Disclaimer: No twinkies were harmed in the writing of this blog.
Step 1 in Fit True Nutrition is probably the hardest of the 4 Steps. It requires the greatest changes to peoples lives. It's the easiest step to fall off the wagon with. People say or think they have the step covered but a little questioning and poking reveals that they don't.
Once Step 1 is accomplished, the others fall into place much easier. If Step 1 starts to waiver, then the others have less positive benefit. That's why its exciting when someone is rock solid in doing Step 1. Because the results from Step 1 are the most significant.
Step 1 is eat five to six equally portioned equally spaced meals throughout the day. Roughly, every three hours. The important parts to Step 1 are the portion sizes and the frequency of eating them. Not the what to eat. People frequently ask what they should eat during Step 1. That question communicates they don't get the main reason for doing Step 1. We are trying to change one habit at a time, so that you can develop a new habit FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. We'll get to the what to eat in the next step and then improve on it in the following step. But the main thrust of Step 1 is the portion sizes and the frequency of them.
That's why one suggestions is to cut your lunch in half, eat half right away, and the other half three hours later. Cutting it in half gives you equal portions. Three hours is a good frequency. Regarding the other meals, they don't have to be perfect in the amounts but they should be close. Close means eye-balling it, not necessarily counting out calories. If you CAN count calories and WANT to count calories then please do so. But eyeballing it should be close enough. A protein bar probably is way less than the sandwich you had. You could have another protein bar, but more likely what you need to do is down size the sandwich and add something like a piece of fruit to the bar. Try to balance the portion sizes out.
Bordering on the absurd, let's say that all you normally eat in one sitting over the coarse of the day is a deep fried, bacon wrapped, chocolate covered twinkie. First, may God have mercy on your soul. Second, in trying to accomplish Step 1 take your deep fried, bacon wrapped, chocolate covered twinkie, cut it into five or six equal portions and eat one portion about every three hours throughout the day. Do that for about three weeks and technically you have accomplished Step 1.
The reason for that ridiculous example is to communicate the goal in Step 1. Which is to eat five to six equally portioned equally spaced meals. It will take about two weeks to get used to and about another two weeks for your body to truly adapt to it. It might take longer. If you jump right into it right away and it seems to be working for you, you should still do it for at least three weeks to make it a habit. Feel free to post your questions below.

Eating Often For Better Health
Step 1 in Fit True Nutrition is to eat five to six small meals throughout the day. Don't worry about what. That's not until Step 2. The body has to get used to Step 1, and adapt to eating frequently first. Remember you aren't going to change any of the foods that you are already eating. The goal is to just change the number and portion sizes of your meals. That's it. Once you feel that it is a natural thing, then you have acquired a new healthy habit for the rest of your life.
When the body gets five to six meals a day evenly portioned and evenly spaced the metabolism ramps itself up. It isn't as prone to storing food as fat. It gives you more energy and burns more calories. During this first step some people actually find themselves increasing the amount of calories they eat throughout the day but begin losing weight and inches. This is because their metabolism ramps up so much that they are able to burn more calories. They hadn't even changed any of the foods they were eating.
Most people, unfortunately, don't eat three meals a day any more. The majority only eat two. And those are usually very unevenly portioned. Typically its a small breakfast of sorts and a fairly large dinner with garbage snacking in between. Terrible. Do you skip lunch? Well knock it off. And don't give me any of that "I-don't-have-time-you-don't-understand-I'm-a-(fill in the blank)" nonsense. It's a lame excuse. People have held your job and had busier schedules than you for centuries and still ate better so stop making excuses, find a way, and do it.
Take what you have for breakfast and then have another breakfast about three hours later? Or cut it in half and have half when you get up and half again two or three hours later. For lunch do the same thing. Cut it in half and eat half right away and half again two or three hours later. Don't want to cut your meals in half? Then use snack bars or protein shakes to get those in between meals in. I don't care what you eat, JUST EAT SOMETHING!
Now listen, I'm not a complete jerk. The goal is to try to eat five to six equally portioned equally spaced meals as best as you can. Your developing a new habit, so it may take three or four weeks. And it probably won't be perfect either. Maybe you'll find yourself only able to eat two hours after your lunch. That's OK. Maybe your dinner is a little smaller than the other meals because you find yourself less hungry at night. That's fine. What's important is that you get that metabolism ramped up by eating more often and well portioned meals. Do what you can, not what you can't.

