John Legend - All of Me

All of Me

What would I do without your smart mouth

Drawing me in, you kicking me out

Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down

What's going on in that beautiful mind

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

My head's underwater

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh

How many times do I have to tell you

Even when you're crying you're beautiful too

The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood

You're my downfall, you're my muse

My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you

My head's underwater

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh

Give me all of you, oh oh

Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts

Risking it all though it's hard

Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you

I give you all of me

And you give me all, of you, oh oh

Eating Protein Without the Meat

Ask Glen!






Q. Glen, How do I make sure to get enough protein?


A. Is a common question for vegetarians. What vegetarians need to know is that protein is important because it helps your body grow and recover from injury or illness.

Protein comes from animal and plant sources and is made up of amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids. The body itself can produce 11 of them, while the other nine are considered “essential” amino acids and must be absorbed from food. Even though meat is a great and easy way to obtain protein, you can incorporate all nine “essential” amino acids into your diet without eating any meat.

To do this, it’s important to eat a variety of whole grains, veggies, beans, soy, legumes, seeds and nuts to make sure you absorb all the essential amino acids. Some foods are lower in one amino acid, while others might be higher. Consuming all the essential amino acids in a single meal isn’t necessary. As long as you eat a variety of foods on a regular basis, they will combine to make complete proteins.

There are several advantages to eating a vegetarian diet:

• You eat less cholesterol – there is no cholesterol in plant foods.
• You will eat more fiber, which helps reduce the risks of bowel diseases.
• You usually don’t exceed your calorie limit.

Your body only requires that 12 - 15 % of your calories come from protein. Storing protein is not possible and your body gets rid of any excess. Too much protein can actually be unhealthy. There is nothing to be concerned about when it comes to vegetarians getting adequate protein. Variety is key!

Healthy Foods Can Make You Fat!

Ask Glen!






Q. Glen, I am eating very very healthy and still getting bigger any suggestion's?


A. It is possible to have too much of a good thing. While pretzels, nuts, granola bars, rice cakes and other snacks may be smart snacks, you have to be careful not to overdo it. Limit yourself to one serving. Even healthy foods can take a toll on your waistline. After all, those calories add up. For example, a nutri-grain bar contains 150 calories. Eat a couple of them in one sitting and you've consumed 300 calories. Remember, just because a food is healthy isn't a license to overindulge.

Glen's Bottom Line: Again I kept saying MODERATION! Nuff Said (Again)

Best Treats for People with Diabetes

Ask Glen!






Q. Glen, What can I eat as a TREAT this summer since I have Diabetes?

A.Diabetes is not caused by eating sugar, and if you have diabetes it doesn't mean that you can never eat sugar again. I'm always a bit saddened when I hear a person with diabetes say, "Oh, I can't eat that. I have diabetes," or "I can't eat that, it has sugar."

The American Diabetes Association's recommendation for sugar is short and sweet: People with diabetes can eat sugar as long as it's integrated into a healthy eating program.

Sugar is carbohydrate. And like all carbohydrate, sugar has four calories per gram. Added sugar in packaged foods comes in many different forms: white sugar (sucrose), brown sugar; fructose (fruit sugar), lactose (milk sugar), dextrose, maltose, honey and even fruit-juice concentrate are all used to sweeten foods.
All forms of sugar are metabolized, or broken down, to their most essential component, glucose, and used for energy by the cells. If you eat too much sugar, or any form of carbohydrate for that matter, you'll store the excess calories as fat.

All people with diabetes need to watch their carbohydrate grams, especially when they need to take insulin to manage their blood sugars. People with diabetes can indulge in a sugary treat just like the rest of us -- not every day, but occasionally. Since artificially sweetened treats have fewer grams of carbohydrate, they can be enjoyed more frequently.

Fruit, the ultimate natural sweet treat, should be part of a healthy meal plan. If you have diabetes, review your meal plan with your diabetes educator, physician or registered dietitian and plan for a sweet snack. Combine snacking with good nutrition and exercise and stay healthy.

Here are 10 of some of the Best Treats for People with Diabetes.

1. Fruit: One of the best sweet treats invented! Fruit is fine for people with diabetes. In fact, the ADA recommends two to three servings daily, depending upon your calorie needs. Some "superfruit" (extra high in antioxidants and vitamins) include all berries (especially blueberries), cantaloupe, kiwi, mango and citrus. Whole fruit is a fine source of fiber, which is important to decrease risk for stroke and heart disease

2. Yogurt: Nonfat, sugar-free yogurt makes a tasty snack or dessert. Enjoy it right out of the container for a snack or as a dip with vegetables. For dessert, serve peach-flavored sugar-free yogurt drizzled on grapefruit and orange sections.

3. Frozen Fruit Slush: Try this recipe from the National Cancer Institute's Eat 5 to 9 a Day program. Makes four servings.

Using a blender, process the following:
3 cups frozen fruit (such as frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or melon)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup fat-free milk or nonfat plain yogurt
Sweeten to taste. One packet of sweetener equals about 2 teaspoons of sugar.

4. Sugar-Free Hot Chocolate: Choose calcium-fortified, sugar-free hot chocolate and satisfy your sweet tooth with the added bonus of the bone-strengthening mineral. Read the label: calories range from 25 per serving to 60; some contain zero trans-fat and others contain one to two grams. Some hot-chocolate mixes are sweetened with NutraSweet and others with Splenda. As for carbs, some have three grams or less; others contain more.

