There are a lot of unhealthy foods.  But, what really ticks me off are foods that claim to be healthy, but really aren’t  It’s these big food corporations who want to rob you of a quick buck and sell you a box of lies.  And the FDA is on their side.  Who do you think is paying them?  That’s right, the big food corporations.

Well, I am here to expose the truth to what foods that claim to be healthy, but really aren’t.

Unhealthy Food #1 -  Frozen Dinners.  Lean cuisine or any similar type of frozen foods.  No frozen food is healthy for you.  They are loaded with tons of unhealthy preservatives that will have you putting on fat faster than fat albert.

Unhealthy Food #2 - Restaurante Salads.  Restaurant salads are full of fatty salad dressing.  Did you know that 1 cup of salad dressing has about 1000 kcal?  If you are going to eat salad at a restaurant, ask for the dressing on the side, and use it sparingly.

Unhealthy Food #3 - Diet Sodas.  Diet Sodas are advertised as being non-fattening, but the chemicals, such as aspartame, can really damage your endocrine system, causing you to gain weight.  And it is because of all these chemicals why America is so fat.  The chemicals that are used in processing and prerserving foods, is really hurting us in many ways.

Being a San Diego Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, I have helped thousands of individuals correct their diets and get into great shape, by losing fat and toning muscle.  You are truly what you eat.

Being an Orange County Personal Trainer, I have encountered tons of people who have done all the wrong things possible to lose weight and get into shape.  No wonder this country is so FAT!  Well, I am sick and tired of all these so-called fitness experts giving wrong advice or selling useless gadgets or pills, promising dreams of fat loss.

Well, I am here to break it down to you, and let you know what the top 3 mistakes are that people keep making when trying to lose weight.

Mistake #1 - Cardio

People think that traditional cardio, slow-paced cardio, is the best method to losing weight.  It’s not.  In fact, it may even be counter productive in that it may cause you to lose valuable calorie burning muslce.  You don’t want this.  You are far better off if you lift weights and use a much more intense type of cardio training, known as interval training.

Mistake #2 - Taking Diet Pills

Most of these diet pills simply don’t work.  And no matter how many diet pills you take, if you don’t follow an intelligent, healthy, and balanced nutrition program, you will never get into the shape you want.  And that’s a fact.

Mistake #3 - Eating Once A Day or Too Few Calories

This is the most common mistakes among women.  If you eat too few calories or only a couple of times a day, you are severely putting your body into starvation mode, thus slowing down your metabolism greatly.  And if you are trying to lose weight, this is a no no.

When I was a Santa Barbara Personal Trainer, I use to train this lady who did all three of these mistakes, and she could never lose any serious amount of weight.  But, after working with her and correcting these bad habbits, she lost 27.2 lbs. in 3 months. 

Bottom line, just use the correct method and you will get outstanding results.
