Are You Counting Calories For Weight Control, or Making Every Calorie Count?

August 2, 2010

I spend most of my life counting calories. It was either the amount of calories, the number on the scale, the size of my jeans, or the candles on my birthday cake. It was always a number game. It was a simple concept; the lower the number the better. These numbers only succeeded in making me feel fatter and older the more I obsessed over them. It was not till later in my life that I realized that, in reality, none of these things were the right thing to focus on.

But first, as you watch this, keep these 3 myths and untruths in mind that we'll get into in greater detail in future posts:

Nutrient Density is the Key to Good Healthy Eating Plan

July 25, 2010

A rag mag about health found it's way into my gym (strangely) and it just blew me a way. It made sense! Mind boggled by a sense of clarity about healthy eating, like I had never experienced before, I took a trip to an event. It was then and there that I was introduced to a whole new world of health information and one of the guys leading the charge was Dr. Fuhrman. Needless to say, I did not feel healthy, living and eating the way I was, so I opened my mind and the rest was history.
