• Don’t Get Fooled by Fad Diets

    Successfully Change Your Eating Routine Instead

    Brian Roberts Your Central Mass Fat Loss Coach Here…

    We are inundated with diet books, weight loss programs, and magazines touting the latest Hollywood diets. Not to mention that Google searches on ‘diet for weight loss’ return over 300 million results! This is why fad diets can seem like an attractive option for the majority of people who do not educate themselves on healthy eating regimes.

    The scientific definition of a fad diet is: “Any of a number of weight-reduction diets that either eliminate one or more of the essential food groups, or recommend consumption of one type of food in excess at the expense of other foods. Fad diets rarely follow sound nutritional principles for weight loss, which focus on ingesting fewer calories and/or consuming more energy through exercise; fad diets are generally not endorsed by the medical profession.”

    This is the link to one article we found that gives an idea about some fad diets out there and another link to a fad diet timeline.

    Despite best intentions, most people have an extraordinarily hard time dropping those extra 5, 10, or 20 pounds – and even more trouble keeping pounds off. It’s not because we aren’t hard-working, smart, or have self-control. Keeping weight off is one thing that’s perpetually difficult. Weight loss and fat loss comes down to basic biology. Your body, programmed by evolution to survive famines, doesn’t like to be given less food. When you diet, it assumes there’s a famine and hangs on to every fat cell it can. The more you diet, the more resistant your body becomes to losing weight. So instead of going for that quick weight loss, you’re more likely to succeed by making small diet and exercise changes that will produce more lasting effects. The good news here it that you don’t need to spend a lot of money, join a fancy gym, avoid your favorite foods, have special meals delivered or buy another diet book.

    Here at Central Mass Fat Loss, we don’t want you to get fooled by those excellent marketing and branding tools they use to attract interest. Instead, we teach you about portion sizes and healthy eating routines as discussed in a previous blog post: Healthy Eating and Portion Sizes and we give you that 1-1 attention for your individualized program to ensure that you are successful. We make sure that we’re assessing what nutrients YOUR body needs and what minerals will assist YOU in burning fat.

    If you ever have any questions or need any advice, don’t hesitate to touch base with us.

    Get in contact with us here to set up a consultation with us.

    You will be amazed at what we bring to the table!

  • Benefits of a Couples Fat Loss Program

    Brian Roberts Your Central Mass Fat Loss Coach Here…

    If you’re thinking about embarking on a new, healthy lifestyle with your significant other (or even a friend that’s a great accountability partner), then you’ll want to pay close attention to the information below.

    Before I get into what Central Mass Fat Loss offers, I will share some overall benefits to “couples” who take on the challenge together.

    You’ll have an in-house support system –

    Countless studies have shown that support from others is an important part of success, which is why having a built-in support network is one of the biggest perks to losing fat as a couple. For example, when one person doesn’t feel like working out or is tempted to over-indulge, the other person can push them harder and remind each them that they’ll regret it if they give into those temptations. Going grocery shopping and going out to dinner is easier when done together to help each other make healthy choices, as you’ll be sharing the same food and saving money in the long run.

    Your relationship can become a priority again –

    When you and your significant are working together to accomplish something, you’re essentially bonding — maybe in a way you haven’t before. Maybe you’ve been so busy with kids, grandkids, work, life, etc. and haven’t spent a lot of time together lately. Now that you’ve made this decision for a healthier lifestyle, you’ll cook together, eat together, and work out together. It’s inevitably going to bring you closer and possibly add benefits of getting along more and being even happier together.

    Someone’s Gonna Lose It First (And this is a GOOD Thing) –

    Men tend to lose weight faster than women, and for the woman, seeing him lose first can be inspiration that it’s going to happen for her soon. And if it doesn’t happen, well that can motivate her to step up her game to catch up.

    So to sum it up, sharing this experience together is twice as easy and less work — but twice the reward!

    Our couples have not had one complaint and trust us on regular follow-ups, twice the smiles….

  • Weight Loss vs Fat Loss

    Crash Diets vs. Correct Nutrition

     

    Brian Roberts, your Central Mass Fat Loss Coach here …

    People talk about how they want to lose weight, but the truth is … what they should really want to do is LOSE FAT.

