There seems to be a very long list of what females are brainwashed into thinking it takes to get results vs. what a man thinks, and does to get results.
What I find funny is that us females are often trying very hard to achieve ‘losing fat or getting lean‘ with the below list and the males are simply trying to put on a bit of muscle, and if the girls were to follow some of the info from the boys list they’d SEE RESULTS IN HALF THE TIME!

The Girls List… Of what to do to get HOT
- Follow a Calories restricted diet – Including fun things like, no alcohol, no fat. no chocolate. See why I disagree..click here.
- Perform lots of Cardio exercise to burn more calories than you consume.
- Don’t eat Carbohydrates after 5pm. Or follow this diet or that diet. In fact there are different reasons apart from calories as to why you grow fat cells, click here.
- Do lots of light weights, high repitition exercises so as not to bulk up… NOT TRUE, I dare you to try and get bulky (its virtually impossible for most. We all need different stimulus to continue producing results. Find out what will work for you here.
- Learn to be more disciplined – I don’t believe you need too much discipline if you get the balance of nutrients right for your body… see why here.

Obviously I’m making fun of us girls, but I’m on your side girls, I do understand it’s confusing. So remember keep it simple, get some guidance, it ain’t meant to be hard, you’ve got enough to worry about right?
Get in touch with Kate:
Putting yourself first is necessary to survive, not to mention get healthy, lose weight, stay sane and happy. It’s not selfish at all, even though it feels incredibly selfish.
This is not just about making time to exercise. Losing weight has so much more to do with your whole self than it does with how much exercise you do. It has everything to do with how healthy you are mentally and spiritually not just physically. How balanced your stress hormones are, how happy and vital you are and how much you are able to contribute to others.. Remember though if you are depleted of energy how are you going to continue to look after everyone else? Who is going to look after you in the end?
Exercise, read, have a cup of tea, breathe, take up a new class/skill/hobby, phone a friend, see your friends, laugh by yourself, think, cook, goal setting, plan a holiday.
1. Be Nicer to yourself
2. Rotate Your food
5. Get enough sleep and time out
I keep asking clients, why are you weighing yourself in the first place? Think about it… honestly… Is it because you are going to let that little number on the scales determine whether or not you have a good day? Is the way you feel about yourself today honestly going to be determined by the number you see on the scales? How exactly are you going to be positively motivated by feeling bad about yourself for the next day/week/whatever? In my experience I think I’ve met perhaps 10-20 people over the past 14 years who have been able to weigh themselves regularly (weekly, and no more aften than that) who are actually able to stay well balanced in their perspective about what that number on the sclaes says. For the rest of us (myself included) it seems to ruin our day and negatively reinforce how what we are doing is not working. When in fact this is not true, what you are doing is working. You are growing leaner, losing fat and growing stronger and it is not reflected on the scales! IT IS reflected in your measurements and your clothes!
