A Bigger Picture of Health

08/16/10

Fellow blogger Lindsey over at Sound Eats has launched a new site, Healthy Living Blogs. The question she poses this week: What does health mean to you? As a Health and Wellness Coach with a blog about healthy living, you would think this would be an easy one but as I thought through how I would answer, I realized that… Read More

Bootcamp Day 1: Bang for the Buck

08/16/10

My workouts lately have consisted of running and yoga so I was long overdue for a change in routine. I bought a Groupon for Stacy’s Bootcamp earlier this year and figured now was as good a time as any to use it. Monday at 6 a.m. comes early but there is no better way to start the week than with… Read More

ABC Kitchen Sets Bar High on Farm to Table

08/15/10

The number of must-try restaurant options available in NYC makes being a health coach in this city a constant challenge (a topic I addressed in a previous post). I often venture out to the latest and greatest restaurants only after careful study of the menu. But when the restaurant has raw, vegan or farm to table themes, I’m there in… Read More

Summer Sweat

08/14/10

Today just might be the best weather we’ve had in NYC all Summer! My boyfriend and I were awake bright and early and since he has been feeling under the weather, decided to forgo our morning run but traded it for a stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge. He and I have both made the trip once before but never together… Read More

The Great Closet Cleanout

08/12/10

Beyond a healthy diet and exercise, your home environment contributes to overall well-being. Whether your papers are filed, your workspace is inspiring, your air quality is in check or your closet is organized will impact how you feel about yourself. When I moved out of my studio apartment last year and in with my boyfriend, I gained a massive walk-in… Read More

Rice, Rice Baby

08/12/10

Last night I had one of my very best friends over for dinner. She lives in my hometown of Louisville, Ky and I can’t even remember how long it had been since I’ve seen her so we were really looking forward to catching up during her short visit to NYC. Instead of going to a busy restaurant or noisy bar,… Read More

Amazake is Amazing

08/11/10

I love when I stumble on new and nutritious foods to experiment with. Tonight I’m having a friend over for dinner, so as I was planning the menu yesterday and looking for a healthy and non-sugary dessert to end the meal, I came across a pudding recipe using an ingredient called amazake. I dutifully went to Whole Foods to look… Read More

Your Body Knows Best

08/09/10

I took a short hiatus from posting because we’ve had out of town guests for the past week. They left today and I’m now looking forward to getting back to my routine. Don’t get me wrong, I love having visitors but it’s often necessary to give up eating and exercise patterns along with any sense of a schedule for the… Read More

Never Underestimate a Sardine

07/30/10

One food I am loving right now is sardines. There. I can’t believe I said it. You wouldn’t believe the disgusted looks I get when I admit this. But if you have never considered adding sardines to your diet, you should. Sardines are named for Sardinia, an Italian island where large schools of the fish were once found. The small,… Read More

 Holistically Hot Transformation

How I Turned My Passion Into a Business: Next Generation.TV

I say this ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TIME - the we I say this ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TIME - the weekend is 43% percent of your week!

How many times have you started a program or created new habits and stuck with them during the week, but then totally flew off the rails come the weekend? 

That was always me. I’d feel like every Monday I was “starting over” or “getting back on track” after every vacation. I absolutely hated that feeling. 

Because the weekend is such a large chunk of the week, being in that cycle didn’t feel good to me. When I found TRIM, I was ready to make healthy living an actual LIFESTYLE that I could maintain anytime, anywhere, and still enjoy cocktails without the guilt. 

I found that TRIM made it easy to do that. Did I still need to make some sacrifices and be disciplined? Of course you always will when you have goals to reach. 

These tips are what I share with my clients to keep nutrition balanced on the weekends so they can still live their life but not set themselves back on reaching their goals. 

My next round for TRIM starts on June 5. This is my last round until August.

Calories and carbs can seem scary. If you’ve b Calories and carbs can seem scary. 

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ve probably heard me say it before, but I’ll say it again: Eating fewer calories and fewer carbs is not the recipe for weight loss. 

In TRIM, we calorie cycle and carb cycle. 

This means we eat fewer calories on some days and more, or regular, calories on others. For carb cycling, we do two back-to-back low carb days. 

We pair our lower calorie days with rest days and our low carb days with HIIT workouts. 

Mot days, we’re eating in the “more” range for calories and carbs and that can be difficult for women who are used to restricting one or the other – or both! 

Your body needs carbs and calories for your metabolism to fire, muscles to build and to fuel your body for daily activity. 

Limiting one or both to see a quick and short-term drop in weight (and it WILL be just that – quick and temporary), will damage your metabolism making it harder to lose weight in the future. It can also affect your thyroid and adrenal function. 

To see lasting results, you have to fuel your body. 

That’s why in TRIM we CALORIE CYCLE and CARB CYCLE so your body gets the fuel it needs. 

Calorie Cycling keeps you in a caloric deficit and Carb Cycling depletes your body of glycogen. Both can help with weight loss. 

Ready to give this a try and finally make long term changes?

Why is TRIM 49 days (7 weeks) long? Studies show Why is TRIM 49 days (7 weeks) long?

Studies show it takes anywhere from 21 to 66 days to form a habit.

The key is consistency. When you repeat the same behavior, it becomes more automatic and ingrained in your daily routine. 

In TRIM, I keep the schedule the same for my clients…the same daily tasks….and daily accountability to make sure you form not just a habit, but a lifestyle. 

I know it’s important to set realistic goals and start small, so we focus on one habit at a time. 

I help you celebrate your progress along the way and to keep perspective if and when you slip up. And when you do, I help you get back on track and keep pushing forward.

We start June 5 and there will be no July round. Go to the link in my bio or trimbootcamp.com/marissa-mcfarland to sign up!

Week 1: You see less bloating my implementing small, simple habits
