How to eat ALL your kids candy…and not gain a pound!!

Posted by talltrainer on October 30, 2011 at 10:37 pm

You might not believe it now but I used to be (and still fighting it) a candy fanatic. I had a paper route when I was 11 and spent a good portion of what I made on candy. Even the 4 fillings couldn’t stop my love for candy. I did finally realize it was a weakness and have had to plan around it. I never buy candy or keep it around. Ok, I do buy candy sometimes who can be a saint 24/7?

This actually brings me to the point of this article. Cheating. (aka eating all your kids candy) Cheating does sound negative and I don’t like negative words so we can call it planned diet inflamation. There is actually good evidence that Cheating (PDI) can actually help people stay on track. It could, in some cases lead to better results.

Let me explain it quickly. If you know you have a day you can go for some extra “treats” then it can make sticking to the plan on the other days more do able. On top of this, the higher calorie day can actually get your metabolism to rev up a little and help to incease resting metabolism.

Why Low Fat makes you FAT!

We see it all over the place.

Those boxes or containers and boldly on the front it says Low-Fat, or No-Fat. They boldly make the claim like they are the ultimate in healthy food. As if somehow by eating this food versus the original you will no longer have fat on your body.

Watermelon Workout

Posted by talltrainer on September 14, 2011 at 4:46 pm

To cap off summer we did a watermelon workout with our clients.

Why?…

They are heavy
It was watermelon season
We like to keep the exercise fun
We like to give whenever we can – so they got to keep their watermelon.

We got 90 watermelons from the local farm market (thanks Beacon Farm Market). Kyle and I (Jeremy) went down to pick them up with my tired ’95 s10 pick-up. I was shocked at how many they were and my truck was shocked (or nearly de-shocked) at how heavy they were.
