Are you looking for a dietary “hack” that helps you shrink that belly, hips or thighs?

Well, unfortunately most fat loss “hacks” are really just ways for powder and pill pushers to line their pockets at your expense.

But alas! There’s a science, research and experience based change you can make to your nutrition to help you move that fat loss needle!

I want to talk today about a special moment that we often get to experience with people that we coach.

A moment that leads to a mindset shift and ultimately to results far beyond what otherwise would have been possible.

Learning to chase and enjoy The Process.

I know I know, you’re thinking “This guy must be sponsored by Big Chicken and get some sort of kickback ever time we buy one.

Maybe I do, maybe I don’t 😉

But it’s important, still largely misunderstood and most people don’t get enough of it so I’m still talking about it!

Do you have a bad knee? Or a bad hip? Or a bad shoulder? Did the doc tell you it’s “bone on bone” or it’s “the worst they’ve ever seen”? Have you ever just looked up a long flight of stairs and started feeling pain? Let’s talk about why that is, and what you can do to start reversing it.

Heath, is in turn, extending that capacity across your entire life.

If we looked at our health on a spectrum from “Sickness” to “Wellness” to “Fitness”, where would we lie?

For some of us it’s pretty easy to have a solid day of nutrition… until the old late night cravings kick in. Maybe for you it’s dark chocolate, ice cream or a couple bowls of sugary cereal.

Unfortunately our bodies don’t have a way to ignore those calories and they can pretty quickly add up to a few hundred if not more.

Here’s a little trick/recipe you can use next time you get a hankering for something sweet at night.

Insulin: Is it a scapegoat or the real smoking gun in fat storage.

When you eat, your body secrets insulin.It’s a hormone that acts as a messenger telling those nutrients in the blood where to go.That includes telling fatty acids to get into our fat cells.

But that’s not the end of the story.

Our relationship with insulin is more complicated and has high stakes when it comes to our overall health. If you ignore your relationship and sensitivity to insulin, you’re putting yourself at risk for Pre-diabetes and even Type II diabetes.

The good news is that for most people these conditions are completely preventable and even reversible.

Learn all about insulin and what you need to be doing to keep your relationship with insulin in check.
