What is Kickstarter Really About? My journey in courage, faith & love.
I’m 18 days in the Kickstarter trenches and I can tell you that everything I h
ave heard about Kickstarter being a full time job is true! It’s constantly reaching out, posting, tweeting, sharing pics, writing personal emails, drafting e-mail blasts and basically doing all I can to stay in front of people as much as I can. In exchange for a few un-subscribers, a few pledges always come rolling in. And as someone who, prior to Lalita, never asked for anything, this has been a whole new realm of uncomfortable territory that I quickly had to adapt to and a life lesson that needed to be experienced.
For me Kickstarter has been a powerful tool in my own personal growth. A year ago, or even six months ago, if crowdfunding was mentioned my belly churned with fear. I thought I could NEVER do that, but in this whole Lalita journey, one of the things I’ve realized is never say never. When you invest so much time, energy, and love into your b
aby, you are willing to do almost anything (that doesn’t compromise morals) to have it thrive. I never thought I’d be photographing my own stuff or doing graphic design, but it happened because it had to get done. I assumed someone else could always do it better than me until I was put to the test; not only did I succeed, I thrived. I’ve now set a look and feel for my brand that no one else could have done because it came from me. Will I always shoot my own stuff? No, but the important lesson is that I know I can.
Beyond expanding my own capabilities as a human, the emotional lessons have been incredibly powerful. To say Kickstarter is a lesson in trust and faith would be a gross understatement. You spend years developing something only to put it out there for people to love, hate or care less. The truth is that when you have 
poured so much of yourself into something, it can be hard to separate yourself from the project. . .but you have to. If I tried to appeal to everyone, I’d fail miserably. I have to be okay with knowing that what I am creating will powerfully resonate with some and leave others not understanding Lalita at all. For me, knowing that I can inspire a core group gives me the faith to know that once I reach a larger audience, there will be even more women (and men) who resonate with this brand and it’s message. If I have achieved that, I have succeeded.
With every e-mail, post, and personal message, I have had to get really comfortable with rejection. I can say years of auditioning prepped me, and it certainly helped, but it takes an insane amount of courage to reach out to hundreds or thousands of people, knowing only a handful will even respond. However, the thing with contacting people is 
perseverance and an open mind; I realize now that so much of my support is coming from where I least expected it. It pays off to be nice to people and to be kind and generous (for a multitude of reasons) but in regard to Kickstarter, you never know who from your past could be your biggest supporter simply because you left them with a warm and fuzzy feeling about you. Kickstarter has also been a wonderful reason to reach out to people and to reconnect, even if it’s only a few lines of exchange, it’s more real than years of clicking likes on their Facebook postings.
Above all, Lalita and Kickstarter have been a lesson in receiving. I’ve always been the one who wanted to believe I could do it all, but truth is: I can’t. No one can because we do not live in a vacuum. I may be the face behind the campaign, but there are so many people who continue to help make this a reality. Not only have people taken time out of 
their lives to pledge or to share, but to help in the months of preparation for the campaign. Kickstarter has been a lesson in receiving love and being okay with that. It sounds so simple, but it’s one of the lessons I needed most. I needed to be comfortable with people loving me as much as I needed to be comfortable with them not.
I am a firm believer in “without risk, there is no great reward!” I believe that no matter the outcome of this Kickstarter campaign, I am winning. I had the courage to 
put my heart out there and leave a campaign’s success in the fate of both those who know me and complete strangers. I had the courage to continue a dream, despite the real possibility of not reaching a funding goal. I had the courage to leave the security of one company to follow my passions in another. And most of all, I had the courage to put myself and Lalita out in the world to be loved.

Oatmeal can help with weight loss because it contains soluble fiber, which can keep you feeling full. Steel-cut or rolled oats are the most nutritious and filling form of oatmeal to add to your diet. Avoid processed or instant oatmeal and don’t add too much sugar to your oats for the most health benefits.

I’d say that breast cancer patients are the majority of patients who come to us for help with weight gain. Weight gain is also extremely common among patients with prostate cancer, as well as lymphoma, multiple myeloma and chronic leukemia.

When it comes to hydration, water is the best option for people with diabetes. That’s because it won’t raise your blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels can cause dehydration. Drinking enough water can help your body eliminate excess glucose through urine.

There comes a time when endless deadlines, annoying boss, late nights, no set sleep schedules and the long travelling time finally takes a toll on health. It is that time when even your critical cup of espresso capitulates to terrible headaches. So, how do we deal with this problem, which keeps reoccurring every time we are about to reach our weekend time!

A ketogenic diet is typically not recommended for weight control because it is not superior to other more standard weight management plans and may be associated with health risks, including nutritional deficiencies.

You can’t just hop onto your bathroom scale and expect a spot-on measurement every time. The flooring your scale sits on (it should be on a hard surface), how you stand (weight even on both feet), and the clothes you wear (or don’t) need to be consistent. If not, you may see wildly different numbers.

A ketogenic diet puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. This is when your body will start breaking down the stored fat into tiny molecules. These will be used whenever your body needs the energy to function. Thereby, reducing the fat deposits in your body.

Hair is made up to keratin (protein). Consume protein diet to make your hair strong, shiny and luscious. Extreme low protein diets can cause hair fall. Ensure that you’ll add chicken, dairy products, eggs, legumes and nuts in your daily life for healthy hair. Consuming protein rich diet will help to increase hair growth.

Stress is the body’s response to a challenge or demand. Everyone experiences stress, which can be triggered by a range of events, from small daily hassles to major changes like a divorce or job loss. The stress response includes physical components such an elevated heart rate and blood pressure, thoughts and personal beliefs about the stressful event, and emotions, including fear and anger. Although we often think of it as being negative, stress can also come from positive changes in your life, like getting a promotion at work or having a new baby.

Drink water. Water is the key to life, and it turns out it’s also one of the easiest ways to help your metabolism. Drinking water increases your metabolism by up to 25% for nearly an hour after drinking it. That means if you drink a few cups of water every hour, you’ll keep your metabolism at peak performance all day.

Then the more you lose focus due to depression, the harder and more pointless it all seems. You get stuck in that loop. Similarly, anxiety and depression are linked. If it feels like you’re not getting enough done due to loss of concentration, then you can get anxious, which makes it even harder to concentrate.

Unfortunately, there is no way of reversing refractive error, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia. This type of visual difficulty can be treated with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. However, there are other reasons for diminished eyesight, such as macular degeneration, that respond favorably to nutritional changes. In that sense, there are foods to improve eyesight without glasses.

Everybody is different and the way you lose weight might also vary from another person. Not many of us know that belly fat can also be a result of stress. This is because when you are stressed, cortisol levels in the body rise, resulting in storage of fat around the belly area.

While anxiety and stress can play into neuropathy, they can’t actually damage your nerves. This means that stress isn’t a root cause of neuropathy. Even if you’re incredibly stressed every day for months, that by itself won’t cause damage to your nerves.

It takes time for the body to deplete fuel stores and mobilise fat stores and as such ensuring you are giving yourself enough time to lose weight is important. As a general rule of thumb, you will need at least 3-4 weeks to drop 3-5kg and up to 3 months to lose 10kg.
