We have all been there; I know I have in the past. Had a crap day at work, had an argument with a partner, just feeling fat in general and you get home have that healthy dinner but then crave sugar, fat or alcohol or...
Why diet is a dirty word (in my opinion) When I hear the word diet, I immediately think of something short term, unsustainable, restrictive, depressing…the list goes on. They are notorious for being a quick fix that works well initially but will dismally fail at...
Here is the thing that many people, including a lot of trainers, overlook: diet. The single most important tool that you need in order to develop your abs is diet. Regardless of what you’ve heard, or what the latest hyped up fat loss pill promised...
I know my clients and friends find bikini and fitness comps a little strange and you know what.? I agree! I mean you spend weeks on end prepping, training super hard, eating a calorie controlled diet, spending thousands, to be on stage for a few...
You eat too much refined sugar. Eating added sugar will cause an insulin spike (which will make us very energetic) but then will take us back down to where we came from in no time at all. For some this can be a constant cycle...
GREAT question – and a lot of confusion about this topic. Eating at night does not cause weight gain – eating too many calories at night (or any other time during your waking hours) is what packs on the pounds. Many people do well with 3 meals, and 2 snacks each day – calorie controlled to keep you around a total of 1400-1600 calories (for weight loss it varies for each individual). While some people eat dinner, and are "done" for their eating day, many people like an evening snack.
I always advise people to allow for around 200 calories in the evening, if this is a time that you'd like to eat – but pay attention to the calories! Where "night eating" gets a bad rap is that many people skip meals, get overly hungry in the evening, and eat all night. That's not what we're talking about.
If you like to eat in the evening, pre-plan your snack for that time of day. Good luck! Let me know how you're doing!
