⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kinga:
I love it! I ordered Somloi Dumpling flavor for after a workout. It's one thing that it's delicious, but I finally found a protein that doesn't make my stomach hurt or make me bloated. I've tried products from big brands, even lactose-free ones (because my lactose sensitivity hasn't been medically proven, but my body doesn't tolerate milk, I have no problem with other dairy products, just milk). And lactose-free made me bloated terribly. So I ordered this protein powder a little scared, but the product description (the extra digestive enzyme) convinced me. I'm so happy that I finally found my protein!!!!! Thank you!
❤️ Share this with everyone who finds dieting a DIFFICULTY!

According to Erik Erikson's theory of personality development, basic trust forms the foundation for all other qualities that develop throughout life.

→→★ We write a lot about trust on the Peak website. We rarely realize that trust in ourselves gives us strength to make decisions and builds self-confidence and perseverance.
→→★ Trust in others, on the other hand, is based on secure, honest, and cooperative relationships. Without it, uncertainty, misunderstanding, and loneliness can easily develop.
So, life is very difficult without trust, but we must place our trust in the right people. Who are these kind-hearted people, and how do we determine who we can trust?
→→★ You will find 3 methods below. I hope it helps you in your future life and in making better decisions.
→→★ Trust is fundamentally formed in us during early childhood. Trust is not a belief or a decision. It is a physiological state that arises from the shared experience and expression of security and connection between bodies, and which occurs far below the cognitive (thinking) level.
→→★ We can probably safely say that who you trust depends more on the signals you receive from the other person. What might these be?
According to a new study by Shimrit Fisher and colleagues (2025) at the University of Haifa, one form of trust can be defined based on whether the information is credible or not. Psychologists were the first to develop tools and theories related to trust.
The authors at the University of Haifa undertook to develop a tool that could serve as a useful aid in measuring the level of trust between two people. The Epistemic Trust Rating System (ETRS), which is the focus of their study, includes sharing, "we-ness" (mutual recognition of each other), and openness to learning.
→→★ The results confirmed the validity of this method, so here are the three dimensions and their indicators.
We emphasize that although these were developed in therapy, they appear to have more general characteristics that can be applied to any relationship or potential relationship between two people or two entities.
→→★ These are the lowest and highest points on the openness scales. If you see low scores in a person, they may not be the right person for you to trust:
1.→→★ Honest:
Low: Inherent resistance to sharing feelings and their value.
High: General preference for regular and honest sharing of feelings.
2.→→★ Speaks in "we" mode:
Low: Silence or interruptions, lack of clear language use, avoidance of revealing feelings.
High: High degree of mutual agreement with another person, taking on the other person's words, openness to the other person's perspective.
3.→→★ Learns and is teachable:
Low: Devaluing the opinions of others. Closed mindset.
High: Seeks behavioral patterns that lead to change and is willing to change. Open mindset.
→→★ How do we put this into practice? Who can you trust and who can't you trust?
As can be seen from these three areas of assessment, the "we-mode" may be the easiest to apply in everyday situations. Are we all in the same boat? Do they think about you, or only about themselves?
Dishonest people, or those who lie regularly, can be clearly and obviously removed from your life. You don't need them. They usually cause damage and are irresponsible.
The learning dimension can also play a huge role. Just think how much easier it is with someone who wants to learn from you? How much more developable is a human relationship when you learn from each other? We can learn from everyone, everyone is good at something, everyone has something divine in them - all it takes is openness.
→→★ One more little conclusion: (in whom NOT)
One of the findings of the U. Haifa study was that people with low levels of security actually "showed fear of rejection, alienation, and a cynical attitude toward human relationships."
Obviously, these individual differences can play a role in trust. If the other person shows these security issues and signs in your interactions, you will know that the road ahead may be challenging with that person.
In summary, these three indicators of relationship trust can serve as valuable guidelines for managing different relationships with others.
Trust in ourselves and in the right people helps us embark on a path toward happier fulfillment that comes from life-changing human relationships.

Instead of illusions, REALITY!
https://peakshop.eu/shop/special_offers/its_your_time
In the media, advertisements, and social media, we often encounter messages in which happy, smiling people have achieved quick results with the help of a certain diet, a certain health and fitness program, or exercise equipment.
→→★ These promises of quick, happiness-bringing results do not refer to the potential failures, negative reactions, or challenges that inevitably arise when we embark on a healthier lifestyle.
