Hey guys,

This week I told a bootcamp of 9 people that their “nutritional success” was like this scene from “City Slickers”:

What is the one thing that is keeping you from reaching your goals? Fast food? Late night eating? No breakfast? Some of you may need to eliminate a negative (less salt, less fat, less processed food, etc.). Or maybe you need to add a positive (more fruits, more veggies, more proteins, etc.).

At first, the one thing may seem like a simple behavioral change like I have mentioned above. But when you dig a little deeper, your “one thing” may reveal a deeper emotional reason why you continue to struggle with food. You may be sabotaging your own efforts because of thoughts like, “How will everyone look at me when I lose all of this weight?” or “I remember when that family member called me fat when I was a teenager…I have always thought of myself that way ever since.” Now your “one thing” takes on a different meaning as you start reclaiming your life and the body that you deserve.

Whatever your one thing is, get after it today and make a change! Don’t focus on anything else except the one thing!

Let us know if we can help.

In a given day I probably have 2 or 3 e-mails, a few phone calls and several “in person” conversations about weight loss.  With so many different weight loss plans and diets in the media right now most people are more confused than anything else.  For most people when you get confused, you get frustrated and that just leads to the inevitable failure of your goal.  Today I thought I would give you 2 straight forward tips for losing some unwanted pounds. 

1. Substitute a Protein shake for one meal a day.  Not only will this decrease your total caloric intake for the day, it will bring you one step closer to getting the protein requirements you may need if you are an avid fitness enthusiast.  I recommend a high quality whey protein as opposed to the many other types of protein shakes and supplements.  My defining reason for this is whey protein is easily digested and can be broken down by your digestive system more efficiently. 
2. Eat fiber!  The more fiber you eat the more you feel full thus decreasing the total amount of calories you consume in a given day.  Also, fiber takes longer to digest so again you are giving yourself more time to let your body utilize the nutrients consumed during your meal.  Be sure that you are eating fiber contained in food not a fiber supplement (fiber supplements are usually consumed for an entirely different reason.)

I have used these two nutritional tips with myself and many clients and have had great success. I hope this will help you get the results you’re looking for.

Live with Strength!
