The END!

I've decided to combine this blog and my other blog into one blog.

Please check it out at www.GuruGilbert.com!

I thank you if you were a regular reader of this blog. It was just too much between having two blogs.

See you there!

New Website Coming Soon!

I am really excited to announce that MyBodyTutor.com will look completely different within the next few months. It is amazing how my little idea of personalized daily accountability has really turned into a real business with amazing potential.

MyBodyTutor is based on the alarming trend that we are all working more than ever, eating out more than ever, and have more distractions than ever.

Did you know that 9% of all USA Today bestsellers are diet books!?! 9%! Yet today the New England Journal of Medicine reports that two years after going on a diet, on average, people weigh more than when they started.

That's pretty scary!

I believe the problem isn't that we don't know what to do. Because we do.

It's just that we don't do it. We can't stay consistent if our lives depended on it. Wait a second. They do!

We have way too many distractions, hours to be worked, friends to be seen, kids to be taken to practice, dinners to be made, etc., etc., and on and on. It really doesn't end.

We are glued to our computers, blackberries and phones. As a society, we are working more than ever. We are also eating out more than ever before.

The problem is that it's just way too easy to make excuses and procrastinate.

That means you need to be extremely focused on what you really want out of your life.

Most people are going to choose hanging out with friends or their family over going to the gym.

Most people will choose ordering a cheeseburger and fries over a grilled chicken sandwich.

Most people will choose to read about being healthy and fit than actually BEING healthy and fit.

I quit my job at Ernst & Young to start my company. This is my dream. Writing this, right now, is exactly what I want to be doing with my life.

Ernst & Young, doesn't get any more corporate. I found myself constantly making excuses about why I wasn't going to the gym like I used to. I constantly rationalized poor eating.

Yes. Missing a workout here and there won't kill you.

But, before you know it, you've missed two straight weeks of exercising!

That's why knowing that each and every workout, each and every meal you eat is a small step towards your overall goal and journey of where you want to be and how you want to live your truly precious life is absolutely essential.

Interviewed by Conde’ Nast and I’m now a published man!

I’m very excited to announce that the article I wrote for Millionaire Blueprints has been published in the July/August issue and is now on sale.

You can pick up a copy at most Borders and Barnes & Nobles.

Recently, I was interviewed by Conde’ Nast. My interview is on their company blog and it might also be featured in Self magazine.

As much as I believe in my program, with every molecule in my body, it’s really rewarding to hear other people say such nice things about my program, for which I thank you!

Check out the Conde’ Nast interview here.

And also check out this great article about my program here.

Thank you so much for all of your continued support!

Isn't it amazing?

Don't you feel amazing being in control of your health and fitness? Don't you feel empowered? And more productive? And happier and more focused and more confident? And on and on and on...

Doesn't it feel amazing to be able to change your body and the way you feel by eating right and exercising?

Isn't life amazing?

Seriously. Drop all the bullshit in your life and just look at the small things that we all take for granted. We are all so lucky!

And I don't care what hardships you've faced. We've all faced hardships. It's what makes us stronger and who we are today.

The past is the past though. It's gone. Are you going to relish in it and remember the good ol' days or become the person you want to be and improve and evolve.

There's no such thing as perfection. It's progress.

Who do you want to be? What do you want to do? How do you want to feel? How do you want to look?

Why can't you become that person?

Look! Before it's too late...

You know your stomach can’t count calories right?
It also can’t count the number of spoonfuls of Golden Grahams cereal you had for breakfast. Or the number of ounces in the overpriced Frappuccino you drank on the way to work. It can’t count the number of french fries you inhaled in the first 90 seconds of your lunch break either.
It doesn’t know how many scoops of the aptly named Chubby Hubby ice cream (a whopping 330 calories per half-cup) you ate standing in the front of the refrigerator when you got home.
Our stomachs just aren’t designed to keep accurate track of how much we have eaten. If we could really see all that we’re putting in our mouths, we’d probably eat a lot less.
Despite the cliché, our eyes are typically not bigger than our stomachs. In fact, our eyes are often better at telling us how much to eat than our bellies. That’s because it takes about 20 minutes after we eat before our stomach starts registering that we’re full.
Next time you decide to have your second or third helping wait 20 minutes and I bet you won't be hungry anymore!
