With a little planning and foresight you can somewhat avoid this diet disaster, and below i have listed some low calorie alcoholic drinks you should look at.

Change is a curious thing. In most areas of life you dread it, yet in others you pine for it. You're told that change is hard, that it takes time. You're also told that change is the most consistent thing that you'll encounter. You wonder how to make lasting changes that will improve your life. I'm here to argue that change can happen in an instant. I know this goes against mainstream belief. Most people believe that change has to be worked at for months or even years. We expect to try and fail numerous times before we ultimately give up or succeed. ]]> http://www.nolatrainer.com/2010/06/14/new-orleans-can-you-change-in-a-single-moment/ Stepping out your Comfort Zone in New Orleans 5 Ways To Step Out of Your Comfort Zone in New Orleans

A Fitness Blog Post by: Leanne Ellington, Orlando Body Transformation Expert

It's easy to get stuck inside of comfort. Afterall, comfort keeps us safe-- it keeps us nurtured. More importantly though, comfort saves us from ever having to step outside the box and try new things-- it saves us from failing. But who says that failing is a bad thing? Isn't it our mistakes that teach us new things, life-lessons, and give us valuable take-aways? Eventually though, it will be time for you to step away from the known and venture out into new and exciting things. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the scarier things to do in life, but it's all the more rewarding. I'm giving you 5 ways to make that transition a little bit easier and step outside of your comfort zone.]]> http://www.nolatrainer.com/2010/06/11/stepping-out-your-comfort-zone-in-new-orleans/ New Orleans Boot Camp Home Workout New Orleans Boot Camp Home Workout

A unique tool for achieving a healthy weight in New Orleans

This is a Guest fitness Blog post by Laura Kalina, RD, MAdEd, a registered dietitian and author of Low GI Meals in Minutes Cookbook

The obesity epidemic is the greatest health care crisis to hit the modern western world. Even more alarming, it is now predicted that over 30 per cent of the next generation will develop diabetes sometime in their lives. We have become an overfed, undernourished nation because of poor lifestyle habits. High glycemic index (GI) diets and lack of exercise are largely to blame. ]]> http://www.nolatrainer.com/2010/06/02/using-the-glycemic-index-for-healthy-weightloss-in-new-orleans/ Why Steady State Cardio Actually Sucks in New Orleans Why Steady State Cardio Actually Sucks in New Orleans(as a primary fat loss tool)

There are 2 major reasons in my book why standard cardio is a big loser for fat loss.

nola-steady-cardio Reason 1 The first is EPOC. EPOC stands for Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption. Basically what EPOC does is tells us how long it takes the body to return to its pre-exercise metabolic rate. So after a bout of intense exercising your body will continue to burn extra calories for a certain period of time. From a fat loss perspective, the longer the EPOC the better. Some activities like weight training have an EPOC of 30 plus hours. The EPOC for steady state cardio is approximately zero. Yessir, give or take when you step off that treadmill or bike you are done burning calories - done. ]]> http://www.nolatrainer.com/2010/04/27/why-steady-state-cardio-actually-sucks-in-new-orleans/ Making the Invisible, VISIBLE!
