******************************
51 YEARS YOUNG -!
FEMALE CLIENT
FIT & BALANCED
REAL RESULTS DON'T COME FROM BAD PLANS, OR FROM "RUN-OF-THE-MILL" APPROACHES.
THERE IS A COROLLARY TO THAT :
....IF "GREAT RESULTS" WERE EASY -- EVERYONE WOULD HAVE A "GREAT BODY" - !!
{... >> JUST BY VIRTUE OF A TINY BIT OF "CONSISTENT" EFFORT ,, >>...} !!!
- BUT WE ALL KNOW IT IS OFTEN NOT "SO SIMPLE" -!!!
....SHOCKINGLY,....
...IT IS ALMOST AS IF SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL THESE "OTHER" FITNESS TRAINERS THAT THEIR "PROMISES, PLANS, & STRATEGIES" ARE LACKING IN IMPORTANT & ESSENTIAL FACTS -- (ABOUT TO BE 'REVEALED' BELOW)
...LIKEWISE,...
...THE INDUSTRY THAT TRAINED & "CERTIFIED" MOST OF THESE NOW TYPICAL "ON-LINE" -- OR EVEN "IN-PERSON" -- FITNESS & NUTRITION TRAINERS & COACHES, -- FORGOT TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH- !
....OF "JUST HOW DIFFICULT & TRULY 'TRICKY'!" IT CAN BE...
....TO "LOSE BODYFAT", OR "PUT ON MUSCLE"....
....OR TO DO 'BOTH' -- !!
....AND THEN TO ACTUALLY KEEP THOSE GAINS - !!!!
--...PERHAPS YOU "KNOW" ALREADY,.. --
MOST TRAINERS NEAR "MINDLESSLY?" KEEP 'ASCRIBING TO' -- & "PRESCRIBING" 'ALL' -- THE SO-CALLED "MACROS"...
"MACROS" REFERRING TO THE 'THREE' SO-CALLED "MACRONUTRIENTS" OF: 1- - "FATS" ("FATTY ACIDS") // 2- - "CARBOHYDRATES" (CARBS) // 3- -"PROTEINS" ("AMINO ACIDS", TECHNICALLY).
ACTING AS IF THE MAGIC OF CERTAIN RATIOS OF THESE "MACROS" - [SUCH AS "20:40:40" - VS - "10:50:40"] - IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MANY OTHER DETAILS THAT ALSO NEED TO BE CONSIDERED.
I AM EXTREMELY AWARE AS A 6-TIME DRUG FREE-NATURAL BODYBUILDING STATE TITLE HOLDER - AND HEAD PHYSIQUE JUDGE AT STATE-LEVEL SHOWS - THAT IT IS FAR MORE COMPLEX -
AND I KNOW VERY WELL
WITHIN EACH OF THESE SO-CALLED "MACROS" -- QUALITY AND ABSORBABILITY & "LONG- & SHORT-TERM SAFETY" MATTER.
* * * * * * *
THE TRUE, "UGLY & BRUTAL" REAL FACTS ARE THESE
"SHOCKINGLY", OR 'FAIRLY' - AS "NATURE" OFTEN TYPICALLY IS; -
GET THE INFO & ACTIONS WRONG -- AND YOUR GAINS STOP, OR REVERSE, --
& BE SURE & READ THIS TRUTH JUST BELOW
SOME I HAVE EVEN SEEN END UP DEAD AT YOUNG AGES IN THEIR 40'S, 50'S & 60'S -- DESPITE 'WORKING OUT DAILY' & DESPITE "BEING IN GREAT MUSCULAR SHAPE" -- & DESPITE EATING THE CORRECT SO-CALLED "MACRO" RATIOS.
* * * * * *
"HOW' - ?? OR - "WHY" ??
>> CAUSE THEY CHOSE THE "WRONG FATS", THE "WRONG CARBS", AND THE "WRONG PROTEINS" - !
THE ACTUAL "SOURCES WERE TOXIC & DAMAGING", - ESPECIALLY OVER TIME.
THEIR "RATIOS" WERE NOT THE PROBLEM.
* * * * * *
LET THIS BE AN EFFECTIVE WARNING HERE -- AND INSPIRATION FOR HIRING THE RIGHT TRAINER -- WITH LONG TERM PROVEN KNOWLEDGE IN THESE AREAS.
THAT IS WHY "THE BEST" & "THE MOST WISE & DISCERNING" OFTEN HIRE ME -- DESPITE MY HIGHER SET OF STANDARDS ON NUTRITION -- OTHERWISE, - YOU WILL OFTEN END UP UNNECESSARILY DEAD OR DISEASED OTHERWISE - !!!
