try these pumpkin pancakes…
You’re going to love the recipe below – it’s a guilt-free way to enjoy the favorite flavor of the season – pumpkin. But before we dive into the recipe, I have to jump up on a soapbox for a moment… Ask yourself this question (and answer it honestly!) How hard are you really pushing yourself while you exercise? Do you workout enthusiastically, feeling the burn with a smile, pushing yourself to the limit? Or would you describe your exercise time more like an even trot? Coasting along, breaking a respectable sweat, doing the same old thing. Since you take the time to exercise and desire to have your body change into a slimmer, more toned version of yourself, then use the following tips to get more out of your exercise time. Focus your mental energy. It sounds simple, but often isn’t. If you’re lifting weights, focus on that specific muscle group. Researchers saw a significant increase in muscle activity when people focused on what they were doing, compared to thinking about unrelated topics. Have an audience.Researchers saw a significant increase in strength and endurance in people who had an audience, compared to those training on their own. Get a caffeine boost.Caffeine has been shown to help burn fat and increase your endurance. The most effective amount seems to be around 300mg one hour prior to working out. Of course check with your doctor first. Pump up the volume. Listen to upbeat music while you exercise. Researchers found that personal music motivated weightlifters to complete two more repetitions on average than those who were not listening to music. Keep things fresh. Alter your routine often. This will help you to avoid plateaus and will continue to challenge your body. Try new exercises, new intensities and new environments. Stay nourished and hydrated. Pay attention to your food and your hydration levels. You’d be amazed how much being dehydrated can affect your performance even away from the gym. Find your magic time. Work out when your body is at its best. If you’re not a morning person, do not force the issue on your body. Wear clothes that you love. Not only will you be happy to put them on and show them off, but you will be able to focus completely on the task at hand, rather than stressing that your pants will split whenever you squat. Make sure the shoe fits. Can you imagine a tap dancer performing without tap shoes? Your shoes are just as important! With correctly fitted shoes for your workout or sport, you’ll keep your feet, ankles, knees, and back protected and healthy. Use a professional. If you don't already, have me design your workouts. This will ensure that you’re being challenged and seeing results. Don’t know where to start when it comes to exercise? That’s where I come in.

Drop the Self-Judgment — Keep the Accountability  Want to know something that’s similar to paralyzing fear and almost as destructive? It’s self-judgment, being so hard on yourself that you lose positive perspective and lose motivation to keep trying.
We all do. But don’t let healthy accountability become a roadblock to exercising regularly, eating right, and managing your lifestyle. When that inner critic gets too loud, it can erode confidence and motivation. Try these strategies to keep your mindset constructive, healthy and balanced:
Owning your results means learning from mistakes, not punishing yourself for them. “Yep, I did that. Will do better next time. Onward.” The most successful people treat themselves with patience and persistence. If you wouldn’t say it to someone else, don’t say it to yourself. 8 Ways You Get Great Results With Glyconutrients 1- Drink Pure Spring Water. As an absolute minimum, take your body weight in lbs, divide by 2 & drink that many ounces of Pure Spring Water everyday so that your cells get 'bathed' in a bath of Glyconutrients. For example a 120lb woman would drink a minimum of 60 oz of pure spring water per day.
2- Consume Fiber. Using a high-quality fiber supplement or eating a diet very high in fiber & in raw vegetables will enhance the results you get from your glyconutrients.
3- Don't take glyconutrients of any kind on an empty stomach. Why? No, it won't hurt you, but your body will burn it for energy. That is expensive energy. Glyconutrients are best absorbed when mixed with food or stirred into a drink.
4- Do not take fiber supplements within 1 hour of any other supplement.
5- Give Your Body Time to Start Healing. Most conditions develop gradually over many years(or even decades). Just like getting sick, getting well takes time. I have seen many people see no results until the 4th or even 6th month on the discount glyconutrients. Why? It takes months(or even years) for your body to replace sick cells with healthy ones. To learn more about this go to: How soon should I expect to experience the effects of dietary supplements? By Jane Ramberg, MS @ Glycoscience.org .
6- Enhance Your absorption of Glyconutrients. According to Dr. Milner you can enhance your absorption of your discount glyconutrients by simply NOT swallowing your them--instead, you do two easy things:
a. let them dissolve in your mouth, so that it is absorbed in the mouth, not in the stomach (this takes about 1 minute). You do not need water to do this--your saliva is more than sufficient.
b. take smaller amounts more often, like 1/8 or 1/4 of a teaspoon at a time, >span class="qowt-font6-Arial"> the day, like every hour or two. I have started doing this myself, and I recommend it to you.
7- Use ALL THREE of the basic products: Glyco-Antioxidant, Phytosterol, food-based vitamin. These three products represent four sciences that work together synergistically, like the four wheels on a car work together:
- Cellular communication provided by the glyconutrients - Antioxidant protection from free radicals and "internal terrorists" - Natural plant hormones provided by the phytosterol - Essential vitamins and minerals in a food form state for maximum assimilation provided by the food-based vitamin.
You wouldn't settle for just one or two tires would you? Don't settle for less than what you need either!
8- Take Enough Glyconutrients to satisfy your body's need. Keep in mind that the suggested serving size you see on the label of your glyconutrients supplement bottle is a suggested minimum for young adults in "good" health. If you are unsure what amount is right for you please contact your representative. When buying glyconutrients, remember that a container may not last you an even month if you have a health challenge.
