Logical Weight Loss Podcast

I am at a bit of a crossroads. I really need to start making progress, so today I take off for a walk and bring you along as we talk about putting yourself first, and by exercising first you can't take that away. I realize that you can eat away any exercising you've done, but I feel you are more likely NOT TO if you've actually done the work.

Today I talk about how Americans and how we seem to take every occasion we can to eat. Last week my father passed away from cancer at the age of 84. What did people do? They brought me food. While I appreciate it, I think this is mainly so we can eat instead of talk. […]

Today I talk about a pair of identical twins who do an experiment with one doing a low carb diet and the other doing an almost non fat diet. We also talk about ADA (azodicarbonamide) in our food. This is a spongy substance that can be used in things like yoga mats. Companies like Subway […]

Today I talk about some new fun tools such as the Digital Measuring Tape and the Mio Alpha (a strapless heartrate monitor that states a 99% accuarcy – for $199).

Today I talk about use of Soak Fitness, and some habits you may be doing that may seem smart or healthy but research is saying its not. Soak Fitness Spray Reviewed I know I need to life weights. I know that leads to discomfort many times (we all know to start slow, but most of us don't). So how do I make these awful feeling go away? How to I get my muscles to loosen up? Wen I searched the web I found a product that is dedicated to one thing: get you and your muscles to relax and heal. That product is called Soak Fitness. I bought the spray bottle (as I'm not one for using the bath tub except for showers). I went to the gym, and lifted lots of weights with my legs. The next day, I had achieved my goal of having sore muscles. When I went to bed, I sprayed one leg with Soak Fitness, and the other I did nothing. The next day, the leg I sprayed had less pain then the one that I didn't spray. It Catches You Off Guard The one thing I was not expecting was the aroma of Soak Fitness. It has Peppermint in i

Remember Acai? It was a super food that some Doctor on Oprah said was a super food! Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, açaí tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Everyone jumped on it and oddly enough you don’t hear so much about it. I mean if it was a super food that […]

Today I talk about how I watched the video about the 21 day fix and I saw where this is a system with a food plan, and built in portion control. I wanted to see what other kind of products have built in portion control. Here is a quick video if you’d like to get […]

Today we talk about goals that DON’T require you to step on a scale that “gamify” the weight loss journey. Also, can we switch from calling it weight LOSS to health GAIN? Performance Goals Goals like an unassisted chin up. Some feat that you haven’t done before. Something that tracks your performance. Maybe you improve you […]

Today we have a quick show with some tips on allowing your body to feel full without making yourself hungry. I also talk how I finally got under 212 (FINALLY). We also talk about the opportunity clock instead of the alarm clock. The tips are: 1. Drink a glass of water before the meal 2. […]

Today I explain how I signed up for Fitorbit.com a site that pairs you with a personal trainer. I’m looking forward to it, but the accountability is through the roof. We also get some great articles about what soda does to your body, and what steps you can take to cut it out of your […]

Today I share some insights from the book, “Fit at Last” by Ken Blanchard (author of the One Minute Manager). We also look at some of the common habits of people who are successfully losing weight. Fit At Last I just started reading this book. I’ve loved every Ken Blanchard book I’ve written and this […]

I don’t do too many interviews but Bryan Ganey has an amazing story. He found himself around 600 lbs in a hospital bed with the doctors telling him to have weight loss surgery. Over and over he heard it was “impossible” to lose the weight on his own. Bryan knew the side effects of the […]

Today I was reading an article about growing churches, and one things that growing churches have in common is they share a vision, they plan ahead, and then they execute.  So when I came across an article on Shine (yahoo) that stated how to lose weight during the week it had insights into (you guessed […]

Death By Spaghetti This podcast was recorded on January 1 2014. My gym wasn’t open and here in Cleveland we got a bunch of snow over night. I decided to walk to my office and take you with me. I tell you the story of how I planned to eat a large plate of spaghetti. […]
