This 1 thing could be stopping your fitness progress

What Happens When You Don’t Eat Enough

When people start dieting most people cut calories and increase their exercise, specifically cardio.  This tactic will temporarily work, but for long-term weight loss you have to fuel your body.  This large calorie deficit actually works against you!

Not eating enough calories causes many metabolic changes. The large calorie deficit may work for a few days or even weeks, but eventually your body will wake up and sound alarms that it needs to conserve energy.  Your body needs fat to survive and the large calorie deficit causes your body to think it is in starvation mode and it will save everything you give it.

Not eating enough calories can do the following:

• Slows down thyroid production

• Decreases muscle mass

• Lowers testosterone levels

• Decreases leptin levels

• Decreases energy levels

Your goal should be to eat as many clean calories as you can and still lose weight.  There is no perfect calorie number because each person’s metabolism is different.  Calorie calculators are a good place to start, but they don’t take into consideration any individual variables.  Most people want the weight gone yesterday and they will try any and everything to drop the weight quickly.  Weight loss is about consistency, commitment and patience.  

You have to remember that it didn’t get there over night and it won’t disappear overnight.  So if you have hit the infamous weight loss plateau or your weight loss has completely stalled, I challenge you to try and eat.  It’s amazing what your body will do for you when it is fueled properly!

10 Habits of Texas Fit Chick Trainers

> A few solid habits to help you stay (or get) FIT!

10 Habits of  Texas Fit Chick Trainers:

1. They don't think of their fitness as work, but rather a way of life. It's all about perspective. They look at the big picture and realize that on the days they workout,they have more energy, self confidence and resolve to eat well and reward their body for the hard work.
2. They don't skip workouts. They take training days as seriously as a Dr.'s appointment. People don't "Find" time, they make time. Schedule it in your day, and figure out what time works for you. Texas Fit Chicks Bootcamp has clas options as early as 5am and we go as late as 8pm - so you can find a bootcamp that works for you :)
3. They eat to serve their purpose and fuel their goals. 90% of the time, they are eating clean and to fuel their bodies. They can enjoy 10% of the time for treat meals, but the majority of the time, food is working for their bodies and not against them.
4. They tune everything out when they're working out. Do you ever visit the gym and see the people just chatting while standing around? That's not going to get them far. In bootcamp, you will be pushed to work at your own fitness level, but we keep it moving and you will experience amazing results by focusing on the goal with us.
5. They push through frustration. - There will ALWAYS be setbacks. Whether it's getting on the scale that time of month and realizing the number has gone up (totally normal) and letting that get you down...etc. Lots of chicks want to lose weight very quickly - and when they don't see the number fast enough, they get down.
6. They prepare their food in advance and don't leave hunger to chance. They keep healthy treats in their purse when heading out for an afternoon of running errands. Things like apples, almonds, a quality protein bar, etc are all great choices. The drive-thru won't be enticing if you're prepared ahead of time.
7. They know where they'll be when it's time to eat, and know what they're going to eat. Similar to the tip above, be sure you've got a plan if you're out at noon and it's time to eat.
8. They envision the win-goal-finish line every day. Visualize your goals. This is such a powerful tool that works. See yourself where you want to be. Hang clothes that you want to wear in the front of your closet so you see them every day. Act "As If" and it will happen.
9. There are no excuses. Every one of us has something that is difficult in life. Some have a bigger burden to work around, but when you're trying to become fit, there WILL be obsticles. Decide that you're going to not allow yourself to have excuses, period.
10. There is no giving up - Nothing happens overnight (that will last for any length of time). You will get to your fitness goals with time, hard work and patience, and NOT giving up. You can do this! Our Texas Fit Chicks Bootcamp trainers will keep you accountable and help you during your journey. It's truly affordable accountability with TFC.

Each one of these steps are critical to your success when trying to change your physique. You will get cardiovascular benefit from working out 3-5x a week for 30 mins, but to change your body, it's got to be closer to 45-60 mins 5-6 days a week, with one day off for your body to rest and recover.

