    How does a person not only lose weight, but keep the unwanted body fat from coming back? Let me first say that it's always easier said than done. However, one of the keys to constant and never ending improvement when it comes to keeping control of our waistline and living lean and diet free is competence. Another key, (arguably the most important) which I will address in my next blog is motivation (mindset).

    Yes, there are other ingredients to both achieving your weight loss goals and being able to optimize a healthy lifestyle, but competence when it comes to food, fitness and mindset are how you're going to maximize both fat loss and a diet free life.

    There are many diets on the market that promise weight loss, but after experiencing the Food Lovers Fat Loss System (the education and experience) - you and I know these "diets" are lies. They are false promises gone bad and what I mean by this is that they do not empower a person, but cause them to become co-dependent on deprivation and restriction.

    So how do you continue to upgrade your knowledge - your "know how" as it pertains to food, fitness and mindset? You continue searching and seeking knowledge and a better understanding of both what you already believe you know and what you haven't learned yet. Go back and read the 21 Day Metabolism Makeover and listen to the audio CDs again and again. Take a few moments each day or once a week and read and make notes on the "How to Make a Fat Loss Plate" booklet. Go through the Snack and Treat Guide and make notes. Draw a line through products that are no longer available and add products that you have discovered in your grocery store. Even with the Food Lovers Fat Loss System - don't stop with what you've learned, but continue to invest time and energy in your education as it pertains to food, fitness and mindset.

    Each week I provide a Fat Loss Tuesday Webinar where I answer your questions about food, fitness and mindset. You can listen and participate live or take advantage of the replay. You can download it and burn it on an audio CD so you listen while you drive or download directly to your iPod - but do take advantage of the weekly Webinar.

    Each week we announce the Webinar (click here) here. Again, I do this Webinar for you.

• Nutrition vs. Exercise: Which Nutrition vs. Exercise: Which is better?

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    This blog is in response to the following question:

    I’ve heard that nutrition is more important than exercise, but I also know that if you don’t exercise you may not lose weight. Is exercise more important than nutrition or is nutrition more important than exercise when it comes to weight loss?  – Sue C., Email

    Whenever I am re-introduced to this age-old question I can’t help but smile and think to myself that long after I leave this earth, I am sure this question will remain apart of the “diet debate”. I find this question similar to the ongoing debate of whether a boxer would defeat a wrestler or if a karate practitioner would win against a street fighter. When it comes down to it however, it’s not primarily the style, but the individual. When it comes to weight loss, success is not determined solely on the diet, but based upon to individual to include his or her metabolism, genetics, and past experience with dieting and exercise to name a few.

    Consider this: Some people can eat whatever they want and exercise a little and still lose weight. Others will go to the gym and sweat for two to three hours just to lose a pound. And there are some people who no matter how little calories they eat and how long they exercise, weight loss is a slow process.

    To answer your question, you can optimize weight loss and simultaneously improve your health; both exercise and nutrition are to be implemented. I know there are some people who say nutrition is 80 percent of weight loss success and others endorse exercise. The reality is that one without the other makes for an incomplete approach to not only releasing fat, but keeping the weight off for good.

    Not long ago I operated a weight loss office inside a health club and to my surprise, each and every day, year after year, the people who worked out daily continued to look the same and many actually gained a few pounds. This observation helped me understand that having a health club membership doesn’t mean you are going to lose weight. The oxymoron to this observation is that 99 percent of the people who join a health club do so because they wanted to lose weight.

    On the flip side, people who don’t embrace exercise but focus primarily on their nutrition almost always lose weight. The challenge is that they lose muscle in the process. This muscle loss slows metabolism so that they gain even more weight when they start eating “normally” again.

    The father of fitness and our friend and mentor, Jack LaLanne says, “Exercise is king and nutrition is queen. Put them together, and you have a kingdom,” and I totally agree. Choosing to focus more on exercise over nutrition or vice versa is not how you optimize weight loss.

    Over 2,000 years ago the father of modern day medicine, Hippocrates said, “If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.” This statement and philosophy continues to ring true today.

    My recommendation is that you eat healthfully, practice portion control and exercise consistently. Avoid taking an all-or-nothing approach to weight loss. Instead, keep with the baby steps and begin with a balanced breakfast and eat every two to three hours – up to one hour prior to bed. Exercise a minimum of 30-minutes, three or more times a week. If you are already exercising, consider changing up your routine and possibly increasing the duration or intensity of your exercise methods.

    Lastly, equalize your efforts when it comes to exercise and nutrition. And as you implement this balanced approach to achieving your weight loss goals, invest the same amount of energy into maintaining a positive mental attitude.

    When I wake up in the morning and sometimes turn on the television I see it - YES, the infomercial for the Food Lovers Fat Loss System. And YES, I watch it everytime. I guess I've probably watched the infomercial four or five hundred times

    Please know that I don't watch it because I like watching myself and my clients sharing their story. It's actually the only media I watcch of myself. Seriously, I have not watched the episode of Mo'Nique, my appearances on CNN or any other network or program. But, I do watch the infomercial because it's the reality of a dream come true. For nearly 20 years I've wanted to team up with an infomercial company and share with you and others a way to break free of the negatives associated with dieting. So watching the infomercial is the physical truth of a dream come true.

    Then, I come to this site and read your blogs. It humbles me big time to be a part of your life and I will forever cherish the reality that you have given me a chance to be part of your life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I wasn't sure what I was going to share in this week's blog, but I am happy to be able to share. I am truly a person of the people and a servant for God. Thank you for your trust and I wish everyone continued success.

