Why do you want to lose weight?

 

I don’t care what you weigh and I’m the personal trainer that tells you that the first day you come workout with me

There are a few different types of weight on your body

  • hair
  • shoes
  • clothes
  • water
  • food
  • muscle
  • fat

 

Most people going to the gym go to lose weight, but its not about what you weigh

When we workout we want to burn fat and build muscle.  Muscle has weight too

Ever hear somebody say “Muscle weighs more than fat?”

They are WRONG – 5lbs of muscle weighs 5lbs, 5lbs of Fat weighs 5lbs right?

We want to increase our weight in muscle bc when we workout our muscle burns fat, the more muscle we have the more fat we burn when we workout

So why do you want to lose weight?

Weight gain stress from a 15yr old

Don’t believe everything you see in workout/ fashion magazines

Real weight loss is Fat, not mass

Another 10 Day Food Challenge is coming to an end, and we will be measuring out to track progress.  I didn’t make the challenge up to be about losing weight, I made it to help people be more accountable & thoughtful about how they are eating to nourish thier body, as a result you WILL lose weight and inches compared to what you were doing before & it works!!

Average person will drop 3lbs.-5lbs. of mass in 10 days and lose 2″-4″ in the Abs & hips – that’s a significant difference for any body

Weight loss can be defined as MASS – mass can be divided up into water, fat, muscle, skin, hair, clothes, shoes, pants, so on and so on.   Losing the weight is easy if yo take off shoes, or starve yourself for a week, but losing FAT weight takes a little more effort

A 10 Day Food Challenge isn’t a cure all and the answer to all the weight problems but a way to get you focused and doing the little things that add up to real fat loss

What inquiring minds want to know about getting toned

Here is a list of hits I’ve gotten on my website up to this year and what topic people are coming to read about

I think this is great because I believe most people do not train or eat correctly for their body type and therefore they get frustrated and go on to just accept the fact they are overweight and give up doing anything about it

They quit the “healthy bandwagon”

GT Food Challenge: Day 3

Today is my 3rd day of the challenge. I believe in 3’s.

It takes about 3 days of tracking daily caloric intake to get a good idea of what exactly it is that you eat.

My break down of nutrients looks like this so far

20120524-120554.jpg

Three days is ample amount of time to see a significant amount of water retention lost after 72 hrs (3 days) of eating less carbs. On the third day this week we have 4 people -15lbs total (-3.75 a person) that’s a good sign of things to come

3 words I want to end with

Commitment
Consistency
Courage

That is how you get results in fat loss and in LIFE!!!

What changes have you seen in 3 days of the challenge?
