INACTIVITY OR OVER EATING????

The relationship between weight and exercise is anything BUT simple

Diet induced excess weight alters the brain function so you do not want to exercise and so you utilize less calories at rest.

Research in Cell Metabolism suggests that inactivity is a result of excess weight and not the cause of excess weight. Interesting HUH !!!

So now, exercise is even more difficult and causes failure when you try to do weight reduction and exercise simultaneously. One at a time is the way.

30% of Americans over 6 years old LEAD an entirely sedentary life. WOW!!!

80% adults do not meet the American minimal recommendation for exercise.

Inactive adults pay $1437 per year in health care costs, INTERESTINGLY the cost of losing 50# and then it is repeated every year there after. Incentive?????

Understanding biology and exercise will make you a success.

Our education classes make a difference

Diet Books at Barnes and Noble

HOW MANY DIET BOOKS AT BARNES AND NOBLE

I visited and counted the NEW diet books and identified 24 new books. Who is going to follow and understand any of these books without a Coach? No One!

My basic books for our program are :

1.              Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes, 2007

2.              Why We Get Fat by Gay Taubes, 2010

3.              The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes, 2016

4.              The Secret Life of Fat by Sylvia Tara, 2016

These are meticulously researched and documented and are “changers” in how we view nutrition. They are the foundation of our high protein low carbohydrate program that is effective, efficient and safe.

I have identified 5 additional books that I thought were innovative and additive to our basic philosophy.

1. Diet Right for Your Personality by Jen Widerstrom ( Biggest Loser). She divides dieters into 5 groups of organized doers, swingers, rebels, everyday heros and never evers! A good idea of how we can succeed and fail in certain personalities.

2. The Zero Sugar Diet by David Zinczenko. Addresses the marketing that has increased our sugar consumption by 25%. Sugars with “drone-like precision go directly to hips and thighs.” This is a good approach to why we need to lower carbohydrates (sugars).

3. The Cheese Trap by Neal D. Barnard. Cheese is in everything today to enhance taste and appearance. It has chemicals that directly influence addictive behaviors in our brains the same as heroin and morphine thus helping us eat more and more to get our fix.

4. Body Kindness: Transform Your Health from the Inside Out by Rebecca Scritchfield. It addresses incremental changes to approach food ingestion. This is a great adjunct to our diet program as our clients exit and re-enter regular food exposure.

5. The Hugry Brain by Stephen J. Guyenet. It iscusses brain pathways, circuitry and how foods affect them. Feeling full, feeling hungry, feeling warm and comfortable or feeling threatened and fearful are all caused by chemicals. Goes hand in hand with our co-creating conversations that we use in our coaching

Come learn more with us on our Journey from Connection – Collaboration – Co-Creation.

The common thread

The common thread

I have gone to Barnes and Noble and reviewed 24 new "Diet Books" WOW a lot of info.
What the most common threads through all the books are:
Detoxify your house ( get rid of the tempting foods)
Shoot for 10% body weight loss as soon as possible
Limit flavors, textures, variety and salt at the beginning
Keep your body warm - weight loss makes the body cooler and increases appetite
Get sunshine as much as possible
Regular spacing of meals - no feast or famine
ALWAYS eat breakfast and this IS THE #1 mistake
Limit alcohol
Stay hydrated because we cannot tell hunger from thirst
Sleep 7-8 hours of good quality
Keep your protein intake high - 100 -120 grams per day
Stop the processed foods that are high in carbohydrates
Decrease carbohydrates, stop artificial sweeteners and especially anything with HCFS
        (High Concentrated Fructose Syrup)
Manage Stress
As you would for golf, tennis, swimming, football GET A COACH!!!

We all need help in getting on and staying on track.

A New Exercise approach

A New Exercise approach

Guess What!!!!!
 A new study from McMaster University  found that 1  minute (YES 1 MINUTE) of intensive exercise within a 10 minute time frame performed three times per week was equally effective at improving markers of heart and lung  fitness, insulin sensitivity and levels of mitochondria efficiency ( the energy powerhouses of muscle cells) compared to traditional aerobic training of 50 minutes performed three times per week.This is a 5 fold lower time commitment.

So how

2 minutes warmup cycling/running/walking
20 second ALL OUT sprint, as fast as you can go
2 minute recovery light cycling/running/walking
20 second ALL OUT sprint, as fast as you can go
2 minute recovery light cycling/running/walking
20 second ALL OUT sprint, as fast as you can go
3 minute cool down light cycling/running/walking

This 1 minute of intense activity can be done cycling, walking or running

Professor Martin Gibala is the lead researcher on time-efficient workout strategies.

Lack of TIME IS NO LONGER AN EXCUSE.
