When it comes to making healthy smoothies it isn’t that hard once you know the basic process and proper ingredients to use. There are still common smoothie mistakes that people do when making healthy smoothies, especially if they are trying to lose weight. Avoid these mistakes and become a smoothie master ! 1. Not Enough Fiber Fiber is what helps you to feel full and prevents hunger pangs from taking hold. Without any fiber, you risk eating unhealthy snacking throughout the day. Yes, fruit does contain fiber, but not all are great. For example 1/2 a banana only contains 1.4 g of fiber in it. Instead of a banana use berries, kiwi, pear or avocado. As for vegetables try switching up spinach with some kale. Kale contains twice as much fiber as spinach. It is recommended that women need 25 grams and men need 38 grams of fiber per day vs. the typical adult only gets 15 grams per day. You can also add in fiber rich foods to your smoothie like oats, yogurt, flaxseed or our favorite Chia seeds. Did you know that Chia seeds have an amazing 5.5 grams of fiber per tablespoon ? 2. Lacking Protein If you want to avoid snacking during the day include at least 10 g of protein in your smoothie. You can, of course add some protein powder but some people want natural protein for their smoothies. You can get protein from the liquid you us in smoothies like soy milk or dairy milk. If you are using water for your smoothie liquid then some great sources of proteins for your smoothies are: nuts, nut butters, coconut milk, oats, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds or Greek yogurt. 3. Including Too Much Fruit Yes, fruit contains plenty of nutrients and fiber, but they also contain a lot of calories. If you are not careful you could consume 500 calories without realizing it. Fruit also contains a lot of natural sugar that your body metabolizes fast. Within the hour you could start to feel hungry once more. Make sure that along with the fruit you add some form of protein. 4. Adding More Sweetener Including a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey in your smoothie adds another 60 calories. With the right recipe you should get enough sweetness with the fruit or flavorings used. For sweetness you can try adding raisins, dates, or prunes to your smoothie. Also consider spices to add some taste like cinnamon, all spice, or nutmeg. When starting out on a smoothie detox, it will take a couple days for your body to adjust the the lack of sugar but stick with it. 5. Not Measuring We all too often just put things in without weighing them out first but by doing this you are actually going to end up eating more calories that you need. Don’t forget that any calories that you don’t burn get stored as fat. 6. Forgetting To Add The Greens Not only are greens easy to prepare but they taste great. Green smoothies are packed with important nutrients and are the easiest way to increase your daily vegetable intake. You can, of course, add some green powder to your smoothie but you’ll get far more nutrients by adding fresh greens like kale, spinach or watercress. Did you know that watercress is the most nutrient dense food ? When making a smoothie, try to have at least 1/3 of the ingredients(by size) be green vegetables. Spinach works great in smoothies because it has a mild taste and is packed with vitamins. 7. Using The Same Ingredients Every Day By mixing it up you are making sure that your body gets all the nutrients it needs. Also, rotating your leafy greens can help prevent alkaline buildup. Changing things around ensures that you stick to your new regime better. If you stick to the same thing you soon become bored. TIP – Have a core group of green smoothie recipes that you like and rotate through those during the week. This will provide some variety and allow you to use the same ingredients multiple times during the week so no perishable groceries go to waste. 8. Not Adding Any Liquid Many people new to smoothies do not use enough liquid when making a smoothie. This causes the ingredients to be lumpy and can burn out your blender. Most will suggest you add water, but adding any liquid is okay. Just stay away from using store-bought fruit juices that are full of sweeteners and preservatives. The best measure for the correct amount of liquid is to have a “vortex” in the middle of the smoothie when it is blending. 9. Not Buying Good Quality Produce When it comes to buying produce make sure that you go for organic as much as possible. If you can’t afford to buy all organic, at least consider substituting organic for fruits and vegetables that are known to have the most pesticides. This way you won’t be consuming chemicals that could prove detrimental to your health. Even if you buy organic you still need to wash all the produce before you use it. 10. Forget To Read The Labels Look at the labels on the milk or liquid you are going to be using. If you are not careful you may be adding more sugar into your diet. This is especially true if you use a milk alternative like rice milk, almond milk, or soy milk that can have versions that are sweetened or flavored. Also, some brands may contain certain preservatives or coloring agents. Any of these can prove detrimental to your health and weight loss goals. It is amazing how many more calories these can add to your smoothie. Click on the link and learn more:https://bit.ly/3zpWlRY

