A Realistic Approach to Weight Loss, by Michael Masterson

Sally has an ambitious weight-loss goal for 2010. She told me she is planning to lose 40 pounds. She said she figured she’d lose four pounds a month for 10 months, and then celebrate in October. If she fell behind a little bit, she’d have two months to catch up.

That is good thinking. But rather than shooting for an even four pounds per month, I suggested that she should plan to lose weight more realistically. For example, she could aim for six pounds in each of the first three months, five pounds in each of the next three, three pounds in each of the next two, and the final pound in the ninth month.

That approach corresponds to the way the body actually works. You take off more weight at the beginning — when your new eating and exercise program is having the greatest impact — and then give yourself time to settle into a stable routine for the rest of your life.

I hope everyone has a happy, safe & incredible rewarding holiday season!

Why wait until the new year to start a work program?

Why wait to start taking off the pounds?

Why wait to start building muscle?

Why wait to start eating health?

Why not just start not now? There are no good excuses!

Contact me if you think you have a good excuse…I can’t wait!

If you’ve hit a plateau and you have no idea what to do about it – there’s only one thing to do about it…take a short break (a few days to a week) then change something about your diet & your workouts.

The human body, over the course of a few months adjusts to our habits. Because of this, every few months we need to change our diet. Changing the workout is more important though, and consists of changing:

1. Intensity
2. Exercises
3. Length of workout
4. Number of times per week you workout
5. Etc, depending on your body & situation
