I know how hard it is to focus on yourself, especially when you need it most.  Karen gets big Kudos for taking the Naked Challenge during the Holidays.  It shows a level of commitment and surrender to her goals.  Sometimes we just have to surrender.  I spent an evening out on the town with Karen, Holiday Parties and cheer.  Karen brought along some water in a fancy bottle and stayed focus throughout the night.  Pretty darn impressive for a self proclaimed wine enthusiast.

Watch Karen HERE as she describes her morning on day 3 and Watch Karen HERE as she cheerfully explains the ease of her Challenge.

Anybody want some Green Juice?

Gas and Bloating can occur when you first begin a raw food diet.  It has in the past discouraged many from moving forward.  It is important to consider this discomfort as the build up of a huge release.  When LIVE food causes you tummy pain, think about the fiber and cleansing greens going into the body providing movement for old residual waste.

Watch Karen HERE as she takes on Day 2 with enthusiasm and humor…

Hunger is not an issue when doing the Naked Challenge.  Karen had two very large Green Smoothies and a wonderful Sea Weed Wrap, detox tea and water.

She ate when she was hungry and didn’t feel the need for much more.

She did express that her belly felt distended and she was having some gurgling and “backwards burps”

As witnessed with Ryan, a healing crisis may occur, I think for Karen it is going to be in the belly…..

Time will tell..

On the first day of “The Naked Challenge” we measured Karen to see what visible changes can be made in the 10-day challenge

Karen calls her belly her Champagne Cork, I’m really not sure what that means, but it sounds funny enough for me to share

On Day 1, she has a 34 inch waist

Karen started her day off with the Morning Glory Smoothie, her first liquid meal that wasn’t wine.  Although she doesn’t claim to have a need for Caffeine, I thought we would ease her into the first day.  Watch Karen HERE as she indulges in her “coffee house” treat.

After a rigorous workout, Karen pops into make her second liquid meal of the day.  With Fruits and veggies blended together, Karen is excited about the taste of her afternoon treat.  Watch Karen HERE make her Beauty Smoothie.

A wrap and a salad for later in the day.  She is complete…and ready for bed.

We will follow her progress through each day….. as Karen changes transforms herself ONE meal at a time.

In health and Love,

Diana

Watching her transformation is going to be fun:

Breakfast:  oatmeal with Honey and Coffee

Lunch : Mushroom Fajita w

Dinner:  Curry Vegetable stir fry.

Karen is a meat eater, wine drinker and creative cook
By eliminating meat and dairy, Karen found ways to make vegetarian sandwiches and wraps.
Once she eliminated Wheat and processed flour she turned to creative stir fry’s and soups.

Only one more day…..

Before we begin…

THE NAKED CHALLENGE

In health and Love,

The “Girl on Girl” Naked challenge is an intimate and humorous approach for real women to feel the support that only women can feel with another woman. Karen has volunteered to be on camera as she transforms herself in 10 days.  Watch Karen as she unveils the beauty beyond the “puff” “poof” or what ever it is that seems to be weighing her down.  In her 45 years, Karen has never dieted before.  She was blessed with a wonderful metabolism that carried her for many years.  She has no ailments, and  no complaints.  Wherever you are in your process, you will find that a huge shift can happen in 10 days.  I interviewed Karen to see where she is mentally for her challenge ahead.   Watch karen HERE as she describes what it will take for her to be happy with how she looks.

After Karen committed to herself, I checked in with her to see if she was ready to roll.  She share her weaknesses, and her average diet before getting Naked.  She was given her first challenge  in this video.  Watch HERE the Bacon loving goddess commit to going Vegan for 6 days.  Without any other guidance than NO meat, and NO dairy, I asked Karen to document her choices in photos.

Breakfast:  Coffee with Honey (no dairy/cream)  Sprouted toast with Jelly (no butter)

Lunch: Green Salad with Croutons and Ranch?   That would not be Vegan

Snack:  Fig Newtons-  Maybe she was thinking “fruit”?

Dinner:  Veggie Burger- looks like Butter on the bun ?

The first thing that happens when we begin to  strip away the foods that weigh us down, is we are not sure what to eat.

