There’s an old saying; “If you don’t know where you are going, all roads lead there (nowhere!)” I speak to many people who want to reduce their wait and the first thing I ask them is “how much do you want to reduce your weight by?” The usual answer I get back is something along the lines of; “Oh I don’t know, I am just getting rid of my excess weight” or “I’m just trying to lose a bit” In fact I would estimate that 95% of the people I speak to do not know exactly how much they want to reduce their weight by! When you couple this with the fact that 95% of people who want to reduce their weight never succeed you start to see a bigger picture. I would also say that a large amount of those people also do not know how much they weigh in the first place, how can you know if you are succeeding if you don’t know where you started from and where you want to go? The simple answer is YOU CAN’T! The title of this article is “The Roadmap to Success” so let me carry on with that metaphor. If you are going on a journey and you needed to get to a specific place that you had never been before would you just set off and hope for the best? No of course you wouldn’t. You would want to know where you are setting off from, how far it is, what the route is, do you need to stop on the way, do you need a car or boat, do you need to catch a plane, what time do you need to leave, how long will it take you, and so on and so on. You may use an atlas or print a map off of the internet, you may phone the place that you are going so they can give you directions or ask someone that has been there before. Can you hear what I am saying? Do you see where I am going with this? If you can plan a journey with this much detail so that you get to where you want to be what is stopping you from planning your ‘weight reduction journey’ like this and giving yourself the best chance of getting to where you want to be? The answer might be that you don’t really know where to start; well I am here to help you. Below is a 7 point guide to planning your “Roadmap to Success” use it to ensure you give yourself the best possible chance of reaching your destination. 1. Find out where you are now! That’s right it means weighing yourself. I know that people who are overweight generally do not like weighing themselves; I have been there and know the feeling. Trust me when I say that this is an essential part of the journey. Just do it. 2. Decide on your final outcome! Work out for yourself what weight you want to reach. You can do this however you want, make sure it is achievable and that it is a healthy weight for you to be at. You now know how much you have to reduce your weight by. 3. Decide on a timeframe! Consider how long it will take you to reduce your weight by that much and set a deadline of when you want to reach your outcome. Again make it achievable – there is no point wanting to reduce your weight by 4 stones (56 pounds) in a week. 4. Split the timeframe down! Set some smaller goals, if you have given yourself a year for example split it down in to monthly goals to be achieved. 5. Who/what is going to help you? Everyone needs help, it’s that simple. Maybe you can get advice from an expert or buy a book or ebook. Which friends and/or family can you count on for undying support? Speak to them, tell them your goal and ask them for their help and support. 6. Get started and don’t stop! Sorry if that sounds simple but I hear so many people say “I will start next week” or “I am just having a day off, I will get back on it tomorrow” It is a hard truth that you cannot afford to stop every now and again or have a ‘day off’ There is no better time to start than right now and no better time to stop than when you succeed. 7. Finally, get ready to celebrate! One key thing that people miss out on when achieving something is the celebration. Celebrating tells your nervous system that this is good and I want more of it. So celebrate in a small way when you achieve your short term goals then plan a huge celebration for when you reach your ultimate outcome. Ask yourself ‘What is my ultimate prize for succeeding?” then right down a whole list of things and choose the ultimate that you promise to give yourself once you have reached your final outcome. So by now you should have your journey planned, now get started, enjoy the journey and reach your destination. You have my very best wishes. Graham Nicholls

One of my greatest problems with the control of my weight is the fact that so much self disipline is needed to achieve any tangible results. Ah, but I hear you saying, “Whats new about that” We all have that problem! Tell us something new! Well yes we do all know that that is the biggest problem is it not. Lets face it, eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and we would be pretty abnormal if this was otherwise. After all, most of us are “regular” people. How many of us stick to the perfect diet all the time, we all have our struggles with food to a greater or lesser extent. If we can recognize an awareness of this problem, and also make a point of knowing a little bit about our health, and also proper food nutrition, we are then much more likely to make wiser decisions about our choices of food. Many people struggle with food “cravings,” and reasearch tells us that it is fairly common for food “cravings” to occur at certain times, quite often around bedtime. Your guard may be down, or you may have had an unusually hard day, and off you go on your not-so-merry way, intent on