The Best Secret To Losing Weight...

The Best Secret To Losing Weight?

Consistency.  Find a workout schedule and meal plan that works for your lifestyle so that you can be consistent with it.  You can pay top dollar for a personal trainer and nutrition plan, but no matter how great the workout regime and meal plan is, it won’t work unless you are consistent in following it.  If you don’t make the effort to change, neither will your body.  For example, if you don’t feed your body every three hours or so, your body will then store anything you eat as body fat, no matter how healthy it is, in case you do not feed it again for a long time.  Your body needs fuel to work.  If you don’t give it the fuel it needs, it’ll put whatever you do give it into storage for later usage, which means less energy for you.  Show your body that you care and that you will feed it consistently and see the changes start to occur.  Your body will trust that it will get what it needs to survive and will burn the rest, giving you more energy which in turn will allow you to work harder and burn even more calories.  It’s a win/win situation once you STAY CONSISTENT.  The same idea applies to working out.  You cannot workout here and there, sometimes once a week, sometimes four times a week….you must be consistent to allow your body to make the necessary changes so that you look and feel better.  Just like a parent must be consistent in teaching their children good behavior, you need to be consistent in teaching your body what you want from it.  Eat healthy, move your body, get great results.  And as always, if you need guidance on these subjects, I’m here for you! Consultations are always free.

Child Obesity

If your child is overweight, what can you do? Diets are not recommended for growing kids and teens. Instead of weight loss, emphasize positive eating and physical activity changes. Try these suggestions:
• Eat dinner together as a family so you can monitor what your kids are eating daily.
• Sit down at the table, where you can teach kids how to eat more slowly, pay attention to their hunger and ...avoid the mindless eating that may occur when watching television.
• Involve kids in planning menus, shopping for food and preparing meals.
 • Make high-fiber fruits and vegetables a part of every meal.
 • Focus on offering lower-calorie, nutrient-rich meals and snacks without severely restricting food intake.
• Buy healthier foods and keep them easily accessible in the fridge and cupboards and on the counter. Keep sweets, chips and soda out of sight or out of the house.
• Limit sweetened beverages, including soda and fruit drinks, to an occasional treat.
• Reduce television watching and computer/video time to less than 2 hours a day, total, and less than 1-1.5 hours during school days.
• Promote physical activity as a family by taking walks, playing outdoor games and riding bikes together.


 Remember, your children learn from your behaviors and habits so set a good example to make life easier and healthier for them in the long run.

Prevention Is Key!

Prevention is the next BIG thing in healthcare, and fitness and wellness professionals are becoming an integral member of the healthcare team.

Over 75% of health costs in the US goes to the treatment of chronic diseases, most of which are preventable. Data from the HealthPartners Research Foundation showed that adults aged 50 and over who started exercising just 90 minutes a week saved, on average, $2,200 per year in medical costs.

For about the cost of your cable bill, you can make yourself healthier, feel better, and look better...and save big bucks in the future. All it takes is 5 minutes of your time to call, text, or email. Make the change for a better future.
