The Shift

The Shift: A better way to lose weight, build and tone muscle

Easy to understand with quick results ~ Review by Relatively Rebecca

OK, so I've been getting into a lot of books regarding weight loss and eating right. However, I haven't found too many workout books that are for someone like me. I'm busy and hate the gym. The Shift offers a really great alternative to being a constant gym-goer.

I have found it much easier to commit to 10 minutes a day with the Shift's workout plan. I've started with the baseline routine and already feel like I'm making progress!

I really appreciate the info provided on the concepts - it helps everything make sense. And the info is laid out for me in an organized, easy to understand way. I think this book, coupled with eating right is going to make a huge difference in my life for the new year!

Book Description:

Can exercising for ten minutes a day really be enough to reward you with lower body fat, increased muscle / tone, improvements in stamina and overall health? The answer to that question is an emphatic YES! Ten minutes a day is enough, IF and only IF you follow the right program, a program such as The Shift.

The Shift is a culmination of years of research and data effectively and efficiently stitched together by a dedicated engineer who dared to ask the question in the first place. Accepting that his busy lifestyle did not allow for hitting the gym for an hour or more every day was the first step to the development of this program. Prioritizing his health and the desire to keep that health for a lifetime was the second step. In this busy life of ours how can we exercise and stay healthy, especially as we age, every single day? The answer is simple: 10 minutes, at home, on your schedule. The Shift can revolutionize how you think of exercise and have a lasting impact on the quality of your life. So, what are you waiting for? Do you have 10 minutes to spare?

In this busy life of ours how can we exercise and stay healthy, especially as we age, every single day? #theshift

"Wow. This book goes very deeply into the reasons behind weight problems, an gives you an elegant solution. You get the full deal - the science behind the program in the book, an explanation of the routines and timing involved, and excellent illustrations, which make sure you're doing it all correctly. It would suit all manner of people, from couch potatoes to gym junkies, and offers something to everyone in between. Let's face it, if you can't find ten minutes a day you are not really trying. Lots of info, and highly recommended." ~ Review by Stephanie Fairey

I never realized that was my pattern until I read Food Addicts, and recognized that I had been putting all my shame onto myself, and blaming eating and food. It was all so mixed up in my psyche, I had to start unravelling the threads. It's been a long road toward recovery from my unhealthy relationship to my body, but at least I have stopped bingeing, and now recognize when I eat for emotional reasons. Also, I'm working on loving myself more. ~ Review by Alex C.

This is a great read, whether you have suffered hardships or are blessed to be without. It's entertaining and funny, yet it pulls at the heart strings. It puts life into perspective and makes me appreciate everything I have. I love this book and couldn't put it down!

~ It's a must have! Review by Sarina Taylor

Book Description:

Life is definitely not for beginners or amateurs. This is what Written in The Stars, The Art of Letting Go and Starting Over shows us.

The book is an autobiographical novel, where the author tells us, with great sensitivity, about all of the obstacles she has had to face. And there were several.

• When Milla was only ten years old her father disappeared in Africa.
• For ten years she was overweight.
• She had very a complicated relationship with her mother.
• In 2012 she was diagnosed with cancer.

After being in the legal field for over ten years Milla also decided to change careers: she was a very successful lawyer with a Master’s degree from the best law school in Brazil. She went through a marriage and a divorce in the period of 13 months and had numerous heartbreaks.

Reading about it, you might think that it’s a very sad plot, but on the contrary, it’s a demonstration of faith, determination, resilience, love and victory.

Those who decide to read Milla’s book will know that she learned how to face the world and fight her demons.

You will be surprised with life and with the end.

20 Naturally Powerful Smoothies

 

Guest article by Milan Bakrania

20 Naturally Powerful Smoothies

Smoothies are popular because they’re easy to make. No cooking is required. All you need is a blender and the ingredients. But makes a great smoothie? Well, first it should be sugar-free, why? Because sugar is toxic and will make you fat, it’s as simple as that.

A smoothie should also be made with fresh and natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Processed foods should not even be considered for a smoothie. Other things to consider are consistency, calorie intake and quantity.

In my latest e-book (third in the Life Guides series) titled 20 Naturally Powerful Smoothies, I reveal 20 specially-crafted recipes based on natural, sugar-free ingredients for weight loss, muscle gain, sleep, great skin and more. Calorie information and short descriptions have also been added for your convenience.

Is Your Chair Killing You?

~ Guest Article by Kent Burden

Did you know that sitting for extended periods of time is as bad for your health as smoking cigarettes? And exercising for 30-60 minutes a day isn't enough to undo the damage from extended periods of sitting.

Is Your Chair Killing You reveals shocking new research showing that sitting for long periods greatly increases your risk of developing obesity, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Our bodies were designed to move constantly over the course of the day, but most of us sit for hours a day at work and at home!