Testimonials from Texas Fit Chicks Bootcamp clients

Follow Us

We love our clients, and seeing their progress is so rewarding!  Here is a compilation of testimonials that we've recently received from chicks that we train at different Texas Fit Chick Boot Camp locations

Here's what Kealis' chicks have to say about her Richardson Camp:

I became aware of TFC via Facebook when an acquaintance from church “blogged” about 5am workouts…outside.  My first thought was …really? ..then I watched her transformation of strength and posture and just plain looking great.  She is active in missions and activities that I knew I would not have the energy to commit to…..anyway…flash forward several months.  I finally got the nerve to contact Texas Fit Chicks, having never been in any shape or even participated in much of a group fitness plan.  I got a very encouraging email from Keali and decided I would do a trial session…on a Friday.  I knew immediately I loved it.  I did the 15 week commitment, no Groupon for me, I needed it to be something I would not take lightly or give up on…for at least 15 weeks.

I am so addicted, my only set back has been an eye injury (not related to TFC), that has kept me from camp for nearly 4 weeks.  I have now depleted my endorphins that the 15 weeks prior had supplied and I realize how much I cannot do this on my own…and quite frankly why would I when it is fun, encouraging and addicting to attend.

The difference in Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp is that your trainer is your trainer…she is there for consultation, encouragement, and just plain fun.  I am excited for the new plans, as I will be enrolled in the Commit to be FIT 24 wks 99/mo  as soon as eye is healed." - Wendy J

"I found Texas Fit Chicks through Groupon.  The Richardson Sprouts location and class time was perfect for my schedule, so I bought the Groupon.  Having tried two other local boot camps, that were not what I was hoping for, I was skeptical.  I was looking for a trainer that is motivating & supportive, as well as a group that worked as a team to gain the same great results.  Well, I have found that and so much more with Keali and the 'Chicks' in Richardson.  Keali is awesome, I can't say enough nice things about her!  She's positive, sweet, motivating and supportive of everyone in her class, which makes getting up at 4:45 am MWF totally worth it!!  After my initial five weeks had ended and I saw the difference in my measurements/body, I committed to another six months.  I recommend Texas Fit Chicks to everyone because you get great results while working out with awesome Chicks!" - Courtnay 2/1/13

Here's what Tias' chicks have to say about her Plano evening Boot Camp

"I had my first baby on September 20, 2012.  I weighed 230 and thankfully had no complications.  I was able to have her naturally, with no drugs 12 hours later!

I had gained 30lbs over the past 3 years with a new job sitting at a desk, and finding excuses to not work out.  So after having my daughter I knew I needed to be healthy for not only myself, but my husband and daughter.   I found the groupon in November and took ever inch of gut I had to buy it.  I had never done a boot camp before, and was absolutely terrified to do it.  I was worried the trainer was like a military drill sergeant, and I'd be surrounded my skinny judgmental women. So, Monday November 19th rolls around and I attend my first class.  Tia took time to talk to me and understand my background and make me feel comfortable.  She cared that I had just had a baby and needed some modified work outs.  I felt so comfortable and could ask questions if I needed mid-work out.  Tia keeps me motivated to push when I want to quit, which makes me want to help motivate the new girls coming in since I remember exactly how it felt starting. So, long story short, Tia is a great trainer and I am so happy beyond words that she is staying as our trainer! I am now 168lbs, lost a total of 12 inches and feel great! I have two 5ks coming up in March and April and wouldn't have been able to do them if it wasn't for Texas For Chicks!"-Morgan

"I just want to say Thank You. I know I am still a little on the slow side but I feel like every class i make a little more progress. I have NEVER in my life thought I would look forward to working out. TFC has become my "happy hour" 2-3 nights a week after work!  I don't think it would be half as enjoyable if we didn't have you as our cheerleader! So, again, Thank you!"

- Amber

Here's what Aimee's clients have to say about her 5 and 6am Frisco Bootcamps:

I started working out with Aimee on April 2 2012 almost 1 month before my 40th birthday.  I needed something.  I wasn't motivated to do it at home or go to the gym so when I saw the groupon I figured what was it going to hurt.  Now I can't imagine my life with out my Texas Fit Chick Family.  I never weigh myself or take measurements because I wanted my work out to be more about getting stronger inside and out and now looking at my before and after pictures I can't believe that was even me.  What a great feeling!!!    Thanks Aimee for motivating me to get my butt into shape and getting me healthy!!!" - Michelle H.

