Most people think that if they want to lose weight that they need to cut down their calorie intake in half and eliminate all carbs. That's stupid. Not only are you actually storing more fat that way, you're not providing your body enough calories to function properly. You should actually eat more!
The trick is to eat about 5-6 small meals a day and drink lots of water. People get too tied up into thinking about how hard it would be to change your eating habits but fail to realize how easy it is once you get started. My typical day of eating breaks down like this:
6AM/9AM/12PM/3PM/6PM/9PM
Just by eating every 3 hours like this, my metabolism is burning through calories just to keep up. The best part is when you incorporate exercise, you actually get to eat more. Your body needs calories for energy and when you take those calories away, you won't have any. I try to eat about 2500-3000 calories a day. That breaks down to about 400-500 calories a meal and when you're eating as many meals as I do, you're usually not feeling too hungry.
Next post will be about what kind of foods you should be eating so look out for the next one! Have a good day.

Finding Motivation
One of the things that I enjoy most about being a Team Beachbody Coach is the ability to interact and connect with people in a positive way. I am surrounded by individuals who have goals and are not letting excuses get in their way. Not only that, but they all have nothing but supportive things to say and inspirational stories to share to help others achieve their goals as well.
It's about motivation people. Find it and you too can do great things. Whether it involves health and fitness, home projects, or career moves, all you need is the right support group to help you get there. Being a part of this company has helped me more then just financially; I've made some fantastic friendships that I now consider more "family" then friend. (L.A.- it's not thaaattt far away)
I want to end with a brief story about someone who I find a daily inspiration for me when it comes to over-coming fitness struggles. A family member of mine, Karen Rossler, is a cancer survivor. She has gone through some horrible pain and downfalls that goes along with that. She grew an interest in fitness to rebuild her strength, her body, her life. She chose kettle bells as her tool to make that happen. Every day going through another painful workout. Fighting through blood and tears she kept at it. There were times that she wanted to give up and crawl herself into a hole and let the whole world collapse on top of her. What did she do? She showed up, day after day, and fought.
Her strength increased and her body grew stronger. She not only survived but she whooped cancer in the ASS! She has since gotten her training certification and has started to do personal training as her main occupation. Yep... She was able to quit her job and do something she is passionate about. She is truly an amazing woman and I am so blessed to be able to share her story. If you're in the D.C. area and are looking for a gut busting workout, seek her out. You can find her on Facebook (Karen Kuester Rossler).
If you're looking for someone to let you continue on with allowing you to let your excuses win every time, we're not it. If you ARE looking for motivation, I'm right here.
