Exercise is definitely a strong factor in becoming physically fit however, what a person eats has a tremendous effect on the outcome of one’s body. Therefore, we have to keep it real and make it a priority to add in a clean eating plan to any exercise regiment. Yes, easier said than done, but that’s life and a choice that has to be made. In order to see a change for the better in your body, you have to pay attention to your choices of foods.

I help our clients with their meals and place them on a sensible clean eating plan that is realistic with reasonable choices. However, it is up to the client to have a sense of responsibility when it comes to their food choices. I will provide you with a list of clean foods and a menu that will fit your life style and if need be, I will come to your home and help you clean out your refrigerator!

We’ve all tried the fad diets, yo-yo dieting and diets pills and to some degree this will be a quick fix, eventually you will have to make better food choices and be sensible. Successful weight loss and healthy weight management depends on sensible goals and realistic expectations. Setting realistic goals gives you a better chance at sticking with your diet and maintaining your healthy weight. The average American diet is missing many essential nutrients, therefore while eating a cleaner diet, we recommend you take a nutritional supplement such as a multi vitamin. Think before you eat, ask yourself if you’re really hungry, bored, angry, depressed or just eating out of habit. Take in fewer calories. According to the American Dietetic Association, you’ll need to lower the calories you take in and increase your physical activity if you want to lose weight. Eat plenty of veggies, fruits and grain products, as well as lean meat and poultry.

Eat a wide variety of foods; you will stay better motivated if your meal selections are varied. Slow down while eating by eating more slowly and spread your meals into smaller courses allows more time for what you have eaten to register in your brain, you will feel fuller and eat less.

Last but not least, get support. It’s easier to lose weight and maintain weight loss if you have the support of family, friends or a personal trainer!
