Greetings!

So far, the popular concepts on ideal weight and weight loss have not resulted in happier, healthier Americans.  As we all know, obesity rates are only rising.  And while it is true that increased weight leads to joint wear and tear, diabetes, heart disease, hormone imbalance and other health issues, it has not proven helpful to stress this.  I think a radical new approach is necessary.  My suggestions to patients who struggle with weight are simple but if applied, can be absolutely liberating.  I tell patients to either accept and love themselves exactly as they are fully and totally right now, conscious of their own choices OR change their habits!  


Either of these choices will result in more energy and a happier life.  If you really accept that there are no other choices besides these two and you become okay with your choice it releases guilt, victim mentality and self-condemnation.  If you choose to change and release the weight, we have a nutrition program, exercise recommendations and specialists to help monitor progress and document your success!  And if the choice made is to accept yourself fully as you are, we'll let you know that we already have!  Until our next adjustment... 

 

Yours in health,

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team

This easy and delicious Chicken Tikka Kebab recipe is high in protein and low in fat meaning you will feel fuller longer and have sustained energy (no blood sugar crashes here!). Also the garlic, turmeric and ginger all have anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antioxidant properties.

Chicken Tikka Kebabs
Serves 6

Ingredients
2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
  (we suggest organic, free-range chicken)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup plain yogurt
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of dried crushed red pepper

12 6-to-8-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
  (organic grass-fed butter is rich in Omega-3's & antioxidants or you can substitute
   extra virgin olive oil which is micronutrient & vitamins A,E & K-rich)

Preparation
Combine chicken, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl; let stand 30 minutes.

Mix 1/4 cup plain yogurt, minced garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons coriander, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/8 teaspoon ginger and crushed red pepper in small bowl. Add to chicken and stir until chicken is well coated with spice mixture. Refrigerate chicken at least 3 hours or overnight.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread chicken on skewers, dividing equally. Brush chicken with melted butter. Season with salt. Grill kebabs until just cooked through, turning frequently, about 7 minutes.

Serve with a nice big salad of dark leafy greens and fresh seasonal veggies. Enjoy!
