The #1 Reason You Aren’t Seeing Results

Seeing amazing before and after photos is always incredibly rewarding. But what about when that just isn’t happening for you? Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right and not seeing results? You’re eating healthy meals and exercising but you’re frustrated because you haven’t got that body of your dreams yet. There can be many factors but, if you’re anything like me, there is one main reason you aren’t seeing the results you want.

Don’t we all wish we could just snap our fingers and get whatever we wanted! I know there are days when I feel that way. But the truth of the matter is: there is a culprit for your lack of results. A few healthy salads and crunches here and there aren’t going to give you those six pack abs, now are they? Consistency is key my friends. Lack of consistency is THE #1 reason you aren’t seeing the results you want.

Keeping consistent will help you cultivate life-long habits that stick and help you to see the progress you are dying to see. Focus on the small choices each and every day, as those are the ones that will add up to becoming the big changes that you want to see in life. If you only exercise ever so often and eat healthy occasionally, don’t be naïve enough to think that’s going to give you a rockin’ bod. Unless you are one of those people who were born to effortlessly look like a fitness model, you are going to have to put in consistent effort to see a serious change. {Side note, even models have to work pretty hard to maintain a good body! So really, no one gets off Scott free!}

I am asked all the time why people don’t see results even though they are eating well and exercising. And even for myself, I sometimes wonder why I don’t have the tone in my arms that I’m hoping for, or a little more definition in my booty. The pure and simple reason falls into that we haven’t been doing that certain thing for long enough. We all want immediate results and I’m here to say that the only way you will see results you want whether it’s weight loss, weight gain, increased strength, or better health is to continue with the healthy habits that you know will get you there.

Hope this helps get your motivation up a little bit as I know you all can do it! You are only one more workout away from feeling great and one healthy meal from getting on track with consistency.

Lots of love,

Nikki

How to Lose Weight

 

Want to lose weight, and lose it fast? I know I’ve thought about getting results ASAP! That’s just the society we live in today, isn’t it? A society of instant gratification. The fastest technology, the fastest communication and we can’t forget, fast food. Whatever we want, we want it now. Fitness results are no exception to that. So once we have decided we want to lose weight, we want to know the secret to losing it fast, right?

Well lovebugs, the truth is there is no quick overnight way to see all the result you want. One personal training session at the gym isn’t going to give you abs and a few salads here and there aren’t going to drop the extra pounds. Losing weight is all about balance and consistency.

Honestly, weight loss is kind of like having a budget, only were talking calories and not dollars. I hate budgeting my money… But if you listen to your body, your hunger and your energy levels, its a bit easier to balance your calorie budget. However, if you’re trying to LOSE weight, you need a calorie deficit, not a balance. You need your calorie output (the amount of energy you are using up naturally and with exercise) to be greater than your calorie input (all those tasty dishes you are eating). But like I said, I hate budgeting – I believe there are better solutions than counting up all those calories in and out. Focus on making healthy eating choices that just satisfy your hunger and work out enough to push yourself, without going overboard. Here are a few of my favorite weight-loss tips.

How to lose weight

Don’t expect anything to happen overnight. When we put unrealistic time frames on our goals we can get discouraged easily when we don’t achieve them. Focus your goals on becoming healthier and happier with your body and the results will come.
Stay positive. If you believe you can do it, you will! Don’t compare your body and your journey to anyone else’s. You are beautiful the way you are now and you will be beautiful at every step along your journey. Don’t focus on negative feelings you have about your body now or you will be dissatisfied when things don’t change as quickly as you had hoped. Focus on what you will gain when you lose.
If you aren’t following a set program, try writing down what you eat. Seeing the choices and portions on paper will help you to realize the positive changes you are making to your diet. If you aren’t seeing results, this food log will also help you to evaluate where you may need to make additional improvements.
Focus on water. Water is truly an amazing thing. Not only does our body need it to survive, but it can be so helpful when we are on our weight-loss journey. Merely changing over everything you drink to water can make you shed a LOT of weight if you consume several fruit juices and soda beverages in your current diet. Even if you are a healthy drinker to start, increasing your water intake can help you to feel less hungry and less drained by your workouts. Don’t like the H2O? Give my tasty detox waters a try.
Before you reach for a snack, ask yourself “Am I actually hungry?” Weight loss can be really hard to kickstart if we are eating out of boredom, habit, stress, or emotions. Really try to listen to your body and eat to fuel it. Don’t multi-task while you eat. You are likely to consume more food and you are less likely to register when you are full. Don’t graze in front of the fridge either. Make your plate of appropriate portions, sit down, and enjoy your meal. If you are trying to kick the habit of continually snacking post meal- try brushing your teeth immediately after. The minty feeling signals to your body that meal time is over.
Make your goal to have an active lifestyle instead of just hitting the gym up once a day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Get up and walk for 5 minutes for every 2 hours you sit at a desk. Make family time or social outings active; switching out a trip to the movies for a hike once in a while can make a big difference in your mindset.
Get enough rest. Sleep is your body’s chance to use your fat cells to fuel your body. Going to bed early will make you less likely to hit the fridge up one last time before bed. Being sleep deprived is linked to extra sugar cravings throughout the day because your body wants that energy boost. You are then more likely to crash and have less energy to exercise. If you aren’t getting enough zzz’s your metabolism isn’t going to be functioning at its best either. Do you body a favor and make a full night’s sleep a part of your healthy lifestyle.

