Life Fitness Elliptical Trainers

Weight loss is more than just counting calories

Fishelberg is not alone. Almost one-third of U.S. adults are overweight, another third are obese. Americans spent an estimated $46 billion on diet products, much of it wasted on prepackaged food and fads. Forbes Magazine examined menus from the most popular diets and discovered dieters also spent 50 percent more per week on food, ($85 compared to $54), but 97 percent gained all the weight back in five years. Now Fishelberg thinks she's found the key. Working with her Life Time trainer and nutritionist, Fishelberg underwent an assessment that measures a person's resting oxygen rate to help them tailor their exercise to fit their body. With the help of Life Time experts, Fishelberg received a personal program - she won't call it a diet, it's a new healthy lifestyle - and in 13 weeks has lost 11 pounds and, more importantly, 5 percent of her body fat. (You should consult with a physician before starting any diet or exercise plan). Fishelberg has replaced packaged foods with organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and fish. She takes herbal supplements to help with stress. A typical day's menu might include a protein shake for breakfast, a snack of organic beef jerky and pistachios, a lunch of tuna, avocado, salad and a tortilla, another snack and salmon and broccoli for dinner. Nikkola says people need to understand how their metabolism works to lose weight efficiently. "There are a lot of factors beyond just the foods we consume that affect metabolism." For example, if someone is diabetic or pre-diabetic, "they are not going to burn fat the way they should. Digestion, sensitivity to gluten and dairy may also play a role. And for most people, the most important of those factors in weight issues is stress. Stress stimulates cortisol, which can stimulate cravings because it burns more sugar. It can also break down muscle tissue." Tom Manella, senior director of personal training, says too many think all they have to do is exercise more because their diet is pretty good. "You can do 40 miles of running a week, peak cardio, and have your body waiver just five pounds," he says. "If you start running around the lake and your cortisol was already high from a stressful job, you can get worse." According to Nikkola, "People are always looking for the simple solution. It would be easy for us to sell the idea that if you just do our exercise program and eat our food and supplements you'll be good to go.
