Breakfast of Champions – Or Not

I attended a breakfast seminar this morning, at 7:30 am, which was hosted by our Chamber of Commerce. The food offered was your typical continental breakfast of simple carbs (bagels, donuts, danishes) and fruit. I just had a plate of fruit and a cup of coffee. There was no protein to be found and I was kicking myself for not bringing any with me. I’m always teaching others to plan ahead, yet there I was unprepared and mad at myself. I ended up eating an omelet when I got home.

So what does a typical breakfast look like for someone after a fit and lean body? Read more

6 Steps to Getting Lean Quickly

Americans want things fast and they want them now. That includes getting lean. I know women get discouraged when they don’t see the scale move on a daily basis.

In fact, if they get on the scale and see it move up 5 pounds, they panic and starve themselves for the day. This is not healthy.

Due to hormones, barimetric pressure, foods you consume and drink, your weight can fluctuate between 5-10 lbs.

I like women to focus on their circumference measurements and the way their clothes feel and look on them. The scale never gives an accurate description of your progress.

One of the ways to help you get lean quickly is getting a gazelle like focus on your nutrition. Many popular diet programs allow things like processed, convenience foods as part of their program. This really does not help you get any healthier and definitely does not aid in teaching you how to change your lifestyle to one that will keep you strong and disease resistant.

To help you get lean quicker follow these steps:
1. Eliminate processed frankenfoods from your diet.

2. Eat whole foods in their most natural state.

3. Increase your intake of fresh fruits and veggies. Eat them with EVERY meal and snack.

4. Eat starchy, high glycemic foods post workout only.

5. Strength train and perform intervals for your cardio sessions.

6. Rest

These 6 steps will get you lean quickly and your results will be permanent.
