3 Tips on Eating for Success!
A question was brought up today at bootcamp about how to keep track of your calories. Well first off it shouldn’t become a challenge for you. We want this process to be as simple as possible so that you see success from it. Success is you reaching your weight loss goals!
Here is a quick calculation you can use to figure out the number of calories you need approximately each day.
1. Take your Goal Weight (the weight you want to be at not current) and multiply that by 10. You find your goals weight. For example, you currently weigh 160 but you want to be 140. 140 X 10 = 1400. 1400 is the number of calories you need to eat each day if you want to lose those 20lbs.
2. Let’s take it a step further. How many calories do I need in each meal? Take 1400 and divide by 6 and you will find the number of calories you need to eat in each meal. In this example it is: 233. You will each about 6 times per day and if you eat 5 times per day then you need to divide 1400 by 5.
3. Here is a sample day as to what it might look like:
Breakfast
1 egg/2 egg white omelet w/ spinach
Oatmeal
Blackberries
Snack
Cottage cheese w/ carrot sticks
Pear
Lunch
Fish or a lean protein like Chicken or Lean Beef
Yam
Asparagus
Orange
Snack
Prograde Workout Drink
Dinner
Lean beef or chicken
Chickpeas
Green beans
Apple
Snack
Cottage cheese & strawberries
1) Your nutrition program doesn't need to be crazy.
Don’t get crazy or obsessed when starting a new eating plan.
Simple changes each day go a lot farther than you might think.
Start with eating more fruits and vegetables. Have about 8-9 servings a day.
Don’t try and go with a diet that is low-carb since these always fail to be the long term eating plan of choice.
2) By By Junk Food!
Look I know that we all have our vices and mine is Chocolate probably like many of yours. But do you really need all that junk food, chips, cookies, candy, Etc….. I didn’t think so, think of your sweets as a treat and I don’t mean an everyday treat. If you have been good 90% of the week then reward yourself.
Yes It’s That Easy!
Until Next Time

8 Tips to Ensure your Weight Loss Goals
8 Tips to Ensure your Weight Loss Goals
It’s the New Year and you’re ready to make that same resolution that you made last year and even maybe the year before. Lose Weight!
Well why is that the same resolution that keeps popping up each year? How come you haven’t hit your goal of losing weight last year? Well I have a list of tips that you need to follow and write down to make sure that you are not making the same New Year’s Resolution.
You need to set Weight Loss Goals: So how do you create weight-loss goals that will help, not hinder your weight-loss efforts? These 8 tips can get you started:
• Individualize your goals. Set goals that are within you reach and be aware of your limitations. Take into consideration your personal fitness level, health concerns, available time and motivation. If you follow this simple step you will be that more likely to hit your goals.
• Set realistic weight-loss goals. A good steady weight to lose each week is about 1-2lbs per week. To accomplish this, you need to burn or subtract 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day through a low-calorie diet and regular exercise.
• Focus on the process. Forget about the I want to lose 50lbs goal, think of this as a lifestyle change and make a goal of exercising on a regular basis and eating healthier and the weight will naturally come off.
• Short Term Goals Vs Long Term Goals. You need a short term goal that will keep you motivated throughout the course of say 3 months. This will make sure that you can reach your goal and not get discouraged. If you follow this one you will be that much closer to your long term goal.
• Put it on paper. This is such a simple tip, but people that put their goals on paper are much more likely to reach those goals. Write down everything including details of what time will you workout, where will you workout.
• Set a deadline. You need to set a start date for your new lifestyle change. There are things that hold all of us back so plan for those and settle those and make sure that you are able to start your weight loss plan and not keep putting it off.
• Life’s Obstacle’s. Life gets in the way and we all know that. We have kids, work, family, friends, etc…. Well plan for these and allow time in your plan that says it’s ok for a small setback and then make sure that you get back on track quickly.
• Reassess where you are. You need to review your progress, did you reach your goal last week, last month if not, what do you need to do to make sure you will next week or next month. You might need to adjust your goals based on what you have going on. Be willing to do this, if you’re flexible then you will stick with your first goal: Losing weight!
If you have gone at this alone and failed then don't be afraid to ask for help or find a trainer, or group atmosphere that will assist you in reaching your goals. How bad do you want it? Accountability is the key to your success.
Over 90% of people that make this one New Years Resolution of losing weight fail to hit their goal and quit. Don't quit this time!
ML Athletics has a killer 12 Week Challenge that will ensure that you reach your goals. Check it out here: http://www.mlathletics.com/

