WILTON, Conn., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, author of the New York Times best-selling book, Eat Right for Your Type, as well as several other books on diet and nutrition, has collaborated with cooking show producer Kristin O'Connor to create a series of four new e-cookbooks aimed at people following the Blood Type Diet and anyone interested in healthy and delicious meals.  The books, Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet, are available today through Amazon.

The goal in creating the cookbooks was to simplify eating and living according to blood type.  Each book includes 150 recipes, menu planning strategies and pantry-stocking tips.

Says author Kristin O'Connor, "To combine my philosophies on health with my love of cooking by writing this series of cookbooks is sincerely a dream come true.  I came to see Dr. D'Adamo as a patient and I have never been healthier; but more than that, I have been able to see first-hand how dramatically he changes the lives of so many patients who walk through his door, read his books or follow his web forums.  My intent with this cookbook and series is to make life a little easier (and certainly tastier) once you have started eating right for your blood type." 

Each cookbook has been specifically designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of people following D'Adamo's guidelines for their blood type: A, B, AB and O. As a continuation of the lifestyle cookbooks, O'Connor has a Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet blog, http://www.dadamopersonalizedliving.com, where she contributes new recipes and tips on living according to the Blood Type Diet, from eating out at restaurants to shopping for ingredients.

Kristin O'Connor is chef, cooking show producer and food consultant.  After suffering from multiple health issues that were unsuccessfully treated with traditional medicine, O'Connor sought alternative means of healing and changed her diet.  In doing so, her perspective on food and cooking changed dramatically, and inspired her to pursue a career in the culinary arts.  As an associate producer, she assisted in developing cooking shows for Food Network and the Cooking Channel.  She also acts as a dietary consultant, helping families who have been placed on restrictive diets to adapt to their new dietary guidelines.  Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet is her first cookbook series.

The books have been published in e-book format by Drum Hill Publishing, Wilton, Connecticut.

Fitness Marketing Whiz Kid Sam Bakhtiar Launches Contact Formula To Help Fitness Entrepreneurs Expand Their Businesses

Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

Fitness trainer, blogger, and entrepreneur Saman Bakhtiar, who is based in L.A., has launched Contact Formula, a mobile fitness marketing platform that guarantees better business prospects. Sam, who is popularly known as ‘7 Figure Sam’ due to his sky-high annual business returns, is also the owner of notable blog Super-Trainer and several boot camps and training centers in California and the Chicago area.

Contact Formula has come at a time when over 92% of the population in the U.S.A. is mobile. Tapping this burgeoning market can ensure that fitness entrepreneurs win over more clients, get more referrals, enjoy better revenues, and fortify customer retention- which is what Sam has strived to do through his coaching program.

Bakhtiar’s Mastermind coaching program has become all the rage among budding fitness marketing honchos due to its high success rate and its ability to provide tangible results in very little time. Many personal trainers have benefited from his time-tested and self-created business systems, which, in fact, were responsible for propelling Sam to new heights after he’d repeatedly courted failure in the fitness marketing sector. The firsthand accounts and testimonials of many trainers after having tried 7 Figure Sam’s business model are positive and shed light on the fact that his coaching service isn’t just high on promise and low on delivery.

Sam’s coaching program will now also allow entrepreneurs to take full advantage of Contact Formula’s comprehensive pool of services like voice broadcasting, social and email marketing, and SMS and MMS marketing to reach out to a much wider audience, which in turn will translate into a higher potential customer-loyal client turnover. This mobile fitness marketing service is also replete with other features like mobile voting and polling, lead generation, mobile coupons, appointment reminders, mobile eCards, shuffle responders, and a whole lot more.

About 7 Figure Sam:

7 Figure Sam is the brainchild behind the fitness marketing model that has helped innumerable trainers attain financial independence and success. His mantra for success is multi-dimensional and allows fitness entrepreneurs to live a stress-free life devoid of unreasonable deadlines, haphazard finances and management, and other professional bugbears.

Through his blog Super-Trainer and his Mastermind coaching program, Sam hopes to help fitness marketing professionals juggle their work and family life without breaking a sweat and enable them to taste financial success with a business system that really works.

All Diets Work - Video

Read More..

I'll say it upfront: I don't think most diets work. There are people -- with severe problems like advanced coronary disease, celiac, major intolerances, etc. -- who need to be on very restrictive diets. OK. But for the rest of us, from all my research and observations, diets just don't work.

Sure, at first you tend to lose a bunch of weight -- Yee-hah! But before you can say "Paula Deen," it's creeping back on again, and then some. Why is that?

I think the answer has to do with the fact that with most diets you're always hungry. And what's worse, when you do finally get to eat something, it's rarely something you enjoy eating. There's all that delicious food out there, and what do you end up with? A celery stalk and some brown rice. Washed down with some green tea. Blech!

