Track Your Weight and Your Health with the Ozeri Touch Total Body Bath Scale

December 2, 2015 by Kathryn 2 Comments

Over the last few months, I’ve found that my weight has been creeping up bit by bit and it’s a trend that I’m committed to stopping. But while I do want to lose that infamous “extra ten pounds,” I want to do it in a healthy way. I know the number on the scale provides me with one piece of information about my current health, but I wanted more. That’s why I couldn’t wait to trade my old scale for the Ozeri Touch 440 lbs. Total Body Bath Scale!

This digital scale does tell me my weight, as any scale does. But with a quick setup and the help of some advanced algorithms, it also tells me my body fat, muscle, bone mass and hydration level. I simply have to input my gender, height and age, then step on the scale and get the information I need to help track the progress of healthy living! [Read more…]

Improving My Health Naturally With a FitTea Review #FitTea

June 23, 2015 by Kathryn 13 Comments

While I’m pretty happy with my body overall, I’m always interested in finding new ways to tone up a little more, burn extra fat and improve my general health. And when I can find an easy and fun way to do that, I’m even happier. I’d heard of FitTea products before and I always thought the company’s tagline “Give us a few weeks and we’ll give you a new waistline” sounded intriguing. An all-natural tea that helped promote fat burning and boost immunity sounded like a dream come true to me and since there’s nothing I love more than a soothing cup of tea, I couldn’t help but want to give the product a try. Recently I had the chance to do just that with a FitTea review about how this tea worked for me.

Initially I thought that the FitTea I had been sent was a loose-leaf product, but when I opened the bag I realized it was even better. Traditional tea bags just aren’t the best choice for extracting the maximum flavour and health benefits from tea leaves and while loose-leaf tea is delicious, it’s also a little fussy to make since having a tea ball at the ready is a must. FitTea solves the problem by using large silk pouches, keeping the tea in its proper loose leaf form and allowing proper steeping while still being quick and simple to use. For those that prefer the traditional method, however, a loose-leaf variety is also available. [Read more…]

Experience the Meta Effect with Metamucil and Recipes from Harley Pasternak-Giveaway

June 22, 2015 by Kathryn 196 Comments

Despite the hustle and bustle of being a busy mom, I manage to live a pretty healthy lifestyle. I walk every day, I try to avoid processed food and I eat lots of lean protein and produce. But even so, I sometimes have issues getting all the nutrients my body needs. And one of my biggest challenges is getting enough fibre.

I’m a big believer in the importance of fibre in the diet. When I get a proper amount, I have more energy, my digestion improves and I even feel lighter. But there are days when reaching the recommended 25g of daily fibre feels almost impossible. That’s why I’m taking a tip from celebrity trainer and nutritionist Harley Pasternak and experiencing the Meta Effect by adding Metamucil to my daily routine!

I am a huge believer in the importance of probiotics, but finding the most effective variety can be incredibly confusing. So many different probiotic formulations promise amazing benefits and I end up not knowing which one is the best choice for me. But when Whole Body Research offered me the chance to try its new Keybiotics dietary supplement, I knew right away that it was a product I was going to love.

The high quality of the company’s products and the fact that all of its supplements are tested for purity by independent third-party labs was why I was sure the new Keybiotics supplement was going to be a winner. And I wasn’t disappointed.

August 17, 2012 by Kathryn 90 Comments

After I stopped nursing Benjamin, I noticed a bunch of changes in my body as my hormones returned to normal after six years of pregnancy and breastfeeding. My hair felt a little coarser. My skin seemed to get damaged easily. And, most annoyingly, I started to put on a bit of weight.

webber naturals pgx daily My weight isn’t usually something I worry too much about, but I weaned my son in the winter so I also wasn’t getting the physical activity that I usually did. The combination of circumstances led not just to some extra pounds but also to a loss of energy, intense late-night sugar cravings and an overall feeling of “blah.” I hoped that the nice weather would bring a change but even when spring arrive and I was getting out of the house more, I still wasn’t feeling like my usual self.

Fortunately, that’s when Webber Naturals got in touch with me about trying PGX, an all-natural supplement that helps stop food cravings, reduce appetite and provide a lasting feeling of fullness. It sounded like it might be just what I needed to get rid of my extra weight and get my energy back so I was excited to learn more.

August 1, 2012 by Kathryn 46 Comments

Is it really any wonder that diets don’t usually work? Don’t eat this, eat more of this, don’t eat at this time, always eat at this time, write down what you eat, count your carbs, keep track of your calories…honestly, what person could or would want to keep up a system like that forever?

That’s why I was intrigued when I heard about the Swap & Drop Diet from Best Health magazine. Created to give Canadians a sensible plan for living better and feeling great, it sounded like a diet that could actually be maintained. I received a copy of the book so that I could see for myself what it was like.

The Swap & Drop Diet approaches healthy eating with a great week-by-week plan that lets women ease into a healthier lifestyle. I really appreciated the way that the diet introduced a new challenge to focus on each week. From eating breakfast every day to mastering some simple stress relief techniques, the goals were simple and effective tools to overall better health. [Read more…]
