Health Fitness in Your 60s Build Strength Improve Mobility EP28

Secrets To Success In Health, Fitness, Nutrition & Lifestyle Of 60-69 Year Old Tradespeople (Part 5 Of 5)

By Podcast

Part Five –60–79-year-olds. #FitnessFridays with Dimitri Giankoulas Our last show of this series and Dimitri gets right into it. Yes, you still need to be active, but at these ages you need to be careful on the level of active. At this age there are a lot of failing body parts and putting too much stress on joints can create bigger problems, especially since older people don’t heal as quickly. Functional strength is what you are after at this age, learning to improve your mobility from everyday movements, getting up from the floor, lifting from a chair, twisting, and all of this stems from pain.

Spinal Hygiene Exercises – A T W Y that Dimitri has discussed on each of these shows. Working with a The TRX System, also known as Total Resistance Exercises, refers to a specialized form of suspension training that utilizes equipment developed by former U.S. Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick. We discuss as one gets older getting to an extreme overweight is dangerous and it should always begin with a full assessment, the data, from there the proper coach can learn the best course of action to achieve their goals. Diet is critical, if you haven’t built up your life with proper healthy details from your 40’s to your 50’s to your 60’s your body isn’t thermo genetically active, it takes your body at that age longer to process the foods. Anyone that is overweight means no carbs for breakfast, it’s like overfilling a half glass of water. Eating carbs for breakfast will only store it and convert it into sugar and it becomes more fat. As for lunch, it’s the same at any age, protein, carb, and fat. For dinner, eliminate the carb and focus on the protein and a little bit of fat. Exercise, Dimitri can tell what you have been doing for decades simply by looking at your side profile, no ass and hamstrings, means weakness in the lower back, means you have not been doing any lower body movements and that needs to change, you will require those two key areas for mobility. The conversation of mental health comes up, at that age mental health is important. Training will help; the injection of dopamine will help. Depression kicks in when people are not happy. Dimitri’s coach would always say, Growth or Decay, which one are you? Reach out to Dimitri and consider getting a coach to help you live a healthy longer life.

Health Fitness in Your 50s Overcoming Challenges Gaining Strength EP27

Secrets To Success In Health, Fitness, Nutrition & Lifestyle Of 50-59 Year Old Tradespeople (Part 4 Of 5)

By Podcast

Part Four –50–59-year-olds. #FitnessFridays with Dimitri Giankoulas This show begins with life stresses, as you get older, you have challenging moments in life, a divorce, separation, loss of a parent or parents, loss of employment and how this can affect your health, mentally and physically. At 50 you need to ask yourself are you doing this for your kids or yourself? Yes, you need to be a role model for your children, but you also have to be selfish, I am 50 now, I want to live a high-quality life for the next 30 plus years, that requires discipline and work. Heart Health, stress contributes to bad heart health, I’ve got all these things happening, life, do I get drinking, taking up vices and hurting myself and others or do I jump into exercise, but where do I begin?

It all begins with data, your foundation, where are you at right now? Actual work, begin with Calisthenics, that will allow your body to build, adapt, and grow, again, calisthenics are exercises that use your own body weight. Dimitri discusses proportions, he wants the 50’s to work the back more than the front, 60/40 split and it’s because the world is designed for the back, pull and push actions throughout our day. Adaptation is a beautiful thing for the human body. Take a human without fuel and make it work out, it will have to adapt, and you want the body to adapt and in your older year’s adaptation can become negative, where they wake up and start the day incorrectly, have a cigarette, coffee, donut, that is all adaptation. In your 50’s it’s a wakeup call, you can decide to wake up and live life to the fullest or you can give up and accept this is my life, no matter what, it falls on you to make that decision. Will you conform to life, or will you transform? Dimitri feels the fear at 50 is more detrimental than when you were in your 20’s. In your 20’s, your 30’s, you can make those mistakes, you can have those failures, take your 40’s to fix things and carry on. But in your 50’s it’s easy to have that mindset, I’m old, I can’t do it, my life is ok, I’m fine. Your 50’s doesn’t have to be that way. Move 3X per week for 45 mins, walk the dog, swim, exercise, you have to meal prep Sundays and Wednesdays, and you must journal, make 10 mins of your life belong to you, reflect on you and your life, every day by yourself. You will do this for 90 days and we promise you, your life will change, and you will see weight loss, you will feel better, move better, be a better human being. We wrap up this show discussing breathing, look into 3B Breathing, Brace Before your Breath.

