  • How To Break Through A Weight Loss Plateau...
    A few days ago, a customer asked me this question:

    "I eat healthfully, and exercise at least an hour every day, but I've been stuck at 146-150 for a while now. How can I get over this plateau and keep losing?"

    The older I get, I like to tell myself that I'm becoming smarter - or I may be just becoming lazier. In any case, I definitely don't work out that much. You can get great results without training that much. I was able to tolerate 1-hour workouts every day when I w...
  • Do You Need Any Pills In Order To Lose Weight?
    Here's my view on the subject:

    Many people believe that taking a pill will solve all their weight loss problems. They buy the latest "miracle drug" or "miracle supplement" and they expect that to help them lose weight without lifting a finger. This approach doesn't work. How many times have you taken such a pill and you lost weight and kept it off without eating properly or exercising?

    What's that? Never? So I thought. I rest my case...

    If you want to lose weight, th...
  • Why You Do Not Want To Lose 'Weight'...
    First of all, the human body is not just "weight". It has both fatty tissue and lean tissue (muscles, internal organs, bones etc). What you really want to do, is NOT to lose weight. It's to lose fat.

    Otherwise, if you currently look like a "pear" and end up losing "weight", you will just end up looking like a smaller pear. But, if you lose fat and preserve or even increase your muscle tissue, you will look (and be) healthier, stronger and sexier...

    When you want to lear...
  • The Best Foods To Focus On In Order To Lose Weight...
    1) Water. I'm not sure if this can be classified as "food", but it's undoubtedly the most neglected part of most people's diets. Our bodies are about 75% water. Yet, in America almost NOBODY drinks enough water (pretty much the same goes for the rest of the world). Drinking a glass of water 30 minutes before eating, will help you feel "fuller" - and you won't feel the urge to eat as much when the time comes. How do you know that you drink enough? Ideally, you should go to the...
  • How To Lose Weight By Eating More..
    Here's a great way to lose weight and keep it off:

    Instead of eating "3 square" meals, try breaking up your food intake in 6 smaller meals. This is the best way to lose FAT and maintain your lean tissue without feeling hungry...

    One of the better illustrations of this concept comes from the animal kingdom:

    Bears have a lot of fat because they need it in order to survive long starvation periods (like a hybernation).

    Deers are "lean and mean" as they tend to chew al...
  • A Simple Way To Measure Your Food During A Weight Loss Program...
    Many people ask: "I'm committed to losing weight but I get confused with all the different grams and amounts of food to eat. Is there a SIMPLE way to make sense of all this?

    YES THERE IS!

    You need to start thinking of food in "portions". Don't even THINK of starting to count every calorie in every food or every protein gram. That will just confuse you.

    Try eating 6 times a day and have a portion of protein and a portion of carbs in each meal. A portion is more or les...
  • How To Find The Motivation You Need To Lose Weight...
    Before you start a weight loss (fat loss) program, it's important to know WHY you want to do so. If you take care of the "why", the "how" will usually take care of itself...

    Don't just say "I want to lose 40 pounds". That's just a number. WHY do you want to lose weight? Will you be able to wear those clothes that you feel comfortable in? Will you look more attractive to the opposite sex? Will you be a great role model for your kids? Will you have more energy?

    Why do you...
  • How To Feed Your Family When You Are The Only One On A Weight Loss Diet...
    Many people complain that it's hard for them to stick to a diet, when they are the only ones on a weight loss diet at home. After all, the rest of the family has to eat "real food", right?

    So, how can you "feed" your family properly AND still stick to your weight loss diet?

    I'll give you some real examples of what I do. Usually, each "normal food" (cooked for the family) will have "good" parts and "not so good" parts. The trick is to eat more of the former and less of t...