I started working out with Aimee and Texas Fit Chicks 3 months ago and I have absolutely seen extraordinary results. I have lost inches and am so much more toned! I have spent years trying to get these results in the gym, P90X, etc. This is by farthe best workout experience I've ever had! - Suzette

Aimee,
I can't thank you enough for getting my bootie back in the gym.  I have always been an athlete, but as life has moved on I have neglected taking care of myself.  I knew it was something I have needed to do for a while but knew how out of shape I was and was embarrassed to be 'weak'.  Your classes have made me swallow my pride and have made me stronger.  NO EMBARRASSMENT for being 'weak' only motivation to be a better me!!  When I first came I could not do 1 burpee.........I can do them now!  Push ups....same thing along with endurance and self confidence that I am on my way to a stronger, healthier, more confidant me!!  Thank you for the kick in the pants I needed!  I dislike you at 4:15 when I wake up but I love you when the cool down starts!!    It is going to be a marathon, not a sprint, and I am glad you are there for me in my journey.  Texas Fit Chicks and Aimee Storm are changing my life! - Donna

"Like many women, I looked the best I have ever looked on my wedding day.  Since then, I put on a "happy layer" and we've moved to a new city because of my new job which all added up to not looking or feeling my best any more.  I started training with Texas Fit Chicks in Frisco, and Aimee, about 3 months ago and this weekend for our anniversary dinner, I'm going to rock the dress that I originally wore to my rehearsal dinner.  The very best part is that I'm feeling my best again because I'm strong and healthy.  The encouragement and positive attitude of my trainer and the other women in my boot camp keep me coming back for more and I'm amazed at what I'm able to do now.  Aimee, I really do hope you know how much you are changing my life.  I have always struggled with weight and feeling good about myself physically and it has just been so good for me to be in boot camp with you and the other ladies". - Jen

"My name is Tammy, and I started Texas Fit Chicks boot camp last September with Aimee Storm in Frisco on MWF at 5am. The reason that I was so interested in joining her class is it pushed me to do something I had never done, plus it gave me a sense of accountability!  I was not sure that I do very well with a 5am class, but I have surprised myself! It must be because Aimee is great for holding me accountable for every class and pushing me to my limit, even when I want to give up! Now, it is January, and I am still going strong! I can honestly say it has been the best thing I have ever done!! Without doubt, I have become much stronger, toned, and even lost an inch or two over the last few months all because of boot camp!! With that being said, I am so glad that I decided to sign up!! In addition, I want to give a special Thank You to Aimee Storm for her dedication and believing in all her chicks!! It is because of her we are inspired to work hard and aim for achieving our goals. She is AWESOME!! :) Texas Fit Chicks is an awesome Boot Camp program, and I highly encourage ALL women to give it a try!! The classes are always different and the chicks find ways to keep them interesting!! The classes are by no means easy, but they are SO worth it!!! :)"- Tammy

Titia our 5am PLANO Texas Fit Chicks Trainer hears this from her chicks:

"No cookie cutter routines"
Over the past year and a half, I have had the pleasure of training with Titia and Plano Texas Fit Chicks.  The workouts are always changing and continue to challenge every time!  In the past, I have worked with a variety of other trainers and find her style of training to be very effective because she truly keeps your body guessing and you do not get stuck in a cookie cutter routine week after week. Over the time that I have been working with Titia, I can feel a dramatic difference in my strength, especially in my push-ups! I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Titia as I believe that the interest that she has in each client’s personal health and fitness journey helps to keep me moving forward to reach my goals".  Emily G. 

"Awesome results"
A friend of mine asked me the other day if I made a commission by promoting the Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp.  My answer was “no”, but if I were in sales this would be a product that I could easily market because it’s one I’ve come to really believe in!  My trainer, Titia, is amazing…and the results I’ve seen in 6 short weeks have been awesome.

Titia motivates us all with her sweet nature and lots of positive reinforcement.  The workout is different every day - I love is that we never do the same routine twice!  I used to be a runner, but was forced to stop due to knee problems.  Then I tried walking, but the harsh pounding on the pavement still stressed my joints.  The best part of this boot camp is that we work out every part of the body without placing pressure on any particular joint.  I’ve had tons of (good) muscle soreness, but absolutely no issues with knees or hips.  Titia offers modifications to each exercise so that we can all work to our best potential, and she obviously cares about each participant.  She’s so good that I feel that I’m getting the benefit of individual personal training – just in a group setting!