→→★ In other words, we are often encouraged to chase illusions without any indication of how many difficulties we will encounter along the way. So let's see things more clearly—we will spare ourselves a lot of disappointment. How?
→→★ When we begin to see a situation, a person, or ourselves more clearly, the illusions we previously held often disappear. This process can be painful, but it is also one of the keys to self-knowledge and maturity.
So if we are disappointed, it may be that we have nurtured illusions and have not seen clearly, so this clarity and insight helps us to create a more pleasant life. (Or we don't even get into "promising" situations.)
In psychology, this kind of pursuit of illusions is also called hedonistic. By definition, hedonistic activity means the pursuit of pleasure. The miracle capsule, the 5-day diet, and chasing the latest workout trend will inevitably lead to disappointment.
Hedonic activities are short-lived, require little effort, but do indeed produce pleasant feelings. On the other hand, a meaningful, principled, morally rich life requires more effort, thought, long-term commitment, and delayed gratification.
→→★ What does all this have to do with people who are already slim and muscular, happy and smiling?
People often expect to find the rainbow, the illusion, the miracle cure, the one thing that will put everything in its place.
No wonder we believe in illusions... who wants REALITY? :)
- Who would sign up for a diet that is full of long-term challenges, mental effort, and even pain?
- Who would want a diet program where we first work on our ego, which may take years and involve a lot of emotional work?
- Who would want a consumer lifestyle recommendation that requires changing 60-80% of their current habits?
→→★ When we become mature enough, we see that long-term and PERMANENT change is not a walk in the park, and we consciously choose the HARDER PATH.
This is exactly the process we need for lasting happiness and well-being. Personal development is the only path that guarantees lasting and real results.
So instead of instant gratification, what awaits us is development, which often comes in waves. During this learning process, we remain open to new methods in the world and deal with failures creatively. Ultimately, successfully dealing with failures can also be seen as a personal victory, which brings joy once again.
→→★ These victories can fuel interest in the actual process of change. It is a way to develop our perseverance as things unfold.
1. Oishi et al. (2020) note that a large part of developing lasting joy is learning to change our perspective. Instead of focusing only on the good outcome, the new perspective values the process as well as the outcome.
Managing the change process, implementing it slowly, and basing it on each person's history, preferences, and goals can help with the transition. One key factor in achieving this is to support people in developing their ability to rethink and reevaluate specific situations. "Are we sure we haven't learned from this, even if our plan didn't work out?"
2. Practicing flexible thinking can also help in dealing with negative emotional situations. It is very easy to distract ourselves with short-lived pleasures instead of spending time and mental effort on choosing a different strategy. "If it doesn't work this way, let's try something else."
The solution may be to firmly believe that these changes are possible. Long-term personal development is a lasting way to maintain your health and improve your appearance. Let's celebrate this journey together, which will bring deep, lasting happiness and well-being. (It's just harder and lasts a lifetime...).

Eat a rainbow! Have you heard this expression before, and do you know what it means?
After yesterday's rainbow parade in Hungary, rainbows are also significant for us in terms of our health.
(Note: Rainbows existed first, if we need to confirm this, before human symbols, emblems, and movements expressing diversity that use its colors. )
→→★ “Eat the rainbow!” - this expression is a simple concept that encourages you to eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables every day. The idea is more than just a pretty plate. Each color represents a different nutrient.
→→★ Eating the rainbow means eating a variety of colorful, plant-based foods. These colors reflect the presence of various phytonutrients, which are naturally occurring compounds in plants and have numerous health benefits, from fighting inflammation to enhancing brain function.
→→★ How can we incorporate this into our daily lives?
→→★By incorporating all colors into your meals, you provide your body with a wider spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that it needs to feel good. You don't have to COUNT ANYTHING.
Any method that relies on counting, i.e., using your mental willpower, can only be maintained in the short term—it will fail in the long run.
→→★ Eating colorful fruits and vegetables helps us in the following ways:
Protects the health of the immune system
Protects heart health
Promotes brain function
Maintains skin health
Promotes healthy digestion
Reduces inflammation
Reduces the risk of chronic diseases
Each color group contributes something special to your diet, and together they help protect your body against aging, disease, and nutrient deficiencies.
So when you hear “eat the rainbow,” that means red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, as well as white and brown foods.
→→★ Incorporating colorful foods into your diet doesn't have to be complicated. Try these strategies:
- Make your plate more colorful: Aim to eat at least three to four different colors at every meal.
