Starbucks...Trimming the "Fat" |
| 1/29/2009 7:03:28 AM |
I am reminded of a story a client of mine once told me...
Originally from Michigan, he picked up and move to Seattle to attend college at The University of Washington in the 70's. His father was a successful professor and businessman and had made many wise stock investments - IBM, McDonalds, WalMart, etc...all did very well in the 80's. One day he called his father and...

Calorie Counts on Fast Food Menus - Will it Really Help? |
| 11/11/2008 1:19:50 PM |
Yum Brands Inc (parent company of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, A&W, and Long John Silvers) announced they will be voluntarily adding calorie counts on all of their menus in their company owned stores. The goal is to have it in all stores, but that will be left to individual owners.
Okay, fine...I applaud the effort, but I am not sure if it matters.
Take a look at the... Read More |

The Holiday Pounds Start With Halloween - Beware! |
| 10/27/2008 10:42:47 PM |
We all think of the "Holiday Season" beginning right after Thanksgiving and traditionally that is probably true...but when it comes to talking about the average 15 pounds people gain over the holidays - it starts this week with Halloween!
Think about it: your kids bring home dozens upon dozens of candy bars, sugar sticks, and taffy just waiting for consumption.... Read More |

"WHY" is America getting fatter? |
| 7/21/2008 10:12:18 PM |
There are hundreds of large gyms in all major markets.
Personal training is at an all-time high, and is a part of main-stream society.
There are hundreds, thousands of online workouts and diet regimens.
Senior citizens joining gyms and engaging in exercise programs are at an all time high.
So why is America getting fatter? It is a fact - more Americans are considered obese than... Read More |

Will Broccoli Make You Fat...? |
| 6/30/2008 9:31:20 PM |
| I read an article the other day "6 Worst Swimsuit Foods" - while it had some fairly valid foods (chili, potato salad, margaritas) but it also included - broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and Ceasar salad. Come on! How about Frappucinos, anything from McDonalds, cream cheese bagels, and ice cream. Those foods make you look bad at the pool. They were trying... Read More |

Lipo-Dissolve...An Economical Alternative To Liposuction. |
| 6/24/2008 5:52:20 PM |
| There is a new cream on the market, available through trainers, that actually dissolves fat! MesUnique (Lipo-Dissolve) is a revolutionary new cream, and I have seen its effects first-hand! It is not a miracle cream. It does not get rid of fat if you don't help it get rid of fat - you must follow a fitness training program and concentrate on your meal planning. May sound... Read More |

Make Better Diet Choices...Even at McDonalds! |
| 6/21/2008 6:25:54 PM |
| I was driving my son around the other day, running errands and I suddenly realized we hadn't eaten for at least 4 hours. Now for some that may not be an issue, but if I don't eat every 3 hours I get very hungry! Needless to say, he was hungry too, and before I can even make a suggestion as to where we should go - we drive by a McDonalds!!! Have you ever been by a... Read More |

Don't Believe The Myth About Carbs! |
| 6/3/2008 9:47:10 PM |
Carbs get such a bad rap, and the truth is most of your diet should consist of carbs! Starting with the Atkins revolution all the way up until just hearing it today - "I have to cut back on my carbs"
Wrong! Get carbs in your diet. As a matter of fact get about 40-50% of your diet through carbs. If you are active (which I hope you are!), your exercise is fueled... Read More |

The Problem With Most of The Popular Diets |
| 5/27/2008 9:37:55 PM |
| Many of the so-called diets that get most of the press out there is that they are too expensive to fit in the average persons lifestyle. They can be done for a time frame, but they never really teach how to eat and do meal planning on your own! Take a person who just needs to lose 30 pounds...should take about 2 1/2 to 3 months on a good diet combined with a regular... Read More |

Starbucks - Lighter on Calories, But Still Not The Pocketbook! |
| 4/14/2008 8:59:48 PM |
| So Starbucks is jumping on the Low-Cal bandwagon and will be rolling out "lighter" versions of their lattes and mochas over the course of this year. They now have Skinny lattes and mochas, 90 caloriesbecause they're made with non-fat milk, sugar-free syrup and no whip! That is wonderful, but those who are health conscious, those who have fitness training routines... Read More |

Health magagzine recently put out their 10 Healthiest Place To Eat. I took a look at... Read More |

Buddy Up For Weight Loss! |
| 4/9/2008 9:55:52 PM |
| A recent study of 2000 women showed that people (women in this case) are more likely to succeed on a weight loss program if they are doing it with someone else. I don't think this is a big surprise, right? I have always said if you start a fitness training routine or a meal planning program you should tell 10 people about it...the more you tell, the more you are... Read More |

Blog Series: Meal Planning Mistakes Part III - "Don't Limit Your Carbs!" |
| 3/12/2008 9:47:56 PM |
Carbs get a bad rap, plain and simple. People think carbs are bad and they try to avoid them. While certain carbs should be avoided, the majority of your calories need to come from carbs in your meal planning. Carbs should comprise about 40% of your calories - give or take.
Your fitness training routine is fueled by carbs. Without them, your fitness training plan will... Read More |
