Your Guide to Eating Out Right

Leave a Comment

A woman sits at a restaurant studying the menu with furrowed brow. She has begun an exercise routine and knows that her frequent meals out could slow her weight loss results if she wasn’t careful.

When the waiter comes she is still deep in thought over what to order. “What can I get for you?” he asks with a smile. She looks up and frowns, no closer to arriving at a decision. On a whim she blurts out, “I’m trying to eat healthy but I have no idea what to order. What do you think I should eat?”

The young waiter looks startled but quickly rattles off his idea of a healthy meal. “The eggplant and roasted pepper pasta is filled with vegetables. You could get that with a salad.”

The woman smiles. Yes, vegetables do sound healthy. So she orders the veggie pasta with a side salad and a diet soda, then sits back to enjoy a few slices of bread.

Peeling back the dirty curtain of “Medical” Weight Loss Centres!

Leave a Comment

A former client just told me that he joined a certain “Medical” weight loss centre here in Calgary (I won’t mention the name, but they promote “doctor supervised weight loss” and have multiple locations). He was excited that he had lost 40 pounds in the last 60 days and was “feeling great”.

While I was happy that he was excited about these changes, my heart sank because I knew that challenging times would likely lay ahead for him. Because he had not followed the guidance we gave him during his coaching, I know that the return to “normal” would be a struggle.

Resistance Training Principle #13: Avoiding Big Bulky Muscles!

Leave a Comment

When most people think of the stereotypical body builder, they think of this really big guy with huge muscles who is just so tight and stiff that he actually has a problem moving. Have you ever watched a bodybuilder play a sport? It’s quite comical! Many people find it difficult to imagine a graceful and flexible body builder. Like the elusive Sasquatch, they are rare, but do exist!On a more serious note, the tightness image of weight lifting comes from this “bodybuilding” style of training that promotes small isolated exercises, a lack of athletic development or movement training, combined with a poor attention to joint mobility.

Have you ever seen a really impressive “before” and “after” photo on a weight loss product?

Well, there’s something that the diet industry doesn’t want you to know. There is more involved than just the diet product, and it’s the same across the board.

Look into the eyes of any person in their “before” picture and you’ll see that they are deeply disturbed. The body they have is no longer in sync with the body they are able to accept.

“Any change in your life circumstances can produce changes in eating and exercise, which leads to weight gain,” stated Edward Abramson, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology at California State University, author of Emotional Eating.

So why has your weight increased? And, more importantly, what can you do about it? [Read more...]
