As a personal trainer, fitness and nutrition coach, I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years. It seems almost every client I have worked with comes in with some form of misinformation or they believe they already have an idea of what they need to do to lose weight and keep it off. Unfortunately, many of these individuals have been told by our society to believe that there is only one way to lose weight and that is by “eating less food and exercising more.” This statement is true to some degree; you do have to create a calorie deficit each day and week to lose weight on the scale. I would also agree exercise is a very important factor in losing weight. However, just by eating less food and exercising more, you are not guaranteed to lose weight. Not to mention if you are losing weight there is no guarantee you will keep this weight off without following the correct plan.
So in this 5 part series I give you 10 reasons why most are not losing weight.
Reason 1) Not Eating Enough
My clients always think I’m crazy after sitting down with them and then telling them they are not eating enough to lose weight. I can not blame them for being doubtful after our society has been telling them on a daily basis that to lose weight you must eat less, not more. However, what most fail to realize is that eating less food can actually slow down your metabolism and put your body into starvation mode. Metabolism, in simple terms, is the speed in which your body burns through food. So eating more can increase it, and eating less will almost always slow it down. Think of your metabolism as a campfire; the more you feed it the more it will burn, and the less you feed it the more it can slow and die out. So eating more than your BMR, (basal metabolic rate) which is the amount of calories your body needs to function is key to losing weight and keeping off.
Reason 2) Eating The Wrong Foods
When trying to lose weight, most of us focus on just trying to create a calorie deficit each day and not really looking at what foods they are eating. This is a mistake in my opinion. The foods you choose are just as important as the amount of calories you eat. Not all calories are created equal. If I had a plate of donuts that equaled 1000 calories and a plate of chicken, rice and vegetables that equaled 1000 calories you think the body would recognize them the same right? Outside the body they are the same amount of calories but as soon as you eat them they are digested differently. The donuts are loaded with saturated fats and simple sugars and your body will spend little or no time digesting them and they will have a very good chance of being stored as fat. Now compare this to the chicken, rice and vegetables, which are more natural and thermic, (produces more heat during digestion) your body will recognize them as fuel and use them for energy and not for storage.
The foods you choose will be more important long term than just the amount of calories you eat. Choosing low fat meats and dairy, high fiber non processed grains, and plenty of fruits and vegetables will aid you much better in losing weight and keeping it off than just eating less.
Look For Part 2 Coming Tomorrow!

I get questions about Subway quite frequently. Is Subway a healthy choice for Supportive Eating?
There are worse things out there but if you think these meals are healthy because its supported by “The Biggest Loser TV Show” think again! All the meats, breads, and even condiments are severely PROCESSED. Meaning they have huge list of ingredients and have had many things added to them or take away from their once natural state.
Subways is low fat but its doesn’t mean it can’t make you fat. Remember processed foods digest much quicker than natural foods and your body will burn little to no calories digesting them.
Subway once a week is probably better than McDonald’s but not by much.
We want to avoid things like: high fructose corn syrup, enriched and bleached flours, dextrose, corn syrup..and GUESS WHAT? THEY ARE IN THERE!

