LETS TALK DIETS AND PROGRAMS
WANT TO START OF SAYING SORRY ITS BEEN AGES GUYS.
As a health and fitness professional it is hard to keep up with all the new DIETS and crazes, you have to read continually and research NEVER stops. So Part of being good at your profession is that you can distinguish what’s basically a load of crap and what COULD actually work for some clients.
There is so many let’s talk about a few:
Ashy Bines "clean eating plan" - the latest of the ones going around in OZ at the moment. It is basically the same idea as "body trim" Cut out almost all carbohydrates, sugars, and processed food etc and only eat FRESH-MADE FROM SCRATCH food.
The benefit with the ashy bines is that there is a massive net work of support facebook page where you can discuss your progress, swap recipes, get motivation, and give motivation. And she also has cardio classes all over OZ. Just quietly I had of wish I started up something like the "ashy bines" lifestyle eating plan.
Then there are all the diets where you have to count calories and you have a daily calories intake. This works for people that that way over eat and have no idea. It makes people accountable for what they put in their mouths- in saying that a food diary will basically do the same thing. I make all my clients do a food diary for a few "normal" days so we can sit down and go through it and it is amazing how much people actually SNACK and don’t realize.
Organization is the key to eating well- if you are un-organized and have nothing ready you end up eating something processed, quick and easy which is normally full of FAT, CARBS, or sugar or ALL.
THE BIGGEST THING IS TO JUST START NOW!!!!! NOT ON MONDAY :)
iM ABOUT TO DO SOME REASERCH ON A BOOK "EAT STOP EAT" I WILL GIVE YOU REVIEWS NEXT :)

Body Trim is basically the same eat only fresh food, no carbs, high protein, and also does the same measuring no scales, and walking as you exercise to start with. He gives you some pretty good simple recipes in his book!

Things like weight watchers is OK, but YOU need to learn how to prepare your own healthy low fat fresh healthy food, how long are you going to be on weight watchers? Forever? NO! So as soon as you come off it you go back to your old ways and eat like you did when you got fat or UN healthy!
Look to sum it up is that it is really easy, I don’t think you need to pay someone to tell you how to eat healthy, you know what good eating is, low fat, low or no processed foods, and lots of fresh foods. MOVE GET OF YOUR BUTT - IF YOU DIDNT KNOW THIS YOU MUST NOT HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL.
It’s a good idea to get a trainer, to push you to your limits and to be accountable to someone. Everyone is different, different things work for different people!
