 Avoid
the use of artificial sweeteners. They appear to disturb
the body's ability to count calories and, as a result,
diet foods and drinks may wind up encouraging weight
gain rather than weight loss. It basically goes
something like this: In a world without artificial
sweeteners, a taste of something sweet preps the brain
and the gut for digestion of incoming calories. When the
calories don't show, as happens with artificial
sweeteners, those metabolic responses don't fire the way
they should. Insulin doesn't increase; hormones that
increase the feeling of fullness and satisfaction aren't
triggered; and the brain doesn't get a feeling of reward
from the dopamine that sugars release.

Stand Tall like a Sunflower
 Have
you ever noticed how a tiny little Sunflower stand tall
in a garden, nothing stopping it from developing. We too
have the capability of doing the same thing. Once our
environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves
like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same
nourishment and nurturing as well.
First, we need to believe in ourselves knowing we have
the capabilities in achieving our desires. Just like the
Sunflower, it knew it had the capability to overcome its
obstacle because it trusted in the Universal Truth and
had faith it would succeed.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and
what you are and the environment will begin to support
you. You will find a way to go under or around your big
obstacle in order to reach your desires.

 Brooke Burke: "I don't believe in fad diets and quick fixes. I don't think they last and they do not work. For me, the key is really developing a healthy lifestyle and a diet that you can maintain. I don't even really like using the word diet, but I do eat sort of a "Mediterranean diet". This consists of lots of good fats, nuts, Herbs, spices, lean meat, fish, salads, and veggies. I also drink a ton of water and eat frequent small and healthy meals."
