My husband and I have been training people for over 20 years and this is a common practice with people who struggle with weight management. Mathematically, it would make sense; however, that is NOT how your body works. Under eating during the week so you can over eat on the weekend is an example of a dieting eating…

cottage cheese, with plain greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, strawberries, and a touch of honey. eat alone or with graham crackers - tastes like cheese cake and is a great post workout meal. for something with a little more weight - try adding raw oats. Let it set in the fridge over night (oats will soak up any liquid…

In my experience with training people wanting to gain or lose weight (usually wanting to gain muscle and lose body fat), I have witness a lot of "quackery" from dietitians ... one went so far as to tell a diabetic to eat whatever she wanted and to just let her pump do the job . . . which almost ended her life! I would 1)…

I prep all of our meals ahead of time (cook all the chicken/beef/turkey, bake all of the granola/protein bars, and prepare the sweet potatoes/quinoa/rice on Sundays. I'll also prepare the oatmeal (in single servings) and the boiled eggs (sometimes, I mix the egg whites directly into the oatmeal while I cook it). After I…

Number one . . . Congratulations on your weight loss. It sounds as though you may have EPOC - which is completely treatable - and may explain the excessive hair growth. There are a lot of hair removal options on the market (other than shaving) that will help you with that - until you get your hormones in alignment. :)…

You are correct in your thinking . . . what people mean when they say they "lose fat" is that they are actually shrinking the size of the fat cells. If you lose 20lbs of fat, that doesn't mean you lost the cells (unless you did it through surgery)... it means you shrunk the fat cells by 20 lbs. ;)

From one migraine sufferer to another (and from a wellness/lifestyle coach/personal trainer perspective) . . . there are a ton of different reasons you may be suffering from migrains. The truth of the matter is the medications only mask the symptoms (the headache) but do NOTHING in terms of solving whatever is causing them…

I start with a low calorie, low sugar, non-gmo protein powder and 8 oz unsweetened almond milk for my base. I stick with low sugar add-ins like frozen berries, pumpkin, cocoa, etc. and ice. Smoothies can be just was unhealthy as a a stack of pancakes at your local greasy spoon. Just because you use 100% fruit juice doesn't…

Intervals (HIIT) are always best . . . example: if you normally run on a treadmill at 6.5 for 45-60 min try this . . . 2 min 12% incline at fast-paced walk - try NOT to hold on 2 min 0% incline at 6.5 jog 1 min 0% incline at 7.5 run REPEAT pattern for allotted timeframe. You can apply this method to nearly any piece of…
