I hope you aren’t dieting!

2017-04-18T14:16:28+00:00

It seems as if everybody’s going on a diet!  Well, not quite.  But people call my office all the time asking about our “diet” program.  I don’t have one.  I have a weight loss program that is anything but a diet. There is some good news though. This past year we saw that only 20% [...]

Too Much, Too Fast

A few years ago, a father brought his teenage son into my office for a conversation.  Yehuda was in Yeshiva out of town and he was class 3 obese.  At age 16, his parents were rightfully concerned about his well-being.  If at this age he was this heavy, with a 40+ BMI, what was going [...]

Do you remember the original food pyramid? The bottom of the pyramid reflected what we should eat the most and the top was what we should eat sparingly. Do you remember the specific instructions that if we just cut the fats in our diet, we will cure cardiovascular disease?  Well, it’s time for some deprogramming. [...]

So, which is it?

2017-01-19T12:55:11+00:00

As both a wellness coach and personal trainer, one thing I am NOT trying to do is help people achieve perfection in any particular area.  What I am trying to do, is help people make improvements in their lifestyle habits in order to bring about a healthier quality of life. Getting everyone to be an [...]

The Cost of Poor Health and Obesity

The two most common excuses people give for not exercising and taking care of their general health are lack of time, and finances. In previous articles, I have addressed the time issue, but I would like to add the following: If you don’t make the time to exercise, you won’t have much time to do [...]