Health Fitness in Your 40s Mindset Mobility Muscle Tips EP26

Secrets To Success In Health, Fitness, Nutrition & Lifestyle Of 40-49 Year Old Tradespeople (Part 3 Of 5)

By Podcast

Part Three –40–49-year-olds. #FitnessFridays with Dimitri Giankoulas We begin with mindset, because everything begins with mindset, if you wake up in the morning and the life, your body, your work, you have, isn’t what you want, your mindset will dictate how the rest of the day, that week, that month, that year turns out. In your 40’s your margin for error is smaller and smaller, you can’t continue with the bad habits, those habits will catch up to you and will make your life even more difficult down the line. Sit down and write out what is great about your life and write down what is terrible about your life, be honest, be brutally honest and write it down on paper, that connection to paper will connect your mind to the truth about you. The truth is most people jump into a healthy lifestyle without a plan, they just start and 30 days later they stop, it’s even worse in your 40’s. They just don’t K N O W what and how to do it. They need data about their bodies, they need to know where they are, what their body is telling them, then with that data they can come up with a plan and handle a healthy lifestyle for the rest of their life. The words “I know” are the negative words in your life, the moment you tell yourself I know you brain shuts off and doesn’t want think. Use words like, I will, I am, I shall, I’ll try, these will help you learn and move forward. Training in your 40’s you have to consider mobility, foam rolling, relaxation, lacrosse ball, stretching, yoga, because your body is older, your joints are older, your muscles are weaker and smaller, you have to slowly ramp up as you get back in or continue to train.

A good coach will design a program for you based on body type, based on age, and based on muscular dysfunction, most people are afraid of doing any muscle training with the concern of bulking up, in your 40’s you have to really train to bulk up. This issue is this age group focusses on so much cardio, which is great, but they also need the muscle training. Dimitri dives deep into the eating and foods, portions, all kinds of great tips here. Leads us to MHG – Medical History Goals coaches need to know what prescriptions and health issues you are currently on, extremely important to share this information with all coaches.

Secrets to Fitness Success For 30 39 Year Old Tradespeople Part 2 of 5

Part Two –30–39-year-olds #FitnessFridays with Dimitri Giankoulas It all begins with weight, the scale, is the old way of tracking your gains and losses, it’s truly about body composition, a reflection of tissues in relation to each other, fat and lean muscle tissue. In your 30’s your body begins to change, add life, marriage, kids, work, stress and watch your fitness drop and be pushed to the end of the line, worst thing to do. Food, find out what your body needs in nutrition, for example, Dimitri needs 1.5 grams of protein per his weight, multiply that 1.5 by your weight at 195 pounds and that’s 292 grams of protein per day with his training routine. It’s simple, you eat more than you burn, you gain weight. Opening a business is harder than tracking and training your body for life. Adaptation of the body is a normal process, as you train and reach your goals, your body will get smarter resulting in what got you to lose those first 20 pounds will not work trying to lose those next 20 pounds, you must shock the body to reach those new goals.

