Check Your Ego at the Door

I read the book “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz about 3 years ago. It’s a super-fast read and if you have never read it before, I recommend it highly. Though the book begins a little “out there,” it quickly becomes more concrete in its 4 “agreements” or lessons about life. They serve to… Continue reading »

5 Reasons Calories Aren’t as Important as You Think

It seems in the nutrition world you have the camp who says calories are the end-all-be-all of fat loss, and if you wanna lose, all you need is a caloric deficit, doesn’t matter what type of foods you eat nor what type of exercise so long as a deficit is created. Then there’s the camp… Continue reading »

8 Ways to Avoid “The Comparison Trap”

I read a study recently that talked about how Facebook makes us lonelier. Essentially, the idea is that at any time, we can log on and check out other people’s photos, status updates and check-ins, and it can make us feel like a loser. Gee, nice, uplifting article, yes? Anyway, it got me to thinking… Continue reading »

6 Ways to Set a Meaningful Goal & Actually Reach It

When we think about fat loss, we typically think about a number: “I want to wear a size 6” or “I want to weigh 130 lbs” or “I want to lose 5% body fat.” These are all well and great, but many times having exact number that we are aiming for can leave us frustrated… Continue reading »

Is a Fat Loss “Jump Start” Right For You?

by

At JillFit and Metabolic Effect, we are not big fans of crash diets. We believe that in order to live a sustainable Fat Loss Lifestyle, the black-and-white thinking about food and exercise needs to go. Everyone is different–unique metabolisms, personal preferences, individual sensitivities and fat loss formulas. At ME, we talk about using biofeedback tools… Continue reading »

Would You Talk to Your Best Friend Like This?

by

“Ugh, you suck.” “You will never be able to get lean, you have zero willpower!” “You cannot even stay on an eating plan for longer than 5 days, what’s wrong with you??” “I don’t understand…WHY can’t you just DO IT!?” Sound familiar?
