Weekend Advice: The Party's Over

Leading a life of healthy eating and efficient exercise is moving past how you have lived your life up until now.

Most people think that they can lose weight, have healthy blood work, all while continuing to have unhealthy habits such as smoking, frequent binge drinking, and consuming fast food.

The reality is, you can't. If you're serious about changing the direction of your health, then there are some habits that have to be cut out completely, and others that need to be severely minimized.

Smoking. Non-negotiable. You have to quit ENTIRELY.

Drinking. If you're someone that may not drink during the week but then goes out on the weekends and drinks into oblivion, you've gotta stop. I know that may be hard for you to swallow but, alcohol and fat loss do not mix. And I'm talking about drinking in excess. If you go out on the weekend night, have a glass of wine or maybe a couple of beers, that's not going to end in horrible results. But, if you're use to going overboard, then unfortunately, you have to make a choice between how serious you really are about losing weight versus being the life of the party.

Weight loss is more than just about exercising and eating healthier. It's about a complete attitude change that you must make. Sure, maybe people won't recognize you if you're standing straight up at a party instead of laying on the floor with your mouth open at the end of the keg tapper. But, if you're serious about fat loss, then people REALLY won't recognize you because of your new slim down waist.

The choice is yours and only YOU are responsible for which path you choose to follow.
