80% / 20%

No excuses...food is the problem in your weight loss regimen....YES you have to exercise...don't shutter at that word either...exercise can be hiking your favorite path while meditating, or speed walking with a friend through your neighborhood while catching up on the news....the point here is MOVE!! But in all that moving....DON'T waste that exercise on BAD NUTRITION!!

80% of your weight loss is going to come down to the food you are consuming. If you don't address that, you will not lose the weight....repeat NOT lose weight. Sucks right? But seriously, I don't want to waste my time, do you?? Fitting exercise in a busy day is difficult enough, WHY sabotage that progress by overeating??

SO HERE'S THE DEAL.......
You CAN EAT YOURSELF THIN....yep it's true!!! Let's get real here...did you gain the weight by eating good for you foods, watching your portions and serving sizes, sugar and carbs? NOPE you didn't. You ate in a way that caused you to gain weight. SO guess what...you can eat in a way to make yourself thin, too!!

Don't play coy, you know what's good for you and what's bad for you when it comes to food.
Sugar, processed carbs avoid them! Start with swaps like lean proteins, high fiber meals ( veggies, fruit, multigrains) Bring down your large meals by practicing serving size/ portion control. AND eat 5 times a day, that is 3 meals, 2 snacks that are spread 2-3 hrs apart to rev that metabolism.

Stop sabotaging your exercise and weight loss with bad nutrition and poor choices with food. If you don't address the food as you do the exercise, with great gusto....then you will be forever stuck in a pattern of gain, lose, gain, lose. It's time to get real and accept the fact that the KEY to your weight loss is indeed FOOD.

DON'T BE afraid to ask for help and guidance....