KIND OF A "HEAVY PRICE TO PAY" - FOR SAVING "$20" A SESSION WITH A TRAINER WHO DOESN'T EXPECT YOU TO "LEVEL-UP" OVER TIME; -- OR "EQUALLY'(??!) 'BAD" -- NOT KNOW HOW TO MOTIVATE OR INSTRUCT YOU ON HOW TO "LEVEL-UP" YOUR NUTRITION WHEN IT IS TIME.
MOST CLIENTS WHOM CHOSE MY 'UNUSUAL HIGHER SKILL SET' & "PASSIONATE & INFORMATIVE COACHING" DO SO CAUSE THEY WANT LONG TERM LASTING HEALTH & PHYSIQUE GAINS -- NOT "JUST A PAT ON THE BACK" WITH A SIMPLE - "GET YOUR MACROS IN" - {AND "8 GLASSES OF WATER"} KIND OF MANTRA - WHICH IS "DEADLY" 'OVERLY-SIMPLISTIC' MESSAGING.
* * * * * * *
WHAT IS THE "BRIEF" ANSWER TO THE MACROS DILEMMA - ??
KNOWLEDGE - !!
AND LOTS OF IT - GAINED & APPLIED OVER TIME - !
[<HERE, - JUST BELOW - IS A VERY BRIEF START - IF NEW TO THESE CONCEPTS>]
1 - ALL FATS ARE NOT THE SAME -- SOME WILL "CAUSE DISEASE", - OTHERS WILL "CURE IT" - !
SAME NOR ARE ALL SOURCES OF CARBSWITH 'OILS', - SOME POLLUTE THE BODY & ARE TOXIC - !! OTHERS ARE HONESTLY TRULY ESSENTIAL - AND WILL "DETOX, HEAL, BUILD, REGULATE, FUEL & FORTIFY" THE BODY.
EVEN PRECIOUS "EFA'S" - ["ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS"], - IF WRONGLY STORED OR UTILIZED - WILL TURN RANCID AND DAMAGE, & POLLUTE THE BODY - {SHOCKINGLY, - EVEN IF ON A "HEALTHY ORGANIC SALAD" OR IN A "BLENDED HEALTHY ORGANIC SMOOTHIE"}
2 - ALL CARBS ARE NOT THE SAME - NOR ARE ALL SOURCES OF CARBS EQUALLY GOOD. SOME "KILL", -- OTHERS "NOURISH & FORTIFY".
WHEN IT COMES TO CARBS, - 'ORGANIC' MATTERS, VERY VERY OFTEN, - AS DOES THE 'SOIL' THE FOOD WAS GROWN IN, AND THE 'SURROUNDING CONDITIONS' & EVEN HOW IT WAS 'STORED OR HANDLED' OR "PACKAGED" - AND EVEN "COOKED" - !!
"MICROWAVED" FOODS & BEVERAGES ARE A "NO-NO" [PROVABLY] -- & UNNECESSARILY OVERHEATED OR OTHERWISE OVERCOOKED FOODS OFTEN LOSE MUCH NUTRITIONAL VALUE - AND THUS -- RUIN "YOUR GAINS" -- AND YOUR HEALTH. SO NOT MUCH POINT IN KEEPING THOSE IN ONE'S DIETARY REGIME.
3 - ALL PROTEINS ARE NOT THE SAME - NOT EVEN CLOSE.
MOST ARE NOW AWARE OF THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT "ANIMAL-BASED PROTEIN DIETS" ARE NOW PROVING TO LEAD TO INFLAMMATION, PREMATURE AGING, DISEASE, AND ULTIMATELY - PREMATURE DEATH.
NOW IT IS RECENTLY VERY CLEAR THAT, -- ALTHOUGH MANY PROTEIN SOURCES CAN "BUILD MUSCLE MASS" - THOSE SAME PROTEIN SOURCES WILL CAUSE DISEASE OVER TIME - AND KILL YOU WITH HEART, LIVER, KIDNEY, & OTHER DISEASES,-- THIS INCLUDES EVEN ORGANIC "GRASS-FED DAIRY" PRODUCTS, -- WHICH WAS A LESSON FOR ME PERSONALLY. [{SEE MY SECTION ON "VEGAN DIET & PLANT-BASED EATING"}].
EASY DOABLE "PLANT-BASED" DIETARY PROTEIN SOLUTIONS EXIST - HOWEVER.
THUS, A BRIEF SMALLER TEXT SECTION (*) FOR THOSE WHOM WANT TO READ IT HERE:
(*) EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE FOLLOWING;
-- PROTEINS ARE REALLY JUST SOURCES OF AMINO ACIDS -- & THE BODY USES "20" SUCH AMINO ACIDS FOR BUILDING & REPAIR.