The biggest killer in North American is metabolic syndrome, a cluster of abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and high triglycerides. Avoid all of these and you will live a happy, healthy, quality life. If you don’t exercise, it will affect your sex drive, that is a fact, it will affect your testosterone levels, stress will contribute to lower libido. Alcohol increases in your 30’s because you want to celebrate life’s milestones and most men turn to beer and beer is the worst of the bunch. It’s not about what the scale says, not about the weight you are today, it’s about Resting Heart Rate. Calculate your RHR by counting your beats per minute, subtract 70 which is the average, multiply that figure by 60 minutes in an hour, multiply that number by 24 hours in the day and you get your total beats per day, that is how many EXTRA heart beats per day, EXTRA work your heart has to work, these EXTRAS lead to health issues down the road.Check out his app on Apple and AndroidWhat an amazing show full of truth, pain, fitness, health, exercises and more, I thank you so much Dimitri for sharing so much on your life for our construction lives, educating our listeners on everything to do with your body, mind, and soul.

Secrets to Fitness Success For 20 29 Year Old Tradespeople Part 1 of 5 3rd Version

Dimitri and Manny had this crazy idea, let’s do shows about health, fitness, nutrition and let’s warp up the conversations around age groups. Part One –20–29-year-olds. #FitnessFridays with Dimitri Giankoulas Listen to these packed 1-hour shows discussing so much about living a happy, healthier life. Let’s begin, the conversation begins with finding a mentor, your circle of friends and your family will determine what kind of person you become for the rest of your life. Of course, we discuss the 20 somethings digital mind set on food, ordering food, not eating healthy and it all stems from lack of knowledge that most 20’s don’t even know protein, carbs and fats. A lot of people live in reactive states, they use the excuse they don’t have enough time to meal prep, they don’t have enough time to exercise, they use excuses. With this age group they have so many resources for information but along with that comes so much misinformation. Dimitri breaks down the body types and the key exercises and actions each body type should focus on. Dimitri shares the EPOC system, Exercise Post Oxygen Consumption. Dimitri discusses food and what 20-year old’s should be eating and what they should be staying away from. Getting into and sticking with exercise and meal plans has always fall to your “why” honestly ask yourself why do you want this? That will lead to your goals and if you understand the mindset the why and the goals are easy and achievable. The 3 A’s of accountability, you need to Acknowledge can you do this by yourself? You need to Advance, what’s my next step? You need to take Action. Most people don’t do this. Shared and Discussed.

8 WAYS YOU CAN USE THE POWER OF LANGUAGE SELF TALK TO REWIRE YOUR MINDSET

8 Ways You Can Use The Power Of Language & Self-Talk To Rewire Your Mindset

By Mindset
8 WAYS YOU CAN USE THE POWER OF LANGUAGE SELF TALK TO REWIRE YOUR MINDSET

Do you sometimes make excuses for yourself or your actions and know you’re lying?

Do you ever feel like the way you answer back to others isn’t really what you want to say but due to doubt, fear or negative self talk you often find yourself answering using words that are not routed deep down within your soul?

If so I wanted to say its ok!, That means you’re human and like me and it means that as long as you pay attention, stay present and take the time to answer back to people we actually can change the trajectory of our life, our future and our bodies!

Today, since most of us are a bit behind due to either watching the Super Bowl or not doing what we said we were supposed to last night I wanted to share with you 8 ways you can use the Power of language & self-talk to be successful as many of us including myself often find

#1 – I SHOULD

When you say you “I should” do something, you are not fully engaged. It’s a very passive voice and it’s like you have given the power away that you feel you should have but can’t do. These words are far from motivating and as your coach I want to ensure I call you out on the use of these words.

Clients that use the term “I should” a lot display a red flag and often begin to passively go through the motions.

When I personally say “I should” I know whatever I’m talking about wont happen because there is not date or deadline behind it. There is no commitment and for that reason… I hate the words “I should”!

#2 – I CANT

You are probably right. If you say you can’t, you probably really can’t. Each time your brain searches for the right word to use to describe how you feel the minute it locates the file named “I Can’t”, it actually saves the answer in its memory bank in case it needs to grab it for future use. It’s a horrible word that silently and quietly builds momentum to ultimately allow your subconscious to believe this and be readily available for the host (you) to use whoever things get scary, challenging or unknown.

