myths to weight loss

I read these on yahoo and thought you might like them. Im in line with these.

Myth #1: Carbs are the Enemy

Experts suggest that carbohydrates play a star role in keep you energized and your organs functioning properly. The carb bad rap should rest squarely on the shoulders of "white carbs" like white bread, white rice, and sugar. These refined carbs, dietitians suggest, are more likely to pack on the pounds. Stick with whole grains like whole wheat pasta and brown rice for a healthier diet.

Myth #2: Never Eat After 8PM

The habit of under-eating all day only to overdo it at dinner time is likely where this myth came from. Eating excess calories at any hour of the day will lead to weight gain. Just remember: It's not when you eat, it's what you eat.

Myth #3: It's Not a Workout Unless You Sweat

A cardio workout that gets you huffing and puffing is vital for a healthy ticker, but that's only half the picture. Low-impact workouts, like weight-lifting and yoga, might not leave you drenched in sweat, but they're equally important to keeping your muscles strong and your body burning calories all day long. Work cardio and resistance training into your exercise regimen and you'll be seeing the full picture of health.

Myth #4: Weight-Lifting Bulks You Up

Most women don't have the necessary testosterone levels to transform them into the spitting image of Conan the Barbarian-era Arnold Schwarzenegger. But if you integrate weight-lifting into your workouts and find you're getting a little too cut, switch to lighter weights and more reps.

Myth #5: Muscle Weighs More than Fat

Here's the deal: a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weight exactly the same amount. A pound! The difference between muscle and fat is an issue of density and volume. Muscle is denser than fat and takes up less space in your body which can give you a leaner look overall.

What motivates You to be Fit?

Why do you want to be fit?

keeping up with your kids as they get older?

Participating in your families life rather than watching it from the sideline?

Being the best Mom, Dad, partner you can be?

You can achieve anything you choose.

Write a comment and Let me know what your motivation is.


You can achieve a very high level of fitness regardless of how much time you have in a day.

Small changes to your diet and quick 6-10 minute workouts will help get you there.

Start with the diet basics:

1-Eat 5-6 smaller meals/snacks per day

2-eat fresh, not processed foods

3- eat your last meal 2 hours before bed

4- This is a big one for most people, Add protein to every meal. Thats, fish chicken, cheese, almonds, tofu, or a protein shake.

Make these changes and see your results.

Keep me posted of your results.

1 Weird Friday Phenomenon (And Last Day of Sale)

Not too surprisingly, the fitness industry gets real busy on Mondays. Of course it's easy to understand why.

Look, I know fitness pros are often seen as fanatics. Heaven forbid we actually care about our bodies. But I'm not silly enough to think people are being perfect during their weekend.

And that, my friend, is why Mondays are busy and Fridays are slow. Party all weekend, pay for it on Monday.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Your body is going to be grateful to you when you choose health and fitness as a way of life.

It's not just something you care about Monday through Thursday.

So I tell ya what: How about I get off my soap box and you do something good for yourself right now? ;-)

My partners over at Prograde Nutrition have been celebrating all week for a very special reason. And by celebration I mean ALL of their awesome products are on sale at 15% off.

Now, two more things:
1) You absolutely, positively MUST watch the video on the page listed below because the reason for their celebration is SO darn cute.

2) The 15% savings ends TONIGHT, Friday, March 26th at 11:59pm EST. That's in just a few hours!

Start your weekend off right. Treat your body with the respect it deserves.

CHicken Pizza - simple and delicious

Eating healthy does NOT mean bland and boring food. They say the proof is in the pudding.

Well, I don't have a recipe for pudding today, but how about one for pizza?!
http://lefeverwellness.getprograde.com/healthy-chicken-pizza.html

PS - This mouthwatering "Healthy Chicken Pizza" is just ONE of the 197 Healthy and Delicious Recipes my partners over at Prograde Nutrition have compiled.

Prograde does it again - 197 Phat burning recipes

This is EXACTLY why I love partnering with Prograde Nutrition. They want what's best for you. Unlike supplement companies that feed you blatant lies and exaggerations, these guys just tell you the truth.

They know that supplements have their place in health and fitness. But they also know - and preach - that eating whole foods is the center piece of your nutrition plan.

And to prove it they just came out with this awesome little ebook called "197 Healthy And Delicious Phat Burning Recipes" that will make your life a whole lot easier.

The best part? It's only $4.95 because they think - and so do I - that it's just too important for you not to get your hands on.

Look, I know most people think eating healthy means bland and boring meals. That is absolutely, positively FALSE.

Get a copy of Prograde's "197 Healthy And Delicious Phat Burning Recipes" and taste for yourself.
