Secret to GUILT-FREE Dinner

, , , , , , ,

Are the dinners that you cook healthy? Think so, but not sure?

If your weight loss has slowed, or even stopped, then there are improvements to be made in your dinner routine.

I’ve made 5 guidelines so that you’ll know if your meals are healthy and fitness friendly. And as a result you’ll experience healthy weight loss.

Check out these 5 Easy Steps to Guilt-Free Dinner…

Step #1: Choose Quality Ingredients

These are the building blocks to a healthy meal. While you certainly don’t need to dine in gourmet restaurants in order to ensure quality ingredients, you should pay attention to the quality of the foods you eat.

Choose foods that are:

  • Fresh and organic
  • Pronounceable ingredients
  • Whole foods

Step #2: Use Healthy Cooking Methods

The way a meal is cooked determines how many calories, how much added fat, and the number of nutrients that survive. This simple factor will make or break your weight loss goal.

Avoid foods prepared like this:

  • Fried and battered
  • Processed and packaged
  • Doused with cream sauce
  • Sautéed

Choose foods that are prepared like this:

  • Grilled
  • Baked
  • Broiled
  • Steamed

Step #3: Eat Mostly Protein

The bulk of your calories should be coming from a quality source of protein. With the first 2 guidelines in mind, these will be high quality, healthfully prepared.

Good choices of protein include:

  • Fish
  • Chicken
  • Turkey
  • Egg
  • Lean red meat
  • Beans

Step #4: Include Lots of Fiber

Fiber is a huge part of eating healthy and being lean. Fibrous foods will fill you up while delivering vitamins and nutrients in low-calorie packages. Fill at least two thirds of your plate with fibrous vegetables.

Try these forms of fiber:

  • Salad
  • Seasonal vegetables
  • Fruit
  • Legumes

Step #5: Reduce Starches

Here’s where many well-meaning dieters lose it. The facts are simple, in order to maintain the low-carb, high protein diet required for healthy weight loss, there is no room for starchy foods.

Starches to Avoid:

  • Potatoes
  • Pasta
  • Rice and cereal
  • Bread and crackers

For the most effective results, pair your clean eating with a challenging exercise routine. That’s where I come into the equation!tr

WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM? (I’ll tell you…)

, , , , , , ,

You want to be fit. You know how much you should weigh. You know your ideal size. You can even picture how great those skinny jeans will look.

So why aren’t you living life in your ideal body?

There are many complex reasons that make weight loss a challenge, reasons that go deeper than simply calories-in versus calories-out.

I’m talking about the life issues that get in the way of your success.

Read the following 5 obstacles and the solutions to unlock your best body ever.

1. You don’t want to be bothered.

It’s in your DNA to avoid pain and seek out pleasure. Unfortunately, this works against you when trying to get fit. In your mind, it’s painful (or at least uncomfortable) to deny yourself the tasty food that you crave and to exert yourself with exercise.

There’s a simple way to work around this obstacle: Find something painful about being out of shape to motivate yourself towards healthy eating and exercise. Focus on the negative impact your current weight has on your health, self-esteem and lifestyle. Convince yourself that the pain of being out of shape is much greater than the discomfort of losing weight.

2. You don’t want to wait for the good stuff.

Just as you wish to avoid pain, you are also an expert in seeking out pleasure—namely food. This served the cavemen well, but these days it ends up as extra pounds around your waist and thighs.

There’s good news: extra calories are not your only option to stimulate the pleasure center of your brain. Find an activity or two that make you smile and indulge in those regularly.

A walk outside
A good book
A night out to the movies or theater
A spa day

You can also retrain your brain to crave the pleasure of exercise-induced endorphins. Talk about weight gain kryptonite!

3. You are crazy busy.

Let’s face it, you work too much, commit yourself to too much and don’t even get enough sleep most of the time. The fast-paced way you live leaves you exhausted, stressed and hungry for comfort food. You even begin to feel too busy to take care of your health.

It’s time to reprioritize. Let go of your perfectionist standards and remove a few commitments from your schedule so that you are able to cook healthy meals, exercise and get a good night’s sleep. Remind yourself that taking care of your health is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

4. You don’t deserve it.

I don’t agree with it, but you sure act like you don’t deserve to live the good life in the body of your dreams. Take a moment to think back on all the times you have self-sabotaged your weight loss efforts. If you don’t believe deep down that you are worthy then you’ll never give yourself a chance at a fit body.

I believe that you deserve to have a healthy body—and I urge you to dig deep down to uncover why you don’t. Once you conquer your feelings of unworthiness, getting on an exercise and healthy eating plan will be easy.

Take the time to take care of yourself. You DO deserve it.

5. You are afraid.

You’re afraid to start because you just might fail, and wouldn’t that be embarrassing? You’re also afraid to start because you just might succeed, and change makes you uncomfortable – even if it’s change in the right direction.

When you decide to get fit you will need to go through a bushel of changes:

New diet
New exercise routine
New friends at the gym
New clothes
New self-image

Focus on all of the ways that losing weight will make your life better. Envision that better life every day so that it goes from being new and scary to familiar and comfortable.

Your Fastest Track to Fat Loss

, ,

If you have weight to lose, then this message is meant specifically for you.

Through my work with clients over the years, I’ve come to learn the fastest track to fat loss, and I’d like to share it with you today.

First, I’d like to ask you a few questions. At this stage in your life, have you noticed the following?

  • It’s easier to gain weight these days.
  • Your body is changing as you age, and not in a good way.
  • You have less muscle and more unattractive bodyfat.
  • It takes more and more effort to reduce your body fat.
  • The dieting tricks that once worked aren’t helping anymore.

If any on this list are true for you, you are in good company.

The fact is that once we reach middle age, fat loss becomes more and more difficult to accomplish.

My older clients know firsthand, that the older we get the harder it is to maintain a healthy body weight. Some have even told me that they feel like their own bodies are working against them.

I have awesome news for you, though, just as I did for them.

You can do something to achieve serious fat loss right now.

It’s possible to look better than ever, to experience more energy, and to be proud of the body that you see in the mirror. But…it requires that you ACT NOW!

Today is the easiest that your fat loss transformation will ever be. Every day that passes by without you taking action only makes it tougher and tougher to become a leaner, happier, sexier version of yourself.

If you want your fastest track to fat loss, then stop waiting.

If you want your fastest track to fat loss, then stop waiting & start now!

Don’t let another year or two pass you by before you decide to do something about your weight, once and for all. I’m here to help you do something NOW to reverse the clock by melting away fat, increasing your energy, and filling you with unstoppable confidence.
