    The Relinquishing of Control: Giving up Power over our own Health 

    Municipalities and other government bodies across the country have passed laws that dictate and limit the amount of trans-fat, sodium and other unhealthy food characteristics in order to protect us from ourselves.

    It may surprise many of you that I vehemently disagree with such laws and regulations.  While I believe that avoiding foods and food ingredients that are inherently bad for you is a reasonable and recommended course of action, I do not believe it is the job of a government or regulatory agency to TJ%202%20436X500 The Relinquishing of Control: Giving up Power over our own Healthmake decisions for you or your family.  As Thomas Jefferson once said, “Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.  The course of history shows us that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”

    Regulations and laws serve the purpose of filling a vacuum.  They are generally created because people have failed to assume personal responsibility for doing that which is right, just and smart.  For many it is simply easier to give up responsibility for themselves and their families and allow some external force to make those daily decisions for them.

    At the end of the day, your decision to eat ice cream as opposed to drinking an Isagenix® IsaLean® shake should be your own.  My concern is where these trends stop.  Regulation equals control, and not control of our own lives.  Rather it is some disconnected agency that may or may not have our best interests in mind deciding what is best while telling us all that we are incapable of making these decisions for ourselves and loved ones.

    Lose Weight Eating Chocolate 

    Isagenix Chocolate Improves Mood, Curbs Cravings,

    Boosts Energy, Helps Burn Fat and Decreases Hunger!

    Some Questions you may have about IsaDelight Plus™:

    How can women benefit from eating IsaDelight Plus?

    During a woman’s cycle or change of life, “feel good” chemicals can drop, which can cause sugar cravings. IsaDelight Plus helps boost your “feel good” chemicals, which can help to reduce cravings. It also contains a special blend of B Vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids, which support positive mood and optimal mental energy. By curbing cravings, satisfying IsaDelight Plus strengthens your will to cleanse, promoting easy and healthy weight-management, leaving you feeling great!

    Who can benefit from IsaDelight Plus?

    All adults can enjoy dark chocolate decadence without the guilt. This powerful green tea-enhanced treat packs an extra antioxidant boost while helping to curb cravings, increase fat metabolism, enhance mood and boost energy, leaving you looking and feeling your absolute best! Green tea contains EGCG, which guards cells against free radicals and promotes heart health. It also helps support fat burning and curbs cravings while supporting weight management goals. Just two rich and delicious treats contain the antioxidant capacity of one cup of green tea, with an ORAC value of over 5,700.

    How does IsaDelight PLUS help stop cravings for sugar and carbohydrates?
    When your “feel good” chemicals are low, you crave unhealthy foods. IsaDelight Plus boosts “feel good” chemicals, which helps curb cravings.
    Why did Isagenix add green tea extract to make IsaDelight Plus?

    Green tea improves the nutritional benefits of this super chocolate by providing even more antioxidant support. It may also assist in boosting fat metabolism to help with weight-management goals.

    Does IsaDelight Plus contain caffeine?

    IsaDelight Plus contains only 13 milligrams or less of naturally-occurring caffeine from its chocolate, which is similar to the amount found in a decaffeinated cup of coffee, or a full size chocolate candy bar.

    How does IsaDelight Plus help me lose weight?

    IsaDelight Plus is excellent for curbing cravings throughout the day, so it is perfect for Cleanse and Shake Days. Take 1-2 chocolates up to twice daily, best taken on an empty stomach or 2-3 hours after meals. New scientific studies suggest that not only does green tea extract contain antioxidant catechins (including EGCG) that help fight free radicals, but it also supports increased fat-burning potential in the body.

    What makes IsaDelight Plus a good choice when I am dieting?

    Made from cocoa beans, chocolate contains many of the health benefits derived from fruits and dark vegetables. Dark chocolate is loaded with flavonoids (nearly eight times the number found in strawberries), which act as antioxidants to protect your body from free radicals. With the addition of 125mg of green tea extract, this super chocolate has even more youth-boosting antioxidant strength.

    Maintaining A Healthy Weight Is A Balancing Act 

    How to get to a Healthy Weight and Stay There:

    Achieving and maintaing a healthy weight really is all about balancing highly nutritious food intake with physical activity but what else is missing?

