Develop These Two Habits For Fast Weight Loss
The Question? When I sit down with a new client we fill out paperwork, we talk about their goals, what they've done, where they want to go, excetera. One of the big questions that I ask every single time is, “What do you eat everyday?” I'm just trying to get a snapshot of their eating habits. More often than not I hear the following, “I don't eat breakfast, I just drink coffee.” or “I have coffee with a bagel or slice of toast with jelly.” In short, a lot of caffeine and a lot carbs Obviously this is less than ideal, especially if you...
Are you tired of hearing about food allergies and food sensitivity?
I know I am! I know I probably shouldn't be tired of it, cuz it's kind of important for my profession :-). But truth be known, I'm kind of sick of hearing about this. Yes, I get it they are both real conditions, and yes, I get it's important to understand the difference between the two. But if I'm being honest, I think they get little bit blown out of proportion. That being said, I am going to talk about food allergies and leaky gut. In doing so, I will show you the differences between food allergies and food sensitivities. Despite...
My Baby Girl Got A Knot On Her Head ?
“I get knocked down…” This morning I was able to go on a walk inside the mall with my family. I normally don’t get to do this, because I am too busy making people awesome inside my studio : ). My wife goes to the mall 3- 5 times a week and walks. This is her way of staying fit and not going insane because of the kids. As I said, I was able to go with her. The plan was I would keep the children entertained. I won’t lie, I was doing a fantastic job of it too! I was chasing...
If Increased Belly Fat Isn’t A Big Deal For You Then You Don’t Need To Read Any Further.
However, if it is a problem you need to keep reading. Cortisol has an erratic past and has long been a misunderstood hormone. Some refer to it as the “King” of all the hormones. Still others take its name in vain because of its ability to mess up your sleep cycles and add unwanted inches to your tummy. Regardless where you fall, whether you love cortisol or you hate it, you need to understand it and how it affects your health and life in general. So what is cortisol? This “King” hormone cortisol is created in your adrenal glands and its primary...
7 Reasons You Need Sleep To Lose Fat
You mean sleep is important? I hope this catches no one by surprise, but yes, sleep is extremely important. Now I won't lie, for the most part I've been extremely blessed in my ability to sleep. Ask my wife, when my head hits the pillow I'm pretty much done. Maybe, I have an issue with being able to sleep too easily. If the clock is anywhere near 8:30 PM and I am not actively doing something. I'm asleep. I just can't help myself. I try to stay awake, but if there's a movie on or we are trying to watch TV...
The Story Of The Two Wolves…
The Story Of The Two Wolves… Which Will You Feed? When I was about 13-14 years old I was training in a-hole-in-the-wall “gym” in Brazil. My parents were missionaries there for over 20 years. Anyway, there was an incident at the gym that I found morally difficult to say, “no” too. So I talked to my dad about what had occurred and how hard it was for me to say, “no.” This is the story he told me. An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. ‘A fight is going on inside me,’ he said to the boy. ‘It is a terrible fight...
Are Your Hormones Out of Whack?
Hormones are Like a Jacked UPS guy who is also a Vampire… Today we are talking about hormones. Hormones are both a blessing and a curse. When they're finely-tuned and function like they're supposed to they are a phenomenal blessing. However when they are out of whack, they are a major pain in the butt. To help you understand Hormones and their complicated path I'm going to break it down. The first thing you need to understand is want endocrine glands do. Endocrine glands create hormones, that is what they do. So when you hear endocrine glands think of a factory that...
When was the last time a piece of equipment or a doughnut has gotten you results?
Going to vent a little bit today. This morning I was waiting for some awesome clients to show up. They were running a little late, but the husband was the hero and lovingly encouraged the beautiful wife that they should get up and go to their training session. And lucky for the wife they made it, it was fantastic, if I do say so myself. They got to enjoy their customized workout, based on their personal goals. Now their legs and core are feeling blessed and they're closer to their goals :-). Anyway, I was waiting for them to show up and...
Secret “Amazonian” Fat-Loss Skills
Being Lean Is Habit Key idea, people who are lean are in the habit of being lean. They have been eating (practicing) being lean a long time. They didn’t get lean over night, just like I didn’t learn to play soccer over night. When I was 10 we moved to Brazil and in Brazil soccer is a religion. I was terrible, straight up terrible, plus I was morbidly obese which didn’t help (I was 225 and 10 years old, I weigh less now). The way I saw it, I had two options. “Accept my fate,” or do something about. I chose to...
Operation Thanksgiving Day Success
Thanksgiving is almost upon us. This glorious tradition began in 1621 with Governor William Bradford and later was declared a national holiday by George Washington in 1789 :-). It is hard to find an older tradition than humans coming together and feasting. Getting together, enjoying good food and family is always a celebration. However, it is easy for us especially during Thanksgiving to overdo the festivities and set ourselves back and have regrets after the holidays. How many calories do you consume during a Thanksgiving meal? I'm not going to lie, this is going to terrify you. The average Thanksgiving meal contains...
