Our MissionOur mission is to help as many people as possible to improve the quality of their lives. I believe it begins with improving our health and appearance. I found this to be true in my own life. Our health is our most valuable resource. Exercise improves our mood and focus. It can lift us out of depression. It has even been shown to stimulate our mind. When we begin to look better, we begin to feel better. I believe a better life starts with the development of healthy habits because that is where it started for me. Growing up as an overweight kid, I lacked self-confidence. Obesity runs in my family. My paternal grandfather died of a heart attack when my father was in his teens. My father was always struggling to lose weight. He was a brilliant well-educated man, an editor at the New York Times, but he was never able to lose the weight.

Today we are drowning in information, but starving for wisdom. Most of us have the knowledge of the world available to us in the palm of our hand. A lack of information isn’t the problem. A lack of common sense is the problem. Nowhere is this truer than in the fitness industry.
You might be reading this with the hopes of validating your current program. You want to know if it meets a scientific litmus test for determining its effectiveness. You might be reading this to discover the five characteristics of an effective program. I am sure you could find an article like that, but this isn’t it. I conducted a Google search and wasn’t disappointed.
The litmus test for determining if a program is effective is simple. Is your diet and exercise program sustainable? That’s it. If your program is sustainable, then it is effective. So many people fall into the trap of doing a program. The whole mentality of “doing a diet” or workout program is flawed. It implies a task that has a beginning and end. Staying fit is a journey, not a destination. Fitness isn’t something you do, it is something you live. Continue reading “The Effective Program Litmus Test – Does your Program Pass”

If you have twenty or more pounds of body fat, you want to lose, beginning your weight loss journey is very easy to do. You don’t even have to change what you eat. You only have to control your portion sizes.
I am not suggesting that you will never have to re-examine your food choices after you have lost the first five or ten pounds but to begin the process of losing weight, all you have to do is cut down on the quantity of food you eat.
Whatever you are eating now, all you have to do is cut your serving sizes by approximately 20%. As a rule of thumb, a portion of protein is the size of your palm, a portion of carbohydrates is what you can fit in your cupped hand, and a portion of fat is the size of your thumb. Vegetables are technically carbohydrates, but they have such a low caloric density and are rich in nutrients and fiber so you can eat as much as you want, just don’t smother them in butter or sauces.
