You are completely fed up...and I don't blame
you.
For ages you've been eating healthy and
exercising, and yet still haven't met your fat loss goal.
What's the deal?
This is a quandary that all dedicated
fat-loss-seekers find themselves facing, sooner or later.
Why won't the weight come off? You are doing
everything you can think of to make it happen.
It's time to come face-to-face with an ugly truth
about yourself...and until you do you'll always be stuck in this place where
healthy eating and exercise do not get you that amazing body you want.
There's one simple thing standing between you and
a slimmed down, amazingly fit body. One. Simple. Thing.
And here it is...You eat too many calories.
That's it.
Solve this problem and your dream body will
quickly and easily become reality.
Wait, don't give me the excuse that, "I only
eat healthy calories." That's great, but even healthy calories add
up to extra pounds when we let them go unchecked.
Back to Basics: Why Calorie Counting Works
You may have heard about the professor from
Kansas State University, Mark Haub, who performed a famous junk food diet.
Professor Haub proved a powerful lesson for anyone who still has weight to
lose, so let's listen up.
In a demonstrative experiment for his nutrition
class, Professor Haub ate a diet of pure junk food for 2 months. I'm talking
candy bars and packaged snacks – the kinds of things you find in a snack
machine.
You'd expect him to gain weight, right? Well, there
was one catch. He was only allowed to eat 1800 calories each day. Yes, those
calories were pure junk, but the limit was firmly put at 1800 calories.
Before the experiment, Professor Haub's typical
calorie intake was closer to 2600 calories. So his junk food diet put him at an
800 calorie per day deficit.
Boy did that calorie deficit pay off. Within 2
months he had dropped 30 pounds, bringing his BMI from overweight down to
normal.
No, I'm NOT recommending a junk food diet as your
answer for fat loss. What I am pointing out is how powerful a reduction in
calories is when it comes to lowering your body weight.
Do you know how many calories you eat each day?
If you're not sure, don't worry. You're about to
learn the one fat loss tool that will change everything for you. First we need
to get to the bottom of how many calories you're eating each day.
Yes, even those healthy calories.
Let me explain. Food journaling doesn't have to
be lugging around a journal, writing down each food item throughout the day
then looking everything up at the end of the day to manually tally calories
like it used to.
These days food journaling has gone digital, and
tracking your calories only takes seconds of your time.
Here's what I need you to do:
#1: Download a food journal application to
your smart phone, such as Myfitnesspal https://www.myfitnesspal.com At the touch of your fingers you'll be
able to look up food items and instantly see your running calorie tally.
#2: Meet with your doctor to
find a daily calorie count that will allow for safe weight loss and then
diligently maintain that number. Eat healthy, fresh foods and when you decide
to indulge, make sure to do so within your target calorie range.
#3: Meet with a Personal Trainer at Pumps for a
consistent and challenging exercise routine. Our exercise programs are
specifically crafted to get you into amazing shape as quickly as possible.
These three, simple steps will give you structure
and clarity that you need when it comes to making food choices and will quickly
result in pounds lost and goals achieved.
Once your goal weight is met, your target calorie
range will be adjusted for maintenance.

The Healthy Calorie Trap
We see it happen all the time, but that doesn't
make it any less heartbreaking...
Well-meaning folks, like yourself, losing the
battle of the bulge to a bunch of excess healthy calories.
I've got to level with you: When it comes to
gaining and maintaining fat, ANY extra calorie does damage. No matter if it's
whole grain or processed, sugar-free or sugar-full.
Pay attention to your total calorie intake. It
really does matter.
We’d love to help you figure out your ideal
calorie range. Call or email us today and we will get started.
