3 Reasons Most Women Over 50 Unknowingly Kill Their Metabolisms, and How To Recover Like a Champ!

3 Reasons Most Women Over 50 Unknowingly Kill Their Metabolisms, and How To Recover Like a Champ! Reason 1) Not Eating Enough My clients always think I am crazy after sitting down with them and then telling them they are not eating enough to lose weight. I cannot blame them for being doubtful after our society has been telling them daily that to lose weight you must eat less, not more. However, what most fail to realize is that eating less food can slow down your metabolism and put your body into starvation mode. Metabolism, in simple terms, is the speed in which your body burns through food. So, eating more can increase it, and eating less will almost always slow it down. ....

Real Results Fitness in Rockford MI- The 6 Fitness and Nutrition Mistakes Most Make in January!

Here are the fitness and nutrition mistakes most people will make in the first 2 weeks of January and beyond.

1. Going On A Fad Diet
Every New Year comes and people seem to start a diet. Whether it’s an extreme fad diet like detoxing your body, eating only soup or crackers or doing something that restricts calories like Keto, Weight Watchers, or South Beach. Following a “DIET” is a flawed approach. Most people fail to realize after all these years that any diet that restricts calories, or certain foods is doomed for failure! “BUT it worked for me before David! I lost 25 pounds on the Weight Watchers program.” My answer is well if it worked ....

Real Results Fitness-Personal Trainer in Rockford, MI- Are You Gaining Weight Over the Holidays??

Do you know the average adult gains 7 pounds of fat between Thanksgiving and New Years? 7 pounds of Fat in 6 weeks!! Yikes!! A recent study shows that most never lose the weight they gain over the holidays. If you add this up over the years this 7 pounds each year could be close to 20 pounds or more! But there is a small percentage of the population that never gain any weight during the holidays! So how can you be the lucky group of people who don’t gain any weight? Do you have to be selected randomly like the lotto? Or follow the latest fad or starvation diet?? NO! The solution is not some magic diet or pill its about doing things the right way.

Halloween is when the Holiday weight gain really starts!

Did You Know Halloween is when the Holiday weight gain really starts? Most people put the emphasis on Thanksgiving and Christmas along with New Year’s, but the weight gain challenge actually begins right when the eating festivities begin. Halloween is a time of many candies and treats, but it needn’t be a time of expanding waist lines. The overindulgence of sweets during Halloween often leads to poor food choices following the holiday. The holidays should not be used as an excuse to eat poorly and thusly gain weight. The candy and other treats are still lingering around the house after the holiday is over, encouraging bad eating beyond just the one day. This behavior can ....

Another Big Reason Diet Pop Could Be Making You Fat!

I recently wrote a blog post and asked the question “Is Your Diet Pop Making You Fat?” You can read that post here: Diet Pop Making You Fat? ~For as long as us humans have lived on Earth, we have been eating foods that taste sweet, like honey and sugar cane. So, your brain has developed a conditioned response in reaction to eating something sweet. It is called the Cephalic Phase Insulin Response (CPIR), and it’s responsible for the fat-storing effects of diet beverages, including diet sodas, diet tea, coffee, energy drinks, sports drinks, and flavored waters. This adaptation in us humans is a reaction to the eating of sweet-tasting foods. The body ....

PERSONAL TRAINER IN ROCKFORD MI- Do You Just Want To Get Your Butt Kicked!?

DO YOU JUST WANT TO GET YOUR BUTT KICKED? If you are looking for an effective and consistent CHANGE in your body and lifestyle then you need to stop looking for just the hardest workout in town. The difficulty of a workout alone is NEVER as important as the program as a whole. I can't tell you the number of people I have coached who thought if they weren't sore after every workout or they weren't nearly passing out or throwing up they weren't going to see results. Yet these same people usually came in over trained (too much exercise -usually cardio), and they were usually under eating or malnourished and because of this not seeing results. Or they hadn't done any form of ....

Why Do You Procrastinate!?

Why do you procrastinate and put things off? Is it pure laziness? Is it you are not serious about getting things done and getting up and moving? For some people I truly believe the reason they procrastinate is fear. You are afraid you will fail. So if you don’t try you don’t fail. But if you don’t try you also will never succeed. My biggest pet peeve as a Fitness Professional and Health Coach is someone who says they are going to do something then they don’t do it. We are all guilty of it. Even myself. There isn’t anyone out there that doesn’t procrastinate in some form. But procrastination will kill your chances ....

Personal Trainer In Rockford Michigan- "I EAT PIZZA EVERY WEEK!"

Sometimes my clients are shocked when I tell them I eat pizza once a week! I know what you’re thinking “David don’t you preach supportive eating and no fast food”? Well yes I do…..but you mustalso realizeI preach having a day once a week where there are no rules (optional). I believethat ifyou follow a sound nutrition plan 85-90% of the time you SHOULD
find balance in your nutrition plan and life and be free to eat things not on your plan 10-15% of the time. This will allow you a plan that you can follow the rest of your life and not feel guilty for doing it especially if you have been consistent and have been working hard. So does that mean ....
