Hey, I love your blog! I stopped working out last week because I have school now so I don't have time anymore (except walking my dog). Will eating a lot of protein still get me skinnier?
Hi Jacqueline,
Eating a lot of protein is good for muscle recovery but since you don’t workout anymore and thus don’t put any stress on your muscles I don’t see the need to eat a lot of it. Excess calories will be stored as fat, even if they come from protein sources. Are you really sure you don’t have time for your workouts? Here’s an article that might help: “How to squeeze exercise into your schedule”:

Quote by fitness model Lori Harder
A very sad yet very inspiring story. Life threw her a huge curveball: a completely unexpected, horrible accident. It must be so difficult to believe and accept that something like this has happened to you. And she fights back and goes to the gym 5 days a week!
Hi. I'm 19 years old, I weigh about 170-180 and I'm about 5'2. I read that my calorie intake should be about 1425 a day. I don't like to exorcise, so that's not really an option. What I was wondering is what should I be eating to be healthy and lose about 50 pounds, by summer? I do plan on starting to record my calorie intake, I'm just not sure what I should be eating for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or dinner. I'm a very picky eater too. Thanks.
Hi Becky,
Saying something like “I want to lose about 50 pounds by summer. But I don’t like to exercise, so that’s not really an option. Plus I’m a very picky eater.”
is about the same as saying:
“I want to make lots of money. But I don’t want any demanding job and I can’t make any extra effort.”
Sorry but it ain’t gonna happen if you’re not willing to change your lifestyle. You took the first step by calculating how much you should eat, next steps are:
1- to educate yourself about sound nutrition (best way to do it: the old fashioned way: with a book like the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno).
2- to get moving: even if it’s only 30 minutes of walking a day you have to get moving to get things going in your life.
Sorry for being so straightforward and kind of mean in my reply but it’s sometimes very discouraging for me to “spoon-feed” fitness information over and over again. I cannot make it happen for you. You’re the only person in control of your body.

I am trying to lose some weight, I am 16, 5'6ish and weigh 166 pounds. In the last 3 weeks, I have lost about 8 pounds. I eat healthy for breakfest, lunch and dinner and usually for my snack too. I am a lazier person, so I don't exercise as much as I should, maybe once or twice a week (cardio). I try to do some pushups, situps, etc at least 4 times a week. Is there anything else I can do to become stronger, healthier and slimmer?
Hi! You lost 8 pounds so you’re on the right track, don’t you think? Give yourself a pat on the shoulder! I think the most important thing you could do for yourself right now would be to change the way you talk about yourself: “I am a lazier person”, “I try to do some pushups”
This is important because the way you see yourself determines your behavior. You become what you think you are: if you think you’re a lazy person, your behavior will follow to match that identity -you will in effect act like and be a lazy person. You’ll hesitate to put on your gym clothes, because you’ll be saying to yourself, What am I thinking? I’m no exerciser!
The more you identify with physical activity as part of who you are, the more likely you are to stick to it and make it part of your lifestyle.
If you replace ”lazier” with “active” in your sentence ”I am a lazier person, so I don’t exercise as much as I should”, the sentence then becomes: “I am an active person, so I do consistently exercise.” The way you see yourself determines your actions and behavior.
No more excuses
“Time spent wishing something was easier is time wasted. The things worth going after will be at the end of very difficult roads. That’s the way life works. Don’t sit around and wish things were easier. Get better. People have a tendency to want to make the obstacle smaller rather than make themselves bigger. But you are the only part of that equation that you control.”
LL Cool J’s Platinum diet and lifestyle
“You, and only you, are 90% responsible for the way you look now.”
Nobody puts food in your mouth for you but you. Nobody can train and move your body but you. You’re the only one deciding what to eat and what physical activity you do. You can’t blame any one else for putting food in your mouth or restraining you to move. This is your body, you decide what to do with it. You’re responsible for it.
In some ways you do have to live with the genetic package your parents gave you, but nutrition and training are far more responsible for creating your shape and your health than you think. Tosca Reno writes in her book “The Eat-Clean Diet” that genetics are responsible for only 10% of the shape of your physique. The other 90% factors responsible for the way you look are nutrition and training, and you’re totally responsible for both.
“Rule: you can’t complain about something until you are actively doing something about it!”
