As the years pass, every October we binge watch scary movies both new and old. Movie night isn't movie night without snacks all within arms reach of you and the couch, Am I right? Screams & Snacks go hand in hand.  Snacks like warm buttery popcorn, chocolate in all forms, chips, or even a couple pizzas.. and if your watching with friends or family, snacks might be all of those things. I don't recall ever watching a scary movie without having something to snack on while cuddling under a warm blanket.  

Those snacks are what I call "mindless calories" calories we consume without giving it a second thought. Calories that add up and add up real quick. These are snacks that you just can't pass up.. at least thats what you tell yourself. These are snacks that lead to the extra pounds you are about to put on this fall season. ​Movie night, Halloween candy, Tailgating, Thanksgiving all things to give into this fall season. 

BUT do you have to really give into weight gain? No You Don't.. Simply Skinny to the rescue yet again! I hate to sound like a broken record, especially if you have read any of my posts but the truth is the truth. Simply Skinny product allow you to still have movie night snacks, you just won't overindulge like you normally would and snack on everything the entire movie. I am not saying you are going to take this "miracle pill" and not snack on 1 thing. What I am saying is you may just end up eating a few here and there and realize you really don't want it or have a taste for it and not eat anymore, this is the typical reported action customers find themselves doing. In turn, Instead of gaining weight, your losing weight or maintaining depending on your goal. 

So go ahead, cue up your Netflix and get ready to Scream and Snack ;) ! 

Fall and Winter are found to be the worst months for those trying to lose weight with both men and women actally gaining approximately 5 - 7 lbs instead. Most people think that the majority of weight gain comes during the winter months, when in fact it is during the fall months that are the most destructive. Which makes complete sense with those going on post-christmas diets in January and losing an average of 3 lbs. 

I have found for me that alternating from month to month between the two helps me avoid hitting a weight loss plateau. Taking these products helps me with 3 main things; (1) They suppress my appetite so that I am not eating out of sheer boredom, (2) They help me get full faster which in turn has cut my portion sizes way down (less calorie intake), (3) They control my cravings for sweets. With Halloween being right around the corner, having a huge bowl of candy is a temptation all in itself. However, we do have some real handy tips when it comes to avoiding treats. 

I love Fall, I love food, I love comfort foods even more.. I just don't love how my clothes fit after I have overindulged time and time again and with my Simply Skinny® I can still enjoy all the things I love..  I just love them in moderation!

As I began to decide on this weeks blog.. I was eating a Chocolate Muffin and that led me to think about how stuffed I was last night after dinner because we "had" to order appetizers.. BUT did we have to or was it that we just wanted to? The answer is obvious.. well of course we "had" to because at the Green Turtle, they have the best appetizers around! 

Oh and let me just add that we couldn't just get one appetizer.. because they are just so yummy, we had to order 4! Now mind you, it was just the three of us and we knew ahead of time that we were not going to be able to eat all of this amazing food. Myself,  I had taken my Simply Skinny® Pollen and just should've known I was never going to be able to indulge like I really wanted to. My taste buds were ready to just savor all these delicious flavors but my belly would never allow me to eat the way I really wanted to.. Thank Goodness! However, that did not stop me from ordering my favorites, the Fried Mozzarella and Fries. 

While we were still eating on our appetizers the waitress came back around and asked if we had decided on our main course. I spoke up and said YES ;) I ordered the Cajun Pasta with Shrimp and added Lump Crab.. I just love seafood and pasta, I quickly told her!! I was obviously excited about eating, and as you can probably see why.. looks amazing right! 

When I was developing the Simply Skinny® weight loss product line, I thought of myself because I am that average person who has struggled with that love/hate relationship I have with food and weight. I needed something that was going to decrease my appetite and cut my cravings for sweets (that's a whole other blog post) all while boosting my metabolism and burn fat for weight loss. So I personally tested each and every product alongside my product testers because if this was going to be a product that I owned, it was going to be a product that worked! 

Yesterday at Green Turtle, sitting in front of all that food, that my mind and taste buds so really wanted.. I was so thankful that I took my two little pills that morning! They Work and not only can I attest to that fact, all the testimonies our customers give us on a daily basis allow the products to speak for themselves!

If this sounds like you and you are someone that needs that extra help to eat less and lose weight.. it's ok, we have that help. Check us out! www.DownToEarth-Solutions.com

Whether you already knew it or not.. Bee pollen is a powerful superfood which has been scientifically documented and proven as a resource for general physical and sexual health in both men and women. Its nutritional properties are simply just amazing and the benefits are a mile long. It is also full of all the vitamins and minerals that support a healthy sex drive and keep sexual organs in top working order – such as antioxidants, vitamin E, iron, zinc, magnesium, and selenium, just to name off a few. Below are just a few of the named benefits we have found relating to Bee Pollen. 

Benefits For Men

• Zinc and sex drive are powerfully linked, as a natural libido booster being packed with zinc, makes it an incredible super food for men’s sex lives.
• Bee pollen has been found to have a dramatic effect on sperm count and increased fertility. Results of tests have showed that sperm swam faster, were more viable and lasted longer.
• One particular problem that affects many men and sex is prostate inflammation, this often approaches as men reach middle age. Enlarged prostates can cause pain and burning that can make sex very painful and undesirable. Bee pollen has been found to ease the pain of inflammation and helps to shrink the prostate, making sex enjoyable again.

​
Benefits For Women

• Severe menstrual problems and the unpleasant symptoms of menopause can often affect a woman’s sex life. Taking bee pollen every day has been shown to ease and control these problems.
• Studies have shown that a high percentage of post-menopausal women and women with hysterectomies reported renewed enjoyment of sex with their husbands after taking bee pollen.
• For women with fertility problems trying to conceive, Bee Pollen has been shown to increase levels of estrogen, which stimulates ovarian function.
• Lack of energy adversely affects a woman's' libido. While it does contain powerful antioxidants, the predigested sugar in bee pollen is rapidly turned into glycogen in the bloodstream, nourishing muscle cells and tissues. The other vitamins and minerals help provide sustained energy, and coming from a 100% natural source, you will never experience the unpleasant ‘highs and lows’ which come from quick energy fixers. 
• For many women, weight problems are an issue that can affect sexual desire. Bee pollen is well known to increase the metabolism of your body, making it capable of burning more calories than normal. Bee Pollen also controls the appetite and hunger, and due to the lecithin in pollen, you are less likely to regain the weight once you have lost it. Lecithin is also responsible for flushing out fat cells.

It is quite obvious that stress and a busy lifestyle can be detrimental to a healthy sex life for both men and women, we have all been there... Increased energy is one of a long list of benefits of taking bee pollen. Bee pollen also contains amino acids, essential fatty acids and important vitamins and minerals that help enhance mood and fight stress.. and with a busy lifestyle, we all need a stress reliever!
​
Don't allow your sexual problems to put your physical, emotional and mental health in jeopardy. A simple, natural solution to lack of energy, stress, and sex drive.. not to mention the need for losing weight is Simply Skinny Pollen or Simply Skinny Gold. Both products contain Bee Pollen as well as other natural and manmade ingredients that contain their own benefits.