_________________________________________________________
Other than the veggies and maybe the tuna you’re getting nothing that is good for you. The more processed the food is the less the thermic effect (calories burned during digestion) and the better chance this food will be stored as fat. You want the ingredients list of any food you buy and eat to be as small as possible. Eat real natural foods and your body composition will thank you.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday to remember what we are all thankful for. It is also a great day to spend quality time with family and friends. Unfortunately, sometimes it also is a great weekend to gain weight around our waist line. So for this special occasion I have come up with: “The 5 Important Steps To Not Gaining Weight Over Thanksgiving Weekend.”
Step -1 Do not skip meals (eat breakfast)
The average person will skip breakfast and all other meals up to the time they have thanksgiving dinner. Most sleep in or cook all day and think they will be eating a big meal for thanksgiving so they shouldn’t eat till then. BIG MISTAKE! When you miss meals one you will go into starvation mode and your blood sugar will drop, so when you do finally eat you will eat WAY TOO MUCH and stuff yourself silly! Large meals will be hard for your body to digest and have a better chance of being stored as fat!
Step 2- If you’re doing the cooking use the most natural foods and ingredients possible. Use healthier versions/alternatives for your favorite foods.
-Natural ingredients are lower in calories and your body will use them for energy and not for storage.
I was privileged to have been on the local talk show on channel 13 “Take Five and Company” last Thanksgiving where I talked about this very step. You can view my 4 minute appearance on the show here by watching the video below:
Step -3 Do NOT have one large thanksgiving meal. Have 2-4 smaller versions of these meals. You can have small portions of Turkey, potatoes, and stuffing, (lots of veggies), even a little pie in each meal just in smaller portions. You will have more energy and feel less like falling into a food coma after eating these smaller meals.
Step -4 Drink lots of water throughout the day. Your thanksgiving meal will probably contain lots of sodium so staying hydrated will be very important. Try to avoid high calorie beverages like pop and alcohol they are just empty calories and will add to fat storage. Also, never have dessert on a empty stomach have it after your smaller meals to help stabilize blood sugar.
Step-5 Get out and exercise a little. Though most of us will be in a food coma, and enjoying the 4-F’s: family, friends, food and football. Taking a walk around the block or working out prior will help you burn off those extra calories. Walking the mall the next day to find all those Christmas deals could be another great option.
These steps aren’t too difficult to follow just need to plan an ahead a little. These steps could be the difference of you gaining or not gaining 5-7 pounds this Thanksgiving weekend.

Did You Know Halloween is when the Holiday weight gain really starts?
Most people eat more candy than they really think between Halloween and Thanksgiving and then the rest is down hill after that. You need to get ahead of the game and set your New Years Resolutions right now! While everyone else is starting fresh in January you will have 2 months of results under your belt.
Remember candy is LOADED with sugar and sugar inhibits fat release! Meaning if your goal is weight loss then sugar is going to really hurt your chances of losing weight and keeping it off.
Today I stopped by WZZM Channel 13 to discuss some healthier and alternative options to handing out the traditional candy to kids.

I recently wrote a blog post and asked the question “Is Your Diet Pop Making You Fat?”
You can read that post here:
~For as long as us humans have lived on Earth, we have been eating foods that taste sweet, like honey and sugar cane.
So, your brain has developed a conditioned response in reaction to eating something sweet.
It is called the Cephalic Phase Insulin Response (CPIR), and it’s responsible for the fat-storing effects of diet beverages, including diet sodas, diet tea, coffee, energy drinks, sports drinks, and flavored waters.
This adaptation in us humans is a reaction to the eating of sweet-tasting foods. The body learned to associate sweet-taste on the tongue with the resulting sugar-energy-load that landed in the stomach.
The brain began to understand the sweet-taste with the need to program the liver to
prepare for the arrival of an outside source of high energy – sugar.
As the tongue senses something sweet, it then programs the brain to set into motion a series of biochemical events. It doesn’t matter if the sweet taste comes from natural honey or from artificial sweeteners.
This biochemical flood triggers the liver to stop the manufacture of protein and starch from its body-reserves, and to begin to store the glucose-energy that circulates in the blood.
In the case of diet beverages, the sweet taste sets these events into motion.
But when no calories actually appear in the stomach, this causes the body to demand real food, with resulting hyper-urges from the liver to overeat, or to drink more of the sweet-tasting liquid, and the flood repeats itself.
Almost instantly, the body starts producing insulin, the “fat” hormone, which stores sugar in the blood stream, and programs the adipose tissue fat cells (belly fat) to store, store, store.
This Cephalic Phase Insulin Response (CPIR) creates reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which further triggers strong cravings for more sweet-tasting items, and high glycemic foods.
After the taste buds are activated by a sweet-taste, the urge to ingest food can last from 1 to 2 hours. So, you are hungry for hours, because no real food or calories has satiated the body’s need for energy.
And now, the body is producing insulin for no reason, because the brain has instructed the liver to store instead of burn/release its storage supplies.
The result is fat, fat, fatter – the Cephalic Fat Roller coster.
Again, take a look around how often do you see a really lean person drinking Diet pop?