Having gone through 5 lockdowns and having lost so much of what was once a very fine-tuned business due to covid was and continues to be hard. I have no room for “I can’t” Those words aren’t able to be in my vocabulary so what if you change your language to “What can I do?” The possibilities are endless.

#3 – I’ll TRY

This reminds me of Yoda in the movie Star Wars. He said, “Do, or do not. There is no try.” “Try” gives you an out, it lacks intention and confidence. It sows doubt in your mind. When you say to someone “I’ll Try” it’s telling them and yourself that you would rather give someone a floating answer because you’re not sure enough to decide. What you should be saying is “No matter how hard this or it will get…I will continue to try harder and never give up”, that shows conviction and that you do have the confidence but possibly not the answer.

I always believe in “I’ll Try”. Even if I don’t know the answer the best possible next case scenario is to try to do something hard.

#4 – I COULD

Possibilities open up when you use the word “I could”. You’re not stuck in someone else’s ideas. When I say “I could change my behaviour” I consider it an option. I haven’t really stepped into the world of action and power but I am considering it. The words “I could” tell your subconscious that it can be possible (with action), I may be able to compete or attempt something and I just have to take action.

For that I love I could and feel that we should all say I could to never fear the possibility of trying.

#5 – I WANT

A mindset shift occurs when “I want” shows up. There is more of you in this word. The “should’s”, “ought’s” and “maybes” are gone when you say I want because your personal desire is coming out and commitment increases. While this is a step in the right direction, we can still get stuck in inaction when we stay at “want”: “I want to wake up earlier”, “I want to improve my program”, “I want to book more calls”.

So in order to not get stuck in inactivity you need to say “I want…. And Im willing to give up …This will help add value to what you want and show what your willing to lose to get it.

#6 – I WILL

I love “I will”! What will you start doing? When your “I will” shows up, your power shows up. Your will alone determines what you do next. When we say “I will” we are consciously telling our peers, coaches, competitors that you have mentally committed and will now provide a time and date for what you will be doing.

I’ve always believed in “I will” and the next words are try. I will try is another way of saying even if I don’t know I will attempt.

#7 – I CHOOSE

“I Choose” is one of my favorite words. Choice is power and you always have a choice. You chose confidence. You choose action. You choose expansion. You choose love. You choose success. You choose investment. You choose your attitude. You choose joy. You choose gratitude. I choose to show up as a leader and be authentic. Choice comes from a power paradigm. Choice radiates commitment. It proves that you are NOT a victim of your situation or environment (I’m not talking about tragic and abusive events).

So next time your dealt with a challenging situation before you come to a conclusion begin with “I choose” not to be afraid, scared or overwhelmed and I Choose to not give up!

#8- – I AM

Maybe the most powerful set of words you can ever say. “I am powerful”. “I am pursuing my goals and dreams”. “I am a finisher.” “I am a man/woman of my word.” “I am strong.” “I am grateful.” “I am here on earth to give.”

It is so powerful that it can also destroy. “I am a failure” or “I am not good enough” or “I am not ready” or “I am not good at making content” or “I am so stressed out”.

Positive “I am” statements will build you and negative “I am” statements will break you. When you reframe your identity as, “I am a winner” you will show up differently and committed with the belief in what is possible with consistent action.

Listen to words you say, listen to whether or not you say them a lot, listen to whether you catch yourself saying the words that lead to doubt, fear or overwhelm. Listen to the words you speak in your head and always remember that what we think, then say , we believe and often make our identify.

I believe everyone has the ability, the capability and the desire to achieve any goal they set for themselves but the negative self talk that we also do can break down, poison and cripple that way we response, react or conduct ourselves so please be mindful of what you think and then say!

Challenge yourself on where the powerless language shows up and make a commitment to using powerful language. You will see the change.

