It’s Your Fat Content!

I’m nearing 20 years of personal training and without a doubt the largest macro-nutrient responsible for the weight crisis in this country is fat. Replace high fat foods with Organic Vegetables, Organic Fruits, (very lean) Proteins (little to no red meat), various Grains, Legumes and supplement with a high quality Essential Fatty Acid (Omega 3) product. Simplify your food! The more complex and copious the ingredients in your meals, the more room for excess calories, fat and various toxins to sneak into your diet. Read your labels carefully. Know the ingredients in your food. Eat out less often… and keep your foods simple and as nature designed them.
