There is really no room in any healthy diet for trans fat, artificial sweeteners, and artificial colors in food.
Lazy doesn't exist. Lazy is a symptom of something else. The person who can't get up off their butt is just a person who's depressed. It's usually a pervasive lack of self-worth, or a feeling of helplessness.
Transformation in real life is extraordinarily incremental, and that's all I'm going to say.
I think that anything in life is about the middle ground.
People that know me know I'm very good about doing my own thing and minding my own business.
The adoption process was not an easy one. The paperwork took nine months. It's a full-time thing!
When you eat a piece of white bread, think of it as putting a tissue on a fire. But if you eat something that has wholegrains, whether it's a little bit of oatmeal, a little bit of protein, it's like putting a log on the fire.
If you have the means, I would highly recommend using supplementations for optimal health.
I change the workout every month, so you never adapt and never plateau.
People believe practice makes perfect, but it doesn't. If you're making a tremendous amount of mistakes, all you're doing is deeply ingraining the same mistakes.

Whenever you have a failure or setback, you need to take a step back and find out what you can learn from the scenario. What did you do to contribute to that failure? This way, you can make sure you don't repeat that pattern.
If you don't learn from why you're in the position you're in, you are doomed to repeat it. You need to bring meaning to every setback.
Parenting is not for sissies. You have to sacrifice and grow up.
Think of it this way: If you got a flat tire, what would you do? Change the tire? Or get out of the car and slash the other three tires? No! Get back on the road. Don't dwell on it; don't beat yourself up. That gets you nowhere.
I will teach people not only how to identify their goals and dreams, but subsequently give them the tools to make those dreams a reality.
I was an overweight kid, and my father struggled with his weight, too. We would go for a ride on his motorcycle on Sunday morning to get doughnuts, to make pizza together, or go get ice cream. I quickly learned that food equalled love and attention.
I supplement a lot. So I'll take a probiotic, and I mostly eat green food.
You can be predisposed genetically, but it's not a sentence. I'm genetically predisposed, but I manage my weight. The root of obesity, though, is usually emotional. The poor habits are a symptom of a deeper emotional issue.
I've always believed fitness is an entry point to help you build that happier, healthier life. When your health is strong, you're capable of taking risks. You'll feel more confident to ask for the promotion. You'll have more energy to be a better mom. You'll feel more deserving of love.
