Yes!There are foods that actually make us fitter, leaner, and healthier.The more we eat – the better the effect. (Some of the foods are chocolate, coffee, strawberries).They do so by activating an ancient family of genes they call them Sirtuins.Sirtuins are master metabolic regulators that control our ability to burn fat and stay healthy.SirtFoods speak to our sirtuin genes, switching them on. In essence they mimic the effects of fasting and exercise and in doing so bring remarkable benefits of burning fat, building muscle, and boosting health, which were previously unattainable.The SirtFood Diet by Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten.Questions?

Yes, it is important. There is more and more research coming out on TRF, or time restricted feeding, its effects on weight loss, metabolism, health, longevity and it all seems to confirm, at least what we have so far, that eating earlier in the day, following our circadian rhythms, is definitely beneficial for our health. How many benefits and how many processes in our body are influenced by the time of our meals has not been studied well enough but it’s proven that: Early eating helps to control hunger, and benefits digestion and gut health (and we know how gut health is important) Early eating improves absorption of nutrients from food (over-feeding and under-nourishment is an issues in our society) Early eating improves the quality of sleep (most people are sleep deprived) Early eating combined with longer periods between dinner and breakfast helps to make metabolism more flexible, switching from carb burning to fat burning, and helps to burn more fat Listen to full episode for more details, times of meals and meal timing for maximum muscle growth and recovery.

Tune in to understand the basics of calorie counting theory and how and why just counting calories is not a workable strategy.2 practical things you need to apply to your healthy eating/dieting/weight loss strategies to succeed:ONE.Always look for foods, that require more energy to digest them to lose and maintain weight easier – hint, the less processed the food is (raw, slightly steamed etc.), the more fiber it has, the more WHOLE protein it has, the more difficult it is to breakdown, the more energy your body will spend on digestion – the less calories you will absorb and the easier it is to lose/maintain weight. (That’s why eating same amount of calories from Oreos and Broccoli will have different effect).TWO.Portions still matter. Stick to the same kinds of unprocessed whole foods. Change the amount of the SAME foods to adjust your body weight. Play with macronutrients: carbs, proteins and fats to change the amount of fat and muscles you carry.Book mentioned:Catching Fire: How cooking made us human.Questions?

My personal experience, my clients’ successes - they taught me how to have a snack, when you need it, without turning it into hundreds and thousands of calories surplus, sabotaging often your health and weight loss goals and success. So, how to snack smart? Smart snack must: Be Blah… - Be bland in other words, not overexciting your taste buds with flavor! You got to like it, enjoy it, but not too much. If you, like me love cashews, don’t snack on them, because you’ll end up eating all the cashews in sight either now or later. Fill You Up – no matter how good snacking on celery and carrot sticks, or kale chips sounds, you’ll be hungry as soon as you finish eating them. Smart snack must have fat or protein or two combined together to fill your gas tank, eliminate hunger and cravings - and low calorie, carb snacks just don’t do that. TUNE IN to find out what I snack on during the day and before bed, when I feel like I need that extra bit of energy to crush the day… or the pillow! Questions?

Because vegetables especially rich in fiber, that your gut bacteria, trillions of cells that outnumber your human cells 10 to 1 (yes, you are only 10% human), that your gut bacteria NEEDS to survive and prosper, providing you with 90% of your feel-good hormone serotonin, with short-chain fatty acids, with vitamins and hormones, that regulate your hunger, keep you disease and inflammation free – if your gut bacteria is not nourished and well-fed, you will feel hungry, low on energy and your health will be compromised. So eat your vegetables, fresh and cooked, leafy greens, nuts and seeds, avocados. And eat a special type of fiber that is proven to be especially beneficial to your gut bacteria – PREBIOTIC FIBER. Great sources of prebiotic fiber: chicory root dandelion greens garlic Jerusalem artichokes onions leeks cacao beans jicama root flaxseeds asparagus PS Did you know that fiber does not contain any absorbable calories?

