AcaiSoda Runs Circles Around Ardyss Body Magic

Yes, you read the title right. I'm probably a bit biased here since I've never worn or sold a body magic outfit. However, I can't see myself stuffing my extras into a suit four sizes too small in order to get into my clothes. Sorry...I just can't do it. Some part of me- make that a major part has a problem with the illusion of losing weight.

Let's frame this. Picture yourself meeting a woman who is vuluruously georgeous. She is thick in all the right places. Her body is like an hourfkass and her walk says the ahe knows how good she looks. The two of you date for a while and the rime comes for things to move to another level. Imagine the kissing and holding and touching that would take place. The two of you make an informed adult decision to become sexually intimate. Slowly her clothes come off piece by piece. It's time for her to reveal "what she's working with" and to your dismay, it's all bunched up inside a Body Magic suit hiding who and what she really is. You see I'm not a man who has annissue with a woman skin once I decide to move forward with her. We all have our flaws. I'm not one to hold that against anybody-but I need a little help here. Am I supposed to help her climb out if this Body Armour? Should I be concerned that when she unwraps the beautiful gift that is her body-it reveals about 10-15lbs of unaccounted for skin. Immediately I'm thinking this isn't the woman I thought I was seeing. It could very well be a deal breaker! I'm not hating on the fact, but I'm a man who believes that intimacy at every level is the ultimate platform for expression between a man and a woman. If you can't be real with me here, I have to wonder what else she's hiding? That's just me though. I'm sure there are some men who won't mind this type of shock to their system. I'm just notvone of them.

I strongly believe that before you lose unwanted pounds and keep them off,you have to love every inch of who and what you are. That's called loving yourself. It's the love you have for your true self that powers the kind of change that becomes permanent.

Don't bother arguing with me about what I don't understand about being heavy or plus sized. If you do, then you've never visited www.lourileylive.com . This is my life's testimonial of the struggle to lose weight. Check it out some time and learn more about who I am and what I really think about losing weight. Be sure to leave a message as well. I'd live to hear about your story as well.

I'll have more to say soon on the subject. Right now I'm blogging from my iPhone while I wait for my barber to get me in the chair. Yeah, I care about my appearance too--okay time to get my haircut!


Dreams mean work,

Lou Riley

p.s.-about the title? In the seven days it could take to order your body magic suit, I lost 26.2 total body inches doing little to know excercise. AcaiSoda was created by Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith.

Janet Jackson Finally Admits To Food Addiction!

I just watched a recent interview between Janet Jackson and ABC's Robin Roberts.  Anyone who struggles with weight loss should take a moment to check it out once it airs in its entirety.  Janet has been moved to write a book about weight loss and self-esteem called "True You."

Janet Jackson has stood as an iconic symbol of sex and beauty for nearly two decades.  Her dedication to detail with her body as well as her stage shows are legend.  Anyone who has had the pleasure of carrying around killer abs like Janet knows the level of sacrifice involved.  To many, a celebrity such as Janet Jackson should be the last person we think of when it comes to struggling with weight and self-esteem issues.

However, a closer look reveals that Janet Jackson is more like you and I than we realize.  She knows and understands what it is to struggle with weight issues.  There have been numerous photos around the web showing Janet during heavier times.  The difference between those photos and the picture of health and wellness is almost unbelievable!  However, many of us need only to pull out a photo of ourselves from 10 years ago to see the incredible difference in our own selves.

Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith, formulator of AcaiSoda as well as numerous health and wellness products, stated that food addiction is as serious and as real as any other drug of choice.  When you lay out the reasons why individuals develop an addiction to food we find numerous similarities.  Most often at the center are emotional issues.  Food to many, represent a comforting agent.  It settles down the emotions and gives a false sense of ease and security.  During moments of depression, it is food that picks us up and makes up believe everything will be alright.  When we celebrate, food is synonymous with success and having a good time.

During the interview, Janet shares that she realized that she needed to control her food addiction for HERSELF.  That to me is a definite sign of self acceptance and self love.  I have learned through my own struggle with weight issues that you have to love every inch, crack and crevice of who you are.  Once you reach that place, it is that same love for yourself that will move you to taking better care of yourself.

Many of us explain reasons outside of ourselves as to why we should lose weight and get our eating under control.  Janet Jackson has realized the true reason why weight loss and living healthy are important...it's all about her!  Sometimes we all could stand to be a bit more selfish.  Especially when our lives are on the line.  Trust when I tell you that the battle with weight is truly a battle for your life.  I did not know that I was setting myself up for an early grave.  I never knew until I sought the knowledge of others who have already walked in my shoes. Be on the lookout for Janet's upcoming book, "True You."  I am certain that those who struggle with losing weight will be able to identify with her struggle.

