The Most Overlooked Fat-Loss Tip

Often times I’m approached by a frustrated person who can’t seem to drop the weight. They tell me that they exercise, they eat healthy, and they drink plenty of water. So why can’t I lose weight? they ask. Not only are they frustrated, but they are getting close to losing hope that they will ever lose the stubborn pounds that plague them.

Do you want to know what I ask them? It is a simple question that usually reveals the problem behind their inability to lose weight.

How often do you eat each day?

The most frequent answer that I get is 2-3 times each day. Most of us are fooled into thinking that in order to 1ose weight we should eat as little as possible, this is simply not true.

The problem with going for an extended period without eating is simple: your body thinks you are starving. As a result your metabolism slows to conserve energy and when you do eat the food will be put into storage – also known as fat.

Want to lose fat? Eat 4 to 6 small meals a day to easily kick your metabolism into high gear.

Eating smaller meals throughout the day forces your body to burn calories all day long and the results are amazing. When you begin to eat in a “grazing” fashion your body will respond by dropping unwanted pounds.

This is probably not the first time that you have heard this tip – but, if you are like most unsatisfied fitness enthusiasts, then you simply don’t do it.  Why not? As far as weight 1oss tips go, this is about as easy at they get…so why the resistance? Here are the top 3 excuses that I hear:

1. I don’t have the time

Now you and I both know that, no matter how stressful or demanding your job is, you can still find 5 minutes every few hours for a snack. The issue here is not that you don’t have the time – it is that you just aren’t making it. Sure, old habits are hard to break and maybe you have a set time that you like to eat everyday. That is fine – don’t change the usual mealtimes, just add a couple of snacks throughout the day to keep from going hours on end without food, and then eat a little less at your regularly scheduled meals.

1. I tried it and it didn’t work

I simply don’t believe it. There is no way that you really tried it and it didn’t work. The formula is simple: small meals every 4-6 hours. Emphasis on the word small. These aren’t four course meals…If this is your story then read on for a sure-fire plan to make this tip work for you.

1. I forget to eat

When you first start eating 4-6 small meals instead of 2-3 there will be a bit of an adjustment time. If your body is used to going for hours on end without food, then you may not feel hungry when it is time for your next small meal. The key here is to be as organized as possible. Think ahead and pack small meals so that they are ready to go. With a little effort you will be eating every few hours like clockwork.

Your Fool-Proof Plan:

• Eat small nutritious meals every 3 hours throughout the day, eat your first within 30 minutes of waking.
• Make sure that each meal contains quality protein, complex carbohydrates, mono-unsaturated fats and fiber.
• Your goal is to eat more often, not more calories each day.
• Keep a food log – write down what you eat when you eat it and take time to review your progress.
• What should you eat? Whole grains, fresh fruits, lean protein and veggies.

I encourage you to use this powerful weight 1oss strategy in your own quest for a fit and healthy lifestyle. Better yet, contact me and together we will create a specialized plan for your success. Call or email me today – I look forward to working with you.

Who is the FITTEST of us all?

Recently Men’s Fitness released their annual list of the top 10 fittest and fattest cities in the country – did you see it? I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to point out the factors that go into making a city fit or fat, and how this filters down to our own lives and individual fitness levels.

But first, let’s take a look at the list…

So what makes a city fit or fat? According to Neal Boulton, editor of Men’s Fitness, the survey examines lifestyle factors in each city such as number of fast food restaurants and the average amount of television each household watches. All of these lifestyle factors were tallied to rank each city as either fit or fat.

We will touch more on lifestyle factors later…

You may be wondering, as I was, what motivated Boulton to create such a list. His answer, “to motivate folks to look at simple things in their lives they can do to be healthy.” He is concerned that America is always going to be a fast-food nation where people have long commutes and busy lives. But instead of a soft drink during the commute, he suggests, they can choose water; instead of a fast-food snack, they can eat almonds.

Another reason he publishes the list is to grab the attention of mayors and governors – after all, what mayor wants their city to be named the fattest in the nation?

“There’s a consciousness among mayors that they can motivate the population and go beyond the PR.,” said Boulton. “It’s more than just having a mayor run the marathon. That doesn’t motivate people. What motivates people is starting a Fit City program. … It takes action.”

