Introduction
The world moves at a faster pace than it used to. With technology, things happen instantly and therefore, more things seem to happen all at once.
At work, this or that needs done while somebody else needs our help.
A stay at home parent has to juggle taking children to school, sports, helping with homework and keeping up a house.
By the time things have slowed down, we are exhausted, out of energy and out of time. The day has gone by quickly and tomorrow is almost here.
Many of us want to be healthier but our social life, our home life or our job takes up so much time that we end up eating convenience food or hitting up a drive through.
Although both choices may be convenient, they are far from healthy and it gets frustrating to watch your waistline expand, even if you are not eating that much food.
With busy schedules, we sometimes feel stuck in this cycle and breaking out of it is hard to do. That is where we come in.
By picking up this book, you are ready to end the cycle. You are willing to make changes to your lifestyle that will help you look and feel better, without taking up a lot of extra time or costing a lot of money.
Eating healthy does not mean hours of prep work in the kitchen, nor does it mean following complicated meal plans that require extra shopping and specialty foods.
You can fit healthy and filling meals into your busy day. You can fit exercise into your schedule and we will show you how.
Gone are the days of starvation diets, because we believe that the only way to get healthy is by making changes to your diet and your lifestyle in such a way that your body gets what it needs, from the inside out and thus, the changes will be easier for you to maintain.
No more fad diets, yo-yo diets, or trendy celebrity diets that leave you listless so hungry that you end up binging in the middle of the night.
Our plan consists of easy changes, where you can still indulge in your favorites in moderation, eat tasty and filling foods, and still lose weight!
You will be able to do this without buying an expensive gym membership, or having to devote hours and hours to exercise. We can show you how to add basic fitness moves into your daily routine to help boost your weight loss.
It is possible to lose weight and feel great while doing so. This book is your beginning to a better, healthier lifestyle!
Healthy Bodies Begin With Healthy Minds
Our minds and our bodies are connected so when one is not feeling good, the other one will also not be performing as well as it could be.

You have picked up this book because you have a hectic lifestyle and want to lose weight and be healthier but you have not got a lot of time.
When our lives are hectic and frantic, it causes stress.
Stress is a factor in weight gain, which is probably something that you were not aware of.
Weight loss or gain is not always as simple as calorie intake and calorie burning, other things can factor in, such as certain lifestyle habits, genetics and stress.
When we feel stressed, our bodies respond by releasing hormones into our system that prepares us to handle the stressful situation by releasing the same things into our bodies that would be released into our systems if we were in a dangerous situation.
To our bodies, being in danger and stress are the same thing. When in danger, the hormones released are meant to bring about short term changes to our bodies that will help us survive.
The changes are not meant to be there for any longer than necessary, but when we are stressed but the changes are not short term, they stay with us. This is why chronic stress is so dangerous to our health in many ways, one of which is weight gain.
Stress causes our bodies to release cortisol, a hormone, which can slow down your metabolism in large amounts.
With prolonged stress, your body will continue to produce this hormone, which makes losing weight even more of a challenge.
This is a hormone, which is meant to be released short-term but stress causes the continual production of cortisol.
Stress will also have adverse effects on your blood sugar levels and contributes to the storage of abdominal fat, which is the fat that has the
