My Krispy Kreme Experience
On Saturday, I spent the morning at my 17-year old’s swim meet. I volunteered to be timer (I think that’s the best volunteer job because you get to see each race up close and personal). The hosting team came over to tell us that if we were hungry there was breakfast for us — just come by on a break. Figuring maybe there would be some fruit, at the very least a banana, I headed over to the food area.  Imagine my surprise when I found myself face to face with a box of — you guessed it — Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Now, I haven’t been face to face with a doughnut in YEARS. As I politely said, “No thanks,” all sorts of thoughts raced through my head. Is this for real? This is an athletic meet where we’re supposed to model good nutrition for the kids. Little did these people know I’ve been doing a Bye-Bye Belly Fat campaign, and at the top of my list of “get rid of this quick” is donuts and other sugary processed food. So I observed who was eating Krispy Kremes. And, for each subject, I did a little analytical comparison on the size around the person’s middle and whether there was a Krispy Kreme in hand. You can read all about my observations and the effects of Krispy Kremes on your metabolism in my feature article. If doughnuts and “do not feel like it” obstacles mean you’ve been struggling with making exercise a priority in your life, listen in on last week’s interview with Michelle Melendez, fitness specialist (You’ll find the link in my Radio Shows Archive below). On the show she shared such gems as how to strengthen your thighs in between e-mails, how to shape your biceps without weight lifting, how to get started and keep motivated, and how to measure your progress and reward your success.  I cannot tell you how excited I am about this week’s radio show guest. I met Laura Fenamore just a couple of months ago and we instantly became close friends. Has that ever happened to you? Laura’s story is so moving, and the work she brings to the world is such a blessing! Laura used to be 100 pounds overweight, yet you’d never know it to look at her. Today, she maintains her weight effortlessly, but it wasn’t always like that for Laura. She smoked, she drank too much, and she was bulimic. She tried all sorts of diets without success. She believed that she would live her life addicted and unhappy until she died. Then she discovered the reason for her destructive behavior and through a process she shares in her work, turned on the self-love switch. Everything changed. Can you really love yourself thin? Find out how on my next edition of Vibrant Health Solutions Radio Show. Click here for details. Also in this issue is a guest article by Midlife health expert Nina Price. Nina will be interviewing me in the first week in October in a call titled Leaky Gut: The Silent Saboteur of Your Midlife Mojo as part of the Cracking the Midlife Code II Summit. I have a busy speaking schedule coming up this fall:
Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo Krispy Kreme – A Sure Fire Recipe for a Flabby Belly, Foggy Mind, and Fatigued Body
By Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo I don’t usually single out a single junk food manufacturer because there are so many to choose from, but because I was up close and personal to Krispy Kreme recently while volunteering as a timer at my son’s swim meet, I decided to do a little research and write about just what lurks beneath the shiny gooey cover.  On the Krispy Kreme website they say: For over 60 years, our customers have been enjoying Krispy Kreme doughnuts made from premium ingredients. The only animal byproducts used in our doughnut are eggs (whites and yolks) and dairy products (including milk, butter, yogurt, whey, nonfat milk and nonfat whey). Our doughnuts are cooked in 100% vegetable oil shortening (partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oil). All monoglycerides, diglycerides and enzymes are vegetable based. The lecithin we use is soy based. We also use wheat in our doughnuts, including bran, germ, gluten, starch and flour. Our products may contain allergens.
Ingredients: Enriched bleached wheat flour- (contains bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine, mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), dextrose, vegetable shortening (partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oil), water, sugar, soy flour, egg yolks, vital wheat gluten, yeast, nonfat milk, yeast nutrients (calcium sulfate, ammonium sulfate), dough conditioners (calcium dioxide, monocalcium and dicalcium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, sodium stearoyl-2-lacrylate, whey, starch, ascorbic acid, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate), salt, mono-and-diglycerides, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides, lecithin, calcium propionate (to retain freshness), cellulose gum, natural and artificial flavors, fungal alpha amylase, amylase, maltogenic amylase, pantosenase, protease, sodium caseinate, corn maltodextrin, corn syrup solids and BHT (to help protect flavor).
Glaze also may contain: Calcium carbonate, agar, locust bean gum, disodium phosphate, and sorbitan monostearate.
 At first, you may feel resistance and loss when considering giving up a comfort food, but what you won’t know, can’t know until you try an insulin reset program, is how you’ll feel when you don’t have that chemical soup in your system. Whatever loss you anticipate is nothing, NOTHING compared to what you’ll gain when your energy returns, when your mind clears, and when your body is at its best. Guest Article for Midlifers:

Self-Love: It’s Time We Practiced It – Thursday, September 29th, 2011
 Guest, Laura Fenamore, was 100 pounds overweight. She drank too much. She was bulimic. She smoked. She tried different diets without success. She believed that she would live her life addicted to food and unhappy until she died. Then one day the unconditional love of a guardian angel brought her to a realization: All those dysfunctional behaviors sprang from a feeling that she was unloved. Most importantly, she realized she didn’t love herself. Laura flipped an internal switch. She began down the path to love of self. Her heart opened. She let go of the self-destructive forces that made her hate what she saw in the mirror. She changed her behaviors and attained a healthy weight. She has maintained that healthy weight — and a healthy body image — for 24 years. It’s time to learn how to love, accept and respect your body!

Do you wake up after a long night’s sleep only to still feel exhausted? You may very well be experiencing burnout. Did you know that your organs and glands can suffer from fatigue? Your skin and immune system can too. Often “exhaustion” is at a cellular level. When your skin is tired, you get outbreaks and slow wound healing. When your digestion becomes sluggish, you may experience constipation or indigestion. A fatigued immune system can’t adequately protect you from microbes and starts to attack itself. And a worn out liver is unlikely to be efficient at eliminating toxins. Join Dr. Ritamarie and learn what influences may be making you tired at a cellular level.
