Hey girls! Tiffany Dawn here, and
welcome back to a fun little surprise
video! This week I am here with my friend
Amanda. And she is a fitness instructor
and personal trainer and she's super
awesome. You did an Ironman, right? Half
ironman. Ironman is this year's story. That's crazy!
So yeah. That's amazing.
So, girls, I've asked Amanda come on
because I think sometimes we make new
year's resolutions off of myths or
misconceptions about fitness.
So I'm just gonna ask her questions and
we'll go ahead and get started. So Amanda,
if I eat fat, I'm gonna get fat.
Is that true? No. So the good news is you
can actually eat fat. Yes!
Fat doesn't make you fat. But we want
the good kind of fat: avocados, nuts,
olive oil, meat that's grass fed - so
good quality - can actually be really
beneficial. FDA guidelines actually
recommend that your diet be around
25-30% percent fat. And
that's what's really gonna help you have nice hair,
nice skin, nice nails... So far makes you
beautiful.
Yeah, and it also helps you feel fuller. I
totally bought into the low-fat, no-fat
for a while and I was always hungry. All
I want to do is eat! But don't be scared
of fat. It's not actually fat that makes you
fat.
We're actually finding it's probably
more of the sugar.
Okay I'm gonna throw an unexpected one
out. You know gluten-free is like the big
thing. And like I am gluten intolerant, so I
like literally cannot eat gluten or I'll throw up,
but... - Me too! - Are you really? - Yeah! - I didn't know that!
Oh that's so funny! Surprise!
Yeah but like a lot of people assume
because it's gluten-free it's good for
you. That's not true, is it? No. So I'm so
glad you asked that because that was one we
did not think of. Bonus for free! Gluten
free came about because of an actual
medical condition or an intolerance, and
then people saw that you could lose
weight by not eating gluten, so it
became gluten-free means you lose weight.
That's not true.
Gluten-free products that are still
processed are still processed foods and
most of them actually have less
nutritional content than foods that have
gluten. So just because your box says
gluten-free, doesn't mean it's better for
you. In fact most of the time it's
actually worse for you. I had to switch
from eating gluten-free processed food
to really looking at whole foods, like
instead of bread, I'll eat potatoes. So
you're still eating real food as opposed
to the processed food. Okay here's one that
I thought many times -- that if I lifted
weights I would start to look like a man. And
I didn't want to be buff, so I just
didn't lift weights. If I had a dollar for
every time I heard that, I'd be so rich
right now, it would be amazing.
We don't have enough testosterone as
women to look like men.
So you can safely increase your weight
and lift heavier weights, and not look like a man,
which is super awesome. We sit
there and we're worried about like, "I can
only use five-pound weights in class,"
but a gallon of milk weighs eight pounds.
Does it really?? Yeah! So like why are we only lifting
five-pound weights in class when
everything we're doing in life is
heavier than 5 pounds? It doesn't make sense;
you're training for life!
I currently lift a lot of weight and
I don't think I look like a man. I'm
always waiting for the day when I tell
a client, "No, look, I lift this much and I
don't look like a man," and they look at me like,
"Yeah, you do." I've often thought that
if I want to be really healthy and happy
that I have to be a certain size or
certain weight. I have never met a person
who has been happier when they reach
their goal weight if that's not what's
right for them. My goal for myself is to
be strong and to be able to do life well.
I have been a very unhealthy 120 pounds
and I'm now a very healthy 150 pounds.
And that's 30 pounds heavier which is
crazy, but I also have a much healthier
body and a much lower body percent fat
percentage.
Yeah so it's crazy, like the number on
the scale really doesn't tell you that
much.
If you start doing a program where
you're going to build some more muscle,
which is really anything - even running
you get muscles in your legs - that scale
number might not move, but your body
composition - so the percent of body fat
will decrease. I like to go by how my
clothes fit. Your number on the scale may
not go down at all, but your clothes will
fit better because you have less body
fat.
Okay so to see success, do I have to - while
working out - then also eat like cardboard
and tofu and birdseed as well? - like
nothing good? The good diet of twigs and
the cardboard box. Like, no. It
really comes down to balance and
moderation. And I tell people as a
general guideline, if you could pick it
from your backyard or you could kill it,
then it's probably good. And that sounds
terrible -- apologize to my vegetarians --
but if it comes out of a box, it's
probably not as good for you.
So the less processing that something
has, the better it is for you.
