The amount of knowledge fitness professionals have about eating for weight loss that long time dieters don't is much less then you might think. If you've been trying to lose weight for years, or even decades, you know the mechanics of most “if not all” of the popular diets. Plus, you have hands on experience on how each of the plans you’ve tried to follow have fit into your day-to-day life, which is most important.

Know what screws up everyone’s perception of how weight loss should go? Those magical first few months of starting back on a fitness routine.

The problem is we get driven by the drop on the scale.

Hey there. There’s a phrase I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. You are what you create. It sounds simple, but it really gets to the heart of how we live day-to-day. If you're not happy with where you are or how you're feeling, it's time to take a closer look at your habits, your environment, and your actions.

Hey there. We all get caught up in the little things. Whether it’s tracking calories, a tough workout, or a stressful situation at work, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed in the moment. But if you step back and ask yourself, “Is this really going to matter in a few years?” you might realize that a lot of the things we stress over aren’t as big as they seem.
