Dover Nutritional Coach talks habits vs metabolism

Have you ever found yourself thinking that your metabolism is dead? That no matter what you do you’ll never lose the weight? You’re not alone. We hear it a lot: my metabolism is dead, my metabolism is sluggish, my metabolism just doesn’t work. But what if your metabolism isn’t the problem? What if it’s your habits? When people talk about metabolism, a lot of the time they really don’t have a good grasp of what your metabolism actually is and how it functions in your body. What your metabolism is in charge of is your total daily energy expenditure, meaning how many total calories you burn each day. There’s a few ways that ....

Dover Personal Trainer talks drive, capacity, and capability

When it comes to reaching our goals, every single day we make a decision to either move towards our goals or move away from our goals. It's our habits that establish whether or not we will reach our goals. All too often we underestimate the impact of the choices we make today, in favor of looking toward the end result: "Someday I'll lose 50 lbs." It's easy to say, oh I'll start tomorrow, or eating bad on the weekends isn't a big deal, but in the long run the result of those small decisions can accumulate in not reaching the goals you have set for yourself. The idea that weight loss should be quick and painful is totally false: you don't have to completely uproot your life and change ....

Overcoming the "Sitting Disease"

Extra, Extra, read all about it! America has been overcome by a deadly disease: the sitting disease. It may sound a little ridiculous, and many of you have probably asked this simple question: is sitting really killing us? The short answer: yes, sitting is REALLY killing us, but not in an overt way. Death by sitting occurs slowly, over time. Before we get into sitting and how it is a contributor to death rates in America, let’s look at what lack of movement causes and how it is impacting the vast majority of the country. According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), 6 in 10 adults in America have a chronic disease, and 4 in 10 adults have 2 or more. Chronic ....

Dover Nutrition Coach: Food is NOT your enemy!

When people make an appointment with us to discuss nutrition, we’re never sure what the appointment is going to entail. Most people know that eating chicken and vegetables is a better choice than eating a hamburger and fries. There is a huge difference between knowing and then choosing what you want more. Some people think that they know what to eat, ut learn that maybe they don’t after all. We’ve learned over the years of counseling people regarding food, there are more emotional connotations that you can imagine when it comes to food. It seems that as we were raised, food played a huge role. When grieving we turn to “comfort food.” When ....
