When I first started training to lose weight, 90% of my success was from nutrition. I would never condone this, but during the six months that I lost 50+ pounds, I did not do any cardio. I lost the weight strictly from increasing my weight training and changing my diet. I have worked with all bodytypes and personalities, whether it’s someone who wants to add muscle for a competition, or lose weight or just be more healthy…I can help.
It is important to have a customized meal plan and someone to help you stay on it. I have a link below that may help you get started, but please contact me if you would like me to customize a meal plan for you. In the meantime, here are a few tips I’ve learned over the past 10 years I’ve been in the industry…
- Eat breakfast everyday!
- Eat for nutrition first and foremost
- Don't skip meals
- Don't sacrifice the real food for the junk (if you want dessert — eat it only if you have room, don't eat less of your meal so you have room for dessert).
-
Your last meal should be complete two hours before bed
-
Chewing gum helps
- Every bite counts- remember 100 calories a day (which could be one bite of mac & cheese) adds up to 10 pounds a year! So, "just a bite” will make a difference.
- Be patient! Don’t buy into the media’s impression that you can loose 10 pounds in one week or add 10 pounds of muscle in one month…
Now, if you are
ready to make some changes in your life, then you can start by writing
down at least 3 days of your food intake- every detail- and then email
me to request your meal plan (download
food diary).
