CleanIngredients For Life #1: How Weight Loss/Weight Gain Works | In this episode, Romy explains what a pound of fat is, and what to expect during the weight loss process, because the goal is to lose fat, not lose muscle. The best way to make your body burn fat more efficiently is to graze all day long (eating 5-6 smaller meals rather than 3 "square" meals per day), and increase your muscle mass. More muscle burns more calories, even when resting, and an increased metabolism avoids the highs and drops in energy, instead giving you a constant higher level of energy all day long. | 2/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanIngredients for Life #0: Holiday Weight Gain | In this episode, Romy talks about holiday weight gain, and the self-sabotage that typically accompanies "resolutions" to lose weight. The best way to make lasting positive change, in both eating habits and exercise habits, is to acknowledge where the first step is, and pick an action goal that is reasonable, rather than aggressive one that makes it easy for someone to give up on. | 1/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
