The Good and The Bad News

This just in: Fat cells don't go away. That's the bad.

The good: You can reduce them in size.

I'm not entirely convinced that "all" the cells stay. The science is good but it is not a long term study that follows it for a long enough time to satisfy my scientific curiosity.

The best possible solution to this problem, and no, I am not being sarcastic, don't let them catch on in the first place. Keep them off by being active and eating well. (larger meals earlier in the day, enough to sustain your energy requirements, keep hydrated)

Barring that, my fitness program, that I have honed over the last 6 years with all of my weight loss clients, targets the fitness and nutrition planning that boosts metabolism. The best part: it takes only 30 minutes a day.

The key is intensity. If we continue to do long slow cardio the net result is a metabolic slow down, to the point where, say walking, loses all of it's metabolic boosting effect. As you raise the intensity, a little bit at first, and more and more as you progress, the net result is physiological changes that will amaze yourself and you friends. The best part is you will need less and less time to obtain greater results.

What do others think about this? Don't really care. It works and my responsibility to my clients is to get results.

This works.

There is so much more to this. If you want more details contact me or sign up for my newsletter that will provide weekly information updates. I'll be glad to help get you pointed in the right direction.

A Little Quiz

Don't worry. Nobody fails.

I just wanted to get some feedback on your interests. On the right hand side is a little click quiz that you can help direct some of my future posts.

I really appreciate your feedback!

I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

And as soon as that is done, step away from the computer for a few minutes and get outside. You've probably been in front of the computer too long. Like I have. See you later.

In health,

Todd

The first step

*This is for general healthy public. There are always "exceptions"*

This topic has been a regular subject amongst my clients recently. It's about food. Surprise.

I spend a great deal of my time explaining that the body doesn't respond well to food restriction. Sure, you'll lose weight. But it is not likely to stay off. One study, out of many, in the New England Journal of Medicine (1996) showed that a restricted diet had a 11% success rate of keeping weight off over a year.

That is not promising.

Then you start thinking about what does increase success. That study showed an 86% success rate when about 4 hours of activity a week was added. Not more food restriction.

Here is the short version: When we are active and the body is fueled supportively it doesn't appear to hold on to as much fat. I've seen it time and time again in my practice. Moms, dads, and athletes who struggle with weight who are under-fueling themselves. After a Body Composition Assessment is done and their Basal Metabolic Rate is calculated (and the shock wears off, "That much?") and a supportive food plan is put together the weight dips and lean tissues are maintained.

I really don't want to beat this too badly. Just take a look at what you are eating. Is it supportive or is it restrictive?

The kicker: with restriction comes mood swings, cognitive impairment, blood sugar control issues, difficulty avoiding late night snacking because impulse control drops. It is not a recipe for success.

Consider this. If you have special food considerations see an accredited dietitian or nutritionist, depending on where you live. Get your BMR assessed. Build a food plan for life.

Think strong,

Todd

Track It

Take a guess at what happens over and over again with the majority of my clients... It's ok, I'll wait.

They under-eat. Even after being coached on what a good supportive food plan looks like for their needs.

Why is it so difficult to get tem up to speed? Well, and I'm taking an educated guess at this, we as a society have been pounded over the head with messages about dieting and restrictive eating being the only way to lose weight.

I guess not too many people read the fine print.

Again, sure you lose weight, can't argue that. But is not healthy and difficult to keep off. This is an oversimplification. Generally, food intake must be supportive and activity must be a part of every day. Then a healthy weight for you is obtained. After that we can discuss aesthetics.

First things first though, get nutrition up to speed. Determine your caloric NEED not want (whoa, that's a whol other conversation). Then divvy it up. For athletes, 60% carb, 20%protein, 20% (healthy) fats is a great place to start.

So set off to look at what a healthy balance should be for you and then plan your week out so you don't fall off the wagon as soon as you get on!

Got it! No go get 'em!

I'm on fire!

Fire? No not really.

I've been a big nap advocate and lo and behold. A study. It's science. How can it possibly be wrong? Right?

Well, before we get into that discussion give this a read.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7254555.stm

I hope I have given all of you license to nap. Pick your spots carefully.

Also I'd like to state that I will have a little series on "the Death of Diets" coming out soon.

One can only hope.


Who's looking out for you?

In health,

Todd
