You are working out and you want to get the best benefit from your workout, and your healthy eating, so what else do you need to do? One of the things we often miss is adding vitamin supplements to our lives. There are different beliefs on vitamins. Some think they are a waste of times and others believe they are useful. I can only add my personal observation to this discussion on vitamins and weight supplements.
During my time of seeking better health, I learned somethings along the way. I realized this is a 3 part plan, nutrition & vitamin supplement, exercise and for some supplement and
accelerators. I started my journey with this saying, "insanity is doing the same thing, yet expecting different results." (unknown) If I wanted to get some different results I had to be willing to do things differently. I knew I needed to change my eating. I needed to shift to foods that were richer in vital nutrients, more fiber, less sugar and useless calories. I learned that foods that are considered low-glycemic are foods that don't cause my blood sugar levels to spike. When you eat low-glycemic foods your body is able to stay in the zone that burns these calories better. Foods like hot dogs, and other junk foods cause your blood sugar level to spike. If you eat fresh fruits and vegetables, brown rices and wheat pasta your blood sugar levels stay in the normal range and helps your body to burn calories better.
Nutrition: As I mentioned in an earlier post detoxing is important. I now live what I call a detox lifestyle, which means I make sure I am eating more raw fruits and vegetables with each meal. I also make sure I eat foods that are full of colors. For example, white foods strengthen the immune systems (like garlic). Green foods help to purify (broccoli and grapes). Red foods improve heath and blood health (tomatoes and pomegranates). Yellow foods help to fortify skin elasticity (lemons and yellow peppers). Purple foods help increase longevity (blue berries and egg plants).
Along with eating better, adding vitamin supplements can result in additional benefits to your pursuit of a healthy life. I have tried many vitamin supplements and some I have found better than others. Some of the store brand ones have caused me upset stomach so I couldn't use them for very long. I like the Market America brand Isotonix because they are powder form and they dissolve quickly in water. Vitamins that are administered in powder form get into your system faster and you receive more of the vitamin, less is lost in the digestive process. I purchased the vitamins separately, however it is much more economical and convenient to purchase them in the packet (pictured above).
I also utilize Omega III for these benefits:

The other thing I utilized for a period of time was TLS accelerators. I used them for a few months, CORE and CLA to help me as I made adjustment to fit into my current healthy lifestyle. (click on the TLS accelerator link above to see detailed information about the product). As a person on high blood pressure medicines I didn't want to take anything that would have any adverse outcome. I was able to use the CORE and the CLA without any problems. Again, they can help but you still have to do the work. Maybe you don't want to take any supplements, but feel more comfortable joining Jenny Craig or some other system. Then do it if it will help you reach your goal. The goal is to get healthy.

Healthy Eating
Healthy Lasagna
Sauce:
Fresh tomatoes
Spinach
celery
mushrooms
butternut squash
peppers
garlic cloves
olive oil
seasoning
organic ketchup and/or barbecue sauce
cheese (assorted based on your choice)
Lasagna noodles
Preparation: To create my sauce I used fresh tomatoes (depending on the amount of sauce you want will determine how many tomatoes you use. You can also add tomato sauce, puree or paste to supplement, or you can purchase jar sauces. I can't use them because they have dehydrated onions and I am allergic to onions). Cut your tomatoes into quarters. Add fresh garlic, salt & pepper and coat with olive oil. Put the tomatoes under the broiler and cook until slightly blackened. While your tomatoes are under the broiler, puree your butternut squash and set aside. Once your tomatoes are finished add your tomatoes along with the roasted garlic cloves and the oil from the tomatoes to your blender to puree. Add seasons, ketchup and/or barbecue sauce and blend until you have reached the taste you want. I would add small amounts of ketchup, barbecue sauce or tomato paste/sauce at at time. You can always add more as you need it.
Once your sauce is complete put it to the side. Take your vegetables, mushrooms, spinach, shredded carrots, peppers and celery and prepare them to be sauteed. Saute them slightly with some olive oil and season with vegetable seasoning or salt and pepper. Once they are complete, place them in a bowl and add the pureed butternut squash. Then add your pasta sauce to the vegetable mix. Taste and make sure it is the flavor you want. Begin preparing your lasagna. I use the no boil pasta to save time. If you use the noodles that need boiling, boil your pasta while your tomatoes are under the broiler. I begin by placing a small layer of sauce, then adding some cheese, on top of that a layer of noodles. Repeat these steps until you have completed the process. I like to use different types of cheeses because it gives your lasagna a richer taste. If you are using the no boil lasagna follow the direction on the pasta box. If so, you will need to make the sauce the last layer before you bake because the dish will need to back for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Once it is finished add a final layer of cheese and back into the oven until the cheese is completely melted. Once completed, serve with a salad. Enjoy! (view the video to see the pictures of the process).