Dogs & Poppies To Eliminate Bad Behavior- Is your dog giving you deaf ears? When this happens, avoid repeating the command over and over and imposing yourself until you get a response; instead, take a step back and consider the following scenarios which are some of the most common issues encountered when training dogs. 1) Low Value Treats: Are Your Treats Worth Working For? It’s a romantic and hard to debunk myth that dogs work for us just to please us. In reality, as opportunistic beings, dogs are most likely thinking “what’s in it for me?” according to the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). The right use of treats can really make the difference between a dog who is eager to work and one who couldn’t care less. The use of low-value treats (such as kibble) can be detrimental if your dog isn’t excited by them, especially during the initial stages of learning or when there are distractions around, so make sure your treats are worthy of attention. Also remember to stick to treats which are soft, smelly, and in small bite-sized pieces. This allows your dog to quickly gobble up the reward and focus his attention back on you, rather than being distracted by a longer-lasting treat. A suggestion? Try to use what respected veterinarian, trainer and writer Dr. Ian Dunbar calls the Ferrari of dog treats: Freeze-dried liver. 2) Low Rate of Reinforcement: Are You Missing Out on Rewarding? In the initial stages of learning or when there are lots of distractions around, your dog may find sniffing the grass, looking around, marking territory and pulling on the leash more rewarding than training. Why is that? It’s probably because there are stimuli that are extra interesting and are worth paying more attention to. If your dog has received little training in the past, he may have been doing this for a good part of his life. Increasing the rate of reinforcement during this time by giving your dog more treats for his training efforts may help to motivate him, and will teach him to pay more attention to you than to the distracting environmental stimuli. A low rate of reinforcement can also cause your dog to get frustrated and give up trying; remember, during the initial stages of learning you need a continuous rate of reinforcement (giving rewards for every success), and only once your dog shows signs of responding well can you move on to a variable schedule (only giving treats for success every now and then). 3) High Criteria: Are You Asking Too Much at Once? This is where the saying “be a splitter and not a lumper” comes into play. It is often tempting to try to teach new behaviors all at once in a single evening. When your dog stops working for you, you start thinking: “Am I asking for too much at once?” Truth is, often when dogs fail to respond to a command it is because it is too hard for them. So try not to ramp up the difficulty too quickly; rather, break the objective down into several attainable steps to help your dog succeed. As an example, if you were trying to train your dog to touch the tip of a target stick with his nose, you could reward him for touching ANY part of the stick at first. Over time once your dog gets a hang of this, you could then move on to rewarding him only for touching the rounded tip at the top of the stick. Try your best to prevent your dog’s progress from stalling, and do not make your training sessions too long – keep them short and sweet! 4) High Level of Distractions: Is there too Much Going on? Dogs learn best when there are little to no distractions around, so be sure to start your training sessions in a quiet room where there is not much going on. Once your dog is able to perform the behavior in the quiet room, build from there and gradually start asking your dog to perform the behavior in a noisier room. Then, progress to the yard, a busy street, the dog park and so forth. If you start on a busy street or at the dog park right away, your dog may not respond because you have not yet built a foundation for the behavior. 5) Lack of Training: Has Your Dog Ever Been Trained Before? If the handler has a history of being inconsistent and not following through with the dog, there’s a chance the dog may have learned he could get away from certain behaviors and has learned to ignore the handler. Dogs who have never been trained and have been allowed to do as they please for a good part of their lives often find the initial stages of learning difficult, since the concept is entirely new to them. It is up to the handler to become interesting and worth listening to by investing in reward-based training methods, like the ones taught in Adrienne Farricelli’s Brain Training for Dogs course. 6) Unclear Cues: Are You Confusing Your Dog? Dogs thrive on consistency, so make sure you always use the same command cue and that all other people training the dog are on the same page. If you ask for a command and your dog just stares at you, consider if that command has a history of being used consistently. In classes, it is not uncommon to encounter a family where the wife uses “come” to call the dog, the husband uses the dog’s name, and the kids just say “here!” Don’t ask for behaviors in multiple ways, and make sure your body language is congruent with the verbal command. Dogs find body language more salient then verbal cues. Also, try your best not to repeat commands over and over, otherwise your dog will learn not to listen to the first time you say it, but will wait for you to finish your sentence instead! 7) Frustration Buildup: Are you Getting Frustrated? Dogs are masters in body language and they can easily detect frustration. When the handler’s frustration builds up, dogs often shut down instead of becoming more compliant. In this case, it helps to ask the dog for a behavior he knows well (such as a sit) followed by a reward to end the session on a positive note. You can try the exercise again a little bit later, possibly further splitting the exercise into smaller sections if it was too hard for your dog. Also, keep in mind that if you start raising your voice, bending down or getting into your dog’s face, you are intimidating him dog and he will feel the need to send you appeasement signals and default behaviors, rather than listening to your commands. 8) Emotional Problems: Are Emotions Getting in the Way? If a dog is fearful, anxious or nervous, his emotional state may interfere with training. This is because the dog is often in a fight or flight state which affects his cognitive function, impairing his ability to learn. In such a case, you may need to work in areas where your dog is less likely to be frightened and then gradually introduce more and more stimuli in a way which does not cause him to react. As an example, if your dog was frightened of thunder, instead of immediately exposing him to recordings of thunderstorms on full volume, you should first play them at a very low volume, where he acknowledges the sound but does not become scared. After rewarding your dog while the sound is played, you would, over time and numerous training sessions, increase the volume at which you play the recording. This process is known as desensitization and is a common technique used in dog training. 