Clean Up Eating Habits For Amazing Fat Loss With Mr Lean

SPRING CLEANING WITH MR LEAN

It has been so cold in the Northeastern part of American, when Coach woke up this morning I thought maybe if I start doing some spring cleaning it will usher in more spring like temperatures… As I was reaching for some of my cleaning tools I picked up a bottle of Mr Clean and started to pour the solution into the bucket… As I poured looking at Mr Clean’s picture on the bottle I flashed back to another winter day several years ago…

I was walking down the street with my two dogs Cyrus and Shiloh... It was really cold and my bald head must have been glowing... Then a car drives by full of teenagers and they yell out the window Mr. Clean... At first it bothered me, at least they could have shouted Mr. Lean... Then I thought for a moment and said to myself "I have Cleaned Up" a lot of my clients bad eating habits... Mr Clean and Coach have something in common and we have been at work for a long time; we are both good at cleaning up messes…

Today let’s forget about how cold it is and together lets clean up some bad eating habits… Summer bodies are created in the steps we take in winter… Here are Coach’s proven guidelines for cleaning up our approach for this year’s healthy lifestyle and lean body…

1. Dust Off… Last year’s goals and pack them out of sight and create this year’s goals and keep them shinny and clean and in clear sight each day…

2. Power Wash… Any negative thoughts of the path of your daily routines and blast your mind clean with positive thoughts of believing you can and expecting you will…

3. Take Out Trash… It is time to trash all negative voices from influencing your thoughts and open the windows of your mind to the breath of fresh air of knowing what to do and doing what you know…

4. Extra Elbow Power… Realize there will be challenges ahead which take an extra level of self-discipline and self-control to remain faithful to your healthy new habits… If your circumstances don’t challenge you; how could you expect them to strengthen the changes in you?

Mr Clean and Coach’s Mr Lean principles are more powerful than any dirt which tries to get in the way of reaching your goal… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

Cycle Your Way To Amazing Fat Loss

CYCLE YOUR WAY TO AMAZING Fat Loss

This is not a story about a secret method Tour de France champions use to create an amazing physique; though the cycle used here will create a champion body in you...

This is not even a story about a bicycle, but it will have you spinning your wheels to a body maybe you thought wasn't possible...

The history of the bicycle teaches us a lesson changing what we thought works opens the door to revolutionary change....

If you go back more than a century it was thought to make the bike go faster the solution was to keep increasing the size of the front wheel.... The front wheel kept getting bigger and bigger; until someone discovered we can power the bike by the rear wheel which revolutionized the bike design and its speed and handling. ..

The same has been true with the weight loss industry it has been long thought the secret was to continually feed the body less calories than it used ... The end result was weight loss, but with loss of muscle, reduction in metabolism and an unfriendly partner with exercise... No matter the name of the diet or make up of proteins, carbohydrates or fat the logic of diets is less than you use...

It all that changed when the Coach invented the GLYCO-CYCLE; a breakthrough in managing hormone and metabolic responses "cycling" fat burning days with recovery days... The best news is the GLYCO-CYCLE could be personalized to fit anyone, no matter the age or condition of health or fitness...

No better success story than taking a "cycling instructor" of spinning several hours on a two wheel bike and placing him on a 3 day GLYCO-CYCLE now spending over 100 hours per week in a fat burning, muscle friendly mode... His name is Chris and he has been a spinning instructor for many years... Like many the Coach meets, Chris was frustrated with the amount of time he spent on the bike, but had a body fat percentage much higher than his recommended ideal....

