So this blog is a part of a paper I am working on currently, it is raw, it is my basic thoughts, it is the general info, and it’s not gracefully written but here it is..
It is thoughts in my head, it is on the tip of my tongue every day, I repeat it over and over until I am blue in the face. I repeat it at OC Fitness Bootcamp, I repeat it at IB Pilates and Fitness, I repeat it to my clients of Luck’s Personal Training, and I repeat it yet again and again.
You can not crash diet and starve yourself to a thin and healthy body.
If you want to be anorexic – I’m a trainer, a coach, a nutritional guide – I won’t help you and I won’t play party to your mind games.
If you want health and fitness and to have a great athletic healthy toned fit or muscular body, then I would love to help you.
Myth #1 No sugar is better than sugar – no no sugar just means fake cancer causing chemical shitstorm of death. It is low in calories and low calories = thin as we all know but thin does not = healthy.
Myth #2 Atkins/low carb is the way – … the creator died of a heart attack, and if you think you can maintain a healthy life binge eating on hamburger meat, slap yourself and for the love of all that is sensible go eat a high carb (but healthy) carrot until you gain your common sense back
Myth # 3 Not eating is ok as long as you eat 1 healthy meal, sure if you want your body in starvation mode and therefore holding onto every calorie it can in the method of gross wrinkly fat, to live with headaches, mood swings, and breaking down every muscle in your body.
Ladies and gentlemen –
Here it is the way to save you a million dollars on gimmicks, diets, cheap tricks, and repeated failures. .
Wake up – eat a piece of fruit.
Make a lean protein meal – consume it (ideally 20 – 30 minutes post fruit, but 5 minutes later is ok too )
Go workout or go to work
Have a lean protein meal or shake I suggest ( www.teambeachbody.com/alyxandkris ) and potentially some vegetables.
Have a lean lunch with veggies and protein and maybe a complex carb like brown rice or sweet potatoes.
Go back to work or workout.
Have a shake if you’re starving or snack on some raw veggies.
Make a lean high protein, high color splash full of vegetable meal.
Drink a gallon of water a day.
If you can’t pronounce the chemicals in it, don’t eat it.
If it has more than 5 ingredients, its probably all processed crap.
Go workout or at least for a post dinner walk or some form of post dinner activity ( you pick your poison )
Get 8 – 10 hours of sleep or a bare minimum of 6. Your body needs sleep to function to lose weight, to heal, to recover, and to function. Sleep is more important than your workouts. Your workouts are more important than going out at night or that hour of TV. Your family and your faith and your overall happiness are the most important aspect of healthy weight loss.
Be active ( park farther away ), do some pushups, walk the soccer fields while waiting on your kids, do active family activities (hikes, rollerblading, parks, beaches, camping, swimming, mommy and me classes, anything that involves movement), work out at home if you can’t go to the gym, get brave ( tell people your goals ), make a workout partner, and put your money where your mouth is ( spend some money on your commitment whether its new sexy hot yoga pants, or workout gear for your home) .
Your health is the only thing you have once that you hold entirely in your hands, now get out there and make the most of it.
