Nutrition for Weight Loss

There is so much conflicting information in the world at the moment about what, when and how much we should eat. It is no surprise that most people are totally confused as to what to do. Everyday new so-called magical diets appear on the market.

Every week most women’s magazines have a new diet in them, a new idea or plan of attack.

If you’re like most people you have tried them all and probably failed at most of them. A good diet is only successful if it can be maintained for the rest of your life. The very fact of going on a diet means that at some point you must come off of it.

This common phenomenon is the very thing that prevents you from achieving your goals. Your state of health, your body shapes and your weight will always be a reflection of what you are currently doing. So if you lose a few pounds and return to your old habits, your old body shape will return with it.

At Gold Coast Personal Trainers our aim is to teach you simple and effective changes in Nutrition for Weight Loss that suit your lifestyle and taste.

These changes will be more effective long term, than any short-term wonder diet currently on the market.

Remember, if you can’t maintain it for life, don’t even start!

Osteoporosis Australia, estimates 1.5 million Australians suffer from osteoporosis.

There are more than 50,000 fractures a year due to osteoporosis. That’s more than 138 fractures a day.

1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men are affected over the age of 60. It’s not a matter of whom, but when, it will develop for most.

Half of all women and one third of all men will suffer a fracture related to osteoporosis.

The effects of osteoporosis are more deadly than all the female cancers combined. 20% of people who experience a hip fracture will die and more than half will never be able to walk unaided again or remain in their home.
