Snack ideas!!!!

                                            Snack IDEAS

     To bridge the gap between meals, eat fibrous and protein-rich foods to stay satiated. “Low-fat yogurt, string cheese, or a small handful of nuts; non-starchy vegetables; fresh fruits; whole-grain crackers; and non-calorie beverages such as water, coffee and tea.”

The more muscle you have in your body, the more calories you'll be burning

Lifting weights isn't absolutely necessary for burning belly fat, but it makes it THAT much quicker. It is known that a pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat, even when you're sitting down or sleeping. That being said, the more muscle you have in your body, the more calories you'll be burning, doing NOTHING.

Why is drinking water so important?

       The single most important nutrient for the human body is water. This inexpensive substance is all around us, and it is absolutely vital for everything that is alive. More than 70 percent of the world’s surface is covered in water, yet many people simply don’t get enough.

Why is drinking water so important? Humans are designed to primarily drink the refreshing substance. Not drinking enough can lead to water deficiency, which leads to chronic dehydration. This condition contributes to a wide range of common medical conditions, ranging from osteoporosis and osteoarthritis to allergies and asthma. Chronic dehydration typically goes unnoticed for many years before symptoms begin to appear. Avoiding this critical nutrient in favor of a sugary substitute can also have devastating consequences. Obesity, headaches, chronic fatigue, heartburn, stiff joints, allergies and asthma may all be exacerbated by dehydration.
To determine if you may not be drinking enough water, ask yourself the following questions; a “yes” answer to any may be a sign you should drink more water:

  1. Do you drink three or more cups of coffee every day?
  2. Do you drink two or more sodas every day?
  3. Is water usually a last option as your beverage of choice?
  4. Is your urine typically very dark?

Recommended Intake

Eight cups or 2 liters of water every single day is necessary for proper health. Most water from public sources is just as beneficial and nutritious as bottled or specially purified water.

Individuals who exercise frequently or who live in very hot environments should drink additional water. Since the body is largely composed of this nutrient, frequent sweating requires regular re-hydration. Goto www.kristine.automaticbody.com to get your nutrie

Do you drink too much soda ? Ideas to put the can down....

Putting down that can ~

a few ideas: 

Drink more Energe. Carry it with you, and drink it all day long. This will help your body purge your soda cravings. Alternate Energe with water to stay hydrated.= :)

 purchase here:  Automaticbody

Rethink mealtime drinks. Drink water or milk (skim or 1%) at meals and snack times.


Save soda, lemonade, Kool-Aid, and punch for special occasions — no more than once or twice per week.
Watch the juice. Drink 100% fruit juice, but limit yourself to one small (4 to 6 ounces) glass or juice box a day.

 Or, eat a piece of fruit instead. You’ll get more nutrients, and feel more satisfied.

Exotic nutrient dense super fruits = Weight Loss!


Garcinia Cambogia, is this the secret to sustainable weight loss?

 

 Garcinia Cambogia has long been considered one of the best tasting, rare, exotic nutrient dense super fruits in the World, but now countless research studies and real life results are showing us that Garcinia Cambogia is The Holy Grail of Weight Loss.  Don’t believe us?  Just ask Dr. Oz.

  • Faster Weight Loss by acting as a fat blocker
  • Natural Appetite Suppressant to control hunger and over eating
  • Increase Serotonin for better sleep and regulating moods
  • Balance Stress Hormones for emotional eaters and manage Cortisol
  • Controls Sugar Cravings


As busy individuals it comes as no surprise that it is hard to find the time to always eat right, or remember to drink enough water throughout the day, etc.  We are short on time and normally don’t have the energy or drive to prepare a healthy meal as buying fast food, frozen dinner, or junk food is the all to easier choice.  The people at Nutrie realized this and have developed the Nutrie line of products and the Automatic Body program that work around our busy lives.


Skinne which is the revolutionary 2 oz. shot that not only has Garcinia Cambogia in it but also other amazing ingredients such as Raspberry Ketones, B Vitamins, Chromium Picolinate, among many other leading weight loss ingredients and supplements.