In the end, just remember that your body is going to need a little time, a bit of hard work and a balanced lifestyle to shed the unwanted pounds. You can do it, and it will make you feel amazing – inside and out! Comment below and let me know where you are in your journey. What motivates you and what are some of your favorite weight loss tips??

Enjoy the journey my loves,

How Long Should I Plan to Workout?

Any fitness professional has heard this question a million times, myself included. And there are a ton of different credible answers floating around the fitness world. The truth is: there is no right answer. This is so dependent on your current fitness levels, your goals, and your workout pace. So if you come to me and say: How long should I plan to workout? I will come back and say, do what you can. Let me explain…

Unless your daily schedule has a very set: I can only workout for X amount of minutes, it truly does not matter how long your workout plan is. When it comes to exercising it is often a matter on quality, not quantity, and it is always a matter on what is best for your individual body and lifestyle. If you have an incredibly busy day and can only fit in 10 minutes of exercise, you bust out the best and hardest work you can in those 10 minutes and your body will still benefit much more than if you had spent that 10 minutes complaining that you didn’t have time to fit in your 45 minute exercise regime. If you have the day off and want to go spend an hour and a half at the gym doing a little bit of everything, that’s A-OK too.

The most important factor here is consistency and balance. If you follow the Gwenyth Paltrow regime of working out two hours six days a week, you might get burnt out or not even see the results you want. That’s because you can easily over train your body, which can have the opposite effect. Your body needs rest in order to recover and build muscle and prevent fatigue. That also goes to say that if you bust your butt in the gym for 30 minutes doing HIIT for one day, you won’t see that big of a change, and that’s because consistency is uber important.

One reason I don’t like to nail down a set length of “working out” is there can be a lot of ambiguity with this. Are you counting from the moment you enter the gym, until the minute you leave? Are you only counting your literal time spent on the treadmill? Or are you lifting weights and counting your rest time between sets, or leaving it out?

People workout at different paces, doing different types of workouts, with different goals. Some people like to stretch for 25 minutes at the end of their workout. If I tell them to workout for 30 minutes a day, I certainly am not saying they shouldn’t exceed 5 minutes of cardio before they start their stretch routine.

 

The best advice I can give is to make sure your workout plan is tailored to your specific needs and goals and that you are working up a sweat and pushing yourself, without overdoing it. I always say, sweat your butt off, push yourself further than you feel comfortable with, and just keep going. The set time is less important. The key here is consistency!

If you are the person who likes to meet up with their girlfriends at the gym, catch up on the latest gossip, answer email and texts while you’re on the elliptical, take the time to pick out the perfect song on your iPod before you start each new exercise, and spot your friends between sets; you definitely need to plan on a MUCH longer workout than someone who likes to get in, work hardcore, and get out. While I must caution against this type of workout becoming a regular habit – are you really getting in a full workout or are you preventing yourself from really getting the full results you desire? – If you have the time in your schedule to allow for an extra long gym session that includes both a full workout AND plenty of play time at the gym as well, then more power to you and do what works best for you!

That being said, some people just REALLY want a number. And while I still believe the best workouts are individualized, there are general guidelines that can help you structure your workouts.