Food is one of life's great pleasures. It can soothe the soul, enhance romance, stimulate the mind, lift your spirits, please the senses. It has inspired great art and literature and served as a platform for diplomacy. Surely we weren't meant to ignore the wonders of the culinary universe just to drop a few pounds and clean out our arteries?

OK, that being said, I find myself in the position -- like many of us -- of having for too long abused a basic tenet of that universe: Thou Shalt Not Partake of Too Much of a Good Thing. Which is why I find myself in the shape that I'm now in, and why I have to even consider the question of diets.

So what's a boy chef to do? Naturopath Dr. Martin Milner explained that it's not diabetes per se that kills you. It's the things diabetes can cause -- heart disease, circulation problems, blindness, to name a few. Then -- with a straight face, I swear -- he strongly advised me that I should go on a strict, plant-based (aka vegan) diet, with a mere 10 percent of my calories from fat. That diet being the only one that has been clinically proven to reverse heart disease, among other benefits.

After my initial chuckle, I realized he was serious. I think the premise is that, if I were to go on this diet, I could expect to live a healthy, normal life until the ripe old age of 112. I explained that: 1) I really only want to live to 95 or so, 2) I disdain diets for the above reasons, and 3) I truly believe that life isn't worth living if it is without at least some of the flavors and textures I've come to adore. And I hope -- with the Doc's guidance, some planning and willpower, and some inspiration -- I can come up with a way of eating that will be both healthy and satisfying. I can have my cake and eat it. Well, minus the cake.

So that has become my quest.

It has to be. I look at it this way: I either get my dietary and fitness act together in a way I can live with, still able to enjoy the food I cook and consume, or it's off to vegan hell for me, and a life filled with sausage substitutes and groats. So I am taking up the gauntlet.

So far, it hasn't been easy. But it hasn't been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. The first thing I did was to sign up for one of those free iPhone mobile apps. This one is called MyFitnessPlan.com. I don't know if it's the best one, but it was the first one listed and the most downloaded and I wanted to get on this right away. The principle is that you create a profile with your vital statistics, goals for weight loss, daily calorie consumption, targets for ingestion of fat, protein, carbs, salt, etc. You enter your exercise regime, if any, for which the program figures the calories burned and adds that into the equation. Then you enter everything you eat each day. Everything. It has a huge data base that for the most part will have the breakdown for whatever you could possibly eat. They had my preferred brand of Thai fish sauce, every conceivable variation of Dave's Killer Bread, Mama L'il's Peppers. Even the brand of buckwheat soba noodles I was using. If they don't have it, you enter it, using the nutritional information on the package.

Once you've plugged in all the information from the day's consumption, it spits out the total number of calories consumed, broken down into all its nutritional components. Finally, it figures in your exercise "burn," then calculates your potential weight loss. The site has all sorts of other tools -- such as the ability to log your own recipes -- along with a social component should you want to share your experience with your "friends."

The benefit of such a program is that it forces you to consider everything you eat, and what each thing contains nutritionally. That was eye-opening, to say the least!

I'd never really thought much about what I consumed. Mostly, I ate what tasted good, without regard for calories, fat or salt content, or the cumulative effect of it all. Sure, I consumed my share of salads and veggies, figuring that, in total, I was getting the nutrients I needed. Which I was. Along with ungodly amounts of fat and salt and sugar from the countless burgers and sodas and bacon and fries and chips and ice cream and, and ... Jeez, this is making me hungry!

But the bottom line is that I am now paying the price for years of ignoring good nutrition. And something has to give.

Next week I'll discuss how my eating habits and attitudes toward food have changed. And how I'm really enjoying it.

Next: Part II – Eat your vegetables!

Andrew Scheiner/Daily Journal Yesterday, more than 200 residents and supporters of Burlingame Long Term Care came before San Mateo County supervisors (including Carole Groom and Don Horsley, top center) to beg them to not close the facility. Connie Lauer, a six-year resident, (bottom center, sitting next to Sandra Herrick) began crying while explaining how other options like a board and care home are too expensive. Left, a resident, and right, John C. Beiers, county counsel, listen to the supervisors unanimous decision to not renew the lease.

San Mateo County supervisors unanimously agreed not to renew its lease with Burlingame Long Term Care, a decision capping hours of emotional testimony by residents who begged them not to break up their home and others who challenged the image of the facility as physically unsafe and financially draining.

“Please let us stay together because we are a family. I don’t know what I would do if I lose my home and my family,” said center resident Eileen Nolan who has been disabled for 50 years and said she cannot care for herself.

The board’s decision means Burlingame Long Term Care on Trousdale Drive will close in July 2013, its 230 residents relocated and approximately 200 workers laid off. The supervisors called the decision tough but said they need to take a long-range approach to long-term care and financial solvency.

