"What the heck... I'll give it a try!"
"I have to say I'm so glad I purchased your DebtIntoWealth
System! I was skeptical at first, so I went to the website.
It sounded good, so I figured "what the heck," I'll give it
a try. My goal was to pay off $5000 in credit card debt and
a car loan so I could buy a new home, and get me and my 4
girls out of our 2 bedroom apartment. It worked! It's now 9
months later and ALL of my debt is paid off, and I just
signed a contract on a new 5 bedroom house! There is no
better feeling than to have NO debts, and a savings account
too! Thanks to your system, my family is going to have a
better life by not being enslaved to debt."

Sugar Junkies by Leanne Ely, C.N.C.
Did you know that you could be an addict and have never taken drink, done
drugs or smoked a cigarette? You could be addicted to sugar.
It’s easy to brush this one off. It’s not nearly as unacceptable as
alcoholism or drug addiction. Its addictive traits are pictured
beautifully in magazines, on television commercials and on the wrappers of
the food itself: great big luscious looking cinnamon buns with melting
icing dripping down the sides. Glossy chocolate bars waiting for us to
sink our teeth into its brown richness. It’s overpowering and
intoxicating!
But we have to understand this: sugar is most likely at the very heart and
soul of our body clutter. No matter what form it takes, whether it be in
the simple carb form of white rice or white flour, or something more
obvious like ice cream, pie and chocolate, it has the same deleterious
effect on our bodies: it makes us feel good for awhile, but then it tears
us down to the ground—and just like an addict when she needs another fix,
we go running back for more.
It’s time to get real and call food a drug when it acts like one and that
is exactly what sugar is doing. A Princeton study found that fast food and
sweets can be nearly as addictive as heroin because they set off hormonal
changes in the body. They believe that eating a lot of foods that are high
in fat and sugar can activate your brain the same way drugs can!!
That’s scary! But it doesn’t have to be that way! You can make some simple
changes that will set you free from this bondage. And once again, it
starts with incremental baby steps:
Here are some ways to help you kick the habit:
1) Eat good quality protein sources with each meal. Three meals a day, and
two snacks in-between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. Making
sure you have protein will help stabilize your blood sugar. Stable blood
sugar means you will feel better and are less likely to develop the
cravings that pull you down.
2) Make an easy exchange. White flour, white sugar and white rice do
nothing for you nutritionally. Nothing! Change them out for whole wheat
flour, xylitol (see xylitol.org for info) and brown rice. Easy substitutes
and you will notice a dramatic difference in how you feel. If it is
difficult to completely change, start mixing the white with the brown and
making the change gradually.
3) Supplements may help. Specifically, vitamin C, a B-complex, calcium
with magnesium and chromium picolinate. Please understand: this is
information I have gathered: I am not diagnosing nor prescribing anything
to anyone! Please don’t email me asking me how to use these supplements or
which ones to get.
4) Move! When you move, you produce endorphins. Endorphins make you happy
and this will in turn also help to quell the desire and craving of sugar.
(although you will crash later on sugar; you don’t when you move).
Above all, stay balanced when you eat! You need protein, complex
carbohydrates (not the simple ones!), fats and water. My menus are
designed to be very balanced and will help you get your nutritional self
together for dinner. Go to the website and get a menu with breakfast,
lunch, dinner and snacks to see how to do this: www.savingdinner.com
You are your own expert. I’ve said that for years. Don’t get sucked down
by nutritional gurus with yet another diet, gizmo or gadget to sell you.
You need balanced eating, a healthy dose of common sense, a desire to
build progressive healthy habits to pave your way to freedom from body
clutter with an attitude to match! It’s amazing what we can accomplish
with all of these things in sync.

Help, It Must Be My Clothes! by MissusSmartyPants
If you are like me, sometimes you just have a bad day. I’m sure you can
think of lots of excuses and who’s to blame. Maybe your kids told you at
the last minute they needed to be somewhere-NOW, or you were running
behind in the morning and got to work late—again! We have lots of reasons
why we hurry and wear anything just to get out the door. Did you ever
consider blaming your clothes?
If you didn’t take the time or give any thought to what you wore that day,
chances are that your clothes could have played a part in having a
miserable day.
Here’s what I am getting at: it’s a fact that you feel better when you
know you look better. So why not put a little effort into what you wear?
Let your clothes do some constructive work for you. With a little wardrobe
planning, you can make some basic “uniforms” for yourself.
Here’s what I mean when I say “uniforms”. By doing a closet purge, and
putting together a basic wardrobe plan, you will begin to see “uniforms”.
These are outfits that can be made up with the basic pieces in your
closet. Once you get some basic pieces, you can put together different
matching combinations quickly. Add some mix-and-match jewelry/accessories
and you are set to go and looking good in no-time flat!
Having a uniform plan really works when you are frazzled and rushing in
the morning. If you set out your clothes the night before, you will see
the payoff of a little advanced planning--you will have more time in the
morning. Wouldn’t you like some more time in the morning?
Looking great really does help you start your day right. It allows you to
express yourself; who you are and that you are someone of value. You will
begin to see the effect your fabulous outfits have on you--and your daily
life! Get together your “uniforms” and start looking great today!

Hip Tips
Do you have a nifty, healthy foods tip you'd like to share? Maybe a
comment? Or tell me what you’re doing to be healthier in 2008. Send it in
with your name and state (or country) and we'll use it in a future

** When I cook with avocados I am always stuck with a leftover half or
two. Instead of letting them go to waste, I put them in a Ziploc bag in
the freezer. Then when I make a milk shake or smoothie for a treat, I just
scoop out the frozen avocado half and toss it in. It makes any blended
drink smooth and creamy, and it does not change the color of chocolate or
berry drinks too much. ~Kathryn in Texas
