They cast a spell over the most well-meaning dieter, and cause logical people to overeat until their sides hurt. They occupy your thoughts to the point of obsession as you try to ignore a plate of cookies. And when it's all said and done, they accumulate on your body in the most obtrusive way as a result of dozens of unused calories. Why does food hold such power? And, most importantly, how can you control your eating? The End of Overeating David A. Kessler, MD set out to answer these pressing questions in his instant bestseller, The End of Overeating. Despite being a pediatrician, a former FDA commissioner, and former dean of the medical schools at Yale and the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Kessler struggles with his weight. Observing the current obesity epedemic, he knew that he wasn't alone. Dr. Kessler, with the insight of some of the brightest minds in medicine and science, discovered the following three reasons that most of us are compelled to overeat.
An Irresistable Combination Rewires Your Brain: Think of your favorite treat - most likely it can be broken down into the basic building blocks of sugar, fat and salt. This combination is known of as the ‘three points of the compass', a combination that has been shown to literally alter the biological circuitry of your brain. Sugar, fat and salt give food a high hedonic value which gives you pleasure. This pleasure reinforces you to return to your favorite foods time and time again.
The Food Industry Targets You: Everywhere you go you'll see the clever work of the food industry, tempting you with highly palatable creations. Food has become a science, and your taste preferences the guiding light. The food industry has one goal - to get you hooked. By constructing food items that are high in sugar, fat and salt they know that you will come back time and time again.
Conditioned Hypereating Becomes a Way of Life: Humans are conditioned to seek more reward. When readily available, hyper palatable food become our reward a pattern of hypereating quickly emerges. Dr. Kessler describes the cycle: "Foods high in sugar, fat, and salt, and the cues that signal them, promote more of everything: more arousal...more thoughts of food...more urge to pursue food...more dopamine-stimulated approach behavior...more consumption...more opioid-driven reward...more overeating to feel better...more delay in feeling fulll...more loss of control...more preoccupation with food...more habit-driven behavior...and ultimately, more and more weight gain."
Breaking the Cycle The good news is that you don't have to remain trapped in a cycle of overeating. The following three tips will put you back in control.
Set Your Rules: In order to resist overeating in today's tempting food environment, you must eat by a set of self-imposed rules. Predetermined rules take away the need to make food decisions in vulnerable moments. Dr. Kessler thinks these rules should be, "simple enough to fit with your busy life, but specific enough to remove uncertainty from the food equation." For suggestions as to what rules you should adopt, let's turn to another authority on eating, bestselling author of ‘In Defense of Food', Michael Pollan:
Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
Pay more, eat less. Look for quality of food over quantity.
Eat meals. Cut out snacking, stick with structured meals.
Don't get your fuel from the same place your car does. Gas stations are great for fueling your car, but the food they sell are not suited to fuel you.
Try not to eat alone. Eating can become mindless when alone, leading to overeating.
Eat slowly. Eat foods that have been prepared slowly – that means no fast food.
Make Negative Associations: When was the last time you peeled a lemon and ate it whole? Probably never. That's because your taste buds have a negative association with the sour taste. Our taste buds have traditionally been our guide when it comes to food selection, but this must change for you to successfully avoid overeating. Since the food industry purposely crafts food items to please your taste buds (not waistline) what tastes good can no longer dictate what you eat.
It's up to you to create negative associations with unhealthy food - despite their pleasing taste. Here are some negatives to focus on:
Those extra calories will accumulate around your waist.
Your health will suffer.
You will become more disspointed with your appearance.
You'll feel sluggish.
Give Yourself a Real Reward: The bottom line is that we eat unhealthy food as a reward, even though it causes more harm that good. It's time to give yourself a truly benificial reward – exercise. Exercise is a healthy reward that will not only release endorphins into your system, but will also give you the benefit of weight loss and improved health.
I truly believe that you can overcome your pattern of overeating with healthy eating and regular exercise. Call or email today to get started on a program that will truly change your life.Now Offering Massage at BodyForm Personal Training!

