Today, I wanted to spotlight one of my favorite products that I would not be caught dead without. This product is a supplement called Advanced Formula Fat Fighters. 

This all natural, whole food supplement is perfect going into the holiday season. It will allow you to enjoy some holiday foods without having to feel guilty. They are also good throughout the year when you have a cheat meal or are needing a boost to shed a few pounds.

My Experience with Fat Fighters

 Let me just say that Fat Fighters are amazing! Seriously, y'all, I love these things. Not only do they block some of the carbs and fat from cheat meals, but they also seem to keep me from having that bloated yucky feeling after a carb heavy meal. I have taken them to keep me from gaining weight when I eat cheat meals.

My mom was my 1st loyal customer (see picture below about loyal customer program)  to try these. Her 1st week she only took 1 pill with her heaviest meal of the day and ended up losing around 4 lbs!  Now she only uses them when she over indulges.

I have many loyal customers besides my mom who use and love these little wonders. They have all lost weight or maintained their weight through periods of unhealthy eating. 

Now...please don't take this as me telling you to run out and constantly eat junky, food that is devoid of nutrients. This supplement is meant to be used with the occasional cheat meal, not as a crutch to unhealthy eating. When this product is paired with healthy diet and exercise, it can maximize weightloss. 

Now that you know my secret, how are you going to the bulge this holiday season?

Crustless Quiche: Gluten Free

Some mornings I just want something quick, easy, and healthy for breakfast. This morning was one of those days. I have a ton of veggies that needed to get used, so I was trying to think of what to do with them.

Before we started eating the Trim Healthy Mama way, I would have thrown together a quiche using bisquick and all the veggies. Well, that doesn't work anymore since I've leared it was making me chunky. While drooling over memories of that quiche, I decided to make a crustless, healthy quiche that fits the Trim Healthy Mama guidelines.

Enter this quiche! It used up all my veggies, tastes great, is healthy, and loved by my whole family. My family liking it is a huge thing since my kiddos are picky! For my children I added a side of mixed fruit, and a glass of It Works Greens. This helped them have a meal that was well rounded and full of vitamins and nutrients.

This quiche paired perfectly with my Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte (this morning i left out the protein powder) You can find my latte recipe on my facebook page.

I used raw cheese and cream for this recipe, but you don't have to for it to be tasty. My mixed veggies were: 1/2 red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, spinach, kale, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini,  and black olives.

About Me

      I am a 31 year old mommy to 2 beautiful boys, Jackson age 4 and Harris 1.  I began my healthy living journey just a short time ago. In August of 2013 I began following Trim Healthy Mama which made me very aware of my health and my body. In March of 2014, a fellow Trim Healthy Mama introduced me to It Works which totally changed my life!

 

     After I had my second son, I was stressed and depressed about the way my body looked and felt.  Trim Healthy Mama was helping me to feel better and eat better, but I was looking for a way to get in shape and tighten that loose skin from pregnancy and a c-section. Going to the gym just wasn't something this busy mommy had time for. It Works entered and was an answer to a prayer!

      A friend on facebook had messaged me about this It Works business she started and a challenge that she was doing. She asked if I would be interested, and I figured, what the heck I'll give it a shot.  I signed up as an It Works loyal customer and took before pictures and my measurements before I began the challenge. The pictures alone made me want to run for the hills screaming, so that was definitely my motivation to tone it up!

      I picked the Wraps, Defining Gel, and Greens to use in my challenge plus I was going to work-out daily!  I decided that I was going to give it everything that I had and make a change.  I sat  down with my husband and explained to him how important this challenge was to me.  I explained how I needed to feel better about myself.  I was at my goal weight but my body just didn't look like it used to.  Mitchell agreed to support me and help me with whatever I needed.  After about 3 wraps, I was hooked.  I could see that my body was changing. The best part...I felt amazing!!!

       Now, I get up at 4:30 am to workout. I take Thermofit, Greens, and It's Vital Minerals.  I feel the best that I have ever felt in my life.  I have finished numerous workout programs, and I have actually surpassed what I wanted my body to look like.  It's an amazing feeling to look in the mirror and love the person that you see!

      I loved the products so much that I signed to be a distributor. Today, I am proud to call myself a Wrapologist.  I became a Wrapologist  because I love the products and  have had such amazing results that I wanted to share my successes with others. Helping others achieve their health and fitness goals is such a passion of mine.  Some other Wrapologists and I have even started online challenge groups to inspire others to get healthy, eat clean, lose weight, and feel great. In just 5 short months,  I have been able to help so many people change their lives and get healthy!  I have learned so much over these few months, and  I just want to share it with others!

 

      I truly have found my passion!  I love exercising, clean eating, and healing my family through natural methods .