5. Angel Food Cake: This fat-free cake is nutritious served topped with a one-half cup of sliced, fresh strawberries and a dollop of sugar-free nondairy topping. A small piece counts as one serving of bread plus a half serving of fruit.

6. Jell-O: Prepare sugar-free Jell-O in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator. Eat all you want without worry. Jell-O doesn't have calories or carbohydrates. Mix with fruit cocktail for a special treat. A half cup of fruit cocktail packed in water (not syrup) counts as one serving of fruit.
7. Hard Candies: Sugar-free hard candies are a personal favorite of mine. I often hanker for a sweet after meals, and sugar-free candies (usually sweetened with sorbital) have about 35 to 50 calories per three to four pieces.

8. Ice Cream: Your local grocery store stocks a wide variety of sugar-free, fat-free ice cream, ice milk and frozen yogurt. Read the labels and choose your favorite sugar-free and fat-free version for the fewest number of calories per serving. I usually opt for portion-controlled fudge pops or frozen fruit bars, also available in sugar-free and fat-free versions.

9. Frozen Fresh Fruit: Wrap small, ripe bananas in plastic. Freeze, then peel and eat like a frozen fruit bar (one per serving). Seedless grapes are wonderful frozen treats (12 to 15 grapes count as one serving of fruit).

10. Chocolate: Sometimes you just want a taste of the "real thing." Dark chocolate, with more antioxidants and less saturated fat, is the best. Hershey's, among other manufacturers, offers dark chocolate in both sugar-free and regular varieties with only a 40-calorie difference per serving. Both have the same amount of fat and cholesterol; sugar-free has 170 calories and zero grams of sugar per serving vs. 210 and 20 grams of sugar for the regular. The fine print on the label tells consumers that sugar-free chocolate is not calorie-free, and that the sweetener in sugar-free chocolate, lactitol, can have a laxative effect when eaten in excess.
Bottom Line. Watch your sugar intake and eat sensibly.

Consistency Eventually Leads to Breakthroughs!

Ask Glen!




Q. Glen, I work on my goal most of the time, when will I see results?


A.Consistency, is so important to the Clean, Lean & Mean System,( A WorkOut GEM Program) is something our society often overlooks. People are so focused on wanting things now that they aren't willing to spend the time consistently doing small things over time. This attitude results in loads of stress and lost opportunities.

Here's how you can reap the benefits of consistently doing small things:

First, pick small goals that can be somewhat easily integrated into your normal daily schedule.

Examples include:

• 10 minute workout in the morning
• Taking fruits and vegetables to work (packs of raisins, an apple, or a bag of carrots)
• Giving yourself small breaks throughout the day to relax or meditate
• Working on a new skill for a certain amount of time each week

Next, set specific goals based on these, then write down the goals and track them.

Once you do these steps, consistently setting and achieving goals becomes an upward cycle. As you gain momentum, you will want to continue achieving new goals. One thing to watch out for is losing focus on the goals that built your springboard, which can cause the whole thing to fall apart. Those goals should become good habits.

Consistently building new habits can lead to personal breakthroughs that wouldn't have otherwise happened.

Here's a personal example: I've been really working on my fitness consistency over the past 3 years. I've also set a goal to improve my bench press. Last night I lift weights with a friend at the local gym, I tried to lift 300 pounds ! I failed (it wasn't even that close). Afterwards, we continued to lift for another 20 minutes or so. Instead of being down mentally and exhausted physically from the exercise, I still had energy and still wanted to improve my fitness. Also, I concentrated on improving my technique and wanted to get better. After about 10 minutes, I had a breakthrough in the development of my lifts and my friend immediately noticed I was lifting much better.( 260 ) I started at 135... Now, I'm even more excited about getting out and exercising more. If it hadn't been for consistently achieving smaller goals.
( 135,145,155 etc), I probably wouldn't have had this breakthrough.

These same principles can work for you in all areas of your personal and professional life. Consistency is the key!

Stress

Ask Glen!

Q. Glen, I am Stressed Out What Can I Do?

A. Being stressed out is no fun. Everyone knows that. But what a lot of people don't know is that in addition to making you feel anxious and irritable, stress can also cause physical issues such as headaches, muscle aches, back pain and sleeping problems—things you might not immediately think of as being caused by stress.
The good news is, there are plenty of easy, healthy ways to help you reduce stress and feel better.

Exercise. Go for a run. Take a hike. Swim some laps. Pretty much any type of physical exercise can help bring down your stress levels and improve your overall sense of well-being. And, of course, exercise is just plain good for you. Remember to talk to your doctor before beginning or changing an exercise routine.

Massage. Shiatsu. Deep tissue. Swedish. Or a good old-fashioned back rub. Whatever kind of massage you prefer, it's one of the more enjoyable ways to reduce anxiety.


Yoga. Hitting the yoga mat is another great way to help manage stress. It can also help you tone your muscles, lose weight, increase flexibility and improve balance.

What it means to feel better.
Feeling better is not just about the pills we take. It's about the choices we make every day—whether it's exercising to reduce stress, getting an extra hour of sleep or making healthier food choices.
