When I meet a client for the first time we discuss their goals and health history. There are different programs for different goals...Pregnancies, Health related, Sport related, weight-loss, Diabetics, Toning, Kids, staying fit, etc. These will be discussed when I meet with you. The first week of exercise will be easy - this gives me a chance to determine your fitness level.
Diet Guidelines:
- Carbohydrates should be eaten at lunch time, not for dinner... There is a lot of energy in carbohydrates and should be used throughout the day. This energy will turn into fat if not used. Eat your veggies and chicken/fish/etc. at dinner time.
- Eat five times a day... Have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner like you normally would, but also have a small mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack. (Fruits, provitas, yogurt, etc)
- Try stay away from sweet fruits after 3pm - Apples and Pineapples are fine.
- Change your full-cream milk to fat free/skim or low-fat milk.
- Lessen your spoons of sugar in your coffee.
- Stop using salt... There are enough flavors in the food itself.
- Look for low fat foods... Take the skin off the chicken and eat fish without crust.
- Have a lot of water... Drink 2 glasses of water every time you eat, this way with 5 meals a day, you will have 10 glasses of water per day.
- ALLOW SOME SWEETS... Cheat on one day of the week to reward yourself for a good weeks eating - but do not go overboard. Makes you look forward to it…Don't beat yourself up if you have something you are not allowed to have, get over it and carry on with your day as if you did'nt cheat at all. If you are going to feel bad about it, then you are going to cheat even more.
