Weight Loss

When it comes to weight loss, you have to go back to basics. Calories-in versus calories-out has always been and will always be the recipe for success to lose weight. If you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. With that said, restricting your calories too severely will have an adverse effect and actually force your body to hold on to fat. No starvation diets!

Seems simple enough, and it is, however there is some strategy involved in building the proper nutrition plan for you. Everyone’s body composition is different and therefore customized nutrition plans are vital for weight loss.

At Empowering Punch, we start with your RMR (resting metabolic rate). Your RMR represents the amount of calories your body needs to maintain vital bodily functions; also known as the amount of calories your body burns at rest. By knowing your RMR, we now have a benchmark from which to build your program. We then incorporate your lifestyle patterns (job, daily routine), activity level, (exercise frequency) and your weight loss goals. By calculating all of these factors into the equation, we not only build your nutrition program specifically to your needs, we also project a date range of when you can expect to reach your goal weight.

The next step, and by far, the most important step in the success of this program, is writing it down. When you have a very deliberate program to follow and try to do it all in your head, you are asking for failure. You may forget to account for the handful of potato chips you had with lunch or the mini bag of M&Ms, but unfortunately your body counts every calorie! By keeping a food journal, you not only hold yourself accountable but you are also creating a new, healthy behavioral habit. By being aware of what you eat and what time you eat, you can easily identify any challenges you may face throughout the day. Your nutrition plan is going to change as your body composition changes, so learning what works and what doesn’t work is important. Our goal is to empower you to make healthier choices on your own. Through our education, motivation and YOUR dedication, this will soon seem like second nature to you.

Weight Gain
As with weight loss, calories-in versus calories-out is the same success recipe for weight gain. If you consume more calories than your body burns, you will gain weight. For those who struggle with adding some size, your metabolism could quite possibly be burning faster than you think. Be careful though! Needing or wanting to gain weight doesn’t give you a free-for-all to eat whatever you want. You can easily gain ‘fat’ weight as opposed to lean muscle weight which will lead you down the wrong path of potential health risks. Proper nutrition is necessary for whatever your weight goals may be.

Sports Performance
If you are a competitive athlete, having the proper nutrition plan could be the difference between first and second place. You could be in better shape than all of your competitors but if your tank isn’t fueled with the right ingredients, you’ll never achieve optimum performance. With Empowering Punch in your corner, we make sure you peak at the just the right moment and that your stamina takes you full speed ahead to the end.
