The Metabolism Solution Review & Giveaway

A sluggish metabolism can hinder weight loss and fitness goals. After years of research Lisa Lynn has developed an approach to eating and exercising to help maximize your metabolism in order to reach your weight loss goals.

About The Metabolism Solution

You might be thinking – not another weight loss plan! But here is the main difference between The Metabolism Solution and other weight loss solutions: Lisa Lynn focuses on the body and what we are consuming to help with weight loss. Lisa has studied and examined how to increase our own body’s natural metabolism to speed up our weight loss and fitness goals. Lisa also teaches us how to work out (yup there is a science behind exercise!) and how to use this to help you reach your goals. Lisa also includes some delicious recipes at the end of her book to help guide you in meal planning and eventually developing your own recipes. The Metabolism Solution is the perfect road map to transform your whole life.

About Lisa Lynn

Lisa Lynn is a celebrity fitness and nutrition expert who has dedicated three decades of her career to personal training, metabolic weight loss and performance nutrition. Coupled with her experience in fitness and nutrition she has earned four certificates from the International Sports and Sciences Association’s Professional Division.

Her research in metabolic boosting and performance nutrition has resulted in the development of her Leaner Lifestyle DVD series that help promote healthy fat loss by boosting stubborn metabolisms.

My Thoughts

I have been dedicating the last several months to healthier eating and (trying) to stick with my workouts. I have not always been faithful (hang head in shame!) and at times I have felt just like giving up. Mostly because I can not get my food and exercise to work for me. I am having a hard time revving up my metabolism and ensuring that I am reaching maximum results or any results to be very honest. This book was delivered at a perfect time for me.

Lisa devotes several of the chapters examining and explaining the how to and why’s of diet and exercise. Even with my own educational background I found I definitely needed this refresher to help open my eyes. While some of the advice will be hard to follow – cutting out the amount of red meat, fruits and adding in all the extra vegetables (which will definitely explain the weight loss achieved) a lot of it is good healthy advice that we should be incorporating into our daily lives.

Lisa also includes a fantastic set of recipes at the back of the book divided up into categories with some pretty fantastic and delicious sounding names. Each recipe was easy to follow with minimal steps to take to prepare the recipe. Which makes sense as the healthiest meals for us are the simplest ones with minimal ingredients. I found that it may be hard to stick to the increased vegetables with minimal fruits (she suggest one a day) as I love my fruits.

I really like the way Lisa writes. You feel like you are having a conversation with her and she has been there. Any excuses you may have she already knows and has the answer for you. She gets straight to the point and explains the theories she presents in an easy manner.

Overall, The Metabolism Solution, is a very helpful tool to aid in weight loss and if you can stick to Lisa’s suggestion you will be on your way to weight loss in no time! If you are like me and have a harder time you can adapt her concept to better suit your goals and have the benefits of eating healthy and losing weight (just slower than others may).

Rating: 4/5

A New Year, New Goals & A New Me with Giveaway!

Last year was quite the whirlwind for my family and I as life changed, new goals were both realized and set and brand new opportunities arose. I love the work that I have been blessed to do, both in the office and at home as a Mother and a Blogger. I knew that in order for myself to grow as a blogger I had to make changes and develop goals and the steps that I would have to take to make it where I want to go.

I started off by enrolling in a Marketing Diploma that began in the fall of 2014. I have to admit this has been super hard on me. Since having kids I feel like I can read one chapter from my textbook and whoosh it is all gone after finishing the chapter – I used to be like a walking encyclopedia! I am currently wrapping up my first course and while it has been a bit of a learning curve for me, I have loved learning the new terminology, new skills and new concepts to help me be a better blogger.

Another important goal that I had for myself was to celebrate 2015 with a new site and a new look. I have been on the fence about switching to WordPress from Blogger and after a few hiccups (which I am so grateful to my fellow bloggers who helped me out so much) my new site is now live!

I want to thank all of you for being there for me on this journey, supporting me and teaching me. All of the words of encouragement, emails and comments mean the world to me. It is what keeps me going when I feel ready to give up.

For 2015, I want to continue to bring you:

fun, new and exciting content
fabulous new products
giveaways
delicious recipes
photography and more!

