Now that we are starting out a new year, one of the most common resolutions is ” I will lose weight”. That is one of my personal goals as well. While I have changed by diet by eliminated some things that I know are just inherently not in my body’s best interests to intake, I still have a long way to go. The GPT personnel trainers study and practice the art of eating correctly. It is a fairly simple formula that taking in more calories than you burn is never going to result in weight loss.
The GPT trainers show students how to combine exercise with eating a proper diet. That combination will prevent disease and provide the body and mind with a healthy structure in which to thrive. Many of us fear the hunger factor. There are ways to curb that feeling without having that constant ache in your stomach. Some tips from the CDC, reveal a few of those.
To be able to cut calories without eating less and feeling hungry, you need to replace some higher calorie foods with foods that are lower in calories and fat and will fill you up. In general, this means foods with lots of water and fiber in them. The chart below will help you make smart food choices that are part of a healthy eating plan.

The owner and professional trainers at GPT follow a series of steps to weight loss and conditioning. One of the multiple steps in their program is outlined below by owner Matt Lein:
At GPT, we advise our weight loss clients to move away from traditional cardio and focus instead on metabolic conditioning. Traditional cardio training refers to the workouts you see most people doing at the gym. Walking on the treadmill, coasting on the elliptical, riding a recumbent bike while reading, etc. Traditional cardio is aerobic rather than anaerobic, moderate rather than intense, steady state rather than intervals, and focused on duration rather than intensity. These days everyone has an Apple Watch or Fitbit to track their daily steps and calories burned. While it is encouraging to see people taking pride in being more active, these devices are flawed tools if the goal is weight and fat loss.
We know a caloric deficit is the requirement for weight loss, but did you know that only 15% of your daily calories are burned through physical activity, while 75% are burned by your natural resting metabolism? So, what is a more efficient approach to maximize our caloric output throughout the day – to focus on the 15% or the 75%? Burning calories during our cardio is great, but we can create a much more impactful effect on our overall caloric output if we boost our resting metabolism in the process.
This is why GPT clients, are taught to do metabolic conditioning rather than traditional cardio. Examples of this would be HIIT training (high intensity interval training), sprint interval training, strength circuit training, or max intensity distance cardio (example would be running 3 miles as fast as you can, rather than pacing yourself in order to run 4-5 miles). All of these methods are designed to maximize the calories burned both during and after the session. By prioritizing intensity over duration our clients increase their resting metabolism for up to 24 hours post workout. When metabolic conditioning is used in combination with a well-designed strength training program, and proper fat loss diet, the results on body composition are truly amazing.
