Your lifestyle, and how you react to it, is of vital importance for your health (and even weight loss). I think it is safe to say that most of us already recognize the danger of excess and ongoing stress daily.
So today we are going to talk about how you can reduce stress and simplify your life in the process. A simpler daily lifestyle is usually one that is pretty low in stress after all, but still plenty abundant in happiness!
Fight or Flight, Not Worry All Day
We have seen how the body actually can thrive on “short term” stress …
Many of you may already belong to a gym and enjoy going, and there is nothing wrong with that (assuming you are working out the right way of course). But many lack the time or money to keep going to a gym consistently. Some of you may travel alot for work or stay at home with kids. There is still no reason for you to not be able to fit in a workout regardless of your schedule and location. If you can make the time, I’ll show you how easy it can be to make your own simple home gym …
Here we are into the second phase of our 30 day challenge already! (note for those who may be new to the challenge, you can always follow along on your own schedule and start your own 30 day challenge with day 1 here).
So far we have avoided the most common culprits when it comes to additional stress on our body. At this point we are going to “allow” reintroduction of certain things (and with some restrictions). Remember that it is still up to you to keep up the great progress you have made so far and be in control, …

Many in the mainstream hear the word “fast” and immediately think “starvation”. Heck, I used to think that way too until I started to dig deeper and understand more about how the body works (and was designed to survive all this time).
Nowadays we are sold on the idea that we need to eat more often in order to have a faster metabolism, but as disputed in the past articles we know that is not true. Sadly most mainstream diets sell best when they are complicated, because you have to buy a book (or additional supplements/bars/shakes) in order to …
Day 5 of our 30 day challenge is already here. My how time does fly (well maybe not for all especially since we took coffee off the list). Great job everyone who is sticking with it, and don’t worry in phase II we will let you start to work foods/drinks back in again (that includes coffee, after all we are not sadists here!). The benefit about routinely cycling off things like caffeine for a bit, is it should increase your sensitivity when you go back to it (so you will need less than before). Also you are proving right now …
Up till now we have talked about cleaning out the house of things you don’t “need” as well as how to start cooking right. Today’s focus is about everyone’s favorite 2 words “time management”.
It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about? ~ Henry David Thoreau
In truth, people can generally make time for what they choose to do; it is not really the time but the will that is lacking. ~ Sir John Lubbock
You will never “find” time for anything. If you want time, you must make it. ~ Charles Bruxton
