Comment on The Growing Problem Of Obesity by Amy @ Flex Belt

I never knew improper sleep patters was a cause of obesity, that was an interesting tidbit i had never known before. I think unhealthy dieting is definitely the main contributor, when i look at peoples food going through the conveyer belt at the supermarket and i can’t help but nod my head. Keep for you cupboards and your fridge stocked with healthy food and you won’t have any choice but to eat healthy at home that’s what really got me to lose a lot of my weight and kick start my healthy lifestyle.

It is so good to see articles about obesity and I’m hoping that this becomes a trend — helpful articles, not the “push yourself away from the table” stuff — often uttered by people who are naturally thin…sigh…

FYI — Gary Taubes has written two great books on this in the past few years. I highly recommend them.
Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat. Check them out. And no, I have no connection with him! I just love his books…

I’m glad you enjoyed my post Ina. When it comes to my clients relationship with food, some are successful in embracing and mastering the art of sports nutrition, while others continue to struggle. I have learned not to force my nutritional habits and philosophies on those who aren’t ready to hear it.

I am a resource for those who really want to change but for those who aren’t committed, there’s nothing I can say or do that will save them. For those people, I use a high frequency of exercise to overcome nutritional barriers. They will still reach their weight loss goals but these people will likely never experience the benefits of solid nutrition mamagment. They are too preoccupied with things that don’t really matter. I beleive that a lack of time is really just a lack of priorities.

I do coach them and try to get them on track but I can’t make somebody want to do something that they won’t do. I also have a screening process that helps me eliminate prospects who aren’t serious about change and it works in most cases. I try not to get involved with those individuals. Working with them makes me “emotionally eat”.

Hi Craig, Love how thorough your blog posts are… great advice and great dispelling of “popular myths”. I work with clients who use food to deal with stress. Emotional Eating can be a real saboteur when it comes to fitness and maintaining healthy weight. What’s your experience with clients changing their relationship to food? Are exercise and nutritional advice and encouragement enough? Would love to hear your opinion

Great article thanks for sharing! Just remember that when hiring a personal trainer, the personal trainer cost shouldn’t be your only guideline! Be smart and safe and reach your goals!

Thanks for your kind words Mac. I’m glad your benefiting from my posts because that’s why I write them. I don’t have to, but I think it’s important for people to fully understand the fundementals of weight loss. Everyone’s got an excuse why they can’t lose weight or they subscribe to bogus novelty diets, simply because they don’t understand the basic principles of weight loss and how to apply it.

Congratulations on your success. You’re right, it’s never too late to lose the weight. One of my more recent clients has lost 80 lbs at age 57. He had been morbidly obese most of his life. He’s practically reborn now.

Best of luck maintaining your positive habits that helped you become successful.
Craig