Be sure to visit my blog as I share in my own struggle to lose weight.  I trust there will be a golden nugget or two that you are free to take along on your journey!

Wishing you the most,

AcaiSoda Burns Belly Fat. Why Is That Important?

..So I've been hearing all this talk about AcaiSoda.  It's building a nice buzz around the internet nowadays.  Not only do I hear it to be great tasting supplement.  I also understand that it targets a few problem areas that many of us can relate to.  Yes my friends, that would be that dreaded Belly Fat.  The fat that has haunted many of us since our childhood years. We've tried crunches, squats, water, bigger pants-yet nothing seems to allow us to escape!

Hold your horses though...the wait may be over.  AcaiSoda boasts a number of key ingredients that work to burn belly fat.  Now let's put this into perspective.  Many of the supplements found in AcaiSoda are fat burning agents.  It just so happens that for a lot of us, our body fat tends to deposit itself around our midsections.  This is where those supplements tend to focus their attention.  Thus creating a realistic means for burning belly fat.  

What's the risk when we keep that belly fat around?  Well, here's one.  Belly fat puts pressure on our organs, thus causing our bodies to make an adjustment.  Often, the adjustment to that pressure is to raise our blood pressure.  Is there any secret now why there is a correlation between being overweight and blood pressure? 

So You Need Official Proof?

Salynn Boyles, posted an article on WebMD (here).  In this article, she gave the following info:

It has long been recognized that people who carry their excess weight around their middles -- those who are apple-shaped instead of pear-shaped -- have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes.

Recent research also suggests a link between belly fat and a range of other diseases, including diabetes, some cancers, and even age-related dementia.  But it has not been clear whether the increase in death risk associated with abdominal obesity occurs independently of recognized risk factors like general obesity, Pischon says.

The researchers used two measures of abdominal obesity -- waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio -- in their attempt to better understand the role of belly fat in early death. They examined data on 359,387 European adults followed for nearly 10 years who were enrolled in the larger, ongoing European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) health study.

During the follow-up period, 14,723 of the study participants died.

  • Men and women with the largest waists (more than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women) had roughly double the risk of premature death as men and women with the smallest waists (less than 34 inches for men and 28 for women).
  • Each 2-inch increase in waist circumference was associated with close to a 17% increase in mortality in men and a 13% increase in women.
  • Waist-to-hip ratio also strongly predicted mortality.

"The most important result of our study is the finding that not just being overweight, but also the distribution of body fat, affects the risk of premature death," Pischon says.

Conclusion

If you've reached this part of the article and you still don't think it's time to drop the belly fat, then God rest your soul!  If you are interested in losing the belly fat, then let me share an amazing product that I am using to solve this very problem.  It's AcaiSoda and you can learn more about it on my blog by clicking HERE!


FYI:  Neither Janet Jackson, King Magazine, WebMD, Pischon or Salynn Boyles have any affiliation with AcaiSoda.  They are used in this story as examples to better allow the reader to frame an understanding

AcaiSoda | Colostrum: The Six Hour Miracle

Colostrum is a pre-milk fluid that every female mammal produces prior to milk that jump starts over 50 processes in a newborn's system.  As adults, we suffer from the constant bombardment of the big six:

  1. Air Pollution
  2. Water Pollution
  3. Food Pollution
  4. Lack of Exercise
  5. Lack of Sleep
  6. Stress

Why do we need Colostrum?  It helps us stay healthy on the inside while building a great defense and a beautiful immune system. Colostrum provides all of the anti-aging factors that we need to stay young on the inside and outside. 

The Colostrum found in products such as AcaiSoda comes from cows.  (Bovine) Cows are the one species that produce a colostrum that is not species specific.  All mammals can ingest this Bovine Colostrum to induce anti-aging and enhance their immune systems.

There is a book called "The Fundamentals of Dairy Chemistry." Cornell, Harvard, Michigan State, Penn State-a lot of major research centers and universities use this as their bible.  This book shows that colostrum is colostrum only for a very short period of time after birth.  It's usually 0-6 or 8 hours.  The colostrum found in products AcaiSoda meets that criteria. 

Cornell University has written a memo the the founders of AcaiSoda meet their definition for what true colostrum is.  There is a major difference between the colostrum obtained from the Cow within it's first six hours of giving birth and colostrum that is obtained otherwise.  Cornell has acknowledged that other sources such as New Zealand, France and others whose colostrum meet the scientific defnition for transitional fluid, but fall short of the potency found in Colostrum obtained within the first 0-6 hours of birth.