"WOW!"
I joined boot camp because I noticed that my clothes were fitting a little snugger than I wanted them to fit. I was not motivated to get to the gym on a regular basis so boot camp was the answer for me. Boot Camp challenged me physically and allowed me to perform at my own pace. I never got bored with the classes because every class was different but most importantly effective. The class targeted all of the areas I needed most. I dreaded waking up in the morning to go to class but once I got there and got moving I was fine. My day started off right and I felt energized the remainder of the day. Amazingly after only 5 weeks of boot camp, I lost 6 pounds and 6.75 inches. WOW!   Vanessa L.

"I never enjoyed working out."
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I have never really enjoyed working out and I am really enjoying this workout!! I never got any concrete results before because I guess I didn't put enough effort in but with this program I am getting results.  Patti G.- Plano

"I have three children and have never felt stronger"
I met Titia in 2006 after I had my first son.  I was used to working out by myself but after a baby, well, your body is not the same.  I wanted a personal trainer that knew what my body had gone through and would know how to get back as close as possible to where it was!  Titia is full of knowledge and inspiration and has taught me even more on what I thought I knew about fitness and diet.  She has kept my body fit, toned and pushed it to limits that I would have quit by myself.  Years later, I now have three children total and have never felt stronger.  Besides I am going to need the energy to keep up with three kids!  I look forward to each work out and can't wait to see what challenge awaits.  Titia is a great trainer, wonderful friend and I encourage anyone looking ot better themselves in amy amount ot try Texas Fit Chicks and see the results!  Dee M. - Lakewood Village

"I can't wait for my alarm to go off"
Your class has definitely helped me pick myself back up and start working out again...which was the whole reason why I joined.  I've been surprised at how much I like it because I usually do not like mornings or group workouts.  Now, I can't wait for my alarm to go off on Mon/Wed/Fri!!!  I mostly like that the workout is a surprise every time.   Jessica C. - Dallas


McKinney Texas Fit Chicks Trainer LeighAnne teaches our 5am-6am, 6am-7am AND 9:30-10:30am bootcamps! Here's what her chicks had to say:

"I started Texas Fit Chicks at the Crosspoint Church location in McKinney, TX, about four months ago with trainer, LeighAnne Maloy.  Going into the boot camp, I had previously tried losing 20-30 pounds on my own with little to no success.  I would lose a few pounds here and there, but nothing stuck, with my workout routine or dieting efforts. From the first workout with LeighAnne, I began to see that I wasn’t challenging myself enough and had no idea what I was doing on my own.

I love the variety and intervals she shows us during each workout.  It is NEVER boring and always engages different muscle groups.  I always leave her class feeling accomplished, successful and full of energy.  Four months in, and I can honestly say that I’m hooked!  My eating habits have changed; I now look at labels and ask questions when dining out.  My energy level with my child has increased and I’m more productive in my personal and professional life.  I am so glad I discovered Texas Fit Chicks and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to make life long changes to their personal health!" - Tina M

Before I started working out with LeighAnne I thought I was in shape. I was able to run 3-4 miles 4-5 days a week. After having my 2nd baby I needed something more. I have completed 15 weeks of boot camp and immediately signed up for another 15 weeks. I believe I have found my ideal fitness routine. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. My body has never been this toned! LeighAnne pushes me to go further than I would ever push myself. Never did I think I would look forward to waking up at 4:30 so I could workout at 5am. She is just amazing! She goes beyond the workouts too. We get recipes and other nutritional information to help us meet our goals. We are educated. I knew I would see results but its because of LeighAnne and Texas Fit Chicks that so much more has changed. I feel smarter, more confident, stronger, healthier, happier and no matter what speed bumps I encounter I have someone that is behind me to push me over them. ~ Melissa A.

I enjoy working out with LeighAnne! Since I started boot camp, I love working out and eating healthy! I like how she pushes us and motivates us- I think in her class- I will accomplish the body I want. ~ Gloria S.
The things I love most about Texas Fit Chicks Bootcamp is that every workout is challenging and different, even though it's hard work it's always fun, and our trainer motivates me to give all that I have to each workout.  I have more energy and feel so much better since I've become a "Chick"!!!! 
Mary B
Previous to Leighanne, my workouts were not matching my eating habits.  I was working out tremendously hard but losing the weight loss battle.  I also hated running and I would not push myself in that area at all, I had not run further than 2 miles when we first met.  After meeting Leighanne and assessing where I wanted to go with my health and fitness goals, it took no time to drop 24lbs!!  She taught me that proper nutrition was a major factor in losing weight and I am now an avid runner, 5 miles by myself!!  Thanks to her diligence, patients and knowledge I couldn't imagine how I would have gotten to this point with out her!! ~ Stephanie
Texas Fit Chicks Owner Melody hears this from her clients:

