I've become a health nut!  If you're gonna enjoy the outdoors it pays to be in good health and in shape so these are some WEIGHT LOSS TIPS I've put together for you all!  Hope you enjoy and can benefit from them!!!  Hunting season is almost here!

1.  Get the toxins out of your home which can be in cleaning products, soaps, make-up, etc.  Toxins will negatively affect your body in many ways but one that specifically affects women is that toxins can give women thyroid problems causing them to gain weight and not be able to lose it.

2.  Eat well balanced healthy meals.  Try decreasing the size of the plates you eat on so if you feel like clearing off your whole plate you trick your mind into feeling accomplished and eating smaller portions on a smaller plate. 

3.  Don't starve yourself, this will slow down your metabolism and your metabolism burns fat.  Don't go over 4 hrs without eating a healthy snack or meal.  GC CONTROL shakes are a patented shake that helps to regulate your insulin response in your body so you don't get in those snack cravings, as well as helps your mood swings stay minimized due to the peaks and valleys of your bodies insulin response.  When your bodies insulin levels are out of whack your body will tell itself to start retaining weight so make sure this is in control.  The other shake we've found to help with food cravings in between healthy meals is ATTAIN CRAVEBLOCKER which helps you feel full so you don't overeat.

4.  Take a regular fiber supplement to help clean out your system and get the toxins and bad cholesterol out of your body.  Good fiber will also help you to increase your metabolism so you can burn fat more easily throughout the day.  Many fiber supplements we've tried will make you feel gassy and bloated though.  The best one that we have found is called FIBERWISE which has 7 sources of soluble and insoluble fiber and you won't get the bloated, gassy side effects afterwards.

5.  Good fat helps to burn up bad fat so take your Omega 3's, the best one we've found that tastes good and doesn't give you a fishy aftertaste is VITALITY OMEGA 3 CREME DELIGHT.

6.  75% of weight loss is nutrition based and 25% is fitness and exercise.

7.  Muscle is a fat burning machine, the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn so focus more on strength training than cardio when you are focused on loosing weight.

8.  When you feel healthy you are more likely to stay healthy.  Take a daily vitamin that is proven to absorb in your body which will give you more energy and help your body function properly making you feel and be more healthy.  Just because your vitamins are soluble doesn't mean your body will absorb them.  The number one most absorbing vitamin technology in the world that is protected by patents is a technology called OLIGO.  This technology mimics the way you're body gets minerals and nutrients naturally so make sure your vitamins and supplements have the OLIGO technology.

9.  Creatine and Amino Acids will help you build muscle fast if you work out regularly.  Don't take them if you aren't going to be working out regularly and make sure to drink lots of water.  The most pure, best tasting, and inexpensive that we have found are called VITALITY ELEVATE PURE CREATINE AND VITALITY ELEVATE AMINO BOOST

10.  Good protein after you work out will help you build muscle as well.  There are 20 gram and 30 gram protein shakes that we recommend and seem to be the most pure, best tasting, and inexpensive out there that are called VITALITY ELEVATE ULTRA PERFORMANCE PROTEIN.

11.  Establish long term weight loss habits that you can do day in and day out rather than only short term challenges that will burn you out over time.  Keep the weight off by making those long term habits.

12.  Set goals for yourself and have someone that you can be accountable to for those.  One of my goals is to be in shape for hunting season in a few months!

13.  Take a probiotic to keep the good bacteria in your body which will help increase your metabolism.

14.  Get 7-8 hrs of sleep each day which will also help increase your metabolism and make you feel energized.

15.  Drink at least 64oz. of water each day.  As you sweat your body looses electrolytes that can't be replaced with just water so the best thing we have found is called SUSTAIN SPORT which is a powder you dump in your water that has twice the electrolytes as Gatorade and a lot less sugar.  It tastes awesome too, go with the Grapefruit flavor if you're unsure.  You will definitely feel more hydrated.  Your body needs these electrolytes to keep it going right.

Radley Jay Buxton from the Teton Valley Clan

Welcome to my new blog! I've always had a passion for the outdoors and business among many other things and this is where I can post all those things that are too long for Facebook.  Thanks for stopping by to check it out.  Just a little about me for those of you who don't know is I grew up farming and ranching in Driggs, Idaho (Teton Valley).  I still remember when we got the first stop light in town and all the buzz about what it meant for our little valley.  I never thought I'd leave Teton Valley but then left in 2005 to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Indiana Indianapolis Mission.  One of the best experiences of my life!  When I returned home I tried my hand at many things including ranching, farming, construction, real estate, horse training, finance and a few other business ventures.  I married the prettiest gal I ever did see and moved away from the changing Teton Valley economy and lifestyle and became a banker in Idaho Falls and Rigby, Idaho trying to make a little bit more money than riding horses and moving irrigation pipe allowed.  I became an auctioneer on the side as well and started looking for a lifestyle like the farm and ranch gave me where I could provide for a family and have the flexibility to pursue my goals and dreams on my terms!  I left the banking world about 6 months ago and haven't looked back since and am able to enjoy working from home and helping others reach their own goals through alternative income strategies. I'm finally able to get back on track and back to what I was made for; being in the outdoors, helping others, and spending time with family!