There are so many different kinds of protein powder out there most people do not know where to begin. Yesterday I stopped by on WZZM Channel 13′s “Take Five and Company” and talked about a few different kinds of the most popular protein powder and what it should be used for.

Well, it turns out and is a surpise to some that diet pop doesn’t help you lose weight. In fact, it may be helping you gain more weight!
According to a study done at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio, your odds of becoming overweight or obese increase a staggering 41% with every can or bottle of diet pop you drink each day.
The study followed 1550 people, 60% of who were overweight at the beginning of the study, for eight years and measured their pop consumption. During the study, another 200 people joined the ranks of the overweight and obese.
The study found that by drinking two cans of regular pop a day, your risk of becoming overweight increased about 47%. But far more surprising was the finding that by drinking two cans of diet pop each day, the risk of becoming overweight or obese increased by more than 57%.
But Isn’t Diet Pop a No-Calorie Beverage?
The authors of the study are quick to point out that diet pop does not cause obesity on its own. Rather, its more likely that people decide that they are being good by ordering a diet pop so they so they can have the double cheeseburger and large fries.
Another theory is that artificially sweetened pop doesn’t have the same ability to satisfy your sweet tooth that real sugar does. Instead, diet pop leaves you thirsty and still craving something sweet, so indulgers are likely to try to curb their craving with another diet pop.
A third theory suggests that people who drink regular pop are much more likely to allow for the extra calories somewhere else in their diet, so their overall caloric consumption doesn’t increase as much.
Well, What Should I Drink?
Ideally, to hydrate your body and quench your thirst, water is always the best choice. Fresh brewed ice and green teas sweetened with freshly squeezed lemon are also good choices. But if you are addicted to pop, you might consider reaching for a regular one instead (still not the best choice). You’ll still decrease your odds of gaining more weight and feel like you are treating yourself to something sweet.
Lastly, remember that a diet soda isn’t a diet food. If you want to lose weight, simply switching to diet pop isn’t going to be the magic bullet that gets you bikini ready.
Cutting out soda pop altogether, switching to ice water and green tea, watching your calorie intake, making the right food choices and starting an balanced exercise routine are the best ways to stay out of the heavy majority, who more and more often, can be seen holding a can of diet pop.

Is Aerobic Exercise The Answer To Fat Loss??
I see it every day people doing hours on the treadmill or the bike.
Others taking a 60 minute aerobic class on an empty stomach
Even more people coming in and just doing the elliptical for an hour and then doing a few crunches and then hitting the showers.
Does aerobic exercise burn fat? Yes and No. Meaning it can if you have everything else right!
If your not eating enough of the right calories and the right balance of foods you could be burning muscle for fuel!
Aerobic exercise is good for your heart and lungs, its also good for burning calories, which in turn will create a calorie deficit to lose fat.
But aerobic exercise can actually slow down your metabolism. Aerobic exercise is catabolic, meaning it can sacrifice muscle tissue if done wrong or for too long.
Aerobic exercise is not EFFECTIVE for fat loss by itself. You need to have a concern for muscle!
You need to challenge and protect your muscle through resistance training and actually eating ENOUGH to maintain muscle.
Resistance training is #1 in losing fat and keeping it off. Why because the more muscle you have the fat you burn!
If you are not doing resistance training you are not going to lose fat and keep it off!
If you are doing resistance training and have been doing the same routine for more than 2 months! You need something new!
Add in the right nutrition plan with the right exercise routine you have now created a fat burning machine.
Are you not sure if you’re doing everything right to reach your goals?
Then what are you waiting for?

