Nourish Your Muscles, Lose The Fat

Losing weight is great but if you want to do so in the healthiest way possible, body fat is where it’s at.

When you embark on a weight loss journey, it’s almost guaranteed that you will be saying “Bon Voyage!” to some muscle mass and for women over fifty, that’s a recipe for disaster. You can counteract this phenomenon by losing weight slowly, eating an adequate number of calories, while pumping up your protein intake, and working out. The goal with any weight loss plan is to lose fat and maintain as much lean mass, or muscle, as possible.

5 Reasons To Love Your Inner Critic Healthy

We all hear it—that voice in our head that feels compelled to judge every single thing we do.

But oddly, all that judgment grew out of our conscious and unconscious memories of fear and failure from childhood on.

Think You’re Ready To Shed The Fat? You Might…

Everyone who ever started a weight loss program thought they were ready to lose weight. They came to terms with how much they disliked the body they were living in and they declared themselves ready to kick it to the curb and get healthy.

So why do so many of us fail? Fact is, most of us dive into weight loss fueled by self-loathing and/or poor body image and not necessarily ready to actually lose the weight.