How To Balance Family & Fitness 5-6x p/wk with Sam & Neeru

By Podcast

Working out is hard work, takes time, takes dedication and requires constant effort. It’s not a seasonal sport, part-time hobby or something you can get away with just doing on the weekends. When you add kids into the mix, running a small business and juggling a Professional career that’s when the odds stack up against you and only a very few people ( let alone couples) can successfully keep it up and if so, do it for years! Today I’d like to shine the spotlight on 2 of our many successful clients, Sam & Neeru Rai, who fit that very small percentage of elite performers or what I call “high performing couples” as you don’t often hear about them. In my 26 years working as a certified Fitness & Nutrition coach and my 15 years of running PURE Motivation Fitness it still to this day brings me joy, passion and satisfaction when I see the progression and growth of couples that go from being somewhat active to full time lifestyle integration where Family & Fitness are intertwined! In today’s podcast Sam & Neeru will tell you how they first became involved in fitness, what their “ why” was and how it slowly transformed into a 5-6x week discipline or routine event in their lifestyles Im going to showcase the success, struggles and daily triumphs that these two rockstar “High Performers” balance Family / Fitness 5-6x week… That’s right I said 5-6x a week and do so like it’s nothing different than going to work or brushing their teeth! It’s become Part of their lives and their not only exemplifying the proper example for their kids but they are becoming role models to each and every Mother , Father , Entrepreneur & busy professionals that are balancing or trying hard to balance Family and Fitness and work together.

Coming from a broken home with a single mom raising him and his brother, life was hard for his family and when he found fitness it became his escape. Training begins with body types, which of the 3 are you? Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph, focus on your body type to begin with. At 21 with the help of his wrestling coach, Dimitri was able to compete in his first show and he won. From there he worked in fitness clubs, good and bad ones, mostly bad ones, he saw where they could improve and how to improve. With the guidance of a mentor, Dimitri left the corporate life, and he took a chance and went on his own and built Pure Motivation Fitness, that was 15 years ago.Dimitri discusses customizing your fitness goals to your body type and truly understand why he is going to suggest eating habits, exercise techniques, weight training to suit your body. Dimitri wants to be your coach; everyone needs a coach to make sure you are held accountable to your health and fitness goals. 3 Key principles, Mindset, Training and Nutrition last.Dimitri isn’t here to preach, he’s here to help you change your life for the better, loosing body fat adds years of extra life. It’s simply about taking bad habits and placing good habits in front of it, that is how you slowly change your day-to-day events, such as smoking. Accept, Acknowledge and Advance, 3 counts of accountability. Tim Lyons once taught Dimitri, “embrace the suck” Covid happened, and he had to embrace the suck to get over it.Dimitri shares some great insight into the medical industry and how to handle your doctor, your injuries, and avoiding pharmaceutical assistance. Here in Canada, we have the right to ask for a 2nd or 3rd and we have the right to ask for ultrasounds, x-rays and MRI’s, we need to see what the problem is so we can figure out the best course of action because a pill may not always be best option for you. Dimitri pulls out the calculator and shows you how you can calculate the potential to have a heart attack or stroke based on your current state of resting heart rate, this will open you eyes wide.

Vegan Sweet Potato Noodles With Garlic Sauce

By Nutrition
Sweet Potato

Staying the course with nutrition is often the hardest part of a healthy lifestyle change. And with nearly 80% of weight loss success is tied into proper nutrition, it’s quite possibly the most important part of the equation. One thing that makes it incredibly difficult is a lack of knowledge when it comes to recipes and the thought that it just isn’t going to taste very good. That’s why we like to provide healthy, balanced recipes once a month to help you get new food into your rotation. Healthy can be delicious and these recipes will prove it!