I am also preparing for some travelling this year and can’t wait to bring these experiences to you. So far we have planned a trip to Blue Mountain and Quebec for the BConnected Conference (can’t wait to meet all the fantastic friends that I have met online in real life).

To help celebrate my new goals and to say thank you to each and every one of you I am so happy to bring you a new giveaway sponsored by me.

My Canadian readers can now enter to win a $50 gift card to Shoppers Drug Mart (my personal favourite place to shop).

Good luck and thank you so much for all your support! <3

Guess How Much I Love You #Giveaway

Guess How Much I Love You, the much-loved story for all ages, has now come to life in DVD format! Guess How Much I Love You, with a release date of January 5th in the US and Canada, has a total of seven heart warming episodes full of love, friendship and the ever important love between father and son. In each of these episodes, Little Nutbrown Hare and Father Big Nutbrown Hare remind us that there is no greater love than that of the love between a parent and their child.

Guess How Much I Love You is full of incredibly sweet songs with catchy tunes (I have been singing the ‘Guess how much I love you’ tune for the last week and it has been our new catch phrase at home!) and loveable animal characters with excellent illustrations. The animation brings back so many memories of my own favourite childhood characters! As a family we were able to join Little Nutbrown Hare on his adventures as he meets new friends, learns new songs and dances all to show Big Nutbrown Hare how much he loves him. Each episode is just over ten minutes long with a total running time of eighty minutes. This makes it perfect for short viewing times for the younger crowd with the ability to play the DVD for longer for the older child.

The story is based on the love between a parent and a child and how strong that bond is. It was great to be able to cherish this with our children and to watch their faces as they watched the episodes.

kaboom! Entertainment and Working Mommy Journal are offering one of my readers the chance to win not only their own copy of Guess How Much I Love You but also the brand new panorama accompanying book! My Canadian readers can enter via the Rafflecopter form below – Good luck!

Ultimate Anti Aging Stocking Stuffer with Racinne Canada #giveaway

I love my skin care products – they have always played an important role in my skin care routine. A good mask, cleanser, toner and serum is of great importance to me – especially as I get older (to be able to have the skin I had in my teens!!). I have always believed you are never to young to start to take care of your skin and make sure it is at your best so that you feel at your best.

Racinne Canada wants to help women feel beautiful in their own skin and to encourage the appreciation of natural beauty – something every woman should appreciate! We are all beautiful and unique in our way and this should be celebrated. It is important to feel good in our own skin – it is the only we will ever have. Racinne uses seven years of research in biotechnology of rare plant extracts to offer high quality products that will empower you as a woman to celebrate yourself inside and out.

The four lines are:

Youth Power: An anti-aging formula to help restore youthful suppleness.
Hydra Perfection: A deep hydration formula that leaves a healthy and radiant glow.
Aqua Blanc: This formula helps to brighten and reduce hyperpigmentation for a flawless complexion.
Delicare Perfection: A formula designed to protect and comfort the most sensitive skin.

I am currently testing out the Anti Aging Youth Power line and loving it so far. From the gorgeous containers the products come in, to the luxurious feel of the formulas and the softness it leaves my skin feeling after application. The main ingredients in this line are Korean ginseng callus extracts, Adenosine and SH-DP-9 to help promote collagen and elastin synthesis. The formula has been shown to firm and tone skin in as little as four weeks!! My constant fear as I get older is loose skin on my face and wrinkles. I know that is inevitable but I want to fight it as long as possible. I want to look as young as I feel. We need the extra care from these products as we get older to ensure our skin is getting enough moisture and collagen to promote elasticity and that full, plump look to our skin.

The formula itself is lightly scented and covers quite well with only a small amount. Which is perfect as it will last that much longer. I noticed that my skin felt softer to the touch after application which I love – although my constant rubbing my cheeks will probably only cause me breakouts in the long run but it just feels so nice I can not resist!

Racinne Canada and Mom Powered Media is now giving my readers a chance to win a Racinne prize pack with a minimum value of $106.97 CAN. Awesome right? Enter via the Giveaways tool form below – good luck!
