Quote: If hunger is not the problem, then eating is not the solution.- Anonymous

If there's one thing that you need to understand it's the fact that changing your diet to a better more balanced one that will help youto lose weight and eventually live longer doesn't have to be a struggle.

It takes most people years to get to the stage of being obese, and even to the stage where they are carrying just a little too much bodyweight so you can't expect to reverse any long term habits overnight.

Even making a few small changes to your diet can have a dramatic effect on your weight when viewed over a longer period of time.

Just the reduction of a hundred or so calories a day will amount to a very large reduction in calories over the term of one year and that will also amount to a sizeable decrease in body fat.

This can be done by simply removing a small portion of the amount of food you consume with each meal.

If you find that this is causing more than normal hunger then have a glass of water a half hour or so before each meal and you will be less inclined to feel like you require more food.

You can replace a similar quantity of low value food with good food and this will also reduce hunger and will help to lose weight.

By doing it in this manner you will find that you will begin to enjoy the 'new' foods in your diet just as you learnt to enjoy the poor foods that you have been eating up to this stage of your life.

Many people find it hard to accept that they will be able to get the same enjoyment out of the food that they know they should be eating but that is only because they have been accustomed to the tastes of the food they eat at the current time.

A good example of this is the reaction people have to drinking a cup of tea with sugar in it after they have stopped having sugar for awhile. Most people find it difficult to drink as it seems too sweet after having been without it for some time.

Childhood Obesity - What can I do?

Good morning again everyone. I want to talk about something different this morning.

This past Mothers Day weekend Jeannie, Tristan and I went to Lousiana to spend the holiday with the rest of my Guidry family. We went to JellyStone park - lots of families and childrens celebrating and playing. During the course of the weekend I noticed something horribly scary. The obesity epidemic of children. Across the spectrum.

I feel really passionate about doing my part to help stop this childhood obesity from becoming the ‘trend’ that it has recently. I want to make a difference to the lives of our children - a better one.

What do I mean about trend? After this weekend I did some research
- Over 30% of our children are overweight or clinically obese
- By 2010 that number is predicted to increase to over 50% if we don't do anything.


As a parent (concerned parent at that!) myself, I was thinking about creating some sort of fitness program specificially for kids of all ages.

However, then I start thinking that what if I do this and then they go home to their parents where they are only offered processed, high fatty foods? All of my efforts would be abolished.

Then I start to think that maybe I should also be targeting the parents by doing some sort of nutrition class and/or even a seminar series to share ideas on how to organize your life to create more time towards making healthy meals. I could also talk about how to combat excuses towards exercise; the importance of role modeling; limiting beliefs; and how to attain an unstoppable attitude.

So this is where I’m at. I was hoping for your input.

What would you like to see in your own community to help stop the childhood obesity trend?

Please email me your thoughts, questions, etc : julescg@methodevolution.com

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Can losing fat and weight help you feel 10 years younger?

Good morning again everyone. Hope you have been enjoying your CINCO DE MAYO celebrations and doing so safely.
From talking with many of my clients today it seems like most did their celebrations this past weekend. Which I completely understand - after all, who wants to wake up on a TUESDAY morning with a margarita hang over with a stomach filled with chips and fajitas and still have to be at the office before 9am!

I sure don't!!!

This past weekend Jeannie, Tristan and I spent time at her cousin's house in Bellville, Texas. A small, one, two or three light country town west and north of Katy, Texas (for those that don't know- I barely do!) Bellville had a fabulous little town celebration where a parade faired thru the center of town and celebrations continued within a few blocks and in the local park.

During our time there walking the streets and parade area...I could not help but notice the diverse characters that people held...some lean and thin, some heavy, some between, some keeping their youth - while others letting it go away.

In a talk of reflection about this with one of my new clients this morning; she asked me - "What are some of your thoughts and secrets to keeping that "youth"?" What a fabulous question! And with that I preseeded to tell her as David Letterman would say...my possible Top 10.

To learn those SECRETS to Looking Great and Feeling 10 Years Younger; go to METHOD EVOLUTION at http://www.methodevolution.com and get my new FREE report and learn what I shared with her this morning.

Yours in health (and youth!),

Its a choice to be fit and healthy

Exercise remains one of my top priorities. I fondly remember the days when I could train hard for 2 hours, but today I prefer to work hard for 20 minutes to 30 minuts and use the increase in energy and additional hour plus to work on other tasks - like running the areas most results proven weight loss and fitness business. And with this shift in priorities my most enjoyable workout is more intense, yet shorter.