The Most Critical Part Of Your Workout
I know I stress this all the time this is just a quick reminder of how important it is……
Ok, so you're working your butt off. You're sweating. You're hustling. You're getting that exercise "high." Heck, not only are you now enjoying your workouts, but you want to learn more about how to make them more effective.
That's great!
It never ceases to amaze me how most people don't give their bodies a second thought. They think they just go to the gym...walk on the treadmill...throw some weights around...go home and eat whatever...
Seriously, the human body is the most complicated piece of machinery on the planet. Do they really think there's ZERO science behind exercise? Do they really think they can just eat whatever is in their fridge after working their butts off?
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but it drives me a little crazy when people look at fitness as nothing more than guesswork. Actually, it's a little infuriating.
Take post-workout nutrition, for example. Does it make sense that there be an OPTIMAL way to fuel your body after all the demands you make of it during your training session? Of course it does!
Bottom line: Recent studies have shown that a carbohydrate AND protein formula is more effective for rapid replenishment of muscle glycogen after exercise than a carbohydrate only supplement of equal carbohydrate or caloric content.
In other words, just drinking a "sports drink" after your workout doesn't cut it. The research indicates you need to fuel your body with just the right combo of carbs AND protein. And yes, this is hyper-critical to optimizing your efforts.
Here are two more things you need to know about getting the most bang for your workout buck:
1) As a proud Prograde Partner I'm pumped to let you know that Prograde Workout is now available on a FREE trial basis. There's just a small S & H fee.
2) On the link below you can also learn more about the research study on post-workout nutrition.
Yes, Prograde Workout recovery drink is based on this very research. It provides the right combo of protein and carbs that your body craves after a tough training session.
Just click this special link right here and find out for yourself how you can try it for FREE:

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #3
Holiday Calorie Control Tip #3 (Last Day to Save)
So far we've talked about creating a PLAN to control your calorie intake during the holidays. And part of that plan was really watching your alcohol intake because it can lead to bad eating decisions.
Now let's talk more about enjoyment. Yes, you CAN enjoy your favorite foods. But enjoy them by savoring them, not devouring them.
Chew your food slowly.
That might not seem it, but that is a BIG TIME tip.
Enjoy your favorites by taking your time eating them. That may mean finding a quiet space to eat when at a loud party. But it will be worth the little bit of extra effort.
And it's going to take about 20 minutes for your stomach to signal your brain that you are full. So take your time. Enjoy every bite with zero guilt.
Again, this might seem too simple, but it's not. It really can be this easy if you stay focused on your plan.

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #2
Yesterday we discussed how crucial it is for you to have a PLAN to control your calorie intake during the holidays. Today's tip is even more simple and expands on the premise.
Plan on staying away from the booze…..
Look, a drink or two isn't going to be the end of the world. But when two turns to three...
I'm not getting on my soap box here. I'm just telling you something you already know:
Booze leads to bad decisions.
And in this case, we're talking about bad eating decisions.
When alcohol enters the equation even the best laid plans crumble. The extra calorie’s from the cocktails is one thing. But really it's the extra calories you chew that start to add up.
One piece of cake turns to two...
A handful of chips turns into a bag...
The dip sitting in front of you mysteriously vanishes...into your belly...
You get the picture. ;-)
Have fun. Enjoy yourself. Just be conscious of what alcohol does to your decision making.
Until Next Time

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #1
Holiday Calorie Control Tip #1
I know you know this.
You know you know this.
Fail to plan, plan to fail.
You can't just HOPE you're going to behave yourself at holiday parties. You can't just do the same old things you've been doing. You can't just miss breakfast, have a light lunch and then go to a party filled with temptation and not go a little insane on the cheese platter ;-)
You have to plan your meals.
You have to plan your workouts.
You have to set your goals in stone.
You don't want to be the person that comes out of the holidays 5 to 10 pounds heavier, do you?
If you don't plan your strategy from preventing it, well, you can PLAN on getting some new clothes that fit your new size. This is far from doom and gloom. You can still enjoy your favorite foods at parties. You can still have a great time. But what you can't do is just free-for-all it and stuff your face with everything put in front of you. You know that.
Tell you what: Plan on taking a nice 30 minute walk this weekend and do some solid thinking about what your plan will be, and when you get back home, put it on paper and commit to it.
And think about how great you'll feel about yourself when January comes after you've followed your plan. Oh, and be sure to reward yourself to by doing something special for yourself.
Always treat yourself when you know you’ve been good all week!
Until Next Time
Your Fit Coach,
Mike

3 Fruits and Veggies Tips (Important)
It's recommended that we eat 6-10 fruits and vegetables a day. Here in the States it is reported the actual average of fruits and veggies eaten each day is just 2.
Yup, just 2, Now, I don't know where you stand on this, but overall, it really is a sad state of nutritional affairs.
But do not despair! It's not that tough to get more fruits and veggies in each day.
Here are some super simple tips to get you started:
1) Buy 'em pre-chopped
Look, I can be lazy, too ;-) There's nothing wrong with not wanting to go through the hassle of having to chop up fruits and veggies. If you want to buy them pre-chopped go ahead. It's much better for you than not eating them.
2) Carry 'em with you
Load up a plastic baggie with your pre-chopped veggies and bring them to work. Seriously, see how easy this can be!
3) Add real fruit to your yogurt
Have some yogurt for breakfast and add some fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries.
It's that simple!
Until Next Time!

Mike
