Wednesday, April 27th, 2011What’s the scoop on eggs and dieting?
Wednesday, April 27th, 2011The American Heart Association has lifted the restriction of eggs in your diet . Of course, you can’t go wild and eat a wazoo of eggs! However, eggs supply protein, vitamins and 1.5 grams of saturated fat. A study recently compared a breakfast of carbohydrates to a breakfast of eggs and found that the egg eaters ate 400 less calories during that 24 hour period.

You will gain weight with snacks.
Thursday, April 21st, 2011Once you start a “snack program” your brain and stomach get trained to expect that snack and when you don’t deliver, they let you know about it. You will pig out at the first opportunity. There goes a few more pounds!
Don’t get trapped in the snack trap to lose weight.
Thursday, April 21st, 2011Some people think to lose weight you have to snack. Think about that for a minute! If you come here and lose down to your desired weight and then begin snacking to ” control” your sugar level are you in for a surprise. Adding snacks with our program is redundant and you will gain weight. Come see how just 140 calories added to your diet daily will add pounds to your weight. Adding snacks is not a good idea.

What happens after crash dieting?
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Most people after crash dieting so they can be in a wedding or go to the beach have a rebound. You might call it binging. The end result is gaining all the weight back and then some. You know, you’ve probably done it. We have a better plan.
Crash dieting can cause nutritional problems.
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011Severe restrictions in food intake can cause deficiencies in nutrition. Starving or near starving sends your body into a survival mode where it burns muscle and saves fat. That is detrimental to your effort at weight loss. We exploit muscle building and preservation while burning fat. That makes sense to me. How about you?
Crash dieting makes little sense in the long run.
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011Generally people gain more weight after crash dieting and we do not recommend that kind of diet. Being placed on prepacked and pre measured foods sets people up for for a rebound weight gain most of the time. We let you buy your own food at the local stores because we teach you proper nutrition.