finding that tasty treat. Fatigue and stress often combine to take their toll on the best of intentions, so please don’t worry about it, rest assured you are not alone. When food “cravings” are out of control, what started out as a bedtime snack, quickly turns into a full blown feeding frenzy…not something most of us fully understand or appreciate. We head to the kitchen and every other possible place where food can hide, quickly clearing a path as we go. Most food cravings are not about satisfying a nutritional need or imbalance. They seem to be more emotionally related, or God forbid, are caused by plain old gluttony. Exactly why we over-indulge is not completely understood, however our knowledge about this subject continues to grow. These Are Some Of My Thoughts On How To Control Food Cravings. If the food isn’t available, you can’t eat it. Empty the cookie jar and keep it that way! Keep healthy food choices on-hand. It is important to recognize the feelings and emotions that will lead to a food craving. Do you have food cravings when you’re bored, or maybe you are feeling lonely, or is it stress that is the trigger. If you can identify the trigger which leads to that craving, then you are half way to winning the battle, because you will be able to deal with the emotion that is making you desire a certain food. Sometimes, even recognizing that a craving is about to happen doesn’t seem to help, but please do not give yourself a hard time about it, what is done is done, do not feel guilty because after all there is always tomorrow. Why not call one of your friends and share how you were feeling at that time, because it is a very good idea to make good use of your support network. Self-control and discipline by themselves will not cut it! If you depend totally on yourself for control, you will fail. Forming caring and supportive relationships is really essential, so if you do not currently have a support network, start building one TODAY. Get enough sleep. When you are feeling really tired, you are more likely to crave things, and with me personally, it is usually chocolate, possibly you are the same. Never give up. When you go off the rails, do not despair, get a grip, do whatever is necessary to re-gain control, because you really must get that control back. Try to practice restraint most of the time, but do not get obsessed and un-balanced in your weight loss approach. Think moderation and not total abstinence at all times! Exercise. This will increase the feel good endorphins that will help cut down on your cravings. Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. I hear so many people say that they just cannot fit in any excerise, believe me you can, we are talking about 30 minutes here, at the worst, it will mean you will have to get out of bed that bit earlier. An early morning brisk walk will do wonders for the spirit and the soul, and will help set you up for the rest of the day! Use moderation. Instead of stuffing yourself with every kind of food hoping that your cravings will disappear, eat 100 to 200 calories of whatever it is that you happen to be craving for at at that particular moment in time, but you must stop it at that! Substitute with low-fat foods and complex carbs. If you’re hungry for chocolate, eat non-fat chocolate yogurt or mousse, or try fig bars or raisins for a sweet craving instead. You will be amazed at how this will help. You must try and never skip a meal. It is much wiser to eat something if even only an apple, every three to five hours. Try six smaller meals, or regular meals with nutritious snacks in between. Try and remember that hunger cravings are very frequently stress related. Practice other ways to cope with stress, a walk in the park for example, spiritual connections, a cozy fireplace, or even take a bath. You see, all of these stimulate neurochemicals that activate regions of the brain which increases a feeling of well being. Relaxation techniques really can be beneficial in reducing the levels of stress which you may be experiencing. So the bottom line is to try and substitute pleasurable experiences for comfort foods. Beware of certain medications which can stimulate your appetite. Certain drugs which are used for the treatment of depression and bipolar disorder can be appetite stimulants. Other drugs, both prescription and over the counter, may influence appetite as well. If you are on a medication and troubled by food cravings, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist. You may well be able to find an alternative that doesn’t send your food cravings out of control. Distract yourself. What’s that old expression…idle hands are the devils workshop, so get busy! Do anything other than give in to your desire for food, and keep doing it until the cravings subside. One final thought for you. Take a look inside your refrigerator and kitchen cabinets and do some general “house cleaning.” Throw-out all that unhealthy stuff that is waiting to sabotage your diet, and start shopping more wisely. A little forethought and careful planning will go a long way for improving your chances of success. One of my golden rules is that I NEVER go shopping when I am hungry! Absolutely fatal! So to conclude, remember that control is the key, eat healthily and in moderation at all times, but do not forget that at the end of the day you are only human. If you do give in to temptation, don’t beat yourself up about it, tomorrow is another day, live long, enjoy your life, and most of all be happy!

