When it comes to fat loss, I have my own personal hierarchy of what should be prioritized in order to see success and sleep is near the top of the list! Not only is getting enough sleep essential to our body functioning properly, but it can have significant effects on our fat loss efforts. Let’s […]
“Eat Clean to be Lean” Or whatever other phrase along those lines you’ve heard. Fat loss has been associated with only eating “good clean foods” and staying away from all “bad foods”. Contrary to what most people are led to believe, there are no such things as “clean foods” or “dirty foods”, or good foods […]
“Eating at night will yield to weight gain” I cannot tell you how many times I have had clients ask me if they are allowed to eat at night, or if eating at night will cause rapid weight gain. Eating at night, eating after 6pm, or whatever version of this “old wives’ tale” you’ve heard is […]
Stress whether mental or physical, can wreak havoc on the mind and body.

Food cravings and dieting can sometimes go hand in hand. Its like the minute you start a a diet, you start thinking about all this food you “can’t have” and it only makes your desire for it grow stronger. Changing your mindset about food and dieting is the easiest way to manage any and all […]
Diet breaks are an important element to any long term fat loss plan. Simply put, a diet break is a planned break from eating in a calorie deficit. When on a diet break, your overall food intake will be similar to a maintenance level (amount of food required for your body weight to stay as […]
Most people on a fat loss journey tend to focus mainly on the scale for progress and results. I always encourage my nutrition client and regular clients to look beyond the scale, since the scale can easily cause frustration since it doesn’t always seem to cooperate.
