Weight Gain and Soda Consumption???
By Dr Vik | February 2, 2012
Here’s the deal:
Regular soft drinks contain large amounts of HFCS – High Frustose Corn Syrup, which impairs the feedback loop to your brain, resulting in you not being able to tell that you are full.
This explains some of the people I coach that drink up to 12 regular sodas a day, and want to cut down….I’ve challenged them to drink the same amount only with water…they can’t come close to the 12 soda amount…they get full.
Diet soft drinks contain artificial sweeteners which have little or no calories yet they tell your body that it has ingested something sweet, and since real sweets come with calories, you will end up searching for calories that were promised and not delivered and overeat in other areas.
So….With regular sodas you drink a lot of calories and can’t tell you’re full whereas with diet sodas you don’t drink the calories, you find them somewhere else. What’s the solution?? You know… Moderation:)

To give or not to give…
By Dr Vik | February 1, 2012
“Giving” is the only word that is on 2 lists, one list being Positive and the other being Negative:
1. Love, gratitude, hope, dreams, passion, GIVING, etc.
2. Hate, anger, resentment, jealousy, contempt, GIVING, etc.
Many people I coach have a challenge with giving too much…time, money, emotion etc. until they feel there is nothing left.
So you can give which is positive or give too much which can be negative. The way around this and to remain “Whole” is that you can “Understand” instead of “Give” for those who seem to continually take and take.
This strategy is not meant to be mean spirited or selfish, it’s to keep you “Whole”, after all, if there is nothing left…there’s nothing left to give.

Take the Time…
By Dr Vik | January 31, 2012
To smell the roses, they say.
In life, we often focus on what we are doing or the task at hand, and occasionally stop and look around but rarely do we see.
The things that we take for granted are the very things we like otherwise they wouldn’t be around us.
Understanding that we have created the things around us and we allow them to stay near, we may want to pay a little more attention to those things, because if they are not recognized or acknowledged, those things
may somehow disappear.
My 14 year old daughter Victoria says it well…”Always appreciate the littlest things in life because you never know what you could lose that’s so precious to you, in the blink of an eye”.
