4 Keys to losing weight for good

321go • February 2, 2023

Over the years I’ve helped people lose 100’s of pounds and get their health in a place where they are in control instead of letting health control them. Most people I initially see have lost some weight with various dieting strategies before seeing me but always gained the weight back once the program was over.

 

The reason is simple.

 

The nutrition plan they were on wasn’t sustainable and they didn’t have a plan for after which led them to gain the weight they lost all back.

 

Here are 4 things we focus on when creating a sustainable weight loss program for our clients.

 

1)Nutrition plan doesn’t make you feel deprived

-Too many programs focus on cutting out everything that you currently like which can be done for a short amount of time but we will usually go back to the old eating habits eventually.

 

2)Don’t make it complicated

-Because it doesn’t need to be complicated at all. Try to keep things as simple as possible so you don’t have to put much thought into it. The more complicated it is, less likely you’ll stick with it long term.

 

3)Strength Train

-Strength training has many benefits and one of those is to ensure the weight you are losing is body fat! By consistently stimulating the muscles it allows you to get stronger and maintain muscle as the weight comes off!

 

4)Have a plan

-You’ve probably seen 30 day programs. Problem is, what do you do after 30 days? It’s great if you get results during that time period but all the effort is put to waste if you don’t know how to keep the weight off. Always have a plan!

Personal Training vs. Small Group Training: Which Is Better For Your Busy Schedule?

By Evan Amell • November 6, 2025
Let's be real for a minute... you're juggling work deadlines, family responsibilities, and somehow trying to squeeze in a workout that actually makes a difference. Sound familiar? You're not alone in this struggle. Most of our clients walk through our doors asking the exact same question: "I barely have time to breathe: should I invest in personal training or try small group classes?" Here's the thing: both options can work for busy schedules, but they work differently. The key is figuring out which approach fits your specific lifestyle, goals, and let's be honest... your sanity level.

How to Eat Through the Holidays Without Derailing Your Fitness Progress

By Evan Amell • October 15, 2025
The holidays are a time for celebration, connection, and yes. Delicious food. However, if you're committed to your fitness journey, this season can feel like a battlefield of temptation. The good news? You don’t have to choose between enjoying the holidays and staying on track with your goals. 🎯 1. Shift Your Mindset: It’s Not All or Nothing The biggest trap people fall into during the holidays is the “all or nothing” mindset. You miss a workout, overeat at a party, or indulge in dessert—and suddenly it's, "I'll start again in January." Stop. One meal doesn't derail all of your progress. Do your best which is better than just throwing in the towel 🥗 2. Prioritize Protein and Veggies First Before diving into the tasty carbohydrates. Prioritize Protein and Veggies first before consuming other foods to help with appetite control throughout your meal. 🧠 3. Use the "One Plate Rule" Instead of going back for seconds (or thirds), go for just one plate and fill it with what you want(can be anything). 🍷 4. Drink Smart (Yes, Even Alcohol) Set a limit ahead of time and don't deviate from the plan. Be sure to alternate a glass of water between drinks to maintain hydration and make it easier to limit consumption of alcohol 🧁 5. Don’t “Save Calories” All Day Skipping meals to prepare for the big meals usually doesn't end well. Eat like normal so at the end of the day, you don't feel the need to binge eat to make up for the lack of eating during the day. 🏋️‍♂️ 6. Stay Active (Even If It’s Not a Full Workout) During the holidays, your regular training schedule might take a hit. That’s OK. Focus on movement, not perfection. This could be a 10-15 minute workout. A walk after a meal. Any movement is better than no movement. Holiday season will be upon us soon so be sure to implement these strategies so you can stay on track with your fitness goals and also enjoy the holidays!
