THE MEDIA IS FLOODED WITH AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF INFORMATION ON THE ‘RIGHT' WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT AND GET FIT. IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHAT'S TRUE SINCE SOME ‘EXPERT' ADVICE CAN SEEM CONFUSING, UNSAFE, OR FLAT-OUT STRANGE! LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME POPULAR DIET MYTHS AND THE TRUTH BEHIND THEM.
1. Myth: Eating late at night causes weight gain
Fact: Weight gain happens when you consume more calories than you burn, no matter what time of day you eat. However, night-time snackers have a tendency to choose higher calorie foods— which can cause weight gain.
2. Myth: You should eat each food group separately for optimal digestion
Fact: Your digestive system is made to handle more than one type of food at a time. Protein and fat actually slow the digestion of carbohydrates, which helps blood sugar stay stable. And keep in mind that few foods are purely carbohydrates, protein or fat—so it doesn't make sense that you can't mix them.
3. Myth: Skipping meals is a good way to lose weight
Fact: Skipping meals actually slows your metabolism and leads to overeating at other times of the day-which both cause weight gain.
4. Myth: It is better to eat six meals a day instead of three
Fact: Because weight control is achieved by balancing the number of calories consumed with the number burned, it doesn't matter if the calories come in the form of three large meals or six smaller ones.
However, some people find that they're better able to control their intake one way or the other. It's a matter of preference.
5. Myth: Rapid weight loss can be maintained
Fact: Extremely restrictive diets may cause a huge amount of weight loss in the first week or so (sometimes 10 to 20 pounds!), but it generally can't be maintained. Most of the weight lost is water and lean tissue, so the minute you get off the diet, you'll gain the weight back— and probably more.
6. Myth: You have to stop eating your favorite foods to lose weight
Fact: Skipping out on your favorite foods leads to feelings of deprivation, which makes us more likely to ditch the diet altogether and go overboard on these once 'forbidden' foods. A better approach is to embrace healthy eating, regular activity, and all foods in moderation.

So remember this when deciding if you should try the next big diet, pill, shake, or gadget —If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

The other day I saw a video of an 85 year old doing pull-ups and not the diaper kind. I thought to myself, he’s not looking at his age as a limitation. If you’re looking for the true fountain of youth, I promise you…
It’s working out and preferably with a great trainer. Someone to watch your form and give you the correct workouts to get you to your goals. My clients know not to say to me, I can’t do that. Because mark my word…
You can and you will. Even if we have to work up to it. 💪

This is pure inspiration! 🙌

Diane Friedman, 103-year-old runner🏃‍♀️

Diane started running at 70 years old!

Her friends made fun of her, telling her that she was too old to play sports!

But since Diane didn't pay attention to them, she continued training until she broke a few world records in the Senior Olympic Games in the 100-104-year-old age group!

100 meters - 36.71 seconds👏
200 meters - 1 minute and 29.78 seconds👏

Huge respect❤
