As a nutritionist, I'm frequently asked questions about diet. With so much information out there on what to eat and what not to eat, it's easy to get caught up in gimmicks that preach fast, easy weight loss. Is there a quick fix pill out there that will make you drop the pounds instantly with no work? I sure haven't found it yet, but I will tell you that watching what you eat and keeping an active lifestyle are sure-fire ways to get, or stay, in shape.
Are you guilty of saying this?
Just tell me what to eat so I can lose weight
My genes make me fat
Does eating fat make me fat?
How many times per day should I eat?
I don't have time to cook all this fancy organic healthy stuff
Why can my friend eat whatever they want and never get fat?
How long should I wait to go swimming after I eat?
Every time I lose a little weight I gain it and more back faster than I lost it.
I just can't resist sweets
Are any of those gimmicks I see online or on TV really going to help me be healthier?
When I started I couldn't even do five pushups. Now it's not a problem to do. That's how it's different. You've got somebody right there that is a trained professional that knows what they're doing, so you're not treated like a client you're actually treated like family.

I saw my muscle mass increasing and saw my body fat decreasing. They called it semi-private training, but it's a whole lot more than that. If you're on the fence, this is an investment in your future, in your relationships, all of it.

I lost 6.4 percent body fat and gained 3 pounds of muscle and that was just outstanding for that short period of time. So having good coaches that are knowledgable is good.