Here is October’s Food for Thought Recipe

Veganism has been receiving more and more attention lately as more people look to improve their health. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find recipes that completely fit. There are plenty of vegetarian recipes out there, but if you are truly going the vegan route, eliminating all products derived from animals including eggs and dairy, the list grows smaller. I recently have come across a delicious recipe that my entire family enjoyed. For those of you who are not vegans or vegetarians, you can add chopped chicken on top of the noodles for an extra source of protein. Hope you enjoy!

Sweet Potato Noodles with Garlic Sauce

Yields: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 1 medium/large sweet potato
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon raw sunflower seeds
  • Parsley, for garnish
  • Optional: Harissa

Ingredients for Sauce

  • 1/4 cup raw cashews
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk/coconut cream
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons filtered water
  • Dash of salt
  • Dash of pepper

Instructions:

1. Peel the sweet potato, and chop off both ends. Cut in half crosswise. Spiralize using a small noodle blade.

2. Heat up olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add sweet potato noodles, and toss so noodles are evenly coated in oil. Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes until noodles are soft, moving noodles around frequently.

3. While noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce. Blend ingredients together in a food processor or blender until smooth. You may have to do this a few times. Taste, and add salt as desired, as the sauce may have a slight sweetness from coconut milk.

4. When noodles are done, transfer to a bowl. Top with sunflower seeds. In the same pan on low heat, add sauce, and stir until warm, about a minute or so. Pour the sauce over the noodles. Top with parsley and harissa, if desired. Serve warm.

Healthy can be delicious if you find the right recipe! Start a rotating list of your favorites so you’re never left without a plan! If you are looking for new ways to improve your nutrition, please contact us. We’re here to help!

6 Ways To Burn Fat Long Term

6 Ways To Burn Fat Long Term

By Nutrition
6 Ways To Burn Fat Long Term

So many of us are always using the same approach to fat loss and focus on “Dieting”, which the word alone makes me cringe when I hear it because so many people miss-use the word and follow everyone else’s diet vs what works for them or whats successful with data driven proof!

The odds of you losing fat permanently with traditional low-calorie diets are stacked against you biologically, psychologically, and environmentally. It sounds scary, but the good news is you can bypass these problems if you avoid the typical diet mentality.

Thats why today, I wanted to give you my advice to Fat loss and advice that not only has helped me win numerous Natural Bodybuilding shows but which has also worked for many Fitness models, physique athletes and those who practice an athletic lifestyle for life get results so your learning from the best not your next door neighbour that saw it online or heard about it from a friend. Advice alone isn’t helpful when its not sound, data driven advice so lets begin:

1. THINK “HABIT” not “DIET”!

You achieve permanent results by adopting new habits that you can maintain for the rest of your life. These habits must include the way you eat, the way you think, and the way you move. “Good habits aren’t easy to form, but once they’re established, they’re just as hard to break as the bad ones”! If you simply remove a bad habit, it leaves a void begging to be filled by another one. The best way to get rid of undesirable habits such as drinking soda, spending hours on the couch watching TV, and thinking like a pessimist is by replacing them with new ones, rather than trying to overcome them with willpower. Initially, there’s a period where starting the new habit will feel uncomfortable. Be patient: Everything is difficult in the beginning. Accept the challenge! For a new behaviour to become entrenched in your nervous system, it could take months.

2. ALWAYS, ALWAYS MAINTAIN YOUR MUSCLE!

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is well known for saying that rule number one in making money is never lose money. It’s the same with making a body transformation. A simple strategy for permanent fat loss is never lose muscle. Muscle is your fat-burning secret weapon. Muscle is your metabolic furnace, and if your not eating enough protein to support optimal growth & recovery, not keeping track of your lean mass when you do body comps or not making sure your increasing the load you lift each workout or weekly you will fall into the trap of mistaking muscle loss for fat loss. Especially if you’re not using an up to date Bioelectrical impedance machine (we use www.Inbody.com) to assess all our members. Mistaking lean mass (muscle) loss for fat loss can ruin not only your progress but set you back weeks in longterm fat loss as your metabolism will slow down, and you will not burn as many calories at rest.