BUT, -- INTERESTINGLY -- AN ADULT HUMAN ONLY NEEDS "8" OF THESE IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES TO MANUFACTURE EVERYTHING IT NEEDS. [{INCLUDES "CELL-BUILDING", "CELL-COMMUNICATION", ENZYMES, HORMONES, NEUROTRANSMITTERS, & MORE - INCLUDING IMMUNE CELLS}
THE OTHER "12" CAN BE MANUFACTURED ["SYNTHESIZED"] FROM THIS "ESSENTIAL BASE" OF "8". [THESE "OTHER 12" GET CALLED "NON-ESSENTIAL" - BUT THEY STILL PERFORM TASKS THAT ARE "ESSENTIAL"].
THUS, THE BODY CAN BE OPTIMALLY FUNCTIONING IN TERMS OF PROTEINS -- AS LONG AS THESE "ESSENTIAL 8" AMINO ACID NEEDS ARE MET -- AND SUFFICIENT CONVERSION IS OCCURRING.
OFTEN, IN TODAY'S COMPLEX & STRESSFUL SOCIETY -- SOME DIETARY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTATION CAN BE WISER & CHEAPER - THAN STRUGGLING WITH AN ALL WHOLE FOOD DI ET.
HERE IS ONE SUCH PRODUCTIVE PLANT-BASED "SAFE" & "PROVEN" DISEASE-ELIMINATING PROTEIN SOURCE I HAVE FOUND - [{ CALLED "PERFECT AMINO", BY "BODY HEALTH "}] - THAT IS WORTH INVESTIGATION. MY CLIENTS WHO USE THIS ARE AFFORDED REDUCED COST PURCHASING - THOUGH I AM NOT "ENDORSING" IT AS SUCH HERE, FOR ALL, JUST YET.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
THE NEXT "BIG MYTH" THE TRAINING INDUSTRY IS "FULL-OF"- !
BESIDES THIS COMMON ERROR - DISCUSSED JUST ABOVE - OF SAYING "ALL MACROS ARE EQUAL" -- LIKE ONE OFTEN HEARS IN THE OLD "ATKINS" DIET, - OR THE CURRENT VERY POPULAR NOW "KETO" DIET APPROACH - OR EVEN THE "PALEO" DIET FAD --
-- ONE ALSO OFTEN HEARS ANOTHER VERY, VERY COMMON UNWITTINGLY IGNORANTLY & DANGEROUSLY REPEATED "MANTRA" -- HERE SEEN JUST BELOW -- IS ALSO TRAGICALLY ESPOUSED BY MANY A WELL-INTENTIONED BUT VASTLY MIS-INFORMED TRAINERS & NUTRITION WRITERS- !!
* * * * * * *
HERE IS THAT ERROR PRONE MESSAGE:
QUOTE: THE "KEY" TO LOSING WEIGHT IS TO "REDUCE YOUR CALORIES".
("DANGER" - ABOVE & BELOW - BOTH QUOTES ARE "WRONG")
OR : "MOVE MORE '&' EAT LESS" - [IS THEIR SIMPLE DANGEROUS MOTTO]
THIS, - AGAIN, - OVERLY SIMPLISTIC, DISPROVEN & ERRANT "CALORIC BALANCING" CONCEPT - CAN ALSO LIKEWISE CAUSE ACTUAL DEATH.
* * * * * * *
WHAT THEN - ??? -- IS THE SOLUTION - !?!
THE KEY IS "HIGH" OR "VERY HIGH" 'NUTRIENT DENSITY ' & NON-TOXIC FOOD CHOICES.
& TO SIMPLY, - "CHOOSE" - TO EAT 'MUCH' "CLEANER, WISER, & MORE EFFECTIVELY" - !
-- IN TERMS OF TIMING, PORTION SIZE & FOOD RATIOS & TYPES.
BECAUSE - HONESTLY - !!
* * * * * * *
'RESEARCH' & "REAL EXPERIENCE" BOTH SHOW:
TYPICALLY, -- EATING "DRASTICALLY LESS" OR "TOO LITTLE CALORIES" WILL UNDOUBTEDLY, AT LEAST -- {FOR MOST ALL WHOM ATTEMPT IT LONG TERM} -- ONLY SLOW DOWN THE "METABOLISM" -- ["THE BODY'S 'OVERALL' ECONOMY"] --
- & TRAGICALLY FOSTER EITHER "GREAT FATIGUE" OR EVEN "ACTUAL EXHAUSTION",- AND THEN PARADOXICALLY - {TO MAKE MATTERS STILL WORSE} -- INCREASE THE BODY'S TENDENCY TO PUT ON "EVEN MORE" FAT - AS A REACTION TO "PROLONGED UNDERFEEDING". -
YIKES - !
