Take It From Avtar: Losing Weight Should Not Equal Starvation

Have you started yet another diet so that you will be a slimmer and trimmer you by the end of this calendar year? Are you just a few weeks into the new diet and you are already starving and dreaming of that fast food burger and fries? If so, chances are you are not going about things in the best way. Losing weight isn’t about starving yourself. If you are starving yourself you are actually making weight loss more difficult than it needs to be. Starvation is Not the Ticket to Weight Loss

YOUR MIND IS YOUR BODY'S BEST FRIEND

As recently as 1974, scientists believed that the immune system was a self-regulating body system outside the realm of conscious control. This belief was strongly questioned after Robert Ader found that the rats in one of his experiments had learned to suppress their own immune systems and were ...

Take It From Avtar: What’s Up With That?

I was walking out of the health club today after a great workout, feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. While walking towards my car, I noticed two ladies headed for the health club entrance, they each lit up a cigarette; they were wearing gym clothes and were going exercise.

How Do You React to Failure?

When failure arises, how do you react to it? Do you blame yourself or others for your failure? Do you swallow the deal and learn from it, adapt to it and keep moving forward or do you give up and look for an easier way? Most people love to blame others when things don’t go their way and deny any “personal responsibility” even at a great cost. To be responsible for your actions is to accept the consequences or rewards of those actions and therefore acknowledge, accept and let go of all blames and negative feelings if things don’t really go as you’ve planed. Try again, and again!

Finding a Real Wellness Coach or Personal Trainer

One of the most common for abandoning a fitness plan is using gym equipment improperly and, therefore, either hurting oneself or failing to see results. For that reason, I strongly recommend that--particularly if you have never used free weights or professional gym equipment before—you hire a competent personal trainer or fitness coach for at least a few weeks to show you the proper form and teach you how to use the equipment safely. In addition, a coach or trainer can help to keep you motivated during that initial period of three to four weeks until your routine becomes automatic.

Resistance to Change

We humans are intrinsically resistant to change and fearful of the unknown. The anxiety we feel when we begin to change or venture into the unknown is actually our protective mechanism, and it can cause us—at least initially—to misinterpret or fail to recognize what is, in fact, a true core desire.

Take It From Avtar: An Exact Blueprint

Making a choice about health and fitness is life transforming only when using the Exact Blueprint. I made a personal commitment to myself that fitness both of the body and mind, nutrition and a good supplementation would be a focal point of my personal life the minute I could no longer take the beating, the humiliation and the bullying I went through for most of my childhood. In one instance, I was put, by twenty of my classmates, under a big gymnastic mat and everyone was jumping on it until I almost died. When the teacher thought I'd had enough, he finally decided to stop them.

A Time for Fitness

A long term exercise program needs scheduling for success; here are a few important points to consider. Does your exercise plan fit you? Think about what kind of person you are, what you like and do not like, how you feel during different times of the day. If you are a night person, maybe exercising after will help to relieve stress from your job. If you are an early riser, perhaps exercise will help you to get a good start on your day. Does the plan fit your family and friends?

Your Willpower Muscle

If you find yourself struggling with your commitment to exercising or to keeping a clean nutrition, don’t be too hard on yourself, according to neuroscientists having willpower is not a character flaw and it could all be down to the physical make up of the brain. Because the part of the brain called prefrontal cortex is the same part of the brain that records our working memory and is in charge of willpower, researchers showed that when the brain is overwhelmed with tasks willpower is very weak.

Making The Grades

Teaching your child to skip the sweets and eat right. You have to eat good foods if you expect your child to do the same. As your children grow they’ll develop individual ideas. But remember they are still children. Don’t expect adult table manners from a preschooler. There’s nothing that fills-up a child’s stomach faster tha “knots” from tension and criticism at the table.

Reaching For The Fit Kid Within

Remember when you were little and you "exercised" because it was fun? You never thought about how many calories you were burning in ballet class or how high you were getting your heart rate in the heat of a soccer game. That was never the point. Now that you're out of grade school, exercise means something different. It's that thing you squeeze in after work or before dinner, feel guilty about skipping and therefore adding even more stress to your life. Somehow, the elliptical trainer or the treadmill doesn't inspire the anticipation and joy that the swimming pool once did.