9) Health Considerations: Is Your Dog in Pain or Uncomfortable? If your dog ignores you, he may be feeling unwell or uncomfortable. If your dog has always been obedient and is now slacking off, it is best to have your veterinarian rule out any medical problems. Sloppy sits or a reluctance to lay down may be indicative of orthopedic problems. Aside from medical problems, some dogs may not like to be trained on certain surfaces, or perhaps the weather is too hot, too windy or too cold – there are a multitude of possibilities. Often, a distracted dog may simply need to relieve himself or get a drink of water. Consider how well you could perform in an exam if you were busting to use the bathroom! 10) Are You Forgetting to Brain Train Your Dog? Many owners are not aware of this, but when it comes to dogs, idle minds are the devil’s workshop. Yet many owners are happy to leave their dogs bored by the fireplace all day, leading to untold behavior problems. The simple secret to a well-trained dog is engaging their mind and getting them thinking. In the wild, before domestication, dogs would spend much of their lives performing tasks necessary for survival. Even in more modern history, dogs had special roles to perform in their relationships with humans. You can still see these natural drives in dogs today! For example, you will notice how beagles love to follow scents, how some terrier breeds love to dig, and how treeing coonhounds bark upon noticing prey up a tree. Unlike humans who perhaps dread the 9 to 5 grind, dogs actively WANT to work, and when they do not, they become prone to behavior problems, disobedience, and poor psychological well-being. Many owners spend THOUSANDS on dog training when the solution could be as simple as providing Rover with more mental stimulation! Fortunately, Brain Training for Dogs offers a solution to this problem. Written by professionally certified trainer Adrienne Farricelli CPDT-KA (who’s work has appeared in USA Today, Everydog Magazine, Nest Pets and more), Brain Training for Dogs is one of the first training programs to not only teach obedience, better behavior, important skills and tricks, but to also work on increasing intelligence and engaging the dog’s brain too. Through 21 fun and simple games, the novel and scientifically-proven methods taught by Adrienne are sure to improve the lives of both you and your dog! By the end of Brain Training for Dogs your dog will be able to tidy up his toys, play the piano (yes, really), and identify his toys by name – all while being a better behaved and more obedient dog.

Don’t quickly label your dog as stubborn, don’t begin shouting commands like a drill sergeant, and don’t give up training altogether – instead, try to give your dog a break and consider what may really be going on. A better understanding of how dogs learn should pave the path to better training. Hope this helps!👉https://bit.ly/3pT7Z3w

How You Can Get Your Boyfriend Back Step 1: Lean Back The very first thing you need to do to get your boyfriend back is resist the powerful urge to run after him, call him, text him, send messages to him via friends and family, or show up at his door. As I said above, this is going to feel really difficult, but you MUST do it if there is any hope that you will get your boyfriend back. We women tend to think that giving and giving to a man will bring him closer. And this includes doing things like checking up on him to see how he’s doing. It’s what I call “overfunctioning.” Don’t do it! A man is accustomed to valuing what he has to work for, so if you put in effort and make it easy for him, he will actually value you less. We work hard because we think that if we don’t he’ll assume we don’t care enough about him, and he’ll go away. But this is simply untrue. If you lean back and let go of the reigns, you give your boyfriend the chance to see what it feels like to be without you, and if he’s worth it you will get your boyfriend back. Remember this: men commit to you not because they want to be with a woman, but because they can’t stand to be WITHOUT you. Let him feel what it’s like NOT to have you in his life. Step 2: Open Your Heart The next thing I want you to do is to stop running from your painful emotions and embrace them. We women tend to stuff down our emotions for fear that a man will get scared by them and run away. But the real truth is that men LOVE our emotional nature – it’s drama that they can’t tolerate. When we learn to get in touch with our feelings and express them in a non–judging, non–critical way, a man will not feel blamed and will feel COMPELLED to open his heart to you. And you don’t need a man in your life to learn how to do this. Instead, practice “framing your feelings” with everyone you meet and even on your own. Start right now by asking yourself what you feel. Then say it out loud. Say, “I feel shaky,” or “I feel sad,” or “I feel happy just looking at that flower over there.” Practice this everywhere you go, and it will become natural to you in days. Then when you talk to the man you love, use this new way of expressing your feelings. You’ll notice a miraculous change in the way he connects to you and opens his heart. Step 3: Love Yourself Man carrying laughing woman Right now, remember how you were when you and your boyfriend first met. Were you obsessing about him? Were you calling him incessantly? Of course not. Chances are, you were focused on your OWN LIFE, and this was very attractive to him. Take this opportunity to get back in touch with you and fall in love with the woman who attracted him rather than spending your time thinking about how to get your boyfriend back. Get busy with your friends, your interests, and the things that make you YOU. Remember: you can lose a man, but you can NEVER lose yourself. If this man is worthy of you and is the right man for you, I guarantee that when he sees you are focusing on your own life he will realize what he’s missing.
