When it comes to the fitness world, if you’re not OVER EATING, you’re UNDER EATING. And from a fitness professional standpoint, I would rather you OVER EAT then under eat, cause we can use the extra energy as fuel for your workouts. But what happens when people UNDER EAT and DON’T WORKOUT, what do we do then? In this conversation you hear how I address this in a Q&A with my client through a “diet program” I gave her. Which is nothing more but a program that focuses on 3 BIG PILLARS that she must hit in order for her to achieve and maintain her weight loss goal.

This is a question I get asked pretty often when I start training a new client:
When it comes to losing weight or working for the body you want, One of the biggest struggles people have cutting back on alcohol.
A majority of us have busy, stressful lives, and a nice cold beer or wine after the kids are in bed or brunch on the weekends, really sounds tempting and definitely well deserved.