Let’s look at the top 4 lifestyle factors that were used to compare cities, and examine how each one has a hand in your own fitness level:

1. Number of Gyms: While you don’t control the number of gyms in your city, you do have control over your own workout schedule. Take the time to exercise, preferably 3-5 times per week, and watch you personal fitness factor skyrocket.

1. Nutrition: This is broken down into the percentage of people in the city that eat 5 or more servings of fruits and veggies each day. What a great goal to have for yourself – imagine actually eating 5 or more servings of fresh fruits and veggies every day. It is a simple goal, but one that will dramatically increase your energy level.

1. Exercise/Sports: This is calculated by the number of city residents who are involved in fitness-related activities. Here is a simple way to join in this number: get started on a fitness program today – simply call me and together we will create a program that is designed around your goals.

1. Junk Food: Surveyors looked at the total number of fast-food places, pizza parlors, ice cream and doughnut shops in each city. Again, you don’t have control over the number of fast-food joints in your city, but you do control the frequency in which you partake in less-than-fit-fare. Enjoy in moderation.

Frankly it doesn’t matter what city made the fit or fat list. The fact of the matter is that you and I have full control of our lifestyle and eating habits. And best of all I’m here to help guide you to your fitness goals. Now all you have to do is reply to this email or call me at the number above and we can get your journey to fitness started!

Too Old to Exercise?

So you’ve slacked off a bit and avoided exercise.

Maybe your job demands too much of your time or you simply fell out of the routine. I have news for you. Whether you’ve taken off one year, ten years or haven’t exercised a day in your life – it’s never too late to start.

You see there are problems with living a life devoid of exercise. Big problems.
Your weight rises along with your blood pressure and cholesterol. Your muscles and joints degenerate at an astounding rate leaving you with daily aches and pains. Your body becomes weak, making you susceptible to all kinds of medical issues.

Why Should I Start Now? You’ve heard about the benefits that consistent exercise bring, but what if you haven’t been consistent? Should you even start at all? This has been the subject of many medical studies and the results are unanimous:

Exercise helps improve your quality of life even if you start late.

Researchers are constantly finding new benefits to consistent exercise. It’s no wonder that Dr. Robert Butler, of the National Institute on Aging, once said “If exercise could be put into a pill, it would be the single most prescribed medicine in the world.”

Imagine if a pill could offer all of these benefits (without harmful side effects):

• Substantially reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and osteoporosis
• Decreases the risk for stroke, colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure
• Helps to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight
• Contributes to healthy bones, muscles and joints
• Helps relieve anxiety and depression
• Promotes well-being and reduces stress
• Is associated with fewer doctor visits, hospitalizations and medications
• Helps prevent and treat chronic medical conditions associated with old age
• Increases energy levels and promotes sound sleep
• Strengthens immune system

I know that I would take that pill – wouldn’t you? Exercise may not be something that you can gulp down with a glass of water, but it will offer you all of the above benefits that can greatly enhance your quality of life.

Excuses, excuses, excuses…

I know what you are thinking. Those benefits sound great, but I can’t exercise because:

• Exercise is painful. Not if you do the type most suitable for you.
• Exercise is boring. Most people who exercise find it to be quite enjoyable.
• Exercise takes too long. It only takes 30-60 minutes a day.
• Exercise is confusing. Not when you work with a trained professional (me).
• Exercise if for young people. Studies have shown that exercise if for all ages.

Get Started the Right Way. Many people have started an exercise program only to quit days later. Now that you have decided that exercise may be worth your time after all, ensure your success with the following tips:

• Make a Commitment

You know the meaning and value of a solid commitment. It’s in your blood. So don’t view exercise as something you will merely try. You will only reap the true benefits of exercise when you stick with it.

A great way to reinforce your commitment is to solicit the support of your friends and family. Tell them how you plan to improve your health and quality of life through exercise – who knows, they may join you.

• Set Reachable Goals

This is an immensely important ingredient to your success. Don’t start your exercise program with unreasonable expectations. If you expect to lose all of your unwanted pounds, drop your blood pressure and cure your joint pain all in one week then you will be sorely disappointed.