If you start your day with sugary pastries or a greasy breakfast sandwich, the rest of your food choices will follow suit. However, when you start your morning with a wholesome and nutritious meal you'll be more likely to continue with good choices throughout the day. Try the Veggie Power Juice recipe below or our awesome shake from Usana as a nutritious start to your day.

1 cup packed fresh spinach
2 green apples
4 large carrots
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger

A variety of events converged to make weight loss happen this time for me – both emotional and psychological, but mainly psychological, which I think is a major issue for many of us. No one can cajole or nag you into loosing weight (or change any other bad habit), it all has to start with a commitment from you.
That being said, the decision to work with a personal trainer was quite by accident but turned out to be the right decision for me. It gives me the structure and organization to set goals and maintain a workout schedule. Joe is a great trainer – sympathetic, not judgmental but does make me work (otherwise, what’s the point).
A co-worker once said that she did not have time to exercise. My response was “yes, you do. You are just doing something else with the time.”
Marianne has been training 3 months as of 9/15/2009 and has lost 20 lbs! As she eludes to, it takes hard work and we know that it's not about the trainer but we also know that we can help!Marianne Myrick, Glen EllynYOUTH ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT
My daughter has enjoyed the workouts and son has benefited IMMENSELY from the workouts. I have said to you both at drop off time, my son has been struggling with his transition to middle school. The combination of A.P classes and 90 minute blocks has been very challenging for him! When he leaves your class, he is in a much better mood!!! We are able to come home and eat, do homework, play w/the dog and then lights out.
I have seen him looking in mirror at his shoulder muscles. :) Class is giving him confidence, and a positive feeling about himself. I heard about the 32 pull-ups. :) LOL

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture, according to it's practitioners, is a medical treatment involving the insertion of very fine sterile needles into the body at specific points according to a mapping of "energy pathways." Historically, acupuncture is one component of an overall program of Chinese Medicine that includes theory, practice, diagnosis, physiology, and the use of herbal preparations. Acupuncture is used to control pain, treat allergies, relieve addiction withdrawal, and help people lose weight.
Many researchers from both Eastern and Western cultures liken acupuncture to hypnosis. A quiet and calm conscious state is achieved allowing improved energy flow through blocked neuronal pathways which can cause disease.
Acupuncture for weight loss is really a modern application rooted in Western cultures. The focus of this page is on acupuncture's safety and effectiveness in helping people lose weight.

I hope you can make it! If you have not been contacted about this FREE 12 week weight loss program you should contact Jake for more details and to sign up! Jake Chesney 630.870.1179Flipping the Switch: Turn Your Motivation OnHave you ever wondered how some people are able to maintain amazing bodies while you struggle with your weight?
They make it seem so easy to achieve and maintain results. What do they know that you don't? When you boil it down, the answer is quite simple.
The missing link between you and your ideal body is good old motivation.
A healthy dose of motivation coupled with determination will get you almost anything in life. So how do you know if you're genuinely motivated?
Motivation will tell you to get out of bed for an early workout.
Motivation will nag you to put down the doughnut.
Motivation makes passing on fries a reflex.
Motivation makes a sweat drenched workout exciting.
Motivation constantly reminds you why you do what you do.
If your motivation levels are lacking, read the following four steps to turn on your motivation.
Step #1: Pinpoint Your Motivator.
Motivation stems from having a goal. What is your goal? Why do you want to get into great shape?
Once you uncover your personal motivator you'll find that motivation flows quickly your way.
Take a minute to really uncover the reason that you want to lose the weight. Don't say something vague like you want to 'Be thinner' or 'Look more attractive.' Dig deeper – there is a very specific motivator in your life, you simply need to uncover it.
Here are some possible motivators...
I want to have more energy to keep up with the kids.
I want to improve my health through weight loss to extend and improve my life.
I want to lose 15 pounds before my vacation.
I want to restore my confidence to wear sleeveless shirts.
I want to regain my figure to impress and attract my significant other.
Step #2: Make It Official.
When you write something down it suddenly feels official, doesn't it? Write down your motivator for getting into great shape, and post it where you will see it often - next to your alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, or in your car.
Each time you see your written motivator take a moment to visualize yourself accomplishing your goal. Try to make the scene as clear in your mind as possible. This is a powerful tool for maintaining your focus and direction.
Step #3: Be Practical.
It's game plan time. You know what you want, and now you need to map out exactly how you'll achieve it. It is important to be practical in your planning, rather than throwing out ideas that you know you won't stick with.
With any weight loss goal it is important to 1) maintain a healthy low-calorie diet, and 2) participate in a consistent and challenging exercise program.
Plan a routine that will fit into your schedule and you'll be more likely to stick with it. Also choose an exercise program that you enjoy - don't force yourself to jog everyday if you hate jogging.
Step #4: Call For Backup.
Enlist the support of your friends, family and co-workers. Tell everyone about your goal to lose weight and get fit, you'll be surprised how supportive most people will be. By being open about your goals you'll likely be an encouragement to others to make healthy changes in their own lives.
The most effective way to ensure that you meet your goal is to enlist my support, your personal trainer. Together we will identify what really motivates you. Together we will design a workout routine that fits into your schedule and into your life. And together we will see it through until your goal is met.

