Listen To Your Body:

Ask yourself if you are really hungry, and stop eating when you feel full, It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.

Eating just enough to satisfy your hunger will help you remain alert, relaxed and feeling your best, rather than stuffing yourself into a "food coma'!

(If it's too late for you for this advice, i.e., Thanksgiving Dinner!!!, you can try this advice again...Tomorrow!)

Don't Be the Food Police.

You can enjoy your favorite sweets and fried foods in moderation, as long as they are an occasional part of your overall healthy diet. Food is a great source of pleasure, and pleasure is good for the heart--even if those French fries aren't!

Enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday, with all that delicious food, in moderation of course, and get back on track...on Friday!

TG- 2000 ADVANCE can help to curb those food cravings, and give you the energy needed for the busy days ahead!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Natures BodyCare. We are truly grateful for each one of you; our customers and friends.

Eating Smart

Take time to chew your food:
Chew your food slowly savoring every bite. We tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the textures of what is in our mouths. Reconnect with the joy of eating.

Success Story:

Julie H. of Utah wrote today:

"I started taking TG-2000 ADVANCE about 2 months ago. I wanted to see if there was something that would help me lose weight without having to really change anything in my diet or routine. I have since lost 10 lbs without changing a thing.

I think if I changed my eating habits and exercised more, I would reallly see the weight come off. My husband just started taking TG-2000 ADVANCE about 4 weeks ago and he has already lost 5 lbs."

Healthy Minestrone Soup

This delicious recipe gets a 4 spoon rating from our test kitchen!

8 oz lite kielbasa or turkey sausage, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
1 small onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 cups water
3 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups carrots diced
1 cup celery diced
2 (14.5 oz) cans Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can cannellini or Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup dry farfalle (bowtie) pasta

Directions:
Brown sausage in bottom of soup pot. Remove and set aside. Add olive oil, onion, green pepper, and garlic to same pot, stirring to scrape up any brown bits from pot. (This deglazes the pan and will add great flavor) Cook on medium heat until onion and green pepper are tender. Add water, bouillon cubes, carrots and celery to pot. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes or until carrots and celery begin to get tender. In a seperate saucepan bring water to boil for pasta. Salt water, add pasta and cook for about 5-7 minutes. You still want pasta to be somewhat firm, it will finish cooking in the soup. Add tomatoes and sausage to soup and reduce to simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add beans and pasta and simmer for 10 minutes or until ready to serve. Soup is even better reheated the next day!
