I do not do this any longer as a profession, but if anyone wants a push in the right direction, I'd be happy to help at no charge. Getting back to my old self has saved me in so many ways. Happy to help others as well. It would be at 24 hour fitness across from Del Amo mall and you would either need to join or get guest passes. I know a lot of people there so I can assist with either.

Cutting out alcohol (for the most part) has helped clean up my diet immensely. Dropped an immediate 10 pounds, although I don't necessarily consider weight loss a barometer of success, I know it was good weight loss as I cut the useless calories of alcohol and also found my self discipline on snacking to be much much better. I will enjoy a nice glass of wine when dining out but just don't bring any alcohol home with me. Was a rough 1st week but once the habit was broken, I rarely even think about it. Plus it helped me rediscover my ab muscles. Not all the way there but closing in on where I want to be. Small positive changes over long periods of time will win this game. Patience and consistency.

Anyone who has ever trained with me knows that the scale is one of my biggest pet peeves in the gym. The scale does not differentiate between fat and muscle and I find it funny that people have "target" weights without any talk of losing fat and gaining lean muscle. Are you sure you know what your target weight is?

If you don't put in the work, don't look for the results.

It's amazing how much a small positive change can make such a big difference over time. Challenge yourself to make one positive small change per month and stick to it....stairs instead of elevator, water instead of soda, no carbs or fat late at night, 1 drink at night instead of 2, smaller portions in each meal, give up chips/cookies, a nice walk twice a week etc. With all else being equal, the results over time will shock you.

Suffer the pain of discipline or pain of regret.....you cant have it both ways.

Results are the aftermath of hard work and commitment (consistency over time). Dont worry about results, worry about your routine and sticking to it and the results will be there.

We all have limited energy. Between work, kids, hard workouts etc., we have to manage our energy accordingly. Every bad meal we eat requires energy to work off those calories, leaving less energy to work off the already existing fat. You hear people say,"I'll run it off later" which can be true but if you are constantly using your precious energy to work off bad meals, my guess is you will not the extra energy to work off the bottom line and improve. Give yourself one meal a week to splurge (and you will enjoy this meal 10 times more) and use the rest of the week to kick ass and get results.

Side note....Sugar craves sugar. The more you eat the more you crave it. Break the cycle and the cravings will stop and the fat will soon be gone.

Yesterday I was overwhelmed with how much BAD weight loss information is out there. If the first step in your diet/health goals is not about building or maintaining lean muscle, I dont like your chances. Cant tell you how many people I see that are all proud they have lost 20+ pounds but they look so weak they can barely stand and they have loose skin everywhere. Do it slow, do it right. Build the lean muscle and burn the fat and the results will be a lean, athletic muscle. DO NOT be afraid of fats and carbs....just get them in earlier in the day and in moderation and THEN cut them out at night. Carbs are your brain power and energy and fats are vital for your organs. We need both of these or you will end up very sick. I have seen it over and over by people I know. Balance, moderation and hard work....leave the shortcuts and BS diets for someone that doesnt want the results.

Feed the hunger, fight the cravings. Pretty simple concept but this is where most people lose their health goals. Eat 6-8 small balanced meals per day. Plan them out ahead of time. Get the fats and carbs in early in moderation then cut em out at night. Try to have these small meals range from 200-300 calories. If after this meal you are craving more, fight it and wait for next small meal. Your body and stomach will adjust after a few days and these cravings will go away. You will turn your body into a high metabolism fat burning machine and you will be constantly protecting your muscle tissue meaning the body will burn fat for energy. Because you are spreading the meals out and making them small, you are giving your body a better chance of burning the calories you are eating and thus reducing chance of your calories turning to fat.

These are my main workout supplements (Glumatic and vitamins not pictured). I will describe each in comments and of course I get em all at Nutrishop. Matter of fact, he carries two of them because of me and my clients.

In the previous post of "must haves", If your protein powders/drinks do not have BCAA's or glutamine than these become must haves. These amino acids are critical to the recovery (muscle growth) process. Now on to what I would consider luxury items based upon money concerns. Also, I realize supplements change based upon goals and all of my training posts will always be about building lean muscle and burning fat.

Luxury Items - Carnitine (helps body use stored fat for energy), any combo of agmatine sulfate, glycocarn or arginine (these convert to the all important Nitric Oxide which improves blood flow and more nutrients to muscles among other things. Arginine is probably most well-known but leasteffective of 3), creative (best supplement for building muscle), caffeine or other fat burners (many out there and they speed up metabolism and well....burn fat) and CLA (promotes muscle growth and fat burning).

I may have forgot a few and will add in comments but I will also list the exact products I take.
