A Better Body

1. Get into the mindset. So many people sabotage themselves with past issues. They have no belief in themselves or drag a bad previous fitness experience into the present. You have to listen to yourself, your mind and spirit -choose to be successful in your health.

2. Understand the science. Proper nutrition is key. I recommend whole foods, High fiber, water, rich vegetables, essential fats, and lean low-stress protein, all-natural and organic when possible. There's no magic pill here but you have to understand what type and how much food matches your physical out put. Food is simply energy and synchronizing is the key for maximum results.

3. Cleanse. I recommend certain high-fiber foods and juices to pull the toxins out of the body and make the metabolism more efficient. Sometimes I prescribe an 11-day cleansing; I see people lose 10 or 15 pounds and keep it off.

4. Exercise. Make your body move. Start with what you like. Take it slow at first, then fine-tune. Build confidence, don't go full throttle at first. There’s nothing worse than guilt. Let it go.

In two weeks, you'll see a difference

Diet Gimmicks

Before you waste your money and your time on the latest diet gimmick, use the old rule, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
The only ways to lose weight (without surgery or prescription medications) are:1)Take in fewer calories,2) Burn more calories, or3) both.

Fitness Goals

Hey guys - Goals, whether you want to lose weight or increase your endurance, it's important to tailor your workout to fit your goals. Seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it? However, almost everyone I talk with... begins a fitness program finding their enthusiasm waning faster than they can say "Yes, actually, I would like fries with that." If this sounds like you, stop blaming yourself. Instead, take a look at your goals to make sure that, a) they're realistic, and b) you know exactly how to reach them.

Let me help u figure out how to reach it. This means you're gonna have to put down that phone (I know you were about to order some infomercial fitness gadget, weren't you?) and pay attention.

Join my Boot Camp Program or become a client at the gym...I can help....

The Failure Cycle

Conventional diets don't work - they are based on weight-loss instead of fat-loss. You restrict yourself to a very low calorie diet or liquid diet and thinks you are reaching your goal because you are losing weight. But, because the diet is not designed to lose fat, you are mainly losing muscle weight. Upon resuming normal eating habits, u gain the weight back. So, as the cycle goes u start the same method all over again.......It's called yo-yo dieting.

The key to permanent weight management is understanding the difference between weight loss and fat loss....
