Learning to eat the right foods, at the right time is crucial to your success in changing your bodies composition. As a trainer one of the most common herd questions is "how do a lose weight the fastest." I hate this question! My goal as a trainer is for my clients to lose weight in a healthy manner, and keep the weight off. Their is no shortcut, magic pill, or shake that will take the weight off. Fat loss is a gradual process. The reason I don't believe in meal replacements and restrictive diet plans is that they are not sustainable. Sure if you go on a really low calorie / carb diet, the scale will drop faster, but so will your energy levels. Once you stop the diet, all the weight you have lost comes right back, and you are where you started. These restrictive diets will also reek havoc on your metabolism.


  A healthy way to lose body fat, and keep it off, is fueling your body with real natural food. You want to eat four to six smaller meals throughout the day. The reason for this is to increase your metabolism and provide your body with the energy it needs to get thru the day. I m definitely not talking about McDonald four times a day. Eating fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, wild caught fish, organic beef and poultry. The reason obesity has become such an epidemic in America is because most of our food supply is loaded with chemicals and preservatives. If you cut out added sugar, GMOs, and highly processed food, you will be amazed with how your energy levels change. Eating smaller more frequent meals also helps prevent you from overeating. A very common occurrence is people who don't eat enough during the day, then completely stuff themselves when they do have a meal. This is very tough on the digestive system. Your body can only absorb so many nutrients at one time. Anything that's not used will be stored for energy as fat. Understanding how the body works is important step to reaching your goal. So avoid all the miracle supplements and gimmicks out there. Just focus on eating real food!
