Below is an excerpt transcribed version of a conversation that Mike and Cora had, about Cora doing our Fat Loss Blueprint course.

When it comes to achieving long-term fat loss, finding the right balance between nutrition and exercise is key. Recently, we had the pleasure of speaking with Cora Moore, a client who completed our Fat Loss Blueprint: Nutrition & Exercise Guide For Long-Term Success. Her experience highlights the transformative power of a well-structured, comprehensive approach to fat loss.

Mike: Hi Cora, thank you for joining us today. To start off, could you share 2-3 things you liked the most about the Fat Loss Blueprint course?

Cora: Absolutely! The first thing that really impressed me was how comprehensive the course is. It covers everything from the basics of nutrition to detailed exercise routines, all presented in a clear and engaging way. I especially loved the practical tips for sustainable fat loss. These weren’t just quick fixes but strategies I could integrate into my daily life for lasting results. Additionally, the course provided excellent information on the importance of protein and fibre, which has helped me make more informed food choices.

Mike: That’s great! Was there anything about the course that surprised you?

Cora: Yes, there was. I was genuinely surprised by how much I learned about nutrition myths. I’ve always heard conflicting advice about things like intermittent fasting and the keto diet. The course broke these topics down in a way that made it easy to understand what’s fact and what’s fiction. It really opened my eyes to how many myths are out there and underscored the importance of having accurate information.

Mike: It’s amazing how enlightening accurate information can be! Was there anything you think could be improved in the course?

Cora: Honestly, there wasn’t much I’d change, but if I had to pick one thing, I’d suggest adding more interactive elements. The content is fantastic, but having more quizzes or interactive activities could help reinforce the information even more. It would make the learning process even more engaging and effective.

Mike: That’s a great suggestion. Lastly, who do you think would specifically benefit from taking this course?

Cora: I think anyone who wants specific information about losing fat long-term would benefit greatly from this course. It’s perfect for people who are tired of quick fixes and want a comprehensive guide that provides sustainable, long-term strategies for both nutrition and exercise. Whether you’re just starting your fat loss journey or looking to refine your approach, this course offers invaluable insights and tools.

Notes About Recipe

  • Disclaimer: recipe adds some protein to an otherwise low protein recipe. That being said, not all recipes need to be modified to have more “health” (vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein, etc.). Especially if they are a treat, or a tasty snack – which are more about enjoyment than nutrition. This is because a treat or snack implies a smaller portion of food, in particular a treat is something you shouldn’t be having daily. Therefore, it’s effect on what your overall diet looks like should be minimal. You have permission to ignore this recipe modification and enjoy the classic Rice Krispy recipe, without guilt. This disclaimer is also for parents, you don’t need to change treat or tasty snack recipes to make them healthier. Instead, teach your kids (and yourself) moderation and balance.
  • Recipe is based on 3 inch square serving size.

Unlocking Weight Loss Success: Carl’s Journey with Ozempic

Unlocking Weight Loss Success: Carl’s Journey with Ozempic

by | May 29, 2024

Below is a transcribed version of a conversation that Mike and Carl had, about Carl’s use of Ozempic, that might help others understand more about Ozempic.

Carl’s Story

Mike (Registered Dietitian): You’ve achieved some remarkable results with the help of Ozempic. To start, can you tell us a bit about your background and what led you to consider using Ozempic?

Carl (Client): Absolutely. I started my weight loss journey at 283 pounds, and today I’m steady around 220 pounds. I’ve always struggled with my weight, especially with controlling my food cravings and snacking habits. Despite trying various diets and exercise routines, I couldn’t get the results I wanted. That’s when my doctor suggested Ozempic.

Mike: That’s impressive progress. Can you share how Ozempic has specifically helped you with your weight loss?

Carl: Sure. One of the biggest challenges for me was managing my food cravings and limiting snacking, which often led to overeating. Ozempic has been a game-changer in that regard. It significantly reduced my appetite and helped me feel fuller for longer periods. This made it much easier to stick to my meal plans and avoid unnecessary snacking throughout the day.

Mike: That’s great to hear. Many people struggle with those same issues. Besides the appetite control, how has Ozempic fit into your overall lifestyle and weight loss strategy?

