Will Protein make you skinny?










The true benefits of protein are vague. It's hard for the experts
to say much about protein because there have not been adequate
studies on protein to truly say one way or the other how to
effectively account for protein in your diet. Studies at Harvard
have not pinpointed absolute fact when it comes to protein.

Although the cloudiness of the benefits of protein, it is
recommended that you take in nine grams of protein for every
20 pounds of body weight.

Couple things you need to look out for however...
Lack of protein can cause growth failure, loss of muscle mass,
decreased immunity, weakening of the heart and respiratory
system.

Too much protein can lead to bone loss over longer periods
of time. Because digesting protein takes lots of calcium,
your body may take calcium from bones and leave them
starved.

So get lots of calcium with that new diet!


Make it a great day!

Diet, forget that! Go on a Live-it!













Diet? Forget That, let's go on a Live-it

Personally I hate the word diet. Going on a diet usually means
starving yourself, long hours at the gym, and in general doing
what you absolutely do not want to do in order to have something
you want, a hot body!

Many people every year do this very thing. Start a diet, cut their
food intake in half, eat obscure foods like eggplant and tofu, then
after months of working out and eating "right" hit a "plateau" that they
cant seem to get past.

Well the problem with this thinking is that if you go on a "diet" someday
your going to come off that "diet"

The true definition of "Diet" isn't a 6 month starvefest, it is what you
eat on a regular basis. What you eat everyday is your diet.

Now if your everyday diet consists of fried chicken and burgers at the
fast food place with a side of soda and beer, then you need to change
your diet, not go on a diet.

When I say change your diet, what I mean is, change what you eat on a
regular basis.

YES YOU CAN eat burgers and fried chicken, but not every meal.

YES YOU CAN drink sodas and beer, but not a case of soda or a
12 pack of beer every day.

Everything in moderation.

If you want to go out and have a few beers with the guys or ladies,
by all means please do. But let's not do it every night.

Change just a few things in your everyday life and you will see huge
changes in your body, energy levels, and over all mindset.


Make it a great day!

Don't Complicate Things!

The main reason that you're not happy with your weight is because of what you eat.

It's hardly your fault.

Have you ever stopped to notice how many times you're bombarded by food marketing each day?

Ads come at you from magazine pages, T.V. commercials, on websites and billboards, each boasting of cheap, convenient and tasty ways to cure your hunger.

The question "What's for dinner?" has never been more complex than now.

Extensive menu options and large entrees have distorted your concept of a proper meal, and before you know it you've fallen into the trap of the chain restaurant, the drive thru, and the take-out line.

But wait – truly healthy eating is simple.

First you need to block out the blizzard of food marketing around you.

Remember that advertisers want your money, and they don't stop to consider if the food they promote will expand your waist – that's your job.

It's safe to say that, with few exceptions, any food that you see marketed should be avoided. When was the last time you saw an ad for grilled white fish, steamed broccoli and a side of brown rice?

So what does truly healthy eating look like?

A healthy meal contains lean protein, fresh vegetables and a modest serving of whole grains.

Just as importantly, a healthy meal does NOT contain:

  • Refined sugar / corn syrup
  • Fried / fatty food
  • Full fat dairy food
  • Processed food with chemical additives

Healthy Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What you decide to eat when you first wake up will set the tone for the rest of your meals that day. Try these healthy options:

  • Scrambled egg whites, sliced tomato and whole grain toast
  • Whole grain oatmeal, sliced fruit and a protein shake
  • Homemade breakfast sandwich: Multi-grain English muffin with lean turkey slices and egg

Healthy Lunch

It is important to plan your lunch ahead of time in order to avoid turning to a fast food joint or vending machine. Pack your lunch the night before and carry it with you. Try these healthy options:

  • Dark baby greens topped with chopped chicken breast and diced tomatoes
  • Albacore tuna (packed in water), mixed with finely chopped cucumber over brown rice
  • Homemade sandwich: Sprouted grain bread with lean turkey slices, lettuce, tomato and mustard

Healthy Dinner

Dinner is the meal where most people splurge and eat far more calories than they should. Eating at home is the first step in reducing your dinnertime calories. Try these healthy options:

  • Grilled white fish, sautéed spinach and whole wheat couscous
  • Baked chicken breast, steamed broccoli and brown rice
  • Try the recipe for Chicken Quinoa Stir Fry below

While healthy eating is a huge factor in achieving your ideal weight, exercise is the other half of the equation.

Your exercise routine should be challenging and should be done on a regular basis.

I know that you have more than enough in your life to think about without having to plan your own exercise routine. Leave that job to me—call or email today to get started on a personalized fitness program that will leave your body no choice but to shed those unwanted pounds.


Make it a great day!
