The Dark Side of Super Bowl Sunday
Posted by: | Comments
Whether or not you’re a football fan there is a very good chance you’ll be heading to a Super Bowl party this Sunday. And as you are fully aware, these parties can be VERY hazardous to your waistline (pictured above). But hey, it’s not hard to keep the pounds from packing on while watching (or ignoring) the Colts vs. the Saints.
Here are four Super Simple tips to keep you slim this Sunday:
1) Do some squats and pushups or take a 15 minute walk during halftime to stimulate your metabolism and improve digestion
2) Limit alcohol consumption. Not only are these “empty calories”, but they also cause you to make poor food choices. And if you’re hungover on Monday, well, you’ll make poor food choices the day after the game, too!
3) Eat a healthy meal before the party so you don’t show up starving and then make smart choices. Try to fill up on the protein, veggies, fruit and plenty of water.
4) Sure, you can enjoy some of your favorite “guilty pleasures” but you MUST avoid hanging around the snack table nibbling on everything in site.
See, it’s not so hard! Enjoy the big game.
BONUS TIP: Oftentimes when we feel hungry it is our body craving the proper nutrients it needs to be fueled with. That’s a great reason to take a Whole Foods based multi-vitamin like Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+for Women or Men. Yes, I’m a Prograde partner and I really believe in the VGF 25+ and use it.
The Eat Less / Move More Principle
Posted by: | CommentsYou say you’ve tried everything, right? Well weight loss isn’t near as complicated as people make it. To break it down in it’s simplest form is: If you burn more calories than you are taking in, you will lose weight. It’s been proven thousands and thousands of time. If you eat less (than you are now) and move more (exercise more than you are now), your body will lose weight. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to burn more calories than you are consuming and gain weight. IMPOSSIBLE!
Here’s a classic funny video that displays this principle pretty clearly.
The problem with this method is your body changes as you try to change it so you have to change your approach to be a step ahead. So how fast you lose weight, how your body actually changes/whether you become lean or not, how you feel as far as energy, whether you’re improving your overall fitness level and function in life, etc. are all dependent on more specific factors.
The main 2 factors are the type of exercise plan and nutrition plan you are on. This is where it gets more complicated and really becomes a science if you want to maximize the results you’re going to get because using the same method of attack will work for a little while but your body will catch up eventually. e.g. The amount of calories your body burns when you do a certain exercise lessens over time. So keep the Eat Less/Move More principle in mind but remember you need to change to keep your body changing.
It can be overwhelming/frustrating trying to figure all this out so one great solution is Bootcamp and we’re offering a trial right now for $1.

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #1
Posted by: | CommentsI know you know this. You know you know this. Fail to plan, plan to fail.
You can’t just HOPE you’re going to behave yourself at holiday parties. You can’t just do the same old things you’ve been doing. You can’t just miss breakfast, have a light lunch and then go to a party filled with temptation and not go a little insane on the cheese platter and dessert tray

Danger zone here. Be very careful!
- You have to plan your meals.
- You have to plan your workouts.
- You have to set your goals in stone.
You don’t want to be the person that comes out of the holidays 5 to 10 pounds heavier, do you?
If you don’t plan your strategy from preventing it, well, you can PLAN on getting some new clothes that fit your new size. This is far from doom and gloom. You can still enjoy your favorite foods at parties. You can still have a great time. But what you CAN’T do is just free-for-all it and stuff your face with everything put in front of you. You know that.
Tell you what: Plan on taking a nice 30 minutes this weekend and do some solid thinking about what your plan will be. You could even do it on a nice long walk. And when you get back home, put it on paper and commit to it. And think about how great you’ll feel about yourself when January comes after you’ve followed your plan. Oh, and be sure to reward yourself to by doing something special for yourself.
PS – Also don’t forget about the Prograde Holiday Blow Out which ends Fri., December 11th at 11:59pm EST. Everything you need to save 15% is right here: http://bodybybuck.getprograde.com/specials.html.
How Do You Stay Motivated? (Part 2)
Posted by: | CommentsGo back and read Part 1 to this post here. 5 tips on how to make a life-long commitment to being healthy and staying fit.
Here are tips 3-5…
3. Get around the right people
You need people/friends around you who will encourage you in the process, it’s hard to do alone. Get a gym partner who is motivated and has goals. Find someone who will do home workouts and hold you accountable in your diet. If the only people you spend time with are unmotivated, and roll their eyes when you order a salad instead of a cheeseburger, you are going to have to intentionally get some people around you who can help you and encourage you. I’m not saying to ditch your friends that don’t exercise, but make sure you do get around a few people who can share a common goal with you.
4. Routine!
You will most likely be successful when you create a regular exercise routine for yourself, as well as plan your meals ahead of time. Maybe that’s joining us at Bootcamp early in the morning, going to the gym the same time/days of the week, or working out at home before/after work. Get into a routine and stick with it. Read more about planning your nutrition here.
5. The Right Mindset
You’ve got to have the right mindset, if you don’t believe you can do it and don’t think like a healthy, lean person, then you will never be one. You can debate methods of fat loss/workouts all day, but if you don’t have the mindset of the person you want to be, then you’ll never change. Real, long term change comes from within. Make the decision today to become that person, and then get after it!
