How do you BOOST a slow metabolism?
I've heard the question asked several times over the years "How do I boost my metabolism?" Or someone would say to me that they think their thyroid is slow... How does a person get their metabolism... A Clean Slate Today, at the very beginning of a brand new decade, is the perfect day to give yourself a clean slate…by cleaning out your kitchen. Take a look through your pantry, fridge, freezer and cupboards. Chances are high that you’ll find unhealthy packaged foods that are not in line with your healthy eating goals. Get rid of it all!
Give yourself an advantage by starting 2025 with a wholesome kitchen that’s free from temptations and pitfalls. Wait, read before making new year’s resolutions Happy New Year! Before you move forward to set new resolutions for 2025, let’s take a moment to look back and reflect on your results in 2024.
Did you accomplish your goals this past year? (YES or NO)
If “NO” then answer these 5 Questions for insight into your failure.
1️. Were your goals clearly written down and reviewed regularly?
If you’re ambiguous about what you are setting off to achieve then it will never culminate in anything concrete. By writing down your goals in specific, clear terms and reviewing them regularly, you’ll be on track to achieve huge things in 2025.
2. Did you use the SMART System for defining your goals?
SMART Is an acronym for setting achievable goals. It stands for SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, REALISTIC and TIME BOUND. Don’t skip over this step – setting SMART goals is the difference between achieving your dreams and having yet another year slide by without any measurable results to show for it. Use the SMART filter for setting goals — and REFLECT on and REVIEW your RESULTS with regularity.
3️. Did your goals align with your values?
If your goal was to lose weight and to finally achieve a lean, fit, healthy body then why did you continue to glorify greasy, unhealthy food? Why did you look at exercise as a punishment to be avoided? Your value system must line up with your goals. In fitness this means having a positive attitude about exercise and healthy eating.
4️. Did you create accountability around your goals?
Who did you tell about your goal to finally lose the weight and get fit? If you kept it to yourself then you missed out on a huge opportunity for accountability and support. This support is what you lean on through the tough times when jumping off the wagon seems like the only option.
Take a moment to reflect on the answers to these questions above BEFORE answering the next question.
5️. What was the root cause of your failure?
I don’t know what your specific root cause of failure was, only you do, but I can tell you confidently that if you join my program in 2025 you will blow past your failure to achieve the success that has always alluded you.
You get one shot — one life — so what are you waiting for?
It’s time to expand, grow, seek, achieve.
Feel the fire — fall down, get up, shake it off and get back in the game.
2025 has the potential of being the best year yet... but it starts right now.

Bake slowly, flip halfway. Bake until firm. Enjoy! The Problem with Your Diet For more than 20 years the media has bombarded us with a perpetual diet craze. An avalanche of fad diets are announced one after another as breaking news while producing zero true results.
Sure, you may lose 5, 10 or even 20 pounds on a fad diet...but you’ll gain it all back and then some. How can I be so confident that your results will be short lived? It’s actually a simple concept, and once you understand it you will be forever saved from the tortures of yo-yo dieting.
Fad diets saddle you with unreasonable calorie restrictions and some even cut out entire food groups just to produce that short lived drop in weight-a process that is actually harmful to your health. The fad diets also ignore one major component to shaping up: exercise.
You see, most fad diets operate on one age old premise: cut calories, cut calories, cut calories. By restricting the type and amount of food consumed the fad dieter usually sees an immediate drop in weight. If only it stopped there... But it doesn’t stop there. Life continues, and the fad dieter returns to their pre-diet eating habits-with one major difference in their body due to the sudden drop in pounds. Their calorie requirements have gotten smaller.
In practical terms this means that the dieter will begin gaining weight even though they are eating their normal pre-diet portions. And since exercise hasn’t become a part of their routine, the unneeded calories will result in pounds gained. So what’s a dieter to do? Find a brand new diet to follow-right? Wrong.
There is a way to drop pounds and firm your body, but you won’t read about it in the next diet book or hear it on the news. The solution to your fad dieting nightmare is a lifestyle change.
What is a lifestyle change? To change your lifestyle means to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones, and to do so consistently. It isn’t something you do for a week or two, only to revert back your old ways-a lifestyle change redefines who you are. I know this is starting to sound like some heavy stuff, but hear me out. Changing your lifestyle from one that is unhealthy to one that is healthy will be the best thing that you ever do for yourself. Trust me, I help people like you make this change every day with amazing results.
Fact: The shape of your body is the direct result of your current lifestyle.
So how do I change my lifestyle? That is a great question, and the answer is actually easier than you might think.
Most people who are unhappy with their bodies are really only holding on to a few bad habits. Once these destructive habits are identified and then replaced with healthy habits their body naturally transforms from one that they loathe to one that they are proud of.
In other words, to get the body that you want simply determine your unhealthy habits and replace them with healthy ones. Here are the most prevalent unhealthy habits:
- The habit of inactivity. Failing to exercise on a consistent basis is one of the most destructive obstacles for your health and figure. (The key word here is consistent. If you aren’t exercising at least 3-4 times each week then you own this habit.)
- The habit of overeating. Consuming calories in excess of your daily caloric needs is one of the main reasons that more adults are overweight today than ever before.
- The habit of empty calories. Filling your diet with foods that hold little to no nutritional value is a great way to expand your waist. (Hint: if a food item is made up of mainly sugar and/or fat consider it ’empty’ calories.)
You can lose weight and improve both your appearance and your health.
You can look and feel great.
You can transform yourself into the person that you’ve always wanted to be.
Don’t let another day go by that leaves you a slave to unhealthy habits. Take action now. Call or email me today and together we will recreate your lifestyle and redefine your body.
By the way, I should mention another deadly habit that destroys too many people’s dreams. The habit of procrastination.
How many times have you told yourself that you will start eating healthy tomorrow? How many times have you promised that you would call me to start your personal training program? Each day that you succumb to the habit of procrastination is a day that pulls you farther and farther from your goals.