I got so caught up in this year’s fitness goals that I completely forgot about something that I usually brace myself for this time of year. But no sooner had I stepped into my gym a week or two ago than I was sharply reminded of it. Reminded of what?, you may ask. The New Year’s Resolution crowd. They come every year like snowbirds to Florida; they’re so predictable, that I can literally set my watch by them at the stroke of midnight each New Year’s Eve. And they’re so easy to tell from everyone else, too. They show up in January in flocks and droves so thick that there is literally a line in front of every piece of equipment at the gym. Then around mid to late March they start disappearing one by one like game birds being picked off by hunters. By April, they’re pretty much all gone. These seasonal “birds” are the joke of the gym every hunting season. The question is, will YOU be one of them? Because you certainly don’t have to be. Everyone who’s in shape now was once someone who was just getting started or getting back on the horse after “letting themselves go” a bit. So getting a fresh start is nothing to be ashamed about. In fact, it should be applauded. Getting started new and fresh means that you have stepped up to the plate to do something that so many people at home just are not willing to do for themselves. The trick is not to let it all end just as quickly as it started. I’ll give you the secret to being the last man or woman standing when everyone else has “flown back north” because they couldn’t hack it. Set your weight loss and fitness goals NOW. Make them as specific as possible. The dress or waist size you want, your perfect weight, the outfit you want to wear, the reaction you want to get. Write it all out. Studies have shown that written goals are more than twice as likely to become reality than those that are not. Then when you go in the gym, forget about everybody else. You heard me right—EVERYBODY. Don’t pay any attention to those toned physiques that look like they must have taken years to put together. Pay no mind to the show-off in the corner doing some fancy upside-down exercise with chains, ropes, and 2 machines. They aren’t your concern. Its all about you. Your body. Your goals. Your workout. Your results. Go ahead and take that “before” picture. Look at it everyday as you work away from the old and toward the new you. If you can just make it through the first few months you’ve greatly increased your chances of being around for the long haul. Don’t cheat yourself by being on of this year’s gym casulties. …And if you can’t make it to a gym, that’s all the better. Do the YourBestBodyNOW 15 Minute Workout at home and find a place close to home to get in your cardio. The only thing that can keep you away from your goals is you. Don’t allow that to happen. Start this year strong and dig as deep as you can to make sure that you keep it up until you get exactly what you want. You can do it, I know you can. To YourBestBody, Lawrence Cole

Weight Loss Hypnosis Is binging your number one problem? When you are alone and relaxed do you eat anything and everything. It doesn’t matter what it is — you feel have no self-control. It doesn’t matter how I’m feeling because either way I always eat. Please help! First, realize you are very much in control. It sounds like you are using food to meet needs and handle feelings that you don’t know how to deal with in a healthier manner. Yes, it feels “out of control” as “emotional eaters.” It often feels like the jelly doughnuts sprout wings and cram themselves down your throat. Other times it feels like an alien presence has invaded the decision-making center of our brains, making us do stupid things against our will. We criticize ourselves for being so weak and powerless, when what we really want is to be thin and healthy. Let’s get real. Fattening foods don’t really fly. Eating requires a decision to eat. Eating requires a deliberate act. Therefore, it’s impossible to be “out of control” of our eating. Yes and no. To understand this dilemma, understand that although eating does require a conscious decision to eat, it is influenced by both conscious and unconscious factors. We’re not always aware of the feelings and issues that drive us to binge. We can be in such internal conflict that while our right hand is stuffing our face the left hand tries to stop it. We are bewildered with this vicious battle and end up feeling like a loser every time. To understand this we also have to recognize the emotional power of food. Food is unique. It gets right down into our belly where we have all those “gut-wrenching” feelings and soothes turmoil. For many, food is a primary emotional coping technique. It distracts. It calms. It’s dependable. And it is almost always readily available. No wonder, then, that so many of us feel out of control in the face of stress. We don’t know what else to do besides eat. When we spend all day meeting everyone else’s needs, it’s often the case that after the kids are no longer demanding our time and energy, we sit down and “give” to ourselves with food. It’s crucial to avoid buying into the destructive and disempowering notion that we are “out of control” by recognizing that eating requires a choice. If we tune into the lurking feelings and issues that affect our judgment, then we can make a coping choice that might be more direct and ultimately, more satisfying than overeating. Only then can we truly be in control. Try an eating strategy called “empowered eating.” By becoming an empowered eater you will be more aware of what you eat and why you eat it, which will help you develop more stable eating patterns. Get started with the following three steps. Step 1: Take responsibility for your eating. Be accountable. Specifically, find an eating plan that can fit into your lifestyle. You must recognize that no one can do this for you. You must take the lead. Step 2: Eat with a purpose. View all eating as goal-directed. An eating goal may be physical, like nourishing the body, or it may be emotional, like coping with psychological issues. Step 3:Be mindful of your eating behavior. Pay attention. Be fully aware of your feelings and the issues that are associated with your eating. Being an empowered eater doesn’t mean you never again overeat because of emotional stress. It does mean, however, that when you do overeat, you understand why. And understanding the “why” behind your choices will make it easier for you to develop new, healthy habits.