    Consider this blog a sharing of thankfulness and appreciation.

• 3 Ps to Faster Fat Loss 3 Ps to Faster Fat Loss

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    For years I have witnessed clients get in the way of their own success because of how they think. It is no secret that we are constantly in conversation with ourselves, and if that inner dialogue isn’t positive, it can be extremely discouraging. Knowing this, I have helped many people become more aware of what they are thinking, so that each time they catch themselves entering into negative self-talk, they can immediately come up with at least ten positive thoughts to counteract each negative. We really need to be aware of what we are telling ourselves and be sure that our internal dialogue is supportive of our motivation and our goals. I tell my clients that they need to remember the three Ps:

    • Positive
    • Present
    • Personalized

    We must be as aware of how we address ourselves as we are of the way we talk to others. Speak in positive terms; speak as if what you want were happening now; and be certain that what you focus on is specific to you.

    To help you implement the three Ps, consider the following tips:

    1. Repeat to yourself several times throughout the day what it is you want, but do it in a way that assumes it’s already happened. For example, you might say, “I am reducing my waistline daily.” Or, “I am constantly and consistently giving myself every opportunity to lose weight.” Remember, all your positive statements are to be in the present, not in the future.

    As you affirm the statement to yourself you are internalizing it so that your mind absorbs it and embraces it as a command.

    2. Use positive words when speaking and thinking. Positive words encourage and create positive emotions. What you say out loud is a manifestation of the way you think. At first, using positive words may take a lot of conscious effort, but soon it becomes a habit and you’ll find yourself feeling optimistic and upbeat instead of falling prey to negative thoughts when faced with moments of concern or challenge.

    3. Create mental pictures of where you want to be. Doing that will fuel the achievement of what you’d like to see. If you can create a mental image of your future self and affirm with your words what you are achieving, you will significantly increase your positive outlook and your ability to bring your goals to fruition.

    4. The more emotions you can evoke when making your positive statements the greater their impact will be. So, instead of saying simply, “I am eating the right foods and losing weight,” you might say, “I appreciate being able to eat real food and lose weight.”

     By attaching a feeling of appreciation to what you are accomplishing you will instantly boost your positive feelings about yourself.

    5. When it comes to the frequency of making positive statements you can never overdo it. I recommend that you write your statements on an index card and keep it by your bed so that you can read your statements to yourself just before you go to sleep and as soon as you wake up. Also keep cards with your statements in your pocket, in your car, on your desk—wherever they will remind you to repeat them throughout the day.

    Wishing you much success!

• Fat Loss Hormone #2 Fat Loss Hormone #2

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    In my recent blog I shared insight into the hormone insulin. In this blog, I want to share with you the effects of another hormone when it comes to maximizing fat loss.

     

    So if carbs trigger insulin, which in turn can result in fat storage, why not simply cut out carbs completely—which was the basis for the Atkins diet? The answer to that lies with another hormone—glucagon.

     

    If your blood sugar drops too low—because you’re not eating enough carbs or because you’re not eating often enough—your body triggers the release of glucagon, another hormone secreted by the pancreas that is closely related to insulin. The glucagon then signals the liver and muscles to convert stored glycogen back into glucose and circulate it back into your bloodstream.

     

    So let’s say you’re busy working on some kind of project and you forget to eat. At some point you start to feel ravenous, so you tell yourself you’ll just finish what you’re doing and then you’ll get something to eat. You may have noticed that after a while, you don’t feel hungry any more. That’s because your low blood sugar has triggered the release of glucagon, your liver has converted glycogen back into glucose, and you now have glucose in your bloodstream again. Once there’s glucose in the blood again, your body releases more insulin, and the vicious cycle of rising and falling blood sugar levels, fat burning and fat storing, is set into motion.

     

    Therefore, you do need to eat carbs, and you need to eat them often enough to prevent your blood sugar from falling too low. Carbohydrates are the primary source of fuel for your brain and your body, so carbs are your friend, not your enemy. And there are no carbs that are off-limits. You just need to eat them in the right combinations and portion sizes to satisfy your body and brain without spiking your blood sugar levels so that you are able to maximize fat loss.

     

    In my next blog I'll share the third of four hormones in this four-part series. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Enjoy!

• Fat Loss Hormone #1 Fat Loss Hormone #1

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    In my most recent blog I said that I would follow up and begin sharing with you some of the science behind the Food Lovers Fat Loss System™. To do this I am going to provide insight into four hormones that have a direct link to weight gain and our ability to maximize fat loss. The first hormone is one that you may already be familiar with: Insulin.

    Insulin and Blood Sugar Levels
    Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. The human body requires a steady amount of glucose throughout the day for energy, and that glucose comes from the foods—specifically the carbohydrates—we eat. Not all carbs are packed with glucose however. Carrots are 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose for instance. Apples are 33 percent glucose and 67 percent fructose. The difference being that all carbs are not created equal and it is glucose that has the relationship with insulin, not fructose. So the higher a food is in glucose the greater the potential it has in triggering the secretion of insulin.

    Please understand that insulin is not a bad thing. It's actually a very good thing. As well, glucose is not a bad thing. Matter of fact, the consumption of glucose supports mental energy, better physical performance and your ability to burn fat more efficiently. So, in no way do you want to avoid glucose. You simply want to learn to eat it in a way that benefits your waistline and general well-being.

