Time to crush 2 more nutrition myths and prove to you that you caneat your favorite foods while losing fat.
Fitness Trainers Dallas Nutrition Myth #1 - Fruit Makes You Fat
This. Is. Ridiculous.
No one, and I repeat, NO ONE is fat because they eat too much fruit. As a Fitness Trainer in Dallas, I will tell you that this is ridiculous. You can eat fruit, veggies and almost anything in moderation.
Let's clear things up. Yes, fruit contains sugar. But fruit alsocontains fiber and water and fills you up for just a few calories.
Check out this calorie chart of our favorite fruits:
* 1 cup of cherries = 75 calories
* 1 medium apple = 75 calories
* 1 medium banana = 100 calories
* 1 cup blueberries = 80 calories
* 1 date = 25 calories
* 1 grapefruit = 80-100 calories
* 1 orange = 60 calories
* 1 peach = 40 calories
* 1 cup pineapple = 65 calories
* 1 cup strawberries = 45 calories
* 1 cup watermelon = 50 calories
So seriously, let's just say you ate that entire list...you're still only at about 750 calories.
Compare that to these common foods - the ones that really make us fat.
* Grande Iced Caffe Mocha = 200 calories
* Grande Caramel Frappuccino = 430 calories
* Starbucks Low Fat Blueberry Muffin = 430 calories (only 1g fiber!)
* Plain Bagel = 300 calories (2g fiber - whoop-de-doo!)
You see my point? And we're worrying about "fruit making us fat"?
Sheesh.
Whooooaaa, don't eat that 75 calorie apple, you might get fat!(Note: Sarcasm)
Heck, there are days this summer when I've had:
* 1/2 a watermelon
* 2 apples
* 1/2 cup blueberries
* 1/2 cup strawberries
* 2 peaches
* 5 dates
* 2 bananas
* 1 pear
And you can see from my Facebook photos that fruit isn't making mefat.
So the myth that fruit makes you fat is a joke. The truth is thatfruit is healthy for you and fills you up and helps you LOSE fat.
Fitness Trainers Dallas Nutrition Myth #2 - You can't eat delicious foods while losing fat
This is not true. However, "delicious" is a subjective term, right?
So what I might think is awesome (natural peanut butter sandwicheson flax bread with blueberries), might be your idea of boredom.
You do not have to give up your favorite foods completely when youare on a fat loss program.
Now I'm not going to lie and say you can eat whatever you want, andhowever much you want, every meal and every day.
You just need to harness the power of portion control and improvethe overall quality of your diet, and you'll still be able to get alean and sexy body this summer with your favorite foods.
So keep your nutrition SIMPLE. Focus on whole, natural foods andlimit high-calorie, high-sugar foods to just a couple of treats perweek. Combine that with your favorite Turbulence Training workouts and you'll lose fat fast.

Dallas Personal Trainer Ready to crush some nutrition myths?
I get extreme nutrition questions all the time. In fact, just yesterday I was asked about whether it was bad to eat carbohydratesand protein at the same time. I can't stand that type of obsessive-compulsive thinking. There's no reason to be worried about that kindof tiny detail.
So here are two nutrition myths I crushed while down in California hanging out with friends and celebrating my buddy Bedros Keuilian'sbirthday down over the weekend. (By the way, by ignoring thesemyths, I ate amazing meals and still didn't gain any fat!)
Dallas Personal Trainer Myth #1) You can't eat late at night
I blew that one out of the water on the first night I arrived. Myflight from Toronto to Orange County was at 6pm Thursday. I atebefore I went to the airport, and then aside from a few almonds onthe plane, I didn't eat until I arrived at 8pm California time.
So that's 5 hours past my normal dinner time.
But "nutrition experts" are going to tell me I can't eat now?
They are going to send me to bed without any supper?
Who do they think they are, some kind of evil villain from a MotherGoose nursery rhyme?
Some type of wicked step-mother nutrition witch, or something?
Well, I'll have my dinner whenever I want, thank you very much. Andif that means eating at 9pm, then that's when I'll eat.
The bottom line: It's not WHEN you eat, it's HOW MUCH you eat.
By the way, just to horrify these so-called nutrition experts evenmore, I even ordered a pizza when I ate at 9pm last Thursday. Thenagain, I ate dinner with Mr. Cheat Diet, Joel Marion...
Dallas Personal Trainer Myth #2) You must use protein shakes if you want to lose fat/gainmuscle
Survey says, "Wrong!"
There has never been a scientific study showing that you'll buildmuscle or burn fat better if you eat more than 1.8 grams of proteinper kilogram of bodyweight.
That translates to LESS than one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.
So yes, it's fine to round up to one gram per pound, BUT that ONLYworks if you are relatively lean.
If you are more than 20% fat, you do NOT need anywhere near onegram of protein per pound of bodyweight.
Let's say you're a 175 pound guy or a 145 pound woman with 20% fat.
At most, you'll need one gram per pound of LEAN body mass (that'syour total weight minus your fat weight).
So our man would need 140 grams of protein and our female wouldneed 115 grams of protein per day.
That is SO EASY to get through REAL FOOD that you don't need tosuck down the "swill" that nutrition stores sell you (aka - proteinpowder).
Just check out how much protein you get from REAL food:
* One cup of any dairy product = 8-10 grams of protein
* One ounce of meat =
7-10 grams of protein
* One ounce of fish = 6 grams of protein
* One egg = 7 grams of protein
* One cup of kidney beans or black beans = 15 grams of protein * One tbspn peanut butter = 4 grams of protein
* One slice of bread = 5 grams of protein (!)
So you see, you don't need bad-tasting powders when you can eatreal, delicious foods for all your protein needs.
Instead, keep your nutrition SIMPLE. Focus on whole, natural foodsand limit high-calorie, high-sugar foods to just a couple of treatsper week. Combine that with your favorite Turbulence Trainingworkouts and you'll lose fat fast.

