I will not do burpees for a Snickers - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/happy-halloween

I will not do burpees for a Snickers. This photo is floating around and I figured I'd throw my two cents into the ring. First of all, any gym or trainer who shares this photo and stands by it is demonstrating that they are ill equipped in the nutrition and psychology department. Lastly, there is a difference between net calories burned vs gross calories burned. Your body burns calories while at a rested state and your activity calories burned adds to that overall calorie burned count. It's a prec...It al...

a radical take on Thanksgiving - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/a-radical-take-on-thanksgiving

A radical take on Thanksgiving. I sent this email out to all 550 individuals subscribed to my gym's email list this morning. I can only hope it resonates with some people and they can find it within themselves to relax and have a great time this holiday season. We are officially two weeks out from Thanksgiving and definitely heading into the holiday season. I wanted this message to get to you before we got any closer to the holiday because I know what's about to happen. Are you ready for it? I absolutely...

What happened when a fitness mag asked me for "better photos" - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/part-of-the-solution

What happened when a fitness mag asked me for better photos. This is what I look like. I have a cute and marketable image, right? I think I look strong. Excuse the awkward arm- I was tryna get that full body selfie. Are you on a mission to change the face of fitness? The qualifying questionnaire asked me. Why yes, yes I am! After all, the face of fitness is surely changing by the day, so I presumed a new fitness magazine would be different than all the rest. Boy was I wrong. I excitedly clicked the link.

People are still dying from dieting - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/people-are-still-dying-from-dieting

People are still dying from dieting. Photo source: news.com.au. Will there be a day that comes when our little boys and girls aren't fed images of unrealistic body types that they "should" look like? On that day, will our children feel that what they look like is good enough for. On that day, will. All of a sudden just be. Will people enjoy moving their bodies the way they were designed to move because exercise is no longer a penance. To pay for our bodies not fitting a particular mold? Makes us feel good.

So which is it? - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/so-which-is-it

So which is it? A post above says to burn 1000 calories over what you eat each day - and this one says 500 calories. Which is right? Sorry for the confusion! That said, 500 calories daily for 7 days should be 3500 calories a week which would result in around 1lb loss. Again, it would be virtually impossible to ensure EXACTLY a 500cal deficit.

Trainers and nutrition - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/trainers-and-nutrition

At least once a week I will come across or be made aware of a trainer who is giving nutritional advice to their clients without any credibility, research to support their claims, or education in nutrition let alone a nutritional certification. And individuals who- most importantly- - TRUST this trainer to give them HEALTH related advice because we have been lead to believe, for some reason, that fitness trainers are educated in general health and nutrition practices. As a gym owner, my trainers are instr...

Social media and clients - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/social-media-and-clients

Social media and clients. I sometimes add my clients as personal Facebook friends because they quickly become an important part of my life. They will either add me first or accept my friend request knowing full well they have nothing to fear by sharing a side of their personal lives with me because I am a reasonable and logical human being who knows that judging others' food choices (especially in a public forum) does no o.

Think critically - Disrupt Your Diet

http://www.disruptyourdiet.com/blog/think-critically

A huge contributing factor to the spreading of misinformation and pseudoscience is the internet and social networking. In order to form an (educated) opinion in the past, one had to do research, and research the research in order to form. What one felt was an educated standpoint. Think critically- look for double-blind peer reviewed studies, research the credentials of the people quoted in the "articles", research the credibility of the news source presenting the information (why the heck do satire stori...
