Measuring Calories

I have a question that I hope will stimulate good conversation. I have been doing a self study course in Fitness Nutrition. The subject I was reading today was about energy balance....or basically…

Get Ripped Classes

Hi Jari, I was wondering if you had ever considered offering a certification to teach your "Ripped" series/classes? I know in my local area, the only known classes offered are mostly cardio, bootc…

Toning Quadriceps

Jari, What are your best suggestions for toning your quads? I have noticed in the videos where you wear shorts (I believe Get Ripped and Chiseled) that your quadriceps are very toned and muscular. I…

Did you do that with Jari for your weight workouts? You look great!
Hi Brandy,
You mentioned you get hungry after breakfast. I add a heaping spoonful of ground flax seed to my cereal each morning. I eat a bowl of Post's shredded wheat and bran and I sprinkle a bunch of cinammon on it to jazz up the taste. I will usu…
Hi Heather,
I absolutely feel your pain! I feel like you just read my mind and put in on this forum. I don't know if you've read any of my discussions..but my sister and I have this same problem. We don't really have much to lose...but we really wa…
Thanks Jari! I do love veggies....I need to try them as snacks. I usually eat them at meals but not snacks...so I will try that. Thanks again!
Brandy,
Thank you so much for all the tips you have given. What keeps you motivated to eating right? Have you ever been overweight? If you don't mind, could you tell us your height and weight? I would love to get an idea of what someone that looks…
That sounds great! Thanks for the information and good luck with the projects.

Hello everyone!
This has been a great discussion. That's what I was hoping for when I started it. It is fascinating to me to see how differently everyone approaches eating and maintaining weight. It really shows me that we all have different approa…
I feel like food is for our pleasure as well as nurishment. So I do try to eat healthy most of the time but when I do want to eat a hot fudge sundae or a cookie I don't want to know how many calories are in there, because it would ruin the experienc…
I've always had luck when I counted calories and stuck to a set number. Unfortunately I haven't had the dicipline for a long time and my body shows it! If you do decide calorie counting is the way to go make sure you count EVERYTHING that you put in…
Ladies,
I also do not count calories but agree that there is a lot of confusion out there about calories and what counts and what doesnt and how to count it etc... I find it VERY frustrating because when trying to lose weight it is difficult enough…
I don't calorie count for pretty the same reason as everybody else. I listen to my body, I don't starve myself if I am hungry. I have started to portion control which is much easier to do as I recognise if i overeat i will not reach my goals. I eat…

I made a typing error. The last sentence I meant to say NOT cause me to get off track. Also, do you ever get tempted to over eat. What do you do to keep yourself in line?

- Brandy,
I know I have asked you this before, but could you clarify to me once again how you handle eating at social events. I am letting this one issue stop me from doing what I need to do. I'll start eating healthy, love it, and then something will come up and get me off track and I have a hard time starting back, even though I love healthy food, I let junk food take over. Do you think planning cheat days into my plan will help or hurt? Do I need to do a 1 plate rule and 1 single dessert. What can I do to not feel deprived but at the same time cause me to get off track?
Thanks for all your help,
Kim

- I would love to know what you do exactly to stay in such great shape! I have a few of the Ripped dvd's but want to know what else you do. How many calories do you eat a day to get results like yours? I eat mostly fruit, veggies and some protein. I'm not a huge fan of meat but I do eat eggs and fish.

Kirsten Lojek said… - Brandy, your body is amazing! You are so ripped - you should be in Jari's next video with your rock hard, chizzled body! WOW! Keep posting pictures. Do you do ripped often?
My exercise schedule sounds much like yours - work out 5 to 6 times a week. I try to incorporate a lot of interval training that mainly consists of jumping rope, running, spin class, ripped, and whatever else that suits my fancy that day! My diet is fairly healthy (for the most part), probably like yours with a lot of real food such as fruits, veggies, lean protein. I do LOVE peanut butter and I too have a sweet tooth. Who can resist desserts, right? I believe that if I'm working out hard enough, a little sugar isn't going to kill me!
Thank-you so much for sharing your experience with Oxygen. Have you thought about becoming a fitness model? You should....or competing in fitness - You'd WIN forsure! What's your diet like? And do you do intervals too? Are you training for anything specific? Is this the best shape you've ever been in, or have you always had a lean, muscular body? I'm so impressed! Oh, and you're absolutely stunning! So nice chatting with you!

- Hi Brandy, you have an amazing body! No wonder you were in Oxygen's future of fitness (I love that magazine!). Did you simply submit your photo and they couldn't resist? Everytime I check out Oxygen's future of fitness, I always think I should apply. Perhaps I will this year. You have a wicked six-pack. Do you do a lot of cardio and watch your diet? What is your secret?