BUT WAIT - ! THERE'S MORE - !!
IT WILL ALSO IN ALMOST ALL -- "CAUSE MODERATE-TO-SEVERE MUSCLE LOSS" {"CATABOLISM"}, -- AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY "ROB THE BODY" OF IT'S RESOURCES --- AND "WEAKEN IT'S WELLNESS" -- LEADING TO 'BONE LOSS', "BRAIN MASS" LOSS, "IMMUNE DISRUPTION", HAIR LOSS, AND OTHER DISEASE.
IF NOTHING SEVERE HAPPENS -- TRULY "UNDERFEEDING" THE BODY -- ESPECIALLY DURING EXERCISE WILL OBVIOUSLY, - FOR MOST ALL - EASILY FORSTALL GAINS-! OR JUST "HEIGHTEN THE RATE" OF AGING OR BREAKDOWN FOR MANY.
THIS OCCURS, - HONESTLY, - MORE OFTEN THAN ONE MIGHT IMAGINE.
SOME "ANTI-AGERS" MIGHT ARGUE -- WHAT ABOUT "AUTOPHAGY"(?) - THEY "CLAIM IS BENEFICIALLY OCCURRING" WHEN "FASTING" FOR CELLULAR REST & REPAIR, AND THAT POTENTIALLY(!?) AND PURPORTEDLY(?) HAS "ANTI-AGING BENEFITS".
BUT
DESPITE CLAIMS OF "AUTOPHAGY" [{WHICH ACTUALLY LITERALLY TRANSLATES TO MEAN "SELF-EATING"}] - SOME REGARD AS "BEING"?? A "POSSIBLE UPSIDE" -- RECENT THE RESEARCH SHOWS "FASTING FOR AUTOPHAGY" IS YET TO BE PROVEN AS A MEANS TO GREATER EXTENDED YOUTH.
COMMON SENSE & MY OWN EXPERIENCE TELLS ME THE SAME THING.
* * * * * *
'THE' ANSWER:
ALSO ; "MY ANSWER"
EAT NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS - AT THE APPROPRIATE CALORIE LEVELS - AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES - IN THE APPROPRIATE "BEST POSSIBLE" FORMS -- USING THE BEST POSSIBLE AVAILABLE FOODS -- THAT SERVE THE PROPER METABOLIC NEEDS FOR OPTIMIZING "TRUE HEALTH" -- AND NOT "JUST PERFORMANCE".
THE BIG MISTAKE:
BESIDES COMPROMISING ON THESE PRINCIPLES ABOVE --
MOST ERRANTLY TEND TO TRY TO "FUEL PERFORMANCE" AHEAD OF "FUELING MAINTENANCE & REPAIR" --
I.E -- THEY LOOK TO THE "SUPERFICIAL LIFTS", 'RUN TIMES', -- OR THEIR WEIGHT LOSS, OR FAT LOSS -- AND LOOK PAST THE DEEPER IMMUNE & LONG TERM RECOVERY & 'BANK "SAVINGS" ACCOUNT' BUILDING APPROACH I TAKE + RECOMMEND.
THEN, -- THEY END UP EXHAUSTED, "BURNED OUT"- - AGING AHEAD OF TIME.
THIS IS WHY FOLKS - EVEN IN HOLLYWOOD & PRO-SPORTS -- HIRE GREAT HIGH-END TRAINERS AND NUTRITION EXPERTS.
TO NOT DO SO -- ENDS THEIR CAREERS, OR REDUCES THEIR OPPORTUNITIES -- OFTEN SEVERELY. -- COSTING THEM MONEY, SUCCESS, MEMORIES, AND JOY & SATISFACTION.
TAKE A NOTE FROM THESE "ELITES" - AND THE MANY WHO COME HERE WHOM ARE DOCTORS, BUSINESS OWNERS, OR SELF-EMPLOYED -- THEY KNOW THEIR LONG TERM HEALTH, INCOME, AND "BEST POSSIBLE LIFE" - IS DEPENDENT ON PICKING A GREAT TRAINER AND NUTRITION EXPERT.
HERE YOU HAVE A HEAD START IN IDENTIFYING ONE -- AS YOU READ ALL OF THIS. SO CALL AS SOON AS YOU ARE READY.
* * * * * * *
EXTRA REMINDER, AGAIN,
-- "EAT CLEANER, WISER, & MORE EFFECTIVELY"
-- IN TERMS OF TIMING, PORTION SIZE & FOOD RATIOS & TYPES.