    Anyone can lose weight. All you have to do is stop eating (please don’t do that – that is what most of those unhealthy crash diets have you do). The point is that yes, you will lose weight, but the weight you lose will be muscle, fat, bone, water, and every other part of your body in an unhealthy fashion. This is reason why it comes back…

    The real goal for your “loss” journey should be to preserve as much muscle as possible, or possibly even gain some muscle mass, all while losing as much fat as possible. That way, you’re going to have a much improved body composition. Central Mass Fat loss will accomplish this and we will share how.

    What I tell my clients to do is STOP focusing on weight loss ( that is hard to do when your losing close to a pound a day, depending on commitment and personal health starting point) because that just leads to sabotaging any results you might have. And the scale is not the best and only judge of a healthier body. Instead, I give an individualized nutrition plan where the focus is on eating foods that are good for the body, and teaching them to change their eating and lifestyle routine. Once they have been on the program for a specific amount of time, I tell them to focus on how their clothes fit and feel, their strength, endurance, energy, and confidence levels. If these progress markers are improving over our short time and they’re feeling better about themselves, then that’s all the more reason to continue enthusiastically forward to reach our health and fat loss goals.

    Another key focus is on building muscle (and yes, it means that you might stay at the same weight for a short period of time, but that can actually be a sign that you are gaining muscle). Our clients typically lose 10 to 15 pounds in the first 21 days, than our bodies will start their adjustments. Our clients lose a very high percentage of fat during our 43 day program. After our first 43 days, we start on maintenance and we are having a really good time incorporating more activity, more foods and feeling really great.

    If you go into your journey with the right perspective and you optimize for fat loss and muscle preservation, your goal will be a lot easier to accomplish.

    In the end, your Fat loss experience will be more than you thought it would be… but the better picture is that you’ll be leaner, happier, stronger, more energized, eating better foods and more of it, and in a far better healthier frame of mind.

  • We Understand Your Frustration…

    We Give You the Game Plan to Stay in the Game

    Brian Roberts, your Central Mass Fat Loss Coach here…

    You’ve been true to a weight loss diet or program and maybe exercise regime. You’ve may have worked off some of the holiday pounds; your clothes fit a little looser, and healthy eating has become a little easier but you still have uncomfortable moments.

    The first big party event of the year threatens to undo all your good work and hard efforts — the get together with friends and family watching the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl!

    Don’t worry. You can enjoy a Super Bowl party without risking too much of your waistline with a few timely tips. For starters, don’t starve yourself the day of the party — you’ll probably just make up for it by overeating later on at the gathering. Instead, follow my suggestions below both BEFORE you head out the door, and DURING your get together.

    The odds of eating healthy will be in your favor if you follow my tips. (Odds, get it?)

    The Day of the Big Game, eat as if it was a normal day, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner…The food at the Big Game Party is still going to be there..

    Our first recommendation is to super hydrate. Yes, drink water.. lots of it, as long as you not allergic or have a medical condition prescribing not to drink water… We recommend half your weight in water ounces throughout the day. Try getting half of that in before noonish or 1Pm…
    Ex: 200lbs/2 = 100oz try getting about 50 ounces in before noon time..

    Water will help to increase your metabolism, help to detoxify your body, help your digestive system dissolve all those heavier foods possibly ingested later in the day.

    Our second recommendation: add some healthy veggies to normal eating meals during the day: broccoli, asparagus, cauliflowers, green beans, brussel sprouts…This will give your body the appropriate minerals and nutrients it will need and fill your belly up…let’s not be starved when we get to the festivities.

    Our third recommendation is to have a fruit with each normal meal of the day: a cup of pineapple, melon apple or an orange. These will help to decrease urgings for that extra piece of 7 layer chocolate cake or grabbing one too many cannoli’s or cheesecake.

    Our fourth recommendation: Get a vigorous walk in… or even better a good workout, if you’re physically able. This will get the blood flowing, oxygen into your system and a little time to ourselves before we take on a social engagement. It’s a social engagement, not a bad food eating contest…lol

    So, with that being said… I’ll end this with one very LAST idea:

    One of the nice things you can do for others and yourself is to offer to be the “RUNNING BACK” of your gathering… By this I mean that you’ll have better control over portion sizes and food selections if you serve yourself … and also offer to be the occasional food runner and bring back food for others (maybe even healthier choices for them too!). And in doing so, you get your body in motion to work off some of that food.

    So there ya go… Now you’ve got your Game Plan .. so go have fun and GO PATS!