Your Tummy Fat Could Be Killing You!
Dallas Tummy fat is on the rise. Some of us have it, others don't. Is there anything special about a big belly compared to a large bottom? Well, surprisingly, not all body fat is created equal! According to a study carried out by researchers from MacMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario it seems that gauging your heart attack risk depends on where your fat is, rather that how much tummy fat you have.
Tummy fat. Some of us have
lots of tummy fat, others don't. Is there anything special about a big belly compared to a large bottom? Well, surprisingly, not all body fat is created equal! According to a study carried out by researchers from MacMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario it seems that gauging your heart attack risk depends on where your fat is, rather that how much fat you have.
These types of findings are not unique to MacMasters. Dr David Heber, Ph.D., from UCLA’s Centre for Human Nutrition reports that distribution of body fat is a more important predictor of heart attack risk than the traditional measurement of Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a measurement based on the ratio between your height and weight.
It appears that a more accurate predictor of the impact body fat has on your health, is your overall body shape. You may be more like an apple or a pear, or evenly shaped top and bottom. You may have large thighs, fat hips and a huge bum and have a lower heart attack risk than someone with skinny legs and a big belly.
A more accurate and telling predictor of heart attack risk, is the waist-to-hip ratio. ( Or tummy fat)
What is your waist-to-hip ratio?
Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. For example, if your hips measurement is 40 inches and your waist is 34 inches your hip-to-waist ratio is 0.85. If you are a man, that's great, if you are a woman, that's OK (but you are right on the limit of healthy).
- A man's ratio should not be over 0.90
- A woman's ratio should not be over 0.85
Don’t fight nature
If you were born an apple you will stay an apple and if you were born a pear you will continue to be appear. Accepting your natural body shape is the first step in losing weight. In a study led by Glasgow, Scotland, psychologist Dorothy Hefferman, Ph.D., researchers concluded that women whose actual body shape differs from their desired one may find losing weight frustrating and have more trouble sticking to a weight-loss program as a result.
If this sounds like you, accept your overall shape as nature intended, but pay attention to reducing fat around your middle and tummy areas. Circumference is much more important to your health than how you look in relation to your bust and bottom.

Your Weight Loss Program in as Easy as a Week
The idea of the
weight loss program is to be able for you to develop a consistent approach to weight loss as well as a healthy endurance when exercising. The
Dallas Personal Trainer weight loss program’s objective is to get rid of the excesses in your body, the excess fat. Not the healthy and lean muscle tissues and body fluids.
The idea of the weight loss program is to be able for you to develop a consistent approach to weight loss as well as a healthy endurance when exercising. The weight loss program’s objective is to get rid of the excesses in your body, the excess fat. Not the healthy and lean muscle tissues and body fluids.
The weight loss program first requires your focus and dedication, so therefore you need to be prepared in both mind and – of course – body. It is highly advised that you first visit your doctor for a check-up before embarking on any weight loss program.
It is important that when starting on any
weight loss program, one should be positive enough to work for the results. Some people get impatient easily but long term effects are assured as long as one sticks to the weight loss plan at hand.
Stretch and stretch some more. Before actually doing those exercises and working out those muscles, a little stretching is needed in order to avoid any injury or soreness in your body.
It is also not advisable for anyone to try too hard. Everything should be done in moderation. Find the level of exercise and training that suits you. It should be enough for you to be comfortable in but not too convenient that it will not be much of a challenge.
The first week
The first day of the weight loss program involves a long and steady walk in a little over twenty minutes. After the walk, follow it up with a good stretch. This takes so little of your time for the first day. In less than an hour you have taken that first step to a weight loss program that could work to your advantage.
By the second day, it is good to focus on an upper body workout. This maintains your strength to be able to go through the whole weight loss program for the week. On the third day, a brisk walk or jog for ten minutes is in order. For beginners, a lower body workout should be done in the evening.
In the fourth day, a good rest is in order, as well as a good stretch. This lag time should be used wisely though to sort out any negatives in your mindset. The fifth day starts with a good ten minute walk. Exercise the lower body in four sessions of workouts, follow this up with another ten minute walk, and another four sessions of
lower body workout.