The basic guidelines that everyone should aim to meet is:

Aerobic Activity:

At least 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity exercise (30 minutes 5x/wk) OR at least 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week (25 minutes 3x/wk)

AND

Strength Training:

Do strength training exercises AT LEAST two to three times a week

If your goal is to lose weight: In addition to your focus on eating healthy – up the cardio to 300 minutes of moderate or vigorous activity per week. If your goal is tone up: Leave the aerobic activity at the basic guidelines but up strength training. Try to hit each major muscle group twice a week, but don’t forget to give yourself a rest day each week to recover.

Just try not to pigeonhole yourself into 1 type/duration of workout. Add variety and find what is best for YOU. If you are meeting the basic requirement and seeing results – you are on the right track no matter what your numbers say. Comment below and let me know what workout routine works best for you!

Love,

Nikki

#BTS of my private book launch party

As you all know, I just released my first ever book:  The 5-Day Real Food Detox! This has been one of the most time consuming, yet rewarding experiences of my life. I mean, it has been a two year process after all. So as a little celebration to myself for getting this done, I decided to have an exclusive private book launch party a few days before the book hit shelves.

I chose to do the party with my closest here in Los Angeles and at my friend’s restaurant, Plant Food and Wine. They totally hooked me up with the entire backyard garden, which has a mediterranean feel to it. I decided to do a menu based on the AfterTox of the detox (otherwise known as The Sharp Lifetime Diet), where I made raw vegan cheesecakes, peanut butter cups, and the sushi from the 5 day plan. Plant Food and Wine provided a bunch of drinks and some incredible appetizers that were passed around by servers.

The event really was just a big celebration of a milestone that I have done and a reason to give out a few books and see my friends! I sincerely wish I could have had each and every one of my followers there as well, since you are all the reason I am where I am today!

Since I couldn’t have you all there personally, here’s a few little behind the scenes snippets, or better yet a little “taste” of what it was like.

Tons of love, Nikki

PS- if you haven’t had a chance to check out the book, watch the trailer here. I promise you will love this book as it’s everything I’ve learned about health over the past few years.

Meal Prep Hacks: 5 Tips You Need To Know

As you all know by now, I am a big supporter of prepping your meals to save you time during your busiest days. You may have noticed this busy girl trick has found itself in the spotlight as the latest “trend” the media is promoting. But how do we really make the most out of our prep time? How do we stay efficient, healthy, and gain more than just a nice picture for Instagram? Let’s go beyond the Meal Prep Craze and look at ways to make this time saving trick a life saver for a healthy eater on the go. Read further to learn my meal prep hacks: 5 tips you need to know!

Don’t get overwhelmed! If you are new to meal prepping (or even if you are a seasoned veteran), it can sometimes seem like a daunting task to plan out and prepare at once for all three meals a day for a whole week. Last week, I was featured in Daily Mail UK as one of the “meal queens” of Instagram alongside numerous photos of prepped and planned meals.

I love the publicity the healthy eating trick is getting, but I never want anyone to feel overwhelmed by those highly organized preps! Don’t be afraid to start small. One or two recipes for just 2-3 days can make a huge difference in saving you time for the week. Sticking to recipes you have made before can also cut down on your prep time significantly. That way you are a pro to the prep and don’t have to worry about any unforeseen surprises.

Look realistically at your week. Choose which meals would make the biggest difference and pass over the meals where you might not eat what you have prepared. If you know you will have a luncheon on Tuesday where you would rather eat the provided food, skip that prep so no food goes to waste. If you know you are always running out the door without time for a healthy breakfast, make that your focus. One pointer you will read about in my book, The 5 Day Real Food Detox, is that you can save even more time in the mornings by pre-portioning out baggies full of smoothie ingredients in a Ziploc baggy and popping them in the freezer. All that’s left for your morning is dropping the contents and water in the blender and pouring the healthy goodness into a to-go cup if you need to hit the road! Focus on little tips like this to make your life a little easier.

{sneak peek of one of the photos from my book!}

Don’t forget about your snacks! Often, even veteran meal preppers will overlook prepping their snacks. Most grab-and-go snacks you can buy in stores are some of the unhealthiest options for your body. These snacks are often packaged, processed food-like-products that will make you feel less hungry for a short time but do not provide proper nutrients and put a ton of harsh chemicals into your body. Portioning out your healthy snacks ahead of time will prevent you from mindlessly overeating or grabbing a quick option that your body will regret later. I love taking my  hummus from the Detox and portioning it out in 5 containers and veggie sticks into small baggies so that each day I can just grab and go.