We navigate through old patterns and try to find a way to fit in our new way of eating.   I think she is doing a great job.  It’s certainly not BACON

It is easy to get caught in a cycle of negative talk and self-criticism. It is likely that a lot of people finished their feast of thanks last night and began the cycle of self-doubt, judgment and punishment. “I’m stuffed, why did I eat so much?” is what some of us say, but I’m guessing there are worse words out there. ☺ These harsh words or thoughts that ring in our ears are incredibly powerful suggestions to our cells to hold fear and anger, thus inhibiting flow and transformation.

But how can a word change our cells?

It’s amazing that a simple word can change the molecular structure of anatomy. Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of  Messages from Water proved this in a series of experiments that positive words and prayers change the molecules in water. Yogis and yoginis all over the world have transformed their bodies and minds through breath and prayer. Positive thought patterns create positive results.

For those who were amazed by the movie What the Bleep Do We Know? and those who felt it was pseudo-scientific, your results will reflect your beliefs. Personally, I choose to believe there is something greater than me, something greater than the knowledge that we have so far. If we were all to be fixated on only the science we know NOW, would Steve Jobs have ever created Apple? There is no cost in believing that anything is possible.

So, try creating positive thought patterns by saying words that inspire and provoke thoughtful behavior along with affirmations that keep you focused in the NOW, that motivate your true nature to be in harmony with itself.

• Pick words that resonate with you.
• Say simple and short words with a repetitive flow.
• Keep them in the present not the past or future.

I love this Ho’oponopono Cleansing Mantra: ”I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you and I thank you.”

Begin each morning with a cleansing mantra and continue with positive words. Say these words out loud, whisper them under your breath, or quietly and secretively let them repeat themselves in your mind until they are comfortable and believable to you.

I have placed more than a hundred WORDS in my members area for you to say and reflect upon.
If you find yourself caught in negative self-talk go to this section in The Naked Zone and zone out in positive thought patterns.

In health and love,
Diana

A bright and sunny new brother.

And this is what he said to me…

• My body is functioning on a higher level

• My 5 mile runs are faster
• I have more energy and strength
• My sense of smell is greater
• I need less sleep to function
• Multi-tasking is easier

All because I “Got Naked”…

Many people who start a detox feel worse before they feel better. Know that it is only temporary and well worth it.
Some people get to an uncomfortable day where they may have stomach issues, headaches or an increase in mucous, and claim that it was a lot easier when they were living on fast and processed foods. But, truth is, once you push through the pain, and peel back each layer, it just gets better and better.

Watch Ryan Here as he pushed through a tough Day 11 and found Day 12 to be full of energy and lightness.

What we are witnessing during Ryan’s Challenge is that by simply removing the foods that weigh him down, he is eliminating old toxic waste.  His body is going through a series of symptoms that are purely related to issues that have built up over time.  We have seen physical (pain), mental  (headaches and cognitive strength and weakness) and  Emotional (anger) changes over the past 10 days.. His sniffles and lung issues this morning were just another layer of detoxification. Watch Ryan HERE as he describes his morning.

Ryan set out on a brisk walk today that normally would not induce a sweat, but today was different, he was flushing.  As he describes it, he was wet from head to toe.  Surprised at his own release, he is becoming more aware of the signs of detoxification.  He is trained to think that when a symtom arises, he would assume that there was a virus or bug in his system, but  is now noticing that the body releases through the skin, the mucous membrane, emotions, sweat, joints, and the list goes on.  Watch Ryan HERE as he describes the rest of his day.

I think Ryan is beginning to crave the Green Juices

That is exactly what Ryan is doing.  He cannot believe how many greens and vegetables he is consuming.  Watch Ryan HERE as he gets ready to prepare his Salad in a blender.  (Fresh greens with fruits) And, that is truly what Getting Naked is all about.  He has taken out the “know-no’s” in his diet and replaced them with healthful greens, smoothies, salads, soups, wraps and juices.  It may seem like bird food at first, but the one thing we haven’t heard Ryan say is that he is hungry.  He is completely satisfied and energized.  When he is hungry he eats.  He is just choosing plant-based foods.  It really is that simple.  Doesn’t he look good?

Day 9 has been a great day for me.  Ryan was feeling so clear headed that he completely re-arranged my garage.  Yep, when I get home I will get to witness the fruits of his labor.  A cleaned and organized work space and storage area along with my new sling yoga attached to the ceiling.  This is going to be so much fun.

n health and Love,
