Hi!

I've been watching "Through Hell and High Water" on TV while doing my stepping and rebounding every morning this week - the story of a couple of guys who rowed a race single-handedly 3000 miles across the Atlantic in a 24ft wooden boat. Along the way they suffered capsize, lack of water and food and being cut off from all communication with the outside world at various points.

Watching them row hard for two months in a continual shift system of 2 hours on, 2 hours off, day and night made the exercise seem like a piece of cake this week.

Also one way of losing weight - these guys needed to eat a staggering 10,000 calories a day just to maintain body weight! Imagine the fun you could have with that if every meal did not have to be reconstituted with boiled, desalinated seawater!

Have a great weekend

Love

Feature Article : Your only Goal - Losing Weight?

When losing weight is your main focus in choosing what to eat you set yourself up for a cycle of failure.

How can I say that as a weight loss coach, when my clients obviously have losing weight as their goal? Surely it helps if they are focused and dedicated?

The problem with too much focus on your weight is that:-


  • When you've lost the weight your motivation to eat less disappears and you end up putting all the weight back on again. You set yourself up for a never-ending cycle of yo-yo dieting.

  • You care only about calories and the effect of food on your weight and not about nutrition. Result - less weight but poor health - and sometimes a craving for the nutrients your body lacks.

  • You see food as guilt-inducing and not life-enhancing. The pleasure of a wonderful meal is spoiled by thoughts that you shouldn't be eating it.

  • You see only the figure on the scales without caring what kind of weight you are losing. If you lose lean tissue as well as fat you are ageing your body and reducing your metabolism - making it easier to put on fat in future.

  • Inevitable weight loss fluctuations and plateaus attack your motivation and can send you right off course.

  • As you're not making a healthy lean lifestyle a habit, you're just tackling the problem of your weight as if it was a one-off situation. You're dealing with a symptom and not the root cause. Once you've lost the weight, you'll still have the problem.


Of course you want to lose weight - or you wouldn't be reading this. But don't just make it your goal to lose a number of pounds. Focus too on changing your habits and creating a healthy lifestyle when you're following any weight loss program you'll serve yourself much better. You'll lose weight and keep it off for the rest of your life and you'll also FEEL great forever as well.

Recipe of the week : Turkey Burgers

Turkey mince is lower in fat than regular beef mince (ground beef). Serve in a crusty roll (if you're not doing the low carbs thing) and with a side salad.

Makes 4 large or 8 small burgers

450g (1lb) turkey mince
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon chilli sauce
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Mix the mince thoroughly with the tomato paste to allow the flavours to combine. Heat the oil and gently cook the onions and garlic together with the chilli sauce. Once the onion has softened (about 5 minutes) add to the turkey mixture, mix together and allow to cool. Stir in the parsley, egg and soy sauce and form into 4 to 8 burgers. Grill (broil) for about 10 to 12 minutes turning once during cooking or cook in a hot oven 200 degrees Centigrade (400 F/Gas Mark 6) for about 20 minutes. Ensure burgers are cooked through before serving.