HONESTLY, - SURE YOU MAY NEED SOME HELP ON THIS - !!
AGAIN
EVEN PRO-ATHLETES & FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES GET HELP WITH THIS - !!
SO, - WHY SHOULDN'T YOU - !!
* * * * * * *
AND--
"REAL EXPERIENCE" REVEALS TO ME:
INSTEAD OF "EXCESSIVE FASTING" OR "NON-FEEDING APPROACHES" -- TO "WEIGHT-LOSS" & PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, "HEALTH", PERFORMANCE, AND "LONGEVITY" GAINS --- WHICH HAVE BEEN COMMONLY ESPOUSED FOR 20 YEARS NOW --
I PROVED INSTEAD IT IS FAR WISER TO FEED THE BODY, -- IN PRECISELY THE RIGHT WAYS --
AND TO USE THE DIET TO "BUILD HEALTH" & "BUILD METABOLISM" - AND TO DO SO IN WAYS THAT ARE 'CONSISTENT WITH' & 'CAPABLE OF' FOSTERING "HEIGHTENED IMMUNITY, BRAIN FUNCTION, HORMONE MANUFACTURING, & ESSENTIAL NEUROTRANSMITTER" LEVELS, AND MORE.
-- SO, BUILD GUT HEALTH, BUILD DIGESTIVE CAPACITY, -- IN WAYS THAT HEIGHTEN ENERGY LEVELS -- & THEN BUILD THE SKELETON, BUILD BRAIN HEALTH, BUILD HORMONE LEVELS, AND BUILD THE IMMUNE & REPAIR SYSTEMS.
DON'T "FAST" OR STARVE THE BODY'S ECONOMY - !!
WHY "REDUCE" THE "SIZE OF THE FIRE" - WHEN IT IS THE 'FIRE' THAT BURNS CALORIES.
* * * * * * *
UNLIKE MANY OTHER LESS INFORMED, LESS-EXPERIENCED TRAINERS --
I KNOW --
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE EATS LESS CALORIES DOES NOT MEAN THEY WILL LOSE WEIGHT - OR THAT THEY WILL BURN MORE FAT -{THEY MIGHT JUST LOSE MUSCLE & EVEN SHRINK THEIR SKELETON - OR THEIR BRAIN-SIZE}
IT IS FAR, FAR, FAR MORE COMPLEX; - JUST KEEP READING AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO BELOW -- TO SEE HOW MUCH MORE.
* * * * * * *
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN MACROS - !!
FOR NOW, -- LET'S DELVE INTO THE FACT THAT NOT ALL CALORIES ARE EQUALLY IMPACTFUL
LETS TAKE A REALLY BRIEF LOOK AT SOMETHING CALLED "MICRO"-NUTRIENTS -- SOMETHING MANY STILL TRAGICALLY IGNORE -- OR ARE VERY LITTLE INFORMED ON.
...SADLY, -- IN ADDITION TO THE MANY PROBLEMS DISCUSSED ABOVE -- MANY TRAINERS OFTEN FORGET OR IGNORE THE "ESSENTIAL" TO 'HEALTH & LIFE' "MICROS"- !!
QUICK SMALL TEXT SIDE NOTE - JUST TO CLARIFY TO AVOID OR REDUCE CONFUSION:
THERE ARE 3 "MACRO" 'FOOD GROUPS', "FATS, CARBS, & PROTEINS" - NOTED & DISCUSSED ABOVE.
-- BUT ODDLY -- JUST TO BE CONFUSING -- THERE ARE ALSO "7" MACRO-"MINERALS" -- MEANING YOU NEED LOTS MORE OF THESE IN QUANTITY THAN THE "MICRO-MINERALS" - OF WHICH THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY '8' ESSENTIAL "MICRO"-MINERALS. (*)
PLUS THERE ARE OVER "70" TRACE MINERALS. (*)
(*) NOW YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE "GET PROFESSIONAL DEGREES" & TRAINING IN NUTRITION '
I AM CERTIFIED IN SPORTS NUTRITION --
AND TRAINED IN MULTIPLE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE MINERAL & NUTRITION PROTOCOLS.
[ ANYWAY, -- BACK TO THE MAIN TEXT ]
THE MICRONUTRIENTS INCLUDE:
"ALL" MACRO & MICRO & "TRACE" " MINERALS", AND MANY, MANY "ANTI-OXIDANTS" - {AND ESSENTIAL 'NATURALLY OCCURRING' FOOD "CHEMICALS"} - SUCH AS COMPONENTS OF HERBS, SPICES, AND SO-CALLED "SUPERFOODS".
-- PLUS ALL TYPES OF PROPER DIETARY FIBER" & PROPER "PREBIOTICS " - FOR YOU AND YOUR ESSENTIAL MICROBIOME<- !!
