- APPETITE SUPPRESSANTS VERSUS ANTI-SUPPRESSANTS: WHICH ONE'S BETTER? - by Submitted on Dec 16, 2012 from Angela MinelliA recent post on Facebook got me thinking. A “friend” who sells a popular MLM product that promotes weight loss listed “appetite suppressant” as one of the benefits of using the product, which prompted me to ask, “Why would you want to suppress your appetite?” Interestingly, she never ...
Views: 1043 - Change Your Frequency Change Your Body - by Submitted on Sep 24, 2012 from Angela MinelliIn my last blog post, Sleep Time is Realignment -of- Energies Time, I talked about one of my most effective strategies I use to keep my energy aligned so that I am able to stay consistent with what I want to attract to me. Another strategy I use that I again borrow from Abraham-Hicks is the ...
Views: 1579 - What To Do When Your Weight Won’t Budge and You’re Overwhelmed With Fear Over It - by Submitted on Sep 07, 2012 from Angela MinelliSummer’s almost over and soon we’ll be back to jeans, sweaters and for some of us, snow shoes. As with every change of season though comes the dreaded fear of whether your clothes from last season will fit or not. I know I’ve certainly felt this way before. It never fails to cross my mind ...
Views: 1202 - Sleep Time is Realignment-of-Energies Time - by Submitted on Sep 24, 2012 from Angela MinelliPeople really want their sleep ... Who could blame them? When I’ve experienced bouts of sleeplessness, it hasn’t been pretty. I’m a bear. Plus, it makes me manic and those around me aren’t all that happy about it either. Sleep is so fundamental to health. It effects brain function, ...
Views: 1205 - Who's Eating? - by Submitted on Aug 24, 2012 from Angela MinelliWho’s really at the table when you’re eating? Is it the adolescent you? The teenage you? The rebel? I find that one of the most overlooked aspects of eating is knowing who is in charge at meal time, yet undeniably there’s more than one identity involved and determining who they are and what ...
Views: 999 - HOW FEAR OF FOOD INFLUENCES YOUR WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS - by Submitted on Aug 24, 2012 from Angela MinelliI got the impression growing up that the only way someone would love me was when I was perfect, and that included my body. So to gain weight was really scary to me. I literally felt like no one would want me, especially men, unless I was supermodel thin, so every time I gained weight, I ...
Views: 915 - If it’s not a Foodgasm, it’s not worth eating (and it’s making you fat) - by Submitted on Jun 08, 2012 from Angela MinelliThere’s a little thing known as pleasure that is highly underestimated in the world of weight loss, and I have to admit, I’m guilty of teaching it but not necessarily practicing what I preach. For the past two years, I’ve focused primarily on what I should remove from my diet versus how I ...
Views: 1748 - How Viagra Kills Your Sex Drive - by Submitted on May 04, 2012 from Angela MinelliI’m shocked to learn how many men in their 40’s, or even younger, are on the little blue pill known as Viagra. With any medication comes risk, and the side effects of Viagra are astounding, and as with all things natural, my opinion is there is a better way. All medications interfere with ...
Views: 1574 - Emotions Underlie Your Eating Behaviors - by Submitted on Apr 23, 2012 from Angela MinelliIn my work as a Certified Mind-Body Nutrition Coach, the one aspect I see consistently amongst my clients is how their emotions impact their eating, and yet most times they are completely oblivious to it until I point it out to them. When people approach me about working together, they almost ...
Views: 1047 - How Pleasure Fuels My Metabolic Power - by Submitted on Feb 24, 2012 from Angela MinelliFor a long while, I’ve been on a quest to prove what my mentor, Marc David, taught me about pleasure. He swears by Vitamin P (p for pleasure) and claims that without it, it’s virtually impossible to lose weight. As a culture, we are programmed to believe that the more punishing our lifestyle, ...
Views: 1156(1 vote) - Why Setting Boundaries Works for Weight Loss - by Submitted on Jan 31, 2012 from Angela MinelliDo you ever feel trapped, in a relationship, in a job, or even in the confines of your own mind? Setting boundaries is a big topic, one that deserves a lot of attention, and means a lot to me personally, because I used to never do it. But now, I consider it my #1 strategy to remaining calm ...
Views: 1097 - The Truth about Cats and Dogs (and Weight Loss) - by Submitted on Feb 08, 2012 from Angela MinelliHave you ever noticed how easy it is for pets to lose weight? I have, and I’ve always been envious of it. A few years ago, my cat, Molly, who has since passed on, had a few extra pounds on her. She was a petite-sized cat and a few extra pounds on her was like 50 on me, but it always struck ...
Views: 949 - Why I Never "Fall Off The Wagon" - by Submitted on Jan 10, 2012 from Angela MinelliI was out to lunch last week with a friend who was complaining that she gained 4 pounds because she stopped counting calories and therefore fell off the proverbial wagon. She’d been logging her food religiously, right up til Christmas, and then, as she put it, “All hell broke loose.” One of ...
Views: 1155 - Are Sugar Cravings Really the Enemy? The #1 Top Tip to Manage Sugar Cravings - by Submitted on Jul 31, 2011 from Angela MinelliMost people think so, but I have an entirely different take on this topic which is nothing new because I’m generally the misfit in most circles. But I do consider myself the Queen of Cravings, or at least I used to be. I’ve craved it all. Sugar, chocolate, carbs – just about anything ...
Views: 1245 - The Great Dairy Debate - by Submitted on Jul 10, 2011 from Angela MinelliMilk. It does a body a good. Doesn’t it? For the past 6 months, I’ve been dairy free – for the most part. Sometimes it sneaks its way in unbeknownst to me. As diligent as I am about reading food labels, there are occasions when I miss an ingredient and before I know it, I’m eating it ...
Views: 1039 - Soy Stops Sex - by Submitted on Apr 10, 2011 from Angela MinelliI figured that would get your attention. Here’s the deal. Unfermented soy products, such as soy milk, soy ice cream, or soy nuts, are endocrine disrupters and mimic hormones in your body. They block the receptor sites in your cells for naturally produced hormones to lock into and interrupt ...
Views: 1959 - How To Become A Defensive Eater - by Submitted on Feb 28, 2011 from Angela MinelliDefensive driving is driving characterized by prudence, diligence and reasonable cautiousness with the goal of making the road a safe place not only for a defensive driver but for other people as well. Anyone who holds a driver’s license should be well-versed in this concept. So how in the ...
Views: 1541(4 votes) - Relax Into Weight Loss - by Submitted on Feb 03, 2011 from Angela MinelliTypical weight loss regimes involve pushing, forcing and shoving your way to success, coupled with denying yourself pleasure from food along with your natural instinct to slow down. As a culture, we tend to seek out low calorie diets, or the latest fad, vowing each time will be different, and ...
