  • Losing Weight: Strength in Numbers

    By Raphael | In Motivation | on August 6, 2012

    On Saturday I had an experience that I’m not accustomed to on Twitter. I was tweeting with someone I had never had any previous dialogue with. She asked a question about her training and, after a series of exchanges she asked, “How are you doing today? I hate talking about me all the time.” I […]

    I can’t even count the number of people who’ve told me, “I just can’t seem to lose weight,” “I’ll never get this nutrition thing right,” or “I’m destined to be fat my whole life.”  Some people let life happen to them, never seek out information or support, and resign themselves to a life of “I […]

    Happy Valentine’s Day! The great dilemma – to eat or not to eat? That is the question. I’m betting that a lot of people who are trying to lose weight and increase their fitness level may feel a sense of guilt or mental tug-of-war if they go off their nutrition plan to have a special […]

  • Kick the Craving Trap

    By Raphael | In Motivation, Nutrition | on January 19, 2012

    “Just do it.” I’ve said many times that those words are what will get you to your goal. Errr, but then we’re also dealing with real life, real people, real stress and real problems. According to the latest report from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 3 adults is obese. So it […]

  • What Diets and Nutrition Have In Common: Very Little

    By Raphael | In Nutrition | on September 15, 2011

    Go ahead. Google the next latest and greatest diet of the century. Soup diet, Cookie diet, maybe a grapefruit every hour on the hour diet, take your pick. Have you ever considered that this stuff isn’t effective? That it’s nothing more than a marketing scheme? What you need is a completely different approach. An approach […]

  • Fad Diets: Just Don’t

    By Raphael | In Nutrition | on August 17, 2011

    Disgust. Impatience. Roll of the eyes. That sums up my reaction to fad diets. I can’t stand them and I think they’re utterly ridiculous. A nutrition plan for life (notice I use the words for life) should not eliminate all types of food groups. Any fad diet that asks you to eat only one source […]