I love love love ketogenic diet for SO MANY REASONS! It's the most googled diet of 2017 for A REASON!> GOOGLE IT! ;) To avoid mistakes and make your journey into ketogenic diet easier and more enjoyable keep in mind next things: 1. Eat your veggies. In fact, LOTS OF THEM! Ketogenic diet is not a meat-and-fat diet. Non-starchy low carb veggies. 2. Ketogenic diet is NOT ALL-THE-FAT-YOU-CAN-EAT-AND-DRINK diet. Watch how much you consume. You still can get fat. Even though disaster-pants situation will prevent you from getting obese. 3. Ketogenic diet is NOT HIGH PROTEIN diet. For success you MUST consume just enough protein 0.8-1 g of protein per pound of LEAN body mass. 4. You MUST WATCH THE QUALITY of especially animal foods, fats and proteins you consume. Quality matters a lot!!! Organic, grass-fed meat, wild fish, pasture-raised eggs etc. 5. ELECTROLYTES! I can't stress that enough - get your potassium, sodium (calcium, zinc, magnesium etc.) Use supplement to be on the safe side especially at the beginning. I use VEGA hydrator (sweetened with stevia).

Energy, motivation, good mood, creativity - they are not as meta-physical as you might think. Until I added these five foods to my diet I had mood swings, energy dips and lack of motivation periodically AND cravings for junk food (that I thought were my needs to "unwind"). Now my energy levels are up all the time. I forgot what depressive blues are. I feel good about myself and my life. I have no cravings and often wonder where did all my hunger disappear. 5 foods, you can find some version of them almost anywhere in the world, unless on a deserted island or something.

A lot of people are actually good at losing weight and getting the looks they want. But a lot of people don't know how to maintain it. I believe a lot of it has to do with not being able to create a maintenance lifestyle, not being able to create a lifestyle that supports the body you got losing all that weight. No, you will never be able to keep your progress if you don't change your habits for life. Yes, believe it or not, maintenance is much easier then getting there. Key strategies for maintenance of this new body you got: realize you can't keep your new body without having new lifestyle habits for LIFE! in terms of food, add 100 cal worth of healthy food, like avocados, nuts and seeds, vegetables, maybe some fruit or dairy if it agrees with you, maybe some more dark chocolate here and there, a healthy cookie, 100 cal a day for a week, measure your weight and body fat add 100 cal more keep going until you reach the point where you are ok with you progress and looks and keep you food intake approx. the same allowing indulgences once a week or 10 days DO NOT BINGE DO NOT GO BACK TO YOUR OLD HABITS Old habits will ALWAYS bring you your old body.

Want to lose weight? Get fitter? Start waking up early? Start meditating? Stop eating sugar? … If you want to change ANYTHING about yourself, about your behavior, if you want to change any habits, quit something and start something new, you got to understand one simple thing about your brain – your brain will move you towards, one way or the other, towards whatever you are thinking of the most. Your brain does not understand grammar rules and negatives. Your brain does not understand bad or good emotions. The ONLY thing your brain understands – whatever image, thought (when emotionally charged effect is amplified), action, behavior you think of the most, that’s what you gonna get. End of story. Want to quit sugar? But failing all the time ending up eating that cookie, chocolate or ice-cream again? It’s probably because one way or the other you are always thinking – I got to quit sugar, I got to stop eating cookies, I got to quit chocolate blah blah blah … Your brain hears only one thing – cookies, sugar, ice-cream, chocolate. Your brain doesn’t understand the grammar or negatives. You got to focus COMPLETELY and ENTIRELY on a new behavior. Eating salad every day and lots of vegetables. Cooking healthy desserts. Finding new health food stores to shop for all the healthy stuff. Reading books on a new sexy diet. Connecting with your friends who are into healthy eating constantly talking about quinoa… You got the idea. Want to change something about yourself and your behavior? Think about ONLY where you want to go, what you want to become, what you want to do – visualize it, smell it, taste it… The more you think about it, the faster you’ll become that. Questions?

These are tried and proven personally and professionally methods I use when people are interested in weight loss without counting calories, portions, fats and carbohydrates.Depending where you start you might try 3 of them together. But for most people who are new to weight loss and healthy habits, or been trying unsuccessfully lots of diets, yo-yo weight loss-weight gain strategy, for most people I recommend implementing one level, sticking with it until it becomes second nature and you continue seeing weight loss results happening, for 1-3 month usually. Then you implement and master the next one. Then the next one. You’ll see progressively better results each time. This is an amazing way to change your lifestyle long-term – and that’s ideally what weight loss should be about, permanent and long-term lifestyle change.Level 1: No sugar or sweeteners (except Stevia and similar), no juices, no grains and beans (of any kind in any form), no dairy, no starchy vegetables like potatoes. – This level will give you the most results the fastest.Eat lots of non-starchy vegetables, meat and fish, nuts and seeds (no peanuts, dry-roasted), some fruits here and there (only fresh). Level 2: No liquid calories (smoothies, oils, butters etc.), no snacking, 2-3 meals a day.Level 3: Add training. Strength training 2-3 times a week. I suggest lower-upper body, whole body split. HIIT training 2 times a week.More about this type of dieting and training read on CreateYourself.Today today and over the next few days.Questions?