Have a variety of containers for your meal prep. If you will be traveling with your meals, even just to work, you want to make sure you have quality, leak-proof and air-tight containers so you don’t end up with a mess. Don’t forget about those small containers too; they are perfect for both your snacks and your salad dressing. No one wants that beautiful, delicious salad you prepared to get soggy with dressing! If you are making your dressing from scratch, save yourself some serious time and aggravation by making one batch and dividing it into small containers to add to your salad when you’re ready to chow down. Those snack size Ziploc bags will also help you to measure out the perfect, ready-to-eat portions of your seeds, nuts, and other snacks.
Don’t let yourself get bored! Yes, it definitely saves time to prepare 3 of the exact same dishes as you prep. That doesn’t mean they have to taste the same! Try mixing up the seasoning blends and spices you have on each dish to create a unique flavor. Get creative here! There are so many healthy herbs and spices that can perk up your taste buds and help you to reduce your salt intake as well.

Now you’re ready to get out there and conquer the meal prep. The bottom line is that there is no wrong way to do it! Planning ahead is sure to save you time and help you stay on track towards a healthier happier you! Check out the video below of one of my meal preps from Business Insider and Insider Foods and let me know what you think! Don’t forget to preorder my book to get more great tips and delicious recipes to prep for the Detox and a healthy lifestyle.

Xoxo Nikki

What I Learned From Watching Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle Live

I’ve been pretty much obsessed with anything and everything Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle say. I watch their videos, read their books and use their quotes when I post a photo on Instagram. I think these two men are incredible powerhouses and have changed the world as we know it to create a more positive and loving place to live. I recently was invited to watch them speak live in Los Angeles and I am pretty happy to say that I was kind of jumping for joy at this opportunity. The afternoon began with a pre-event in Venice, hosted by Michael Trainer, the founder of Peak Mind, which was filled with meditation, amazing company, food and live music. We then all went to the Shrine Auditorium where the event was led by Gabby Bernstein and listened to the two men share their wisdom. These two have influenced much of how I think and so it was an honor to be invited. Here is what I learned from watching Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle live talking about consciousness.

Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment ~Deepak Chopra

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present ~Eckhart Tolle

Events like these are filled with love and compassion. Having been to many events, I can say that not everyone is friendly if you bump into them or cut in line. Going to a talk by these two men, all attendees were peaceful, calm and no one had any issue with anything. This is really how the world should be and it’s beautiful to see that it’s starting to spread.
You will not understand everything they say. These two men are incredibly smart and sometimes their concepts went a bit beyond what ‘normal’ people can comprehend, but that will not stop you from being completely entranced.
With great people come great ideas and great events. The most amazing thing about this event was that it was not just one person who put it together; it was the minds of many who made everything happen. It goes to show that together we can accomplish amazing things! We too often focus on ourselves, our own lives, and think that our own struggles are more important than anyone else. When you remove the ego and understand that together we can change the world, events like this happen.
Their teachings go beyond any specific age, demographic or gender. There were 6,000 people in the Shrine Auditorium watching Deepak and Eckhart speak and you can image  how many differences this brought. It was a beautiful thing to see how loving everyone was towards each other, especially in a time when we have political candidates trying to divide our country.
Consciousness is as simple as your dog loving you. While some of the concepts they discussed were a little hard to understand, Deepak gave one example that was so clear and really hit me. A dog is in the now; he does not think about what happened last week when you didn’t give him a treat and he’s not worrying about next year when you might go on vacation. He is here now, to be loved and give love. That is how simple consciousness truly is! We don’t need to fret over having a bad childhood, our boss getting mad yesterday, or stress that we might not be able to afford our dream car in two years. All we need to do is be present right here, right now. That is what life truly is about and no amount stress, worry, or over analyzing or events will change it.

 

There are so many more take aways from this event and I wish that I could go on and on for this post. It truly was a magical event to be able to attend. Not only because I was listening to the individuals who have affected my life in such positive ways, but because I was able to experience what our world might be like one day. There was so much love, compassion, peace and understanding at this event. It was truly beautiful to meet every person that I did, have incredible conversations, and be able to experience what people joining together can do. Oh yea that coupled with I actually got to MEET Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle… my year has been made!

