Dr. Berg talks about the 7 lessons he learned from weight loss failures from his practice of 25 years and worked with 40,000 people. 1. Fruit – Don’t use fruit if you are trying to lose weight and someone who has slow metabolism. Even small amounts of fruit can block a lot of fat burning.
2. Snacks – Snacking increases insulin because every time you eat, you trigger insulin. Cutting out snacks creates huge benefits.
3. 2 weeks – low protein (Liver enhancement) or no protein – would cause a lot of blood sugar issues because our bodies need amino acids to rebuild and repair. Cutting it out too low or not enough will cause problems like hair loss, loss of muscle, etc.
4. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” – It screws up and break the all night fasting. Push yourself to eat closer to lunch and not eat until you’re hungry and eventually skip the breakfast.
5. Low Fat (Lean Protein) – Fat is very important to satisfy the appetite to go into one meal to another. It is the only macronutrient that doesn’t trigger insulin – the more the pure the fat is the lower the influence it has to insulin.
6. History – Clue (Ignoring – Focusing more in diving into the process directly and not ignoring the clues.
7. Omitting Getting Healthy First – It is not lose weight to get healthy, it is getting healthy first then lose the weight. Focus on the health indicators: energy level, cravings gone, stress level better. Hey guys in this video we are gonna talk about the 7 lessons that I’ve learned from many weight loss failures. Now, I have been in practice for 29 years worked on about 40,000 different people, so I had a lot of interaction with people and you learn so much from your client. It is incredible. So i guess that’s why you call it a practice so you are practicing and there are patients and you have a waiting room. But I had a great opportunity to find out what works and what doesn’t work. So I am gonna go through the 7 lessons that I’ve learned. Let’s start with number 1, fruit. Here’s the lesson I learned about fruit, you don’t wanna use fruit if you are trying to help people lose weight. Now I am talking about someone with the slow metabolism, I pretty much approach everyone from a viewpoint that have a slow metabolism. Why do we do that? Because we get results in every type of case. But if you are operating of this idea that everyone has a good metabolism, they don’t have insulin resistance, your results are gonna be very very poor. Tiny bit of fruit could block a lot of fat burning for a day or two. Lesson number 2, snacks. I used to recommend so called healthy snacks, I used to consume healthy snacks between meals and definitely at night. That time, I thought it was okay because I thought it was healthy it wasn’t junk food. But I found out through trial and error that that’s a really bad advice because the snacking increases insulin just because every time you eat you trigger insulin.

Every home school parent and teacher can tell you that the worst thing isn’t when you’ve spent 20 minutes explaining something and then asking your children if they understand and they respond, “No.”
The worst is our kids saying, “Yes, I get it,” and you having no way of knowing if they really get it.
The whole goal of teaching is so that our children understand. It’s why they create, practice, write, speak, dance or memorise. Isn’t it strange, then, that we struggle so much with seeing their actual understanding?This is whole reason for the Make Thinking Visible paradigm of education. There are endless lists of routines and tactics, but there’s one that I found to be the most helpful.Analogies.Comparisons are one of the ways our brains are wired to problem solve. You can even make that thinking visible with a thinking map. My favourite way, that I’ve seen the best results and had the best discussions around, are making metaphors.Here are a few examples of how you could use analogies to see if your children really understand:
1. Choose a cartoon character who you would compare the concept to.
For example, when teaching magnetism, I used Johnny Bravo (which originally ran 23 years ago… feeling old?) because he is always positive and repels others who are positive. He’s also strong. And entertaining. And you often don’t know why he behaves the way he does.
2. Build with Lego and explain your choices.
I like Lego, a lot. I’ve got over 100kgs of the stuff and am amazed at how my one-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son can play with it for hours.Whenever I taught, “What is the internet?” to grade 1s-7s for Computer Science, we would discuss, watch, and finally show understanding by representing the internet using Lego. They would build the most amazing things and you could speak with them extensively on choices. Why did they pick a certain colour? Block? Structure? What does it represent?I use this in my Use Coding in Your Teaching Online Course for parents and teachers.