“The needs in our community outstrip our ability to pay for them,” said Supervisor Dave Pine.

Regardless, the board’s final vote was met with loud booing and tears. Several of the residents are Medi-Cal recipients and they worried that the closure means few local options and possibly being forced to relocate far from known surroundings and loved ones.

Prior to yesterday’s decision at the board meeting filled with more than 200 people, Connie Lauer, a six-year resident, began crying while explaining how other options like a board and care home are too expensive.

“I just don’t want to move,” she said.

County officials said they wouldn’t move them if they could help it but they are faced with a $9 million annual loss caused by cuts to reimbursement rates, expensive upkeep and a facility that, while not unsafe, is not modern.

“I know this transition will cause enormous stress and disruption … and I’m extremely sorry,” said Health System Director Jean Fraser, her voice cracking.

A large part of the problem is that Medi-Cal covers hospitalization and nursing care but not at-home care services. Fraser said the county has little choice when it comes to Medi-Cal beds because the program covers hospitalization and nursing care but not at-home services. The county is part of a pilot program for long-term care integration and Fraser is hopeful this will eventually offer all counties flexibility to use those funds in the best and most financially prudent way possible.

“I truly believe every crisis is an opportunity,” Fraser said.

However, as long as the county stays wedded to large institutions its creativity and innovation is stymied, she said.

The current proposal calls for reopening Unit 1B of the San Mateo Medical Center with an extra 32 beds for a total of 64 set aside from short-term patients while long-term residents are placed elsewhere. Dr. Susan Ehrlich, hospital CEO, said the county should use the unutilized space because it pays $1 million a year in debt service.

 Several board members yesterday indicated a preference to add another 96 in the unit for a total of 128 and let Burlingame Long Term Care residents use those. Fraser estimated adding the others would take about nine months and cost approximately $2 million.

That decision will be made at a later date; yesterday, the board only voted on the lease renewal and heard more than three hours of public comment punctuated with poetry and songs.

Esther Nord wondered if her comments would fall on deaf ears because the supervisors had already made up their minds but asked the board to look at the residents as individuals and not just a crowd or a number of beds.

“Today is Valentine’s Day. This place is one big heart. Give us our miracle on Valentine’s Day,” she said.

Over and over, the speakers told the board the nursing home is an asset rather than a liability for the county. Many said the county would be better off revisiting the billing and at least one questioned prior staffing cuts that make it impossible to keep the center from being fully occupied and thereby raise more revenue.

“Was this budget cut a deliberate attempt to right red ink?” asked Barbara Meacham who, with her husband, spoke on behalf of a cousin who resides in the facility.

Others suggested pulling the health care districts in to help and the cost of BLTC was often contrasted with the price tag of a new county jail.

The crowd repeatedly told the board a “tsunami” of aging Baby Boomers is poised to worsen the problem of too-few beds and at least one told the supervisors to consider their own future.

“You people will be in our position someday and there won’t be any place for you,” said Anna Tupou, a resident of four years.

The emotional hearing echoed similar meetings nearly a decade ago when San Mateo County took over the 281-bed nursing facility in 2003 at the request of the Department of Health Services. The state had put the facility into receivership because the operator faced bankruptcy and the county stepped in rather than risk patients being shipped as far away as Oregon.

The home never turned into a moneymaker for the county and in July 2011 the civil grand jury recommended the county cut ties. The county responded by hiring consultant Lawrence Funk whose December 2011 report recommending not renewing the lease for financial and safety reasons came under fire yesterday.

Mario Muzzi, who owns the building with this brother Vincent, reiterated to the board many of the points made in a 12-page letter he delivered last week to address the consultant’s report. Muzzi, who said he prefers to inform rather than advocate, said Funk is just wrong in his conclusion that the center is not physically fit.

“If the building was unsafe, they would have shut us down,” Muzzi said, referencing the state licensing process.

Muzzi also offered the board a financial carrot for a change of heart.

“If the county is considering staying, we will reduce our lease,” Muzzi said.

The offer was met with loud cheering and standing.

Vincent Muzzi also made the offer and expressed frustration at Funk’s report, in particular the figures stated about the number of Medi-Cal beds available in the county. Instead of 1,500, Muzzi said the number is actually 887.

“They are wrong and I resent that the county has not corrected it,” Muzzi said.

Members of the San Mateo County Ombudsman Office also urged the board to keep the facility open and warned of a 20 percent death rate due to moving. Even those who don’t die often lose weight, are emotionally distressed and frequently fall, said Judith Guilfoyle.

“The transfer trauma has already started,” she said.

BLTC also acts as safety net for the homeless, younger adults and the mentally ill — three populations not well served by other providers, said Executive Director Tippy Irwin.