I don't get caught up on calorie
counting. I try and listen to when I'm
hungry when I'm not. Stick with a wide
variety towards the outside edge of the
supermarket. And spices, a little bit of
good fat, adding a little avocado, really
goes a long way. So a lot of people think,
"If i want to be healthy, I have to be on
a diet." The word diet just refers to what
you eat. Right now we're all on diets
because we're all eating. Some people
have better diets than other people.
Anybody who
I have ever trained or interacted with who's
been "on a diet" has never lasted.
It always ends and then they typically
gain the weight back.
I've totally eating even like six times more
than I would have just because I was
trying so hard to like resist the chocolate
milkshake. Okay, I'm not gonna eat the
chocolate milkshake, not gonna eat it.
Oh, cookies! They're not the chocolate
milkshake, so I can eat the cookies. When
if I had just eaten the chocolate milkshake I
wouldn't have eaten anything else, and I
probably would've been better off.
And that's actually why I
business is called Thrive Fitt, because I'm
trying to get people to stop depriving
themselves and start thriving. People are
more likely to stick with healthy habits
when you have some times where you're
like, "Oh, I really love my grandma's
meatloaf that she makes on Christmas and
so I'm not going to eat it every day for
the rest of the year, but I'm just going
to eat that meatloaf and then I'll be
good to go." Again it goes back to
balance. A lot of times we say 80%
not processed and then 20%
percent eat however you want. If you can
follow the 80-20 rule, you'll be just
fine. And that actually reminds me of the
next myth, which is to get a really good
workout I have to run or do something
that I'm going to hate. And this is
something I believed for a long time. I
was like, "I hate working out," I just would
always tell myself that. So confession: I
run a lot and I bike a lot and I swim a lot,
some days I hate it too. So on those days
sometimes I try and find something that
I love to do. I love to lift weights. If I
am exhausted and just need to get moving
or I'm super stressed, a lot of times i
will go and lift weights - and like lift
the heavy weights, because that's what I
love to do. Some people Zumba and dance
it out. The important part is that you're
moving, whether that's yoga, pilates,
triathlons, running, playing sports,
chasing your little brother and sister
around the yard - like that is exercise,
and we forget that because it's not in a
gym. You may find you really love mountain
biking! I didn't. That didn't happen for
me. I didn't love mountain biking.
I was too scared of all the rocks. So no, you
don't have to run to lose weight. You
just need to move. Amanda, basically every
weight loss campaign you see says that
you can see results in 3-10 days.
Can you really see like lasting, real
results in a week? If you've never worked
out before you may notice some
differences, but it's probably not an
actual physical change. Sometimes it's
water that you're losing or inflammation.
There's a lot of reality TV shows now
based off of trainers and weight loss.
We won't mention any names, but the
largest not winner - if you catch my drift.
Really gave us a false
sense of what exercise looks like. They
all had incredible weight loss and they
worked really hard, like six to eight
hours a day, they were eating a very
strict diet, but if you look at the
results after, they gained most of that
back, because again, it wasn't real-life
sustainable. I don't have 6-8
hours a day to work out, but people get
frustrated: "I went every day for two
weeks and I didn't notice a change!" It
takes longer than two weeks. And for
some people it's been 20 years of
being unhealthy, and you can't get
healthy in two weeks.
Consistency is key; balance is key. So for
people who are Christians - a lot of my
viewers are - sometimes there could be
this idea that, "Oh if i'm spending time
like taking care of my body, I could be
using that time better to like pray or
like do devotions or something." What
would you say to that? A) I think quiet
time is a huge part of our health and
fitness. Prayer and studying God's Word
cannot be neglected. If you think of your
health as a triangle - your physical
health, mental health, your social health -
your spiritual health is really in the
center and that's kind of what holds
everything together. Again, balance. The
Holy Spirit lives inside of us and like
we're called to honor God with our body,
so whether that means to you modesty, I
think in my mind it also means having a
healthy vessel for Him to live in.
Yes you could work out too much and
neglect your spiritual life, and then
your triangle starts to shift a little
and you'll notice like maybe you're more
grouchy or you're not at peace, you're
really stressed, and that's when -
usually those things happen when our
triangle starts to shift. Thank you so
much for sharing these things! And check out
Amanda's Instagram and her blog - she's got
tons of really cool videos on her
Instagram that can show you how to do
different stuff, different workouts and
whatnot, but it also has like
her blog and encouragement and
inspiration. So thrivefittlife.com. Yes,
and "fitt" has 2 t's. That confuses people
all the time. Two t's.
Perfect. So you'll definitely want to
check that out. Have an awesome day girls,
and happy new year! Happy new year!
