Exercise like you always Eat, Eat like you never Exercise

When you begin exercising and becoming healthy you may notice that you're hungry more often. This is because you're building muscle tissue as well as burning calories more rapidly throughout the day, so your system assumes this means that you need to take in more calories. Not so. In actuality you want to, if you're trying to lose weight, consume less calories and exercise more. As long as you know why you're craving consumption more often you'll in tern be able to understand that craving and know that it's completely normal and not to give in.

Like I always say; eat more fiber early in the day and past about 4pm stick with lean meats and veggies. The fiber will help you curve any cravings. Also, keep hydrated!!

"Quick & Easy"

The most popular excuse as to why we eat so unhealthy is "Because they're quick and easy". I hear in my business all the time. The question is, is it really quicker and easier to always guess what you're going to eat, drive to get it, spend extra money, come back and eat it, and then feel guilty for the rest of the day about what you ate creating added stress??

If you pre-pack for the week or even the day with fresh and nutritious options from your grocery store, then you're erasing the wonder, stress, and guilt caused by the "fast food" that we put so much effort in excusing. Having apples, grapes, bananas, oranges, grapefruit, celery, clean (little ingredients) peanut butter, raw nuts, carrots, etc. available at your desk or home throughout the day will help you from going out and getting a "quick" treat because you've already got nutrients at hand. Making a whole wheat sandwich, grilled chicken/fish salad, pita & hummus, Mediterranean salads, etc. for your day prior to that day will keep you skinny, healthy, happy and stress free without the excuses!

Big Muscle Little Muscle

Finding the correct anaerobic routine can be tricky. To get the most out of your weight exercise, work the big muscle first and then move to the little muscle. For example, if you're going to work on your chest area then do chest exercises (chest press, bench press, push ups) first, then move to tricep exercises (skull crushers, body dips, overhead tricep extentions). If it's your back that you want to work on, do back exercises first (lat pull downs, lat raises, seated rows) then bicep exercises second (bicep curls, pull ups, forward rows).
