Almost everyone who has a lot of weight to lose will hit a point where their diet is not perfect, but not great either. This will happen before they reach their goal and is usually triggered by an event that takes them out of their diet groove. It is usually a trip or holiday. I have [...]
Starting a weight loss/fitness program is a pretty big deal for most people. It is intimidating because of the unknown and also because people don't want to fail. It is easy to put things off when people are unsure or intimidated. They are always waiting for the perfect time to start. The truth is there is [...]
Once a person starts to follow the correct diet for weight loss they will start to feel better almost immediately. They will have more energy and will feel less "bloaty." But once in a while they will go off of their diet and eat a lot of bad foods, when this happens they will wake up with a "food hangover." I [...]
I have said many times that one of the best predictors of weight loss success is the ability of a person to stick to their diet on the weekends. My clients who lose weight the quickest are able to keep it tight on the weekend while the people who stay the same or lose very slowly are [...]

The reason for this is that they have probably tried to get fit, healthy, and lose weight many times before and have failed to reach their goal. [...]
My weight loss system revolves around weight training twice a week with a specific diet. I will often get asked by my clients, "should I, or can I do cardio on my off days?" My answer to this is unless you are really lean or you plan on doing ALOT of cardio then the added cardio [...]
The other day one of my clients who has been training with me for about a month asked me how she was doing and how her weight loss results compared to others that I have trained. I actually get asked this question quite a lot. It also something I don't like to do. I don't like [...]
