The salmon won, but only because you’re watching. I’m on a 3 week trip to launch the 5 Minutes to Fitness+ Club. I landed in San Francisco last night as the Giants won. Around the block form the hotel is Tyler Florence’s, from the Food Network, Wayfare Tavern. The staff told me the organic fried chicken was the best around. I swear I was going to choose it, then I thought of you. I knew I would be checking in and telling you about my trip and I didn’t want to disappoint you. One of the keys to health success is accountability, and you and I have it here. more »

Club member John reported in yesterday 7 lbs lighter than last week. I asked him what helped him most. He said, “I realize much of it is water weight and that’s ok, I’m still happy. What helped me most was making myself eat all day long, tracking my calories and sticking to my BMR.” John does his 5 Minutes to Fitness routine at least 5 times a week as well. more »

I always tell my clients, don’t drink or eat to feel better, find something else that helps. However, when it comes to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression experienced during the changing of the seasons–generally from fall to winter, and possibly related to decreased daylight, there are some foods that we should avoid and try to eat more of. more »

A powerful tool to help you maintain a healthy weight and be healthy in 2012, is to master eating for purpose. Here is your challenge, should you accept it 
What will you choose to eat for lunch today and why?
- Will you choose foods based on taste and a desire to feel better or be comforted?
- Or will you choose foods that will give you energy to accomplish what you want most in 2012?
Answering the latter can make an incredible difference in your life.
Tell me what you choose for lunch. I’m curious

Waking up this morning was tough. I woke 2 hours later than I wanted and didn’t get a jump on 2012 like I had planned. As I lay in bed, thoughts crashing into my head of what I had to do, the responsibilities, tasks, goals; I started to get overwhelmed. Has this ever happened to you? No, I know it’s just me more »

Day 4- Is it possible to train your body to be skinny? Absolutely, but not how you think.
I received several emails in response to yesterdays post about the story we tell ourselves. I could tell what they were doing with their bodies when they wrote the emails. Let me explain; more »

The answer is yes.
You know you need to get between 6-8 hours of sleep per night as an adult and most kids and teens need 8 to 12 hours per night. But why is sleep important? There are so many reasons but lets focus on weight loss. When we sleep our bodies regenerate and replenish from the day. Also, when we don’t get enough sleep we can be irritable, tired, moody, unable to focus and physically in pain. The result; we may eat more to try and feel better. This is documented by research.
Case study: I met with my health coaching client, Susan, recently, who tracks all of her food, workouts and sleep patterns. She noticed when she doesn’t get enough sleep, she doesn’t lose weight. It happened twice in one week. That’s an eye opener. So, she can be doing everything else right, but if she’s not sleeping enough she is sabotaging yourself. She’s lost over 70lbs and she will make sure she gets enough sleep to continue her journey.
Start by trying to get just 1 hour more per night, don’t watch TV in bed and avoid caffeine after 2pm. Nighty Night

I have 3 clients who wanted to lose weight. They all had the same problem. They were not eating enough. I realize it may sound crazy, but eating too little will slow down your metabolism and cannibalize your muscle.
All 3 clients, one in her 40’s and the other 2 in their 80’s, all lost weight when they did the following:
- Found out their BMR using the tracker
- Ate the amount of calories the tracker told them by following menus > (dinner menus coming soon)
- Did 20 minutes of my band workout, 5 times per week
- Kept a food and workout diary
- Reported in to their coach, me, via health coaching sessions
Want to master your weight and take control of your health? Start with the tracker >
Send me your tracker food and workout log this week. I’ll take a look and give you insightful feedback.
Not a club member? Join here and get your tracker > or sign up for Health Coaching with Peter K.
