Wellness For Life! Will Media Ignore This New CDC Study About Soda 🥤 and Sleep? And How to Overcome Weight Loss Challenges

 

How to Overcome Weight Loss Challenges

• Author Lim Shady

Weight loss is often more of a challenge than anticipated

You decide to lose weight. That's easy. So you sign up for a gym membership or start a diet program. Even easier. Once you start you find out it isn't easy at all.

Soda drinkers, people who under-sleep and don't exercise regularly are more likely to be hospitalized by the virus compared to those who live healthier lives, new study finds. Support Sleep and Relaxation with this updated Myo Relax by MYOXCIENCE Nutrition

In fact, it's pretty painful, both physically and emotionally. Exhaustion sets in and instead of getting results you wanted, you just want to give up. Maybe you think "well, maybe next year" and old habits resume. Here is the story of nearly every weight loss program ever embarked upon by would-be "losers" who just couldn't bear the "pain" that comes with making it to the goal. What happens? Is it possible to overcome?

Weight loss is painful proportionate to the amount of toxins involved

Weight gain is not a health issue so much as a symptom of one. So-called "foods" which are ingested that are considered toxic by the body accumulate and create havoc through malfunction internally. The body starts to break down from there. In other words, the body falls out of a state of health due to lack of nourishment.

Weight gain is a major symptom of this but other symptoms like aches and pains, tension, stress and many others can also occur. One of the first things that happens when you attempt to lose the weight by eating a more nourishing diet and exercising is that the body begins to let go of those toxins.

Here's what happens.

When the body is exposed to toxins - whether from the food eaten (chemicals, GMO stuff, excess sugars and refined carbs - the list goes on... ) it can get rid of a certain amount through body function, if that body is relatively healthy. However, the body can only offload a certain amount so, in order to protect itself, excess toxins are coated with fat and deposited in the fatty tissue.

That sounds good. But... there's more to it.

Caffeine is one of the most obvious examples of an "addiction" by the body as evidenced by the withdrawal symptoms experienced when stopping its consumption. Any toxin will have this effect on the body. Toxins from processed foods such as diet sodas and packaged, non-whole foods will need to be expelled for health to be restored and those pounds to come off. Withdrawal symptoms abound in many cases.

Here's what happens. When you start losing weight, the body starts detoxifying - the toxins locked up in the fatty tissue are released back into the bloodstream. Whatever those toxic particles are connected to - for example getting drunk in a bar and having a fight with your spouse and/or getting beaten up - whatever the incident is - those emotions, discomforts (physical or emotional) will be re-experienced, unknown to you.

For some people this can be very intense or very uncomfortable or even painful.

That's when many give up the weight loss decision.

Withdrawal doesn't have to be very painful at all

One of the characteristics of withdrawal is the depletion of minerals from the body. Deficiencies are created by the detoxification process which is where all the pain and discomfort can come in. This is where calcium and magnesium, once again, come into play most vitally. Maintaining these levels is ever more important in the detoxification process as well as recovery from exercise. This is paramount because here we have the foremost reasons people give up on weight loss. These mineral levels can be the difference between success and failure.

How to achieve weight loss for real without quitting

While there is still some mental challenge to it, there does not have to be any pain in achieving weight loss and there could be a reduction in the mental challenge too. With proper minerals, exercise and a diet rich in whole foods, not processed, success can be gained and goals can be reached in fact.

As a detox specialist, I have seen many people helped to get through these discomforts with the right diet and correct calcium and magnesium in balance and with the right pH.I am always happy to help you. My wish for you is a happy, healthy body. You CAN do it and that's my wish for you.

Who is Attorney Andrew Branca? Does His Opinion Matter?

by Matthew Maruster 

Attorney Andrew Branca is making waves with his daily analysis of the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial. National mainstream media news even are asking that he share his legal opinions on this volatile case. For many, Attorney Branca's name might be new. However, to us at Concealed Carry, Atty. Branca has long been known for his expertise in the area of self-defense law.

The not-guilty verdicts on all counts against Kyle Rittenhouse may surprise some.

And truthfully, we never know what a jury will find, but Attorney Branca's daily coverage of the trial pointed to this acquittal as a rational evidence-supported outcome.

Who is Andrew Branca?

I am not writing a biography on the man. However, it is probably appropriate to establish a little background as to why his legal opinion would matter in the least.

Atty. Branca's understanding of self-defense law comes from his 30 plus years of legal work in the state of Massachusetts. This recent interest in Atty. Branca isn't new for the national media. Over the years, outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post have referred to Branca's thoughts on legal self-defense issues.

