Burning Calories is Not the same as burning FATS!
…and losing weight is not the same as Losing the Fat and Flab!
Henry Ford said, If you think you can or think you can’t – you’re right.
Garbage in – Garbage out, applies to feeding your body, mind and spirit
“You can burn calories all day long – but if you’re Not burning calories from stored Fats – you’re going to struggle”

3 TIPS FOR EATING RIGHT
Do No Harm – To Your Tummy!
If your tummy is constantly irritated and inflamed? How do you expect to Nourish and Strengthen Your Body?
Just because you Ate it – Doesn’t mean you Absorbed It
If What You Eat or How You Eat is Inflaming your Gut – You Need to Fix it!
All that extra protein and supplements you are swallowing and paying for may not be getting absorbed.
Has Your Metabolism Shifted?
You Burn Calories to produce Energy by burning carbohydrates, proteins and fats!
Burning more calories doesn’t mean – burning more calories from FATS.
People who struggle with weight gain, fatigue, cravings, mood swings, hormonal imbalance, etc….are typically burning more carbs and proteins (lean muscle), than Fats throughout the day!
The right diet and dietary habits will keep you in your ‘fat-burning’ zone 23/7
Dietary Dis-Stress
Is your diet adding additional Dis-Stress onto your body.
If your tummy is Inflamed? Or your blood sugar is up? It’s triggering more cortisol.
Cortisol stimulates your metabolism to burn more carbs and proteins, instead of fats.
Don’t let your diet be what’s causing a surge on your cortisol levels.
4 TIPS FOR TRAINING SMART
Exercise is a form of Stress!
- Can your body handle the additional stress?
- Not all exercise is Stress Reducing
- The more intense your workout – the more cortisol you produce
- Maybe you’ve over-loaded your body and that’s why you haven’t been able to burn the fat and add lean muscle!
Intensity Matters When it Comes to Adding Lean Muscle
- The more intense your workout – the more testosterone (TT) and growth hormone (GH) you produce
- I didn’t say, the longer you ‘fatigue and exercise’ your body – I said the More Intense Your workout – the more you spike your TT and GH.
- TT and GH builds lean muscle – and after age 35, it keeps You from Losing Lean Muscle
- Aerobic, low intensity, endurance training are great, but do they spike you TT and GH enough for what you want?
Burning the Wrong Fuel
- The worst thing you can do when you exercise is Burn Lean Muscle (proteins), but it happens All The Time1
- The intensity (the pace) of your workout determines if you burn Sugars (carbs and proteins) or FATS for energy.
- Don’t assume your aerobic workout is ‘fat-burning’ – you could be training at too fast of a pace, and be burning carbs and proteins (lean muscle) for energy….NOT FATS!
- Check out our Do-It-Yourself Fitness Test
- It’s OK to burn sugars when you exercise – but if you're burning lean muscle (proteins), that could be why you aren't losing the Fat and Flab.
Stress, Cortisol and Over-Stressing Your Body
- True aerobic exercise is stress reducing
- Doing your aerobic activity a little too fast for your level of conditioning is Stress Producing
- Are your workouts more intense than you think? Which triggers more cortisol?
- Do your workouts and lifestyle keep your cortisol levels elevated, which could be slowing down your results?
- Have you had your cortisol levels measured?

If You Think You Can or Can’t – You’re Right!
- Positive thinking, like hard work, doesn’t guarantee success – but it sure does increase the odds.

Feeding Your Mind is like Feeding Your Body
- Garbage In – Garbage Out
- What thoughts do you tell yourself during the day?
- Do you tell yourself that you can? Or that you can’t?

It’s estimated You have over 50 thousand thoughts a day.

- 90% of those thoughts are Negative

Don’t forget – Your Mind Never Sleeps
- You spend about a third of your life asleep, which allows your subconscious mind to rule Your Thoughts
- Do you fall asleep with the remote in your hand or with thoughts of worry, fear or anxiety?
- - Or do you sleep with a Smile on Your Face as you focus your thoughts, dreams and imagination on something positive you are looking to achieve?
- Thinking about the next great idea, invention or cure is great, but let’s start by first Thinking Better about ourselves, our future and the outcomes we want to see happen in our lives.
