The first session, Eat Smart, shrinks the appetite and raises metabolism. This causes the listener to burn more fat as they spread their food intake over several small meals a day.

“Eating slowly”, causes the listener to take more time when they eat. It is a scientific fact that it takes 15 minutes for a full feeling to register in the brain, so this will also help the mind catch up with the body.

Session 3 is a radical session that creates a sensation of a “shrinking stomach” so the person feels that the capacity in their belly has actually shrunk, similar to the way a person who has had their stomach stapled.

Of course, if a person can learn to enjoy their vegetables, they will have a much easier experience with weight loss, and that is what the fourth session deals with. Similarly session five helps a person to enjoy drinking their water. Another proven weight loss supporter. Finally, the Hunger Scale is a program that helps the listener decipher between real hunger signals in their body and when something else, like boredom or emotional eating may be at play.

Hypnosis tends has a cumulative affect. The more a person listens, the better it works. Hypnosis in also helps to relieve stress and anxiety, which is a common cause of weight loss as well as a myriad of other health concerns.

SmashBurger Celebrates Tulsa Arrival with Charitable Giving

New burger restaurant offer diners the opportunity to give back on Saturday, August 8.

Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) July 31, 2009

"Better burger" restaurant Smashburger® is giving its new Tulsa neighbors a chance to give back while enjoying a great meal. The eatery will be donating $1 of every OK Smashburger or OK Smashchicken purchased Saturday, August 8 to the Child Abuse Network of Tulsa. Smashburger opened July 29 at 7392 South Olympia Avenue in the Tulsa Hills Shopping Center near 71st Street South and Highway 75.

The OK Smashburger and OK Smashchicken were created specifically for the Oklahoma market. The OK Smashburger features a one-third or half-pound 100% Angus beef burger smashed and seared on a hot grill, topped with fried pickles, pepper jack cheese, haystack onions, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing on an egg bun.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with the Child Abuse Network of Tulsa," says Tom Ryan, founder of Smashburger and managing partner and chief concept officer of Consumer Capital Partners (CCP), the investment firm behind the restaurant. "We're passionate about getting involved in the community and think this is a great opportunity to serve others in need."

CAN delivers a highly effective alternative, bringing multiple agencies together in a single, safe and comforting environment for children in crisis. CAN enables medical, mental health, investigative and legal professionals to work together under one roof, to provide less traumatic investigation and to determine whether child abuse has occurred.

"We are excited and appreciative to Smashburger for choosing the Child Abuse Network as their benefiting non-profit," says Barbara Findeiss, CAN's Executive Director. "Community contributions are critical to us in providing services to children involved in child abuse investigations. We welcome Smashburger to Tulsa and are honored to have them as a partner."

Along with its savory burgers, Smashburger also serves up delicious Smashchicken sandwiches, Smashdogs, and Smashsalads, with sides like veggie frites and rosemary and garlic-seasoned Smashfries. Burger lovers can pair their meals with local beer, wine, Häagen-Dazs shakes, and root beer floats.

Prime Advertising & Design Launches a Wellness Program

The Prime Wellness Program was designed to encourage employees to incorporate healthy components into their lifestyle.

Maple Grove (PRWEB) June 3, 2005

Tuesday, April 20th marked the start of an exciting new addition at Prime Advertising & Design: the Wellness Program. The Prime Wellness Program was designed to encourage employees to incorporate healthy components into their lifestyle. What is really great about PrimeÂ’s Wellness Program is the fact that Prime doesnÂ’t solely focus on the prominent components of health: diet and exercise. Prime instead focuses on wellness as being an all-encompassing part of life. This is shown as the program also promotes health education, a supportive environment, and fun group outings!

The Wellness Program was kicked off by an all-company potluck in which each employee contributed a healthy dish. Some of the favorite dishes included: cashew chicken, a raspberry salad, and a decadent Jell-O angel food cake. The potluck was a huge hit! Mark Murray commented “This was the best potluck we’ve had yet!” Who knew eating healthy was so fun!

In carrying on with the wellness theme, the kickoff provided nourishment for the brain, as well as the body. Carolyn Thorp, the parish nurse at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Brooklyn Park, informed the group on the importance of living wills and the procedure of obtaining one as part of her Five Wishes® Presentation. Julie Shay and Jody Niskanen, founders of the Prime Wellness Program, followed revealing the details of the program. As part of the program, employees are encouraged to incorporate wellness into their daily lifestyle to obtain points and work towards incentives. Each employee was then given a pedometer to help keep track of their daily steps, as a way to earn points.

The launching of the Prime Wellness Program was a huge success and the program will continue to enrich the lives of the employees.