- Shake boost: Add berries, spinach, carrots, or even beets to your Peak protein shake.
https://peakshop.eu/shop/categories/protein_shake
- Rainbow salads: Mix leafy greens with cherry tomatoes, grated carrots, red cabbage, and sliced peppers.
- Colorful snacks: Choose fruits such as oranges, grapes, or apple slices with 100% fruit juice, seeds, or Peak cream. You'll be amazed at how delicious they are!
https://peakshop.eu/shop/peak_girl/beauty_fats
- Plan by color: If you notice that a color is missing from your meals, be sure to add it to your plate the next day. We're NOT counting calories.
→→★ More tips for the rainbow diet:
- Buy seasonally: Seasonal products are usually fresher, cheaper, and tastier.
- Choose whole foods: Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables are best. Limit your consumption of canned products with added sugar or sodium.
- Try new foods: Step out of your comfort zone with products such as dragon fruit or purple sweet potatoes.
- Prepare in advance for snacking: Wash, cut, and store different vegetables so they are easily accessible.
- Get the family involved: Play games. Maybe a color collection contest.
If you eat the colors of the rainbow, this simple concept will keep you healthy in the long run. Each color has its own unique health benefits, and together they form an effective nutritional team.

6 ways we sabotage our OWN diets!
https://peakshop.eu/shop/special_offers/its_your_time
Almost half of women and men say they want to lose weight, but only about 1 in 4 actively try to achieve this. Everyone has been on a diet at some point in their lives. Perhaps the youngest was Ginnifer Goodwin (actress), who joined a Weight Watchers group at the age of 9.
That's a completely different story, and I don't want to get into it. Ginnifer said that she learned to eat normally there, as hamburgers were usually on her plate as a child. So let's definitely separate dieting and healthy living from “weight loss.”
I am neither against nor in favor of dieting. Everyone eats what they want, and sometimes it's difficult when we want to label even the most natural foods as diet or non-diet. Of course it doesn't work...
→→★ These are just words, just labels, mental positions, they don't matter. How do you feel? Are you healthy? Are you happy? Do you eat well while taking care of and respecting your body? I DON'T CARE about the rest. How are YOU?
→→★ I hope you understand what I'm getting at: I'm not going to argue with ANYONE about diets. You can call it a diet if you eat only fruit for two days because you feel that's what your body needs. It doesn't matter to me.
It's common for us to argue FOR or AGAINST something. When we do this, we waste our energy defending our mental position. We need to stop doing this.
As Barack Obama once said: You can disagree, but you don't have to be disagreeable. What does this mean? It means that we don't have to identify with the position we take for or against something.
Everyone should live in a way that is balanced. In addition to these mental attitudes, our biggest problem is how to maintain the results we have achieved. Thirty percent of dieters gain back more weight than they started with. The truth is that you have been too strict with your plans. The two most common mistakes are:
- the goal you set is unattainable and unrealistic (lose 10 kg in a month)
or
- you want to achieve your goal without any breaks. (I'm a dieting machine, I don't need breaks.)
→→★ That's why we've put together 6 ways to sabotage our exercise and diet plans:
→→★ 0. We don't know ourselves!
Yes, self-knowledge is the basis of our diet and our health. If we don't know what we like to do, how we want to live, what our current abilities are, and what traumas we have that are worth working on, then it is MUCH harder to achieve results. Let's start with this diet work too!
→→★ 1. Our plan is too strict or too fast!
If we decide that we are going to exercise for 2 hours every day, 7 times a week, then we are approaching a situation where our plans are already endangering our health. The same is true if, for example, you want to lose 10 kg per month from 80 kg.
In these cases, we set goals that can only be achieved with strong willpower, in other words, with great EFFORT. This comes at a price. We push everything else into the background in order to achieve our weight loss goals. During this great effort, we become mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, and this will cause us to regain the weight.
Solution: Set smaller and shorter-term goals. For example, lose 10 kg in 10-12 weeks. It takes longer, but we still have time to LIVE.
→→★ 2. We don't acknowledge our fears!
We know our desires (although sometimes not even that) quite well. We want to look good, and we can easily achieve and maintain that. Our fears, on the other hand, are emotions that we suppress as deeply as possible within ourselves, and therefore we usually have only a vague idea of them.
We have many fears, but here are a few that affect almost everyone who is on a diet:
- The biggest fear: WHAT IF I FAIL? (this is the most common)
- It's embarrassing to work out at the gym. I'm afraid of how people will judge me.