Joining Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp has been a life changing experience for me. I have finally found the motivation that I was lacking for so many years. I was very nervous when I joined boot camp that I would not be able to keep up in the classes. From the first day of class I have felt comfortable and confident in my abilities. The trainers show you different levels for each exercise and allow you to increase to the next level at your own pace. I also enjoy how every class is different and the exercises are fun.  After 3 months I have lost 24 lbs and 18 inches.  I could not have done it without Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp. ~ Brooke R.
This boot camp helped me push myself harder than I ever would have pushed myself at the gym.
The large variety of strength and cardio exercises kept me from ever getting bored and the accountability of being in a class setting kept me from making any excuses!  I lost weight and inches in my first five weeks and am looking forward to losing even more! ~ Karen M
In March of last year, my husband and I quit smoking.  I traded in that bad habit for eating sugar and immediately gained 10 pounds.  One day I decided I wasn't doing that any more and was going to clean up my diet and lose that weight.  I dropped the sugar and started working out at the gym with my husband.  Although he dropped weight quickly, mine didn't budge.  I even spoke to my Dr about it and she basically told me that gaining weight was part of getting older and that it was only going to get worse the older I got.  I felt so yucky about myself and cried many times to my husband.  I didn't know what to do.  But then, I found Texas Fit Chicks on facebook.  The weekend after Thanksgiving I decided, I'm going to try this, I'm going to sign up.  I have to do something!  So the first class, I thought "Oh Lord, I don't know if I can do this".  But just when I started to lose momentum, Melody would tell us all "Push, push push!"  and so, I'd just keep on pushing.  Last week I tried on a shirt and I couldn't believe it, it went over my hips a little better.  I must have looked in the mirror 3 times to double check and yep, the shirt was fitting better.  I even modeled it for my husband!  I'm thrilled, humbled, thankful, grateful...all of it for this program and have already signed up for another 15 weeks.  And I'm learning it isn't about a number on the scale, it is about how you feel about yourself...how you feel in your own skin..and right now, I'm feeling GREAT thanks to Texas Fit Chicks! ~ Casey W. 

Michelle our Frisco Texas 5:30am and 9am bootcamp trainer is a favorite among many chicks!

As with most women, it's hard at times to find the balance between family, career and taking care of myself.  I decided last summer that I needed to stop letting life get in the way of taking care of myself.  After many google searches I came across the TFC website and immediately knew that is exactly what I need, no excuses and accountability!

I started TFC with Michelle last June and must say, It's by far the best thing I've ever done.  Michelle keeps us challenged at each workout and always encourages us to make it thru it!  The workouts are never the same which keeps me from getting bored and keeps me coming back!

I've lost 35 lbs to date and excited to continue to work towards my goal weight in 2012.  I'm healthier, have more energy and feel I can tackle anything with the support of my trainer and TFC.

Thanks to TFC for helping make "me" a priority again. - Cindy C.


I started the boot camp in June 2011 and so far I have not even missed one class!  It is so additive!  My trainer, Michelle makes the boot camp fun for us. The exercises that we do each time always target different parts of our body, so there is never boring repetition, like what I used to have with the classes in the health club.  I love Michelles' training style.  She is patient with us and she will watch for our needs.  She suggests modifications for people who have back pain or shoulder pain. I really don't know what I would do without this boot camp! With the help of Michelle's boot camp and Melody's diet plan, I lost 12 pounds back in Sept 2011 and I have been keeping it off! - Cecilia K.

Elizabeth trains at our Allen 5am and 6am Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp...here is what her chicks have to say

"My name is Kelly Jacks and I attend the Allen Fit Chicks at 5:00 am with Elizabeth.  I have been in Elizabeth's class since early summer.  I just wanted to let you know what a great job Elizabeth does leading her classes.  Elizabeth is the reason I get up at 4:10 and drive from Prosper to Allen to attend the 5:00 am class; I then drive to my office in Richardson to shower and get ready for work - it's a total hassle.  The Prosper class is approximately four to five minutes from my house BUT Elizabeth is worth the trouble.  She is such a motivator and inspiration.  I turned 50 this past June and my body doesn't do what it has the last 30 years of my active, adult life.  However, Elizabeth makes me feel like I am in the best shape of my life - she is so encouraging.  Due to years of running on cement and golfing, I have low back issues and she doesn't miss a beat showing me modifications at every turn - she makes me excited to get up at 4:00 to work out!!"

