My Weight Loss tips

Drink water or diluted fruit juice in place of soft drinks (this includes diet soda which isn't as healthy as you might think).

Choose low calorie snacks like plain popcorn or fruits.

Make smart choices when it comes to your meals. Choosing wheat bread over white and grilled chicken instead of a greasy burger may sound simple enough, but it could be the difference between gaining weight or losing it.

Buy your food fresh from the local grocery store or farmers market.

Don't over eat. Only eat until you get full. Sometimes we eat because of stress from work, or just because there is food in front of us. Resist the temptation and reap the benefits on the scale!

Stay away from alcohol. If you must drink, stick with a dark beer. It's not as processes as other drinks. Vodka is also a slightly better choice then other alcohol because it contains less sugar. Stay away from rum.

About Daniella Conrad

My name is Daniella Conrad and I'm in the process of blogging my weight loss results. Read my story to see the problems I've had in the past and what I'm doing to lose my extra weight. I'll be adding to my blog as much as I can to keep track of my progress, both for myself and hopefully as an inspiration to others to do the same as well. I'm planning on posting some pics as I progress too, just to make things interesting!

Media Coverage

The benefits of Acai Berries explained by Dr Oz on Oprah. This is where I first heard about these amaizing acai berries.

Acai berries and their benefits are featured on Oprah, CBS, ABC, WSJ and NBC Today.

Breakthroughs In Health Magazine did a cover story on Acai as well.

Acai contains a concentration of antioxidants, to help combat premature aging, with 10-30 times the anthocyanins (antioxidants) of red wine. Acai has an almost-perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.""

6 Healthy Tips to Stay in Shape:

1. Portion control! There is no reason to pile food on your plate! Just take a reasonable amount, and you should be good! Overeating is a huge problem in America because we don't know when to stop!

2. Eat slowly. I know when you are really hungry that can be hard, but if you take time and chew everything slowly, you are less likely to overeat. How crazy is that? Just slow down, and enjoy the food.

3. If you don't like the food, don't eat it. I know that sounds silly, but we tend to just eat whatever is in front of us, whenever it is there. But if you only eat what you really like, that will also cut down on your food intake.

4. Don't park close to the store. I know everyone wants the "prime" parking places, but it won't kill you to walk the extra few hundred feet from the car to the store.

5. Switch it up! Don't eat the same thing every week. Variety is the spice of life, and trying new things is good for your digestion as well!

6. Eat as much fresh food as possible. I know its tough sometimes, but be sure you aren't always eating packaged food. They tend to have much higher amounts of sodium and other bad things for you.