3. If this was an animal…
Children love animals. It’s built into us to be intrigued by them. By comparing a concept to an animal, we are accessing our children’s current knowledge and helping them to create a bridge to their new understanding (an important habit of the mind). I found with this one, and most of these, sometimes our children need some help getting started. “How is an ant like a factory?”. Our children must think about their current knowledge of ants. Maybe they have lots of moving parts? You don’t notice them. They are stronger than we realise… see?As our children gain confidence, they will see that this is an excellent strategy to help them learn. They will start using it themselves and will be a bit further on the path of being able to learn anything.Before I go, remember that there are the homeCode Robotics Kits which are all about problem solving and making thinking visible. Each kit comes with online lessons that teach the basics of coding, robotics and problem solving.Do you have some great strategies to add to this? Come chat on Facebook or Twitter!

For many South Africans, George is a holiday dream destination for Decembers. The beaches, mountains and surrounding areas are reason enough for that!
But for other South Africans, George accounts for more than just the mountain, beaches and surrounding – it accounts for a place to be called home.Moving from Cape Town to George on the 30th of December 2018, George was a place unknown and waiting to be discovered. As a Capetonian, having lived all of my 26 years in the Cape Town area, it was quite something to adapt to. I remember trying to memorize most of the street names in George, just to orientate myself. The first few months I drove around with Google Maps as my GPS, just to make sure I don’t get lost! Even though George is quite small, by not knowing it so well you can still get lost between all the little streets and corners. And not to mention all the one-ways in York street! How confusing!
Another thing that stood out is definitely all the Coffee shops. I made it my focus to try different ones every month! Nina’s, Ground Control, The Table, just to mention a few which delivered some great social dates!
Building a community took some time though. My husband and I became intentional in inviting people over for a braai. This quickly became our Monday evening tradition, and wherever we met people, we would invite them over for a braai for the following Monday evening. Even though we had quite a few evenings of braaiing on our own, we soon had weekly braai gatherings and people visiting. What a great way to connect with people and build relationships!Within a year we were quite settled into George as our new home. We loved exploring the area, having less traffic and the idea that shops are around the corner. Nothing is far away from one another in George. Including people.Moving to a new place can definitely be daunting but I definitely learned a few things from it:
It is possible to adapt. Even though I grew up in the same area and lived there for 26 years, I worked through the challenges of change and was able to build a new home, together with my husband, & community group for myself.
You need to invest. We had quite a great community network in Cape Town – solid friends, family, church and meeting people along the way. Leaving all of that behind was challenging and then also needing to want to meet new people in George, was tough. We, therefore, needed to put ourselves out there and connect. I joined a local hockey club, we slotted into our local church and met people from our workplaces as well. Getting involved in the community is the best way of meeting new people.
Getting to know it all. There is so much to discover in George! Coming into a new place carries the benefit of wanting to explore though. Being in one place for long, it quickly becomes difficult to think of new & exciting things to do. But within George, no one can have that problem! We had weekends of exploring that which we enjoyed, even going to camp in places like Island Lake – 35 minutes away!
Adapting differently. It was interesting to see how differently my husband and I would adapt to our new surroundings! He wanted to “arrive” as quickly as possible, while as I wanted to adapt at an easy pace, not wanting to miss anything. For sure this led to quite some conversations and clearing out misunderstandings. But it made me realise how differences in each person are actually such a good thing. We can learn how to do things better and grow along the way. We definitely need to see the opportunity within challenges.
I am sure there is perhaps quite a few other learning curves I went through. And perhaps you are thinking about your own challenges with moving if you ever had to.But let us continue to strive to make the best out of each situation and be obedient in the things God is calling us into.Follow us on Facebook: A Couple of things.
YouTube is a great tool in education. That’s why I made a channel. Several times I’ve used a YouTube video in a classroom setting and as soon as the YouTuber says, ‘Like and subscribe and don’t forget to ring that bell’, my class would erupt.“LIKE IT MR OLSEN!!! SUUUBSCRIIIIIBE!!!”
We are more likely to be persuaded when we don’t realise we are being… persuaded.
While research shows that the greatest influence on purchasing is from parents, it’s still up to us to ensure that our children aren’t viewing things that are going to mess them up- brain wise.Enter Brave browser.Brave browser is built from the same thing that Chrome is. But it’s better. It automatically blocks trackers, third party cookies and adverts (and yes, all those things sound as scary as they are). You can even support websites using their cryptocurrency.If you’ve taken one of the homeCode Udemy Courses, like the Space Explorers Coding Course for Kids (give me a shout if you want a discount code, by the way), then you would have seen that I like to use real world articles.
All that advertising used to make me say, “Ah poop, I can’t pooping use this.”
