Turkey helps fight fat for Houston Personal trainer Print E-mail

It is important to eat protein in the diet says Houston personal trainer Melissa, because protein is the more filling than fat or carbohydrates. When choosing a protein, it is good to look for one that has the least number of calories and of all animal proteins, turkey has the fewest calories per ounce. Turkey has the amino acid leucine which helps the body retain muscle mass when a personal training client is attempting a weight loss program. Preserving muscle mass is key to keeping a fast metabolism because muscle is almost 24 percent more dense than fat in the body and requires more calories to maintain it.

Most personal trainers take some protein in the form of protein shakes or supplements but the most ideal form of protein comes when eating real food instead of engineered food. Balance and consistency is the key.

Grapefruit helps weight loss, Great prices now on 18 pounds at Houston's Food Town Print E-mail
dec._6_2006_011Recent studies show that if a person eats three grapefruit a day, and that is all they do differently with their eating, they will lose approximately four more pounds in six weeks. That is a significant finding and it is thought that the acidity of the grapefruits contribute to that weight loss effect. Grapefruit are also high in vitamins and right now, the delicious tasty red version that is very sweet is available for a great price. Houston Personal Trainer Melissa found that Food Town has eighteen pounds of the fruit in bags for only $3.99 and they are the sweetest grapefruit she has tasted in a while. Personal training in Houston includes helping weight loss clients find the useful tips on eating and exercising and good food choices and so Personal Trainer Melissa wants to pass this on to anyone interested in speeding up their weight loss for a few weeks. If on medication, it is important to note that some meds are enhanced by grapefruit so those individuals need to consult with their doctors.

Why are some successful at weight loss while others fail to lose weight? Print E-mail
dsc00131What makes some individuals successful when taking on a challenge such as losing weight while others fail? As a Houston Personal Trainer, I spend a lot of time trying to learn the psyche of individuals who have self sabotaging behaviors that prevent them from achieving their Houston workout goals. In fact I just took a Personal Training recertification class about that very thing. In a nutshell, I learned that the "rewards" for over eating, even though the rewards may be temporary, provide much satisfaction and the rewards outweigh the "punishment" of eventually being overweight or fat. In order to help these men and women personal training workout clients succeed at weight loss and slimming, I have to communicate a great deal about behaviors that do not contribute to success. This applies to so many things in life ...as a point of discussion, I know a handsome guy, extreemly intelligent, who has a good education, the finances to go to college and was accepted at some excellent schools. However, the "rewards" of financial independence after school, did not outweigh the "rewards" of immediate gratification from drug use. This drug addiction (which is similar to a food addiction) turned into such a monster that he ended up in the court systems, and unfortunately even that has not deterred him. It is hard to imagine that a person can self destruct like that but it happens all the time.
 One of my Houston Personal Training clients complains a lot that her parents and friends, but mainly her husband eat food she cannot have in front of her. She felt that it was not considerate. It may not be considerate, I explained to her..but the fact is,  that her family does NOT have the difficulties of overweight to deal with as THEIR challenge in life..but her good looking husband DOES have the challenge of beautiful women flirting with him all day long. He has to know how to say no to them just like she has to learn how to say no to the excessive food intake. Each person has a different challenge..and giving in to immediate gratification or blaming others is never the answer. This beautiful girl  has gained fourty pounds in two years since marriage so her eating is way more than her body requires. When A Houston in home personal training client takes ownership of her choices regarding food, she will then start to be more successful. Those Houston Personal Training clients who blame others for their lack of success are always going to fail.

Pancakes recipie with five grains help with weight loss says Houston in home trainer of athletes Print E-mail
pink_oWeight Loss requires a disciplined approach to eating and often some favorite foods have to be eliminated to reach the desired goals. Runners need carbs for energy but often they sabotage their weight loss efforts by eating the wrong carbs. HOWEVER, the recipe below for three grain pancakes is a healthy, low glycemic index choice for breakfast for even the strictest dieter.or runner. These pancakes have oats (full of protein, iron and fiber), millet (full of iron, thiamine and fiber) and flax seeds (rich in iron, fiber and protein). Flax seeds are known as a modern miracle food because they have omega 3 fatty acids which can lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides. Millet is the sixth most important grain in the world and is the least allergenic and most digestible grain and provides a great deal of the B Vitamins. It is also considered a good food to eat for longetivity. Hull-less Oat kernels are a high source of protein, almost equivalent of soy protein and are also good for lowering blood cholesterol.

This recipe makes about fifteen 3-inch pancakes and one serving is two pancakes.
1/2 cup Flax Seeds, 1/2 cup millet, 1/2 cup whole grain oats, two eggs beaten (or egg whites only if trying to lower cholesterol), 1 1/2 cup water, 1 tbs. sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tbs. baking soda, 1/3 tsp. salt, 1 Cup Flour, mini chocolate chips
Beat eggs and add water and vanilla and then all of the dry ingredients. Stir and if the mixture is too thick, add more water till it is the consistency of a creamy soup. Pour three inch pancakes into a heated skillet and top with about six chocolate chips. Serve TWO pancakes with light syrup...the recipe will make pancakes for a week if you make the whole recipie and store them in a plastic container.