Staying fit and healthy is a choice. We all have legitimate reasons to put off exercise, but we also have many more powerful reasons why we must exercise. Exercise allows us to be more productive, more vibrant, work more effectively, focus more clearly, have a better mental outlook, just to name a few. Develop your own compelling reasons why you make consistent exercise and quality nutrition consumption a part of who you are.

Below are some exercise fun ideas to help get you moving, in spite of the reasons we can't:
1. Dance to your favorite music in your living room. Invite your spouse and the kids to join in!
2. Pretend you're playing the biggest game of your life in your favorite sport - and play hard for 30 minutes!
3. Join a boot camp, or other group fitness program. They are a lot of fun and get you in shape fast.
4. Go in the backyard and play vigorously with your kids and the whole family gets a workout.
5. If you have kids under the age of four, put them in a jogging stroller and get in short jog before dinner.
6. And just because you're no longer 14 doesn't mean you cannot go swimming, ride a bike, or play your favorite sport! Tennis, racquetball, soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, even golfing without the cart, are all great ways to get your exercise in.

If you have a reason not to exercise, I have the solution.

How much weight did you lose last week?

I’m just curious – how much fat did you lose last week?

1 pound?

2?

None? (WHAT!)

And how long were your workouts? 45 minutes, 60 minutes, an hour and a half, two hours????

Remember that email I sent out not long ago asking for volunteers? Well a few brave souls contacted me and signed on, not knowing what was truly in store for them over the coming weeks. Did you think about it? Well it could have been you that lost 10 lbs last week!

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Yes I am. Each and every one of my volunteers lost weight in their first week of training. And one woman actually lost an amazing 10 lbs.

Did I mention the workouts are only 12 minutes long? Did I leave that out? Well they are – each workout less than 20 minutes.

I wonder how much weight they will lose this month. How much will you lose?

Want to know my secret? Want to get in on the most amazing and time efficient fat loss program?

Do you have 12 minutes?

If the answer is “yes” go to: http://www.methodevolution.com/

Hotel Room Workout

I got an email the other day from one of my clients in desperate need of a workout while they are on busy travel.

They wanted something that would get them ready for the day, burn some calories and get a great training session in before a long day of sitting in a hotel conference room going thru meetings, etc.

Here's what I sent them as a very short training session that required nofancy training equipment and only about 20 minutes of time.

I told them to start off with a little joint mobility work to loosen up and then follow the next exercises in a circuit format with very little to no rest in between:
1. Jumping Jacks (100 reps)
2. Bodyweight Squats (25 reps)
3. Push-Ups (25 reps)
4. Jumping Jacks (100 reps)
5. Bodyweight Squats Jumps (25 reps)
6. Push-Ups (25 reps)
7. Burpees (25 reps)
8. Plank (1 minute)

I had them go thru this circuit as many times as they could in 20 minutes. Try this circuit out next time you travel. Perform this evolution first thing in the morning. Its a great way to fit in a training session before your day of travel and or meetings.

PEARLAND BOOTCAMP

You may already belong to a fitness facility or health club, be an avid exerciser or be a couch potato. Regardless of your current fitness level, the ideal way to become more fit—both physically and mentally—is available now!

It's time you experienced Pearlands's and the Houstonareas most RESULTS PROVEN fitness & conditioning program

METHOD EVOLUTIONBOOTCAMP is an exciting outdoor, full-body conditioning fitness program designed to challenge, tone, and trim your body in weeks. Whether you’re a workout novice looking to jump-start a healthier lifestyle, training for a special event such as a wedding or high school reunion, or an athlete looking for a new challenge, this program can help you reach your fitness goals while enjoying it.

Boredom is not an option in my program based on philosophies from both personal training and group fitness. By combining callisthenics, plyometrics, resistance training, cardiovascular challenges, relay races and partner drills, you get an action packed work-out in one exciting hour.

I cover every fitness component including cardio and muscular endurance, strengthening, speed, agility, power, balance and flexibility.

Participants work together to develop individually and as a team, elevating the fitness experience far beyond what any gym has to offer. And if you are currently involved in any sport—whether as a "weekend warrior" or serious competitor, be prepared to improve your game, time and stats.

I want all recruits to encourage one another as they push through each drill. You will build a nice sense of camaraderie with your Fitness Camp peers that will help you make it to the next session.

My 'Fitness' Camps keeps running outdoors, rain or shine! This means recruits should be equipped with a raincoat or a poncho as they feel appropriate. Recruits should also bring gloves because you could get a little dirty, and a water bottle to keep you hydrated. Sometimes you will be asked to bring your favorite pair of weights as well. On days necessary - we furnish the logs and sandbags for some more tricks.