Sandy trains our Wylie Texas Fit Chicks 

"I LOVE Texas Fit Chicks!!!  There is no better feeling than knowing you have gotten your workout taken care of for the day and I love the way my body feels….tight and firm.
Definitely one of the best decisions I have made for myself.  And Sandy, ROCKS!!!"
Debbie Hafele - Rowlett, TX



"Thank you so much for a very great first week Sandy! I feel absolutely amazing and feel too that I am already seeing changes!! Heck, my husband can even see the changes...and just love hearing how proud of me he is:-)) Such a great guy I have:) Really blessed to have found you guys and listening to that radio at the right time that morning. I really needed this accountability!! I am definitely going to give it my all and hope my weenie muscles grow haha:) Thanks again,"

"Since I started boot camp at the Texas Fit Chicks Wylie location, my life has truly changed.  I have more energy every day.  I used to have to go to the chiropractor at least once a month with shoulder and back pain, but now I’m only going about every 6 weeks.  I feel so much better and I look so much better too!!  I am just in the beginning of my workouts with TFC so I am truly excited to see how many pounds and inches I lose after attending for a while.  Sandy is a wonderful instructor and really has a way of keeping you going!  She takes the time to keep in touch with each and every camper and really makes you feel comfortable and welcome at the TFC Wylie camp.  I have referred friends and I have not seen anyone who doesn’t love TFC."

"My name is Tabi and I’ve been working out with Sandy and the Wylie Chicks for almost 12 weeks now and have enjoyed every minute of it!  Texas Fit Chicks has truly kept me on the right path, and after many failed attempts to leave my current “obese” status, I’m starting to see real change in not only how I look, but in how I feel!  I feel stronger every day, more confident about myself and I have more energy than I’ve ever had before!  Beyond the actual workouts, having Sandy as my trainer is what really clenches it for me.  She checks in with me all the time, giving me encouragement, and guiding me with proper eating habits.  I feel like she really takes a personal, genuine interest in my progress and I’m not just “another client”, so to speak.  She’s not just a great trainer, she’s a great friend!  I wouldn’t be where I am now (13” down, 8 lbs lost) without her and Texas Fit Chicks!  My journey is still in the beginning and I know I have the support of my Chicks until the very end and beyond!"
TABI B.


"When I saw my friend Nancy’s post on Facebook about her joining Texas Fit Chicks, I started asking her a bunch of questions about it and I decided to join.  My name is MaryGold and I started Texas Fit Chicks boot camp in January 2013 with Sandy Dement in Wylie.  The first week was so hard, but it pushed me to do something I had never done.  The workouts are always changing, continue to challenge and tone my body.  After four weeks of boot camp, I lost 10 lbs and 5.75”.  Sandy works us hard but also encourages us every second.  Thank you Sandy for doing what you do."
MARGYGOLD D.


"Joining Texas Fit Chicks was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  I had already begun working out in my weight loss journey prior to joining TFC, but since becoming a “Chick”, I’m at a whole new level with my fitness.  I joined just to do one session to get past my plateau and that was in June of 2012.  I have just signed up for another 6 months.  I can’t get enough!!  The difference I have seen since June is amazing.  For the first time in my life, I actually have muscles that are visible.  I have more confidence now than I have had in many years.  Sandy, my trainer, has been wonderful.  She goes above and beyond what she’s required to do.  She is so much more than just a personal trainer to her “Chicks”.  She is a friend and confidant.  I can’t thank Sandy and TFC enough for all they have done for me!"

Not losing weight? 6 Sneaky places sugar hides

Follow Us

Is Sugar Sabotaging your Fitness Goals?
Sugar is hiding everywhere. It's not just about cutting out cake, cookies and candy...though that's a great place to start. Do you know how much you are consuming? If you are a typical American, you may be eating 156 pounds per year! That’s how much the USDA says Americans consume each year on a per capita basis. Sure, some of that comes from standard junk food but much of it comes from more “hidden” sources.