    Back to insulin
    I often refer to insulin as the fat-storing hormone because it is insulin that triggers the removal of glucose from our blood for storage in our liver, muscles, cells, and adipose (fat) tissue. What people with diabetes have known for some time is that if you consume too many carbohydrates at one time you can flood your blood with sugar, which then increases the amount of insulin in your blood and the amount of sugar that is likely to get stored as fat.

    Here’s the relationship: most carbohydrates you eat are metabolized as glucose (sugar) in your body. When your body senses that there is glucose in your bloodstream, it triggers the release of insulin from your pancreas. The insulin then removes the glucose from the blood. Some of that glucose is burned as fuel to support all your bodily functions, and the rest is converted to glycogen (the storage form of glucose) and stored in the liver and muscles. But if there’s more glucose in your blood than you can store in your liver and muscles or need to burn as fuel, what’s leftover gets stored as fat. When that happens, I call it a food flood. By keeping your level of blood sugar from fluctuating too high or too low you prevent those spikes in glucose levels that result in the release of insulin and, therefore, more fat storage.

    How much glucose?
    I was recently asked, “There's another weight loss program out there that recommends no more than 15 grams of sugar a day. What do you think about that?” Here’s the deal, I don’t think much of a program that would restrict carbs or sugar to no more than 15 grams. Our body and brain’s primary source of fuel is carbs. We maximize fat burning when we are eating carbs. If anything, make sure you are getting at least 100 grams of carbs as part of your daily intake of food. By enjoying a fat loss plate for breakfast, lunch and dinner you are getting a minimum of 90 grams of carbohydrates, and between one of your snacks I’m sure you’ll get that additional 10.

    In my next blog I’ll share with you the distant cousin of insulin and how this hormone [glucagon] also attributes to your making the most of your fat loss or actually hindering your success.

• Food Lovers vs. Popular Diets Food Lovers vs. Popular Diets - Part 1

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    What is the difference between the Food Lovers Fat Loss System and other methods of weight loss like South Beach, Atkins’, Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers to name a few? Recently, I had a conversation with a couple of marketing executives that felt my method for losing weight was more or less the same as other popular diets. At first, I was heated because I’ve known these people for many years and expected more from them. But, like most people who diet, these executives are no different. They have a “diet mentality” and they truly don’t get the unique differences between popular diets and what I do.

    To help you better communicate key differences between the Food Lovers Fat Loss System and other approaches to weight loss, I decided to write a blog on what I refer to as the 3 Ms: 1) Method 2) Measure ) 3) Mindset.

    Understanding the 3 Ms is a start to pointing out key differences between the Food Lovers Fat Loss System and popular diets. I believe that knowing these key differences will empower you to keep doing what you’re doing and hopefully teach others go from a diet mentality to a mindset that is diet free.

    Method
    There are many methods to losing weight. You could eat less and exercise more. You could avoid certain food groups (carbs, fat, processed foods). You could also count calories, rely on prepackaged foods or use the Glycemic Index. Or, you can keep go with the Food Lovers Fat Loss System and learn to eat to your cultural desires. What I mean by this is that you can learn true customization, which is eating the same foods that probably caused you to gain weight, but instead you lose it. If you want macaroni and cheese, you learn how to eat it in a way where you keep control of your blood sugar levels so that you are better able to maximize fat loss.

    Again, there are many methods to losing weight, but then again, is the method you are using helping you lose fat or lose all-important lean muscle tissue. If you are following Weight Watchers or some other method, how are you measuring your progress? Are you using the scale? If so, you may be losing the wrong weight. Are you using the BMI (body mass index)? Again, you may be losing the wrong weight.

    If the method you are using to lose weight is anything other than body composition, you may want to change what you’re doing.

    Measure
    At the turn of the 20th century Wilbur Atwater 1902 (pioneer of U.S. Food Pyramid) popularized a new approach to weight loss called “counting calories.” This method is still the most used approach to losing weight; however, this age-old method does not take into consideration what type of weight are you losing? No matter what method of weight loss you go with, the key is to measure true progress and that means understanding how to lose fat and not merely weight.

    How you measure your weight loss is another key determinant that separates my program from your typical diets. We measure progress by conducting a body composition analysis and not merely going by your bathroom scale.
    When a person loses weight primarily from their lean body mass (e.g., water, blood, bones, connective tissue, organs, and lean muscle tissue), guess what? You slow your metabolism and in time you are likely to gain the weight back. This is a huge difference between Food Lovers and popular diets. Again, we measure progress by keeping a close eye on fat loss and not merely the dial on the bathroom scale.

    Mindset
    The third “M” is mindset and arguably it is the most important aspect to both releasing body fat and establishing the lifestyle-habits where you don’t gain the weight back. Let’s face it, if you are avoiding food groups and feeling restricted and deprived as you lose weight, it’s only a matter of time before you feel defeated and get frustrated. It doesn’t have to be that way. With the Food Lovers Fat Loss System you learn the value of setting new goals every eight weeks, and how to keep your motivation in high gear. Knowledge is power and the way you keep yourself motivated is largely influenced by your competence level.

    You can learn a lot from popular diet programs and again, you can lose weight, but what type of weight are you losing? And if the majority of the weight you’re losing is coming from your lean body mass, what can you do to correct it? With the Food Lovers Fat Loss System I teach you how to correct it and as you continue to learn how your body works, success in achieving your weight loss goal is as predictable as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West.