- What will others think about me dieting? I'm afraid of other people's opinions.
- Diet food is too expensive. I can't afford it! I'm afraid that my financial situation will be jeopardized.
- I don't have the willpower. You don't need willpower, you need knowledge. You need to know how to eat well in the long term, eating delicious food while still dieting. Stay here, learn with us - follow our page too!
Solution: Let's take a look at what fears are at work within us. None of the above are realistic, and many are based on what OTHERS think of you. Who cares? Usually, everyone is preoccupied with themselves....
→→★ 3. We use food as a reward!
Perhaps this is how our parents approached food when we were children. If we behaved well, we got ice cream. When we diet, the same behavior pattern can be activated in us. This is not a problem if we are AWARE of it. It's okay to cheat on our diet sometimes. If we reward ourselves every day, we are no longer dieting.
Solution: Instead of rewarding yourself with food, reward yourself with something else. Buy a good book or go to the movies. Leaving your phone at home today also works. Anything else can be your reward, except food.
→→★ 4. Please get enough sleep!
Many of us don't realize that there is a connection between obesity and lack of sleep. The reverse is also true: you need less sleep when you are dieting.
If you are tired, either physically or mentally, you are sure to end up eating something sweet. If you are stressed, it is harder to stick to your diet.
Solution: Go to bed on time and pay as much attention to your sleep as you do to your diet.
→→★ 5. We overestimate the effect of exercise!
You probably know that 70% of your body's changes are due to your diet. How many times have we told ourselves that we can have a pizza now and just work out more tomorrow?
- If you eat more, you won't lose weight.
- If you work out more and eat more, you won't lose weight.
- If you eat right, you will lose weight. (Whether you work out a little or a lot.)
Solution: Focus on your diet and what you eat. It doesn't matter what sport you do or how much, just do something to help your metabolism.
→→★ 6. We view dieting as a period of starvation!
Instead of counting calories every day and going on strenuous, short-term crash diets, we need to develop a lifestyle that we can maintain over the long term. This will help you maintain your figure for 80 years. So this is the BIG PICTURE about dieting and our health.
Solution: Small changes and improvements will shape your life so that you feel good in the PRESENT and on the WAY, while also moving towards something

S*x until the age of 90? Let's learn from a guru!
https://peakshop.eu/shop/special_offers/its_your_time
I am sending you an interesting and TRUE story about how we can enjoy an active s*x life even at the age of 90. It is said that Jack Lalenne, the father of modern fitness, and his wife were still enjoying their s*x life at this age.
Clint Eastwood and Arnold Schwarzenegger also talk about him on his website. What can we learn from Jack?
Our bodies are always capable of maintaining a healthy hormonal system, even at the age of 70, 80, or 90. Jack was an American fitness trainer, nutritionist, and motivational speaker. He was at his peak at the age of 34, when, in 1953, millions of people across America watched his television programs on healthy living.
He always seemed to be in great shape, full of energy, and even at the age of 96, his libido was still going strong.
The fact is that higher testosterone levels and a regular s*x life affect almost every area of a man's life, and I would add that this also reduces the likelihood of heart disease.
The fact is that women who have a regular s*x life show signs of this. Their charisma and attitude change when s*x is part of their lives, and they attract similarly energetic and vibrant people.
How did Lalanne do it?
Lalanne blamed processed foods for health problems as early as the 1950s. She lived on meat and vegetables for most of her life. He ate meat three times a day with eggs, fruits, and vegetables. He followed a vegetarian diet for six years, but later always emphasized combinations of vegetables and fish in his recommendations. Of course, even back then, around 1953, he used dietary supplements and vitamins.
In his television programs, he recommended the following diet:
Breakfast: fruit, eggs and/or meat, whole grain toast
Lunch: large portion of salad, meat or fish
Dinner: large portion of salad, 2 other vegetables, meat and fruit
He avoided eating between meals. He exercised in the morning, doing about two hours of training, and then ate boiled egg whites, a little meat broth, oatmeal with soy milk, and seasonal fruit. He and his wife often ate raw vegetables, egg whites, and fish.
LaLanne introduced two basic rules regarding nutrition:
- If it was made by humans, don't eat it (i.e., if it's processed food, forget it).
- If it's too delicious, spit it out.
LaLanne received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007 and continued his daily 2-hour workouts until he was 90 years old. He often said, “I didn't want to die because then I would ruin the image I had built up!”