Sugar for many is something they may have been battling with for a long time, but the past is the past. Time for sugar to be seen for what it really is, and for us to take back full control of our lives. Here’s a simple three-step process to help you start to win back the battle for your health.

First Step – Awareness of what Sugar Really Does to Your Body

I think most people I talk to will say they “know” that they shouldn’t have sugar, but they really can’t help it. To me that is a lack of true awareness of what sugar does to oneself. I don’t think many people will say that they want to hurt their body on purpose, but unless they know it’s really happening they will continue down that road. Sugar is slower to impact our health (as we don’t die from an overdose right away), and it’s that slow destructive process that is the most dangerous. Unfortunately most people don’t know the damage until it has already been done (diabetes for example).

Let’s look at what is really going on with sugar from inside our body’s point of view.

•Sugar increases fat storing. Possibly the most important hormone in the body when it comes to weight loss and health is insulin. Insulin is the main hormone that we have full control over daily through our diet and lifestyle. When we eat sugar and it enters into our bloodstream too quickly, we have a spike in blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Now in times of high activity we are able to burn it off, but if we are sitting around this is not a good thing. So in response to that high level of blood sugar (known as glucose), the body will release more insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin will then take the excess glucose and try to find a place to store it. If your muscles are all full (or have insulin resistance) then the best place to put the excess glucose is fat cells. When insulin is high, the fat cells are told to start storing (shutting down any process of releasing stored fat into the blood for burning). With chronic high insulin spikes comes a resistance to it (insulin resistance) by your cells, leading to more insulin production, leading to more fat storing, and more resistance, eventually going down a road of diabetes and ill health for the whole body. It’s interesting to note that in cultures known for their longevity, many had different diets and lifestyles but the one thing they all had in common was low fasting insulin levels.

•Sugar disrupts normal brain function. I think most people can relate to mood swings and energy highs/lows that come after a high sugar meal. Sugar can also be the source of many people’s increased anxiety and depression. Let us not also forget the kids with ever-increasing attention “disorders” and behavioral issues. Sugar is not helping with that, either. In fact, there have been many studies that show when taking sugar out of a kid’s diet and increasing fat intake, their attention/learning ability increases, their behavior changes for the better, and in some extreme cases have been able to manage (if not eliminate) seizures. The brain is made mostly of fat and although runs on glucose it gets “shorted out” with too much sugar.

•Sugar decreases your overall health and makes you age quicker. Too much sugar will lower your overall immune system, increase destructive inflammation, lead to essential mineral deficiencies in the body, feed bad bacteria growth in your gut (all health starts in the gut) and other wonderful stuff. Aging is just a fancy word for the body breaking down quicker than it can repair itself, as that is what happens when we get older. Aging also is accelerated by the increasing risks of all degenerative diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and cancers. We are all going to get older, but it doesn’t mean that we have to “age” quicker.

Not a good overall list on what sugar does to our body right? Well on the reverse side by taking sugar out of our diets as much as we can (and controlling insulin), we can effectively help to do the following:

•Increase fat burning ability of the body.

•Increase the immune system and state of health.

•Slow down the destructive aging process.

•Decrease risks for most degenerative diseases.

•Have steady energy all day long (no crashes or swings).

•Have increased mental clarity, focus and concentration.

•Increase positive behaviors in children (as well as adults).

So first step is that we need to be aware of what sugar is really doing in our bodies. Once we see what is happening, I think we can start to change our view on whether it is our good friend or possibly public enemy #1 in our daily lives.

To have better health and reach your fitness goals, it's mandatory that you read labels and know where your sugar intake truly comes from. Here are 6 sneaky places that sugar hides ~ you might be eating more than you think!!