When I work with my clients, one of the key elements that I incorporate into all of our workouts is INTENSITY. In my view, intensity is the most critical aspect of any exercise regime and can mean the difference between someone who reaches their goals and someone who doesn’t. Increasing your workout’s intensity will stimulate your body to burn more calories and induce a greater cardiovascular response. It will also allow you to have a more time efficient workout. If you are looking to burn fat and become more toned, then increasing your exercise intensity is critical. Many people have the misconception that if you workout at a higher intensity you will no longer be burning fat since you will be in your “cardio zone”. Whereas, if you keep your intensity low for a longer duration you will burn more fat since you will be in your “fat burning zone”. Let me clarify this for you once and for all. By training at a low intensity (<70% max) it is true that you use fat as your predominant source of fuel. While exercising at a higher intensity (>75% max) your main fuel source is carbohydrate but you will ultimately burn more calories. And since 1 pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 calories, the ultimate goal is to burn as many calories as possible to create a negative energy balance! One of the best ways to achieve this intensity is through the use of full-body compound circuit training (strength training) in conjunction with interval training (on the cardio equipment). The benefit of full body compound training is that since it utilizes more muscle in any given movement you burn more calories. The intensity of the workout also means that each exercise becomes more challenging as your heart rate is sustained at a much higher level. Here are a couple of benefits to following an exercise program combining circuit training and interval training: 1. Intervals and circuits vastly reduce boredom. Traditional steady state cardio training and/or weight lifting can become quite boring. Interval training and circuit training offer more variety and excitement to your workouts. 2. Interval training increases post-exercise energy expenditure (calories burned following exercise) more than steady-state exercise, which means that more fat is burned. After intense exercise, the body needs extra calories as it works to repair muscles, replace energy stores (i.e. carbohydrate) and restore the body to its normal state (e.g. reduce heart rate). As this can take many hours, you will keep on burning more calories long after the workout is over. In fact, research shows that metabolic rate is higher for several hours following interval training compared to steady state exercise. 3. Interval training burns more calories. As an example, 30 minutes on an Elliptical machine using a steady state program will burn roughly 292 calories, whereas 30 minutes of intervals will burn approximately 584 calories! Here is a sample workout that will leave you huffing and puffing: Warm-up bike, treadmill, elliptical, rower 5-10 min Circuit (45 seconds for each exercise, with 15 seconds rest between exercises) 5-7 min Lunge walks with lateral raises Plank (on stability ball) Squats with medicine ball shoulder press Push-ups Side Bridges Reverse Pull-ups Burpies Interval Training (cardio equipment) 20 sec @ 100% : 40 sec @ 70% x 5 5 min Repeat Circuit and Interval 3 times Total Workout Time: 45 – 60 min If you would like to experience what an intense workout feels like then please inquire about the revolutionary Fitter U MP3 personal training program! For a fraction of the cost of regular one-on-one training, this proven MP3 program will ensure you get to your fitness goals in less time! Written by Yuri Elkaim, BPHE, CK.
