Although you likely won’t be able to do anything you’d like, you might think of it as your golden opportunity to spend at least part of Feb. 29 living intentionally and positively, for yourself and the people in your life. Here are some fun ways to do that, inspired by the number 29.</div>

As I have stated many times...Your health is determined by how you eat, move and think! The easiest form of movement is walking and should be done on a daily basis. The minimum recommendation is 20 minutes per day and some authorities recommend up to 90 minutes daily. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I recommend doing an activity that you can do every day.. so if you have to start with a 5 or 10 minute walk and increase your time as you go...DO IT!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Gentle, low-impact exercise that’s easy, free and available to everyone – here’s why walking rocks. </h3>

1. Walking strengthens your heart</h3>

Reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by walking regularly. It’s great cardio exercise, lowering levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. The Stroke Association says that a brisk 30-minute walk every day helps to prevent and control the high blood pressure that causes strokes, reducing the risk by up to 27 percent.</div>

2. Walking lowers disease risk</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A regular walking habit slashes the risk of type 2 diabetes by around 60 percent, and you’re 20 percent less likely to develop cancer of the colon, breast or womb with an active hobby such as walking.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
3. Walking helps you lose weight</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You’ll burn around 75 calories simply by walking at 2mph for 30 minutes. Up your speed to 3mph and it’s 99 calories, while 4mph is 150 calories (equivalent to three Jaffa cakes and a jam doughnut!). Work that short walk into your daily routine and you’ll shed the pounds in no time.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
4. Walking prevents dementia</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Older people who walk six miles or more per week are more likely to avoid brain shrinkage and preserve memory as the years pass. Since dementia affects one in 14 people over 65 and one in six over 80, we reckon that’s a pretty great idea.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
5. Walking tones up legs, bums and tums</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Give definition to calves, quads and hamstrings while lifting your glutes (bum muscles) with a good, regular walk. Add hill walking into the mix and it’s even more effective. Pay attention to your posture and you’ll also tone your abs and waist.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
6. Walking boosts vitamin D</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We all need to get outside more. Many people in the UK are vitamin D deficient, affecting important things like bone health and our immune systems. Walking is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors while getting your vitamin D fix.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
7. Walking gives you energy</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You’ll get more done with more energy, and a brisk walk is one of the best natural energisers around. It boosts circulation and increases oxygen supply to every cell in your body, helping you to feel more alert and alive. Try walking on your lunch break to achieve more in the afternoon.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-family: Tesco, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 23px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
8. Walking makes you happy</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s true – exercise boosts your mood. Studies show that a brisk walk is just as effective as antidepressants in mild to moderate cases of depression, releasing feel-good endorphins while reducing stress and anxiety. So for positive mental health, walking’s an absolute must.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #423f3f; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The Pro-Delite protocol is a low-carb diet protocol that is very effective in helping dieters lose weight and keep it off. Low-carb diets are the future and really should be embraced as a life style!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A challenging trait of many of our dieters is "eating on the run" and mindlessly grabbing food when they are hungry to get through the day. Food should be consumed mindfully with appreciation and awareness of what you are eating. The concept of mindfulness is very popular and can be applied to all areas of your life, including eating. Below is a terrific infographic that gives a ton of great info on the science of mindful eating.....enjoy!!</div>

We often get questions about the total grams of carbohydrates that you should consume daily to achieve a fat burning metabolism.<br />
<br />
There are many graphs and charts available on-line that do a great job of outlining recommendations. The best numbers that I have found are from "The Primal Blueprint" by Mark Sisson. Mark is an authority when it comes to the Paleolithic diet and has a resource called "The Primal Blueprint Carbohydrate Curve" that is excellent and simple to understand.<br />
<br />
He defines the following ranges of carbohydrate intake:<br />
<br />
<b>0-50 grams per day: </b> This intake will put you in ketosis and is great for rapid fat loss.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<u style="font-style: italic;"><b>50-100 grams per day: </b> This will put you in a metabolic state (sweet spot) for weight loss. This will promote steady fat loss.</u><b> (THIS IS THE OPTIMAL RANGE FOR MOST PRO-DELITE DIETERS)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>100-150 grams per day: </b>This intake is described as the maintenance zone. After achieving your weight loss goal...this is your desired range for lifestyle maintenance of your weight.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>150-300 grams per day: </b> This level of consumption is the insidious weight gain zone. Carbohydrate consumption will sneak up on even the most "healthy eaters" in the form of breads, cereals, fruit, rice....Daily consumption at this level will promote slow steady weight (fat)gain.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>300+ grams per day: </b> The level promotes excess production of insulin and you will store excess fat as a result. This is considered a danger zone of consumption.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://shapeconpics.s3.amazonaws.com/Primal_Blueprint_Carbohydrate_Curve.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I personally use the above graph to monitor my daily intake and I think it is a fabulous resource for you as you monitor your carb intake!<br />
<br />
Remember that your health is determined by how you eat, move and think...<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We hope that this post finds you well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are anything like me, then you have made a few resolutions for 2016. I actually am actually making a few solid resolutions for this year (one of them is to post more blog entries)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many people make self-promises to get healthy by exercising, eating healthier, losing weight, being more mindful, being more positive...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If one of yours' is to eat healthier and/or lose a bit of "holiday" weight, a re-start of Pro-Delite may be just what you need! We have found over the years that a carbohydrate restricted diet like Pro-Delite</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(for 2 weeks or longer)</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> is a terrific way to detox from the holiday sugar extravaganza and re-start the year healthy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To help our<i> past </i>dieters get a great start to 2016, we have 2 re-start options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Option 1:</u></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2 weeks of multi-vitamin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>$99.00 (normal price $125.00)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>Option 2:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pro-Delite protocol and other information handouts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">12 boxes of Pro-Delite food</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 weeks of multi-vitamin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>$189.00 (normal price $250.00)</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Special food orders can be accommodated with larger orders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We will have limited availability for private coaching but Dr.Jerry will be posting to our blog regularly. He will also be available by telephone (by appointment) and by e-mail. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">**These re-start programs are exclusively for past dieters familiar with Pro-Delite. Prospective/New dieters will be advised to attend a new dieter workshop and have a personal consultation with one of our coaches before beginning the program.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Food quantities are somewhat limited call in your orders today!</span><br />
