Shit Women Say to Personal Trainers (Inspired by Shit Girls Say)

WHY DO WE CALL IT WEIGHT LOSS

     The definition of loss is missing something that is cherished. How does that pertain to weight loss? If we lose something we feel sad and it takes a while to get over that feeling. Everyone I know who wants to get in shape looks for the next great diet. Let’s look at this word for a moment. If you drop the T in Diet what do you have? Die, isn’t this what most people want to do when they are trying to get rid of those extra pounds. Why is something good we are trying to do have such a bad connotation?

  This brings me back to my point about weight loss. When you lose something you look long and hard to try and find it again. This means after struggling to lose say 50lbs over 6 months you wake up one day and say oh my god where did those 50lbs go. I must find them because a loss is not good. Where could it have gone? I know that 50lbs is in the pasta, cookies, white flour, cupcakes and candy and my old sedentary lifestyle. I want it all back to make me feel whole again.   


This is why I think we should call the process of weight reduction Weight Release, doesn’t this make sense? When we get rid of extra pounds we release that in the form of energy into the universe. We don’t want it back. We will not wake up in a month or two and say where did my flab go? We released it never to return. This can be accomplished with a flexible eating plan and workout to help tone and shape your body.


Now that I have peaked your interest let me tell you about our program. You can release on average 5lbs a week guaranteed by following my own weight release eating plan and participating in a workout program that will set your metabolism on fire.

WHAT IS THE SINGLE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR HEALTH

WHAT IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR HEALTH

HEALTHY FOODS THAT USUALLY DON'T COME TO MIND

HEALTHY FOOD YOU DON’T  USUALLY THINK OF

Agave-Derived from the same plant used to make tequila, agave syrup has generated lots of buzz recently. Also known as agave nectar, it has a deep, rich flavor that is slightly sweeter than honey. It's touted for its low glycemic index (GI) value, meaning it won't spike your blood sugar like high-GI table sugar. Plus, you can use about one-third less to achieve the same level of sweetness.

Artisan Multigrain Breads-It used to be that you had to seek out a local baker to get high-quality artisan breads. Now, chances are your local market is baking up specialty breads right in the store. Look for breads made with heart-healthy oats, whole-wheat flour, barley, millet

Brussels Sprouts-Once considered cabbage's "smelly" cousin, the Brussels sprout is gaining in popularity. The veggie is packed with 130% of your daily value of free-radical-fighting vitamin C per 1-cup serving (proof there was a reason your mother tortured you so many years

Farro-With the growing focus on whole grains, ancient grains like farro are gaining a following. Farro is a type of wheat traditionally used in Italy, with a satisfying chewy texture and nutty flavor. This whole grain can be used in salads, soups or side dishes.

Flaxmeal-The health community is buzzing about omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed and flaxmeal (ground from flaxseed) are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3. ALA may help to lower inflammation and increase blood flow in the body, reducing the risk of high blood pressure and blood clots. Try sprinkling flaxmeal on your morning cereal or adding it to a smoothie

Gluten-Free Baking Mixes-Gluten-free products are everywhere now with the growing awareness of celiac disease, gluten intolerance and gluten sensitivity. Eating gluten-free used to mean kissing your love of delicious bread and baked goods goodbye, but no longer: now you can have your (gluten-free) cake and eat it, too, when you use one of the great gluten-free mixes available today.

Greek Yogurt-Thicker and more tangy than traditional yogurt, Greek-style yogurt has become an everyday staple for many cooks. A 6-ounce serving of nonfat Greek yogurt has 15 g of protein, 5 g more than traditional nonfat plain yogurt. (However, if it is calcium you are after, stick with traditional yogurt that hasn't had the whey drained from it-it has 34 percent of your daily value per 6-ounce serving, three times more than Greek yogurt.) Creamy and delicious, Greek yogurt makes a homemade tzatziki sauce or healthy dessert quick and easy.

Heirloom Tomatoes-Old varieties of tomatoes are making a comeback. Varieties like Gold Nugget, Aunt Ginny's Purple, Big Ben and Red Zebraare now showing up in your neighborhood market. Like all tomatoes, they are an excellent source of vision and bone-healthy vitamin A.

Israeli Couscous-Round semolina pasta, bigger than regular couscous, Israeli couscous is great in soups, salads or pilafs. The small spheres are toasted, not dried, so they have a textured nutty bite. Choose whole-wheat to get extra heart-healthy whole grains.

Kombucha-Kombucha is a fermented tea with a fizzy "zip," offered in flavors from mango to cayenne-watermelon. Newly available in supermarkets, it has probiotics and more antioxidants than other teas. Enjoy the beverage by itself or in a smoothie.

Multigrain Tortillas-When it comes to tortillas, there are more options for shoppers than ever before. Forget basic flour-now you can find whole-grain tortillas with added heart-healthy flaxseed or B vitamins. You'll get more fiber when you choose whole-wheat or whole-grain over white-flour tortillas.

Nut Butters-Peanut butter may be the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "nut butter," but today there are many varieties found right next to that old standby. And they have different nutrition profiles: 2 tablespoons of almond butter provides 75 percent of your daily value of vitamin E, which may help fight damage-causing free radicals. Cashew, walnut and hazelnut butters add exotic flavors to your next snack and are packed with 5 g of protein per 2-tablespoon serving.

Spice Blends-With home cooks' growing interest in global cuisine, exotic spice blends are becoming commonplace in the spice aisle of local markets. Look and you may find berbere (an earthy, aromatic Ethiopian blend) next to the bay leaves and ras el hanout (a robust Moroccan spice blend) next to paprika. These spice blends make it easier than ever to create exotic, flavorful meals in your own kitchen.

Steel-Cut Oats-Here is an example of "what is old is new again." Steel-cut oats (sometimes called Irish oatmeal) are whole-grain oats that have been cut into little pieces rather than rolled.This hot breakfast cereal is less-processed than other types of oatmeal and has a nutty crunch. Like all oatmeal, it's high in soluble fiber, which may help to lower "bad" LDL cholesterol, and has a healthy amount of protein, both of which will help you feel satisfied.

These are just a fraction of foods that will make you feel and function better through out your day.  If you have any questions about any of these let me know.
