Q: "If I cut out carbs, I will lose weight, right?"
A: Sure you will lose weight any time you cut calories - but be careful! Carbohydrates are essential for healthy living - your brain, muscles and organs NEED carbs to keep you moving. So instead of cutting out all carbs, cut out the sugar laden, simple carbohydrates, and keep the fruits and veggies, whole grains. Val
Q: "I know that stress is bad for my blood pressure. How can stress limit my weight loss?" AM
A: Being over stressed increases cortisol hormone levels (think fight or flight). High cortisol hormones have been linked with weight gain; even with increased activity levels and healthy eating - it can slow and possibly eliminate body fat loss! Learn how to release your stress; try a yoga class or deep breathing exercises; I like to beat on a heavy bag! Val
