Whiffits Diet Enhancers




Before I got pregnant with Noah, I was very skinny.  I may have been a little underweight.  During my pregnancy I gained a whopping fifty pounds.  I was huge; my family would poke fun at my size because I used to be so skinny.  I know they were doing it lovingly, my aunt even commented I finally had a chest.  Now that Noah is six and a half and I am still a little overweight I am self conscious about it. I am sure everyone thinks that I am probably fine, but I would love to lose around fifteen pounds.  My problem is I tend to eat too much. I work from home so I am always eating something. It’s harder when you are at home all day and you have easy access to food all the time.  I guess the term is grazer, but I graze all the time. I learned about a product called Whiffits. It looks really cool because you use your nose to curb your appetite.

Whiffits™ is a unique non-invasive diet enhancer that comes in the form of scented wands. Embedded in each wand is one of three specifically designed scents proven to assist any diet plan you might be implementing into your lifestyle. Many diets can be effective, but the urge to eat fatty and unhealthy foods that you've been deprived from for so long can be overwhelming and counterproductive. That said, just a few sniffs throughout the day releases a unique combination of aroma molecules that trick your brain into thinking you've eaten. The end result: you eat less, save money by not buying food you don't need, and the pounds drop off.

Whiffits™ is for real. The effectiveness of Whiffits has been proven through clinical studies, showing a significant decrease in food cravings and noticeable weight loss. This method has been proven to be successful on its own, but combining it with a diet and healthy lifestyle will only expedite the process further.

The official BioTem Clinical Report confirms the effectiveness of the revolutionary new diet wand with average weight loss of 19 lbs per participant over the course of the study. The study subjects reported an impressive 50% decrease in food cravings within 5 minutes of inhaling the special diet wand aromas. Directly from BioTem's official Clinical Report – "This study conclusively proves that inhaling these specially developed scents in the diet pens results in weight loss without any conscious changes in diet or exercise." Another study – The Role of Specific Olfactory Stimulation in Appetite Suppression and Weight Loss compiled by the Division of BioTem Cytotechnologies– also confirms this information.

"One method which seems promising is the role of olfaction in weight regulation. Specifically, the inhalation of positive hedonic (pleasant smelling) scents has been shown to have beneficial effects on appetite and hunger regulation. This idea stems from everyday observations of how food aromas affect appetite and from clinical observations of how patients with acute anosmia often gain weight. These observations suggest a breakdown in an olfactory satiety feedback mechanism. Also, there are scientific EEG and brain mapping studies documenting the effects of the inhalation of particular food scents on brain wave activity."

I know with Whiffits I would be able to stop eating all day and lose weight in the process. It’s easy, its painless and only takes a moment and I will not have the urge to pig out during the day anymore.

Connect 2 Happiness with GaiamTV in 2013



I want to share with you what happiness means to me. It means spending time with my family and friends. Even if I can’t physically be with them, just talking to them makes me happy. My happy place would probably be the beach on a hot day with my son watching him play in the sand or us in the water.  I haven’t always been the most positive person in the past but I am really trying to think happy thoughts. A good way to help me remember to be happy is to use tools to encourage myself to watch videos and learn from others.

A lot of times we look to other things to make us happy, a raise at work, getting something new but really you can just be and be happy.  I think that I can find happiness in any situation and that it is my attitude that really controls my happiness and that I am control of it. I definitely feel that this will help enrich my life and I will start making sometime to practice what I learn. I will also share these exercises with friends and family.

How Safe is Your Water?


If you drink water straight from the tap, you may want to consider installing a whole-house water filter. Our public tap water supplies often contain tons of gross and unhealthy chemicals that can reach you and your family. In fact, there are said to be 35,000 pesticides containing 600 chemical compounds in various water supplies. Some of you may already know of certain chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride, but other toxins in your water may shock you.

In some areas, there are things like arsenic and methane gas found in the water. Chemical fertilizers used for farming and various pharmaceutical drugs are also commonly detected in public water. Although you may not taste it, these chemicals could possibly be in your tap water. The negative effects of bad water are very noticeable, even if you don’t know the cause. They can cause problems such as nerve damage, birth defects, and cancers. You certainly don’t want your little ones drinking this stuff!

It’s not healthy to shower or cook with impure water either. When you shower in water with water filled with chlorine, you may develop unpleasant symptoms such as migraines and irritated eyes and skin. You also increase the chance of long-term problems like pelvic or bladder cancer. When you cook with tap water you might think that you are eliminating unhealthy toxins, but this is not always the case. Certain chemicals can survive the heat and remain in your food. You don’t want your family drinking and eating dangerous chemicals.               
                                                                                                                                   Installing a whole house water filter will filter the water throughout your entire home.

To prevent these nasty ingredients from entering your household and affecting the health of you and your children, you may want to install a whole-house water filtration system. PuriTeam filters will provide your family with healthy, clean water free of chemicals and toxins. You not only remove the negative content when you drink your water, but when you shower and cook with it as well. When you install the system, you will have clean water throughout every water supply in your household. If the health of you and your family is a priority to you and your family,and learn more about the benefits of a water filtration system.

Does You Baby Need to Diet?

I try to watch the news at least once a day so I know what is going on in the world. Usually it is at 5 pm. Lately there have been stories about parents putting their babies, yes babies on diets. They are afraid that they will be obese. I personally think that is sick. Babies don’t need to be on diets. They are babies.
 If you knew me when I was a baby, I was huge. I was a chubby little toddler too. I will post a picture of me so you can see how big I was. I ended up being normal or maybe a little too skinny. I think it is wrong to put your baby on a diet. I am not sure exactly how that would even work? Cut out formula or breast milk the child needs for nutrients? Limit their strained pears or peas? Cut out Cheerios and goldfish?

Seriously, babies don’t have huge stomachs. Do they strap them to baby sized treadmills and make them sweat to the nursery rhymes? Then that would cause the baby to be malnourished. What happened to the time where everyone wanted big healthy babies? Now even babies are being a victim of the size matters mentality. Is this healthy to our children’s self esteem, telling them that they are fat and need to diet?

I know that it is unhealthy to sit around and eat candy all day, and eat a lot of fast food. The parents make that choice they are the ones that are in control of what their child eats. I think that treats and fast food are fine in moderation. I would never put my child on a diet for weight loss issues. If it were a medical diet then sure, I am going to do what is best for my child. The baby diet is ridiculous and I am not sure why anyone would subject their child to that. I do believe in teaching about healthy eating and understanding about moderation. If my child had his way he would eat candy all day and Rice Krispy treats all night. It is my job as his mom to say no, you can have a little bit of candy and one Rice Krispy treat. I feed my child HFCS sometimes. I let him eat fries from Mc Donald’s. I do these things in moderation.