    NEXT BLOG
    In my next blog I am going to share with you the modern-day science behind the Food Lovers Fat Loss System. I’ll begin with the role of blood sugar levels and their hormone relationship to how you can maximize fat loss instead of gaining unwanted body fat.

• Diet Lies Diet Lies

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    “The question is not what you look at, but what you see.” – Henry David Thoreau

    Can you lose weight on a diet that claims you must avoid foods like bread, potatoes and cereal according to your body, metabolism or blood type? Can you lose weight on a point system where the food you eat is tallied and you can’t exceed a certain number of points daily? Can you lose weight eating only prepackaged meals? The answer to all these questions is YES. When you set your mind to stick to a diet, no matter what kind it is, if you stick to it long enough you’ll lose weight. The ultimate question is can you lose weight the right type of weight (fat) with these programs and keep it off for a lifetime?

    When I present my seminar Live Diet Free Forever I ask these above questions in my opening. What I’ve learned over the years is that these questions set the stage for everyone to be open and honest, and also, it helps us come together and understand that it’s not a question of losing the weight, but losing it and knowing that how you shed the inches and dropped the pounds is a way of eating you can live with.

    In this seminar I also ask everyone to raise their hand if they’ve lost weight by dieting? Practically every hand is raised. Then, I ask if most of us have lost weight before and we know how to do it, why are we here? One of the best answers I can recall that received a round of applause was this: “I want to learn how to lose weight and keep it off without having to feel like I’ve been abandoned once I get the weight off.” What this lady was saying resonated with everyone because diets can promise a lifestyle and many can help you get the weight off, but the large majority of diets take you from point A to point B, and you can’t imagine eating this way for a lifetime.

    One of the goals of the Food Lovers Fat Loss System is to help you better understand regardless of your situation (e.g., diabetic, gluten sensitive) that you can maximize fat loss by simply keeping your blood sugar levels from fluctuating too high or low.  Then, once you have gotten rid of the unwanted body fat, you continue to adhere to a diet free life and keep the weight off for a lifetime.
     
    Lies and false promises
    To live diet free for life you need to be able to recognize the false promises and lies often touted by diets. When you can recognize the false promise and lie being offered by a diet, you can avoid falling prey to it. Case in point: when a diet says you shouldn’t eat certain foods (to lose weight) because of your body type or blood type, that’s a lie. When a prepackaged weight loss plan says their plan is a lifestyle that may be a false promise (unless you choose to live on prepackaged food for a lifetime). Recognizing diet lies and false promises is a key for keeping your distance from a diet mentality and better able to enjoy a diet free lifestyle.

    Here’s the deal
    You can lose weight on a body, blood or metabolism type diet, because you are still making changes to your nutrition habits. Lucy M. lost weight on a body type weight loss program and one of the foods she avoided was cereal. The program lied to her and for four years she avoided cereal. Did she lose weight? Yes. But could she have lost the weight eating cereal? Absolutely. The same thing happened to Marie C. who read a book about what foods she should and shouldn’t eat based on her blood type. She lost weight and like Lucy, she eventually gained it all back and went on to another lie until she discovered how you can eat the same foods these diet plans said you can’t and still lose weight. Lucy and Marie are both witnesses to what I’m saying as they both went on to learn how to lose weight eating the same foods that they once believed were off limits.

    Matching your lifestyle
    If you switch your eating habits because you were diagnosed as being gluten sensitive, that’s not a lie, but it may be an unwanted reality. The restrictions you now have with your nutrition habits if you’re gluten sensitive don’t mean you are on a diet. Remember, a diet free life is in your mind (your world’s view) and you simply choose to eat in a way that supports your unique circumstances. This also goes for someone who is diabetic (type 1 or 2) or better able to maximize both fat loss and quality of life by avoiding certain ingredients or foods.

    Let’s face it; if you are allergic to peanuts, it’s in your best interest to avoid recipes that are made with peanuts. As part of a diet free life you accept the reality (unwanted or wanted) that you can only control what’s within your control. Even when it comes to keeping your blood sugar from fluctuating too high or too low, whether you’re type 1 diabetic and need to inject insulin in your body or you are constantly on the watch to avoid gluten because of the negative effects on your body and health, the key is to do what is within your control and accept what isn’t.

    Nutrition Tip
    If you choose to eat fried, consider the flour or meal used to cook the protein a fast carb portion. If it’s a fried fast carb (e.g., fries), eat half a portion and when it’s a slow carb keep in mind that you’re also eating a fast carb (e.g., fried zucchini).

• Making Right Decisions Making Right Decisions

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    As you know, the mind is a powerful thing, and as it pertains to losing weight and never experiencing the negatives of dieting again, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. summed it up best in his August 16, 1967 speech when he said: “As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery." If there is a secret weapon in the achievement of anything worthwhile I would say it’s the mind. I remind myself regularly of a quote from Henry Ford: "To see a thing clearly in the mind makes it begin to take form." The reason I often remind myself of this quote from Dr. King, Jr. and now share it with you, is because I know that success and failure, frustration and achievement, are first experienced in the mind before they will ever be manifested in the body. My connection with Henry Ford is that if you can succeed in your mind, it’s only a matter of time before you achieve your desired waistline. Behavior specialists are known to agree that whatever is impressed in your mind is expressed in reality.

