FAQ’s

How long is your program?

It’s not a program, it’s a way of life, and it’s for the rest of your life.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Obviously it varies from one person to the next. I lost on average, 3-4 lbs. Per week for the first 6 weeks or so. I then averaged around 2 lbs./week from then on. The time frame really isn’t important since this is a life-long commitment. A year or so from now you will be the weight you want to be and you will stay there.

I really like food, will I have to starve myself?

No you won’t have to starve yourself. I love food. Now, though, I love the right foods, and I eat 6 meals a day. You can’t let yourself get hungry and you can’t allow yourself to feel deprived. You’ve then set yourself up for failure.

I hate lifting weights, why is that so necessary?

I used to hate lifting weights also, but once it finally sank in that muscle burns fat, I was all aboard. Admittedly, it is discouraging to lift weights and not initially see results. What you are doing, though, is building muscle underneath the fat and as the fat goes away, the muscle will reveal itself. That is really exciting!

How do I break my emotional attachment to food?

For me, it was a matter of identifying the stressors that were causing me to want to eat the high sugar, fattening foods. Then I dealt with the stress through exercise. I switched “addictions”, so to speak. This is huge part of what we will be addressing in our coaching sessions.

What makes what you do different from any other fitness trainer?

I partner with you to attack the problem from the inside out. I’ve been there. I was an extremely unhappy 320 lb. person. The unhappiness wasn’t just because of my being overweight, it was the cause of it. So while working on this, you’re are also learning what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat and how to move. This is not only about looking better, but being healthier, living longer, and being truly happy.
