WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU PLATEAU ON YOUR WEIGHT-LOSS PLAN? When we start a new diet regimen we certainly want it to be a healthy lifestyle rather than just a fad diet where you gain the weight back quickly. But what if you feel stuck? . . . You’ve been eating clean and watching your daily caloric intake while exercising, and you were losing weight pretty steadily the first few weeks –and now nothing??? Well remember that our bodies are like human calculators . . . keeping track of the calories we eat every day, and many of us get in that rut of eating the same thing at the same time every day. Think about varying your macronutrients. For example, if you normally have an egg-white omelet with spinach every morning with a slice of whole grain toast, change things up. Make yourself a healthy meal-replacement shake and include healthy ingredients like low-fat milk or almond milk as your base – and then add a scoop of protein powder along with a handful of baby spinach — and include a small handful of blueberries and a banana. It is also helpful to add a Tablespoon of a healthy fat like flax oil. You will gaining awesome nutrition and shaking things up on your diet so that your body gets “unstuck”. It also helps if you change around your mid-morning snack and mid-afternoon snack. Try not to eat the exact same thing every day. One, two or even three days in a row is o.k. if you have your favorite things you want to have – but swapping out starches like bread or pasta or rice and replacing it with fibrous carbs like vegetables is also a great strategy to try. And let’s not forget how important WATER is for weight-loss. It helps flush out excess fats and toxins and keeps the metabolism running smoothly. Shoot for 90-128 ounces per day. It may seem like a lot, but if you are aiming high, you have a much better chance of reaching at least 90 oz. Lastly, fat is burned by our bodies and eliminated through our sweat, our lungs/breath and also our bladder and colon (waste). So just think . . . if you are moving MORE with daily exercise, you will reach your goals sooooooo much faster. Even if you are new to exercise or maybe it’s been a while since you’ve exercised, participating in a 20-minute beginner exercise video on Demand or on YouTube will become so critical to your success. We’re moving MORE and eating less . . . Summer bodies are made in the winter, so let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!! Need some guidance, call me: Hillarie 908-403-7620. I can help you map out a plan for success with your diet and exercise regimen.
CLIENT HIGHLIGHT: ROB FIORENTINO – Walked-On @ Kansas University and is lighting up the field!: Rob Fiorentino of Somerville (pictured above) had been playing football since he was 5 years old (flag football) – He moved onto tackle football in 3rd grade and ALWAYS had dreams of playing college football and even onto the playing in the NFL. Well many kids say that, but are they willing to put in all the hard work it takes to get there? Rob definitely is! So Rob came to me for sports nutrition back when he was in 8th grade, as he wanted to add some muscle to his body heading into his freshman year of high school football. And he did just that. He was compliant when we outlined his nutrition, whether it was to use protein supplementation and healthier snacks to pack on quality calories – or even if it meant getting more sleep so his body had the recovery it needed to grow. He had an amazing high school football career as a running back & cornerback, along with being on special teams. Rob had lots of Division 3 offers to play football in college, but his heart was set on a Division 1 school . . . Kansas University in Particular. So he sent his football highlights NUMEROUS times to the coaches at Kansas University, and they finally weeded through hundreds of athletes’ films to get to Rob’s. They invited him out for a visit. So freshman year of college Rob was invited as a “Preferred Walk-on” @ Kansas University . . . He was now a Jayhawk! He wasn’t sure he would see much playing time, but he would patiently wait for the opportunity and always kept his body and his nutrition “game ready”. Well not only did Rob get playing time, but the coaches want him to come back next year as more of a hybrid position Fullback/Running Back. And again, he was told he should put on a little more muscle for this position – and this is what brought him back to !MPACT Training. Although Kansas University offers sports nutrition, Rob felt comfortable knowing he was successful working with me the first time. So Rob and his mom, Marcia, came to me for an updated sports nutrition appointment, and we set the stage for an increase in lean muscle mass and supplementation to match his rigorous training. I don’t think I have ever met a young man with more determination and belief in what he could accomplish. I wanted to highlight Rob because he never gave up, even when other colleges turned him away. He believed . . . he trained hard . . . followed a structured nutrition program . . . and kept pursuing his dream. Congrats Rob! I’m so excited to see what next season brings at Kansas! Go Jayhawks!