[[>> BY THIS I AM REFERRING TO ESSENTIAL ''SUCCESS-PROMOTING' -- & EVEN LIFE-SAVING -- "DIETARY DETAILS- !!
-- THAT EXTEND WAY BEYOND THE TYPICAL VIT "D-3", MAGNESIUM, ZINC, VIT "C", AND THE COMMONLY "PRESCRIBED / RECOMMENDED" COCONUT OIL, AVOCADO, BLUEBERRIES, OATMEAL, TURMERIC, & GREEN TEA <<]]
[[>> NOT TO MENTION THE TENDENCY I FIND FOR TRAINERS OFTEN IGNORING WATER QUALITY SOURCES & CONCERNS -! <<]]
[[ >> TAP WATER CAN KILL - !! << ]]
YET, HERE:
....MOST STILL SIMPLY SAY....
....GET YOUR "8" [OR "5"] LARGE GLASSES OF WATER,...
...OR THE EVER POPULAR STYLIZED QUOTE -- "GET YOUR FLUIDS" - !!
[>REMEMBER, "SOURCES" & QUALITY MATTER, -- AND I KNOW OF INEXPENSIVE SAFE HEALTHY SOLUTIONS<]
NOW TALKING ON TOXI NS & TOXIN EXPOSURE THROUGH FOOD SOURCES - !!!
REMINDER:
...MANY TRAINERS SADLY SIMPLY MENTION TO "GET YOUR MACROS IN"...
...WHILE THEIR MACRO SOURCES' ACTUAL " BIO-AVAILABILITY ",.... -- AND POTENTIAL FOR INADVERTENT OR UNNOTICED & UNRECOGNIZED ("DEADLY-OVER-TIME") TOXINS',... -- GOES UNDISCUSSED & UNADDRESSED, -- AND THEREFORE & UNRESOLVED.
[ THINK POISONS - MERCURY, GLYPHOSATE, DAMAGING ESTROGENS, ETC -! ]
[ SOME OF THESE PROVEN PRESENT IN 90+% OF AMERICANS -! ]
[>PEOPLE GO FOR DECADES WITH THESE VERY OFTEN UNDETECTED & UNADDRESSED<]
THESE OFTEN GO UNADDRESSED BY ALL BUT THE MOST ARDENT & HIGHLY INFORMED TRAINER - !
....COSTING YOUR PROGRESS,... SLOWING YOUR "GAINS",...
...OR INSULTING YOUR HEALTH,....
....OR EVEN BRAIN FUNCTION.
SOMETHING NO ONE WOULD WANT -!!
* * * * *
* * * * *
NEXT IMPORTANT POINT TO ADDRESS:
INDIVIDUAL "BIOLOGICAL & ENERGETIC" UNIQUENESS - !!
PERHAPS YOU "ALREADY KNOW "... OR PERHAPS CAN LEARN HERE, -- NOW, (IMMEDIATELY BELOW), --THIS NEXT IMPORTANT "FITNESS INDUSTRY" 'TIDBIT' -!!
>>MOST TRAINERS RELY ON AUTOMATED DIETARY & NUTRITION SOFTWARE, WITH THE LATEST "TRENDING" "BUILT-IN ERRORS & BIASES" <<
{THIS AUTOMATED DIET & NUTRITION SOFTWARE USES FORMULATIONS THAT "CAN'T PREDICT FOR" -- "NOR ACCOMMODATE" -- SUCH COMMON THINGS AS "THYROID IMBALANCES" , 'CORTISOL EXCESSES ' , 'SLEEP DISTURBANCES' , "IMMUNE CHALLENGES , WORK STRESS," EMF" STRESS EFFECTS, -- OR SOCIAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, -- OR THE NEAR UBIQUITOUS "CHANGING-BRAIN" DEMANDS OF THE "MODERN STRESSFUL LIFE"}.
....{AGAIN, HERE,...THE AUTOMATED "SOFTWARE" -- {OR 'CHART-STYLE' "HAND-FIGURING" FORMULA} -- ATTEMPTS TO DETERMINE YOUR RATIO OF THE THREE "MACRO-NUTRIENTS" -- ('FATS, CARBS, PROTEINS').. .BASED UPON OTHERS' INFO --- USING POPULAR OR "TRENDY" IDEAS OF WHAT ALLEGEDLY "WORKS" FOR A HYPOTHETICAL "AVERAGE" INDIVIDUAL....OF THAT 'HEIGHT & WEIGHT", AND 'ACTIVITY LEVEL' & "AGE".
> KEY HERE IS "ALLEGEDLY" <
...SINCE, AGAIN...
