5 Diet Foods You Should Avoid!

These are foods people usually start eating when they go on a diet and they think they are doing themselves some good. They also feel like they are making a sacrifice when they might be doing more harm than their regular diet.

Almonds

At 830 Calories per cup, Almonds are one of the most high calorie foods you can eat. A handful can stop weight loss in it's tracks! There are healthy vitamins and minerals in Almonds but not enough to counter the calorie cost. If you eat almonds, be VERY careful and keep track of how many you eat.

Yogurt

It's usually loaded with sugar. Why do you think you like it so much? If you HAVE to do yogurt, I recommend plain greek yogurt (do not get low fat! see below). You can add fresh fruit to it and control the sugar levels. I need to mention that some people have a sensitivity to dairy and that means yogurt can cause weight gain and inflammation! Use sparingly, until you know where you fall.

How I stayed in the fat burning zone for 23 hours and 26 minutes!!!

If you are fast at math you might have asked, so you were out of the fat burning zone for 34 minutes?

Yes.

This is one of those “things” that get’s people confused all the time. We see this fat burning zone everywhere. On magazine covers, in conversations, and even on exercise equipment.

Now I don’t know about you but if I see the words fat burning zone that sounds pretty attractive to me. Who wouldn’t want to be there? Burn fat in the fat burning zone! It sounds almost like paradise. So how did I spend all those hours in the fat burning zone?

I went for a 34 minute run. (well 33:54 to be exact (I rounded))

I got one of those heart rate monitor watches for fun and this is what it told me:

I was in “fitness” for 33:40 and “fat burn” for only 14 seconds?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

33 minutes and 40 seconds wasted that I could have been in FAT BURNING ZONE!!!!

I spent all that time in...

#1 Way to Eliminate a Craving

Everyone has them from time to time. Why is it that some people do better with them than others? If there was a way to effectively deal with them every time wouldn’t that be great?

Well here is! The best way to deal with a craving is to eat what it is you are craving.

WHAT??

Eat the naughty food that I’m craving? Yep! It sounds like a recipe for weight gain and it could be of course let me explain to you how you can do this and begin to lose weight.

What people normally do when they have a craving.

The first step is to fight it. Usually this involves eating something healthy or trying not to eat at all. Usually this still leaves hunger, so you might eat another something to try to “fix” it. Then that doesn’t take so you wait awhile drink some water wait awhile more and then still hungry you eat again. If you get frustrated enough by evening you’ve given up and are just going to eat it now. You are worn out at this point and realiz...

29 Things I’ve Learned in my 10 Years as a Personal Trainer

This month marks 10 years that I have been training people. I have learned, unlearned, and relearned many things it that time. Research has added a lot to our understanding of how the body works and changed many things. Plus I’ve grown personally. I went from working at a club as a trainer and group exercise instructor, to managing the personal training department, to moving back home and starting my own training business.

Me in my role as new Dad!

Now as a husband and father I’ve grown even more.

It is said that to become an expert at something you need to put in 10,000 hours.

In these 10 years I have gotten my 10,000 hours of training people. It’s been fun and I’ve come to refine my training philosophy and understanding.

It just turns out I used to be a boob. I still have more growth and I am excited to take on another 10 years with you!

Things I’ve Learned

1.) It’s not about the number – I used t

Hello Friend,

Happy New Year. Hopefully you are already finding yourself successful. If not maybe we can help with a couple of these articles.

How to burn an additional 600 calories by eating?...

or read below.

Sounds too good to be true?

Thankfully it isn’t!

So we all know staying alive takes energy and that energy is measured in Calories. We use energy for new cells, body temperature regulation, Movement, Breathing and heart rate, Digestion, Etc. What we are going to talk about is using more energy in digestion.

600 calories per day is the equivalent of running 6 miles EVERYDAY! For many recreational runners that’s at least an hour of exercise.

We can get that same effect without the time investment. In fact digestion burns calories all day in the background without us having to think about it. It turns out I’ve been burning calories like this for years but I didn’t even k...
