You can not look at things in isolation! You have to see the big picture! I always use the FREE CONSULTATION to dive a bit deeper! To know you!

 

A few reasons we have terrible information in our industry....

We are all different. It ALWAYS  starts with the individual. What works for me, might not work for you. What worked for you 10 years ago, might not work anymore.  There are SOME basic laws and principles you will never get around. A few. 

 

A few examples...….

 

Meal frequency is not going to determine if you lose weight or not. The calories will. When the calories are matched up for 2, 3, 6, 4-9er, or 1 meal(s) per day the results are the same. Check out this study => https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9155494 and this one https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19943985

 

It will come down to YOUR INDIVIDUAL PREFERENCE AND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU! I can guarantee someone who makes a living selling protein shakes will tell you to eat 6 times per day. They know most of you will not be eating 6 real meals. Please do not copy bodybuilders on steroids who have to eat 6 times per day.  To MAINTAIN (not lose weight) their weight. A lot of information does not apply to YOU!

 

Personally, eating every 3 hours causes ME (Detric Smith AKA NOT YOU!!)  to feel hungrier and take in more calories. It causes me to obsess and think over food all day. Which means I eat more!  I refuse to force a fit. There are no "magic programs."  I start with the individual and analyze everything. We do this with all of our members who follow our Precision Nutrition program => https://procoach.app/detric-smith for nutrition. 

 

The charismatic fitness model example=> I am not going to spend too much time on this one. Lets start (and end, hopefully, not)  by looking at Jillian Michaels execute a kettlebell swing. WARNING -PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, THE GYM, IN YOUR DREAMS, or, JUST DONT DO IT!=>

 

 

 

This is a great article on how fitness "influencers " are making it hard for you to determine what is good info. Do not listen to people because they have abs. Do more research => https://leanminded.com/2019/04/16/under-the-influencer-why-fitness-influencers-are-bad-for-fitness-and-humanity/?fbclid=IwAR3y-qA_9LK3gvOZG-KtR8SgygdftMzL94ETw4pYsYvXwtdWtqjoSOb1dwc

 

Money to be made! Fitness equipment -  There is a lot of overrated equipment. For example, equipment designed to improve balance is not as good as you think. Think BOSU ball. Even worse, it can hurt. A lot of trainers don't know how, or WHY they are using it. Eric Cressey does a great job of discussing the Pros and Cons of this equipment here => https://www.t-nation.com/training/bosu-ball-the-good-bad-and-ugly 

 

When I see people squatting on a bosu ball I cringe. When this happens you  drastically reduce the strength training benefits of the exercise.. Getting stronger will improve balance more than these so called "balance exercises." It just happens to be much easier to sell and market stuff that looks cool! 

 

It all starts with THE INDIVIDUAL. You are different! This is OK! This is why we always start off with the FREE ONE ON ONE CONSULTATION.  We have to know more about your goals and specific concerns. We also have to know about things such as your schedule and budget.  We will find something that fits your lifestyle. So you can make a lifestyle change.