I use Brave whenever I require children, who I am teaching, to obtain information from a pre-approved page. I highly recommend that you do too.It’s free to download, so try it and let me know if it helps!(Cover image by Brianna Reak on Unsplash)
A while back I came upon this very simple yet elegant process for helping to clarify the thinking in terms of a strategic plan for businesses, large or small. It could work for one’s personal life as well. After all, a family is just like a business!
Many companies have a strategic plan, often a document about 75mm thick and it is stuck away in a filing cabinet and the only one who knows its contents is the MD and the business consultant who wrote it for them.
Ideally, a Strategic Plan needs to be no longer than 1 page and everyone on the staff needs to know what’s it in. And the staff need to live by this plan, they are the one’s who will implement it.
Here are the elements that need to be addressed:
VISION – This is a clear picture of your destination. Where you are going and what you want to become.
2. MISSION – The driving purpose of your business, who you are and what you do.
3. VALUES – The guide you use for decision making and how you treat each other and your clients.
4. OBJECTIVES – The numbers you track. What do you measure?
5. STRATEGIES – The paths you have decided to take. Or the “how” of accomplishing your objectives.
6. PRIORITIES – The work that needs to get done and who needs to do it.
There needs to be an overall Strategic Plan for the business and each Department needs to have its own Strategic Plan.
Everyone in the business needs to know what the Plan is and all of them need to live it every day. This becomes the driving force of the business with everyone on board. No grey areas!
If you would like some help drawing up your Strategic Plan, I am available to spend a few hours with your team one morning to walk you through the process.
Remember the old saying: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”!
I have read many books and attended several conferences where the author or speaker always say something very unique. It is striking and I don’t even think they realise it sometimes.“You need to live in a certain way…” From Wallace to Robbins this is a quote frequently referred to in some way. You hear teachers say this and holy scripture mentions it several times. So what does “living in a certain way” refer to? Initially I thought it meant to live like the thing you want to become. Trust me, don’t try living a millionaires lifestyle if you earn a middle class salary. That is not the way this works. Rather follow the path you have chosen from start to finish. Do so with a wholehearted belief that you are on your way to achieving the life you envision for yourself.Note, I said “start at the beginning.” Living in a certain way means that there is no jumping to the fun part without doing the groundwork first. There are quite a few different ways to start. Certain ways might even speed up progress, keeping in mind that it is directly related to the method being used. So, you still need to start at the beginning. “Living in a certain way”, in order to become successful sounds a bit mystical and no one can really tell you exactly what you should be doing. This can sometimes lead to great frustration and even resentment of self and the goal. A good advisor will generally tell you more or less where to start and how to keep going. You need to realise that “living in a certain way” will need to happen in your unique manner. There is in fact a set method to success in whatever endeavour you wish to embark on. (Want proof? Just look at the people who have achieved it before you.) Again it’s not as easy as the books make it sound. Nothing can prepare you for the obstacles you will face along the way. The mental and emotional battles that you will face have crippled many brave starters. Here, “living in a certain way” becomes crucial. I will share my method with you. (This is unique to me) It has worked for me and will serve as a guide to enable you to establish your own method and understanding of “living in a certain way.” My purpose is to work with people around the way they understand their environment and adjust to new input. I do so in order to help them best express their understanding and find the way that best works for them. But where does this leave you and “living in a certain way?” I have a rule that I try to keep myself by, while making sure others understand this as my way. “I give the best I can, to the best of my current capability in all actions I take.” “In return I expect the people in my immediate environment to deliver the same but at their current capability.” In addition I have recently added the following. “If it does not give me my desired results I simply stop the action and refocus on the ones that give results.” That’s it and remember that everyone will have a unique method. Spend some time thinking about my words, maybe read this article again, and then again a week later. Look at how you can “live in a certain way” to help you get closer to your goals.Every goal you would like to reach requires a certain way of conducting your life. Find your right way and it’s as good as done. As always, myself and many others are here to help you on your way. Feel free to ask at any time.Good luck and remember to have fun.

A Theatre Anecdote
The actors, John Gielgud and Hugh Griffith, once attended the same party.
At some point, Sir John began to amuse everyone by recalling the various productions of Shakespeare’s Tempest that he had seen.
He was especially critical of a particular production, saying that it had “quite the worst Caliban I have even seen.
He noticed how quiet Mr Griffith was and said, “You’re very silent, Hugh.
Upon which Hugh replied, “Not as a rule. I was just trying to recall my performance and wondering if you could possibly be right.”Footlight
