We are what we eat!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.




A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs.


Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).


Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries



Oranges , Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.


Onions look like the body's cells.

Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
Our meal plans on The Belly Fit Club are based on this science and have been proven successful in all that follow them.  We make it easy to get healthy because we have done all the work for you.  All you have to do is follow along.  The benefits of the program will amaze you.  Start today, www.thebellyfitclub.com

Bellyfit Beauty

Kristie’s 5 Secrets to Get the GLOW!


There are two types of people in the world:


1. Those that look radiant whatever they do. and....


2. The rest of us.


I'm one of those people who’s every sin is reflected on my face. Stress, a late night, too much sugar, too much fat, not enough fat, overeating, jet lag, not enough sleep, not enough water...any of these soon shows on my face in the form of blemishes, breakouts, dullness, dryness, and many other not so pretty signs. I thought of this as a natural tendency. Then something happened....


I started to understand that this is how my body and my skin respond to what I eat and how I live.  And so, I started to pay attention! My dull, horrible skin became a BLESSING because it won’t let me get away with any bad habits. For one thing, I would of never tapped into nutrition and holistic health like I did, as young as I did, without it. After all, I was in my twenties when I set out on this path and I wasn’t worried about longevity then. It was PURE vanity that initially propelled me on my quest to investigate every aspect of physical and mental health.


If I can take my body and my complexion from cover up to coveted (without plastic surgery or Botox) anyone can. So here I share with you all that I have learned these past 15+ years.


First, understand that despite all the glossy ads and magazine articles, there is nothing in a jar or bottle that will do this for you. Take it from someone who knows because she’s tried it ALL. Radiance is a quality that comes from inside and shines through the skin and there is no cream nor pill that can make that happen, nor foundation that can fake it.


It is created by healthy, nourished, oxygenated cells. There are no short cuts to this. Stick to the program faithfully and you will soon start to see your skin improve...and improve...and improve. And the most fantastic thing about this program is that any improvement on the outside is a direct result of your becoming healthier on the inside.


I recommend working through number 1-3 first: they are the foundation on which beautiful skin and a beautiful body is built. 4-5 are extras for those who want to take massive action for extreme radiance.


1. Get the diet basics right


Eat real, whole foods, and enjoy a wide range of skin superstars. All of these can be found in the Jumpstart Program @ www.thebellyfitclub.com. This program focuses on foods high in beta carotene like yams, sweet potatoes, carrots to name a few. On this program included are the foods to avoid that wreak havoc on all skin types, and weigh us down in every way.


2. Exercise


When you exercise, oxygenated blood whooshes through your system, boosting delivery of nutrients and oxygen to cells, while flushing away cellular wastes and toxins. This oxygenated blood also plumps up your skin and boosts collagen production. Exercise also counteracts the effects of stress by promoting hormonal balance. As we all know, hormonal imbalances are not kind to our body or our face. My Jumpstart program is formulated to rid your body of candida and balance hormonal levels.


3. Drink a Liter of RAW juice a day


This will give your body a glow you can’t get any other way, and will also make the amazing natural color of your eyes shine with extra luminously.


Try our Green Lemonade or any of the juice recipes we offer on www.thebellyfitclub.com.


4. Exfoliate


It’s hard to glow when your skin is covered with a layer of dead cells. For maximum radiance dry brush your entire body with a body brush and your face with a face brush. Why not a scrub? Many exfoliating scrubs on the market are basically razor-sharp abrasive shards in a paste of nasty manmade chemicals. If you do like to use scrubs, make sure it’s natural and gentle.


5. Sweat, baby, sweat


Vigorous exercise is one way to achieve this, but for a real purge through the pores you’ll want to sit in a sauna. Workouts like Bikram Yoga is amazing for your body and your skin. Also, try our Accelerate program at home found at www.thebellyfitclub.com to really get your sweat on.




Beautiful skin and a beautiful body is created by healthy, nourished, oxygenated cells, and this requires not only a clean lifestyle but also a body mind system in a state of “flow”. You know when you are in this state and when you are not. A dull body is the outer reflection of a system that is in a state of stress and sluggishness, with cells undernourished and overloaded with toxicity. Following these 5 tips will get you back in that beautiful state of flow…and that’s what will give you The Glow!

Burn fat and add sexy curves with the progressive eight-week body blast. Using my fat blasting exercises and training techniques you'll notice a difference in your body within the first week.



Week One and Five: Circuit Train-Chose one exercise from each major muscle group from the workout library found at www.thebellyfitclub.com . Go through each exercise chosen doing 15 reps with no rest between sets. When finished, start at the beginning and repeat two more times. Each day pick a differnt exercise from each muscle group. Cardio-Do four days of cardio for 40-60 minutes.


Week Two and Six: Resistance Training Focus-Chose 3 different body parts to work each day. Do 4 sets of 10 reps for each body part exercise chosen. Cardio-Do 4 days of cardio doing interval training type workouts.




Week Three and Seven: High Rep-Chose 3 different body parts to work each day. Do 4 sets of 20 reps for each body part exercise chosen. Cardio-Bump it up to 5 days this week and train for 30-minutes burning 400-500 calories.


Week Four and Eight: Supersets-This is where you will work two body parts back to back with no rest. Pick three upper body exercises and one three lower body exercises from the exercise library. Pair a upper body exercise with a lower body exercise and alternate the two exercises for 4 sets and 15 reps. You will then move onto the next pair and repeat. Cardio-Stay at 5 cardio sessions this week and do 40 minutes burning 500-600 calories.