IT'S ALL "HYPOTHETICAL" ONLY - !
....THE "TOTAL CALORIES" THAT GET "RECOMMENDED", - AND ALL 'PERCENTAGES', - ARE ALL MATHEMATICALLY CALCULATED BY SOME SUPPOSED EXPERT SOMEWHERE THAT CLAIMS TO HAVE CRUNCHED "DATA", - TAKEN OF OTHERS WHOM ARE "NOT YOU" - AND THEN BUILT AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM TO SUPPOSEDLY PREDICT WHAT YOU NEED....
AGAIN,...
THIS IS ALL WRONGLY PRESENTED TO THEIR CLIENTELE AS " INDIVIDUALIZED",
-- AS IF THIS IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED - !!??!! - - TO ACHIEVE THE NEXT ARCHETYPAL ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ", OR " MARIO LOPEZ ", -- OR "NICOLE SCHERZINGER ", OR " HOLLY BERRY ".
THE HARSH TRUTH IS THIS....
>>> IT IS NOT NECESSARILY " EASY " --!!!! <<
[ THOUGH IT CAN BE FOR "RARE" FEW ]
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
...IN FULL TRUTH...
..."GREAT BODIES", -- & "GREAT RESULTS",
-- TYPICALLY TAKES FAR MORE THAN JUST "GREAT MACROS" AND A CONSISTENT "HARD WORKOUT"-!!!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
...BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY OFTEN "SELL" --
-- YOU --
THE AVERAGE(?)" FITNESS 'CONSUMER'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
..BUT LIKELY "YOU" ARE NOT " AVERAGE" -
- OR YOU WOULD NOT BE READING HERE.
>>> LUCKILY, YOU ARE LIKELY PREPARED TO READ A JUST A BIT MORE TO KNOW THE TRUTH <<<
THIS IS ALSO WHERE MY 49,000+ HOURS OF "REAL INDIVIDUALIZED & PROVEN 1-ON-1 COACHING" COME IN.
HENCE, READ ON, AND NOTE THE SIMPLE FACTS BELOW:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
IT TAKES A DETAILED ASSESSMENT OF THE BIOCHEMICAL, HORMONAL, AND 'CONSTITUTIONAL MAKE-UP' OF EACH INDIVIDUAL, -- AS WELL AS THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT, FAMILY SITUATION, AND OTHER FACTORS -- TO ASCERTAIN THE BEST & "REAL INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN" TO INITIATE, -- AND THEN FOLLOW-UP WITH OVER TIME, FOR THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
MEANING
* * * * * * * * * * *
HARD WORK "ONLY",
WITHOUT REAL "INTELLIGENCE"...
...AND / OR A "GREAT PLAN"...
RARELY PAYS OFF.
* * * * * * * * * * *
HENCE, I HAVE LEARNED A SIMPLE 4 STEP PROCESS
FOUR PHASES:
1)- BEGIN WITH A QUICK & QUALITY LIFESTYLE ASSESMENT & GATHERING ALL RELEVANT PERSONAL INFO,...
2)- "THINK", 'COMMUNICATE', & 'DETERMINE' WHAT YOU ARE READY TO TAKE ON....
3)- "APPLY" THE PLAN /STRATEGIES AGREED UPON {STILL "THINK & COMMUNICATE" - BUT ALSO NOW "ACT" - USING THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE CAREFULLY GAINED}...
4)- "EMBRACE IT", - "GO WITH IT" - LET THINGS "TAKE OFF".
[REPEAT CYCLE - REPEATEDLY - MOVING FORWARD]
[OF COURSE, "RE-ASSESSING" AND MAKING NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS "AS ONE GOES FORWARD"]
* * * * * * * *
JORDAN, IN THE NBA, IS ONE SUCH STELLAR EXAMPLE OF "HARD WORK & DETERMINATION" PAYING OFF - PLUS HE USED HIS FAVORITE COACH- !
IT WASN'T "EASY", - IT TOOK TIME & EFFORT, [AND REPEATED EFFORT] - & A PLAN - ! - BUT IT CLEARLY WORKED- !!
INTERESTINGLY,-- AND TRAGICALLY, --THE FITNESS & PERSONAL TRAINING INDUSTRIES STILL REMAIN RIFE WITH OVERLY SIMPLISTIC & REDUCTIONISTIC MODELS THAT ARE OFTEN WHOLLY INEFFECTIVE FOR DEVELOPING SAFE & LASTING CHANGES IN BODY FAT LOSS, HEALTHY MUSCLE GAIN, AND IDEAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT.