    Regular Cleansing is what most diets are missing and why they don’t work for the long term.  Regular Cleansing can help tip the scales in your favor!!!

    Regular Cleansing, includes fasting and drinking herbal remedies, which has been practiced throughout history and around the world.  Cleansing gives the body the chance to rest, regenerate and assist in its natural ability to remove toxins and impurities to promote long-term wellness. However, Nutritional Cleansing improves upon this ancient practice with a system that cleanses, replenishes and revitalizes the body with essential nutrients. Fasting helps to remove impurities from the body, but Nutritional Cleansing speeds up this process by infusing the body with healthy nutrients.

    In simple terms, Nutritional Cleansing can be compared to changing the oil in your car. We regularly change the oil in our cars because it gets dirty and clogged by pollutants. We drain the dirty oil and replace it with clean oil, which helps our cars to run more efficiently. The same can be said for our bodies. We are regularly exposed to pollutants in our environment, impurities in our diets and stress that is often created by our hectic lifestyles. Nutritional Cleansing helps the body and organs to do what they are designed to do naturally and remove impurities.

    Nutritional Cleansing is complete systems that can help to promote optimum health, help you lose weight and maintain your weight loss for life!!!  It’s a complete approach to greater health and wellness.

    What is Nutritional Cleansing with Isagenix?

    Cleanse Days are a period of low-calorie intake, with no meals and only suggested snacks, accompanied by our Cleanse for Life™ liquid nutritional supplement, which replenishes the body with essentials vitamins and minerals.

    Shake Days are when you follow a low calorie meal routine, where one to two meals are replaced with nutrient-rich IsaLean® Shakes, Bars or Soups. The third meal is a suggested low-calorie, nutrient-dense meal.

    The final component of the Nutritional Cleansing Isagenix system is an infusion of essential nutrients, which includes daily supplements taken that provide essential vitamins and minerals to optimize health along with a minimum daily 20 minute exercise routine .

    The Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing system is not a “quick-fix” or a diet.  It about creating a healthy, manageable lifestyle.

    The benefits of Nutritional Cleansing, combined with the convenience of a complete wellness system, has given people the ability to change their lives in remarkable ways and has created greater health and safe, lasting weight loss for hundreds of thousands of people.

    Remember that small steps add up. Slow, steady weight loss is more likely to last than dramatic weight changes. 

    If you want to reach or maintain a healthy weight, the best path is a lifelong combination of eating smarter, moving more and cleansing regularly. For a personalized plan tailored to your lifestyle consult one of Team Cleansing Coaches with both a personal story with Isagenix and expertise in weight management at http://www.CleanseMyself.com.

    Taking the Mystery Out of Toxicity 

    It has been estimated that each day we are exposed to over 4000 different dangerous chemicals, toxins and pollutants in our daily lives.  These along with processed foods, nutrient poor diet, some modern medicines and a stressful and busy lifestyle can take a toll on the body.

    Are you toxic?

    The human body is a miracle and in ‘normal’ quantities the body is able to process and destroy these toxins, but with so much chemical and toxin exposure now occurring our bodies are  struggling to keep up. These environmental impurities can build-up inside inside the body, clogging and damaging cells.  There damaging effects have been shown to cause or aggravate a range of health problems, including weight loss efforts.

    Nutritional Cleansing With Isagenix

    Cleansing has been used throughout history and gives the body the chance to rest, regenerate and assist in its natural ability to remove toxins and impurities to promote long-term wellness.  Nutritional cleansing is the modern version of an ancient practice.  Nutritional Cleansing systems, such as the Isagenix cleanse, improve upon this ancient practice with a system that cleanses, replenishes and revitalizes the body with essential nutrients. Fasting helps to remove impurities from the body, but Nutritional Cleansing speeds up this process by infusing the body with much needed healthy nutrients.

    Benefits of nutritional cleansing

    The are a wide range of reported benefits of nutritional cleansing, some of the most common include:

    • Reach and maintain optimum weight
    • Improve digestion and bowel function
    • Get more energy and better concentration
    • Feel energized and regain optimum health

    Isagenix For Athletes 

    On race day nothing else matters. Not your job, the weather, your social life, the chores you need to do, nothing. All that matters is that you show up and do what you intended to do.”

