  • Why We Get Fat

    Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it. A follow up to his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue.

Fitness Tip

  • When you’re angry, you’re not acting out of a place of peace or rationality. Emotions are heightened, adrenaline is flowing, and impulses are firing. It’s easy to have a knee-jerk reaction to environmental cues when you are operating out of a place of anger. “I can’t believe I didn’t get the raise! I need some chocolate.” Right? We’ve all been there. And before you know it, you’ve done some serious emotional eating in an attempt to fix an issue unfixable by food.

    You’d be far better exercising to de-stress the situation. Exercise is a great outlet for your anger. You’ll feel better afterwards, more at peace, and will have done your body good.

    So don’t make fitness decisions when you’re Hungry or Angry.

Testimonials

  • I’m new to these weight loss challenges. I am good at starting diets but always lose my motivation. Jenny was great. Always checking in, giving support and posting inspiration. When I struggled she was understanding and encouraged me not to give up even though I did not lose as much weight as I wanted.  She is such a great role model – someone who is not only a coach but in the trenches herself fighting to get healthier. I would like to do another challenge with her in the future.

    Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