What will Colostrum do for the immune system?

The immune system begins and ends with the thymus gland.  It is literally the seed of your immune system.  It affects our body's ability to fight disease, viruses and bacteria.  It helps to down regulate auto-immune situations such as Diabetes, Lupus, Kron's Disease and Fibromyalgia just to name a few.

When we are first born our thymus gland is about the size of a small navel orange and is functional until about puberty, then it begins to shrink. If that's the seed of your immune system, then after puberty we are all losing it.  By the time we are about 38-45, the thymus gland has shrunk to the size of of pea.  From ages 45+, the thymus gland is just a strand of tissue. 

Colostrum found in products such as AcaiSoda can be used to regrow the thymus gland and restore your immune system to a normal, functional state-which means health!  Not only will you rebuild the thymus gland, but you restore the body to its healthiest, strongest state. 

While AcaiSoda contains colostrum, understand that colostrum itself is a whole food that is available for consumtion.  To learn more about AcaiSoda, Colostrum and restoring your body's health, visit my blog:  HERE!

FYI:

This article was written as a transcription of an audio interview with Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith, formulator of AcaiSoda as well as a number of other wellness product.  Please note that the intent was not to reproduce word for word, but to give pertinent information on the science of colostrum and how it fits into our lives.  Neither Dr. Kleinsmith nor the interviewer hold any liability for the content found in this article.

The Acai Berry Scam: Are You Getting What You Paid For?

Did you realize that the Acai Berry products found on the market are not giving you what you are paying for?  Those who chose these products are literally throwing their money away because they are not getting all the wonderful things the Acai Berry offers.  AcaiSoda creator, Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith (Dr. K), has been formulating health and wellness products for the past 20 years.  His research has been affiliated with some of the country's top diagnostic labs.  He and his team have been developing AcaiSoda over the past two years.  Dr. Kleinsmith garauntees that with AcaiSoda, you are going to get exactly what you are paying for and you will be astounded by the results! 

Acai products today are simply pathetic!  Most so-called products give you what Dr. K calls a fairy dust sampling of acai berry and expect you to throw your money after them.  Acai has some phenomenal benefits.  It is rated on the Orac value it is going to give you.  The benefits range from energy, strength, weight loss, inch loss (huge difference), cleansing, ridding the body of free radical damage that may be occuring.

Dr. K and his staff are excited about their new AcaiSoda Product.  Finally, we have a product where the formulator didn't hold back on the good stuff.  Imagine purchasing your morning coffee to get your day started and someone held back the caffeine!  That is exactly what has been happening across the wellness industry when it comes to the many Acai products.  AcaiSoda is made up of a number of incredible parts.  Here are a few of the main characters:

Acai: Did Oprah Know What She Was Talking About?

A few years ago, I was introduced to the superfood known as the Acai Berry.  Strangely enough, it was through an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show.  Oprah invited Dr. Perricone on her show to discuss his opinion on the top ten foods everyone should have in their diets.

Anyone who watches or has watched Oprah should well know about her struggle with weight loss.  She has devoted a major portion of her show topics to this particular subject matter.  This episode was no different. 

Dr. Perricone listed the top ten superfoods and the #1 food on his list that everyone should have in their diet is Acai.  Particularly the pulp.  This allows for a distinction because many products make claims to have Acai as their base ingredient, but in actuality, they my take a sprinkle of the essense of this superfruit and have the legal ability to name it as such.  Again, the most important part of the fruit-the part where all the magic lives is the pulp. 

Açaí pulp contains:

  • A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
  • A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
  • An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.
The fatty acid content in açaí resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.

Where do you get your Acai?

Are you interested in adding Acai to your diet? Are you are looking for a great source that will provide you with all of the essential components of this fruit?  Look no more!  I'd like to make you a special offer.  I came across an absolutely amazing product known as AcaiSoda.  Along with multiple other incredible ingredients, it contains the recommended daily amount of Acai.  In addition AcaiSoda is made from the best parts of the Acai Berry. Follow the link below for a risk free 30-day supply of AcaiSoda.  Try it out and if after 15 days you are not satisfied, simply cancel your order and keep the remainder as a thank you for trying our product. However if you do decide that you are experiencing the benefits and you want to continue using the product, you will be billed monthly.  So what's the most you have to lose?  A $4.95 shipping fee for a 30 day trial supply?

AcaiSoda Ingredient #1: The Acai Berry

I had an opportunity to interview with Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith, formulator of Acai Soda.  He appeared quite confident in the ability of his product to help individuals burn belly fat, lose weight and increase their energy levels.  Being the skeptic that I am, of course I offered to put his claim to the test.  We set up a situation where he would send me some product and actually have me blog about it in a similar manner as I have done with my Lou Riley Live! Blog.  I was simply asked to state the truth of what I was experiencing.  At the time of this writing, I have not yet received my product, but I have to be honest, I am extremely excited about it. 