Andrew is an occasional Guest Instructor and subject matter expert (SME) on self-defense law at the following:

• Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Academy at Quantico
• And the Sig Sauer Academy

Andrew has been the legal expert co-host on the Outdoor Channel's TV show The Best Defense.

Attorney, Author, Instructor:

Attorney Branca's the author of a book titled The Law of Self Defense Principles. This is the book I repeatedly refer others to as the most thorough yet easy-to-understand explanation of self-defense law.

In addition to Andrew's book, his online and DVD courses of the same name provide incredible insight and teaching, critical for concealed carriers' understanding of crucial legal self-defense law. While Branca practices law in Massachusetts, he's put together supplemental courses for each state in the country explaining the various statutes and case law pertaining specifically to that state's self-defense law.

Andrew Branca has carefully constructed an instructor program and other courses to help grasp the complexities of legal self-defense.

Our Respect for Branca's Legal Opinions:

It shouldn't be a surprise that a significant percentage of our audience are folks who carry a firearm for self-defense. We always suggest that you seek competent legal representation if you have legal questions about your state's self-defense laws and how the court has applied them in actual cases.

That said, Attorney Branca's legal opinions are sound, and he explains them with logical reasoning. That is to say, his books and instruction are instrumental and provide an invaluable foundation for an understanding of self-defense law.

As a site that tries to provide a wealth of instructional information to our audience, we've been a conduit for Andrew's expert legal analysis.

Andrew Branca Has appeared as a guest on our highly ranked Concealed Carry Podcast. Here are just some of the episodes:

Episode 148 – Discussing Stand Your Ground Law

Episode 212 – Self-Defense Law Q&A

Episode 330 – Legal Q&A with Andrew Branca and Chad Enos

Episode 440 – The Gray Area, When You Can Make Threats With a Gun

Finally:

I hope this post helps you learn more about Attorney Branca and why experts like Massad Ayoob wrote the forward to Andrew's The Law of Self Defense book.

What's more, the legal team at CCW Safe, my recommendation for the best self-defense legal defense organization, respects his opinions on self-defense law, and syndicate some of his trial coverage.

I'll close with Attorney Branca's catchphrase:

How to Create a Pick-and-Roll Offense

• By Brandon Ogle
 

---

Due to a variety of reasons, basketball has become more up-tempo over the years. Coaches have become enthused with the use of speed to take advantage of opponents and create more fast breaks. Perhaps no one has adopted this philosophy to a greater degree than former NBA head coach Mike D’Antoni. His pick-and-roll offense first gained prominence with Steve Nash’s Phoenix Suns and then later in New York with the Knicks.

Seven Seconds or Less Principle

One of the key concepts behind Mike D’Antoni’s offense was this idea of the seven seconds or less principle. It has been well documented and was even the subject of the book, :07 Seconds or Less, which was released in 2006 telling the story of these run and gun Suns. This principle centers on the mindset that while there are good shots, there is always a better shot. Further, when you play offense at such a high-tempo, the defense doesn’t have time to get set. If you take too long to get a shot off, the defense can get set up like they’ve planned. When utilized effectively, there are usually fewer turnovers since fewer passes will be thrown (hence, only 7 seconds are used). While some may argue that this run-and-gun approach takes away from the traditional values of playing in half-court sets, it has been proven to work at all levels.

Relying on Speed

If you don’t have speed and quickness on your team, then the pick-and-roll offense will likely not be as effective.

D’Antoni’s teams were often quicker than the other teams. It’s not that other NBA teams weren’t conditioned enough to compete with the Suns, rather D’Antoni had his players operating on the mindset that they needed to get the ball up the floor as quick as possible. Less thinking was required on the players, as they were focused on speed rather than plays. When you’re attacking this quickly, opposing big men have trouble keeping up. For coaches out there that may suffer from a size advantage, this offense will work for you because it combats many of the strengths of having a bigger team. Ultimately, it is a way for smaller teams to put paint points on the board.

Presence of Pure Shooters

A short look through the stats of the 2005 Suns reveals they had plenty of three point shooters. Quentin Richardson, Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion, Steve Nash, Leandro Barbosa, and Jim Jackson made up the list of these long-range bombers. The reason why the utilization of these players is so important is because it is an aspect that was missing for so long from the up-tempo offenses. This concentration of perimeter players allows a team to capitalize on nearly every fast break opportunity. In the end, the fast break situation will play out like this: The ball-handler races up the floor to attack the paint. While the opposing big men are still on their way down the court, the backpedaling wings will most likely collapse in the paint to get in front of the charging ball-handler. With this being the case, the ball-handler can either attack the wings to draw a foul or kick it out to one of the sharpshooters around the arc.

