Tips For Weight Loss
By Terje Brooks Ellingsen, Mon Dec 26th

Below are some tips for weight loss, some quite obviousothers no so obvious.

Throw out the Scales

If you have bathroom scales, you should either get rid of themor put them away for a while. Weight does not accurately reflectthe level of your fitness. If you should be measuring anything,it should be body fat, not the weight.


Eat More

Before you get too excited, understand that when you eat, it isnot how much you eat, but what you eat. If you find that gettingfit and eating less food is too hard, add more of the right foodinto your diet. Great options include an orange, hard-boiledegg, small broiled chicken breast, and fresh vegetables such ascarrots, celery sticks. If you have a craving for somethingsweet, many delicious options are available such as WeightWatchers cheesecake or Chocolate Éclairs. Getting fit does notmean total deprivation.

Time for Lunch

Instead of eating a heavy lunch, put together something lightand easy and go for a walk. You can sip on a protein drink orsnack on fruit while enjoying a nice brisk walk before headingback to the office. You will feel refreshed and more invigoratedfor your afternoon tasks.

Eat Less Later in the Day

Everyone knows, whether they want to admit it or not, reducingcalories will help you to lose weight. However, just as youshould reduce the calorie intake, you need to know when to

eat.Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the one mealthat should not be missed. Lunch should be healthy but a lessthan what you ate for breakfast. As you approach dinner, eathealthy but light. Avoid after dinner snacks or eating beforebed!

Drink much water

Water is excellent for the body and good health. Water helpsflush out toxins and other unwanted things lingering in thebody. Water also replenishes fluids that help lubricate theinternal body, keeps you hydrated, reduces hunger, which helpswith weight loss, and helps to make skin look smooth and young.If you are not used to drinking water, it may seem hard atfirst, but very quickly, you will enjoy the clean, refreshed wayit makes you feel. At a minimum, you should drink 64-ounces aday and more if you can.

Fitness and Food

Certain foods provide specific benefits for people who workout.If you need quick energy or planning to run a 4K or 10K and needto accelerate your metabolism, bread, grain-based food, sugar,and honey are great choices. If your goal is to burn fat, youshould eat peas, oat bran, pasta, rice, beans, lentils, and soyabeans.

<p>Hi, Todd,</p> <p>Here's what I'd hope for based on your info above:</p> <ul> <li>A personalized nutrition program that takes into account my lifestyle and time constraints;</li> <li>Recommendations for fitness activities that are tailored to MY fitness level and goals (i.e., training for a triathalon v. general fitness).</li> <li>Access to my trainer via e-mail for questions about my nutrition and fitness plans.</li> <li>A trainer who will assess my strengths and weaknesses based on my ACTUAL state of being, rather than assumptions based on body size, age, gender, etc.</li> <li>Someone who comes to me and can facilitate workouts on-site without access to special equipment (or just using equipment you can transport on-site).</li> </ul> <p>Those are my personal thoughts. If you want to appeal to businesses who will then offer your program as a benefit to employees, you need to show them why they should pay for this - how does the program benefit the company? Perhaps studies showing that higher levels of personal fitness lead to greater productivity at work (or fewer on the job injuries).</p> <p>Best wishes to you!</p> <p>Valerie</p>

<p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I am trying to hone an approach for my Elevated Energy Program for Professionals.</p> <p>Currently I offer a (the best) Body Composition Analysis, and integrated fitness and nutrition plan, followed by on location fitness training. No equipment is needed. </p> <p>It helps people feel better, increases productivity through good health, and as a fringe benefit helps weight loss.</p> <p>If you had a Fitness Professional coming to your location, what would you want? What would make it really appealing to businesses?</p> <p>I appreciate your input.</p> <p>In health,</p> <p>Todd</p>