Remember that it took years for your body to fall out of shape so it makes sense that it will take some time to regain it. The key to unlocking all of the benefits of exercise lies in one word: consistency. Only then will your body be transformed.

• Rearrange Your Schedule

They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. This may be because his schedule simply didn’t allow for it. The truth is that as we age there is a tendency to become ’stuck in our ways.’ The thought of rearranging your schedule may leave you a bit squeamish.

Remind yourself that exercise is worth your time and then think long and hard about your daily schedule. The fact is that you do have time to lend toward exercise – you simply need to find it. Set aside 30-60 minutes for exercise and then stick with it.

• Increase the Challenge

You should start your exercise program with the thought of easing into it. Since you haven’t exercised in awhile your body will need to build up strength and endurance. Consider a car that has been sitting in your garage for years. You wouldn’t turn it on and instantly slam down on the gas would you? You need to warm it up.

However, this warm up period should not last forever. Your body has an amazing ability to adapt to new challenges and will grow complacent when asked to do the same exercises over and over. When your routine begins to feel easy take that as a hint to increase the challenge.

I want to help you achieve all of the benefits that consistent exercise can bring you. Call or email today and together we will design an exercise program that will enhance the quality of your life.

Don’t let another day pass you by. You deserve the good life. Take action now.

The Truth about Walking

You know that exercise promotes better health. Your doctor tells you to get more exercise. The government puts out official exercise recommendations for you to follow. And I’m always ranting about the importance of regular exercise.

So you go on a walk and then pat yourself on the back. Exercise accomplished-right?

This begs the question: Can you get fit by walking?

A research team at the University of Alberta took this question on in a detailed study. They compared a group that took part in a walking program with a group that did a traditional fitness routine at moderate intensity.

The results? The fitness level of the walkers was significantly lower than those who did traditional exercise at moderate intensity. Here is what the lead researcher, Dr. Vicki Harber, had to say:

“Generally, low-intensity activity such as walking alone is not likely to give anybody marked health benefits compared to programs that occasionally elevate the intensity.”

Harber went on to say that, “You’ve go to do more than light exercise and move towards the inclusion of regular moderate activity, and don’t be shy to interject an occasional period of time at the vigorous level.”

Hmmm, so walking for exercise won’t give you the health benefits that more challenging exercise delivers. What does this mean for your walking routine? Is there any place in fitness for walking?

What walking can do for you…

Don’t get me wrong-there is a place for walking in fitness. If you are brand new to exercise then walking is the first activity that you’ll need to master. Walking is a wonderful activity for you if your body is overweight, under conditioned and simply unaccustomed to moving much.

Look at walking as a stepping stone to fitness. It transitions you from the couch to the gym. Walking is just a notch above not moving-you’ll burn a few calories and warm up unused muscles.

The problem comes when your exercise routine begins and ends with walking.

You see, like the study above pointed out, walking just won’t deliver results. Your body is so efficient in its ability to adapt that you have to increase your exercise intensity in order to see results.

Beyond walking…

Once you have mastered brisk walking, you are ready for a new challenge, namely, resistance training. If you haven’t tried resistance training then it may sound a little scary.

Isn’t resistance training just a fancy word for ‘lifting weights’? And don’t you have to be an athlete to lift weights?

I understand your reservations about beginning a resistance training program, however the facts are undeniable-in order to achieve substantial health and fitness results you must use resistance training. Besides, you will soon find resistance training to be quite enjoyable and not something exclusive to athletes.

What are the benefits of Resistance Training? Just to name a few…

• Increase in muscle strength and tone
• Increase in metabolism (this means extra fat burning)
• Increase in bone density
• Injury prevention
• Improved posture
• Improved health (lowered blood pressure and cholesterol; lowers your risk for adult-onset diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers)
• Improved mood and self esteem

Wow-that’s an impressive list of benefits. Resistance training is simply the way to go when you want to get fit. Couple a resistance training program with a challenging cardiovascular routine and you will be well on your way to achieving all of your fitness goals.

If you aren’t seeing results with your current exercise program then it is time to give me a call.

