Fortify Your Future

Here are several examples of very healthy food.

Healthy Food daily is what your "diet" needs to be and not something you do once in a while. It includes knowing how many Calories you burn daily so you know how much you need to eat daily. Understand how much you need to eat daily by using our proprietary calculator. You will quickly determine how many Calories you burn daily based upon "you" - your weight and your daily routine.

If you do not know your heart rate during your exercise you won't know if you are burning fat or muscle. Any activity that increases your hear rate over 60% of your maximum heart rate will burn very little fat. That is why walking for the same time would have burned would have burned nearly 100% fat for energy! Review our heart rate calculator to "know" when your body is no longer using fat for energy.

Exercise is equally as important as food and you need to make it a part of your life. Find out how many calories you burn daily - even if you don't exercise. As a member, you can do this using our proprietary calculator. Once you know how many Calories you burn daily, you will know how much you need to eat daily for your goals.

Healthy Food vs. Unhealthy Food

Food is sold in traditional grocery stores, bulk food warehouses, farmers markets and many other places. But how do you know healthy foods from unhealthy foods when you are somewhere that doesn't have labels, like in the farmers market?

Just because you are somewhere that you have fresh food from local farms doesn't mean it's "healthy".

Heart Rate = burn fat?/burn muscle??

What does your heart rate have to do with burning fat or muscle?! EVERYTHING!

This is absolutely "CRITICAL" information for you to have if you are attempting to lose fat!

The higher your heart rate, the LESS fat you burn!

If you keep your heart rate under 60% of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR), you will be burning close to 100% fat for energy.

The "wives tale" about 'getting your heart rate up because it's so great for you' is the opposite of what you want! Your body controls you - not the other way around. You have your opinions and desires, but you cannot change how your body functions.

You can, however, learn enough about your body (right here in Garrison Body) so that you can obtain the goals you desire. You just need to know "How" first.

Simple Exercise

Exercise encompasses a lot of wives tales and jargon, but you only need to know that it means you are doing "something" other than sitting...doing nothing. Your diet is not the only thing that you need to consider for changing or for maintaining.
