Many people think that to be healthy and to lose weight, one should avoid fat. This simply is not true. Our bodies need some fat. But it is important to learn the difference between good and bad fats.
Even with all the no-fat and reduced fat foods that line the shelves of the supermarket and are purchased every day, we still have an obesity trend in this country.
Check out this article which discusses some of the problems with low-fat diets and how to incorporate healthy fats into your diet:
Karma Chow is a great website with recipes and nutrition/health resources from Tony Horton’s personal chef, Melissa Costello.
While I am not a vegan, I know many people who are and will enjoy this recipe. Heck, I will enjoy this recipe. It sounds/looks delicious.
Tony Horton’s Famous Vegan Burritos
A lot of people wonder if Tony Horton is vegan. Here’s an excerpt which may help to answer that question:
Horton calls himself a “Flexitarian”, which means that he eats mostly a plant-based diet 90% of the time but will have the occasional fish, eggs or free-range, organic chicken if he is out and about and there are no other options. Otherwise, he keeps it clean; very little sugar (only in the form of agave, honey or brown rice syrup), no gluten, no dairy, very minimal processed foods and tons of WHOLE, FRESH food!
This recipe is also featured in Tony Horton’s new book:

It is possible to do P90X if you are vegan, just make sure you are eating properly. This newsletter shares info on how to alter the P90X nutrition plan if you are vegan:
Going Vegan, P90X Style
Fun fact: the Old Spice guy works out with Tony Horton and follows Tony’s vegan, gluten free diet. Last year he was on the Tonight Show and shared,
“I’m lucky to workout with Tony Horton of P90x fame. He’s got me on this diet right now that’s absolutely ridiculous. There are 5 things you can’t do: There’s no alcohol; no caffeine; no processed sugars; nothing with a face — no animals or animal byproducts; but here’s the tough one: no gluten.”
I’d say he’s in pretty great shape. Here’s just one of the commercials he appears in:
When you break it down per serving, Shakeology only costs $4.00 per shake ($3.00 if you sign up as a coach). $4.00 a day is nothing when you consider how much people spend on unhealthy beverages every day.
One shake a day could possibly change your health for the better… help lose weight, improve regularity, lower cholesterol, increase energy and supply your body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs to sustain itself. Plus Shakeology scores very low on the glycemic index.
Don’t believe me? Try it for 30 days risk free! If you don’t feel healthier, more energized, and simply amazing, you won’t pay. You can return Shakeology for any reason and get your money back (less s&h)—even if the bag is empty!

Here’s an interesting article from Yahoo Health:
The Truth About Your Weight Gain
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that American men eat 7 percent more calories than they did in 1971; American women eat a whopping 18 percent more—an additional 335 calories a day! But the harder question is this: Why do we eat so many more calories? Are we suddenly more gluttonous?”

It’s success stories like these that make me proud to say that I am a Beachbody Coach. My passion is to help support the inherent, natural healing process that we all possess. Whether that is through my work as a CranioSacral Therapist; my part time job in a local, natural health food store selling vitamins, supplements, and safe body care products; or as a Team Beachbody Coach helping people find the perfect workout and getting their nutrition on track, I know that I am doing my part to help others achieve their goals of health and wellness.
I believe in Beachbody’s programs and I believe that Shakeology is the healthiest shake on the market today (and the most delicious!). These are not fad diets or exercise programs. These are lifestyle changes that when seriously committed to will change people’s lives. I am excited to be part of that and to share this amazing company and their products with others.
Watch how Cammie, a mother of 3, overcame great adversity to combat the debilitating symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. With P90X, Shakeology, and the support of her loving family, she found the strength and hope she desperately needed.
After watching this wonderful success story, check out what Doctors are saying about Shakeology and why they are recommending it to their patients.
What a great success story!
At 52 years old, Bob lost 47 pounds and 6 inches off his waist. Using Shakeology to help fuel his P90X workouts, he has also been able to stop taking his high blood pressure medicine and his anti-depressants. But most importantly, I feel, is that he is doing this with his son. That’s a beautiful thing.
Watch this and try not to be inspired.
My past couple of posts have been about the New Year’s resolution to get fit or get in shape. I wanted to add another to help support you in achieving your health goals in 2011. The focus of this post: Shakeology.
For over 10 years I have been interested in health and nutrition. While my formal training is in Massage and CranioSacral Therapy, I have done a lot of reading and learning about nutrition, supplementation and general wellness. For over a year and a half I have worked part time at a local health food store in the vitamin/supplement/body care department whose focus is to offer the best natural and organic products available.
During the 21 months I have been there, I have spent a lot of time learning even more about different supplements and their benefits. I have also tried a lot of different products to see how I felt when using them. Tablets, capsules, tinctures, and powders. Some of them were great, some were not … and most of the powders were disgusting!
After starting P90X I began to read about Shakeology. The ingredients impressed me: vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, protein, antioxidants, and phytonutrients… all in one shake. The list includes numerous supplements that people ask for and that I recommend every day that I work.
I was very interested… but very hesitant.
I had yet to taste a supplement powder packed with this many nutrients that was actually enjoyable to drink. I knew the benefits of the 70+ ingredients, but if it was too disgusting to drink I wouldn’t use it. However, I figured it couldn’t be worse than some of the other mixes I had already tried, so I ordered some to put it to the taste test.
It was delicious!!! Seriously. I was pleasantly surprised.
Since then I have given some to other people to try as well. All of them have told me similar stories about trying awful tasting shakes, but then tried and loved Shakeology.
So how does this fit into your goals to get healthy, get in shape, and lose weight in 2011? Here’s a short clip from the Shakeology Website:
This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.
At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.
So, why Shakeology?
You get 17 grams of quality protein plus all the nutrients with only 140 calories. And you don’t have to buy take over 20 different pills every day. It costs less than a meal at a fast food restaurant and provides so much more nutrition. It fills you up and fuels your body. Pair up Shakeology with a solid exercise program and be prepared for dramatic changes in your health and wellness.
Don’t believe me? Check out this video to hear why doctors are recommending Shakeology. Or contact me to get an audio presentation from doctors across the country who stand behind Shakeology.

If you are interested in purchasing Shakeology, I would be happy to show you how you could save 25% or more on your order.
I wish you all great health and happiness in 2011 and beyond.
