MY PERSONAL VEGAN SMART CHALLENGE THIS SUMMER! I FELT REALLY EMPOWERED!!

Laura Dellutri Dishes About the 21-Day VeganSmart Challenge
 

Need some motivation to get started with the the 21-Day VeganSmart Eat Smart Cleanse? Laura Dellutri, Home and  Life Style Expert , gives us some inspiration by sharing how magnificent and empowered she feels by doing the VeganSmart Challenge.



Being a triathlete and a cyclist, good health and nutrition is of utmost importance to Laura who began the VeganSmart Cleanse on July 7th after the holiday celebrations fizzled out. Laura was training for a triathlon, and wanted to do the challenge because it was time for a change and she wanted to do something to really benefit her body.


After eating vegan, Laura has felt more energetic, empowered, lighter, and healthier. After meals she is totally full and satisfied without feeling bloated or like she overate. VeganSmart allows for portion control and makes Laura’s stomach feel full faster than other foods she has eaten in the past.
When asked if Laura has cravings for non-vegan food, such as pizza or ice cream, her response was simply no. Laura gives credit to the lemon blast drink or coconut water for curbing any slight cravings that may sneak up. She did mention salt cravings after cycling, but she quickly found that craving to be satisfied by a handful of nuts or sunflower seeds.
To replenish her muscles after cycling, Laura’s first stop is grabbing VeganSmart protein powder. Chocolate is her flavor of choice and she loves it because it never makes her feel bloated and doesn’t cause bad breath, which she has experienced with other protein powders. The amount of protein packed in VeganSmart powder impressed Laura as well.
Participating the in VeganSmart 21-Day Cleanse is an empowering and encouraging lifestyle choice. It is difficult to control many things in our busy lives, such stress at work or at home. By doing the VeganSmart Challenge, you are truly in control of what you are putting in your body, which is “clean,” non-processed foods, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, and seeds.
Are You Vegan Curious? Here is some more information about what veganism is all about!

Multitasking Millennial Mom Spring Cleaning Hacks!




Multitasking Millennial Mom Spring Cleaning Hacks               


 

By Laura Dellutri

 

Spring Cleaning?  How can you fit that in your busy life? Here's the secret.... Multi-tasking by minutes.  You do it every day of your life.   Think about it, you feed the baby, while you read Buzz Feed while holding your 3 year old who is playing Angry birds on your smartphone, while you are eating a sandwich.  4 tasks in less than a minute!  You are savvy, and part of the best multi-tasking generation ever.  You can Spring Clean your home by incorporating cleaning minutes into your daily multi-tasking routines.

Gone are the days of all day Spring Cleaning. Don't feel pressed to meet Mom's or Grandma's expectations. It's your home, your world, and it is totally different than theirs was. Do what you can, when you can.  Stand at the front door and look at your home visually.  How does it look? Does it smell odor free?  Get those two things under control and you will appear domesticated and spiffy to guests. 

 

Look at it like you are shopping on Amazon for an Iron Man Mask for your Super Hero. You can do that whole transaction in less than 5 minutes.  That's all you need is 5 minutes and your house will become magically cleaned in small increments by multi-tasking.  

 

If you have been feeling pressed about cleaning, incorporate these tips in your multi-tasking day and be sure to SHARE me with all your social media friends!

5 EVERYDAY TIPS TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

 Your  2015 Weight Resolutions... 

 
 
It's Jan 27, 2015 and that is just about 4 weeks into the year, a time to take stock and reflect on our New Year's resolutions.   Was your resolution losing weight?  How is that going? I keep losing 4 pounds and gaining 3 pounds back.  It's time to get serious and keep it off.  Going to restaurants for dinner or on the road, is causing me to stumble.  The menu and I, we just don't work together on healthy choices.  FRENCH FRIES is the only thing I see on the menu.  The healthy items bore me, and I skim right over them when it comes to dinner choices.

 If you are struggling too, and need some extra motivation to take off that next 5 pounds, try these tips!   
 
Here are my top 5 tips to help you love your scale and not hate it!
 
1.  Eat your largest meal before 2 PM.  After that stave off hunger with 100 calorie options like fruit, veggies and yogurt.  Give your body less, as your metabolism slows down at night.
 
2.    Keep your portions the size of your palm.  Yes, less is best.  One pound is 3500 calories. Do the math.
 
3.  Drink 8 glasses of water a day.  Yes, 8.

4.  Exercise, exercise, exercise!  Start a new fitness routine, increase endurance and move forward with a goal of being fit for life. Stay off the couch for hours, if you must watch TV, do it while you are lifting weights, riding a stationary bike, or doing sit ups.

5. Self Talk yourself up!  You are a champion, tell yourself that over and over again when you feel like quitting.  Rebuke your negative thinking, let nothing stop you, not even you.    

PS. And, I am staying out of restaurants that serve French fries!