Carl: In addition to taking Ozempic, I’ve been consistent with weight training, working out 1-2 times a week, and staying as active as possible. I believe the combination of Ozempic’s effects on my appetite and my commitment to physical activity has really driven my success. The reduced cravings allowed me to make healthier food choices, and the exercise helped with fat loss and overall fitness.

Mike: Consistency with exercise is definitely key. Have you experienced any side effects from using Ozempic? Many people worry about potential nausea or constipation.

Carl: Fortunately, I haven’t experienced any side effects like nausea or constipation. I was aware of the possibility of constipation, so I took fibre gummies regularly to help prevent that. They worked well for me, and I haven’t had any issues.

Mike: It’s good to know that you’ve managed potential side effects effectively. As you look forward, what are your thoughts on the long-term use of Ozempic for weight management?

Carl: Honestly, I’m still unsure about the long-term picture. I do anticipate needing Ozempic in some capacity for ongoing weight management. My doctor and I are continuously evaluating my progress and adjusting the plan as needed. My main focus is to maintain the healthy habits I’ve developed and use Ozempic as a tool to support my goals.

Mike: That sounds like a sensible approach. It’s important to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the best strategy for you. Now, I’d like to ask: how has working with a registered dietitian helped you on this journey?

Carl: Working with a registered dietitian has been incredibly beneficial. You’ve provided me with personalized nutrition advice and meal plans that fit my lifestyle and preferences. They also helped me understand the importance of balancing my macronutrients and incorporating more fibre-rich foods to complement the effects of Ozempic. The ongoing support and accountability from regular check-ins kept me motivated and on track. I don’t think I would have seen the same success without your guidance.

Mike: Do you have any advice for others considering Ozempic for fat loss?

Carl: I’d say, don’t hesitate to discuss it with your doctor if you’re struggling with weight loss and have similar issues with cravings and snacking. Ozempic has made a huge difference for me, but it’s not a magic solution. Combining it with regular exercise and healthy eating habits is essential.

Mike: Thank you, Carl, for sharing your journey and insights. Your story is inspiring and offers valuable information for anyone considering Ozempic as part of their weight loss strategy. Congratulations on your success, and best of luck as you continue on your path!

Carl: Thank you! I hope my story helps others who are on a similar journey. It’s all about finding what works best for you and staying committed to your health goals.

Carl’s journey with Ozempic highlights the potential benefits of this medication in managing food cravings and supporting weight loss. His success underscores the importance of combining medication with consistent exercise and healthy eating habits. If you’re considering Ozempic for fat loss, consult your healthcare provider to determine if it’s the right option for you and develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs – like possibly regularly working with a Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer to keep you consistent with a nutrition and exercise plan.

The Pitfalls of Labeling Food as ‘Good’ or ‘Bad

The Pitfalls of Labeling Food as ‘Good’ or ‘Bad

by | May 11, 2024

Labeling food in a dichotomous way (good/bad, healthy/unhealthy, etc.) misunderstands how nutrition influences one’s health or specific goals.

Nutrition influences your health, positively or negatively, over the long-term – your consistent dietary pattern, not isolated events (e.g. eating one chocolate bar, eating a fast food meal, etc.).

A better approach: view positive or negative changes on a sliding spectrum, between Ideal and not Ideal; and understand that extremes on either end are not reality.

See the following infographics that highlights this better: “quotation marks” are used in the following examples to describe subjective terms.

Takehome Message

Start thinking of your nutrition as a representation of your consistent efforts, not isolated events. Thinking this way will help you understand that food isn’t inherently good/bad, healthy/unhealthy.

As the saying goes: “It’s the dose that makes the poison.”

In the case of positively impacting your health, “It’s the consistent dose that improves your health.”

Positive Nutrition Habits For Health

Here are some positive nutrition habits that if consistently done will improve your health immensely:

  1. Adequate caloric intake for weight management (the following habits will help with this).
  2. Adequate fibre intake (25g/day for females, 38g/day for males). This includes regular consumption of fruits & vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds.
  3. Adequate protein intake (at minimum 0.36g/lb, higher for different goals – e.g. 0.7g/lb for building muscle and strength training).
  4. Mindful eating. Practice mindful eating by paying attention to your food choices, chewing slowly, and savoring each bite. This can help prevent mindless eating and promote better digestion.
  5. Limit Added Sugars and Sodium. Be mindful of hidden sugars and sodium. Opt for naturally sweetened options like fruit and limit your intake of salty snacks and high-sodium foods when possible.
