Your step by step nutrition and training program is here…

Diet and exercise are two of the worst words in the fitness industry. Why? Because they usually accompany a lot of wasted time and represent the one-two attack plan that most people use when they want to try and lose weight and get in shape. The problem with this approach is that it is short term at best and doesn’t do anything to help you make long standing, permanent changes to your physique.

In this video, I show you that you need to stop thinking about eating in terms of diet and more as nutrition to fuel your body and your muscles. Likewise, exercise needs to be something you stop doing and instead you need to start training. Exercise is doing activity for the sake of moving. There doesn’t have to be any plan or progression behind it. That said, if you want to make the most significant changes to your body and lose weight once and for all while building muscle you will want to be sure you are putting a plan behind your workouts.

Diets are short term attempts at losing weight. They are based on the concept of deprivation and restriction. The minute you get tired of depriving yourself of the very things your body often needs to sustain it (ie. carbohydrates) your body rebels against you and makes it impossible to stick to the diet. As soon as you abandon your eating restrictions, the weight comes right back and you often find yourself angry at your inability to have the will power to stick to it. I say, you should be happy you finally got off the road to nowhere so you can actually make long term changes.

Exercise is something that I find all too common occurring in gyms these days. If you head to the gym and have no idea what you are truly trying to accomplish with that days workout or you don’t know what you plan on doing the next day or where you are ultimately trying to get to, then you are likely just exercising. If your idea of a good workout is one that makes you sweat or feel a little burn in your abs then you don’t have a good training plan in place.

Don’t think that this is simply a matter of semantics. The way we use these words often represents our intentions when using them. At the turn of a new year everyone seems to want to do something to help themselves lose weight and get in better shape. The all too common combo of diet and exercise is the staple solution for most. My problem is, it’s short term and doomed to fail.
