Hi YouFitMEFIT's,

Our hormones…are they making us Fat?
If you have dieted and exercised in the past only to be disappointed then don't dismay or give up just yet....Diets and exercise are just two pieces of a complex puzzle of weight loss. Hormones are the key to unlocking your weight loss success!
Hormone Imbalance - The Secret Cause of Weight Gain
It is not common practice to get our hormones checked, but even the slightest imbalances can tip the scales and just make weight loss a futile exercise.
Hormones are often not integrated into diet programs because frankly they are very complex. There are numerous different hormones in the body and these present in over a thousand possible combinations that can affect your health and weight. Ref:http://www.femail.com.au/hormones-diet-weightloss.htm

Your Ready Fit Body
Being Physically Active
Walking versus running — what's better? Very interesting and controversial subject especially if you ask personal trainers this ? 

Perhaps the single biggest health message we hear these days is we should exercise more.
For many people it comes down to a decision between walking and jogging. So which of those two will help you lose the most weight? Which is better for your general health? What are the dangers?
Reporter Brooke Hanson puts her best foot forward to find the pros and cons of walking versus jogging.

Shayne QLD: After surfing why when I grab a carby (healthy type) snack eat it because I'm starving...5min later I grabbing everything I can out of cupboard and can’t stop myself from eating?
MEFIT personal trainer Answer: Speaking of throwing your hormones out…after surfing then eating any kind of carbohydrate snack you release so much insulin because it’s such a big hit of food especially after surfing for a couple of hours, having no carb stores left. What you will find is you are geting the big high from the breakdown of food/sugars, Hi GI snack and then the low once your body has processed that. Then off you go to cupboard to feast on something else because your body is just craving the hit of sugar. Try eating 50-100grams of protein instead, drink a lot of water and give it 5minutes. Try it yourself after a good hour workout or sport session; let me know how your body reacts? Read more YouFitMEFIT's: http://youfitmefit.posterous.com/mefit-personal-training-sutherland-shire-10
