Negative weight loss mentalities: those voices inside your head – the good vs evil, the daily battle that rages in us all, the weight loss mentalities that hold us back – can be a swift kick to the gut! Between your ears is where the weight loss battle begins.
This year, stop being your own worst weight loss enemy and drop these weight loss mentalities.
The holidays are one of the most wonderful times of the year, but the whole fun of them has helped you pack on a few pounds. As the holiday season is nearing its end, don’t look any further than your kitchen for weight loss inspiration. Your kitchen – the same place responsible for the awesome foods you have eaten over the last few days – has enough to ensure that you burn fat and also satiate your taste buds while holidaying. Just take a gander at the list of fat-burning foods below and start including them in your daily diet.
First of all – where did the year go? Let’s get serious about this upcoming year! No more quitting before reaching your goals. No more quitting when it gets hard. No more giving up on your dreams!
This is a new year. This is a new opportunity for a brand new you. This is the year where you get healthy – physically and mentally. Here are 10 must-make resolutions for this New Year!
When it comes to holiday weight loss the best thing you can do is be realistic! While it’s great to be ambitious, you may have the cards stacked against you this holiday. For instance, I’m sure the average person goes to 3-4 family/work get-togethers (and that is low-balling it).
Think of all the foods, the pies, the cakes, the amazing casseroles – now times that by 4!
Getting healthy and losing weight isn’t rocket science, but damn it can be hard! It’s all about doing the appropriate tasks over and over until they become a habit! There are no all-encompassing weight loss secrets – it is a series of steps and progressions!
When it comes to losing weight, it all starts at home…where you spend the majority of your free time. It’s all about consistency and sustainable practices; NOT right-now-at-this-minute results (although that would be nice)! What’s the point of losing 5 pounds because you didn’t eat all week (talk about miserable), to gain 10 the next week because you let yourself go? Sounds terrible and bloating actually….
As you know, exercise is an effective way to stay healthy. In fact, in many cases, the doctor will actually prescribe exercise to combat health-related issues!
This is because exercise helps regulate blood circulation within the body and contributes towards overall well-being.
There are numerous varieties of morning exercises out there. Some are aimed at weight loss, some for building muscle, some for strengthening muscles and bones, and some for just staying healthy.
When I get asked how to build muscle, I have always liked the caveman approach to building muscle for its simplicity and because it is pretty damn spot-on. It goes something like this: “Eat more and lift bigger rocks!”
We aren’t talking about getting bigger than Hulk Hogan or more “swoled” than a brat on the grill we are talking about adding that first 10-15 pounds of muscle (and where you go from there is up to you)! Gaining muscle can be extremely hard for men and women alike. Many people blame genetics (which can be an influence) but with hard work and the proper plan you can still get the results you want; it just may take a little longer.
We all know that we need proper exercise to stay healthy. But is that enough?
Research has shown that there is more that we need to concentrate on as well. For instance, we also need to adhere to a good nutrition plan. Although exercise is huge, the effectiveness of the workout can be determined by what we eat before and after. Let’s take a look at a few healthy foods that can be consumed before and after a great workout.
Are you trying to lose 40 pounds or some other significant amount of weight but think it is impossible? Let’s get cliché for a second: nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it, work hard, and give it time. Follow these 6 principles and you will be able to accomplish your goals!
We all want our metabolism hitting on all cylinders like a calorie-devouring internal fire! That being said, it really doesn’t take rocket science to figure out how to speed up your metabolism (like thermogenic foods). Follow these simple steps below to increase your metabolism to new incredible heights!
