From the Desk of Coach Annie
There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to losing weight and keeping it off - each person is completely different. With all of the misinformation and fad diets out there, it is important to us that we provide factual, evidence based, science backed education that supports properly fueling your body, while attaining and maintaining the body composition you want.
It’s Okay to Eat the Carbs
We have countless clients who start working with us, and haven’t eaten a baked potato in YEARS. This is why we despise diet culture.
Adding this to your Diet is Crucial for Weight Loss
Studies show people who eat more fiber are more likely to lose more weight over a 12-week period (almost double the weight loss compared to those who didn’t eat fiber!).
Why the ‘All-or-Nothing’ Mentality Sucks
“I’ll start Monday”. How many times do you tell yourself that, after four beers and wings on Friday night?
Doing this Consistently will BOOST your Metabolism
When you focus only on intense cardio, you may see the scale drop, but what you don’t see is the loss of muscle that may be occurring. Losing muscle slows your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and slows your metabolism.
“Ugh, I Don’t Want to Track my Food!”
The best way to know how much you’re eating is to track it. Write it down, use an app, take pictures - we all have to start somewhere, and if you’re struggling with weight loss, this is a great place to start!
What Exactly is a Calorie Deficit?
When you choose whole and minimally processed foods, your overall food volume is greater, making it easier to eat in a calorie deficit.
Why Invest in All Day Coach?
Make sure who you’re working with walks the walk, talks the talk, and has the education to work with you to make sustainable body composition and lifestyle changes in YOUR life.
You Didn’t Gain Fat Overnight. We Promise. S*%ew The Scale.
Either weigh yourself every day, and compare averages each week to determine trends, or toss it out the window. And weigh yourself in the morning, after you use the restroom. Stop this weighing yourself throughout the day garbage.
Easy Way to Jump Start Fat Loss
We all have a cupboard dedicated to fancy water bottles and beverage tumblers - grab your favorite, fill it with water, and don’t leave home without it!
5 Reasons Why Sleep Supports Fat Loss
Doing all the right things, but your body isn’t changing? You may want to focus on getting more sleep.
Types of Processed Foods
Take the time to learn the different types of processed foods, and understand how you don’t have to eliminate them from your diet to make progress towards your body composition goals!
Sugar vs. Included Added Sugar
Know the difference between total sugars and included added sugars when focusing on losing fat and improving health.
Why fad diets don’t work. Period.
If you’ve struggled to lose the same weight, over and over again (while often gaining back MORE), you’re not alone and need to consider ditching quick fixes and trendy diets.
Trying to lose fat? Focus on this.
The average American eats far less protein per day that’s necessary to lose fat and maintain and build lean muscle mass.
