Insight of the Day November 6, 2013 - Quote by Robert A. Heinlein

How Lack of Sleep Affects Your Weight--and Your Health

It’s not just poor diet and lack of exercise that are making Americans fatter and sicker these days — there’s a third leg to the stool: sleep deprivation. Across the country, there are approximately 70 million people struggling to get a good night’s sleep. Some have trouble falling asleep, some can’t stay asleep, and for others it’s a combination of both. The causes can range from a lumpy mattress to a serious health condition like sleep apnea.

Lack of sleep is a huge stressor on the body and is associated with numerous physical and emotional problems, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, a weakened immune system, and depression. It can also affect your weight. People tend to weigh more when they sleep less.

Studies show that when you don’t get enough sleep it hinders your body’s ability to metabolize food properly. Lack of sleep interferes with the production of two important hormones, leptin and ghrelin, which help regulate your metabolism and hunger levels. Leptin is produced in your fat cells; it suppresses hunger and lets your brain know when your stomach is full. Ghrelin is produced in your stomach cells; its job is to stimulate your appetite, slow your metabolism, and decrease your body’s ability to burn fat (levels of ghrelin normally increase before meals and decrease afterward).

Olive Garden Fettuccini Alfredo Recipe

Olive Garden Fettuccine Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Serves 2
(a clever copycat recipe)

1 bag Skinny Dip Fettuccini
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Warning, this is NOT a low calorie dish! But for special occasions it's a delicious indulgence. Try adding grilled chicken or shrimp to boost the protein.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in cream cheese, cream and garlic powder until smooth. Simmer on low for 10 minutes stirring often. Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drain, rinse and boil noodles for 1 minute. Drain again very well and arrange on 2 plates. Top with Alfredo sauce and extra Parmesan if desired.

Tip: Knock down the calories with diet margarine and low fat cheeses.

Today look at the world with new eyes - article by Dr Robert Anthony

The ability and willingness to be teachable is an important aspect
of the higher Levels of Awareness. At the Victim and Struggle Level,
there is a lot of resistance to being told anything by anybody.

There is a tendency to respond with "I know that" or "I read that,
already!" Both of those statements are clues of defensiveness. In
addition, having read or heard a concept does not mean you are
actually practicing it action on a daily basis.

Being teachable means that you must start out with a "beginner
mind set" and a humble attitude. How easy is it for you to admit
that you don't know something? How often do you pretend or
exaggerate what you really know? Can you be humble without feeling
vulnerable?

We are all students of life. How often have you heard or read
something many times and finally one day you hear it in a new and
different way and finally it sinks in? We are never too old to
learn. Current longevity studies show that the more we are
committed to curiosity and learning, the longer we will live.

Today look at the world with beginner eyes and at the end of the
day spend a few moments reflecting on what you saw and what you
learned.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

Truly Caring for Your Success!