Thanks again to Michael Trainer, Peak Mind, and photographer Jacqueline M. Koh for creating and capturing this amazing event.

What do you think of these two? Are you a fan of what they say?

Tons of love,

Nikki

Why You NEED The Detox Book!

My book comes out in 5 weeks and I literally couldn’t be MORE flipping excited. I mean, I have a book. A real, physical book that will be on shelves in places from Barnes & Noble to Walmart- like what?! This is insane!

Through all of my own writing and planning on getting it released with my publisher, I haven’t been keeping you in the loop as much as I should and so naturally, many of you didn’t even realize that I had a book coming out! (How the heck did I not share this like 50x over the past few months?!) Anyways, the main question that I keep getting why you all should buy this so I wanted to touch base on the e-book, app & book difference and why you need the detox book!

Sneak preview of the book! 

Why should you buy the book if you already own the app or e-book?

If you don’t want to read further, then just take a minute to watch this video as it explains everything pretty darn well. I will go into further detail below with some exclusive content from the book that you can ONLY see here!

The biggest differences between all three:

THE EBOOK: this was 30 pages and had a little bit of information regarding the foods you incorporate as well as a bit of info on the ones you cut out. There was some guidance on following the plan, but not a lot. You all had a LOT of questions when you read the ebook.
THE APP: this recently came out in November and went to #1 in 6 countries. Why? Because it’s an awesome app that walks you through the detox and has male/female sections. This is definitely and upgrade from the ebook and is a great supplemental tool to the book. The app has the meal plan and a bit of information, but it doesn’t give you the full run down on exercise, what to do after the detox is done, or anything related to mental well being and keeping the weight off. I think that once you have the book and decide to do the Detox, the app is the perfect thing to help keep you on track. But should you buy this and not the book? I don’t think so. 
THE BOOK: when I decided to turn the Detox into a book, I asked YOU what you wanted to know about nutrition and health. Your questions ranged from the best kitchen equipment to buy and how much to spend, to what to do if you cheated while on the Detox and if what sort of exercise you need to do. You also wanted to know what to do after the Detox was over to maintain results. There were hundreds of questions you all wanted answered and I turned all of these into the content of this book. The biggest difference between this and the ebook/app is that it really is like a little bible to health and how to finally stop yo-yo dieting. It includes SO much information that I cannot even tell you in just one blog post. If you’ve ever had a question about nutrition, how to lose weight, what is holding you back, how to get rid of insomnia (and so much more) it is answered in this book! The ebook and app do not go into any of this content.



What you will see in this book:

My bio and story to help inspire and motivate you to finally get started on your own journey!
Information on cravings, what they mean and how to get over them.
Chemicals in your food and the environment and the ones to avoid immediately.
How to read labels so you finally understand what they say.
Pre-tox: this guides you into how to get started, provides the updated shopping list, helps explain when to find a good time to do the detox, easing into the cleanse, foods we cut out and ones we add in- a lot of detail here, cleaning out your kitchen, prepping all your food, importance of your before and afters instead of the scale, and how to get the right mindset.
De-tox: all your recipes you need for the 5 days, which include brand new, never-before-seen recipes! What to do when you wake up, explanations on all of your meals, when it’s best to eat them, the importance of not skipping meals, your calendar, explanations of superfood powders, what symptoms you might see and how to deal with them, and what to do if you ‘cheat.’
Guy-Tox: this chapter is dedicated for men! It’s hard facts and scientific proof that shows you WHY you need to detox and why you’ll see better results doing this than if you do a paleo diet or eat a lot of protein. It teaches you how you’ll build more muscle from eating the foods on the detox, why you’ll have better sex (!), and other health benefits for my lovely male followers.
After-tox: so you’ve done the detox and saw great results, now what? Unlike other cleanses this book will teach you exactly what to do (it’s not hard either!) to maintain those amazing results and how to eat for life, in order to keep that beautiful you now have.
60 full color beautiful photos to guide you through all the recipes, before and after photos of both males and females, and inspirational photos of myself.
An easy read! You will probably love this book so much that you’ll get through 288 pages without wanting to put it down.
