Too many people think that exercise and fitness means going to a gym, getting onthe treadmill and lifting weights. While these forms of exercise do work- and I use them 4-5 times per week – they are NOT the only ways to get fit!

I always advocate DIVERSITY and TIME EFFICIENT workouts- especially if you are a BUSY DAD! Your responsibilities are endless. For example:

* Juggling career with family
* Household chores
* Home improvement projects
* Coaching the kids

The list seems endless! No wonder you feel overwhelmed by the thought of going to the gym and exercising on a regular basis! With a short yet effective workout, you will be able to work your heart and muscles to help you achieve weight loss and keep it off!

Another way I encourage dad’s to get fit is through physical activities that also serve as leisure activities! These can be done with the family, alone or with friends! The use of exercise as fun and relaxation is a great way to get two important tasks done at the same time!

I always tell my clients – think outside of the box!!

What do you love to do?

What activity brings you great happiness- so much that you are forced to smile when you think about it?

You have rock climbing, horseback riding, surfing, swimming, boating, kayaking, hiking, flying trapeze, golf and tennis. The list is endless!!!!

Maybe you like working out outside in a park during break time – feeling the morning or afternoon sun on your face! Or maybe snow shoeing in a blizzard!

These are all great ways to get fit and have FUN! You just have to follow some simple health and exercise principles I set forth for you

Are You Following the 3 “C’s” of Weight Loss Success?

There are three very important factors that MUST be present in ANY fitness plan you choose if you want to be successful in losing weight. Without the 3 “C’s” below, your attempts at health and wellness will be short lived.

1. COMMITMENT: In order to be successful at anything – you must be committed. You must make a decision on a given day that you are going to change your life, decide how you are going to change your life, understand why you want to embark on this change and go ahead and be committed to the change no matter how busy are.

Know and understand that your commitment to a healthy lifestyle- is 80% MENTAL. While you are changing your body, becoming more fit, exercising, changing the food you eat- know these are all mental changes as your mind controls your body. Without mental strength and commitment, your life change will not last.

See, I often hear clients say – “I can’t!” That is not true – what they are really saying is “I don’t want to.” And, that is fine. You don’t have to. But let’s be honest with each other and say it like it is—YOU CAN and YOU WILL once you make up your mind to do it!

2. CONSISTENCY: After you have made your commitment to your new life change- the next element that naturally follows is consistency. You must be consistent with the changes you make in your life. You must be consistent with your healthy lifestyle to see and feel improvement. Without consistency – you are failing in your commitment to your health and your new self.

This means you must follow a healthy lifestyle for a long period of time- even if you are frustrated, tired and even cranky. Forge ahead, push on, you will feel better for it.

3. CONTROL: Finally- know this- without control, you will not be successful in your life change. When I refer to control – I am talking about the self-control you need to ensure you eat good fresh foods, lean proteins, fresh fruits, fresh veggies, and whole grains whether you’re traveling, busy running around with your family and kids, or going from client to client. Even though it may be easier to buy a McDonald’s hamburger that will not help you with your weight loss efforts.

When I talk about control I am talking about the ability to say NO to things that take you away from achieving your weight loss goals. I am talking about the need to control the forces in your life to ensure you have time to sleep, rest, exercise and enjoy the basic human rights of eating, resting and exercising.

For those who don’t know if there is a relationship between your acne condition and the foods you eat, let me tell you that there is. You might have heard that oily foods cause acne, but this isn’t entirely true. Oily foods have caused internal changes including high cholesterol levels, but they don’t really have a huge impact on the skin condition. When does oil affect skin conditions such as acne? The only time oil would affect your acne condition, is when you use cosmetic products that have animal fats, oils and additives. Most of the makeup products and skin care products on the market today have oils added to them.

One thing you should begin doing is purchase herbal skin care products that contain no oils or preservative chemicals. These additional chemicals and oils will only cause harm to your skin condition. For those who have acne, it is never a good idea to use tons of makeup. Makeup may seem like a great way to hide your acne, but it surely does not make things any better. The types of food you eat will affect your overall acne condition. The following are some of the foods you should and shouldn’t limit on a daily basis, if you intend on controlling your acne.

The calcium rich fluid we all love drinking could be bad for your acne condition. Milk has been a great addition to any breakfast meal, but it could lead to your acne getting worse than it already is. Since milk originally comes from cows, there is a significant amount of fat and hormones which could cause an imbalance in your acne condition. I am not saying that you should stop drinking milk, but it would help if you could limit your daily intake. If you are someone who drinks milk several times a day, it could be a problem for your acne.

The one type of oil that is considered to be a helper in your acne condition is Omega 3 fat oils. All types of fishes have this fish oil in them, and they have been known to prevent acne and keep skin looking fresh. Whether you are cooking the fish or simply having some sushi, it is considered to be great for your skin and overall health. Apart from the acne benefits of fish, you would also be taking in some much needed proteins.

Oranges and berries are two amazing types of fruits you should eat at least once a day. When I say berries, I mean all sorts of berries; whether it is strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. Berries and oranges have high antioxidant content along with nutrients that help with skin development and acne prevention. By eating such fruits, you’ll be able to get rid of the bad skin cells, which allows for new skin development. During skin development, one thing you should do is drink lots of fluids. Water and concentrated juices are the best, as they give your body the hydration, vitamins and energy.

I hope this you can incorporate parts of this acne diet into your everyday meals, so that you can get rid of all the acne and live a young and healthy life.

Usually when we get older, it is difficult for us to keep the weight off due to changes in our lifestyle. More often than not, we are eating the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories per meal, and we’re also eating meals in the wrong patterns each day.

Many of us are starting to show the signs of our decreased metabolism in our tummies, our butts, our thighs, our hips, our arms and on and on. We try to figure up how to lose the stubborn weight and starting to spend money on the diet products.

And so we try fad diets, we count calories, we count carbs, we count fat, we starve ourselves, and many of us even use harmful drugs or supplements designed to speed up our metabolisms.

The sad fact is, after all the starving and hard effort in losing weight, our weight doesn’t change much. Forget about your earlier dieting failures for a moment. Are you ready to lose those extra pounds? Are you ready to get healthy, and learn how to stay in shape?

This diet is based on a technique called calorie shifting. Calorie shifting is a unique method which is based on alternating the types of nutrients the body receives throughout the day to confuse the metabolic rate into increasing to the maximum peak.

The system has an advance menu generator which produces a personal menu to each user, it changes and shifts the menu around each day. In other word, you have to be very diligent with your eating habit from now on. Creating a menu and sticking to it is important for calorie shifting to be successful. Snacking should be avoided at all costs. Try to eat at least four times per day and make sure you eat different amounts of calories each time. Also make sure to keep your menu fairly healthy with grains, fruits and vegetables.
The good thing is with calorie shifting program, you end up eating much of the foods you like and since the menu gets shifted constantly, you will never get bored. And more importantly your body will never get starved as you are given four meals a day.
