Exercise…you might as well learn to like it

I can remember being a kid and my mom telling me to eat my veggies. I didn’t like them, but had to eat them anyway. She told me that I might as well “learn to like them” since I have to eat them anyway. As a child, you will do anything to get out of eating something you don’t like, but also you tend to find creative ways to “wash them down.”

Working out is no different. Many people just don’t like to do it, even though they know they should and more so, know they have to. So, what is a person to do? Learn to like it!

Here are some quick tips to make your training regiments more fun, so they don’t seem so bad. Read more

Fighting the Urge – How to Avoid the Binge

We’ve all been there. It is about 7:00pm and you finished dinner 20-30 minutes ago. You ate exactly what you planned. You’re not hungry but you could eat. You’re standing in the kitchen and you get that urge.

“Hmmm…there’s some chocolate covered pretzels in the cupboard…those are good….one wouldn’t hurt right?”

“Okay…I’ll have one.”

Chocolate covered pretzels – gone (all of them).

On to the cornbread

“oh…we have cornbread and spreadable butter, nice”

Cornbread – gone.

“Wait! Why did I just do that! I wasn’t hungry? It was like I was just watching my body devour foods that are banned and I couldn’t do anything about it.”

“Crap. I blew my diet. It wasn’t even like I was hungry…ugh!”

So has that ever happened to you? You don’t have to announce it on the forum or anything. Here’s the good news – almost everyone I have ever worked with has these moments. It might not be chocolate covered pretzels or cornbread as everyone has their triggers – the scenario is always the same.

Are you doomed to this fate of the mindless binge? No.

Here’s the deal. It is mental, NOT physiological. Here are the three simple steps you can make to binge proof your life.

1. Recognize The Urge - It is important to recognize when you have the urge to eat the ‘bad stuff’ so that you can act before you are sucked in. If walking around your kitchen 20 minutes after dinner is a trigger then don’t do it. After you eat, schedule some time to do something that will get you away from the kitchen – a walk, something with your kids, mow the lawn, play some Nintendo Wii – do what you need to do to break the rhythm before you start to get the urge.

2. Get The Stuff Out Of Your House – This is my option of choice. Remove the foods that you cheat on from your house. This one is easy. Everyone has foods that are their major vices – you know the food you really miss when dieting. For me it is bread. Fortunately for me, my wife Emily has an allergy to wheat so we don’t normally keep bread in the house. But I know that then I’m dieting I can’t have bread in the house as I’ll be tempted (very tempted) to eat it. What is your nutritional vice? Get it out of the house. When you have a scheduled ‘free meal’ if you want have that food – go to the store and get it. If it isn’t in your house then you can’t eat it. Right?

3. Take A Time Out – This is similar to number one; except this is for cases when you don’t act before the urge comes upon you. Once you recognize the urge it is important to remove yourself from the situation – leave the room, go on a walk, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. You can even count to 10 (or 11, however long it takes). As I mentioned at the beginning of the article the ‘cheat urge’ is mental and not physiological. Distracting yourself will help bide you time so the urge can pass.

Okay so now you are armed with tools to fight the urge, beat the binge, and keep yourself on track to lose fat faster.

Remember, the worse case scenario is that you do eat some junk. It happens. Vow to do better and start fresh your next meal. Getting back on track is the most important thing that you can do.

3 Fats for More Fat Loss

When looking to lose weight traditionally advice has been to cut out fats as they are the most calorie dense. I can remember when I was younger (and had NO IDEA what I was doing), I would try to eat as little fat as possible – If you aren’t eating fat then you won’t get fat right? WRONG. I can even remember one occasion being so satisfied with myself as I managed to eat only 15 grams of at the entire day! Fortunately that was a long time ago and I have uncovered much better and more effective ways to lose weight (FYI the ‘zero fat diet’ is not effective – just dumb). Read more