The Coach is happy to report in only 12 short weeks Chris lost 25.1 lb. of fat and increased his muscle 6.7 lb., and his body fat dropped from 28% to an impressive 16.5% at a body weight of 171 lb.; which is 2.5% body fat under the recommended ideal for a man 54 yr. old… Chris still spends several hours each week on a spinning bike going nowhere, but his body composition has made the journey to amazing… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach

Positive Attitude Key To Healthy Fat Loss

YOUR ATTITUDE IS LIKE THE JET STREAM

Anyone in America who has traveled by air knows going from the east coast to west coast the travel time is longer than west coast traveling east, because of the jet stream… When you are going with the flow of the stream it takes less effort with quicker results and when you go against it more effort and slower results…

The same is true with a positive or negative attitude… When our attitude remains positive about our mission the power of the flow like a magnet draws us to our goal faster and what seems like less resistance and negative thoughts delay our journey and opportunities turn into opposition…

A perfect example is the story of the invention of the light bulb… Edison the inventor is said to have failed on eight hundred experiments before the one he succeeded in the discovery of his magnificent invention… When ask did he get discouraged he answered saying, “I learned eight hundred ways which did not work which pointed me to the one which did”… His positive attitude made every experiment an opportunity drawing him closer to his goal; instead of a negative attitude which saw failure creating roadblocks… The simple truth of the power of a positive attitude works at any age…

I love the story one of my mentors tells of a young boy using the power of a positive attitude… The boy has a bat and a ball and says to himself “I am the world’s greatest batter”… He tosses the ball swings and misses strike one… Once again he says, “I am the world’s greatest batter” tosses the ball swings and misses strike two… On the third attempt he says to himself, “I am the world’s greatest batter” tosses the ball swings and misses strike three… The boy lays down the bat and a big smile came to his face and he says, “I am the world’s greatest pitcher”…

No matter how many times it might look like you have struck out stay positive and believe you are one swing closer to your goal… God bless… Coach www.thefatlosscoach.com

WELCOME IN A LEAN HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

If you come to visit the Fat Loss Coach on a Saturday the Coach’s front desk manager Danielle will greet you… No one could be a better person to welcome you than Danielle because she is an excellent role model of what the Fat Loss Coach lifestyle is all about…

Danielle is more than knowledgeable about the Coach’s concepts she has become the concept… Danielle started her Fat Loss Coach program over a year ago at a weight of 124 lb. and 28%… Well when the Coach came in today I asked Danielle, “when was the last time we checked your body fat you look amazing”… It’s a year later and I am happy to report Danielle is 17% body fat and has increased her lean weight by 10 lb. of lean muscle… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

Fat Loss GRADUATION DAY

Well over 23 years thousands and thousands have gone through Coach’s program and the transformations are mind blowing… Though they eventually all say goodbye to Coach all of them have blessed me in a way they will never know… Today I received this message from one getting ready to leave and it brought a tear to Coach’s eye…

“Although I am sad today will be my last weigh in, I am happy with my results. I have now learned the importance of fueling my body with the right foods in the right amounts at the right time. Thanks for all the knowledge Coach!!! I’m ready to continue my life journey on my own”…

Her name is Krystina and before she left we watched on my new big screen Casting Crowns “Voice of Truth”… As we wiped our eyes I prayed no matter what voices call out to her, The Lord’s voice inside her will keep her on the path of the truth she has learned and she will be blessed with long life and good health…

Krystina has lost 30 lb. of fat and her body fat percentage dropped from 42% to 28%... What is so amazing about her transformation is at 20 years old she had never been at her ideal weight… Well Coach is happy to report those days are gone and she can now enjoy her new healthy lifestyle… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

More Than Weight Loss Your Next Meal Can Heal You

Bible scriptures from thirty-five hundred years ago show man divinely inspired to write, "God would bless his food and water and take sickness from among them"... As a nutritionist, I have witnessed thousands of patients be restored to health from disorders ranging from gastric disturbances, intestinal conditions, type II diabetes, hypertension, obesity and more through proper nutrition… By developing a healthy nutritional lifestyle, we can bring balance and harmony back to our human existence and it can begin with the next meal you eat…

I met Carolyn a former college basketball star, who now in her forties was suffering from a severe case of Crohn’s disease… Her condition was so advanced she found herself eating only once per day and a flare up could happen at any time… When we met she said, “Coach I don’t know if you can help me”? Nothing I have tried seems to work… I remember saying, “Carolyn we are not going to treat your Crohn’s we are going to heal it”…