    “I was a skeptic – I wasn’t even looking for something.  That isn’t to say I knew it all, I just didn’t have a big belief in the supplementation industry.  I was a high school and college athlete, I tried to gain weight and tried supplementation and it didn’t work for me. Going on being an athlete my whole life, I realized that it was all about my food so I was all about living from the Earth.  Really eating good healthy food and that is also what I was taught in school in how to help our clients to live a healthy lifestyle.  So supplementation was almost a bad  word to me because I just didn’t feel it was something that we needed.

    When Isagenix was presented to me from a family friend, a very close family friend I said no.  Actually I didn’t even say no, they mailed me a whole package of Isagenix stuff.  I opened it up and saw a lot of pamphlets, CD’s all kinds of stuff and just went  huh, wow and put it on the way side.  I mean it was just how bad sounded to me.

    After about 3 months, my beautiful wife and I have 4 kids (all within 5 1/2 years) so my wife and I were really struggling to find a good nutrition program that would work for her.  You can image what women go through after having four baby’s or even one.  What hormones balance is like with them and what their body goes through.  So I was trying everything out there and that same family friend came back to me and said we really want you to look at this again and see if it is something that you might invest a little more information. They didn’t even want me  to do it or sign up or anything, they just said “Tell us what you think” and I said you know what I am interested in trying it but not for myself, but I want my wife to try it because she needs something.  She was really wanting to find something that would work for her, I was frustrated, this is what I do on a daily basis so for me being not able to help her was very frustrating.

    That was the miracle in our life.  She did it, had phenomenal results, and I was smart enough to say somethings here and I need to look into it, this is pretty awesome in what it did for her in such a short amount of time.

    So I started doing my research, started looking at the web sites, ingredients, who was involved.  That was really big to me because credibility is such a big thing in our industry and I wanted to see what it was coming from.  If these people really had the credentials in their background that I could you know that could possibly say that “Yea this is something good”.  Because so many people in the supplementation industry just don’t put in what they say they are going to put in their products. That is a bad part of our industry.  That was really  a big factor for me, then I had to try it myself,  I met with Jim Rhoades and we had a face to face meeting for over two hours before I even thought about doing the program. Which was phenomenal, he is just a great, great guy.  In fact he was here in Dallas, TX just 2 days ago and we had such a day, it was so great to get a chance to see him again.  Any how that was when the transformation in myself. The over all leanness and total body appearance and lean muscle mass development and keeping my strength and everything.

    People noticed on me and I thought wow if people noticed on me just think what this could do for my clients.  I mean the average  individual needs to lose somewhere between 15 – 25 pounds and gosh, it could help so many people so the light bulb went off in my head and here we are some 2 1/2 years later.”

    How Do Isagenix Protein Bars Compare to Clif Bars?

    Childhood Obesity Linked to Fast Foods 

    The President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Dr. Neal Barnard, stated that the blame of  the increasing rate of childhood obesity seems to be linked to the increase in unhealthy foods  rather than  decreased exercise.

    Dr. Barnard analyzed food availability data from 1909 to 2007 and found that during that period of time the food availability increased  from 35 to 87 lbs per person per year of oils, from 124 to 200 lbs per person per year of meat, from 4 to 33 lbs per person per year of cheese and from 1.5 to 25 lbs per person per year of frozen dairy products.

    Also from 1970 to 2007 the availability of sweeteners increased from 119 to 136 lbs per  person per year.  This increase in caloric sweeteners reflects the increase in high-fructure corn syrup, which in part may be related to the sharp availability of carbonated beverages which increased by 15 gallons per person per year when comparing data from 2007 to 1980.

    Lets stop and think about this  for a minute. This increase alone in sweeteners i.e. mostly high-fructose corn syrup in the last 27 years has had a dramatic impact on rather new childhood illnesses  such as  diabetes, obesity and not to mention ADHD?!

    Do you think a growing child with a growing brain should be bathed in so much sugar?!

    The consumption of bad fats is what is increasing so we must educate ourselves on the good fats.  Overall I believe Dr. Barnard is stating that we eat too much and so it follows that our children do the same.  To quote Dr. Barnard, “Our analysis of USDA figures shows that the big increases over the last century have been in the amount of meat, cheese, oil, and frozen desserts that people are consuming.  While people tend to blame a lack of exercise, it appears that meaty, cheesy diets are largely to blame.”
