Day by Day to achieve SUCCESS
1. START by establishing some routine in your - bedtime, waking time, exercise time, eating time and social time. I always hear how everybody has to respond to their kids "games" and let us be real, these are games and you are dealing with your LIFE. Which is more important???
2. Go to bed and wake at approximately the same time for each day. The body's hormones LOVE routine.
3. Eat BREAKFAST, after 8 hours there are no energy stores to draw on and not eating leads to craving of bad calories that are tempting us everywhere we travel. Take in 30 Grams of protein NOT a high carbohydrate/sugar breakfast like we have become use to. High protein shakes will help you achieve this - some as high as 24 grams. This will decrease craving and even out your day of eating.
4. Start EXERCISING simply by walking more before any other activity. Learn to stretch.
5. Our clients resist tracking food and exercise. They do not want to journal or even fill out our convenient Blue Cards. Yet tracking food and exercise is how we keep score. Without measuring we can never get better. There are even Apps to help those who do not like to write.
6. Think before you eat and plan your eating for tomorrow. Planning reduces binges and munchies and helps you avoid bad calories.
7. Get a COACH to get you started on your road to success.

Daily Inspirations
Don't make excuses for yourself
The key to weight loss is not only change, but the motivation to change
When one approach is not working to reach your desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it's time to devise another approach.
Exercise regularly, whether it be walking around the block or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Start doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you'll be doing the impossible!
It's not about how good you are, it's about how bad you want it.
You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day.
At Your Weight Loss for Life, we encourage weight loss, but not to this woman's extreme. Rachel Frederickson lost 155 pounds. While that may seem enticing, it's actually not even remotely healthy. If you take a close look at the image, you'll see that she doesn't seem to have any substance: fat OR muscle. Do you think what she lost was healthy?
Would you rather be covered in sweat at the gym, or clothes at the pool?

Exercising - Good?
Exercising - Good?
The "biggest loser", Charles Atlas, Jack Lalane, Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons, and Judi Sheppard Missett (Jazzercise) all participated in the exercise craze that attempted to mimic the cult of the athlete in the quest for a moderate weight. This has subsequently increased the success of orthopedics, podiatry and chiropractics with no lasting success for the fight against OBESITY. Euripides stated 2400 years ago "Athletes are slaves to their belly, and know not how to live well. In youth they strut about in splendor, the idols of the fans, but when old age comes upon them they are cast aside like worn out coats. Neglecting the old rule of health which prescribes moderation in all things they spend their lives in over-exercising, in over-eating and over sleeping. Hence they seldom live to old age and if they do, they are crippled and liable to all sorts of diseases. They have not health nor have they beauty. Even those who are naturally well proportioned become fat and bloated, their faces are often shapeless and unsightly." We need to avoid this trap and move into understanding how to eat, how to wisely exercise so our precious muscles, tendons and joints are not damaged. We offer this new common sense approach to weight loss for the rest of your life.

Water is REALLY good for you!!!
Use Water to Lose
Weight and Maintain the Loss
ENOUGH water can reduce the risk of colon and bladder cancer
by 50%.
Water facilitates removal of toxic waste from joints,
kidneys, liver, brain and skin
Water assists blood to flow freely avoiding clots and
strokes
Water helps the brain signals flow more efficiently
AND Water
HELPS WEIGHT LOSS HAPPEN AND
MAINTAINS IT ONCE YOU LOSE THE EXCESS WEIGHT
WHAT IS ENOUGH
To estimate the amount divide your weight in pounds by 2 and
this is roughly the water intake you
need per day. A 200 pound person would
need 100 ounces of water or about 10 ½ 8
ounce glasses of water. No wonder overweight people suffer form arthritis
because they are ALWAYS dehydrated and the joints erode from use when
dehydrated
How can I get my
water
1.
Start every day with 8 ounces of water, not
coffee
2.
Keep a water bottle in your car to sip on instead
of eating something
3.
Add a little flavor to the water; mint, melon,
cucumber, lime, lemon and consider Propel Water
4.
Before every normal meal drink an eight ounce
glass of water.
5.
End your day with an 8 ounce glass of soothing decaffeinated
tea while watching the news or reading or listening to music
This is already 5 glasses not counting #2 and #3
Caffeine drinks like coffee, teas and sodas (diet or regular)
dehydrate you and increase your appetite and hasten dehydration.
Avoid caffeine !! other than coffee 1-2 cups per day or 1-2
diet sodas , 8 ounces each drink – NO MORE.
Your will feel better right away and you will lose weight
and your lost weight will not come back.

Alcohol and Weight Gain
Alcohol and Weight Gain
Alcohol is a special case. Alcohol is metabolized mostly in the liver. Some 80 % of the calories from a shot of vodka, for instance, will go straight to the liver to be converted into a small amount of energy and a large amount of a molecule called "citrate". The citrate then fuels the process that makes fatty acids out of our glucose we ingest. So alcohol will increase the production of fat in the liver , which probably explains alcoholic fatty liver syndrome. It might also make us fatter elsewhere, although whether we store these fats as fat or burn them might depend on whether we eat or drink carbohydrates with the alcohol, which we usually do. Roughly a third of the calories in a typical beer, for instance, come originally from maltose - a refined carbohydrate - compared with the two-thjirds from the alcohol itself.
A beer belly is the conspicuous result.

Importance of Protein Quality
The importance of Protein Quality
Proteins are very important molecules in our cells. They are involved in virtually all cell functions. Consideration of protein quality is especially important while on a diet because all of your cells function through their proteins. Your diet must provide the proper balance of amino acids and nitrogen essential for your body to satisfy protein synthesis and glucose production, basic biological functions needed for cell growth and maintenance. A high quality protein provides the essential amino acids in the proper balance. The protein in all meal replacement products manufactured by our supplier ( Robard Corporation ) has a perfect amino acid score of 1.0 according to the Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Scoring ( PDCAAS) by the FDA to ensure optimal nutrition for optimal health.
Remember if you do not protect your body with high protein ingestion during weight loss you lose muscle mass and this is not only arms and legs but your heart.
Come see us for weight loss and we are the only program with a MD/NP in EVERY clinic on site.
