13 Excuses That Can Sabotage Your Diet & How To Overcome Them
Wouldn’t it be easy to stick to a healthy diet if you lived in a world with only grilled chicken breasts, broccoli and oatmeal?

Unfortunately this just isn’t realistic.

You’re going to encounter foods you shouldn’t be eating from time to time, and be faced with a choice: give in to the craving or stick to your healthy lifestyle plan.

Overtraining – Your Body’s Way of Saying “Screw You”

Weight Loss Made Easy with Your Phone?

Some people blame modern technology for the lack of activity so apparent in our society. After all, 100 years ago there were no computers, cell phones, and TVs that enabled people to sit on their butt 8-10 hours a day.

Back then, people were more active. They had to be.

But a recent 2010 study suggests that your phone – yes your phone – can actually help you lose weight!

Sounds crazy, I know but…

Bear with me for a second while I explain this.

Researchers in Finland studied 27 participants who used a “wellness diary” application on their mobile phone, which enabled users to track their weight over the course of 12 weeks.

As you would expect, the amount of physical activity correlated significantly with weight loss, as did different measures representing healthy changes in dietary behaviours.

The study’s results suggest that the mobile phone diary is a valid tool for observing weight management and related behaviours in helping people to lose weight.

So why was the application helpful?

Basically, it doesn’t matter whether you use a fancy application or a piece of paper, what matters is that you’re tracking your progress.

What you measure gets managed, and what is managed gets done.

This is a well-known secret to anyone whose achieved any degree of fitness or weight loss success.

When you track your workouts (such as the weight used, reps performed, etc…)

you are more likely to progress towards your goals.

Ask any fitness expert and then tell you exactly what their benching, squatting, or how many pull-ups they can do.

Because they keep track of it all!

Similarly, when you weigh yourself on a weekly basis and record your progress, you are more motivated to continue moving forward because you have a visual representation of your progress.

Plus, writing things down keeps you accountable to your goals!

So if you want to lose weight, grab a sheet of paper, write down your goals and start tracking your progress.

You’ll be amazed at how this ONE simple success secret will help you stay on track and reach your goals that much sooner!

I always considered myself a very energetic person.

All my life I managed to workout everyday, work 8-12 hours per day which includes doing nutrition consultations, phone consultations, writing blog posts like this one, public speaking, continuing my education, and everything else that needs to be done to run a successful business.

Today I do all of the above PLUS I have an active 1 year old princess that takes after her great grandmother who is always on the go.

Since I am not getting any younger I need to pay attention to some “basic” principles to be able to keep up with this “new creation” who does not seem to ever run out of energy.
