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.

Stopping Late Night Snacking to Lose Fat
Stopping Late Night Snacking to Lose Fat
I sat down with a client the other day who is trying to lose over 30 pounds.
The conversation went something like this.
“Sam, I just don’t know what to do – I eat egg whites for breakfast, a salad for lunch, some fish or chicken for dinner with veggies, and that’s it.”
“That’s it,” I said inquisitively since the scale hadn’t moved too much.
“YES, that is IT…well, sometimes I have a snack after dinner.”
“A snack – what does that mean?”
“Well, if I’m watching TV it can be some chips or ice cream.
But not a lot.
I don’t eat a lot of sweets.
But I need something sweet or salty after dinner.
Should I not eat at night..?”

Protein Bars – Which One is Good?
Which protein bar do you recommend Dr. Sam?
This is one of the questions that keeps coming up?
So I thought I just share with you an email I got from one of my clients about the subject.
Client: What Kind of Protein Bar do you recommend for breakfast Dr. Sam?
Me: I don’t recommend any protein bars especially if you are trying to lose body fat.
Client: But don’t have time in the morning
Me: Get up 10 minutes earlier.
Client: But I only get 5 hours of sleep.
Me: Try to get at least 6-8 hours of sleep. If yo can only get 5 hours then there wouldn’t be much of a difference between 4:50 minutes and 5 hours.
Client: Thanks Dr. Sam

OK,
Sam here. Most protein bars are just glorified, expensive candy bars. I remember when they first came on the scene.
When I looked at their nutritional information they don’t look too bad.
One of them even tasted just like a Snickers bar.
I should have known better because my mom always thought me “If it looks like a duck, quacks like then it’s a duck”
Sure enough when I had my clients try it they stopped losing fat.
What gives????
Then a independent study came out and showed that NON of the so called protein bar’s nutritional label was even close to being correct.
It indicated that they are in fact a glorified, expensive candy bar.
Before I forget I can’t tell you how important it is to have a good breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast is proven to help you with your fat loss goals.
Remember to eat like a KING for breakfast and like a PEASANT for dinner and not the other way around like most people.