Let’s get you started on a program that offers the resistance training and cardiovascular challenge that your body needs. Contact me now!

The Ultimate Prescription

These days it takes more than an apple a day to keep the doctor off your back.

The good doc is going to pester you about your blood pressure and cholesterol levels – apple or not. And who can blame him?

According to the American Heart Association, 105.2 million adults have borderline to high risk blood cholesterol levels. In addition, nearly one in three adults suffers from high blood pressure. And these numbers grow every year.

So what do you do? Pop a pill and try not to think about it? Or maybe you don’t even bother to have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked – what you don’t know can’t hurt you, right?

Whether you’ve had your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked lately or not, these conditions are deadly and sneaky – many people are unaware of the danger lurking in their own arteries.

What’s so bad about high blood pressure and cholesterol levels? In a nutshell, these conditions raise your chances for having a stroke, kidney failure, heart disease or heart attack. Here’s the lowdown:

Blood Pressure is recorded in two numbers. The first describes your systolic blood pressure. This is the pressure when your heart is squeezing blood out. The second is your diastolic blood pressure. This is the pressure between heartbeats, when your heart is filling with blood.

The ideal blood pressure to have is 120/80 or lower. Blood pressure that falls between 120/80 and 140/90 is considered to be prehypertension – meaning that your blood pressure is higher than normal. If your blood pressure is 140/90 or higher then you officially have high blood pressure.

Cholesterol is also recorded in two numbers – high – density lipoproteins (HDL) and low – density lipoproteins (LDL). The distinction between HDL and LDL is actually quite important – LDL delivers cholesterol to your body while HDL removes cholesterol from your bloodstream. In other words, HDL cholesterol is good and LDL cholesterol is bad.

When there is extra cholesterol in your bloodstream it lines your arteries, causing them to narrow. These deposits can block an artery that flows to your heart – resulting in a heart attack, or they can block an artery that flows to your brain – resulting in a stroke.

The ideal cholesterol level to have is a number less than 200. Between 200 and 239 you are considered to have borderline high cholesterol, and 240 or higher puts you in a danger zone.

Will exercise really help lower your high blood pressure and improve my cholesterol levels? It sure will – and here’s how:

Weak Heart Muscles pump little blood with lots of effort. By exercising you strengthen your heart muscles and train them to pump more blood with less effort. The stronger your heart is the less pressure will be exerted on your arteries.

Exercise Increases HDL levels in some people – this means a decrease in your risk for heart disease. Other heart disease risk factors such as weight, diabetes and high blood pressure all show improvement with regular exercise.

Let’s be totally honest for a moment. Sure, you may be taking medication, but you need to fix the problem rather than simply hold it off.

If exercise isn’t currently part of your lifestyle you will be amazed at how it will improve your health once you start. I’m sure your doctor could share a myriad of success stories involving people just like you who dramatically improved their blood pressure and cholesterol through exercise.

Health. Isn’t that what we all ask for in the New Year?

Exercise is the answer.

The benefits of a consistent and challenging exercise program are numerous – did you know that exercise will even improve your sleep?

I am in a unique position to assist you in grabbing onto the good health that you deserve. Call or email me today to schedule your fitness assessment and get started on an exercise program that will change your life.

How Important is Nutrition?

You may wonder why I rant and rave about your eating habits in this newsletter so often. I mean, I’m a personal trainer-not the author of a dieting book. Why don’t I leave the diet talk for someone else and focus only on my true passion-exercise?

To be perfectly honest, I would love to discuss only exercise. To divulge how I can sculpt the human body into a finely tuned machine of strength and agility. However, it just wouldn’t be practical to ignore your diet.

You see, I write this newsletter to benefit you. My purpose is to give you practical tips that you can use to improve your health and fitness level-today.

Which leads us to the disturbing truth…

Your diet is ruining your body.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but someone had to say it. I can talk about exercise until I am blue in the face, but until you take charge of your diet, it would all be in vain.

Today’s statistics show that nearly 60% of the population is currently overweight or obese. While this is shocking, according to a new study reported by WebMD, three out of four US adults will be overweight or obese by the year 2015. That’s 75% of us.

