Improve Your Chances Of Success With This Simple Tip

By

It’s a fact, people perform better when they are with others or others are counting on them to come through on what they say they will do.

Essentially, it’s peer pressure of the most positive kind.

The goal is harness it to help you get over that hump when beginning to make changes for the better. You know, that internal resistance we all come up against when trying to change long ingrained habits.

In addition to that, having others in your corner in the role of cheerleader, coach or accountability partner is one of the KEY elements to your success at weight loss.

So here’s what you do: [Read more…] about Improve Your Chances Of Success With This Simple Tip

Ditch the Plateau

By

A plateau is when you feel like you’re doing everything right but you’re not seeing the changes you expect to see in your body or the way your clothes fit.

Basically, you’re not progressing.

Sometimes it really is a matter of your body holding on to those last few pounds.

However, in my experience working with hundreds of women, I find that most likely there are some things that need to be buckled down on and cleaned up to get back on track and get over this “plateau”.

These are the top 3 areas that most of us need to reevaluate:

Is That Salad Making You Fat?

By

Think fast; when I say diet food what’s the first thing that comes to your mind?

…..maybe bland, tasteless, cardboard…..but aside from that…..salad right? We women love salads when it comes time to think about weight loss.

More often than not though, I find my clients are making one of two mistakes which are both equally detrimental in moving you closer to your weight loss goals:

  1. They are eating salads so loaded with stuff like cheese, bacon, croutons, creamy dressings, nuts and loads of fruit, that they have as many calories as a cheeseburger. None of those ingredients are off limits, but there needs to be a balance.
  2. They are eating salads that are too skimpy. Eating a huge bowl of veggies is great, you should definitely do that. But if ALL you eat is a huge bowl of veggies for lunch, chances are you are going to be quite hungry in an hour or so and if you don’t have another healthy meal around, you could be tempted to check out what is in the breakroom or on the receptionist desk.

Salads can add great variety to your diet you just gotta do it right.

Today I have 3 delicious salad recipes that are balanced in protein, carbs and healthy fat.

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

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.
