At the start of a New Year, I have decided to take one month at a time to focus on natural wei/ght management, then nutrition & health alternately throughout the year. Please feel free to give me your feedback, successes, challenges, and questions. I always try to respond if I can.
So How Do You Change Your Weight Permanently?
Because millions of dollars are spent each year on weight loss products, you would think that there would be many people losing weight! On the contrary, 65% of all Americans are overweight and the numbers are rising, not decreasing. In order to understand how to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight balance, we must first understand why people are overweight. And if you understand why people are overweight, you can reverse it in a simple, natural and permanent way.
There are 3 basic reasons one becomes overweight:
1) Choice of foods. Foods that are refined and processed in any way lose nutrition and have added calories (extra fats, sugars). In other words, most foods people eat are low in nutrients and high in calories, so the wei/ght piles on naturally.
2) Choice of drink. A variety of drinks are often drunk throughout the day: milk, punch, soft drinks, juice, coffee, teas, cocoa, sport drinks, alcohol - the list goes on. Most of these are dehydrators, de-energizers, full of pollutants and lots of extra calories!
3) Lack of exercise. Our lifestyles today require little natural forms of exercise. We ride, not walk or bike to work or to shop, we ride elevators & lawnmowers, hire out forms of labor, and we look for ways to make life easier without hard work!
Now, there are 3 basic ways to reverse this pattern and lose weight naturally and permanently. It's simple, it's not expensive, it's not time consuming, and it will be permanent if you stick to the principles. However, one KEY factor must be clearly understood: If you want to make a permanent change in your weight, you must make a permanent change in your lifestyle!!!
Here are the 3 basic ways to make a permanent change in your weight:
1) Choose to eat Whole Foods (WF). Whole foods are not found in packages, boxes, or cans. Start by filling up on lots of raw or lightly steamed vegetables, raw fruits, cooked whole grain cereals, cooked beans, fresh cooked wild salmon (or other lean fish), and omit the processed foods from your diet. You will find the weight will come off naturally.
2) Choose to drink Pure Water (PW). Pure water is so needed for cleansing the body of any impurities and pollutants all the way to the cellular level. Drink lots of water each day and you will find an increase in energy more than you can imagine.
3) Daily Exercise (DE) is a must. Plan it like you do your meals - and plan to do it twice daily instead of once. For example, start out the day with stretching, weights & aerobics for a 30 minute session or more, then go on a walk or bike (to the store, the neighbors, etc.) in the afternoon or evening. Plan it, and follow through with it.
I will go through these 3 steps in detail in the next three weeks, so stay alert because these are simple success secrets will greatly benefit you. First memorize these 3 steps:
Whole Foods (WF), Pure Water (PW), Daily Exercise (DE)
WF, PW, DE! WF, PW, DE! WF, PW, DE!
To start the year off right, commit to attending a health retreat to "live the healthy lifestyle" for 3 days and learn how to continue that process at home. To get full details and register, go to http://erleentilton.com/retreats.htm
For your best health,

