What is better for weightloss?

Hey guys just wanted to share with you some research that I am reading this morning as I drink my delicious cup of coffee.
The research article that that I am reading about talks about weight loss and how it is better achieved when comparing exercise alone and dietary fat intake alone. So basically the outcome shows that for both women and men restricting fat intake was more effective than increasing exercise. Women don't lose weight with exercise alone...So it says. Men do get weight loss benefits with exercise alone. Weightloss is greater for women who increase their workout substantially or even moderately, and again this is with restricted fat intake. Men on the other hand who are restricting their dietary fat intake and increase their exercise receive a small weight loss benefit if at all. Interesting huh? Trust me reading this research article is no easy task, I had to dissect all the fluff they add to it. I literally had to write down on a sheet of paper women's results vs. Men's in plain English so I could better understand this "caca" myself.

So what does all of this mean? I say exercise and eat healthier because again they are just talking about weight loss, not your body composition. In other words, they don't talk about the inches that you lose, nor the change in body fat %, nor how you feel. Both men and women will see a change in their body if they eat better and exercise more. Or you could chose to exercise more efficiently;) that's why soon I will have out my Get Fit in Six audio CD course. I will teach you how to exercise in less than half of the time you spend working out and with even better results! Woo Hoo!

Anyways,

Gotta go workout now.

Take Care.

Mother's Day...An excuse to eat!



Yes, it was Mother's Day yesterday. Happy belated Mother's Day to all the moms out there. But, since it was Mother's Day that means that it was really family day. Therefore, it was more likely to be a family celebration. At least in my case it was because my Mom had a BBQ at her place and I ate things that I normally would not eat, such as cheetos, "pastelitos", and a burger. So this means that I have to shape up this week. I will most certainly get back on my regular eating habbits and probably even take out 200 calories such as my almond butter that I normally put on my Ezequiel bread. I will also stick in an aditional 30 min of circuit training like what I do in my Get Fit in Six class, which involves a very intense full body workout. Oh, by the way, soon you will be able to do the same because I am coming out with my Get Fit in Six Audio CD course soon! I'll let you know more details later.

I encourage you to do something a little extra this week so that way you don't set yourself back from all your hard work. Add 15 min extra to your workout if you have to. No biggie. Don't beat yourself up about it, just do something about it.

Best Always,

Coach Yari
