Support: Self Image

Take Care of Your Body. It’s the Only Place You Have to Live. ~ Jim Rohn

In the world of weight control, self-image has come up a lot. For many, the ONLY reason to reach their goal weight is self-image.

Not us though, right? We are on a quest for health!

::giggle::

Low self-image or self-esteem, can negatively affect almost every part of our lives, from our most precious relationships to our jobs, and ultimately, our health. But the good news is that we can raise the level of our self-image, even if we’ve had a low self-image since we were kids.

It’s as simple […]

Recipe: P2 Potassium Salad

Recipe: P2 Potassium Salad

I wrote an article not to long ago on the value of looking at your potassium numbers in relation to your sodium numbers.

The article leaned toward using the formula contained within during the maintenance phase of your weight control journey.  But some people don’t realize that it is advantageous to follow that rule of thumb during your P2 as well.

I have what I call a “Potassium Day” that you can use on P2 that is almost a miracle for helping you get yourself out of a stall, or to use after a night of indulgence […]

Just because you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town. ~ George Carlin

“Mom, I don’t need Ruffles. If they hurt you, don’t buy them,” said my [at the time] 11-year-old daughter, who is so much wiser than her years.

Simplicity at its finest. No excuses. No regrets. No blame. Just the truth from someone who has my back.

That short, sweet sentence launched the beginning of the end of my addiction.

There, I said it. I’m a recovering addict.

And I’m being completely serious.

Addiction therapy gurus tell us that to overcome an addiction, we first have to admit […]

When you begin the Protocol, you will spend a lot of time thinking about dieting. In fact, I bet you will think about the Protocol all day long. Some of you may even dream about it.

And that’s ok. When something is new, it’s normal to want to learn about it so you can do your best.

But, one of our goals in the program is to put your focus beyond just the weight loss. In truth, we believe that maintenance is the true goal. And to successfully reach that goal, we have found that focusing on more than dieting and food […]

hCG Success: Diane

[Biz] is Superwoman to me!

I first discovered Coach Biz and the HTA forums several years ago when I first started using hCG. I lost quite a bit of weight in a short amount of time, then drifted away, stopped checking in on the forums, and the weight quickly came back with a vengeance (and more). I thought I could handle everything myself, but without direction or accountability, I was lost.

When I finally decided enough was enough, I didn’t think of going anywhere other than Coach Biz for guidance, but this time I did it right: I signed up for one […]

Make a Decision!

Make a Decision!

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. ~ Ben Stein

Have you ever made a decision that quite literally changed your life?

A while back, I had a conversation with one of my clients in regards to a decision she made that changed her life in less than 6 months. The decision was quite simple really. It was whether or not to take a call from a business coach.

That one decision was monumental, however, because it said to the Universe that she was ready to invest in herself.

It got […]

hCG Success: Marla

I lost a lot of weight before I met Biz, over 100 pounds.

But then I REALLY struggled during P3 and P4.  Maintaining that weight loss was HARD!

Biz let me email her anytime and even text her when I was away from my computer. She encouraged me. She got me back on track when I fell off the wagon. She “held my hand” many times when I whined and talked poorly about myself. She not only taught me what foods could work with my body, but she taught me how to be nice to myself and stop putting myself down.

I […]

Support: In the Zone

Techniques for getting in the zone differ a little bit depending on whether it’s a team or an individual sport. Nevertheless, there are some core techniques that everyone can use. ~ Aynsley M. Smith

The phrase “In the Zone” is often used when people talk about the skills of pro athletes who make their feats look effortless. It’s also used when people talk about weight loss that seems to happen like magic.

But, what does “being in the zone” mean exactly?

When a person is in the zone, they are in that magical space where the mind and body are in sync. It’s […]