Making the Defense Commit

In all of the situations dealing with up-tempo and pick-and-roll offenses, the defense will have to decide how to react. An article from Knicker Blogger brings up some of the various decisions a team can make in response to the frequent pick-and-rolls in D’Antoni’s offense utilizing the point guard (Raymond Felton) and heavily-used post player (Amare Stoudemire).

Big Shows: Here, Stoudemire’s man comes out and shows, thus preventing an easy jumper from Felton off the screen. However, Stoudemire’s speed allows him to get to the hoop quicker. A simple pass over the top or lob can take advantage of this. If a third defender helps, Stoudemire will have an open shooter somewhere around the arc.

Big and Small Switch: When this happens, the point guard (Felton) is able to have a situation matched up with a slower big. His quickness would allow him to either drive to the paint or work the big in a one-on-one situation to get a medium range jumper.

Big Stays with Big: In a situation like this, Felton would immediately be able to go around the screen ahead of the trailing guard. With the opposing big stuck to Stoudemire, a third defender will collapse on Felton’s drive. Then, Felton utilizes his decision making to find an open shooter.

Big Splits the Difference: The last decision would be for the defense to leave the big closer to the basket and not attack the pick and roll. However, here if either of the players can knock down a long-range jumper, it would be available.

As seen with these numerous different decisions, the key is to make the defense decide first before the offense reacts. The speed and presence of shooters allows the offense to have more ways to react on any given play.

Crucial Chemistry

As with any aspect of basketball, players must have chemistry with their teammates to be efficient and effective. Through practice with each other, it becomes easier to understand tendencies and preferences. More than ever, in a pick-and-roll offense, players have to know where guys like to spot up. Even though I mentioned spot-up shooters as being essential, there are going to be guys that tend to evaporate towards the corners on fast breaks. As for teams at lower levels, not all of the point guards will have the ability to handle the ball effectively with both hands. To assist the point guard, teams must design pick-and-rolls that play to the dominant hand to open up either driving lanes to that side or passing opportunities.

Dynamite Scorer Not Needed Necessarily

One of the benefits to this type of offense is that you don’t need a guy who can score on their own. While this may be nice when the shot clock is ticking down, the pick-and-roll offense doesn’t expect to ever be in a situation like this. Rather, the goal is to spread the floor and move the ball around quickly to get an open shot before the defense can get set. So while you don’t need the dynamite scorer, two of the key attributes needed are an intelligent point guard and versatile bigs.

The point guard is relied on to make many decisions over the course of the game, whether it be bringing the ball up on a fast break or evaluating the defense’s approach to a particular pick-and-roll. If your point guard can’t make consistent good decisions and find open shooters, then the pick-and-roll offense will fall flat on its face. Similarly, the bigs are just as important. They can’t be mere post-up players. Instead, they must be able to spread the court and knock down jumpers to keep the defense honest.

Not Many Set Plays

As you can probably guess, this run-and-gun basketball style doesn’t require a lot of set plays. Particularly in the fast break opportunities, teams are looking to find the best shot available in as short a time as possible. However, many of the pick-and-rolls can be set plays. Whether it involves the passes after the initial screen or what the big does on the roll, coaches can offer plenty of flexibility. Despite this, I urge coaches to not be so strict on set plays in this offense. There are so many variables to account for that you can’t possibly instill set plays if you want to take full advantage of your speed.

Still Got to Play Defense

Offense is fun to watch. Every kid wants to be the one that scores baskets. After all, you have to score to win and this is what Mike D’Antoni’s offense is best at. However, when I see this, I keep going back to an old quote. “Offense wins games, defense wins championships.” This mindset of running your opponent off the floor can definitely be effective, but if you can’t defend you aren’t going to win the big one. D’Antoni’s Suns teams never won the championship, but were successful in the regular season. Despite having elite defenders like Shawn Marion, they seemed to struggle against teams that would get up underneath them. For this reason, I would encourage coaches to spend enough time on defensive drills in practice in addition to implementing the high-octane offensive attack. You need to have a couple shutdown defenders to cover the opposing scorers in half-court sets. Remember, the opponents usually aren’t going to be running the pick-and-roll offense, so you’ll have to be able to defend for longer periods in half-court formations.

Understand Your Personnel

Just like any offense, teams must build their offensive strategy around the players they have on the roster. The pick-and-roll offense is a perfect fit for possibly undersized teams that have a smart ball-handler, versatile bigs, and an array of long-range shooters. However, you have to remember offense is only half the game and while Mike D’Antoni’s teams consistently scored the highest points per game, they struggled on the other end. Always think about the full picture!
