The Effort of Easy in 3 Steps! - Written by: Randall Gartman

[FIRSTNAME], do you remember when I told you that my eZines aren't going to be about a lot of calorie crunching? You either have my eMpowering eCalc Lite or Pro Version right now to do that for you. No, the Tip-Tow information is about changing your lifestyle step-by-step so losing weight and gaining muscle are easy for you and not so nasty to think about every day.

Here are some things you can do right now to change your steps.

1. Stop trying to eat everything that will make a billy-goat puke because somebody told you that eating that way was healthy or the "RIGHT WAY". Let's talk about sensible food that you like to eat. Instead of going to the Dinner table every night dreading the food you are about to eat, why not make some healthy choices that you like to eat. The only challenges you will have after that is controlling your quantities and keeping your meals balanced. If you are unsure of those two things you can use the eCalc Programs to help you out or think of the following portions and ratios.

1 protein the size of the palm of your hand (3/4's of your palm if it is a fattier protein).

2 carbs the size of your fist (subtract one if it is a fruit or high glycemic carb) and o

1 good fat the size of your thumb (1/2 your thumb if your fat is a saturated fat and no thumb if your protein is a saturated fat).

You can eat anything you want but you can't eat candy for your carbs nor can you eat high fatty foods every day. I guarantee you that you will find good sources of healthy foods that you really like to eat if work at it, can't you?

Here is the kicker - eat all day long just like that. In fact, try to do it six times. Remember though, you are eating foods you like to eat.

2. Now that you are eating six times a day, you are probably having a hard time getting your meals in, aren't you? Try this - Plan your meals in advance and make them easy to eat. For instance-

:Lettuce wraps - Stuff any balanced idea into a roll of piece of lettuce after heating it in the Microwave. This is less than a minute if your stuff your putting in the Lettuce is already made.

Egg white breakfast burrito with wheat tortilla and salsa - This will take 2 minutes. I have timed it in the mornings.

While getting your eggs and stuff out, put your pan on the stove to heat up and add some non stick spray. Crack 3 or 4 eggs into a mixing bowl and with a spoon, take out all the yolks but leave one yolk in the bowl. Next, take some squeeze Smart Beat Butter and squeeze about a tbs in the bowl and mix the contents until blended well. Pour the contents into the pan and you will be done with your eggs in about a minute. If you want a heated tortilla, spray some more non-stick spray into the pan and drop it in to the pan. It usually takes about 20 seconds on one side and 20 seconds on the other. Add salsa and you are done.

Get creative and have fun.

3. Make your exercise fun and your activities challenging. Don't make exercise a chore and try to add some some stuff to your daily activity such as park in the back row or take the stairs. Making your exercise fun isn't as hard as you think. Simply choose some stuff you like doing like dancing, games (make them physical - change the rules and play speed horse shoes - don't be confused just play a really fast game of horse shoes), play twister (who cares its fun), walk your dog or kids or basically start enjoying life.

Do you think that you can do those things? I believe you can. Stop thinking that food is bad and exercise is hard by changing the way you perceive LIFE. Start living it and stop watching it!!!

The eMpowering pHysical mAstery is due out very soon and I want be aware that you are probably going to be a witness to a change in the way the fitness industry views health forever. Why is that you might ask? Well without going too deep, it is because most fitness professionals concentrate solely on nutrition and exercise. The problem with that plan is, a lot of people already know how to exercise and eat right, they just don't apply the principles. That is why you still see a lot of obese Doctors.

The eMpowering pHysical mAstery program is centered around adjusting certain things within your lifestyle without stressing you out about it. I meet so many people that think food is bad or exercise is worse. This program is about changing that. Oh, you will still see some standard health, fitness training and nutritional guidelines but you will also find mental strategies, tips to accomplishing your daily tasks, strategies on how to adjust your lifestyle without killing yourself and guilt-free living. I will keep you posted about the debut of this program in May, 2004 but I thought you might want to have this heads up about what it will contain: Over 250 pages of easy steps for lifestyle changes Exercise routines for everybody that wants to have fun and get results Nutritional advice that helps you enjoy food without all the guilt How to be satisfied after your meals Mental Steps that will change your actions for ever with just a touch 12 months of Group Coaching Sessions. 2 Free 30 minute one-on-one coaching sessions 70% Discount for registered eCalc Pro users 15% Discount for TIP-Tow Subscribers that aren't eCalc Pro Users and much more for only $149.97

Remember [FIRSTNAME], we are measured by the foot; with each step you take, you are one foot closer to success!
