Enough said. Enough talking. Find out if you are ready to change. For each question, rate your response between 1 and 5 (1 stands for very low, 2 for low, 3 for medium, 4 for high, and 5 for very high):

Why Diet Soda Makes You Fat
Posted by: | Comments
Which is it, damn it?!
Diet soda is poisonous for your body.
Actually, diet soda can help you lose weight, since it has fewer calories.
Conflicting information like this is certainly not going to help you make informed food decisions. But aren’t so-called “diet” foods supposes to cut down your calories and help you lose weight?
Now studies are confirming that diet drinks can make you fat. Dr. Helen Hazuda, a professor of medicine at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, stated “diet soda might be free of calories but not free of consequences.”
The fact is that calories make you either gain weight or lose weight. Read More→
SUCCESS! How Terry Conquered Hunger, Weight Gain and Emotional Turmoil in her 60’s
Posted by: | Comments
You often hear that it is very difficult, hard, or undoable to have a strong, happy, vibrant body at any age.
But if you really listen to the person making this statement, you will hear disappointment, lack of commitment and know-it-all statements. As a weight loss coach, I hear something else: I hear that person saying, “How did this happen again?”

The benefits (and disappointments) of massage
Posted by: | Comments
Go for a massage! Many times we have heard these words as advice after an intense training program or competitive event.
This month, in the “Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise” we are educated differently about the benefits of massage and muscle recovery.
This study tested the hypothesis that sports massage aids muscle recovery from exercise by increasing blood flow to muscles. Increased blood flow should help to remove the build up of lactic acid, which is stored in the muscles.
Twelve individuals where recruited and tested. Two minutes of strenuous isometric exercise with the forearms were performed to elevate the lactic acid in these muscles. Right after the volunteers exhausted their arm muscles, they either lay and relaxed or received a massage by a certified sports massage therapist.