Danille.pacific@comcast.netPlan AheadHalloween is right around the corner, and candy seems to be everywhere. Most people use the holiday as an excuse to purchase their favorite treats, and end up eating far more of it than they should. Break out of the weight gain cycle by saying no to candy this year. There are plenty of non-edible treats that you can purchase for the kids, or stick with healthy treats like boxed raisins. By taking a minute to plan ahead you'll save yourself from countless calories. Easy Homemade Lentil SoupFew things are as comforting, on a brisk autumn day, than a bowl of hot lentil soup. This recipe is surprisingly simple with 5 minutes of prep and a cook time of just 30 minutes. Serve for lunch or dinner with a piece of hearty whole grain bread and a salad.
Yield: 12 Servings
Here's what you need...
7 cups water
2 1/2 cup dried red lentils
1 large onion, minced
1 teaspoon turmeric
Large pinch of cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

A variety of events converged to make weight loss happen this time for me – both emotional and psychological, but mainly psychological, which I think is a major issue for many of us. No one can cajole or nag you into loosing weight (or change any other bad habit), it all has to start with a commitment from you.
That being said, the decision to work with a personal trainer was quite by accident but turned out to be the right decision for me. It gives me the structure and organization to set goals and maintain a workout schedule. Joe is a great trainer – sympathetic, not judgmental but does make me work (otherwise, what’s the point).
A co-worker once said that she did not have time to exercise. My response was “yes, you do. You are just doing something else with the time.”
Marianne has been training 3 months as of 9/15/2009 and has lost 20 lbs! As she eludes to, it takes hard work and we know that it's not about the trainer but we also know that we can help!Marianne Myrick, Glen EllynYOUTH ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT
My daughter has enjoyed the workouts and son has benefited IMMENSELY from the workouts. I have said to you both at drop off time, my son has been struggling with his transition to middle school. The combination of A.P classes and 90 minute blocks has been very challenging for him! When he leaves your class, he is in a much better mood!!! We are able to come home and eat, do homework, play w/the dog and then lights out.
I have seen him looking in mirror at his shoulder muscles. :) Class is giving him confidence, and a positive feeling about himself. I heard about the 32 pull-ups. :) LOL
Thanks again!

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture, according to it's practitioners, is a medical treatment involving the insertion of very fine sterile needles into the body at specific points according to a mapping of "energy pathways." Historically, acupuncture is one component of an overall program of Chinese Medicine that includes theory, practice, diagnosis, physiology, and the use of herbal preparations. Acupuncture is used to control pain, treat allergies, relieve addiction withdrawal, and help people lose weight.
Many researchers from both Eastern and Western cultures liken acupuncture to hypnosis. A quiet and calm conscious state is achieved allowing improved energy flow through blocked neuronal pathways which can cause disease.
Acupuncture for weight loss is really a modern application rooted in Western cultures. The focus of this page is on acupuncture's safety and effectiveness in helping people lose weight.
Youth Athlete Development Program
For ages 10-12, 13-14 & 15-18
Youth Athlete Development Program will be running at 4:00PM Monday-Friday & Saturday mornings.
Foundational Movement Patterns and Layering for teaching young athletes.
Our philosophy is for you or your young athlete to become a pro at just a few foundational movement patterns. We will always work on these patterns and then we will progress each individual based on their own ability of mobility, coordination, strength, flexibility, coachability, and passions. There is no set program but we have core foundations we teach to all young athletes which will without a doubt make them a better athlete!Each day we will start back at the basics and continue to progress (called layering) until we challenge the young athlete.The layering is a great way to create new neurological patterns as well as teach in a way that the child learns through repetition.For more information call Coach Voris 630-865-8573