Try Hard Different
In short, this blog is going to be about motivating you to either start doing something physical if your not already, or add some variety so that you don't get bored and your body can continue to change.
Get up and do something physical. Take a walk, do some crunches, do some push-ups, do some deep knee bends, go for a run, do some jump rope. Do something different for a change to get some variety. Do you only run? Try cycling. Do you only lift weights? Get on the tread mill for a change. You'll hear me say this again and again and again. The body THRIVES on variety.
It doesn't matter your age. It doesn't matter your activity level. Just get out there and get active. Do something different. Are you indoors all of the time? Get out and get some fresh air. Have you only been working certain body parts? Do other body parts. Do you do a two day split in the gym? How about crushing one body part a day for a week or two for a change? Don't know what your doing in the gym? Hire a good trainer for a week and get some new ideas. By the way, should you choose to work with a trainer please contact me so I can tell you what to look for and what's reasonable to pay. Facebook me, Tim Peirce, or just leave a comment.
Want to work out at home? Here ya go. Two good products that I've heard great things about: What's great about both of these is that the workouts are progressive. As you develop, so do the workouts. That's good because THE BODY THRIVES ON VARIETY. Get the hint yet?
Boot camps are all the rage these days. That's great. One thing that most good boot camps incorporate is a great deal of variety that is progressive. Join one in your town. If you're already in one, check out another one for a change. Want to do it at home? Here ya go.. Are you working out and changing things up but not getting any result? Then stop trying hard the same. Try harder different. Hire a trainer, Pick up a workout tool like a P90X, or pick up a workout book at the True Fit Resource Center. Just click on one of the yellow links on this blog. Variety progressing towards your fitness goals is one of the most rewarding feelings. You'll be glad you did it

Getting Nutrition in Gear
I'm about to give up one of my biggest secrets. I don't read it in nutrition or diet books. I don't here doctors, nutritionists, or dietitians talk about it. It amazes me that all of these experts don't get it. Worse yet, because they don't, I believe, the majority of people fail in their nutritional goals.
So what's the secret and what makes me think I'm smarter than these educated guys? Well, let's just say I will give you the info, you put it into practice and you let me know what you think. It brakes into two pieces of knowledge.
1)The human body is an organism which means that it adapts.
2)Moving from eating the wrong foods at the wrong times to eating the right foods at the right times constitutes a goal.
I've talked in previous posts about the body adapting. It adapts to food, it adapts to activity level, it adapts to sleep habits. If you wanted to run a marathon there's a good bet that you wouldn't start training for that by going out and running 26.2 miles right away. No, you'd start with something smaller and work your way up AS YOUR BODY ADAPTS, right? Right.
When you try to apply some new nutritional plan whether its from a dietitian or nutritionist or a diet book and that person or book doesn't graduate you into the program they are doing you a disservice. They are telling you the equivalent of running 26.2 miles to train for your marathon at the beginning of your training. What happens when someone starts their marathon training by running 26.2 miles? To begin with they fail, they get discouraged, and generally hurt themselves. Guess what? The same thing happens when you don't give your body time to adapt as you go from poor nutrition to good nutrition.
My guess is that many of you have tried some nutritional program and then fell of the wagon. You probably thought you didn't have the will power. Let me suggest to you that you probably had the will power you just were trying something as impossible as running a marathon on your first day of training.
So here's my nutritional fitness tip: DON"T DO IT ALL AT ONCE. That's it. If you do it incrementally you will succeed. Just do it one step at a time. Wait until you achieve each step BEFORE you move on to the next one. Here's the program I give my clients:
Step 1. Eat 5 to 6 equally portioned equally timed meals throughout the day. Don't ask me what, I won't tell you. Just let your body adapt to eating that often and in those portions. That may take some time, but that's fine, let it. You are trying to build new habits, ONE AT A TIME.
Step 2. It may take a few weeks to accomplish Step 1, maybe even a month or more, but DON"T YOU DARE do Step 2 until Step 1 is your habit. After it is a habit then you can introduce some balance in your nutrition by incorporating some form of carbs, proteins and fats IN EACH MEAL. I'm amazed at how hard this is. IN EACH MEAL means IN EACH MEAL. Ladies, I want to see protein and fat IN EACH MEAL. Don't worry about the "no carbs after" whatever time. How many habits at a time are we trying to change? ONE! This step may take as long as a month for your body to adapt to but once you feel like it's habitual then you can move on to Step 3.
Step 3. Most folks, get so dialed in by Step 2 that Step 3 happens kind of naturally and with much less effort than the previous two steps. Now that you're eating multiple times a day and with some balance of your macro-nutrients it's finally time to look at the QUALITY of the carbs, proteins, and fats. My guess is that many of you have an idea in this area. In fact, this is the step that was the nutritional program you were on and failed at that you claimed you didn't have the will power to do. If you still want to know good carbs, proteins and fats I've given you some good reading resources on the side there to the left.
So here's the bottom line: I believe my Steps 1 and 2 are what have not been taught by anyone. I've applied it to my clients and it's worked for them. You can do it too.

