No One Size Weight Loss

 

During a recent interview on Fox network, the show host Stan Simpson started his program by saying in America we are eating too much and working out too little…  Okay, so what is the BIG news, excuse my pun, we have all heard those comments more than we care to remember regarding obesity?  The “BIG NEWS” was my response, I said, “most people I meet eat too little, and their weight problem has little to do with exercise…  Stan’s response, “interesting”…

 

I kept on being asked the same question…  What is an average amount of food most viewers need to consume to lose weight?  My response, “no one size works for everyone, the right amount is unique to each person”…  I continued by pointing out only one isle in grocery store were food comes with any instructions…  Stan asked, ‘what isle is that”?  My response, pet food isle, He laughed and said interesting, I wasn’t joking…

 

Then I was asked give us examples of fat busting foods…  My response, there are no right foods, if you eat them in wrong amounts…  Most weight loss failures are the result of losing both muscle and fat, and the metabolism adjusting by slowing down, because the calorie reduction is too drastic…  Stan’s response again was, you guess it, ‘interesting”…

 

So what does work, when it comes to losing weight as fat and keeping it off?  Your approach needs to be customized to you…  What factors should you consider when starting a weight loss program?  The amount and type of food has been customized to your percent of body fat, activity level, exercise schedule, work schedule, health and food preferences…  

 

So the message of customizing and no one size works for everyone was load and clear…  So this year, do not make last years mistake if you need to lose weight…  There is one size which will work and continue to work, the ONE SIZE which fits you…      http://www.thefatlosscoach.com

Weight Loss Game

Weight Loss Game

I was back stage in green room of Fox TV, waiting to be a guest on talk show...  Waiting with me was former New England Patriot Tabucky Jones...  Patriots are my favorite team and I remember watching him play...  As we are talking about how much the game has changed, our conversation started the wheels turning in my head...  I was getting my material for my next article...

I told Jones, it seems like the players today NEVER commit a penalty...  They seem to argue almost every call...  I then said, "can you image if we didn't have referees"?  He just shook his head and said, "it would be crazy"...

My clients know me as The Fat Loss Coach...   Like all good coaches, I teach the rules to the game and help every client to become good players staying within the rules...  The biggest challenge to coaching in the "weight loss game", my clients are both the player and the referee...

Like any game, when we stay within the rules, we score, and when we play outside the rules there of course is a penalty...  So how do we become good players?  Like all good players, practice and then more practice...  Practice visualizing staying within the rules, before the game of right foods, right portions and timing of your meals...  Now I know what your thinking, coach, I can't be perfect...  I know, I don't expect you will play perfect, but you can visualize perfect...

Learn a valuable technique from the pro athletes, which will make you a pro at the weight loss game...  Before the basketball player, takes a shot, the golfer a swing, and baseball pitcher a pitch, they visualize the perfect outcome...  The ball going through the hoop, into the hole, or hitting the catchers mitt...  Does the perfect outcome happen every time?  Oh course not, but the pro's keep believing it will...  As soon as they stop believing, there performance and usually their career ends...

Now the game Jones played comes to an end and he is retired...  In the game of managing your weight your the player and referee and there is no end...  So let me send you off with your coaches pep talk...  You thought you could not do it, I always knew you could...  I helped to see you through it like every good coach should !!!

Big Picture Of Weight Loss

Big Picture Of Weight Loss

On Saturday 1/12/13 NBC Today show reported numbers, which were shocking to me…  They reported the number of women who were following some type of DIET were down from 34% in 1995, to only 21% today…  So had America over this period of time solved their great battle with weight?  Well, unfortunately that statement could not be any further from the truth…  So what did they say the reason for the drop?  Answer, a RELAXED attitude toward size…  The commentary made it sound like Americans were slowly giving up and just accepting getting larger… 

During the same week ABC reported a group of health clubs with a unique concept and three locations was starting to pop up…  Could this be the answer, to relaxed attitude toward size?  Hold, your horses, guess what their joining requirement is?  You have to be fifty pounds over-weight or more to be a member…  Is this a bad dream?

Well this is one American who is standing up and shouting it time to get “REAL UNCOMFIORTABLE”, with size…  Why should I take such a stand?  Though dieting numbers are down, there is an ALARMING rise in the numbers of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, gastro-intestinal disturbances, joint problems, and excuse the pun, the list is to LARGE to mention…

I’m the first to say diets don’t work, and have dedicated the last twenty-plus years explaining why…  If you are in need of weight loss, do not give up hope and certainly stop accepting it…  See the big picture, your weight loss approach needs to shift to lifestyle approach…  Food is not the problem, it’s the solution, and if your over-weight you ate your way into it, and have to eat your way out …   http://www.thefatlosscoach.com

Weight Loss No Magic

Weight Loss No Magic

 

When I woke up today something felt strange…  Go into the bathroom look in mirror, but nothing looks different…  Brush my teeth and check my tongue, but no spots…  Finish my shower and feel for fewer, but no fewer, don’t have the flu…

