Another part of the problem is nutrition.

From my 15 years of experience in the fitness field many overweight people are actually under nourished.

Why?

Because rather than eating foods packed with nutrition, foods that are good for them, they are, in effect, living on garbage. Furthermore, they may be overeating because their bodies crave needed nutrients. For example, they may be eating salty snacks because their system needs minerals. Unfortunately, all they will get from salty snacks is a load of sodium and unneeded carbohydrates. And gain more weight.

The power of The Total Body Fitness Program is based on its ability to deal with food cravings. First, by satisfying the natural cravings for nutrients. Then, by transforming the habitual cravings you've learned to your advantage.

You will learn what you can do 30 minutes before a meal so your food cravings will be reduced dramatically. You will feel satisfied with fewer calories, and you will feel fuller, longer. Best of all you will feel better and stronger with more energy.

Transforming your habitual cravings into healthier choices takes some discipline, but it can be done with some professional support and continued guidance. The idea is to select a proper breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack you really like, then eat them every day. That's right, the same things every day. These should be healthy selections, low in carbohydrates: specifically, refined sugars and starches. Don't worry, the complete program will show you exactly what to do and what foods to choose from.

By sticking with your choices, you should find that by the third week your food cravings for other things will vanish and that you will actually begin to crave your good selections!

Once you get your food cravings under control and are wanting the same foods at the same time every day, your weight loss will probably come to a standstill due to plateau. Once this occurs your program will be changed so continued results can be seen.

As far as exercise your program will contain a personalized exercise program that will be specifically designed based on your current health and physical condition. Your program will show you how to develop an actual craving for exercise.

TIPS:

Let's look at breakfast. Don't choose a sugary cereal. And pancakes and syrup might not be a good choice, either. Instead, have something like scrambled eggs, toast with butter, and orange juice. You know, the kind of breakfast people used to eat, at least when I was a kid.

For lunch, why not a hot turkey or hot roast beef sandwich. Or if you're out there, something like a Whopper. If you're big, you can even make it two! Just skip the fries, skip the shake, and skip the soda. They're unnecessary carbs for your body to store as excess fat. Have a coffee or have milk. Once you get used to it, a medium coffee with three creams and no sugar starts to taste really good.

Dinner? Again go with something good. The old meat, potatoes, and a tossed salad or other vegetable never hurt anyone, weight-wise. Steak, roast beef, chicken? It's your choice. Potato? Baked or mashed is fine. Butter? No problem!

For an evening snack, I don't know if you can do much better than strawberries and whipped cream! Or peaches and cream! They're great combinations that don't have to be sugared up, and they do have nutritional value. Berries are practically a health food!

As for fats, unless you have a serious problem with cholesterol or something like that, there is nothing wrong with them. In fact you need them. It's the sugars and starches that are converted into the fat your body stores, not the fat you eat! Butter is better for you than margarine. And whipped cream is better for you than something like Cool Whip! And I don't know why some people think that sugar has to be put into whipped cream like they do with those aerosol toppings. It doesn't. Buy heavy cream and whip it yourself.

One key is to eat until you are just satisfied without filling yourself up. Your personalized program will also show you what to do immediately before eating so you won't have to worry about overeating or feeling dragged down and sleepy after your meal.

Tips are good but if you are really serious about accomplishing your goals and overcoming your food cravings
