W hen I first met Igor I knew I had met a companion in natural health. His passion for helping people achieve their health goals radiates from. I was excited to learn about this book because the topics discussed in the following pages uncover very important information about how to achieve the health we really want.
I am a certified nutritionist and a lover of whole, natural foods, and dancing in the kitchen. Earlier in my career, I noticed that many clients who came to see me had an understanding of what they should do to reach their health goals but they werent taking action. They would tell me what their goals were; then they would tell me what they ate that day, and I would ask them what was one thing they could have eaten different that would have been more aligned with their goals. They could always tell me at least one thing. It was then that I realized that information was important, but helping clients turn that information into action was essential for achieving the health they wanted. I found that truly transforming their relationship with food was what was needed and this has been a focus of mine ever since. One of the things I love about STOP EXERCISING! The Way You Are Doing It Now is that Igor has done a fantastic job of both providing information to show you what to do, as well as helping you uncover why you struggle to take action. I believe that its this balance between information, motivation, and transformation that will be an important key to your success.
The other thing I love so much about this book is that it addresses the whole picture. So often, when people set a goal, they go out and take some actions. For example, if someone wants to lose weight the most common action is to eat less or to go on a diet. The problem is that this is a short-term solution which doesnt fully address the underlying reason why you are overweight in the first place and it doesnt take into account all of the reasons why you gained the weight. This book takes a look at the whole picture. It looks at all the factors that are involved in reaching your health goals. It shows you not only how to reach your goals but, more important how to maintain that new fit and fabulous you!
Introduction
T he alarm clock goes off before sunrise; you drag yourself out of bed and put on your running shoes, for your regular five-km run. You feel fantastic when you get home. You sit down to enjoy your healthy breakfast, and you are sure that when you get on the scale at the end of this week you will finally see the results you crave. Time and time again you swear that your scale must be broken it cant be telling you that you have put on another pound. It has been a long time since you fell for that, Someones got to eat the last doughnut, trick. After all, you didnt eat that last dipped doughnut which was sitting on the plate in the lunchroom last week. How is it possible to gain fat when you are exercising and eating right? What is going on?
You have picked just the right book to shed some light on your problem and you can be rest-assured that you are not alone. I wrote this book because most of our clients are busy, stressed-out professionals with children between the ages of 12-30 years old. Some of these clients are on some sort of medication. They exercise regularly and eat what they think is a healthy diet, but they are frustrated because they arent seeing the fat-loss results they desire. The reason people come to us for help is because other fat-loss approaches have failed. We are only happy to help.
Fat loss is not just about exercise and nutrition. In my experience as a fitness professional, personal trainer, and public speaker I have discovered that stress management is critical to fat loss.
When most people think of exercise they think of long-duration cardiovascular exercise, such as swimming, running or cycling; although these activities may be enjoyable, they may also cause adrenal fatigue, which could be harming your fat-loss efforts. Then, we must consider the question of hormonal balance, digestive health, and the influence of toxins on the body. I have identified eight hidden reasons as to why some clients do not lose body fat despite doing everything right. I discuss this extensively on my website: 8hiddenreasons.com.
Body transformation is a combination of four factors: nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, and exercise. In this book, I have drawn on the expertise of many other professionals in each field in order to give you the answers you seek.
The way my company works is that we assess our clients using our Symptom Questionnaire, Biosignature Modulation (which is a system of correlating your body fat to your hormonal profile) and, together with blood work, we find that they have one or more of the above-mentioned factors that point to fat-loss resistance. We will discuss fat loss as a pleasant side-effect of getting healthier, which may result in more energy: you will fit back into your clothes, and start noticing changes when you look in the mirror and, in turn, regain your self-confidence. Sound good?