They make it seem so easy to achieve and maintain results. What do they know that you don't? When you boil it down, the answer is quite simple.
The missing link between you and your ideal body is good old motivation.
A healthy dose of motivation coupled with determination will get you almost anything in life. So how do you know if you're genuinely motivated?
Motivation will tell you to get out of bed for an early workout.
Motivation will nag you to put down the doughnut.
Motivation makes passing on fries a reflex.
Motivation makes a sweat drenched workout exciting.
Motivation constantly reminds you why you do what you do.
If your motivation levels are lacking, read the following four steps to turn on your motivation.
Step #1: Pinpoint Your Motivator.
Motivation stems from having a goal. What is your goal? Why do you want to get into great shape?
Once you uncover your personal motivator you'll find that motivation flows quickly your way.
Take a minute to really uncover the reason that you want to lose the weight. Don't say something vague like you want to 'Be thinner' or 'Look more attractive.' Dig deeper – there is a very specific motivator in your life, you simply need to uncover it.
Here are some possible motivators...
I want to have more energy to keep up with the kids.
I want to improve my health through weight loss to extend and improve my life.
I want to lose 15 pounds before my vacation.
I want to restore my confidence to wear sleeveless shirts.
I want to regain my figure to impress and attract my significant other.
Step #2: Make It Official.
When you write something down it suddenly feels official, doesn't it? Write down your motivator for getting into great shape, and post it where you will see it often - next to your alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, or in your car.
Each time you see your written motivator take a moment to visualize yourself accomplishing your goal. Try to make the scene as clear in your mind as possible. This is a powerful tool for maintaining your focus and direction.
Step #3: Be Practical.
It's game plan time. You know what you want, and now you need to map out exactly how you'll achieve it. It is important to be practical in your planning, rather than throwing out ideas that you know you won't stick with.
With any weight loss goal it is important to 1) maintain a healthy low-calorie diet, and 2) participate in a consistent and challenging exercise program.
Plan a routine that will fit into your schedule and you'll be more likely to stick with it. Also choose an exercise program that you enjoy - don't force yourself to jog everyday if you hate jogging.
Step #4: Call For Backup.
Enlist the support of your friends, family and co-workers. Tell everyone about your goal to lose weight and get fit, you'll be surprised how supportive most people will be. By being open about your goals you'll likely be an encouragement to others to make healthy changes in their own lives.
The most effective way to ensure that you meet your goal is to enlist my support, your personal trainer. Together we will identify what really motivates you. Together we will design a workout routine that fits into your schedule and into your life. And together we will see it through until your goal is met.
Call or email me today to get started on the program that will transform your life.Now Offering Massage at BodyForm Personal Training!

Danille.pacific@comcast.netPlan AheadHalloween is right around the corner, and candy seems to be everywhere. Most people use the holiday as an excuse to purchase their favorite treats, and end up eating far more of it than they should. Break out of the weight gain cycle by saying no to candy this year. There are plenty of non-edible treats that you can purchase for the kids, or stick with healthy treats like boxed raisins. By taking a minute to plan ahead you'll save yourself from countless calories. Easy Homemade Lentil SoupFew things are as comforting, on a brisk autumn day, than a bowl of hot lentil soup. This recipe is surprisingly simple with 5 minutes of prep and a cook time of just 30 minutes. Serve for lunch or dinner with a piece of hearty whole grain bread and a salad.
Yield: 12 Servings
Here's what you need...
7 cups water
2 1/2 cup dried red lentils
1 large onion, minced
1 teaspoon turmeric
Large pinch of cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper
Combine water, lentils, onion, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until lentils have disintegrated, about 30 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