Well 12 weeks have gone by and Coach is blessed to report Carolyn is healed… She now eats four meals every day and flare up’s are a thing of the past… Oh, she also lost 27 lb. of body fat and her body fat percentage dropped from 40% to 27 %... Her energy has been restored and she no longer has to check for the closest bathroom… At her meeting today she said, “My doctor wanted your name and said maybe you can help other Crohn’s patients”… I just smiled because I know with God, everything is possible… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

TIME WILL NO LONGER JUDGE YOU

There is no bigger thrill the Coach receives then helping my clients reverse the hands of time and helping them into bodies they had many years ago, and sometimes never had at all… I receive strange looks of unbelief during first interviews when I explain glycation’s effect on aging and how I will teach them to become biologically younger… Eating right foods in right amounts at right times manage blood sugar and hormone and metabolic responses and slow down glycation in our bodies… We start to biologically age slower and in many cases reverse aging…

One special morning in prayer the Lord spoke these words to me… The Lord said, in this world you can not out run time… But you are not from this world; for in My Kingdom, time holds no judgment against you… God was saying to me your spirit does not grow old and He has blessed me with the knowledge to teach others this principle… We our spirit’s, which have human experiences and not the other way around… I have also been blessed with the wisdom to slow aging and its effect on metabolic disorders, which come with aging…

I am so happy to report the proof of this in the life of Leslie… When I met Leslie at 192 lb. and at 49% body fat and explained she was destined to be 135 lb. at 29 % body fat; she thought it was impossible at her age of 65 yrs. old… The fire inside the Coach ignites when I hear those words impossible; because I have been a witness with God all things are possible if we combine wisdom with faith in Him… I am so happy to report Leslie is now 133 lb. at 28% body fat… Yes, she has even surpassed her goal, and she’s not stopping there… She is now the size she was 30 years ago…

Its time to forget all the magic of quick fix solutions and grab hold of the MAJESTIC and combine knowledge with faith… May God stretch forth His Majestic right hand and may time no longer judge you… God bless… Coach www.thefatlosscoach.com

LOVE WILL GUIDE YOUR WAY

It is common for someone who is struggling making a lifestyle change to make this statement, “I know what to do, just can’t seem to do it all the time”… I never hear this from someone who loves his or her new healthy lifestyle… Why is it so important to love what you do? The answer will free you from the bondage of poor behavior…

Love will protect what you do, trust what you do, endure what you do, pursue what you do, but most of all keep you from failing at what you do… Love is so powerful it never fails us, we fail when we attach love to the wrong behavior… The sobering truth of life is there is a right and wrong way to living in our hormone and metabolic design… You either learn to live and enjoy the benefits of right, or suffer the consequences of wrong…

This morning I received this message from a client who loves her new healthy lifestyle… The message reads Coach: Excited for a holiday party I got to wear a dress I would never have chosen before now… The message is from Michelle who has lost 44 lb. of fat and dropped her body fat from 46% all the way down to 28%... Michelle loves her new healthy lifestyle and her new dress on her new body shows it… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

LOVE ALWAYS WINS

This time of year this is one of the challenges Coach faces; Shiloh and Cyrus do not want to come into the house… Coach is on one side pleading with them to come in, and they are on the other side wondering why I don’t come out… Well in the end LOVE always wins out…

It is common for someone who is struggling making the lifestyle change to make this statement, “I know what to do, I just can’t seem to do it all the time”… I never hear this from someone who loves his or her new healthy lifestyle… Why is it so important to love what you do? The answer will free you from the bondage of poor behavior…

BEST EXERCISE TO BECOME LEAN IS TO STAY HUMBLE

Over the years I believe one of the major roles of The Fat Loss Coach has been to teach my clients the role exercise plays in reaching their ideal body composition… When I create a program I customize the nutrition meal plan based on body fat percentage, activity level, exercise schedule, food preferences and any medical condition, which might exist… Most of the time new clients have too much emphasis placed on exercise and not enough on hormone responses to foods habits… They are quickly taught hours of exercise cannot compare with over 100 hours of hormone responses to blood sugar based on quality, amount and timing of foods consumed… In the simplest of terms, “you cannot outrun a bad diet”…

