Food, Focus and Fitness

John Henry Creel of Mind Body Fitness isn't your average personal trainer. He's as interested in building your mind as he is your body.

In his book, C-Reel Results, he spends the first three chapters looking at transforming your thoughts and beliefs before getting into the nutrition and fitness.

In a passionate and enthusiastic interview John talks about why women shouldn't be afraid of weights and how weight training is the key to unlocking your metabolism.

Here are his three tips.

1. Don't Wait to Get Some Weights! Everyone should invest in several sets of dumbbells (3-10 pounds for women to start and 10 - 25 pounds for men)
2. Eat Less Sugar. Watch your sugar intake and make sure each meal has some veggies, some starch, some protein and a little fatty acids (found in fish oil, avacado and flaxseed)
3. Adjust Your Attitude! What you think and believe is just as important as what you eat!

When it comes to losing weight or getting in shape, what do you struggle with?