Dr. K shared with me the science behind the product in terms of the ingredients and how they would have an effect on the healthy lifestyle I have adopted over the past six months.  I will share the ingredients and what they do in a few blog posts.  That way, you will have an opportunity to review each of them individually first, then understand how they fit into the big scheme of things. 

The first ingredient in AcaiSoda, of course, is The Acai Berry. It is a fruit that grows on the Acai Palm Tree and used by the natives in the Amazon Rain Forest of Brazil for many generations to aid the body in; achieving weight loss, improving digestion, clearing skin complexion, and overcoming sexual dysfunction, insomnia and more. The berry pulp is extremely high in its antioxidant value along with being very rich in omega fats, amino acids, electrolytes, protein and Vitamins A, B1, and E. This berry pulp has up to 30 times the Anthocyanins than red wine and is a major antioxidant that helps our body fight free radical damage; in other words, slowing down premature aging!

Anthocyanins can be described very easily; pigmentation synthesized for life. Look at any deep colored flower or fruit and you are seeing Anthocyanins. This powerful component of the Acai berry is the antioxidant that are maintained even after they are eaten by another organism, giving that organism the ability to maintain Energy, overcome Stress and allow for Inch Loss! Throw in unsaturated fats such as Omega 3, 6 and 9. Nineteen (19) different amino acids and three plant phytosterols; which have been shown to help lower cholesterol and are exceptional for heart health and you have begun your journey to wellness.

On a personal note, I have taken Acai in past.  It was actually featured on Oprah a few years ago on a segment she did about The Top Ten Superfoods we should all have in our diets.  The Acai Fruit was listed at #1!  At the time I was training for a 1/2 marathon and it definitely help with my stamina and endurance as well as some lower back pain I was experiencing.  I cannot promise the same will take affect with you, however, this was my personal experience. I actually shaved 45 minutes of my 10 mile time within one week of taking Acai.  I am a huge fan of the fruit and I highly recommend that everyone should add it to their diet.  Click on the image below for your risk free trial!

The Acai Soda Diary | Entry #1

Six months ago I weighed in at 456 lbs and wore a size 58 in pants.  Since then I have dropped over 4 sizes.  For most, this would be a major accomplishment.  With me this is not the case.  I have lost weight before, but now I want to go deeper into the process.  My mind and spirit are focusing in on a total body transformation.  Even though I can wear clothes now that I have not been able to in over a year, I am not satisfied.  I want to have more.  I want to be more, so I am willing to do more!  I have not necessarily hit the wall, but everything in me is saying that its time to raise my level of intensity.  Its time to take things to a higher level.  I do not want to go back to the back pain, the heavy breathing, the staring, the clothes that don't fit  and the restaurant booths I could not fit in.  God knows its time for me to change!

We all must be aware that when we meditate on our hearts desires, we have then activated all forces of the universe to work in our favor and bring those things directly to us in proportion to our level of belief.  I am at the 6-month point in my most recent attempt to lose weight.  I feel as though I completed the first part of my journey.  I run, swim and lift weights.  Now, its time to raise the bar. 

With that being said, I was introduced to a product called Acai Soda.  As of this writing, my trial order of this product in en route.  I cannot say with certainty what this product will do for me.  However, I can say that I am immensely impressed with the stories I have learned about what it has done for others. 

I recently interviewed Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith, formulator of Acai Soda and world-renowned researcher.  He shared his views on the subject and science of weight loss.  Dr. Kleinsmith, stated that we should not be concerned with losing weight.  Instead, our focus should be on losing inches.  Think about it, muscle weighs more than fat and takes up less space.  Therefore it is possible to build muscle, lose inches, but not always lose a tremendous amount of weight.  Personally, I love it when an individual with an advanced understanding of a subject can state things in simplistic terms.  Besides, how often does the creator of a wellness product call you on your cell phone and chat with you for over an hour about their product?  I am certain this may not always be standard practice.  I simply ask that you consider the fact that as I share information from this journey, I have a direct line to communication with its creator.

I have no intentions of making outlandish claims, trying to persuade you that I have discovered the fountain of youth.  I think its time for real people to stand up and tell real stories about real products.  I will be providing additional articles, blog posts, videos and podcasts concerning the Acai Soda product once I implement the substance into my regular diet.  Stay tuned!  This Acai Soda could be the push I need to make it to the finish line.