Once the program has been created my primary role then becomes coaching this new knowledge into a spirit, mind and body lifestyle… The meal plan goes from something my client is physically doing into someone they are becoming… Many of my coaching sessions are spiritually influenced, sometimes the message is so simple, but always profound…

One night a few years ago in prayer the Lord said to me, “Those with a humble spirit will receive the maximum of my Grace”… Most times there will be some type of confirmation in what I just heard… The next morning one of my friends who posts regularly about dog rescue posts his story of the day… Being a dog lover I read most of the stories, and this days was quite special… It was the story of an abandoned dog in Texas, he is from a town named Humble and the dog’s name is Max… Could the confirmation be any more special the dog is a Sheppard…

A humble spirit is a daily exercise of this is where I am and this is where I can improve… As we recognize our weaknesses before God; His grace and strength is made perfect in our weakness… God bless… Coach www.thefatlosscoach.com

YOUR WILL DETERMINES WHETHER LIFESTYLE OR DIET

During one of my counseling sessions recently a tremendous revelation occurred when I asked a client this question… What is the difference between a cowboy and a shepherd? I received a blank stare, because they both seem to perform the same job… They both bring a herd from one location to another… So where is the epiphany here, they both seem to do the same task? It is how they go about their task, the shepherd leads their flock and the cowboy drives their herd…

The shepherd is in front and the sheep’s will is to follow… The cowboy is behind the cattle driving them against their will… This is where the light turned on inside my client… Was her will to succeed losing fat leading her, or her desire to still resist preventing what she desired to accomplish from manifesting?

The same is true in our life journey with God… Do we have a relationship of love and empowered by God’s grace guiding our steps of obedience; or a religious spirit driven by laws which a hardened heart finds hard to obey… Love keeps us faithful to obey what we believe and obedience driven by law places a weight of responsibility, which will eventually led to disobedience…

When I meet a potential new client it is customary for me to say I can teach all the techniques to develop a healthy new lifestyle… When these skills are customized to the client based on body composition, activity level, exercise schedule, food preferences and medical conditions, it will produce dramatic results… They will experience stable fat loss, without the negative physical responses of dieting…

The client’s role will be to learn the new eating behavior and develop a will to be led by their new understanding… The challenge is to keep old behavior from returning… There are two simple words which reflect is our heart willing or resisting and they are want to and have to… So simple in fact, many times when we say these two different words, it seems like they have the same meaning… However want to reflect the heart’s desire to be lead and have to its reluctance and be driven…

You can be at your ideal weight… I have seen it happen thousands of times… The journey will consist of the footsteps of right foods, right amounts at least four times per day… When led by your will to follow what you believe, your will always finds a way… When pushed by rules of have to eventually you will find an excuse…

The question is the journey determined by the shepherd guiding you to your destiny of healthy lifestyle or cowboy driving you into a diet mentality resulting in failure? The shepherd would say, keep your heart pure, mind clear and body willing… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

FAT LOSS DONE RIGHT !!!

Does right feel wrong during weight loss? I know what you might be thinking. Did the Coach leave the car running in the garage too long today? Did he just say does right feel wrong during weight loss?

Well I did say it, and here’s why. So many times when I teach a new client the proper weight loss techniques of eating right foods, right portions, at least four meals per day, a common response during the first week is, feels like its not working. When in fact most lose at least two to three pounds of fat in first few days.

When I find out how they’re feeling they tell me, I feel full, feels like too much food, eating when not feeling hungry. All the feelings they never had when losing weight in the past. So even though they have been taught properly, right feels wrong to them.

Image for a moment I am a tennis coach, and I happen to come on the scene at the tennis courts and watch you hit an ugly backhand. As I instruct you how to hold the racquet in a slightly different position, the right grip feels wrong in your hand. Why? Because you have become comfortable with holding it wrong.

