Types of Protein

There are a few different types of proteins available on the market. The different types of proteins are milk based, plant based, rice based, soy based, egg based, and even beef based. To avoid mass confusion, this article is going to cover the milk based proteins, whey concentrate and whey isolate. If lactose intolerance or dairy allergy is an issue, it is best to look into the other types of dairy free protein powders. read more

Monday Workouts

Never Settle

Never Miss a Monday

This is something I struggled so much on in the past. There was a time before I started getting serious about my weight loss where I’d be just spinning my wheels. I would always skip working out on Monday’s. My mind would rationalize many reasons not to go to the gym. I would tell myself; “It’s Monday and I’m too tired to workout, I’ll go tomorrow.” We look at Monday as the worst day of the week and make excuses to not push ourselves in any way. Most people just want to make it through the day. read more

Calories and Diet

Never Settle

Diet is the second most important part of weight loss with mindset being the first. Without mindset, one would not have the discipline to eat clean on a daily basis. Food is meant to be your body’s fuel. This was something I had to realize.

When I first started I was lost on where to begin. I sat and thought about what were the larger things I could change immediately. I looked at my daily eating habits and tried to identify where I was overeating. I was really bad at eating sweets and eating large meals with getting seconds. I cut out almost all sweets and decreased my meal size while completely eliminating seconds. I cut out all sodas and drank only water. I started to notice weight loss after this alone fairly quickly. read more

Weight Training

Never Settle

Weight training, outside of diet, is one of the main building blocks for weight loss. Many who want to lose weight feel intimidated by the gym. They feel they’re going to be judged for being new. The fact of the matter is everyone is there to better themselves and are usually busy working on themselves. For myself, I have learned so much from others at the gym. Majority of people are more than willing to offer any advice to help.

When to Start

The time to start is now. Goals can’t be reached unless you get moving. If you haven’t weight trained before, seek the help of a trainer starting off. You can learn the basics from a trainer then start training yourself. You will learn so much as you go. I’ve been weight training for many years now and I’m still learning. read more

The Secret to Weight Loss

Weight Loss

Majority of people get stuck or overwhelmed when it comes to weight loss. With the large growing list of fad diets, it can get downright confusing. This overwhelming confusion causes many to quit before they even started.

The Problem with Fad Diets

One of the main problems with fad diets are they’re not typically sustainable over the long term. Most will follow a given diet and will lose weight and meet their goal. Once the goal is reached they will return to their old ways and will put the weight they lost right back on. This, in turn, causes frustration and that’s when people settle and give up. read more