3. CUT CALORIES CONSERVATIVELY!

If we can send someone to the moon and back we know science doesn’t lie! So we all should know that you must have a calorie deficit to burn body fat, but most people cut calories much too fast. Your body can’t be forced to lose fat more quickly than nature intended; so you need slowly perform this vs all at once. The smartest, safest, and healthiest approach for permanent fat loss is to start with a small deficit, add exercise weekly, monitor your stats and body composition, then continue to cut calories if necessary as your weekly results dictate. By taking a slower approach and progressively cutting calories in stages vs. all at once you ensure you are able to gauge what’s happening internally with your lean and fat mass, you don’t cause a sudden shock in calorie deficit where your body responds by putting the breaks on and slowing down your metabolism thinking its in starvation mode, which backfires and you don’t lose energy all at once leaving you fatigued daily with no hope to continue your fat loss program.

4. BURN THE FAT DON’T STARVE THE FAT!

There’s more than one way to create a calorie deficit. You can decrease your calorie intake from food or increase the calories you burn from training and other activity. Unless you’re physically unable to exercise, a combination of both is ideal. Using exercise to maintain muscle and expand your calorie deficit has huge advantages over dieting alone. Most people are too focused on cutting calories making them grumpy, unhappy even sad vs increasing the amount of training they do, thus not reaping the metabolic, hormonal, and psychological gains training and movement have over dieting alone. Plus, you can eat more and still keep losing fat. As crazy as it might sound, the fastest way to transform your body is to eat more and burn more. You eat more to provide energy, nutrients, and building material. You burn more to stoke metabolism, build muscle, gain strength, and improve fitness.

5 USE CALORIE “CYCLING” METHOD (DON’T STAY IN DEFICIT FOREVER)

You yourself or you probably know someone that may have to feel like they’re always on a diet. Most people lose weight lose some weight in the first few weeks due to water loss or them cutting carbs all together but long-term fat loss is hard as people face plateaus that blog them from long-term fat loss. When your fat loss slows down or you hit a fat-loss plateau the first time, dropping calories is usually the right decision. But if your calories are already low and you’ve been dieting for a long time, cutting calories more can dig you into a deeper metabolic rut. It seems counterintuitive, but sometimes the best thing you can do to “reset” a sluggish metabolism is to eat more before going back to the caloric deficit again. Inserting occasional higher-calorie days between lower-calorie days is a simple technique that gives you a nice physical and psychological break from days or weeks of continuous deficit. Calculated & periodic Calorie “Cycling” eating optimizes your hormones and restokes your metabolic fire. Its often referred to as the Zig Zag method but having re-feed meals 1x week or cycling between non-workout days and workout days allows for long-term fat loss vs metabolism confusion due to long-term calorie deficits.

6. LOSE WEIGHT/FAT AT THE RIGHT RATE FOR YOU!

Most people are impatient and expect too much weight loss too fast, so it’s important to set weekly goals thoughtfully. Setting lots of short-term goals is crucial. But if you set them so high that they’re physiologically impossible to achieve in the time frame you’ve chosen, and your results fall short of your expectations, you end up disappointed, discouraged, and often quitting in the long term! Losing weight too fast can mean your losing lean mass vs fat mass and those with more body fat typically lose body fat the fastest when they start a fitness program than those who are naturally leaner with targeted areas to lose.

The best way to burn fat and keep it off for good, without losing muscle, and without making your life miserable, is to lose weight at the right rate for you. Many fitness experts recommend two pounds per week but I feel 1 lb (one) is much safer over the long run. Obviously when you start a program and have been inactive for years anything you do seems to work but once you have been exercising for years and are at an intermediate /advanced level the total weight loss per week does become harder due to your bodies ability to adapt to both exercise and nutritional stimulus. If it takes you 8 months to drop 30- 35 lbs it’s ok do it the right way and don’t worry about time frames.
