NEW DIET!! CHECK IT OUT!!

HEY! Now that i have your guys attention with my diet gimmick, I will take advantage of your time and tell you something you NEED TO HEAR!

This new diet does not have any measurements to it. Nor does it have certain foods that you can and cannot have. This diet is longer than 12 weeks and this diet doesnt have PAIN written all over it!

I think I feel a sense of FRUSTRATION! after another diet!

This diet is PAIN FREE! Yea you heard me! Its called the lifestyle diet. You know, ( no you dont know thats why i am telling you :P) the diet that you will have for your WHOLE LIFE!

I suggest you start paying more attention to the lifestyle change than the 30 day DIET! that will get you lean and RIPPED just for summer! WRONG!! I am sure after the diet they tell you how to eat normal right?

Ok ok, enough of me lecturing the hell out of you with negative energy. But seriously, you need to start thinking about the long haul and how to manage your eating in a more REALISTIC way. truth is we are all in for the quick result. That is normal and i am not harping anyone for it but if you are on a diet right now and are really dreading it, guess what? You will NEVER maintain it! The result you get will be gone in no time and your back left not knowing what in the heck to do!

All i am saying is if you are on some sort of a diet, expect your results to be short term. Unless my client is going away somewhere an the result is for a short term goal then a specialized eating plan is the way to go.

Lifestyle eating or yo yo dieting? I would say a bit of both

If your plan is to be healthier and reduce your bodyfat, make it a consistent goal. Realize that consistency and persistence is the name of the game. There are no shortcuts in this game. Just realizing that you want to make a better impact in your life and on your self.

In the end, start looking for a more long term approach. Once you have hit a stage where you are comfortable at the weight your at but would like to look better at certain times, then i recommend some sort of strict eating regimen.

Erics advice: Start looking for a long term approach to eating. Find a happy medium where you can enjoy the foods you like and still make a big difference in the long haul. I am not saying to expect a result of 1-2lbs a month but the moment you start to feel DEPRIVED of food then you have lost. It is not a lifestyle approach to eating and your bound to fall off the bandwagon sooner or later.

Don't let this be you! Your wasting your time and money!

Take my advice, i have seen way to many people that say they went on a diet and they are here with me looking for another one. Its not going to happen! Lets work together to find moderation! When the time is needed we pull out the TRU BODY TRANSFORMATION EATING PLAN and get down to extreme levels of low Body Fat! But let me tell you, its not something you can do for the rest of your life. GUARANTEED!

I hope this article has given you the hints and tips you need to start focusing on long-term eating and strategic "dieting". Dont waste your time on the next diet, focus on what you know is RIGHT!

Lose fat- eat less
gain weight- eat more
gain muscle- work out
gain muscle and fat- workout and eat lots
gain muscle and lose fat- eat less and workout

Just about sums it up :P

Enjoy the rest of the week everyone!

PS. For anyone looking for a lifestyle approach to eating and would like some help, i am offering nutritional consultations for anyone interested. This will help get you on the right track to a healthier and better you!

ATTENTION ALL RUNNERS: BAREFOOT RUNNING??

Well well well, happy hump day everyone!

I thought i would post a blog all about Barefoot Running! Although i am not a huge advocate on running, at the end of the day most of us do it in every day life whether we feel we do it or not. Also, a lot of people REALLY enjoy running. Some say its the runners high, some say it makes them sweat alot and that is the feeling of getting into better shape. Nonetheless, it needs to be addressed in a manner in which is most beneficial for us.

When it comes to running (jogging, sprinting, Long walks etc) we mostly think of the sidewalk or treadmill runs we are all used to seeing everyone perform. The first thing someone thinks about when they want to "get back into shape" is either running or a walk. Now i cannot say this is a terrible choice, it is still a choice for someone to get off there butts and start making a better an improvement into the way they move. The only big problem with walking/running is most people do not understand how important it is to be READY for running/walking. I wish it was as simple as putting a pair of your old kicks on and going for a 5k stroll.

When it comes to getting ready for running their are many factors we must look at for the health and safety of your joints and RESULTS.

First, you must make make sure your gait is in correct order. Now i am not a foot specialist but i do know that one must make sure they are placing the proper weight distribution on their feet when running or walking (especially the runners!). I would strongly suggest seeking out a foot specialist or someone that can help you understand more about the bio mechanics of the foot before just running erratically. We must understand that the foot is the first contact with the ground and if it is not contacting the ground properly you could be putting sheer force on your tendons,ligaments and joints rather than the supporting muscles. Judging by 90% of the population i am almost sure you stand more on the insides of your foot and less on the outsides. If this is you then you MUST be careful when running/walking. This is a DISASTER waiting to happen!

If you would like more in depth information about running and the foot please go to my buddies website and check out the following articles he has laid out! These articles are all on Barefoot running because that is exactly what we are meant for. The information in these articles are IN DEPTH and a little hard to understand at some points. They sure do get the message across though!

I also have a video that i thought was very interesting! I am sure you will like it! Although running seems so easy we must make sure we are fully aware of how to run to fully maximize our results and decrease our potential for injury.

I am sure with all of the above information you will find yourself running long and alot more pain free. With repetitive motion such as running we must make sure we are following it up with proper stretching and FACIAL release. The biggest one we must look out for is the IT Band. This is a big sheath of fascia attached to the side of your hip down to your knee. Unfortunately, running causes pressure on this sheath of fascia and increases pressure on the joints.

The big take home point in this article is to not take walking/running lightly and make sure you find some professional help before you decide to take on a program for this kind of activity!!

I hope this article helps build awareness and maybe everyone will be able to run or walk with a bit less pain and a lot more effectiveness.
