No such thing as stubborn fat. How to rid of it.
Posted on May 28, 2020 Leave a Comment
There’s no such thing as stubborn body fat. Your fat doesn’t have a mind of it’s own. It’s not resistant to change. Your fat isn’t stubborn, you are. While that may sound harsh, our mindset about what is necessary for weight loss is what’s needed to actually lose weight. If you’re not willing to exercise […]
Cardio is unnecessary for weight loss

Back when I wanted to lose weight, I would pick up magazines, which seemed to only feature thin women who ran marathons. I didn’t want to run, and thought that the only way I could lose weight was to run long distances daily. I figured that since running is a cardiovascular activity, I may be […]
Excessive protein = a big belly
Posted on May 7, 2020 Leave a Comment
Too much of anything can be harmful. Drinking too much water can lead to death (called hyponatremia); pushing past your limits during exercise, even if you’re extremely fit, can lead to a fast death (called rhabdomyolysis); and too much protein converts to fat, or may even cause a distended-looking belly. If you look at the […]

Due to the stay-at-home order from our government, that meant I couldn’t train my clients at the gym, which temporally closed, or at their homes. I also couldn’t do my own 60-90-minute workouts at the gym. What this meant, is that I was moving a lot less, and burning fewer calories, so it didn’t surprise […]

I stopped drinking soda many years ago, but people still drink it, possibly because they are addicted to the combination of sugar and caffeine. Soda is linked to Type 2 diabetes, weight gain, fatty liver disease, cavities, worn tooth enamel, weakened bones, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease, and discolored teeth (1). If you’re thirsty, drink filtered […]
Keto diet = bone loss & early death
Posted on April 7, 2020 Leave a Comment
The ketogenic diet has been extremely popular because people can lose weight and still get to eat their favorite meats, and more fats, even animal fat. This high fat, medium protein diet, works, because it cuts carbs. Only 50 grams per day from any type of carbohydrate is permitted. To put that into perspective, that’s about […]

We all have good intentions when the goal is weight loss; we start out with a small breakfast, or skip it entirely, have a salad for lunch, soup for dinner, then after dinner, a few snacks: chips, a bowl of ice cream, cookies, deli meat, cheese and crackers and several handfuls of nuts. When you […]
