Keys to Weight Loss

Submitted by Sharon Kibbe on Wed, 2011-09-07 15:37

Are you a fan of, “The Biggest Loser” or other reality TV shows that help people transform their body in a matter of one television season or, in some cases, in one episode? I love seeing those amazing transformations and the excitement in the participant’s eyes as they achieve what they thought was impossible. Unfortunately, results like that in the time frame given are unrealistic. The average person cannot spend 6 to 7 hours a day in the gym and enjoy healthy meals prepared by a chef trained in cooking “clean”.

Eating Healthfully During Stressful Times

I was sitting at my desk with thoughts of M&M’s, chips, gummy bears…you name it…running through my head. Why can’t I shake those thoughts? I know I need to minimize sugar in my diet but I REALLY want something high in sugar and all the stuff I shouldn’t eat….

Has Your Diet Stalled?

Have you ever had a friend tell you they lost the “last five pounds” or really slimmed down with the latest diet fad? So, you decide that if it worked for them, it should work for you, right? Unfortunately this is not usually the case. You are unique! What works for someone else may not work for you. Being active every day, watching your portion sizes and generally incorporating some basic weight loss strategies can help you reach your goals. Incorporating health and fitness into your everyday life, even in small doses, can produce the desired results over time.

What is the difference between being overweight and obese? Is there really a difference? The following article discusses the differences in these terms, their causes and prevention. Lack of energy balance, calories in versus calories out as well as an inactive lifestyle is often the root of the problem. While genetic predisposition cannot be discounted it is important to understand that you have control over your body! Choosing to incorporate portion control, a healthy diet and exercise can help you reach your goal.

Our Environment's Influence on Weight Gain

Submitted by Sharon Kibbe on Tue, 2011-06-28 15:44

Have you ever heard someone say, “I can’t help that I’m overweight…it’s my genes.”? What about, “I don’t have time to eat right/get enough sleep/exercise/(fill in the blank).”? Or, “I need to lose a few pounds before an event this weekend so I’ll just skip a few meals and drink a lot of water.”? We all have those days when we feel like the world is conspiring against us and our attempts to get to a healthy weight.

U.S. study links premature death to extra pounds

Submitted by Sharon Kibbe on Tue, 2011-06-28 15:39

A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine indicates that even a few extra pounds on your body increases the risk for premature death. We have known for a long time that obesity has been tied to premature death but these new findings speak to the notion that those falling within the overweight (25 -29.9) range on the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale increase their percent of death by 13% (BMI is only one measure of health. Visit with your physician about your healthy weight range). Those who are morbidly obese are 2.5 times more likely to die prematurely.

Why Getting to a Healthy Weight Matters

Submitted by Sharon Kibbe on Thu, 2011-06-16 15:01

Our world (media, friends, family) has a definite opinion on what we should weigh. If a number isn’t put to the ideal, the world can definitely describe what that ideal should look like. All you have to do is look at magazine covers in the grocery store. If the ideal isn’t pictured, you will find photos of the opposite…super stars caught with their swimsuits on (unairbrushed) while on vacation or caught eating-heaven forbid- a piece of cake. So what is a healthy weight and why does it matter?

Yoga Defines Muscle

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2010-01-13 10:48

There are many common phrases uttered inside a fitness club at the first of the year. The “New Year’s Resolutioners”, as often referred to, are trying to hit their weight loss and fitness goals. One common phrase heard from women is “I want to sculpt my body, but am afraid lifting weights will make me bulky”. This is because the ideal body image for many women is slim, tall and defined. Yoga is a form of exercise that actually lengthens the muscle in order to strengthen and define versus breaking down the muscle to rebuild, as weight lifting does.
