Kiss your scale goodbye…

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

This is going to be a quick tip today…

Throw away your scale. I know that we’ve heard that the scale can be your friend and your enemy. I personally have been on both sides of the spectrum as a trainer but also as a person who has tried to lose weight and it’s far more effective to try on clothes that can’t fit you and see 4 weeks from the time how they fit.

You should be focused on losing fat and inches and not so much weight although with the correct training program and sound nutrition that can be something you can also get as a result of hard work and dedication.

Remember the scale while it can be your friend it seems to be a greater enemy. Focus on how you feel and look more so and don’t let the scale determine how successful you’re doing.

Starvation Diets- Why You Should Avoid Them…

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

We’ve all seen pictures of top celebs Paris and Nicole and many others who seem to eat very little to nothing or at least that’s what their bodies seem to show.  More so Nicole than Paris but what I want to talk about today might be a sensitive issue to a few of you if not most of you.

Losing weight has been a struggle that many of you like me have had.  And till this day I continue to fight this struggle and there are some good days and then there are some bad ones as well.

This might be the case for you as well but I must warn you against a popular diet that many are doing and that’s what I’d like to call the Starvation Diet.  Many of you may know it as the lemon-juice diet.  Quite frankly either way you put it, this diet can do more harm to you then good.

Sure if you are about to cast for dreamgirls and need to lose weight then you could go on it but what happens when the major event you’re preparing for is done?  Or how about if you pass out during the main event because you didn’t supply your body with the nutrients it needs to function properly.

People we need to eat and we need to eat often.  Losing weight is not difficult if we take the time to plan what we are going to eat ahead of time.

Starvation diets often lead to people getting sick, gaining the weight you lost and possibly even more and not to mention the fact that you can become moody and depending on the person this can cost you a job, a date, a relationship who knows.

Again if nothing else take this as a warning to take your eating serious and if anything at all don’t go about your day starving yourself!

While we are not critics I’d like to know your thoughts about this… Do you agree with this, are you against this, do you have a personal story related to starvation diets? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