The same is true if you need to lose weight, your wrong eating habits feel right to you. Sounds strange, wrong feels right and you have become comfortable with wrong. If you’re serious about weight loss, its time to change eating habits. Not just the foods you eat, but also acquire what it feels like to do it right.

Now I not going to change the way you are holding your fork, just adjust what your fork is attached to. I will even take all the guesswork out of what to eat. Like any good coach, I am going to encourage you to practice, practice and more practice, because practice makes? PERMANENT. Got you, its perfect practice, which allows you to receive the perfect result, the body you always hoped for. So what will we practice? Going by what we believe and not how we initially feel.

So how does the proper eating belief form? By speaking it daily into existence, and it sounds like this. Each of my four meals makes me lean by controlling my blood sugar. Each portioned meal feeds my muscle and causes me to lose fat. Each quality food I eat, repairs my cells, provides stable energy and keeps me in hormonal health.

Does it sound like what you were saying the last time you went on a diet? Probably not and that is a big part of why it didn’t work, you went back to old habits or using my analogy, holding the racquet wrong.

Now I’m not your tennis coach, but my reputation as The Fat Loss Coach speaks for itself. I have helped thousands reach their ideal weight. You’ll look and feel your great, and best of all finally right will feel right, and because you lost the weight right, it will stay off. God Bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

YOUR BODY IS YOUR HOUSE

The most valuable property you will ever own is the one looking at you in the mirror every day… Several years ago Coach had a successful infomercial and my investor partner’s family was very wealthy… In fact they owned a townhouse on Park Ave in New York… Coach used to stay at the townhouse during New York marketing meetings… One hot summer day as my partner and I walked across Park Ave in tank tops; horns started tooting and I turned to the millionaire and said; they think I’m the millionaire…

Well most of us won’t ever own a castle or a townhouse on Park Ave, but we can look like we do… God gave each one body, which lasts your whole life… When older clients who have had joint replacements visit me I ask this question… Does your artificial joint work as well as the one God originally gave you? I think scientific advancements are wonderful, but no one creates like God… Your body is the house you live in; where else will you live? Treat your body with love and respect… God bless… Coach www.thefatlosscoach.com

Do You Want To Be Made Well ?

One of Coach’s favorite stories in the bible is the healing pool of Bethesda… The story tells of a pool which an angel would come and stir the water and the first person to get into the pool would be healed… A lame man is said to have laid by the pool for 38 years waiting to be healed… When Jesus comes to the man he asks this question… Do you want to be made well? Those words could echo through the centuries to today…

It should be obvious a man lame for such a long period should want to be made well; but the man answers with why he does not make it into the water… Jesus says to the man, “pick up your mat and walk” and the man obeys and walks away and is made well… The same is true today we can become lame by our circumstances, “lame excuses”; they paralyze us from our hearts desire or want to be made well…

Let my story today stir the waters of your heart and let your desire or want to be made well guide your way this day… It is time to stop waiting for God to do something and realize he has been waiting for you to want to change… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

RED HOT TO SUPPORT FIGHT AGAINST WOMEN’S HEART DISEASE

Did you wear your red today? Today is National Wear Red Day February 6, 2015 to support prevention of heart disease in women… Coach did and like every day he is “red hot” teaching women heart disease effects women as it does men… In fact 1 out of every 3 women will die from a heart attack or stroke and it is estimated 80% preventable…

Having a healthy lifestyle of balanced nutrition and exercise is our best offense to defend both woman and men against this fatal disease… It is far better to prepare for a healthy body than to repair a body which is unhealthy…

It is my prayer God will speak to the “hearts” of both women and men to keep their hearts (beliefs) pure, their minds clear and their bodies willing to live within their hormone and metabolic design… To make having a healthy lifestyle one of the major priorities of life and to put an end to this deadly disease… God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

DID YOU TRY THE KEY?