• YOGURT - Generally, this is a food that people consider “healthy”. However, unless you choose the Plain flavor, you’ll be getting a lot of sugar. Check the label and you’ll find on average about 20 to 25 grams of sugar in a measly 6 ounces. Choose greek plain yogurt, sweeten with a little Truvia or Stevia and mix in 1/2C frozen blueberries. Problem solved!
• SALAD DRESSINGS - Salads have always been a great choice when trying to lose weight. But, not only can they be laden with fats, but even the healthiest, veggie-packed salads can pack a sugar punch from the dressings that accompany them. Choose an oil-based dressing and ask for it on the side, so your lettuce isn't taking a bath on your plate!
• SOFT DRINKS - Here’s where a huge portion of consumer sugar intake is found. Studies show that soft drinks account for as much as 33% of all added sugars consumed. And if you think switching to sugar-free diet drinks is the answer, think again. The risk of obesity appears to be higher among diet cola drinkers. Recent studies show that those who drink diet soda eat more junk, since they end up craving sweets more often. Choose to sip on green tea or Crystal Light Pure - both great options!
• CEREAL - Checkout the serving size on the back of the box. A serving is often only ¾ cup which means most people tend to have at least two servings at breakfast. Plus, cereal is often eaten as a snack as well, and a few handfuls can quickly add up. Many cereals that tout themselves as being healthy have more sugar in them then a candy bar. Kashi offers a great selection of cereals that are all low in sugar. Another option would be to choose steel cut oatmeal for breakfast to fill you up for the day.
• PROTEIN BARS -  Many times they are glorified candy bars! Several on the market disguise themselves as being packed with protein and all natural ingredients, however, the huge sugar content diminishes their nutritional value. In some cases, you might actually be better off grabbing a chocolate candy bar. Choose Supreme Protein bars, or look for one that has less than 12g sugar.
• LOW FAT FOODS - Fat makes many foods taste good! When fat is eliminated,often the flavorful taste disappears too. To prevent a low fat food from being too bland, manufacturers regularly add extra sugar to ensure a good taste. So while the fat grams may be low, there are plenty of calories because of the extra sugar. Choose foods that are not processed, and eat "clean" 90% of the time to avoid the extra sugar that's often packed into 'lowfat' foods.

Why do you need to watch your sugar intake? Most experts agree that sugar in its pure form is not inherently “bad” for you. The problem with sugar is that it packs a lot of calories per serving. Plus, since foods with sugar in them taste good to most people then we eat larger portions of those foods. Therefore, we consume more calories when we eat high sugar foods.

In 2003, the World Health Organization released guidelines indicating sugar should account for only about 10% of our daily calories, which is roughly only eight teaspoons. Most labels refer to sugar in grams -- eight teaspoons is about 37 grams. What does that mean to you? Well, one six ounce yogurt and one cup of many brands of cereal will quickly put you over that recommended limit.

Whenever you read the ingrediants, the first 3 labeled are the most prevalent in the food. If sugar is the first ingredient listed on a food, you probably should consider putting it back on the shelf. And remember, there other terms for sugar that food companies use. It also is referred to as high fructose corn syrup, glucose, sucrose and other names. Pay extra attention to the foods mentioned in the hidden sugars list above. And, if eating high sugar foods, limit your portion.

Texas Fit Chick Results

Texas Fit Chicks Bootcamp was not at all what I expected, but better! I didn't feel uncomfortable about my fitness level or my size. The exercises introduced were at different levels based on your individual needs.  My goal was to not have to stay at level one for very long and I was amazed at my results within the first few weeks! - Rhonda 

I've lost 25lbs, 18 inches are gone, a drop of 8% in body fat and down 4 BMI points with 3 days a week of Texas Fit Chicks Boot Camp!! ~ Shar C.

I love the way the instructors encourage you to go beyond what you think you can do. This is definitely the best workout program I have ever been a part of. After just two weeks of bootcamp, I fit back into my pre-baby jeans..that was a special surprise! ~ Lacy  S.

I was amazed and excited today at the results of my workout with TFC Trainer, Melody Chandler…I am 65 years old, about 40 lbs over my goal, and have been with the program about 2 ½ weeks only. Today I was able to keep up with the workout, and do pretty well, when Melody told me it was similar to a workout that I could barely do a week or so ago! I couldn’t believe it….also, I could almost keep up with the walk/jog warm-up! These are big improvements for me, and I am feeling better and eating better too….I am so happy to be a part of Texas Fit Chicks, and know if I keep on,  I know I will meet my goals! Charlotte W.

Boot Camp has inspred me to work out again. The trainers are very good at pushing us in a nice and motivating way! Variety keeps me coming back! Melissa L

Final day of my first 5-week boot camp session. Results: lost 12 lbs and 11 inches. And yes, I have already signed up for session 2 ~ Celeste F.

Texas Fit Chicks boot camp helped me push myself harder than I ever would have pushed myself at the gym. The large variety of strength and cardio exercises kept me from ever getting bored and the accountability of being in a class setting kept me from making any excuses!  I lost weight and inches in my first five weeks and am looking forward to losing even more! ~ Karen M.
