How Food Affects Your Mood

Connect Diet With Disease

Real vs. Fake Weight loss:

Focus on fat loss instead of weight loss. True weight loss is measured in terms of body composition. The exception is with people who are over 35% body fat and considered morbidly obese, which is being 100 pounds over what is considered ideal bodyweight for your height and frame. Those who are between 10 and 30 pounds heavy should focus on losing fat to achieve permanent weight loss.

Have your body composition measured and re-checked every 6 to 8 weeks. This is to determine if you are keeping a favorable fat to muscle ratio. Your eyes will probably tell you even before the body fat caliper will. If you are losing weight and your body shape is changing you are more than likely losing body fat. If you have lost a significant amount of weight i.e. 5 to 10% of your body weight and your shape has changed very little I would definitely look at your weight loss program a bit closer.

There Are No Sheep In Elite Athletics

 

Everyone is unique and must take the time to discover what works for them, not only for sports performance but for long term health and vitality. What might work for the champion of the day is not necessarily best for someone else. Success does leave clues but there’s nothing that replaces experience. Put any idea to the test; be honest about why and how its working and you’ll set yourself up to be a bona fide bad ass in your sport and activity.

How To Succeed on the HCG diet

For a long time I battled with the reality that people will always look for the quick and easy fix.  I now understand  that the best way that I can help people who are looking for a quick fix is to help them make the best and most informed choice possible. With that said here are my quick tips for doing the HCG diet successfully.

1. Eat the highest quality food possible. Because your calories are very restricted, you want to get as much bang for your nutritional buck as possible.

2. Exercise! Yes I know the standard protocol is to advise HCG clients not to exercise, but those recommendations are under the assumption that the client will exercise using conventional techniques (i.e. cardio, intense weight lifting, boot camp classes, etc). However the right type of exercise will enhance the effect of the HCG. For more info on the right type of exercise to do while on the HCG diet, send us a message.

3. Create your new and healthy way of living BEFORE you are done with your HCG program. You want to have your success systems already in place before you stop the protocol. Otherwise you will not have the skills and habits to maintain your weight loss.

4. Get your blood tested. Get your entire metabolic and hormone system evaluated and have someone interpret the results who is skilled with a holistic and preventative mindset. This information combined with what your body is telling you will help you take the steps to maintain your results. #hcgdiet  #permanentweightloss

Kill The Number One Reason For Storing Fat

When there are excessive toxins in the bloodstream, the body will accumulate body fat to protect the internal organs from being poisoned. These are not signs and symptoms that are conducive for weight loss. Just know that if your liver is too busy fighting off extra toxins, it will be very hard to perform other jobs like make the proper hormones for weight loss.

 

 

How To Control Your Appetite With Concentrated Nutrition

Food quality is the single most important variable in achieving permanent weight loss. You are what you eat. If you are going to make your body out of coffee, muffins and salads made of iceberg lettuce, your body will be in a constant state of “hungry”. There is a little mechanism in your brain that controls your appetite called the appestat. The purpose of the appestat is to determine if all of your nutritional requirements are being met. Unfortunately the prevalence of processed foods deprived of nutrition has sent most of our appestats into complete chaos. This is why obesity has become an epidemic in America today. Ironically, those who suffer from obesity are probably the most under nourished. This is because their appestat tells them to keep eating because the food in their diet lacks nutritional value. Therefore too many calories are consumed in an effort to get the proper daily nutrients.

The best way to control your appetite is to EAT ORGANIC WHOLE FOOD. Organic food has the highest concentration of nutrients per calorie. Make sure that you are eating a variety of organic produce i.e. fruits and vegetables.
