Fat Loss Troubleshooter Speaks-Emails Round 5

1-From Mike

Leigh,
I know that you have done extensive work with eating disorders.  I am an avid listener of your podcast and The Fitcast and find you very smart and insightful.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and I currently run several group homes for juvenile males in the Phoenix area.  I want to be smarter about the diet that the boys eat, especially in regard to how diet affects mood and behavior.

Can you give me any insight if there certain foods could be useful in helping to calm behavior or foods that should be avoided?  I currently try to ensure that the boys are eating a healthy diet, but beyond that are there steps I could be taking that could be beneficial to their treatment?

2-From Melvyn

Hi Leigh,

I would like to know about how you got started in this industry, I will be starting my studies in human nutrition in 2010, and I would like to know what I can do while studying or after finishing the degree.

Thanks
Melvyn

3-From Jen

Hey Leigh,

I just want to say first off that I think what you are doing is a fabulous thing and I am very impressed with your knowledge and tenacity with which you project your messages regarding weight loss.

I am writing this just as an FYI,I am looking for nothing more but…I just want you to be aware of how hard it is for some people (like me) who have an eating disorder and came to your site as a result of the metabolic recovery manual.  The difficulty (and why I just removed myself from your subscription) is that the emails I keep receiving only talk about losing weight, getting started, getting motivated, don’t give up, this is why you should lose weight, etc.  Then you have someone like me who is desperate to lose weight, but can’t, and shouldn’t and then I receive the above mentioned emails.

Like I said, I value what you say so very much and I have read both of your books, I have even asked for your personal help, so this is not a critique but rather a head’s up to make you aware that your audience is more diverse than other run of the mill weight loss sites.  So, thank you for your continued efforts in this field and I will from time to time check out your blog.  Right now I think it is too much for me to keep receiving your motivational emails as I am trying to moderate my time on this (seemingly) never ending weigh loss roller coaster.

Keep Smiling, Jen

Dear Leigh,

I am at the tail end of a severe respiratory infection which has kept me from training for the past 3 weeks, and will most likely keep me out for another week (dr’s orders).  I was wondering if you could advise me how best to get back into the swing of things.  I want to regain my stamina as quickly as possible without making my body want to revolt  .
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lori

P.S. Any updates on when the cookbook will be available?

5- Anonymous

I’m on week 4 of your Metabolic Repair program (as of today) and my birthday is In four days. I’m wondering if it’s okay to have some champagne or wine to celebrate or will it stuff my progress? What about a piece of cake???

Also, I’m terrified of loose skin. I’ve gained 50kg in the course of a year. I tried fasting to get my weight down but I couldn’t control my eating and I just kept ballooning. I’ve gained stretch marks on 3 parts of my body that never had stretch marks before and I’m extremely scared of ending up with loose skin. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? I’m only 22 and don’t want to have loose skin on my body for the rest of my life.

Would greatly appreciate your reply, and if you would like to use this question on your site you’re welcome to, but please just blot my name out.

Thanks!! I look forward to your response.

So how are you guys hanging in there? Check in is coming up and look for updates on my crew on Sat. I have a sneak peak for you…

They are kicking some SERIOUS fat loss tail!

Fitcast Episode Is Up


18 Aug

I had a great time chatting with Kevin and Tony. I wanted to give you a preview of what we discussed and I have two words for you. Turkey Titties.

I swear I found this by typing in that.

I swear I found this by typing in that.

You have no choice but to go listen to the episode now. I also talked about important issues relating to your metabolic health and gave away a super secret recipe for the new Body by Eats book. Whatever gets you there, just go there! If you are inspired to buy either of the books because of the episode (and my brilliance) do me a favor and get it through Kevin’s link on his site. Throw a little support to the host Kevin. Fitcast Episode: Leigh Peele

Leigh Peele and 3 Big Pieces of News


13 Aug

Big News #1- I am going to be talking on the Fitcast. For those not aware of what it is Fitcast is a fitness show hosted by Kevin Larrabee. I am told my boy, Tony Gentilcore, is going to be on the call so I am excited about that. Tony is one of my favorite fitness bloggers due to him being able to consistently fuse humor and something good to say every time.

If you have something you want answered shoot some questions here: http://thefitcast.com/?page_id=440

Big News #2- I am ending my run of distance-training until further notice. I have taken up a position of helping other professionals that will not leave me time for new distance clients. This is a pretty big deal, short term. I am still going to be doing in-person training, but in order to do that I can’t take on any more clients in a distance-sense except for special conditions or case clients. As a result, I am feeling terrible turning down all the requests for training. Even though I won’t be able to take on new clients I AM going to be doing phone consults and a free conference. Thus, it works out better because you are going to get more of me and for cheaper.

Big News #3- Body By Eats is going to be having a recipe contest and it’s own blog! Not only will you get your recipe in Body By Eats you will also win the book, all the downloads, and did I mention the luscious cash prize?!

Stay tuned for more details to come.

EDIT: I got one message asking what is “special occasions or case clients” and how do you qualify?

Well sometimes I do a particular study on a certain group of people (ex-smokers, cancer recovery, etc) and will ask for them.

The special occasions are not because ”I have lots of money” since in reality I could care less about the monetary aspect, and I can get that without being “picky.” Instead, special occasions are usually those with severe physical limitations or illnesses. It’s for those who otherwise can’t afford a personal trainer, and I work with them in exchange for having data to pull from them and to just help out. I can’t do this all the time but I do so when I can because it’s still important.

So while it’s fun, and I can’t say I hate it, throwing money at me isn’t going cause a different motivation at the moment and that isn’t what my work is about. It’s only a time issue and nothing more. I will still work with my current clients and am very happy to do so at that.

That being said, please remember the current change isn’t forever and you will find that even better things are to come.
