How Mixed are the Variety of Foods in Your Diet?
By · CommentsHaving a mixed variety of foods in your diet can actually be a strategy you can use to ward off hunger! Your current refrigerator and cabinets may actually be leaving you hungry, especially if it isn’t full of nutrient-dense food. The Journal of Consumer Research confirms that the more limits you have on what you can eat during the day, the less satisfied your hunger will be.
Basically, research proves that if you have healthy snacks on hand, you can actually feel the same way as if you indulged on something unhealthy — there just has to be a variety of foods in your diet! Eating the same thing from day-to-day makes your body bored. As Tony Horton says, “variety is the spice of life” and it is true with both fitness programs and when you eat smart.
How to Change Your Circumstances
By · CommentsI like to have “power talks” with people whom I believe can really make a difference in my life. One of those guys is Jerry Luis Arichabala, who is also on our team of Beachbody Coaches. Jerry is a really amazing guy, and someone whom I consider a mentor to me, in a way. Funny thing — I’ve never met him in real life!!! Yet, he’s had a really positive influence on me. The other night we were talking and he said that in order for someone to change their current circumstances, they have to get out of their comfort zone., and that successful people ALWAYS get out of their comfort zones. He also said that the majority of people he sees actually don’t get out of theirs. If you want to change your circumstances, you won’t get very far if you don’t change yourself first. What I mean by that is, you have to actually move away from whatever it is that impedes your growth as an individual.
Overcoming Laziness
By · CommentsFULL ARTICLE COMING SOON, THIS IS JUST A ROUGH PREVIEW
This is a topic that I hope piques your interest and causes you to take action. When I asked on Facebook what people wanted to read about, one topic was getting MOTIVATED. I assume that they meant with fitness, but this can apply to work, school, family life — you name it, really. So, I’ll be writing a series of articles on getting motived; this is the first one, and it is about Overcoming Laziness.
When we talk about laziness, what comes to mind? Some might think of “sloth”, as in one of the “Seven Deadly Sins” (not to be confused with the character from The Goonies). Maybe “procrastination” comes to mind, which will be the topic of the next article in this series. So these are just a couple of areas people lack in when overcoming laziness.
But what about “preparation”? Ever notice that most people try to get through their day, as opposed to getting something from or out of their day?
