Using your Intuition

2017-01-19T15:05:38+00:00

The definition of intuition is a phenomenon of the mind, describing the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason.  Sometimes a coach or psychologist might have a “hunch” about something, not necessarily based on absolute fact, and he or she will follow that intuition and many times, this allows the professional [...]

Understanding What Food Packaging Says

2017-01-22T12:43:46+00:00

There is hardly a week that passes that my dieticians and I don’t hear about how healthy someone thinks he is eating.  After all, he’ll tell us, I am careful to buy products with no harmful ingredients.  Or, we hear about how someone eats low salt, low sugar, no additives, etc.  The problem is, he [...]

Food for Thought

2017-01-23T11:38:09+00:00

A recent study caught my attention.  The study evaluated how people in the United States are doing in regard to making improvements in their dietary habits.  And improvements there are, however we still have a ways to go.  Scientists looked at data over an 11 year period starting in 1999 and finishing in 2010.  They [...]

It’s also how you eat!

Quite often, people call who inquire about my weight loss programs insisting that they eat healthy and just can’t figure out why they can’t lose weight.  Much of the time, people who eat “healthy” don’t really know what healthy eating entails, and we have to make corrections in their overall diet. Other times, they are truly [...]

Strike up the Band?

2014-06-16T13:54:38+00:00

In all of my years as a personal trainer and my involvement in the weight loss industry, I think that the single most frequently asked question today isn’t “What piece of exercise equipment should I buy”?...and this was definitely THE question for many years.  But lately, it is much more the question, “What do you [...]