But here's the point:
When asked about s*x, he always said: Even though I am old, I have s*x with my wife every day. “I need to live LIFE!” LaLanne's philosophy can be summed up as follows: Dying is easy. Living is hard.
You have to exercise and eat healthily for this beautiful human body to function well. The more you put into it, the longer you can live a GOOD life. Exercising, eating well, and reducing mental work: start meditating, JUST ONE DECISION. We can start TODAY.

A hidden parallel between s*x and food? Please be open-minded!
We live in a culture that is quick to judge what goes on behind closed doors—whether it's someone's late-night snacking habits or watching p**n.
https://peakshop.eu/shop/special_offers/its_your_time
These seemingly different behaviors appear to have more in common than we might think. Understanding the parallels between food and p**nography can revolutionize our attitudes toward both and lead to healthier intimacy in our digital age.
→→★ I ask for your openness so that together we can surpass ourselves TODAY. Scroll down for the article, and I am also sending you the June Peak Discounts with love:
https://peakshop.eu/shop/special_offers/its_your_time
→→★Scientists call these supernormal stimuli: p**n and food, artificially enhanced versions of things that we naturally find rewarding.
If we are not careful, people can become addicted to the exaggerated s*xual images/videos in p**nography or the intense sweet, salty, and fatty combinations found in processed foods.
This is not a design flaw in our brains. It is a feature that once helped our ancestors survive. The problem is that modern technology has created artificial stimuli that are much more intense than our evolutionary programming anticipated.
→→★ Here's where it gets interesting: neither food nor p**n consumption is driven solely by biological needs.
People turn to both for emotional regulation and use them as tools to deal with negative feelings, loneliness, and stress. When someone reaches for ice cream after a breakup or browses p**n while feeling isolated, they are not responding to hunger or s*xual arousal—they are seeking comfort.
Loneliness is a significant predictor of both disordered eating and p**nography use. In our increasingly isolated world, both can be easily accessible substitutes for human intimacy and companionship. Food becomes a “companion” during times of difficult emotions, while p**nography offers the illusion of s*xual connection without the vulnerability of real relationships.
→→★ Both behaviors serve as self-soothing mechanisms when our emotional regulatory system is overwhelmed. Research shows that people who have difficulty managing their emotions are more likely to develop problematic relationships with both food and p**nography. They provide immediate, easily accessible relief from anxiety, depression, shame, and other unpleasant feelings—creating a temporary escape that can become a habit over time.
This emotional support explains why both can become compulsive. When life seems overwhelming, the promise of instant pleasure and distraction becomes incredibly appealing, even when we know it doesn't serve our long-term well-being.
→→★Perhaps most surprisingly, research shows that excessive restriction of food or p**nography often backfires spectacularly.
Studies on dietary restrictions show that strict control often leads to cycles of restriction followed by overeating. When people try to completely eliminate “forbidden” foods, their cognitive resources become depleted, making them more likely to overeat when their willpower weakens.
Similarly, completely avoiding p**nography can lead to a psychological backlash, making the forbidden behavior even more appealing.
→→★ Shame: the common enemy.
Both food and s*xuality carry intense moral judgment in our culture. We shame people for their eating habits and s*xual behavior, creating an environment where people feel compelled to hide their struggles. This shame exacerbates the problem—when people feel judged for their behavior, they are less likely to seek help and more likely to engage in secretive, potentially problematic patterns.
→→★ Understanding these parallels opens up new possibilities for approaching eating and s*xuality.
Instead of demonizing them, we can recognize that these are complex behaviors that serve multiple psychological functions. Changing our attitude toward compassion and understanding seems key to developing healthy coping mechanisms as we are surrounded by ever-increasing temptations.
→→★Our emotional health does not lie in restrictions and shame, but in developing emotional intelligence, genuine relationship skills, and compassion for ourselves. When we address the underlying needs that trigger compulsive eating and p**nography use—the need for comfort, connection, and emotional regulation—we create space for more authentic intimacy to unfold.
Instead of asking, “How can we stop these behaviors?” we can ask, “How can we meet our deeper needs in healthier ways?”
This shift in perspective transforms the conversation from control to understanding, from judgment to curiosity, from shame to healing.
By recognizing the commonalities in our relationships with food and p**nography, we can develop a more sophisticated and effective approach to both, and ultimately create space for the intimate relationships we truly desire. With ourselves and with others.