 

So as I drive into work, then it comes to me…  It’s the feeling I get in the pit of my stomach this time of year…  So what’s bothering me?  It’s the bombardment of commercials and media coverage promoting this year weight loss magic…

 

Its everything from the coffee bean diet, to the chocolate cake diet, and then there’s magical substance you sprinkle on doughnuts to make you lose weight…

 

Well I love a magic show…  I have seen David Copperfield’s  act several times live…  I love when he makes the audience disappear…  But one thing I have NEVER seen him do, is make the FAT from the audience vanish…

 

So if this year you are hoping magic will make your unwanted fat go away, and stay away, get ready for another year of disappointment… 

 

So what does work?  The same approach, which has worked year after year…  Learn to live within your hormone and metabolic design, not against it…  Yes, if you want to lose the weight as fat and keep it off, it will require a change in eating behavior…  Yes, its work, but it can produce a magical result… 

 

Eating the right foods, in proper amounts at least four times per day will have your fat disappearing along with being hungry or tired…  No it’s not magic, but it will sure make your weight worries vanish…  http://www.thefatlosscoach.com

Confusion Leads To Weight Loss

Confusion Leads To Weight Loss

 

If you have more than twenty pounds to lose this year, this secret alone will open the door to accomplishing it…  If you eat fewer calories than your body requires continually, which happens on most diets, you will keep from reaching your long-range weight loss goal…  Why coach?  Your body’s hormonal and metabolic design will keep it from happening…  It’s always best to work within your hormonal and metabolic design, than work against it…

 

Dr. Oz, said it best recently…  He said body builders have taught us to keep our muscles responding to exercise one of the best techniques is muscle confusion…  To put if simply it means to fool your muscle with different workouts to keep them from self-adjusting to the workout…  Then he went on to say the same is true with your response to calories and make up of foods on your diet…  You have to keep your body from self-adjusting to it…

 

Well Dr Oz, I agree with you…  In fact I agree with your statement whole-heartedly…  Why? Because it has been the foundation of my nutrition concept and teaching’s for more than twenty years…  I called it the glyco-cycle, and its more than just cycling calories confusing our metabolism from wanting to slow down or adjust, which is the underlining reason why most diets are poor solutions long term to get to your ideal weight and body composition…

 

So to lose weight as fat and keep it off, the secret is don’t try to lose it every day…  You must learn to cycle fat burning days with maintenance or recovery days…

 

So if this is the year you reach your ideal, listen to The Coach and Dr. Oz, the principle of confusion will get you there…   http://www.thefatlosscoach.com

Freedom To Lose Weight

Freedom From Being Over-Weight Comes With Responsibility

Okay, what does all this talk about freedom have to do with losing weight? Everything…  Being at your ideal weight comes with responsibility…  One of my offices is very close to a state prison…  The inmates don’t need to be responsible about three life responsibilities, job, money, or place to live… However they have also lost their ability to be free..  When released their freedom will come with a cost…  They now need a job, money and place to stay..  Their freedom comes with responsibility…

The same is true if you are over-weight… Most over-weight potential clients I meet are not responsible about three aspects of weight management, quality of food, timing of meals and portion of meals.  However they have imprisoned themselves in a over-weight body, sentenced to poorer health and quality of life…

To be set free, their freedom will come at a cost…  They must learn to eat the right foods, in right amounts at least for times per day…  Their freedom from being over-weight comes with responsibility…

We know a percentage of inmates will return back to prison, because their behavior was not reformed…  The same is true with the self imprisonment of being over-weight, the numbers who return are even larger…  No diet will reform poor eating behavior…  This freedom can only come with a change of heart…

It time for all of us to be able to say “I am free from being over-weight and free from all the hurt and pain it causes…  Its time to stand up and say, I AM FREE..   http://www.thefatlosscoach.com

Discover The New You…

 

Okay it 11:00 a.m. this morning and I’m teaching my next client her nutritional program…  When we get to the part how many calories she will be eating, I tell her 1492 calories per day…  Then we moved on, but the thought of 1492 wouldn’t leave me…  I started even to have trouble concentrating…  So what was so important about 1492?  Then it hit me…  We all know it’s believed to be the year Columbus discovered America…

 

Wow…  I was teaching her to discover the new her…  Many times, too many in fact my client wants to start out fixing the old behavior, when I have to help them DISCOVER new behavior…

 

Let this be the year we stop looking back trying to fix something from the past…  God put our eyes in front of our head and our feet our pointed forward, because that’s the direction He intended us to be heading…  The rear view mirror is small, but the windshield is large, keep your eyes forward, and discover the NEW healthier, leaner, disciplined, stable NEW you…

 

This year we will spend one day celebrating what Columbus discovered, lets spend the other three-hundred-fifty-one celebrating what you discovered, THE NEW YOU…   http://www.thefatlosscoach.com