Keep it Fresh
I'm going to be repeating myself quite a bit on this site but repetition is how we learn.
Two very common questions that I get from folks are, "How do I keep from getting bored when I work out?" and "I only get results when I first start to work out and then I just seem to keep maintaining the same weight/strength/size." I know the second one isn't actually a question, just bare with me. These two questions can be reduced to boredom and plateauing.
Boredom doesn't need any explanation, but plateauing might so here goes. Plateauing is when a person ceases to experience positive results from their workouts. They started walking with their girlfriend during their lunch break and saw some results at first but then those results have stopped. They were doing a fun workout routine and were getting stronger each week, but now have ceased to get stronger. They were improving their best time on a distance run or sprint and now just don't seem to be able to get any faster.
Variation is the answer to the boredom and plateauing problem. The human body is an organism. It thrives on variety. A misconception that people have is what I call the, "Gas Tank Model," of the body. They believe that just as putting "X" amount of gas into the gas tank will get you so far, so too doing "Y" amount of exercise will return the same results each time. Your body is an organism not a machine. Machines yield the same results each time you input the same amount of fuel. Organisms ADAPT.
The human body will adapt. No matter how out of shape you are, no matter how old you are the human body will condition itself to stimulus. In fact, to make matters worse there is a kind of law of diminishing returns when it comes to stimulus and the body. That's why technically, as a trainer, I don't like to say or hear about maintaining condition. It is misleading. People get the idea that once a certain goal is reached all that one needs to do is continually repeat the same exercises that they did at the point they reached their goal. NOT TRUE NOT TRUE NOT TRUE. Variations still have to be part of the workout to maintain the achieved result. Otherwise the body will eventually find a more efficient way of achieving the goal. More efficient equals fewer calories burned which equals either lower, or no results, or even a return to original conditioning!!! Yikes. That is exactly not what we want, right?
So add some variation to what ever your doing. If you walk 2 miles during your lunch break each day, try to do it in shorter time. Or go further in the same amount of time. Or add some weights to your back pack. If you've only been lifting light to tone and firm up, spend a week doing some strength training. Don't worry, you won't get huge doing that for just a week. In fact, the surprise is that you might see yourself getting the results you want again because you're giving your body what it wants. Variety. Do you always just do cardio? How about doing some resistance training for a change? Are you a meathead, like me? why not try some jump rope or sprint training to get the conditioning where it belongs.
I hope you all get the point. I'll be giving you more tips as we go, but please please please, STOP DOING THE SAME STUPID THING AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS. Until next time, love ya all and here's some stuff that you might need for some variety.

Sales Gimmicks and Body Fat
I want to try to keep these blogs short and simple. A lot of the hype comes at you in sound bytes so I think being clear and quick is the best way to overcome that.
I'm sitting watching the idiot box last night (that's the TV to be politically correct) and on comes yet another "ab sculpting body fat eliminating" product. And oh don't we all want it to work for us. Then comes the remarkably toned good looking female and male fitness models demonstrating the device while they show before and after pictures of some "real" people. They give the impression that they used that product and they are well on their way to being more fit.
These advertisements count on people believing certain misconceptions. If people knew the truth the commercials would be structured completely different and sales would drop like a stone. Here's some of the misconceptions: Think of them the next time a love handle abolishing commercial comes on.
1) There IS NOT a wire attaching your muscles to the fat cells that are above it. That's right, crunches do not "work off" your belly. Side bends will not get rid of your love handles or muffin tops. Dips and tricep extensions will not tone up your bingo arms.
2) The body needs variety to get into shape. That means rigorous exercise, good nutrition, and plenty of rest. With the exception of the resting part a lot of variety in the exercise and nutrition areas is what is needed to progressively move toward your goal. One machine, one exercise, one routine is not going to do it. Your body wants, craves, and thrives on variety.
Like I said I want to try to keep these short and simple. I have included a few ideas that I think are less hype and more like the real thing. If your going to spend money do it on something that requires real effort, real variety and you'll get some real results.

Hey all.
I've decided to start a new fitness blog. What's inspired me to do this has been all of the questions that I've been continuing to get from friends, family and clients about fitness, working out, and nutrition. I find myself repeating myself quite a bit. I don't mind, but I thought that maybe I could create a way to continue to offer insight and resources for people to get the info they need to reach their health and fitness goals.
One thing that has become, for want of a better term, an epidemic in the fitness industry is all of the misinformation that's out there. In 2008 The fitness industry was $19,000,000,000 industry (http://clubindustry.com/statistics/). Crazy, I know. I think that's part of the problem. As a friend of mine once put it, "I've never seen a big pile of money without an illegal act nearby." That 19 billion dollars are part of what drives a great deal of the misinformation. You know, sales, gimmicks, hype, selling the dream.
My training philosophy has been no nonsense and I want to use this blog to help provide some of that no nonsense info. I really do want to help people reach their goals and it pains me when they invest in the hype that doesn't produce. By the way, I've been a victim of the misinformation and in my enthusiasm probably even spread some of it. That's what this is all about, trying to work through all of this info, products, reports and hogwash. Let me tell you what I know, what's my opinion, and what I don't know so that you can approach your fitness goals better informed.
Leave your comments, ask your questions, and stay connected to Fit True.
