Why you Can't loose Weight?

After endless research on the nutritional content of Restaurants I have come to the conclusion that we are all under an impression that some things are healthy but they really aren't.  I have a Job shadower this week named Madeline and she researched all of the top Restaurants in the area. 

CANES - Yeah we all know so lets not get into it.  Why not?  Box combo -1100 Calories.  1500 mg of sodium.

Mac donalds Chicken Nuggets- 460 cal. - 1000mg of sodium

Taco Bell - soft Taco - 200 cal with 500 mg sodium

Chic fil a - Chargrilled Chicken sandwich - 290 cal with 780 mg of sodium

Mc Allisters - Grilled Chicken Sandwich - 680 cal with 1170 mg sodium.

Now some of these are thought to be healthy option and although they are definitely healthier than other menu items, they will not help you loose weight.

TOO MUCH SODIUM!!!
Sodium causes weight retention and most successful weight programs work because there is less sodium.  RediFit Meals just opened in Lafayette La and the only complaints i have been hearing is that it is bland.  My reaction is our taste buds are too salt laden.  We should be consuming less sodium. The average american consumes 4000 mg /day.  The daily recommendation of sodium is closer to 2000 and 1500 for American 50 and over.  The problem is after our research we found that there are very few menu items anywhere that are less that 1000 mg of sodium.  Decrease your sodium intake and loose the weight!

SOLUTION:  Prepare your own meals! and DO YOUR RESEARCH

What you don't know hurts you everyday!

Knowledge is POWER!

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT YOU!   FALSE

If you do not know how to exercise it is preventing you from results and reaching optimum health.

If you don't know that the "healthy" meals are not really healthy, you don't realize those meals and forcing your body to store Fat not burn it.

I went on a supermarket tour and learned a great deal about cooking and shopping ideas. Knowledge about snacks and meal preparation is key to Fit Life success.

Get educated on how you suppose to live. Yes all the weight loss programs and supplements are effective if you can live your entire life on them but in most cases it is not feasible. The Fit Life works best works where health and wellness is your #1 priority. Exercise is consistent and there is a conscience about eating. And most importantly, always try to learn more about your body and how this lifestyle fits in your life.

Live it! Love it! Fit Life!

Fit Life or Fat Life? YOUR CHOICE

To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  Newton's Law of Motion

This also pertains somewhat to Fit Life.  For every workout, your body has a reaction, building muscle and burning fat in response to your workout.  When you stimulate your muscle, your body builds the muscle to handle the stimulus.  This is the reason why if you do not modify your workouts you hit a plateau.  But if you live the FAT Life and have no ACTION (exercise), there is also a reaction.  With no Action, you become weaker, losing muscle and packing on FAT.  You must keep your body burning fat!

Overall this is your choice. You have no excuse!

Fit Life - Exercise  
Fat Life - Don't Exercise
