BE FIT, BE OUT AND BE PROUD
by adam winter Happy Pride season to all! As the myriad of Pride events approach throughout San Diego, I want to give everyone who will be partici-
pating and celebrating, key healthy lifestyle tips to use now and going forward to get in the best shape of your life! Getting in shape, feeling your best and looking great should not just be a short-term achievement. It should be a long-term, lifestyle
achievement that keeps getting better with age. Here are two key pieces of advice for achieving results; eat appropriate ratios of proteins, carbohydrates and healthy fats for your body type and exercise smarter... not harder.
EAT APPROPRIATELY FOR YOUR BODY TO ACHIEVE RESULTS: I am often asked by new clients, “What foods should I eat, how much should I eat and how often should I eat so that I can achieve my goals?”
• If you want to lose weight: Eat fats (coconut oil, olive oil, organic butter). • If you want to gain muscle: Eat protein and fats (100% grass fed beef, free range chicken, wild caught fish). • If you want to maintain your body: Eat in ac- cordance to your metabolic type.
As a certified nutritional specialist, I always look
at each client’s metabolic type. This is determined by answering a series of questions. After deter- mining if a person is best supported by a protein focused diet, a carbohydrate focused diet or a mixed diet, I design a well-rounded nutrition plan to facilitate the results that a client is seeking. That may be weight loss, muscle gain or just maintain- ing their overall physique. You can sign up for my monthly newsletter to receive your free metabolic typing questionnaire today!

• If you’re not getting the results that you want, then stop guessing and hire a profes- sional trainer. • If you show up to the gym and you do not feel that you can give 100 percent effort then take the day off and do active recovery such as bodyweight exercises, a 30-minute walk or restorative yoga. • Exercise first thing in the morning for opti- mal results.
EXERCISE SMARTER, NOT HARDER: My new clients often say, “I work out every day,
I’m so tired and I still haven’t had improvement.” Why do we always feel that we need to exert ourselves to the point of exhaustion in order to get results? Clients who have trained with me over the past eight years will tell you that they have achieved their best results by working out smarter and not harder. This means that you need to have balance in your exercise routine. I firmly believe that exercising three to four days a week with weights is optimal in order to achieve the results that you have always wanted. Here are three tips for working out smarter:
I hope that you do take the time to integrate these tips into your lifestyle. When eating appro- priate foods and ratios for your body type, you will ultimately feel better, look better and have more energy. Integrating this style of eating with a more thoughtful approach to exercising will ensure long-term, healthy results so that you feel and look your best. One last thing: If you are going to the Pride
Parade this year, be sure to eat food before con- suming alcohol, stay hydrated with water under the sun and most importantly, share your Pride!
