Lean Trim Diana Here! Good Morning! It's raining out! Good, we need it. Couldn't go back to sleep so it's time for my morning Mocha Coffee, yum! Sugar in it? NOooooo! I love the taste and no sugar:) My products help control my sugar cravings and food cravings so I make better choices. www.leantrimcoffee.info Why no sugar. Here is what I found out.
Want lasting energy? Less belly fat?
Younger-looking skin? Of course you do! Here's all the motivation you need to
break up with the sweet stuff.
Kicking a sugar habit is challenging—even for the most
strong-willed among us. See, research has found that sugar tricks your brain
into wanting more and more of it. But there's good news. A little sweetness is
okay—emphasis on little. The American Heart Association recommends no more than
six teaspoons of added sugar a day for women. Also okay: the sugar found in
whole foods like fruits and veggies, says Kimber Stanhope, PhD, a nutritional
biologist at the University of California, Davis. "These naturally occurring
sugars come packaged with good-for-you vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other
nutrients." But if you can dial back your intake of added sugar, she says,
you'll start to rack up some amazing health benefits. In fact, the perks of the
less-sugar life are so good, we think they'll motivate you to try to cut it
(mostly) out.'
If you're ready to win
the battle against the sweet stuff, here's a quick look at Body Ecology's top
tips to end sugar cravings:

6 Really Good Things That Happen
to Your Body When You Quit Sugar:
Winning businesses over and keeping them engaged isn’t easy when you’re a small- or medium-business (SMB). The business-to-business (B2B) sales cycle has slowed down drastically since the reduction of in-person, relationship-based sales.
While this has led to buyers ultimately making more informed decisions based on the product or service, it’s left B2B SMBs wondering how to stand out. Only 29 percent of B2B customers are engaged with the companies they do business with, according to Gallup.
While countless nuanced strategies exist to win and retain B2B customers, these six tips will form the foundation any SMB needs to be successful.
1) Make Your Website Easy to Navigate
The days of your company being propped up by a talented team of traveling sales professionals are long gone. These days, potential business partners are discovered online, and your website is the portal that makes or breaks your efforts. If someone visits your site and has a poor experience, they’ll likely leave with a negative impression of your brand. It’s that simple. If your current website is a detractor, learn how to make your own website without coding it yourself. Website services that offer customizable themes are more affordable and easier to change. It’s a no-brainer for any SMB with little bandwidth.
2) Tell Your Brand’s Story
Unless you operate in an incredibly specific niche, chances are there are other companies that offer a product or service similar to yours. To stand out, you need to highlight why your company is unique. Why should other businesses want to partner with you? Your brand is what sets your company apart. Your content is the vehicle to compel customers. If you stick with a strategy that differentiates your SMB, other businesses will take notice.
3) Engage Through Email Marketing
Email marketing is a must for any SMB. Not only is it one of the more effective marketing channels, generating around $44 of revenue per $1 spent, it’s also easy to measure. Email marketing yields twice the ROI as cold calling. It can also get your content shared by decision makers: 72 percent of B2B buyers are most likely to share useful content via email, according to the Earnest Agency.
4) Provide Value on Forums
Sites like Reddit and Quora are hugely popular for finding information. Reddit has over 600,000 subreddits (communities), meaning there’s probably at least a few of them relevant to your niche. Over 3,500 questions a day are being asked on Quora about a variety of topics.
All sorts of people use these sites, including B2B decision makers. Become an authority on these forums about the topics you know. Don’t go overboard promoting your company. A simple title and company reference on Quora, or a link back to your business – if it’s relevant to your answer on Reddit – can go a long way in terms of driving organic traffic and spreading brand awareness. When we get help, we often remember the source. Providing a valuable perspective on forums is no different.
5) Don’t Forget the Trade Shows
It’s easy to want to shift your lead generation efforts online and focus solely on email. However, no marketing tactic has replaced the opportunity trade shows offer: to be in the same room with hundreds or thousands of your target customers. Trade shows are still the top source of B2B lead generation: with 77 percent of marketers saying trade shows generate a significant quantity of leads; and 82 percent saying they generate high-quality leads, according to MarketingSherpa.
6) Use Social Media Strategically
Social media isn’t as important a channel for B2B companies as it is for business-to-consumer (B2C). But engagement opportunities still exist on select social media platforms, like LinkedIn. In fact, LinkedIn’s responsible for more than 80 percent of a B2B’s social media leads! By providing valuable answers to people’s questions (like with forums but briefer) or posting content in specific groups, you can spread brand awareness. When you share content on your business’ main page that people engage with, you’ve just upped your credibility and authority as a company. Of course, LinkedIn can also be used in its true initial sense: identifying potential leads and reaching out.
These strategies, while effective, take time to plan and execute. Focus on perfecting your website and brand story. Once those are dialed in, go full steam ahead with the next four tips.