Guys, boys and girls, understand one simple thing, if you want to succeed in your healthy eating habits, in your weight loss and fitness transformation, understand one simple thing – most of the food on the shelves of the supermarket, 99% of it, is not suited for your long term consumption, I’m talking about packaged food of course, or I’d better say food products, products that have labels, names and require ingredient lists. You got to stop looking at the front of the box or package, you got to stop paying attention to ANY claims on the cover and you need to get obsessed about one thing and one thing only – ingredient list. Food packaging is NOT designed to inform or educate you, to keep you healthy and lean, to give you energy boost or enrich your life with vitamins. Food packaging is designed for one purpose and one purpose only. ANY PRODUCT tries you to sell stuff first and foremost – don’t ever have illusions about that part. Start reading ingredients. Educate yourself about ingredients. Read books. Read my blog. Ask me [email protected] Ask other people you trust. Questions? Want me to talk about your confusions?

I used to give in to my cravings – I thought I needed a cheat day. I used to think I needed to work on my meditation and listen to some more Tony Robbins to boost my motivation and set my mind right. I used to think I needed to reduce my training and take a few days off before I can see any progress. I used to think I needed to make my diet even “cleaner” to break through my weight loss plateaus. ….. The solution, as it turns out, is much simpler and easier and elegant, and yet, most of us would rather work harder, train harder, diet harder, curse our “lazy” self that can’t push harder, we’d rather make our life even more demanding and stressful, than allow ourselves to use this simple life and performance “hack”. That can fix it all in a matter of a couple of days with no work at all. Don’t believe me? Try it! Break through training and weight loss plateaus Get rid of water retention Boost your motivation and creativity Boost your energy Get rid of cravings and never-ending hunger Boost your immune system … TUNE IN!!!

Women do not get bulky because we train too much.We get bulky because we start eating too damn much!I’ve been training since I was 13 in the gym lifting progressively heavier – my max dumbbell shoulder press at the moment is 27.5 LB for example, and squats 25 KG + 50 LB and I still don’t get bulky getting leaner, stronger and tighter instead.Why?Because I watch what I eat and adjust my diet according to the results I see in the mirror and the direction I want to go.Women have just a fraction of men’s amount of testosterone (the hormone in charge of muscle-building ability of our body), 1/16th approx. The only women who bulk up are the professional competitors taking hormones externally through injections and taking other anabolic hormones.Long story short – the only way you can bulk up is to train hard and eat too much. And that bulking up will not be muscle but mostly fat. So forget about tight-toned look, when you start training hard without controlling your food consumption.Train hard. Follow a meal plan. Measure your results. Adjust your diet. Keep training hard.Questions?

You can’t reach your goal by following “just eat healthy” principle. In fact, you can’t reach ANY of your exact goals by following ANY general principle. You need details. You need a plan. You need a strategy. You need to measure the progress AND your strategy. You MUST have your SMART goals. And the strategy MUST be SMART too! Specific: Goals should be simplistically written and clearly define what you are going to do. I need to have 11% body fat. Measurable: Goals should be measurable so that you have tangible evidence that you have accomplished the Goal. Define the method to measure my body fat. Measure it consistently. ... What about avocados? Nuts and seeds? Great food, but you can’t eat a pound of cashews every day and expect to lose weight, even though technically you are low carb and whole foods, sugar and grain free. ... Eating once a day intermittent fasting? Seems like no-lose strategy for sure! It’s so great for cell metabolism and longevity, and you will certainly lose weight eating once a day, won’t you? Not if you eat junk foods, covering thousands of calories with processed foods in one meal spiking your blood sugar like crazy. Not if you eat bags of fruits and nuts in one seating never looking deeper into satisfying your key nutritional needs like omega 3 fatty acids or B12. Heck, my sister used to eat every other day, once a day, eating all the junk she ever wanted – that was when she looked and felt the worst in her entire life! Do you see what I’m saying?!

