Is Emotional eating the main reason for weight gain? We eat un-neccessarily for a variety of reasons : stress, boredom or simply because of 'nervous energy'. This is emotional eating. For tips like these (and more) don't forget to join our FREE monthly E-News : http://bit.ly/MONTHLYENEWSMAROUBRA So - when you self diagnose as 'emotional eating', here's some tactics to employ: • Chew on low sugar chewing gum • Brush your teeth and use listerine • Find a distracting activity - ie walk the dog or play with a toothpick! • Come prepared to work with vegetables to snack on (instead of vending machine items...). • Chew slowly, take small bites and put your fork down between mouthfuls - the slower you eat, the longer the food lasts • If you are feeling bored or anxious - call a friend who talks a lot (that will distract you...) • Find an alternative stress release. Remember if you are fully satiated, you don't need to eat...so how about boxing? Do an extra training session in the gym ....

HAVING PROBLEMS TRYING TO QUIT?? Last week we highlighted sugar addiction and how hard it is to give it up - simply because your brain is hooked on the endorphin rush all sugars trigger.... How do you De-Tox from sugar? 1. Don't try to go cold turkey! Sugar is as addictive as nicotine. How many smokers quit successfully the first time?? 2. Think VOLUME REDUCTION For example: If you have 2 bowls of sugary cereal, cut it down to one and have a banana. 3. Think Substitution. For details on this point and more - come see our Personal Trainer Gerard here at Plus Fitness Maroubra!

It's the start of a new year and one of your #resolutions is probably to QUIT JUNK FOOD! AND all the foods sugar hides in. But is it really that easy.....? NO….because you are a SUGAR JUNKIE and Christmas only made it worse.... Like with any addict - quitting starts with acknowledging the problem. BUT why are you so addicted? We know that sugar is everywhere and that the refined sugars are the worst. Your body has had a lifetime of it though. And it craves the endorphin rush that all sugars give. Hard drugs stimulate endorphins exactly the same way sugar does. Hence why you are an addict. Next week ... how to DETOX from sugar ... #shockingtruthsaboutweightloss #thursdaytip

A question commonly asked is - to burn fat should I try the High Intensity Interval Training Zone (HIIT), or is the fat burning zone the right one to stick to?

It's Monday and time to be inspired by the achievements of our fellow members! Jay and Chi Xu make a valid point through their top fitness achievement. Because it is often sports specific gym routines that help your body to become better at sports outside of the gym. In fact a lot of cable, free weight and kettle bell exercises mimic the movements made in a lot of sports. Want advice on getting better at your sport?
