Kirstie Alley - Wow!

 

I just saw Kirstie Alley on a commercial and I was blown away! She looks fantastic.

I’ve been rooting for her since the beginning. She’s always been one of my favorite people I have to say and her battle with weight has caused me some grief. Seeing her struggle with things beyond just her weight, I can, as I sure most of us in some way, can empathize.

So many things factor into getting on a plan and sticking to it. The most important being your WHY.

It looks to me like Kirstie has found her WHY and she looks absolutely amazing. She’s happy, she’s dancing, she’s doing something right nutrition wise. I’m sure she has a nutritionist somewhere in the background helping her balance her meals because like me, Kirstie loves food. There’s no way either of us would give it up just to be thin.

A note here, because I know I’m going to get asked:

The product she’s using is some kind of supplement. The ingredients are not listed on the website so I have no idea what’s in it or whether or not it’s good for you. It claims to boost energy and be organic, that’s all I know.

I’m not endorsing any product here. I’m simply saying Kudos to Kirstie for finding her passion in exercise and making her health a priority.

To Your Health my Friends!

Truth or Myth: The Lies you Believe about Losing Weight #2

The More Calories you cut The More Weight You Lose.

Not necessarily. Our bodies adjust to the nutrients we put in them. If a good portion of your calories are made up of processed foods lacking nutrients, your body will slow down your metabolism and goes into crisis mode, storing fat and using muscle for energy. A low metabolism means you are slow moving slower and burning less calories. You might lose weight, but you're losing the wrong weight.

What to do? Eat every 3-4 hours a meal of nutrient rich whole foods containing protein, fats, and carbohydrates. This will stabilize your blood sugar, boost your metabolism and help you to burn burn burn. The more of that stored fat you burn away, the more your body will need additional calories to make up for the used storage.