We know; we have a LOT of amino acid products to choose from. In part one of The BCAA Bible, we covered the benefits of aminos and when to take them. Now, let’s break down each of our supplements so you can pick the one that’s best for you.
BEST BCAA™
Best BCAA™ uses oligopeptide-enzymatic technology, a bonded chain of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): leucine, isoleucine and valine. This technology may act as a better transport vehicle for faster absorption, which means a faster recovery. This best-selling formula is the base for the next four products. Take Best BCAA™before, during or after your workout to build and maintain lean muscle, promote recovery and support performance.
BEST BCAA SHREDDED™
In addition to BCAAs, Best BCAA Shredded™ contains carnitine, citrulline and grains of paradise. These ingredients promote performance, endurance and fat burning so you can sculpt a more defined physique. Take Best BCAA Shredded™ before your fasted cardio for the best results.
BEST BCAA™ W/ ENERGY
This energy-boosting formula contains citrulline, tyrosine, green tea, caffeine and Alpha GPC. Best used as a low-stim pre-workout or midday pick-me-up, Best BCAA™ w/ Energy helps support energy, focus, and endurance.
BEST BCAA™ SOFT DRINK SERIES
The Soft Drink Series uses the same ingredients as the original Best BCAA™, but it differs in that each flavor is lightly carbonated, for a refreshing soda-like fizz! Choose from Root Beer, Cream Soda, Orange Soda or Grape Soda. Due to the carbonation, the Soft Drink Series is best enjoyed after your workout.
BEST AMINOS™
The only difference between Best Aminos™ and Best BCAA™ is where it’s sold. While Best BCAA™ is available at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC, Best Aminos™ can be found in less fitness-specific retailers like Walmart, Kroger and other grocery stores.
This variation contains essential amino acids (EAAs), creatine, citrulline and betaine, all anchored by a liposomal matrix delivery system. The ingredients combine to form a 3-in-1 formula that supports strength, muscle building, performance and recovery. The delivery system may enhance absorption and bioavailability.
BEST AMINOS™ LIQUID WATER ENHANCER
Get the muscle and recovery support you love in a convenient, squeezable bottle. The Liquid Water Enhancers are designed to make supplementation easier. Just squeeze your favorite Best Aminos™ flavor into your water bottle and you’re ready to go.
This amino supplement combines essential amino acids (EAAs) with citrulline and other ingredients to promote recovery, performance and lean muscle growth. It may also help reduce muscle soreness after an intense workout.
If your goal is weight loss, this might be the amino supplement for you. CLA supports lean muscle, just like amino acids. The MCTs in coconut oil help your body burn fat for fuel and may support cardiovascular health. Combined with the proper diet and exercise regimen, these three ingredients promote overall health and fat loss.
KETO AMINOS™
Keto Aminos™ is the official supplement of fasted cardio. Although it was created for those on a ketogenic diet, anyone can reap the benefits. The BHB salts act as exogenous ketones, fueling your brain and body to help burn fat for fuel without breaking down muscle.

The answer is no. No doubt what you learn from combative arts classes could be used for self-defense but they are just not self-defense. In reality, what you have learnt from the martial arts classes have nothing to do with the realities of protecting your personal safety. But again, we constantly attempt to find out what is the best combative arts for someone to learn about self-defense.
Realize this, if self-defense is what you are looking for, most of the martial arts school will not be able to offer you that, especially on staying safe in a modern urban environment. You may ask why do you say so?

1. Self-defence has something to do with "defusing violence".
Violence can originate from an argument, physical contact, a date rape, a drunk friend, a fight, etc. They are all violence. Do you know that these pose different problems and there are different solutions?. How many martial arts school's syllabus actually teach the students about how to response to such a situation? Do you think by breaking board will help you in "defusing violence"? Different violent situations will require different levels of response. You will learn such level of response in self-defense lessons but not combative arts.
2. Martial arts emphasis on fighting style.
As you know each violence situation differs, self-defense is the answer in dealing with it. Remember this, what works for one situation may not work for another. Martial arts emphasis on fighting style. Form is more important than substance. But for self-defence, your personal safety is the priority. You learn how to defuse violence or getting out of that situation. It encompasses common sense, habits, lifestyle, alertness etc.
3. Martial arts are training but not education on how to deal with violence.
Martial arts are training and sports. People constantly mistaken it for education. Self-defence by its very nature addresses specific conditions and problems. Do you think the SWAT officer's high risk entry training is of good help in controlling a drunk in a bar? Of course not. The training that works for such an officer doesn't work for you as well. Self defence requires education and training. In combative arts, you will learn very specific things, however, that surely doesn't mean that you are prepared to handle all violence situations. You need to be educated about what martial art techniques can be used for self-defence in each and every different circumstances.
You must know that most martial arts have become sports regardless their combative history or self-defence use they claim. There' is a huge difference between sport fighting and defensive movement. If you still think that any martial art could be used for self-defence then you are exposing yourself to the danger.