Weight Watchers is a quite popular diet program based on low fat eating, exercise, and group counseling. Every food item from ice cream to pizza has a point value based on its nutritional content. You can eat as much as you want as long as you stay within your points. To assist the dieter in their lifestyle changes all members are encouraged to attend group discussion and counseling sessions, mostly in person, at local Weight Watchers centers. As of late they have come with out a new creation called Flex points, this is just the same program in a better marketing package. In the Flex plan they have added a weight watchers point calculator and use more weight watcher recipes. Most dieters are given a reserve 35 points (flex points) to use for unplanned activities or cravings. I see no difference from before.
I have many clients that say they had success on the Weight Watchers plan in the past. Yet I always question if it worked so well why are they seeking out a NEW solution? It obviously didn’t work for them in the long term. If it worked so well why didn’t they stick to it?
Weight Watchers in my opinion used to be a pretty sound program, far as trying to help people, but as of late it seems to be using a lot of slick marketing and advertising to bring people in. Far as being successful that’s a different story. They usually advertise telling people enjoy the foods you love and lose weight while you do! The points plan controls the amount of food you consume but not always what those foods are. So you could be potentially eating less food but not exactly better choices for healthy weight loss and long-term success. So the dieter thinks he or she is making some healthy changes in their diet by eating fewer calories and staying within their points but could be consuming higher sugar and fat meals, meals that are not balanced enough, or high enough in calories to support your metabolism. See the problem here? The points system does not differentiate between foods high in sugar or high in carbohydrates protein or fat. This diet is assuming all calories are calories and they all affect your body the same way. I’m here to tell you they do no!
Some foods are more easily stored as fat, some foods effect your blood sugar levels more than others, some foods are actually more thermic, meaning your metabolism actually increases trying to break these foods down! Some foods combinations can make you fatter, while some can make you leaner. If your goal is long-term fat loss (not just weight) then the specific foods you are consuming are more important than the calories from food in general. When will people realize calories are not BAD! Calories are fuel for the human machine. Without the right amount of calories you will slow down are metabolism, and store more fat in the long run. You need calories and the right ones.
Now Weight Watchers is actually selling their own processed frozen meals. They are nice for convenience yes…but are they good for you? No, not really they are balanced yet they are loaded with sodium, preservatives and have a have a paragraph for the ingredient list. You can make the same meal yourself for the same the price and with fewer preservatives. Any diet that cost money to join and then try to sell you their own food has other interests in mind.
Exercise is not a #1 priority for this Weight Watchers program and if your goal is long- term success it should be! The problem with long term diet counseling and group support which most Weight Watchers program includes is you develop no self- reliance and self- discipline to do it on your own, which is crucial to succeed long term. This diet is added to my list that use low calorie deprivation to lose weight on a scale. Weight loss on the scale is not accurate indicator of fat loss. I know many people who lose lots of WEIGHT on a low calorie diet and then long term they gain the majority of it back. Their are 3 things you can lose on the scale:
1)Water
2) Fat
3) Muscle
There are better and more successful options people..trust me.

Are you working out day after day on your own and not seeing great results? Are you working with a trainer who seems to be kicking your butt, yet you’re not seeing the progress you like? Well I’m here to tell you it’s not just about the workout. If you’re not changing your eating habits then you’re not going to see the results you really want long term. I still see trainers give their clients a great workout and then send them on their way and never mention nutrition or educate them or ask what they are eating on the outside. That’s like a car salesman selling you a car without an engine. Without the right stuff going on under the hood and without the right fuel you will not see great results. If you or your trainer are not focusing on nutrition at some point you will fail! Not because you can’t do it! But because you are not applying the successful fat loss strategy…….which is proper nutrition in balance with proper exercise.
Maybe proper nutrition is the missing piece of the puzzle you have been looking for……
Like I always say “Any Trainer will give you a workout” “But will they give you RESULTS?”