Kel Silas CPT MHT NS EXtreme Personal Fitnes
Hi there fit buddy. My name is Kel Silas. Yes that is really me featured in the pictures below to the far right. In the pictures below I worked hard to gain 10 pounds of lean muscle and lose 8 pounds of unwanted body fat in 12 weeks. When you gain muscle and lose body fat simultaneously the results are DRAMATIC and INCREDIBLE! #EXtremeFatLoss
When I lost all of that body fat I had a weight loss strategy designed for Hollywood movie stars. Without this strategy I would have just been spinning my wheels for months and years without much success. Funny (true story) I told some of my secrets back then to a friend who got featured in the legendary magazine Muscle and Fitness.
You need a weight loss strategy! Having a weight loss strategy could prevent someone becoming depressed because of their weight. Having a weight loss strategy can help eliminate all of the pain and frustration of you not knowing what to do and trying to figure out what to do to lose weight, burn fat and get in shape! You can avoid making mistakes that cause you losing valuable time and energy. It can help overcome the fears of failing by showing them proven strategies and roadmaps to achieve success.

Fiesta Skillet 
Here’s one seriously nutritious south-of-the-border skillet dinner that families can’t get enough of! Most Mexican dinners contain generous portions of grains and dairy, so I’ve lightened this one up by taking out traditional rice and replacing cheese topping with fresh avocado and pico de gallo. It’s mildly spicy and very satisfying!
Leftovers from this recipe are simply wonderful as a packed meal the next day. Chop one of the leftover chicken breasts and enjoy it with a handful of fresh arugula and a spoonful of the bean mixture.
When healthy eating tastes THIS good it’s hard to stop. And why would you want to?!

Couples who sweat together stay together!
According to Psychology Today's 2014 article "5 Reasons Why Couples Who Sweat Together Stay Together", lab studies have shown and proved that couples who are working out, exercising and taking part in activities together reported increased feelings of overall relationship satisfaction, closeness and connection, and even feeling more in love with their partner. They say that a family that prays together stays together and apparently the same exact thing holds true for exercise and fitness. Couples don't always have or share the same exact fitness goals but regular exercise time together can help to build a better bond and connection, reduce stress and tension in a relationship or marriage, provide motivation and accountability plus emotional support. This can also be a great time to have open discussions with each other and even discuss cooking options and other strategies to improve your health. Couples can also increase relationship happiness, help each other achieve goals faster, improve exercise efficiency, and even make your partner fall more in love with you. The link to the article written by Dr. Theresa DiDonato Ph.D. is below. 5 Reasons Why Couples Who Sweat Together, Stay Together