Celebrity trainer, fitness/wellness expert and award-winning author Kent Burden has created brief, simple movements you can incorporate into your daily life to combat the damaging effects of sitting. These simple movements, done standing for 1-5 minutes each hour will burn calories, energize and refresh you, and you won't even break a sweat; you'll even improve your back pain. This book is a how-to for weight loss and disease prevention. Read this book--you'll be healthier in as little as 8 minutes a day.

Kent Burden finally addresses something fitness professionals have been trying to teach their clients for years.  His book is clear and to the point and his exercises are simple to understand and apply.  This man knows what he's talking about and we will definitely recommend this book to our clients!

Kent Burden says:

You would have to be living under a rock or in a cave not to know that living a sedentary lifestyle was bad for your health. But what exactly is a “sedentary lifestyle”? If you’re like me, I figured after a tough 10 hour day behind my desk I could just hop into the gym, throw around a few weights, jump into the last half of my favorite Zumba class and I’d be golden. But back in 2010 I found out that I was wrong…dead wrong.

While perusing my favorite men’s magazine I happened upon an article that reported new research that seemed to indicate that sitting for long periods of time (basically more than 3 hours at a time) was as hazardous to your health as smoking cigarettes. Even worse, doing the government recommended amount of exercise wasn’t enough to combat the damage caused by all that sitting. I almost fell out of my chair!

For the past two years I have been combing through the research on what has become known as “sitting disease” which has resulted in my book Is Your Chair Killing You?  Loaded with pictures, descriptions and easy to follow advice this book will help you be more active and more productive all day long.

The Thin Woman's Brain is Different!

The Thin Woman's Brain: Re-Wiring The Brain For Permanent Weight Loss is available on Amazon - Here are two links: USA  & Canada

It is my belief that humanity will evolve because of female consciousness. Too much of our potential is squandered when so many women feel ashamed of their bodies. If just 2% of this wasted energy could be re-channeled toward positive activities, our entire race would be richly blessed.

Do you want to get to the root causes as to why this nation continues to gain weight? It is time to address this epidemic in a different way. Dilia Suriel, in her own words, "I do want to share that I’m a world-class analyst. I just happened to wake up one day knowing that I needed to use my analytical talents to end the dieting hell that I’d lived for too many years.” (Kindle Locations 355-357).

Rachel on Amazon commented: "As someone who has read every ebook around on dieting and weight loss, believe me when I say this is the best one of the bunch! As women, we know what the problem is. We know when we've overeaten or made bad choices. But then we do it again. And again. And we keep doing it. This book will tell you why. It will give you the science behind it, the reasons you know what you're doing is wrong and just can't seem to stop.

And then the book tells you how to fix it. It goes through the steps with you on rewiring your brain and your habits to change them into something healthier. You get the tools you need in this book to be successful. This book is obviously researched and has the science to back up what it is telling you. But it is presented in a way that is easy to understand and as you're reading this book, you too will find yourself saying "That's me! I do that!"

This book is for every woman, or man, that has ever struggled with food, eating, habits and behaviors. Read it once, twice, however many times you need to until it sticks, because this book is worth it."

As you know, ( if you follow my blog) when a "self-help" book comes across my desk, I love to share the chapter titles. Here they are:

• Chapter 1 – Restore the Brain, Lose the Weight
• Chapter 2 – The Thin Woman’s Brain
• Chapter 3 – The Food Addict’s Brain
• Chapter 4 – Restoring the Brain to Natural Thinness
• Chapter 5 – Tools to Become Mindful
• Chapter 6 – Pattern Interruption
• Chapter 7 – What is Asking for Attention?
• Chapter 8 – Restoring Food as Nourishment
• Chapter 9 – Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail
• Chapter 10 – Implementing the Naturally Thin Woman Program
• Appendix A – The Truth Will … Make You Hungry
• Appendix B – Special Cases

Suriel has done her homework and has an excellent website which features additional information. Click on the brain photo to be taken to the page titled: 'the food addicts brain'

In my opinion, Dilia Suriel has it right. We do have to rewire the brain. Our brain is our operational system after all. I've watched documentaries about how the brains of people are triggered if they are alcoholics. It would be the same for food addicts as well. In my opinion.

“The brain is the central switchboard that transmits messages to the nervous system.   Every thought and feeling can be correlated to brain activity.” (Kindle Locations 508-509).

What other people are saying! Review on Amazon by Sanya;

"For anyone struggling with weight this eBook will be transformational. The detailed program is clear and easy to follow. I am drawn to well-written books and this one delivers as it is helpful, well-researched and shares complex concepts in a conversational, friendly style. Unlike most weight loss books this one focused on what role the brain plays in our overeating behaviors. I now understand that because all of our behaviors have a genesis with the chemical in the brain until I can restore mine to its pre-food-obsessed health I am not likely to be successful in my long term weight goals."