    An online dictionary defines mindset as a fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to an interpretation of situations. Simply put, to make a conscious decision about something is to have the mindset for a specific outcome. It’s true that you may have made a decision to lose weight in the past but have fallen short of your goal. This is why your decision must be in alignment with your mindset. It is the constant and never-ending nurturing of your mindset that is going to serve as the catalyst to realizing your goals based on the decisions you have made. According to the dictionary, when you have the mindset to lose weight and keep it off – you have already succeeded and it’s merely a matter of time before that you believe to be true comes to fruition.

    TIPS/SUGGESTIONS

    Write down three things that are taking place in your life right now; whether you realize it or not, these things all began with a decision. For instance, you may have decided to join a church and you are still attending regularly. You may have decided to get married and you’re still married. You may have made a decision to purchase a health club membership and you’re still paying to work out at that club.

    What are three things that are currently taking place in your life and you can remember making the decision to do whatever it is: even though you may not remember making a decision that caused it to be happening.

    1)

    2)

    3)

    Decision-making is often trapped by procrastination. Simply put, people put off making a decision in fear of not knowing what the outcome will be or if it will work out in their favor. I do not want you to put off making the decision to live diet free. I want you to decide today. You don’t need to know the “how” of how you’re going to do it. This may surprise you, but implementing the Food Lovers Fat Loss System is a physical demonstration that you have made a decision. Now you know, and it is time to express your mindset (determined mental attitude), by writing down three decisions you have made that will assist you in both losing weight and keeping it off for a lifetime. This doesn’t mean everything is going to unfold perfectly. Part of having the mindset to achieve great things is allowing the strength of your mental attitude and the desire to be adaptable and creative through the process to help you figure out ways to succeed -  even when it looks like you’re faced with many obstacles.

    Your decisions may be to continue with Strategy 1 of Food Lovers for Life. Maybe your decision is Stategy 2. Your decision may be to begin exercising once a week. Your decision may be to find 10 minutes a day to read positive books that reinforce your mindset. Decide on three things you can do (action steps) that support your goal – these will become a part of your mindset:

• 5 Fat Loss Questions 5 Fat Loss Questions

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    The genesis of change, positive or negative, begins with awareness. For the most part, knowledge is the primary basis for becoming aware of a situation or circumstance that you want to change. Over the years thousands of people have walked into my clinic with the desire to lose weight. Sometimes they want to lose weight and look good because they are pulled toward a special occasion or event like a wedding or reunion. At other times, they are pushed into doing something about their weight by their doctor. In either case, like a lost ship at sea, navigating its way to its destination, it is only until the captain becomes aware that it is off -course that change (correction) can then take place.

    Consider this: it is very common that when people experience a health scare (such as breast cancer) about themselves or a loved one, it is then they begin volunteering and doing whatever is within their power to contribute to the cause. Because of and through your own personal experiences, you gain awareness and then begin doing what you can to bring about change.

    To Do List

    Today I want you to raise your awareness by becoming very conscious of everything you hear, see and experience as it relates to both yourself and others. Without judging others, observe how other people eat, listen closely to their words and what they say, and heighten your awareness of the behaviors of those who are overweight, as well as those who are not. Keep detailed notes of your observations in your journal.

    Call someone close to you who has known you for a while (e.g., family member, close friend, co-worker) and ask for their help. It’s simple – you have five questions and you need them to be open and honest with you. If they ask what this is for, be honest and share with them you would like to keep the conversation private. Then, share that you are doing homework for a project and after a few weeks you will be able to share more.

    Ask the following questions in this order and remind your friend that you are not going to get upset and their honesty will sincerely help you bring about the most success with this project.

    Question 1: I am in the process of losing weight. Did you realize I could lose a few pounds?

    Question 2: How long do you think I have wanted to lose weight?

    Question 3: In your opinion, what would you say is the reason or reasons I’m overweight?

    Question 4: What do you think is going to be my biggest challenge in losing weight and keeping it off?

    Question 5: When it comes to nutrition, exercise and mindset when losing weight, which do you think is my biggest strength and why?

    In my follow up blog I will share with you how to use this informational interview to help you move forward and keep on the fast track to living diet free.

• WHY Lose Weight? WHY Lose Weight?

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    You must already be motivated to lose weight or else you wouldn’t be reading this blog, and now I’d like you to really examine that motive. It needs to be strong enough to carry you through to your initial goal and flexible enough to take you to the next level.

    Jocelyn C., for example, was motivated to lose weight because she was getting married in four months and wanted to look her best for her wedding. She had a goal and a motivation for achieving it, and I knew that combination would ensure her success. In fact, Jocelyn did lose almost 50 pounds before her wedding day, but then she gained it back. Why? Because once she lost the weight and got married she lost her motivation and never established a new goal that would reinforce her successful body transformation.

    Fortunately, Jocelyn finally contacted me again about two years after she’d gained all the weight back. I shared with her the fine line between being motivated and having a goal. In short, I helped her to understand that motivation is actually the “why”–the reason you want to achieve the goal. A goal is nothing more than a realistic and clearly defined destination. Once you reach your destination (goal), it is important to establish a new goal, which is again fueled by the reason (motivation) you want to achieve it.

    Jocelyn’s new goal was to lose 60 pounds at a rate of 10 pounds every four weeks, and her motivation was to feel better about herself. Frankly put, she was fed up with feeling like a failure, feeling tired all the time, and having to settle for wearing her fat clothes. So she set her sights on happy emotions—feeling good about herself and her body. Within five months it became evident that her motivation was real because she lost the 50 pounds she’d regained plus another 10 and established another new goal to lower her percentage of body fat every eight weeks until she reached an athletic 18 percent body fat.