The county has lost eight homes in the last decade and the county has half the beds per capita as the rest of the state, Irwin said.

Even opening the full 96 beds at the hospital will not be enough, leaving approximately 100 residents needing placement, she said.

Although several speakers argued the facility would benefit from full occupancy, Fraser said the opposite is actually true because, even not counting rent and utilities, it runs at a deficit in part by not pushing residents to leave when their time is up or force payments from those who do not make them. As a result, Fraser, said the county is spending $2 million in rent and another $1 million on upkeep without getting more beds or modern conditions.

“Frankly, more patients means a greater loss,” Fraser said.

Part of the financial challenge, too, is that the state charges hospital-run nursing homes more because they believe residents are receiving an increased level of care even if — as is the local case — that doesn’t happen, Ehrlich said.

The rate of Medi-Cal reimbursement was a strong theme in yesterday’s hearing, with debate remaining on just how much — or how little — the county stands to receive. A federal lawsuit currently has cuts on hold but Ehrlich said the county is still seeing the cuts enforced.

“So this is the reality we are dealing with today,” Ehrlich said.

Once the state approves the county’s transition plan, a team will go to work figuring out the necessary moves.

The assessment process will include individual evaluations by doctors, social workers and other caregivers, said Lisa Mancini, director of aging and adult services for San Mateo County.

Mancini pointed to the long lead time as a plus because nursing home beds open up sporadically and having recommendations in place ahead of time makes it more likely a resident will end up somewhere they wish to be.

“Rest assured, we will not exit Burlingame until we have an appropriate home for everybody,” Mancini said.

February is National Heart Month and a great time to step back and ask yourself; “What am I doing to keep my heart healthy?”

I have written often how important taking care of your heart is and I am passionate about spreading the word.  Feb. 3 was Go Red for Women in which everyone was encouraged to wear red in an effort to raise awareness of heart disease and women. It’s important to understand that men don’t have the monopoly on heart disease. It is just as prevalent in women as well.

Heart disease is a preventable condition and it’s never too late to get it under control. The American Heart Association (AHA) has developed the Simple 7 as a strategy to help you improve your heart health. It’s named the “Simple 7” for a reason, it is an easy plan to execute.

The Simple 7

1. Get active. Getting more physical activity is as easy as walking around the block. You would be amazed how quickly you can become accustomed to taking that daily walk. Physical activity of at least 150 minutes (a little more than 21 minutes of moderate intensity activity per day) or 75 minutes (just shy of 11 minutes of vigorous intensity activity per day) each week is a great start. You’ll soon find that you will want to add more time to your walks.

2.  Control cholesterol. Your total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL. If it is greater than 200 mg/dl, see your physician for help bringing that number down. Treatment can be prescription medication, increasing your physical activity, diet modification, or all of the above.

3. Eat better. Eat foods high in fruits, vegetables, low in saturated fats, and whole grains.

4. Manage blood pressure. Resting blood pressure should be 120/80 mm Hg or lower. High blood pressure can be treated by increasing physical activity, adjusting your diet, or prescription medication.

5. Reduce blood sugar. A fasting blood glucose should be less than 100 mg/dL. Measures over 100 mg/dL could signal type II diabetes. Diabetes is when the body has difficulty making enough insulin to control the blood sugar. Often times type II diabetes is associated with obesity and treatment consisting of weight loss and increased physical activity has been very affective.

6. Lose weight. Maintain a healthy body weight and a body mass index (BMI) of less than 25. The BMI is your body weight in relation to your height. Any measure great than 25, is a flag to drop some pounds.

7. Stop smoking. If you smoke, stop. I you don’t smoke, don’t start. The detrimental effects of smoking are well document. Smoking is a leading cause of cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

It’s as simple as following the above seven steps. The AHA has a great website loaded with great information. They have a My Life Check assessment tool that only takes a few minutes to fill out a questionnaire. It gives you a heart health score along with strategies on how to get started on a heart healthy lifestyle. Go to; http://www.mylifecheck.heart.org/ for all the great resources.

If you take a look at the Simple 7, you will notice that physical activity is a common remedy. I have written over and over how important regular physical activity can be the magic pill for a great number of health maladies. Get started today for a healthier heart. Do it for you, do it for your loved ones.

Today marks the first day that I am writing this column not as the fitness director at the Rochester Athletic Club, but as the new Sports and Athletic Performance Manager at Olmsted Medical Center. I am excited to join the team at OMC and to help them expand the Sports Medicine department’s brand in Rochester and the surrounding communities. It was a tremendous experience serving as the fitness director at the RAC for over 18 years. I have forged many bonds with members and staff which I will cherish forever. I now look forward to the same experience working at OMC.

Wes Emmert is Sports and Athletic Performance Manager for the Olmsted Medical Center.