Did you know, that … “Drinking coffee first thing in the morning does not wake you up, make you alert, or give you an energy boost. All it does, according to science, is raise your tolerance for caffeine so that you need to drink more and more of it to feel any effects at all. When you are about to wake up, your body releases stimulants to get your juices flowing and your heart pumping: a brew of hormones including insulin, adrenaline, and cortisol. Like most of our organs and glands, the adrenal gland (producer of adrenaline and cortisol) has a biological clock of its own. It carefully maintains the cortisol rhythm, a few cycles of releasing and suppressing the fight-or-flight hormone over the course of the day. • If you drink coffee when cortisol level is high, the effects are nonexistent. Compared to cortisol, caffeine is weak tea. The only thing coffee does for you within two hours of waking is to increase your tolerance for caffeine. • If you drink coffee when cortisol level is low, caffeine gently nudges your adrenals to give you a hit of adrenaline, and you will feel more awake and alert. Scientific research and bio-time have provided a very clear schedule for coffee breaks to coincide with cortisol level dips.” THE WORST TIME TO HAVE COFFEE Within two hours of waking. Within six hours of bedtime, especially if you have sleep problems and lots of stress THE BEST TIME TO HAVE COFFEE After two hours of waking. Between 2-3 PM. Especially before you afternoon nap to wake up extra focused, alert and ready to rock the world!!! Questions? Want me to talk about your confusions?

When you eat more protein than your body needs to replace and repair body parts, excess protein is largely converted into glucose and burned as fuel. AND highly processed protein, that we get in the form of powder, is turned into glucose, especially if there is enough protein already in our food, it is turned into glucose or blood sugar really easy, since the body has to do almost no work to digest that protein. That protein can easily contribute to spikes in blood sugar (especially if your protein powder has any kind of added sugar) and blood sugar spikes contribute to resistance to weight loss and fat gain especially in your belly area. Listen to the full episode to learn more about how protein powder contributes to less health, less energy and more fat on your body. Questions? Want me to talk about your confusions?

Resistant Starch. By boiling your favorite starch foods like potatoes, pasta and rice, cooling them in the fridge and re-heating them before eating, we can increase the amount of resistant starch in those foods by about 50%. Keeping blood sugar levels and calories we absorb lower as much as 50%. Keeping blood sugar levels down is one of the major tools for effective weight loss (all the effective low carb diets), especially belly fat loss. Resistant starch is a type of starch that resists digestion and processed by our gut bacteria, that love that resistant starch turning it into known anti-inflammatory substance called butyrate.

The champions are: Olive oil, oily fish like sardines, mackerel, herring, salmon, grass-fed meat (2-3 times a week), eggs Cocoa (preferably in sugar free chocolate or cacao beans), tea, coffee, red wine (not too often and no more than a glass, with as little alcohol as possible) and other polyphenol rich foods Turmeric, that seems to be a real champion, when it comes to control of a good atmosphere of your gut neighborhood – it inhibits growth of bad-behaving guys, bacteria, parasites and fungi, reducing depression, anxiety and even things like eczema and asthma Fiber-rich vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits and grains (you want to eat as little as possible sweet fruits and none of the processed grains to avoid blood sugar spikes). Especially great and absolutely necessary to feed your good tenants are foods rich in prebiotic fiber and inulin – onions, leeks and garlic, chicory, dandelion greens, Jerusalem artichokes, asparagus, bananas (the greener the better for greater resistant starch content, that is also found in potato starch and cooked-chilled-re-heated potatoes and pasta). Seaweed is a champion too, having as additional bonus omega-3 essential fatty acids, reducing inflammation and increasing insulin sensitivity (allowing us to metabolize sugar more efficiently, using it for energy in our cells instead of storing it as fat). And of course you must have heard about probiotic-rich foods, foods that bring new and more of good tenants to your gut, since a lot of them tend to leave (die off) pretty quickly, especially if we don’t treat them well, killing them off with unfavorable foods and lifestyle choices. The most amazing probiotic-rich foods, that by the way work times better than ANY supplement, are sauerkraut and kimchi, cheeses (the smellier the better), and yogurts (no sugar of course). Besides that, to take care of your gut friends, you want to exercise (not too much), fast or intermittent fast (not eating for 12 hours and more, or reducing your calories to 500 or so a day, once or twice a week), sleep well, keep your window open and get dirty often.