    To keep moving forward it is best to constantly keep establishing new reasons for doing what you’re doing—or else you’ll simply stop doing it. So let’s say that, like Jocelyn, you were initially motivated to lose weight for a particular occasion—a class reunion or a visit from an old friend, or to get into a bathing suit when you go on vacation. And let’s say you do lose weight. What’s your new motivation once the event has come and gone? You might then motivate yourself to complete a half-marathon for a cause such as breast cancer awareness or to invent a dozen new recipes you love that support your new way of eating and that you can share with friends.

    The point is that your short- and long-term success is maximized when you continue to provide yourself with reasons to keep going, and the reasons need to be meaningful to you. As you continue to find those reasons, over time you’ll experience a paradigm shift and the motivation will go from being extrinsic (I do it for these reasons) to something that is intrinsic (simply the way you live your life).

• Create Better Fat Loss Create Better Fat Loss

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    Did you know that it’s human nature to focus on the negatives of a situation instead of the positives? When it comes to our bodies, for instance, we are more prone to think about our problem areas instead of highlighting our attributes. As unfortunate as this is, it doesn’t have to be this way and you can learn to keep your mind on your strengths and opportunities in all situations and circumstances.

    When I used to teach martial arts we’d have philosophical discussions about whether or not the glass is half full or half empty. If you said half empty you were considered a pessimist. If you immediately announced that the glass is half full, you were considered to be an optimist. Most people will recognize that the glass is half empty at that moment. And you’ll notice with most people that see it half empty, they also see the negative in most every other area of their life.

    Consider this: the pessimist who gets fired or loses his or her job may get depressed or begin thinking how they’ll most likely not find another job. An optimistic approach is to quickly view this same situation as a blessing in disguise. You may not know what your next job will be or where you will find it, but when you choose to be optimistic, you can continue to be creative and assured, and better able to take the necessary steps to find employment.

    Place Your Focus
    When on the path to achieving your best body and upgrading your overall health and energy, you must purposely, deliberately and with full intent place your focus on the positives of each and every situation. You CAN find the positive in all things, but it won’t come easily unless you make the choice to find it.

    When you wake up in the morning, get excited about what you are going to experience that day. When your alarm goes off 30 minutes early, I want you to look at the situation as getting an extra 30 minutes of LIFE instead of being frustrated that you didn’t get all your sleep. When you arrive at work and your first appointment cancels with no notice, shift your focus on what you will be able to get done because of their cancellation instead of focusing on how this person has ruined your day.

    There is a positive outcome for every situation. If you step on the scale and the weight isn’t going in the direction you were hoping for, ask yourself what you can do to move the needle in the right direction. Opportunities are always in front of you if you are open to recognizing them.

    Lastly, when you focus on the negative, you lose strength in your ability to be creative with your given circumstance. Keep the creative juices flowing and you’ll see how you’re better able to take advantage of the situation and to upgrade the place in which you find yourself.

    Your strength lies in keeping your mind on what you can do rather than on what you cannot. Being at your best is easiest when you can see the opportunities instead of the setbacks.

• No "Bad" Carbs No "Bad" Carbs

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    Did you know that there are no bad carbs? Only "bad" ways to eat them, which is usually in an abundance at one time.

    See, there are two basic categories of carbs: "fast" carbs (like bread, pasta, wine and desserts) and "slow" carbs (broccoli, beans, peas and tomatoes). The bad rap that fast carbs have gotten are primarily due to the glycemic index, but as you learned in a previous blog titled "Glycemic What?" you can't rely on this measurement because you don't always eat everything listed on the glycemic index in the amounts of 50 grams of carbs. If you did, that would mean eating 3 ½ slices of bread or one pound of carrots in a single meal.

    What we do know however, is that if you reduce your carbs because of your concerns with how they measure on the glycemic index, not only will you be missing out on delicious and nutritious food - you may experience low energy, reduced mental clarity and find yourself rarely satisfied when it comes to feelings of satiety. Matter of fact, UCLA studies have shown that combining fast carbs, slow carbs and protein increases production of the appetitite-suppressing hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 by 20 percent and boost hunger controlling hormone cholecystokinin.

    There are other studies that suggest that carb combining can lower blood pressure by 20 percent, cut triglycerides by 75 percent and reduce diabetes risk by 67 percent. So as you are less likely to feel hungry because you're eating carbs, you can also keep in mind that you are eating formerly forbidden food, but doing so in a way where you can reduce your waistline and upgrade your overall health and well-being.

    This is your time to never diet again and enjoy your favorite carbs without the guilt. Here is another reason why you want to put into practice the principles of the Food Lovers Fat Loss System: Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond found that people wanting to lose weight who ate breakfast containing protein and carbs lose four times more than people who choose to go with a low-carb (low glycemic index) way of eating.

    When it's all said and done, the key to maximizing life and your waistline is eating foods you love, but in proportions that support the body you want versus that of a diet yo-yo. Continue to take what you learn with Food Lovers and put into practice. As I always share with my clients, "It's not what you know, but what you put into practice that will provide you with the results you desire."

• Diet Delays …. Diet Delays ….

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    Can you lose weight on a program that says you must avoid certain foods based on your body type? Is it true that you can lose weight counting calories, eating prepackaged meals and eating fewer carbohydrates? The answer is yes, you can lose weight with these diet approaches and many others. What people who fall prey to such diets don’t realize is that diets are nothing but lies turned inside out.

