Disclaimer: This is not a perfect eating plan by any means nor is it a plan you in particular should follow… this is just an average day of eating at our activity level and for our current goals. We also aren’t ‘chefs’ by any means so we keep food enjoyable but simple. Here ya go!

In our continued effort to bring you no-bs advice and information, we’re here to tell you that you cannot detox your body into shape by purchasing a special food, drink or chemical.

Most of the reason a detox works for someone is because for a set amount of time they aren’t eating all the crap they normally are during the detox. But once the detox is over however, in comes the junk and out goes any results they gained from the process.

HOW TO AFFECT YOUR BODY WEIGHT: We use ENERGY BALANCE to affect a client’s body weight.  Remember, energy balance is how many calories you are eating verses how many you are burning.

HOW TO AFFECT YOUR MUSCLE TO FAT RATIO: We use MACRONUTRIENTS to affect their body composition (meaning their ratio of muscle to fat).  Remember, macronutrients are how much protein, carbohydrates and fat you get from each meal.

If you are just embarking on starting to watch what you eat, here is what you can expect as you begin the process.

Remember, if you decide to make a change you absolutely can! All you have to do is just start today! Share this with a friend who might be ready to begin!

Growing up my mom would get her “information” from magazines (in lieu of the internet that we use these days). Around the table she would tell us a fact or two that she had learned and would use the term “they say” you should or shouldn’t do this or that. One of us would be just about to embark on something “they said” not to do and she would let us know their stance on the matter. It became a running joke in our family (since we usually didn’t like “their” advice) and we would say to her “who is they”?

So, "they” say eat real food. This is true. WE say eat real food… but why and how do I know if a food is good for me to eat?

A quick lesson on how to weigh your meal as you make your plate

by Jonathan Fletcher

Weighing and measuring your food can be intimidating when first starting out. How the heck are you supposed to eat a normal meal with 6 or 7 ingredients without using every plate in the kitchen to weigh everything?

IT IS POSSIBLE!

Our bodies are amazingly adaptable.  They can overcome just about everything we throw at it. 

 → Did you know that if you chronically under eat you can disrupt your body’s metabolism?

Under eating means consuming LESS calories than you are burning.  Also known as dieting.  If you’ve been on a diet for an extended period or have gone through many bouts of extreme dieting, your body knows it and it adapts to the lower food intake.

So what does that mean and why do we care?
