Early on in my career, I thought of exercise from a very simple perspective: you can use it to help with fat loss (somewhat inefficiently) and you can use it to get stronger or faster. Obviously, it’s much more than that, but I didn’t have as much appreciation for how much more back then. I […]
Here’s a little something you don’t often hear about for the folks on GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. It is 100% possible to consume food in a surplus when you’re on them. Let’s start with one aspect: response rate. Some people can start the medication at the lowest dose and start seeing positive benefits. You might […]
You’ve probably heard the sentiment around food intake (and I’ve been guilty as well of its use): If you can moderate (said food), keep it in the diet. And there’s good reason for it. But why do so many people feel misled by it? Let me give you a personal example. I love chips. I […]
Picture this: You set out to lose “X” amount of fat. You get inspired over the weekend, make a decision to change your current food plan, you grocery shop, you meal prep, and come Monday, you’re ready to hit the ground running. Monday goes well. Tuesday does, too. Wednesday you forgot to bring your prepped […]
It’s a story I’ve seen play out repeatedly as long as I’ve been coaching and…”it goes a little something like this…” -I only eat healthy foods and I can’t lose fat… -My diet is really clean, why is the scale not budging? -I’m training hard and I cut out all ‘junk food’, why do I […]
Once upon a time, Bella (not her real name) struggled with disordered eating behaviors. She recalls a period of life where it wasn’t uncommon for her to buy a cake and eat half of it in basically one sitting. For those counting, that could be upwards of 1000-3000 calories. And the emotions she would go […]
Every year that passes, since I started Revolution Fitness & Therapy in 2009, is another year I’m amazed by. And while I am seldom at a loss for words, it does become slightly more difficult for me to express what each passing anniversary means to me. People may ask you throughout your professional career: Where […]
Have a conversation around fat loss and somewhere, somehow carbohydrates will likely come up in conversation… -Well, I’m cutting back on my carbs -I was low carb-ing it last week to give myself a kickstart -Every time I eat carbs I feel bloated And it’s helpful to understand “why” this may be happening. For one, […]
A client of ours took some time off from training here and returned after several years away. When she came back, she mentioned that she had been on a GLP-1 to help with fat loss. I asked her how everything was going on the medication. “It’s been life changing.” she said. And she added: “Now […]
I keep a desk calendar in my office and was turning the page from March to April when I noticed a day on April 14, recognized as Holocaust Remembrance Day (although this day is different each April.) I haven’t written a great deal on this website about my Oma, my father’s mother. There is so […]
