Posted by: | Comments
Stamina that lasts all day and all night.
Doing all the things that you want to do and not getting tired.
Would this be a dream or a nightmare?
Maybe both. The dream is boundless energy all day and all night that keeps us alive; the nightmare is most common in the realm of physical performance. It’s a nightmare that many experience when starting a workout program or by competitive athletes who like to out-perform their competitors, yet are not equipped to do so. Read More→
Let’s talk Nutrisystem – the good, the pretty- good and the very, very ugly
Posted by: | Comments
Straight out: I hate prepared, packaged food. Not just packaged but frozen food.
I’d rather eat fresh food out of the garbage in New York City before I eat packaged food that can linger in your fridge for 2 years.
Is it unrealistic to live life unpackaged in this way? Does Nutrisystem, a pre-packaged food weight loss delivery system, have a role in today’s society?
(NOTE: I use the term Nutrisystem, but there are plenty of companies doing the same thing, such as Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, The South Beach Diet, eic. When I say “Nutrisystem,” I include all such plans.

Liquid Weight Loss: A Magarita, a Cosmo or a Long Island Iced tea?
Posted by: | Comments
Those don’t have to be the only drinks that added lbs over the summer. One glass of alcohol has about 120 calories. Multiply this by 7 and you will have 840 calories per week. This accumulates to 3.360 calories. Whoa! This is close to 1 pound per week.
Calorie facts:
Serving size is one glass (200 ml)
750 calories for 1 Long Island Iced tea
453 calories for 1 Margarita
413 calories for 1 Martini
151 calories for 1 Cosmopolitan
150 calories for 1 bottle of beer (depending on brand and alcohol)
There are two times when you most likely gain weight: right after the holidays in December and over the summer, sitting outside or by the pool enjoying cocktails over the months of July and August.
It’s no surprise that cleansing and natural weight loss programs are in demand after these times. Do they work? Which ones are the one that work the best? Should you do them or not? Here are some solutions and guidelines for you:
3 things that make org. foods conventional foods

Why does a tomato, eaten in Europe, taste so special that you’re still talking about it a week later? Why doesn’t an American tomato (even an organic one) not compare?
Organic food in the States has become mainstream. The Department of Agriculture sets the standards for which items can wear the coveted green and white USDA Organic label. Yet, as usual, there is always some wiggle room.
Did you know that a food wearing the USDA organic label can contain up to 5% ingredient non-organic material? Also foods that have 70% organic ingredients can indicate that they are “Made with Organic Ingredients” but cannot carry the organic label. (But do you remember to look for that label? Or are you carried away by the proclamation of “organic?” All of this is very beneficial for the major market distributors. Read More→
Calorie shifting – the simplest strategy to losing it!
Posted by: | Comments
Some people will tell you to do crazy things to lose weight, such as cutting out all carbohydrates, eating only cabbage for 2 weeks or following a complicated regiment of foods and pills. I am not one of those people who will tell you to do crazy things like that. I will keep it always very simple so that you can implement the advice easily. And see results quickly.
Today, I want to share a simple strategy that I advised a client; by the way, she experienced great success. It helped her to lose 55lbs. And it is as simple as shifting your calories.
When do you eat the most during the day? From food logs analyzed over more then 10 + years I see that the most calories are consumed at dinner. Relaxing, finally being able to sit down, having a drink adds the most calories. Read More→

Staying Turned On
Posted by: | Comments
Have you started a nutrition and/or a fitness program? Great! Your intention has moved you in the right direction. Yet once again, you are not staying turned on enough by the program and you are about to quit.
I will now tell you the truth as to why you don’t stay on the program in order to accomplish what you dreamed of. And please accept my apologies upfront if I offend you.
Reason number 1: Talking about it sounds better then actually doing it.
Sometimes I hear: “I will do anything that you say when you accept me as a client.” I am saying to myself:”Let’s see.” Although I say from the beginning that my program has 99.7% success rate, participation is required. If you don’t participate, it won’t happen.
Solution: Talk about the actions you have actually done today instead of what you are going to do.
Reason number 2: You are a quitter. Read More→
