One Tip To Help You Lose Weight.
Are you aware of the number of “Treats” you eat? I must admit…I am writing about treats because they are one of my achilles heels ;-). So, if you are stuck at a weight and “doing” everything right. I suggest you start to tally or track of all those treats that, “Don’t count.” This is what I mean when I use the term, “Treats.” Any foods that are low in nutrients and calorie dense. Things like, candy, refined breads, chips, desserts, ice cream, alcoholic beverages, etc). Basically, almost anything you chiefly consume for taste and pleasure, not for its nutrients. If losing weight...

Weight Loss Strategy for BIG Dinner Events
Ever had to much of a good thing? I am sure you have. As some of you know I grew in Brazil. In Brazil they have restaurants that are called Churrascarias. At a Churrascaria they serve primarily meat, in the States they are often called a Brazilian Steakhouse. If you enjoy eating lots of different kinds of meat, mainly beef, this is for you! Obviously, I LOVE Churrascarias, the only problem is when ever I go to a Churrascaria I always over do it. I get nostalgic and plus as a former 308 lbs offensive linemen (currently down to 212), I...
Celebrating a few of my AWESOME client RESULTS!
I hope you haven’t forgotten about this weeks challenge. As a reminder this week, I wanted you to set aside about 5 minutes and write a card, note, or a letter to someone with the purpose of encouraging them and making them feel special. I chose my awesome wife Beth if you remember. But I am really lucky, I have lots of clients who deserve to be reminded how awesome they are! They are just killing it in the studio and with their nutritional strategies and I generally don’t like to brag about how hard they work but they desire...
I MESSED UP YESTERDAY & PAID THE PRICE :-(
Last week we talked about Habit 9 - Meet Your Carb Needs Tactfully. Yesterday, I did not meet my carb needs tactfully ;-( and I paid the price on the scale. My mom saw and bought a new “health” item, it’s called, “Breyers delights.” I won’t lie it is a delight and the product when used responsibly is a real treasure! For a whole pint of Low fat ice cream it is only 270 calories, 67 grams of carbs, 20 grams of protein, 8 grams of fat. That is pretty amazing. What is not amazing, is that yesterday I only had...