    For instance, imagine meeting a conman who tells you that you can lose weight if you avoid potatoes because of your body type. You take out potatoes and then you lose weight. Or maybe this same conman tells you that because of your body type you shouldn’t eat soy products. You implement these suggestions and lose weight. The reason I refer to these suggestions as coming from a conman is because you can lose weight with or without eating potatoes or soy products. You can lose weight eating the same foods that caused you to gain weight as long as you eat them in a way that doesn’t cause your blood sugar to soar too high or dip too low.

    When I hear about the above kinds of diets I quickly acknowledge that it’s a lie. You may lose weight in the short-term, but in the long-term, the discomfort, disappointment and partial depression that result from gaining the weight back are just around the corner. Frankly put, to diet is to delay your discovery of the truth when it comes to eating healthfully and achieving real fat loss that is not just temporary.

    I understand that most of us, if we are honest with ourselves, tend to be less excited about long-term success than ABOUT that which we can achieve NOW. Author and business lecturer, Brian Tracy, says most people fall prey to the philosophy of “Short-term gain for long-term pain” instead of the success principle of “Short-term pain for long-term gain.” Diets promise you weight loss with a plan that is full of diet lies. You may get the short-term weight loss but over time you’ll find yourself back at square one. Instead, go with the success principle of a lifestyle approach – eating real food based on your real life, and as the weight comes off, you’ll be better able to sustain your success.

    It’s no secret that when we are ready to lose weight – we want it to have happened yesterday. One of the most difficult principles of sustainable fat loss is being able to delay gratification. When I created the Food Lovers Fat Loss System I based it on the desire to EDUCATE you on nutrition, and as you EMBRACE the learning curve you will also be EMPOWERED with both the knowledge and life skills to slim down and keep the weight off for a lifetime.

    I want to encourage you to keep your feet on the pedals of life and continue moving toward your target weight. As you go, inspire others to look beyond simple diets and to seize the opportunity to enhance their lives by using food as a means of becoming lean and healthy. This is YOUR life and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to be an asset in helping you succeed both in the short and the long term.

• Managing Your Weight Managing Your Weight

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    For years I have dedicated my life to helping others release body fat and keep it from coming back. After spending quality time and coaching over 4,000 individuals and speaking and consulting hundreds of thousands, I’d like to share with you one of the key principles for how to manage your weight loss success.
    
    Simplicity
    
    The secrets if you will to successfully managing your weight once you’ve lost it are learning how to be Success Oriented. This is three fold. Frankly put, you want to be Result Oriented, Solution Oriented and Action Oriented.
    
    First and foremost, you want to be result oriented. After you’ve dropped the pounds and shed the inches you want to keep your eye on the ball. You will to apply what you’ve learned with regard to what works and what doesn’t. Remind yourself daily how you want your day to end, and this will help you remain present and focused on the results you want to go to bed with and wake up to.
    
    Secondly, you want to be solution oriented. No one is perfect and knowing this, it’s to our benefit not to judge ourselves but to evaluate our day-to-day situations and circumstances. Whether you eat the way your know to eat or exercise as planned, at the end of the day – look at the value in your day and begin solving the problem. Each one of us is given the skill and ability to solve problems. You are intelligent and worthy of living your best life, and part of doing that is problem solving.
    
    Third, you want to execute and not put off until tomorrow the things you can do right now. Taking action to improve your situation is the best demonstration that you have taken responsibility for your life. Put the days of procrastinating to rest and keep a mindful eye on the action steps that bring out your best!
    
    Clarity is Key
    
    If you find yourself back sliding with your weight or experience feelings that you are slipping, stop what you’re doing and ask yourself, “What am I wanting in my life?” and then ask, “How am I going to achieve it?” The “it” I am referring to is your maintenance of your weight (or body compensation).
    
    Asking these two questions is going to help you stay present and focused. Then, constantly evaluate where you are today with where you want to end up. Do you want to end up having to go through the process of losing the weight again? Do you want to let yourself down and be faced with the day to day challenges of breaking unhelpful habits again? The answer is NO. You deserve to live a great life and no matter where you are right NOW, if your mind is focused on where you're going - you are in the process, which means you are living a great life NOW!
    
    Vision
    
    With all my clients over the years and the thousands of people I have come to know who lost weight with the Food Lovers Fat Loss System, the one principle that continues to shine through all else is the fact that each of these beautiful people have a vision. They visualized in the beginning and once they reached their goal... they've continue to visualize how they want to live their best life.

    You want to keep your vision clear and when you do this -- success is as predictable as the Sun rising in the East and setting in the West.
    
    Always in your corner,

    Robert Ferguson, M.S., C.N.

• What's Missing ... What's Missing ...

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    On May 6 May, 1954, in front of a crowd of 3,000, Sir Roger Gilbert Bannister was the first man in history to run the mile in less than 4 minutes. His time: 3 min 59.4 seconds.

    Sir Roger was also the recipient of the very first Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year award in January 1955 (1954 Sportsman of the Year).

    I share this with you because prior to being the first to run the mile in less than four minutes - people didn't think it was possible. Many thought he was crazy and some felt that if he did it, he'd probably die because it would be too much for the human body.

    The fact is, shortly after Roger broke the four minute mark, hundreds of others did so as well.

    What many people don't know about Sir Roger is that he attempted this feat a couple of times. He never gave up and kept his goal in front of him. He had a plan and he kept a date in front of him for when it was going to happen.