It was ten years ago on a frigid day much like today… In my hurry to make it inside and out of the cold Coach left the lights on in the car… Later that day when I went to start the car the battery had died and my electric key would not open the door… I went inside to ask for help and several police officers who were members came out in the cold and tried to break into the car so it could be jump started… We were out there for the longest time, when an elderly man walk by and ask did you try the key?

We looked at each other as if we were casting for the part of dumb and dumber… We had all become so used to using the electric key the manual key escaped us… The answer to our problem was right in our hand…

I find the same is true when we don’t ask for God’s help… The answer to our problem is right there, but we forget to ask… The bible says you have not for you have asked not… Next time you might be struggling let me ask you, did you try the key? God bless… Coachwww.thefatlosscoach.com

Take Off To Be Your Best

Most would think a nutritionist using a title “take off to be your best”, would be referring to taking off weight… Well most of my work is focused of teaching healthy principles on losing weight, but today my message is on developing the behaviors to keep it off…

One of my favorite birthday gifts given to me quite some time ago were flying lessons… On the first lesson I discovered four principles required for flight, I would also learn were required to soar behaviorally to reach your goal…

The first principle was thrust in order for plane to take off the pilot must go full throttle or full power as plane goes down runway to lift off… The same is true with behavior in order to lift yourself up to reach your goal it requires giving all your heart or full power of desire…

The second principle was lift and the role the wings played in obtaining flight… In behavior the wings and lift would be surrounding yourself with role models and a support group that inspire you and encourage you have what it takes to be your best…The principles thrust and lift for a plane’s flight must overcome the principles of weight and drag to remain in flight… The same would be true behaviorally to remain in flight to be the best you can be…

The third principle weight of the plane must be overcome by the power of the thrust and the lift of the wings… The principle weight in behavior refers to the challenge or weight of your circumstances… The sobering truth of life is there are days where our circumstances require all our heart and inspired effort to remain faithful… It is important to avoid the weight of placing others before you as priorities; as it is far better to line them up beside you to the left and right as they become your wings…

The fourth principle the drag of gravity on the plane must also be overcome by the power of the thrust and the lift of the wings… The drag in behavior refers to the negative influences and the history of past mistakes… We must ignore the negative voices and keep no record of our past mistakes… At all costs we must keep others from dragging us down and learn how to forgive our past mistakes… Negative influences and un-forgiveness will put a heaviness on our heart, which will result in a heaviness on our bodies…

I will never forget the first time my instructor pilot and I headed down the runway and went full throttle and took off… The feeling of power and lift and to soar like a bird was amazing…

In life God is my co-pilot and a relationship of His power to give me thrust and my faith to trust Him as the wings we have soared over the weight of my circumstances and the drag of negative influences to keep reaching for the best I can be…

I hope my words today inspire you and empower you to go down the runway of life, and taking off to be your very best…www.thefatlosscoach.com

VICTORIA’S SECRET

It was 12 weeks ago and I received a phone call saying “Coach I have tried just about everything to get down to the body fat level I used to have… I have a personal trainer and they told me the missing piece is my nutrition plan… My trainer highly recommended you, what is your secret to success”…

Well the Coach’s “secret” has been proven to work for thousands of clients and keeps working… Here is the Coach’s secret formula…

1. Portion your meals 30% protein, 50% carbohydrate and 20% fat… Based on your percent of body fat, activity level, exercise schedule, food preferences and any health restrictions…

2. Eat quality proteins containing wide range of amino acids, high fiber low glycemic carbohydrates and fats providing essential fatty acids…

3. Schedule 4 or 5 meals based on individual caloric requirements and timed 3-4 hours apart to manage blood sugar levels and pancreatic and metabolic hormone responses…

4. Keep your body from adjusting to approach by cycling fat- burning and recovery days “Coach’s Glyco-Cycle”…

Victoria’s journey started at 33% body fat and her recommended body fat for a female 61 years old was 29%... Coach is happy to report Victoria dropped all the way to 24%, which is the body fat recommended for a female in her thirties… Remember her goal was to have the body fat level she had long ago and Victoria is keeping it “NO Secret” she has it again… God bless… Coach www.thefatlosscoach.com