THIS IS WHERE EXPERIENCE, WISDOM, INTUITION, AND INTELLIGENCE ALL COME IN--
[THINGS I AM IN POSSESSION OF ALREADY,... AND OPENLY,... HUMBLY, ..ALSO, ALWAYS GROWING IN].
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
SPEAKING OF BIOLOGICAL INDIVIDUALITY & "UNIQUENESS"
EACH PERSON'S NEEDS ARE WHOLLY UNIQUE & REQUIRE FULLY INDIVIDUALIZED PLANS.
MANY, OR MOST ALL, -- AT LEAST IN WISCONSIN -- DISCOVER THAT:
THERE IS FAR MORE TO REACHING ONE'S GOALS THAN JUST "HITTING THE GYM" - AND "EATING MORE VEGGIES".
PEOPLE FACE ALL KINDS OF UNIQUE - AND SOME OFTEN NOT SO UNIQUE - CHALLENGES:
PEOPLE HAVE "OLD INJURIES", [OR "RECENT" ONES], - HORMONE CONCERNS, [OR EVEN DIAGNOSED IMBALANCES], - TOXIC FAT STORAGE FROM EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, OR SIMPLY OFTEN FROM "DECADES OF 'OLD' TOXIC EATING HABITS", - "JOINT" OR "POSTURAL" CONCERNS, - AND THEY ALSO OFTEN VERY STRONG MENTAL & EMOTIONAL "PREFERENCES" - !!!!
ALL OF THESE MUST BE MET ADEQUATELY, OR BETTER - !
LUCKILY
THE SOLUTIONS ARE OFTEN AS NUMEROUS AS THE CAUSES OF THE THINGS THEY ARE DEALING WITH.
WE'LL LOOK AT "SOLUTIONS" IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, -- BUT FIRST LET'S LOOK AT "THIS COMMON PATTERN":
HERE ARE 4 OF THE MOST COMMON AILMENTS, ISSUES, OR CONCERNS, -- AND IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE OFTEN HIGHLY INTERCONNECTED - ! - MEANING THEY KEEP "FEEDING" INTO ONE-ANOTHER- !
& - "ANY '1' OF THESE '4' SEEN BELOW" - "IF NOT SUFFICEINTLY ADDRESSED OR REMEDIED", - WILL TYPICALLY HOLD BACK ALL THE OTHERS - & YOUR PROGRESS - !!
1- "HORMONES" || 2- "POSTURE" || 3- "GUT HEALTH CONCERNS" || 4- "GENERAL TOXICITY"
ALL OF THESE CAN STEM FROM UNEXPECTED - OR "HIDDEN" - YET EXTREMELY COMMON "PLACES"-- AND YET THEY MUTUALLY REINFORCE ONE ANOTHER !!!!
OFTEN - MOST COME FROM SIMPLY, - YET "DISCRETELY" - FROM THE INTERPLAY OF ONE'S ENVIRONMENT & ONE'S LIFESTYLE.
&
I FULLY KNOW THAT ALL OF THESE & OTHER PROBLEMS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO DIFFICULTY LOSING FAT WEIGHT,..
-- OR TO TROUBLE WITH GAINING 'HEALTHY USEABLE" MUSCLE MASS,...
...OR OTHER GOAL,..
- SUCH AS "HAVING MORE ENERGY", -
- OR 'SIMPLY FEELING BETTER' "MOOD-WISE" - !
TO WIN - THE CYCLE MUST BE BROKEN & REVERSED.
-- WHETHER IT 'COMES FROM' OR 'INVOLVES' SUCH THINGS AS TOXIN ACCUMULATION, 'SPINAL' OR 'NERVE' ISSUES" , -- "POOR POSTURE", "POOR CIRCULATION", "LYMPHATIC CONCERNS", -- OR "FROM INJURY", -- OR FROM POSSIBLE FORMER MEDICATIONS, "SIMPLE NEGLECT", -- OR FROM AN "OVERWHELMING PAST STRESSFUL EVENT OR PERIOD", OR "LONG-STANDING EMOTIONAL ISSUES", -- OR EVEN FROM "FAMILY OR WORK" STRIFE, - OR FROM JUST "LIMITED OR POOR ENERGY FLOW" - OR SIMPLY EVEN 'PURPOSEFULLY' "SELECTED" LOW PRIORITIZATION -
IT WON'T MATTER IN ONE SENSE --
AS I AM "SOLUTION" ORIENTED & FOCUSED, -
AND HAVE LIKELY SEEN IT ALL IN MY 32 YEAR CARRER.
SO BE AS FULLY CANDID & UP-FRONT AS YOU ARE ABLE.
NO SHAME OR EMBARRASSMENT, - THE FOCUS IS ON CHANGE & SUCCESS