    If you are new or a veteran of the Food Lovers Fat Loss System - it is critical that you have a target date and maximum goal weight in front of you. I recommend you have an eight week goal date and weight. Once you achieve this goal you immediately set a new goal, which will include your target date and maximum weight.

    IF you do not have a target date, then you are most likely not going to be successful. Have a date in front of you is crucial. If you were engaged you'd have a date and a ring. There's no difference. If you don't not have a weight loss target date and maximum goal weight, then like many who say they're engaged but never seem to get married ... well you are not likely to see your desire to reach a certain body weight and/or fat percentage come to fruition.

    So, look at your calendar right now and figure out the date and what your total body weight is going to be on that date. If you have been feeling that something is missing in your ability to keep momentum and see constant results - I believe it's most likely having a target date and maximum goal weight.

• Ketchup and Fat Loss Ketchup and Fat Loss

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    Imagine doing everything right when it comes to using food to lose fat, but for some odd reason you can’t seem to shed the inches as fast as you’d like. What if the only thing stopping you from shedding the inches was the ketchup (or catsup) you put on your eggs, French fries and/or burger?

    To many of my client’s surprise and maybe yours – ketchup can make or break your weight loss success if you don’t know how to eat it in the right way.

    Surprise … surprise

    Do you eat oatmeal or grits with sliced bananas? Well, although both the hot cereal and banana are categorized as healthy, when you eat two Fast Carbs like this together you shift your body into fat storing mode. However, if you replace the banana with a Slow Carb like sliced strawberries, blueberries or blackberries you will keep your body in fat burning mode. See, the key to the Food Lovers Fat Loss System is combining your foods in the right way and amounts so that you are in constant fat burning mode.

    Back to ketchup

    Ketchup is a condiment unless you consume more than two tablespoons in a single meal. When you exceed two tablespoons the ketchup becomes a Slow Carb and no longer merely a condiment. Simply put, if you love ketchup you can indulge and still keep your body in fat burning mode. Case in point, President Richard Nixon was known to cover his cottage cheese (Protein) with ketchup (Slow Carb). In the Food Lovers Fat Loss System this would be considered a Version C Fat Loss Plate. And even though he consumed about a ½ cup of ketchup with his cottage cheese – the way he ate it made for a Fat Loss Plate, which means he was able to eat ketchup in a way to keep his body in fat burning mode!

    Too much of a good thing

    In North America 97% of the homes keep ketchup in their kitchen. On average, each person eats about three bottles a year and each tablespoon of ketchup yields about 16 calories – all from carbohydrates. Four tablespoons of ketchup have the nutritional value of an entire ripe, medium tomato. Knowing this, how can the consumption of ketchup contribute to your gaining weight?

    Firstly, when eating French fries, who can keep to one tablespoon of ketchup? Then bring in the burger, which also has about a tablespoon of ketchup. This tablespoon also yields about 8 grams of carbohydrates. Knowing this, what about those of us who like to drizzle ketchup on our eggs and home-style potatoes? I took the liberty to measure out a Fast Carb portion of French fries and what the average person who is not aware of the right amount of ketchup may end up consuming between ¼ to ½ cup in a single meal, which would make for a Slow Carb portion and not simply a condiment serving. In other words, this amount of ketchup yields close to 100 calories and about 700 to 1,000 milligrams of sodium.

    To condiment or Slow Carb

    If you decide you want French fries or pan potatoes with a good amount of ketchup, make the ketchup your Slow Carb, which would mean four tablespoons or that ¼ cup. Then all you need to make a Fat Loss Plate is your Protein. Or, if you prefer to enjoy your ketchup as a condiment, keep it to no more than two tablespoons and then you have room for a full portion of Slow Carb. For instance, if you prefer to have a side of broccoli, cooked spinach or some other Slow Carb as part of your Fat Loss Plate – you could have that ketchup (condiment) on your burger and keep your body in fat burning mode.

    Keeping up with ketchup

    The goal of this blog is to remind you of the importance that everything we eat matters and it helps to have knowledge of even the condiments we consume. Having this knowledge only helps you make the most of your desire to achieve and keep your lean and healthy body!

    Oh, before I forget, be sure to track down and enjoy Westbrae’s Ketchup, which is sweetened with fruit juice. And don’t get the low or no sodium version as it is disgusting.

• The Mo'Nique Show The Mo'Nique Show

  • From: RobertFerguson
  • Description:

    I am blogging on the airplane after a great evening yesterday on The Mo'Nique Show! I will let you know when the show airs, but I can tell you this - it was amazing and you're going to love it.

    For one, Mo'Nique got on the scale during the show and shares her total body weight. Then, we invited a very nice lady from the audience (Ebony) to become part of the Food Lovers Family and she also got on the scale. This is all going to be featured on the show. Talk about keeping it real, Mo'Nique had no shame and eagerly announced her total body weight because in order to get to your desired goal - it is of first importance to know where you are.

    This said, I want to encourage everyone in our Food Lovers Family to embrace where you are and keep your eyes on where you're going. Also, keep in mind that on your path to your destination, things aren't always going to go smooth or be perfect. As I travel from Atlanta to Washington State on this plane - we are constantly recorrecting. Frankly put, the plane is never always on track, but is always getting back on track as soon as it gets off track.

    No matter where you are in your journey, know where you are and remember - getting back on track is as simple as eating a snack or meal to get your body back in Fat Burning Mode!

    Thanks everyone and I'll announce when the episode of The Mo'Nique Show airs.
