Are You Really Hungry?
With 0% of Americans dying from malnutrition, it’s obvious that we have access to enough food. In fact, 42% of women that live below the poverty level are obese, as well as 29% of men and 20% of children! So clearly access to enough food isn’t the problem. I believe our biggest challenge is overcoming our appetite and only eating when we’re trul ...

The Magic of the Multi
Whenever you sit down with your doctor or nutritionist, they usually ask you if you are taking a multivitamin. You either say, “Yes, of course,” or admit that you have the bottle on your kitchen counter but aren’t the best at remembering to take it.

I am relatively new to working out. Right now I do a lifting/cardio routine. How many days a week should I workout and for how long?

As far as my diet is concerned should I concentrate on eating carbs or protein or both?

Thank you for your help!!

Reply
- FitKim March 28th, 2011 at 20:43
  
  The number of days per week and length of your workouts is very individual based on the person, so I would recommend meeting with a Personal Trainer so they can customize a fitness program for you. As far as your diet, you will want to consume mostly carbs for energy and a some protein to build your muscles and help with repair. This is very important to reaching your goals!

Hi Kim!

I am 29 years old and love to workout. However right now I just do cardio. Should I lift weights as well? I am just worried I will get bulky. What do you recommend?

Thanks,
Sabrina

  Yes, you definitely want to incoporate weight training as well. It is super common for women to fear getting bulky, but that does not happen overnight so don’t worry about that just yet! Check out my Workout Video to see how I combine cardio, strength and stability training together to maximize results. Thanks!

Hi Kim,
I just now found your website! I was wondering if you had any insight on how to get started on a good workout routine. I love being in shape, but I struggle getting started AND staying motivated. Any advice?

  Hey, Sarah! Thanks for checking out the site;) For ideas on getting started, read How to Jump Start Your Fitness Program under the Fitness page. Now for motivation, I am going to write an article on using a Vision Book coming up here soon, so keep your eyes open for that. It will really help you stay on track. Hope you are doing well!

Hey old friend You helped me so much the first time I did this! I need your motivation again!! So, as of Monday I: stopped drinking pop, increased water, am eating low carb & high protein, taking konjac fiber, and have lost 3 lbs in 2 days! Now it’s time to add on my workouts (sadly….I haven’t done ANYTHING in at least 6 months) any suggestions for a good jump start routine? Any other suggestions in general??

Kim,

I ran across your video while researching green bean extract and Garcinia Cambogia. I wanted you opinion on if you think I should take both of those or choose one? I want to lose about 30 pounds and will be exercising with it.

Thanks,

Kristen

  Hi, Janice! No, you can actually take them together 30 minutes before your meal…an hour is a bit too long. And remember to drink a big glass of water:)

Hi Kim,
I am from Australia and I just purchased Garcinia Cambogia 1300* off a legitimate deal website.
The company says it’s made in the USA. However it does not have black pepper as you spoke about in your video. I really hope it the real deal. Can you please check it out? The site is: http://www.completenutra.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=20_26
( the website has all the supplement facts ; beside the other ingredient is Gelatin) and its 60% HCA.
I did not pay that much as I got it from a deals website. I have not felt much of a difference.
I actually feel the urge to eat more and I feel more bloated then normal  I have only used it 4 times, however my husband used it the same time and he said he can feel it working (his waist line thinning) When do u take the tablets? There are no instructions on the bottle!
Hope you have time to check it out and to get back to me. Thank you

Kind Regards
Juls

  Unfortunately that does not sound like a reputable company. It is optimal 30 minutes before meals with a big glass of water. I would try Genesis Today or Pure Health. Good luck!

Kim,
Have you ever heard of a supplement called Healthe Trim (thermo-energy booster)? It says it contains Resveratrol. I don’t know what that is. On the back it says Chromium 200mcg, 166%. I live in Atlanta and there’s a morning program that repeats an “informational” segment, basicly it’s advertisement for the product. But, I was curious what you thought. They claim you can get High School Skinny.

I saw your videos on Garcinia Cambogia and Green Coffe Bean. Do you think you can take both together? I really enjoy your videos and tips. Thanks!
Monica

  Hi, Monica. Well, I’m not sure if I’ve heard about Healthe Trim. Yes, you can definitely take Garcinia and Green coffee bean together. I actually recommend it!