Wow, those are some scary numbers. I certainly don’t want to become part of that statistic, and I know you don’t either.

So what’s the deal? Why are we getting fatter and fatter? It all comes back to that little word…diet. The diet of today’s adult is simply out of control. Here’s why:

• Portions gone wild. It all started in the 1970’s. Restaurants began to increase their portions and as a result the unsuspecting public ate more. Since then portions have continued to grow and most people continue to clear their plates despite the extra calories.
• Convenience food mayhem. Junk food used to be only found in vending machines-not so today. Have you ever noticed how the checkout line in the supermarket has changed in recent years? It used to be stocked with gum, mints and a few candy bars. Now everything from potato chips to cookies sit within arm’s reach. Very few people get through their day without consuming some kind of convenience food.
• Fast food fallout. How many fast food restaurants do you pass on your way to work? Probably more than you can count. How many times do you stop in for a quick bite? Probably more times than you would like to admit. Fast food has never been more available than it is today-and it shows in the waistline.

Here’s something you may not know: If you were to exercise everyday of the week but failed to change your eating habits from those listed above, you wouldn’t see any visible results.

Now don’t get me wrong-exercise is a vital ingredient for improving your fitness level, health and the shape of your body. Exercise and good nutrition go hand-in-hand. You won’t make progress toward your goals without them both.

So where does this leave you? The way I see it, you are faced with an opportunity. With just a few small changes to your daily eating habits you could be well on your way to having an incredible body. Couple this with an exercise program and you will be unstoppable.

Keeping with my goal to give you practical tips to improve your health and fitness level, here are three ways to improve your diet.

1. Slash your portions. Even though that mountain of pasta looks great, remind yourself that it is three or four times more than you really need to eat, and those extra calories are going to land right on your waist. Consciously make an effort to reduce your portions at each meal and watch how your weight shrinks and your energy soars.
2. Pack your snacks. Instead of turning to a bag of chips or packaged cookies in mid afternoon, reach for a piece of fruit instead. It only takes a few minutes to pack healthy snacks for your day, and it will save you a boatload of extra calories. Convenience food is packed with sugar, fat and empty calories that will only leave you more sluggish and uncomfortable than you are today
3. Cut out one fast food meal per week. If you currently eat 5 fast food meals each week then only eat four this week. Next week reduce that number down to three. And then two, and then one. Once fast food isn’t a regular part of your diet you should look at it as something to be had as a treat-not a dietary staple.

Now that you have three simple ways to drastically improve your eating habits, this brings us back to exercise. You need regular challenging exercise in order to achieve and maintain results. It’s as simple as that.

Did the Cavemen Have it Right?

What comes to mind when you think of a caveman? Probably a towering neanderthal-like man with rippling muscles foraging through the wilderness with a spear in one hand and a limp fish in the other. Depictions of cavemen are always hairy, always strong and always with a few extra pounds around the middle – oh wait!

Cavemen men were lean, mean, muscle machines!

A recent movement has rushed our nation. It’s name? The Paleo Diet. Maybe you have heard about it on popular talk shows or seen the name splashed across book covers at your local bookstore. The premise of this new diet?

Eat like a caveman and look like a caveman (you know…low body fat, rippling muscles, plentiful body hair…)

Loren Cordain, Ph.D., a professor of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State University, recently penned the book The Paleo Diet in which he describes and promotes a pre-historic menu. Along with a decrease in bodyfat, Cordain says that followers of the diet will experience a lower risk for health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, many kinds of cancer, osteoporosis, asthma, and a host of digestive diseases, along with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Cordain goes on to say that most of the chronic illnesses of our time are a direct result of poor eating habits.

The Caveman Menu: So what did the cavemen eat? Great question! The parameters of the Paleo Diet can be summed up in 6 simple ground rules.

Rule #1: Eat all the lean meats, fish and seafood that you want.
Rule #2: Eat all the fruit and non-starchy vegetables that you want.
Rule #3: Cereal is not allowed.
Rule #4: Legumes are not allowed.
Rule #5: Dairy products are not allowed.
Rule #6: Processed foods are not allowed.

