A FEW TIPS FROM THE BEST SELLING BOOK THE CALORIE MYTH

January 28, 2014

Here’s a little peek at what you can learn from the CALORIE MYTH!!!!

3 Foods to Break Up With

1. Mashed Potatoes

Garlic buttered mashed cauliflower is more delicious, easier to make, provides dramatically more essential vitamins and minerals, and causes a fat burning—versus fat storing—hormonal reaction in your body. Better taste, plus less prep time, plus slimmer and healthier, leads to an easy break up!

2. Soda

Soda breaks your brain’s ability to tell you when you are hungry and full. It causes you to need to overeat to feel full. Talk about setting yourself up for struggles! Also, sugar correlates with diabetes as strongly as smoking correlates with lung cancer. The good news is that you don’t need to abstain from sweets. Rather, you practice “safe sweeteners.” Enjoying beverages and treats sweetened with natural non-caloric sweeteners such as stevia.

3. Wheat Flour Based Cookies, Cakes, and Pies

Why subject yourself to addictive, depressive, and diabetes- and obesity-causing wheat flour based treats, when the exact same goodies made with coconut flour are even more decadent, speed up your metabolism, help reverse diabetes, burn fat, and leave you feeling more satisfied!

Reading: Within: A Spiritual Awakening to Love and Weight Loss by Dr. Habib Sadeghi and forward by Gwyneth Paltrow.

January 21, 2014

While consumers are bombarded with weight loss plans that focus on diet and exercise, most will quit before they see any results. Dr. Sadeghi explains there is simple reason many dieters fail in their attempts lose weight, and reveals the missing ingredient in the weight loss recipe is self-love. I am loving this book!!! I am learning about epigenetics and how during his recovery from cancer decades ago, Dr. Sadeghi realized self-love can be a tangible, evolutionary force that will create changes in your life that can only be described as miraculous. Right up my alley.

The book and Dr. Sadeghi’s practice have received rave reviews, including:

“Habib Sadeghi is an insightful, kind man who approaches healing in a fresh and uncomplicated way.”—Tim Robbins, actor, director, producer”Dr. Sadhegi has shown me how my outside often reflects my inside; how our minds and bodies mirror each other. He has helped me a great deal, and I hope that through this book more people can enjoy the benefit of his compassion.”—Chris Martin, singer/songwriter, Coldplay

“I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who understands more about the mind/body connection when it comes to changing our health or our lives, than Dr. Sadeghi. In fact, he’s living proof of it.”—Emily Blunt, actor

Dr. Habib Sadeghi D.O is the founder of Be Hive of Healing, an integrative health center based in Los Angeles. He is a highly-respected physician and researcher in the fields of integrative, osteopathic, anthroposophical, environmental, family medicine, German new medicine, homeopathy and clinical pharmacology.

Additional information on Dr. Sadeghi is available on his website: http://behiveofhealing.com.

All proceeds from Within will be donated to Roots of Empathy, University of Santa Monica and Healing Institute of Beings.
