The 1,000 Extra Hidden Calories A Day Ruining Your Results

June 5, 2017 By Sarai

Let me bring your attention to some things that could be robbing you of your results:

  • The candy jar on the receptionist desk at your work or places you frequent.
  • Your morning coffee. Are you using creamers, sugars or grabbing a flavored latte?
  • Do you mindlessly munch on nuts at your desk or while you commute?
  • Grabbing a few bites off your kids or spouses plate.
  • Night caps
  • Wine with dinner
  • Do you nibble while you cook?
  • Did you get a 2nd serving of those Brussel sprouts and bacon even though you were no longer hungry because they tasted so good?

Get the idea?

Those extra nibbles and munchies = Mindless eating.

And as you can see, I’m not just talking about food that people like to label “bad”.

Sometimes we mindlessly eat perfectly clean foods for reasons other than what we need to satisfy our bodies.

The 5 Supplements I take Daily

May 15, 2017 By Sarai

Supplements are a hot topic for sure. As a whole, most “fat burners” and things like that are just over-hyped (and priced) snake-oil pills.

However, I do take certain supplements every day because quite frankly, while not totally necessary, taking the right ones will help your body run most efficiently and enhance your results.

So today I wanted to answer a question I get asked all the time…


“What supplements do you personally take?“

How To Deal With Chocolate Cravings

May 9, 2017 By Sarai

This is a question I get a lot. The answer I give often gets a bit of a stunned stare for a few seconds because it’s not what one expects to hear from their trainer.

Before I tell you this somewhat unorthodox answer, let me give you a quick (and slightly embarrassing) back story…..

Back in the day when I was soooo strict about food I would literally eat around my craving for chocolate often consuming 400-500 calories to avoid it. Or I would eat two huge slices of chocolate cake on the weekend.

This literal slice. TWO of them!

Meal Prep Simplified

May 4, 2017 By 4Admin01

Sometime when talking with clients we just can’t seem to get past this one thing.

Freeform eating vs having a plan.

Freeform eating is when you just “try to make better choices”. You’re basically winging it. Assessing what your options are and making the best decision for you at the time.

That’s totally cool, and for the most part if you’re not trying to change your body composition (how much fat and/or muscle you have) it’s a great, no-obsessing way to eat; just eat healthy most of the time. Simple as that.

But when the specific goal of having less fat/weight or more muscle is your focus, freeform eating is not the most efficient path. You need a plan.

The biggest obstacle however seems to be WHAT to eat.

My advice: KISS (keep it simple superwoman). [Read more…] about Meal Prep Simplified

Could Portion Control Be YOUR Problem?

April 26, 2017 By Sarai

Have you been hitting your training sessions hard and consistent, eliminated most processed foods, avoid excess sugar 85% of the time and upped your water intake (and bathroom visits) for 30 days or more but you have not lost any weight or felt your clothes get looser?

If you say no to one of those, first go address and remedy that.

If you said yes to all of the above, then you my friend probably have a bit of an issue with food portions; knowing them and sticking to them.

You see in the end, even though rotating carbs, increasing protein intake, and upgrading the quality of your food are all useful, calories still matter. Meaning portion control, even of healthy foods, matters.

If you’re like me though, counting calories to lose weight is kinda crazy-making. And unless you eat 100% of your meals at home, it’s not always realistic or easy to count every calorie accurately which makes me crazier.

An easier way is to control your portions. You can do it with any meal, made by anyone and it works!

Here are some of my top portion control tips:

Fitness should enhance your life, not take over it. I teach women how to eat, move and think in ways that free them from the constant obsession over what to do next. When you know better, you do better. Let's do better together.
