Bulky sweaters, sweat pants, sweat shirts, elastic waistbands – it’s winter. Not only is this the season for comfort foods – but it’s also the season for ‘comfort clothes’. Unfortunately, when spring rolls around and it’s time to shed those layers of cloth we don’t always like the ‘permanent layers’ (um, yeah, that’s fat…) we find underneath…
NEWSFLASH!!!
It doesn’t have to be this way – again – for the 5th or 15th consecutive year… Start a ‘new trend’ this year. So when it thaws and the ground sheds itself of snow, you can shed your sweats and ‘unveil’ a masterpiece. There is no better time than RIGHT NOW to get your nutrition dialed in – really, what are you waiting for? The holiday’s are over. The major temptations are gone. AND – Robb’s Angels (the Paleo Registered Dietitian Dynamic Duo) have some NEW consulting programs to help you prepare for you for your ‘Ultimate Spring Debut’!!

New Study from Journal of the American Medical Association: Effect of Dietary Protein Content on Weight Gain, Energy Expenditure, and Body Composition During Overeating

Curious to know your interpretation.
What they don’t tell us in that study is what other foods those participants were fed. Overeating on sugary/grainy foods will have an entirely different effect on people than overeating on broccoli (and I dare them to overfeed people on broccoli… you just can’t do it!).
Strengthen your body, heart, and lungs with just one exercise 15 minutes a day! Introducing the 8-count bodybuilder. All you need is yourself and a little floor space:
1) begin with a body weight squat (hips down and weight in your heels)
2) drop your hands to the ground and kick your legs out to plank position
3) lower down to a pushup
4) explode back upward into plank (try to make your hands leave the floor)
5) kick your legs out to form an x while maintaining plank position
6) bring your legs back in
7) pull your feet up under your chest
8) jump straight up
If you’ve only got 15 minutes roll with the 8-count bodybuilder. You’ll hit 90% of your major muscles and jack up your heart and lungs in no time!
1) begin with a body weight squat (hips down and weight in your heels)
2) drop your hands to the ground and kick your legs out to plank position
3) pull yourself down towards the floor (don’t just drop)
4) explode back upward (try to make your hands leave the floor)
5) kick your legs out to form an x while maintaining plank position
6) bring your legs back in
7) pull your feet up under your chest
jump straight up
Repeat until form breaks down then rest 1-2 minutes and go for one more minute using strict form. This last minute is what really makes it count!
Got 15 minutes? Try this fat-blasting muscle building workout: 1 minute each. Repeat each twice resting 10 seconds between all sets.
Burpees
Pushups
Ranger Crunch
Mountain Climber
Dive Bomber
Squat Thrust
Tuck Jump
If you are struggling with keeping track of your diet and making progress with your health goals, I would highly recommend a consultation with a nutritional specialist or dietician. They can provide that extra push, motivation, and guidance to help you back on track.

I agree with Louie, sometimes a consultation is really helpful to set your mind for a diet and loosing weight.
