Is weight gain inevitable as we get older?

Belly fat can creep up on us as we get older....but it's not inevitable.  A bulge is avoidable.  Most of the fat around our bellies isn't gained--it's weight that's shifted due to weakening bones, hormone changes, or possibly childbirth.  We can slow the shift with strength training.  A study from the National Institutes of Health showed that overweight and obese women who lifted weights just twice a week saw a smaller increase in intra-abdominal fat (7 percent over two years) than those who didn't exercise (their intra-abdominal fat went up 21 percent in two years).  So the take home lesson here is:  start lifting weights and we'll keep that belly fat at bay...and we might even get Michelle Obama arms as a perk!

Latisse Lash-Growth Serum in Instyle Magazine!

Latisse is in the news again! Click here to find out more!

My experience: I have used Jan Marini and Revitalash, both good products....but Latisse outdoes them all. My lashes are longer, thicker, and darker than ever before. Don't tell anyone....but I only have to use this product about every 3 days or my lashes get too long. This product is more concentrated and very safe to use. I get so many clients asking me about my long lashes. I made the horrible mistake when I was a teen of plucking my eyebrows too much. I have tried everything from other eyelash products to Minoxidil to try to get them to grow back. This is the first product that has helped me to do that. I am so excited.

Isolaz light based acne therapy

Light-based Acne Treatments (LED blue or red light)

Today’s most popular light-based acne treatments harness the power of blue light to safely and painlessly treat inflammatory acne without the harmful side affects. One of the ways blue light improves acne is by creating heat that causes the bacteria to produce ‘suicide’ proteins, so they essentially kill themselves. Red light may be used in conjunction with blue light to help treat the inflammation associated with acne.

HOW IT WORKS The wavelength associated with blue light is able to zero in on P. acnes bacteria and kill them without affecting other components of the skin.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS Generally Isolaz or blue light therapy for eight sessions over a four-week period, and each session lasts from 15-30 minutes. Isolaz

RESULTS SEEN Within the first four weeks, but most patiens see improvement after the first two to three treatments.

SIDE EFFECTS Any reactions to blue light tend to be mild, and include temporary pigment changes, swelling and dryness in the treated area.

COST Starting at about $150 -$250 per treatment if Levulan is used.

Keep a journal for weight loss

This is a tip for all our Smartlipo, Zerona, and Take Shape for Life clients who are trying to lose or maintain their lost inches.

KEEPING A JOURNAL FOR WEIGHT LOSS CAN BE POWERFUL!
A recently released study that tracked 1685 middle-aged men and women for six month compared those who kept a food diary to those who didn't. Those who wrote down what they ate every day lost twice as much weight as those who didn't . The mere act of tracking food intake can be extremely powerful.

Day-Timer has a Weight Management System for about $50. You can go to www. daytimer.com

I wanted to see if I could find something else that might be even better. So of course I went to Amazon.com and found The DietMinder Personal Food & Fitness Journal for about $10.00. I just ordered one and I'll let you know how I like it.