11 Tips to Losing Weight
Did you realize that the average woman gains 1 1/2 pounds a year during her adult life? That means women can gain over 40 pounds by the time she hits 50 years old! Women have to combat the roller coaster of hormones, muscle loss and stress that causes a slow down in her metobolism. This wieght gain is NOT inevitable. A proper exercise and diet plan can confront these issues.
My metabolism-boosting plan can help you lose weight while building firm, lean muscle tissue, which is the key to a robust metabolism. Subscribe to my monthly newsletter at www.askcoachb.com and receive coaching on how to live a better lifestyle. As soon as you start my program you will sleep better, have more energy, feel firmer, and notice your clothes fitting looser.
Here are 11 tips to get you started:
Eat Enough - Everyone knows you have to cut calories to lose weight. But did you know that if you cut too much you will actually gain more fat? Learn what and when to eat with my program.
Eat Breakfast - Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Learn why and what you should eat.
Drink Coffee or Tea - Learn why these drinks can help boost your metabolism to lose weight. But there is still a little more to it. See what that is in my program.
Fight Fat with Fiber - Do you know what foods have fiber? Do you know how much to eat of them? Do you know why fiber can fight fat?
Drink Water - There are many reasons to drink water. Did you realize it can help you lose as much as 5 pounds a year?
Go Organic - It's not just a fad. Scientific research has proven the benefits of eating organic.
Include Protein - Body builders eat a lot of protein to gain muscle mass. But did you know that there are significant benefits of eating protein to lose weight?
Eat Iron-rich Foods - Do you know why iron is important to the body? Learn what are excellent sources for getting this important nutrient.
Get More D - Only 4% of Americans over 50 take in enough vitamin D through their diet. What does this mean and how can you make sure you get enough?
Skip the Second Cocktail - You don't have to quit drinking altogether, just cut back. Learn how alcohol affects weight loss.
Drink Milk - Not just because the dairy association says so. But what about the fat?
These are the type of things you learn through my newsletter each month. You are not overloaded with too much information. Just enough information is given so that you can understand your choices and how they affect you. Taking in a little each month will make it easier for you to learn the proper way to eat.
There are also exercises that anyone can do anywhere with no special equipment. The cost of the newsletter for one month is less than what you probably spend on coffee each week. Get in now at my charter rate of only $9.95 per month. You will be locked in at that rate, even after I raise the price.

Your Cells Determine the Quality of Your Life!
The health of your body depends on the health of your cells. You have over 75 trillion cells in your body - the tiny powerhouses are what keep us energized and alive. Cells are the miniature factories that process the nourishment we need and cleanse what we do not need.
Everything is cellular. Your body's outer world is reflection of your inner world. Since cells are only 7 years old, it's important to strengthen and improve quality of cells at any age.
What do our cells need to survive? Where do we best get these?
1. oxygen - source of all energy in the body through EXERCISE
2. nutrition - minerals specifically as our cells communicate with them through FOODS
3. the ability to eliminate waste - cells don't like a polluted environment, and chlorine and fluoride kill cells - the body wants PURE WATER
What 3 things cause Poisons to build up in the bloodstream?
1. taking in more than can be eliminated - OVEREATING, even if it's good foods
2. eating toxic substances - PROCESSED FOODS, UNHEALTHY ANIMAL PRODUCTS, more
3. an overly acidic diet - HIGH IN MEAT, DAIRY, SUGAR, STARCHES - which allow microorganisms to grow (yeasts, mold, etc.) and multiply, adding to the toxicity.
To keep the cells and blood healthy, it all begins with diet! Diet is really key to great health, energy, longevity, and youthfulness!
Start the new year right by getting started with some great new tools for eating a better diet! Take advantage of the final last few days of savings this year by going now to my Healthy Lifestyle store: http://erleentilton.com/store.htm
Have a great New Year!

The Only One That Matters is YOU!
There are so many reasons that people go on diets or start an exercise program. They may want to look good for a vacation, family pictures, class reunion or any other event where they don't want to look "bad". Other reasons are because someone says something to them. It could be someone being mean or someone who means good. It could be a friend, a spouse or even your doctor.
Most, and I mean close to all, fail to accomplish their goal or stay at the proper weight. It is because they are not doing it for the most important reason. YOU!
You have to want to do it for yourself, not for someone else. If you want it, you can do it properly and stay with it. This is the number one reason why people who have become successful at maintaining a healthy weight stay there with little to no trouble.
A case in point is from the show "The Biggest Loser" which just ended the season a couple of days ago. A couple of weeks back, one of the trainers (Bob) was trying to explain to one of the women that she needs to want to lose the weight for herself, not just to win the game. He used the first season winner as an example. That person was so intent on 'playing the game' that when he left the show, he didn't know what to do. He gained all of the weight he had lost plus!
To add more to this point, the woman who won was not concerned with the game. Her first priority was to repair her relationship with her mother. She accomplished that and realized that as they got deeper into the season. Her second focus was on losing the weight. This became her only focus after her mother was voted off. She wanted to feel better about herself. The result was that she lost almost half her body weight. The women who was so intent on winning the game came in third.
Bottom line, look deep down inside. If you are overweight you know you have some problems. Look to find what causes you to eat poorly. Don't say that you are happy with yourself if you are overweight to obese. You are lying to yourself and anyone else you say this to. But that doesn't matter. You need to want to get healthy for yourself.
Once you have decided this, act on it. My monthly newsletter will be available next week. It will guide you to a better and happier lifestyle. It is going to be an easy transition. No diets, bland or complicated foods. No spending hours in gyms or running miles and miles. It will become second nature and you will wonder why you didn't do this before.
Stay tuned to this blog for the release of my web site.

