Copy of post written back in March 09 by my friend and mentor in the personal training world, Corey Beasley.
"I have been training people for over 12 years and have watched thousands of people try to make changes to their bodies, inside and out. Everyone is always looking for the secret, the workout, the diet that is going to help them reach their goals. Unfortunately, they allow simple things to get in the way. Every week, I’ll be focusing on one of those common mistakes that everyone makes.
Client Mistake #1 – They don’t eat!
I can’t believe how many people I’ve coached over the years, that always seem to fall back into the ‘no eating’ way toward weight loss. We’ve come a long way since the 1980s in sports nutrition, but people still think that living off rice cakes is the way to go.
When you’re working out on a regular basis, it’s important to keep your body nourished. By cutting back on calories, your body will look to your lean muscle mass first – not your body fat! That weight you’re losing is muscle! You have to ‘feed the beast’ with healthy calories to increase your lean muscle. Your metabolism will speed up, and that fat will start melting away.
If you need help figuring out how many calories you should be eating on a daily basis, ask your trainer. And if you don’t have a trainer, what are you waiting for? The first session is free, and we can sit down and talk about caloric intake specific to your body and activity level together. Call us at 866.243.4472."
