New Way To Motivate Yourself To Burn Fat

New Way To Motivate Yourself To Burn That Fat and Strengthen Your Brain


A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about why all the hype on low fat and low carb diets is absolutely false.

Your body needs good fats and has to rid itself of the bad ones -like trans and hydrogenated fats that keep you fat, and make you even more hungry.

We keep hearing that obesity in both children and adults is at an all time high. Did you know that carrying around extra weight and fat affects all your organs, reduces your ability to remember things and creates a virtual waterfall of other problems?

My daughter, now a physician, says that one of her main goals is to get kids and adults into shape - so they feel better, have a high performance memory, and have fewer health issues.

So this week, I'm keeping my promise to share strategies that actually show you, once and for all, how to burn that fat off, and feed your muscle. Plus, it's easier than you think.

Click here to read the tips and program.

One mom had this to say:

"This program has changed my life. I have lost 3 dress sizes in 4 months and feel better than ever before. I now have my husband on the program.

If we can do it with 4 kids and full time jobs -- anyone can."

L Ramirez,California, USA

Another person said this:

"I like the nutrition program because I can customize it to my liking. I never get bored."

J. Crowe, B.C., Canada

As for me, I'm always reviewing and using the best available methods for learning and health. They really do go hand in hand.

If you don't feel your best, you won't do your best, in life, in school or in work.

Beware of iPhone and fingernails - forget it as a back to school gift

I sat on a plane and actually used the new iPhone last week because the fellow sitting next to me was kind enough to let me "try" to learn something new and post it on my blog.

He laughed and said, "Go to your own website" and just try clicking on a hyperlink.

He got me because he knew something that I didn't. Forget the iPhone if you happen to have fingernails - it only seems to work with the sensors on your fingertip.

And here I really wanted to share some back to school tips from HowToLearn.com (even before the plane took off) ... guess I'd better trim my nails first...

Can Visual Thinking Show Your Child How To Learn, Raise Grades and Actually Change Your Family's Life?

And so, the Back to School jitters begin...

As parents, we know schools test our kids endlessly these days. Just like the energizer bunny, this written testing 'keeps on going' through college, grad school and even beyond.

So who gets this and aces the tests? Well, it turns out, kids who think in pictures, the "visual" learners, have long unlocked the secret.

They naturally have all the traits that match the school's written testing system just the way it is - (Hint - ask any teacher what the class grade roster looks like -- all the kids are not getting A's every time - and it's a real shame -- because, as I've heard someplace before, we do have the technology) :):)

So, as much as I'd love to see the world change, and schools adapt to your child's learning style, sad to say, it's unlikely that either school or employers are going to shift quickly enough to help kids who struggle today The tests go on...

Question: So, what next?

If you notice that institutions often change very slowly, how can you help your child pass all those darn tests now? Remember, you need a RIGHT NOW PLAN, not a five or 10 year plan.

Answer: Applaud, revere, respect your child's learning style, and then show your child how to learn faster and easier by thinking visually.

Why? Because, a whole lot of neuroscience and good old fashioned experience shows that come crunch time, the child who has just a few of these simple, how to learn visual memory strategies, now has precisely what they need for the zippy fast study and recall methods they need to succeed on the tests.

O.K., sounds simple enough, but have you ever tried to tell your kid to "picture" something he just read and then remember it? A lot of kids have real problems with this.

It's not that they aren't smart, it's just that they either don't know and don't know HOW to use the visual learning strategies they need to read, remember and retrieve the information during a test.

So, after 30 years or so in the education world, (parent, teacher, reading specialist, school administrator, etc.), I've refined this "here's HOW TO LEARN ANYTHING FAST to help your child succeed RIGHT NOW" -- into a system that is literally the fastest ways to A's and B's (assuming of course that your child actually uses the strategies).

Yes, and I agree. There's only a gazillion programs out there telling your kids how to do better in school.

But they all omit this one biggie - kids who get A's are mostly visual learners. They are neater, more organized, can really "see" things long term, and when they remember what they read for the test, they see it all in pictures - which is far faster that trying to recall how they feel about it or what it sounded like. Brain basics 101.

So, now it's up to you. Knowing "HOW TO LEARN" and think visually in school, can literally change your child's life and your family's life. Imagine the peace and quiet - no more homework hassles, no more horrific report cards and really low test scores...

I'm quite serious about this one. Imagine how you'd feel if you and your child learned a few of these visual strategies and then got A's and B's in oh, say a week or two.

I coach people how to do this all the time. It's not rocket science, it's a visual piece of cake. And... when it's used, I've watched kids beam... "Hey Mom, I failed my spelling tests for the past three years, but am getting "A" 's all the time now, cuz I use those visual picture thingy strategies we learned before school started this year..."

So, whether you want this "top secret" RIGT NOW information live, with me, in real time, or the CD version, here's more on How To Win The School Game, by thinking visually...

What are your thoughts on this testing business since you know it isn't going away any time soon?

What Does Independence Mean To You?

If you are in the USA, today is the official Independence Day.

As I write this, after watching a beautiful fireworks display last night, in my very small town, (why they do this on the 3rd, I still wonder?), I've read a lot from people asking the same question today...

What does Independence mean to you?

As a parent, do you ever think you'll feel "independent" or do you even want to? Even as my daughter graduated from medical school and my son from college, I realize I have no need to feel "independent" from them and still love it when they come home, call and ask questions, and share their lives.

As an entrepreneur and author however, independence means a great deal to me and always has.

I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs - my grandmother started a company, at a time when women always stayed home, that eventually became the largest of its type in the country. My mother and father purchased a store, and my mother built that business even after my father passed away.

Since you already know I love learning new things, and how to help others learn them faster, I am reading a fascinating new book called The 4 Hour Work Week where the author shows you:

* why less is more
* how to achieve whatever your personal indenpendence, whatever that means to you
* how to escape the 9-5 grind if you want to and how to show your kids to do the same
* how to ask yourself the tough question during your day: Am I being active or productive?

There's so much more here that people like Jack Canfield, former teacher and creator of Chicken Soup For The Soul, now best selling author of The Success Principles: How To Get From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be, says it's truly time such a book was written and it's destined to be the manifesto for everyone.

We'll see about that - although Tim does believe in outsourcing what you can and showing you how to free up your time so you can enjoy life now and not put that off till later... maybe we'd all agree with that part.

What do you think? Leave your thoughts and I'll post them for our learning community...
