 Skipping Strength TrainingWomen are especially guilty of this one. Muscle tissue requires more calories to maintain than fatty tissue does. Strength training builds muscle. Therefore, if you increase the amount of lean muscle tissue, you will be able to eat more! Isn’t that beautiful? Additionally, weight-bearing exercises are critical for bone health. If you aren’t sure about form, hire a personal trainer for a session or two to get you started. Skipping Meals This one goes hand-in-hand with severe calorie restriction. Think about it – if you skip breakfast in an effort to save calories, you will be positively ravenous by lunchtime and much more likely to overeat. However, if you’ve had breakfast and a small snack, your hunger levels and blood sugar will be stable. This is why fitness professionals keep advocating smaller meals. Eating frequently throughout the day will keep both hunger and grouchiness at bay. Magic Fat-Burning Pills If you haven’t actually purchased any, I know you’ve at least picked them up in the grocery store. I know it’s tempting. I know about the little voice inside of your head that says “What if THIS ONE really works?” Trust me, I’ve been there. All I can say is: step away from the magic fat burning pills. Take comfort in knowing the magic fat burning pills are nothing but a bunch of long words strung together by a supplement company in hopes of making money. Rest assured that if there really were magic fat burning pills, we’d all look like supermodels and I’d be out of a job. Jumping on the Latest Diet I always tell my clients that anyone can drink shakes, abandon bread, eat cabbage soup, or drink a shot of pineapple juice before and after each meal for at least a couple weeks. But come on, folks – this is about a lifestyle change. We all know that diet fads are fleeting and once we stop the trend, old habits re-emerge and we’re back to square one. Weight loss requires a lifestyle change and it’s got to be doable. It’s absolutely fine to follow guidelines, but look for plans that follow a reasonable and balanced approach. If you tilt your head and say “Really?” upon reading that bananas are verboten, that ought to tell you something. _______________________________________ keeping the pounds off There is actually a silver bullet for weight loss – it’s called common sense. Does it seem odd that diet gurus are telling you to never eat another piece of bread for as long as you live? Does it seem strange that a company would promise amazing results inside of a tiny white capsule? It should. If something makes you think twice, there’s probably good reason for it. Balance and moderation – that’s it right there. And you don’t even need a book or a pill. However, if you send me $19.95, I will be happy to send you a convenient carrying case for your brand-spanking-new balance and moderation. Happy Training! |