Weight Watchers is Finally Getting It!
I always let everyone know that I don't believe in diets. So why would I be writing about Weight Watchers?
The answer is simple. They finally woke up and realized I am right! It has been on the news here more than once that Weight Watchers is changing their program. Not a little change, but a major overhaul. They are changing the program to advocate a healthy lifestyle.
Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach Diet and countless others all claim that you will lose a lot of weight over a short period of time. If you stick with the program and follow exactly what they say to do, you will. I have never disputed that people lose weight.
The problem with diets is that they are too restrictive. Plus, when someone says "I am going on a diet", it indicates that some day they will be off the diet. And they will. They will also gain back all the weight they lost plus a few extra pounds.
This is because it is designed for short term results. A better approach is what I have advocated. Learn to live healthier. In other words, develope a healthy lifestyle. This is done gradually over time. You need to unlearn bad habits and replace them with good ones. Unless you know what to look for, you need to have a lifestyle coach.
I am not sure exactly how Weight Watchers intends to run their program. They are not releasing the details until the new year. But what I can pretty much guess is that it is going to cost a few bucks! They have a lot of overhead to cover. They are releasing this because they want to increase revenues.
Your alternative. Go with my program. I have been coaching healthy lifestyles for a long time now. It is not an experiment. It is also not a way to "get rich". Anyone who knows me understands that I have a passion for helping people. That is why I am going to be unveiling my newsletter within the next couple of weeks. It will teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle simply. It does not have to be hard.
Keep following this blog. Shortly I will reveal a charter member price and some free bonuses for subscribing to my newsletter. The web site is almost complete and when it is done, my blog followers will have the first opportunity to get in to this program that will change your life forever.

Gain 10 Pounds Over the Holidays
Well, another major "eating" holiday down and three more weeks of parties, treats, and another "eating" holiday. You see it many times about diet tips and to eat this and try that. The problem is that trying these tips is just like trying a new diet. It is hard to do!
If you don't already live a healthy lifestyle, my tip to you would be to spend the next three weeks looking into how you can start one. This is contrary to what most trainers and diet gurus will tell you. That is becasue they want your business and they want it NOW!
On Thanksgiving Day most Americans consume 3,000 calories on average for one meal. That is more than most people should consume in a single day! There are ways to cut back but it is about learning how over time. Not overnight.
Another statistic shows that the average weight gain over the holiday season (Christmas season) is 10 pounds. That is a lot for that short of period. However, if you try the recommended tips and tricks from the gurus before you are ready or before you know why, you will probably give up quickly and end up gaining more than 10 pounds.
My recommendation is to enjoy the holidays. I want you to suceed in making a positive change to your life. Make a New Years resolution to live a healthier lifestyle. Then sign up for my monthly newsletter and I will coach you from month-to-month on the best way to accomplish this so that you do reach your goals.
My program is not a lose weight fast gimmick. Losing weight too fast is not good for the body and in order to achieve rapid weight lose requires great sacrifice. Then when it is over you still have not learned how to live healthier on a daily basis so you will gain all of the weight back plus several more pounds.
Keep checking back to this blog each week. I will have my web site up with all the details in about 2 to 4 weeks. I am going to be offering charter memberships and special bonuses. Until then, enjoy your family and friends.
