One Fit City – Eat like this, and give in to cravings
Published February 10, 2013 | 
What’s the difference between losing 10-100lbs and looking good, or getting cover model ripped? People on magazines rarely if ever give in to cravings. I ask clients to give me M-Th as perfect as possible. If the absolutely need something not on their suggested list, go walk to get it. Keep craving foods far away, and make it a decision to have to buy them. If chocolate bars stay at the store instead of your desk drawer, you get more time to decide not to have it.
I don’t ask people to remove anything from their diet. I do ask that they make sure they eat like this, or similar.
Breakfast 6am – Ultimate Wake Up Smoothie it’s about 290 calories in the shake.
Snack 9:30am – Greek yogurt and almonds – 300calories
Lunch 12pm– Spinach salad, with strawberries and 6 oz turkey breast – 265 calories
Snack 2:30pm – Vanilla protein shake, with cinnamon and almond milk. 210 calories
Dinner 5:30 – Quinoa, green and red peppers. Protein source(8 oz of beef, chicken, fish) – 410 calories.
Snack – Mixed nuts and seeds, cottage cheese. 350 calories
This will keep you below 1800 calories. That means if you workout with a hard circuit, and run you will lose weight. If you really want a “treat” have it on a workout day. Workout smart and safe 5 days a week, and watch your body change. What to hit cover model status? Then you have to restrict, and not allow cheats.
My suggestion. If you are just starting out, don’t restrict anything. Start by eating right, and getting through each day just following a guide. Nothing is restricted, but I do want you to make sure you eat all of the above. It’s amazing how this thought process gets your mind on fueling and what you can have, versus what you can’t have.
Drink water. Every time you eat, drink 500ml of water. It will do your body wonders.

My career as a strength coach has been a dream come true. I have worked with MMA Athletes who compete in the UFC, StrikeForce and Bellator in California and Texas.
My dream is to change the fitness of my home town Winnipeg. Everything from first time exercisers to pro athletes. Tune in to my radio show on TSN at 6pm on Wednesday's called the "Weigh In". You will hear stories from the athletes I train athletes in the CFL, NFL, AHL, NHL, NCAA, and my favorite, local high schools.
The key to the training is fun. I have lots of it. Follow along with the blog, comment and interact with me on Twitter. I want to help as much as possible, and put my kinesiology degree to use. The products on the site that I recommend I use, and have clients using with great results.