Rave Reviews: Despite its stringent requirements, the Paleo diet is converting new followers by the boatload. Most people report losing 10 or more pounds in their first month on the diet. Others say that when they eat like a caveman they no longer feel bloated and sleepy after meals.

Should You Eat Like a Caveman? So, in light of the proclaimed benefits above, should you throw out your spaghetti and breadsticks in exchange for a hunk of meat and pile of veggies?

Not so fast.
Though the Paleo diet has been proven to promote weight loss, times have changed since cavemen roamed the earth. Namely, who has time to hunt down a dinner of lean meat while nibbling on a handful of leafy greens?

Yeah…I didn’t think so.

So, where do you go from here? You want to lose weight, to protect yourself from disease and to look and feel great, right? Of course you do.

A great solution, that doesn’t require drastic dietary restrictions, is to gleam 3 sound bits of advice from the caveman – advice that will promote weight loss, decrease your risk of disease and will get you looking and feeling great.

1. Eat More Fruits and Veggies: You’ve heard it before, whether from your mother or through a ‘5 a day’ campaign. So why is it that 5 daily servings of fruits and veggies still eludes you? Try keeping ready-to-eat produce on hand rather than produce that requires prep time. This will make for a healthy on-the-go snack, which can easily replace processed, packaged and nutrient-deficient convenience food.

2. Cut Down Processed Food Consumption: This goes hand-in-hand with eating more fruit and veggies! As was just mentioned, a simple way to promote weight loss and to encourage good health is to eliminate processed foods from your diet. When you replace processed foods with fresh produce your results will be phenomenal. Not only will you feel healthier, you will have more energy than you know what to do with!

3. Be Active: Since you will need an outlet for all that extra energy, acquire a new hobby – one that gets you moving. Have you ever met a lazy caveman? Of course not. (And this is not just because you were born a few centuries too late!) Cavemen were forced to be active in order to survive. Hunt dinner. Build a fire. Move a fallen tree. Create shelter. You get the idea… If you want a lean, muscular body then exercise must become a part of your daily life.

This is where I come in! I want to meet with you, one-on-one, to design an exercise program that will fit your unique goals. Call or come in today to get started!

Can You Get Thin by Eating
Thin Mints?

You may have heard the buzz lately about Girl Scout cookies. It is that time of year again – when millions of Girl Scout cookies infiltrate homes all around the globe – but this year there has been a widely publicized change in the beloved cookies.

The trans fats have been removed.

That’s right, each shiny box of Thin Mints, Carmel deLites and Peanut Butter Patties will be stamped with a “Zero Trans” label. And just like that, the Girl Scouts get major press on how “health conscious” they are…just like the pastries at a certain coffee chain and even a major US city (New York).

So let’s address the real issue at hand: Does the removal of trans fats make food healthy?

Here’s the short answer: No

Sorry to burst your bubble there, but you deserve to know the truth. Yes, trans fats are unhealthy. Yes, trans fats have been proven to be of no use or benefit to your body. Yes, trans fats have been linked to an increase in heart disease.

Bottom line: trans fats are bad.

But simply removing trans fats from an unhealthy food item doesn’t magically make that item healthy. A cookie is a cookie is a cookie. It is still loaded with sugar and saturated fat with the main ingredient being empty calories.

I’m not telling you this to discourage you from supporting the Girl Scouts. I’m telling you this to keep you from the disillusion that the media tries so hard to harness you with.

Eating Thin Mints won’t make you thin – not even “Zero-Trans” Thin Mints.

So where does this leave you? My desire is that you will approach the “news” about trans fats and other “health” developments with a discerning eye. Yes, it would be great if scientists created a junk food that really was good for our health and made us thin – but we would be foolish to believe it.

There is only one way to a healthy and fit body, and that is through proper eating and regular exercise. It isn’t a trendy solution or a ‘news worthy’ discovery, but the fact is that it works every time.

Wouldn’t you like to take control of your body once and for all? I have a secret for you…it isn’t going to be as hard as you think. Good habits are just as addictive as bad ones. Once you begin your journey towards a fitter, healthier, sexier you, nothing will stop you from achieving your goal.
