Weight-Loss Tips & Nutrition Teachings from Ellen's Vegan Trainer, John Pierre

John Pierre is an amazing guy and a vegan personal trainer to the stars! (seriously! you wouldn't believe his star-studded client list!)

JP & I met through mutual friends and I cherish our friendship. Put simply, he inspires me to be my best self! Just being around him is crazy motivating! He gives off the best energy. (If I could bottle it, we'd be millionaires and the world would be full of smiles) Now I just like a groupie ;)

Anyway! JP has a book titled Pillars of Health that debuted last week! (I highly recommend checking it out!)

JP also has some great tips and insights on his Facebook page that I'm sharing today.

JP wrote, "I am getting many questions about how my clients have lost over 100 lbs. The funny thing is, no one ever asks how they became healthier or got off handfuls of medication.

Weight loss is meaningless if done in an unhealthy manner.

When you can lose body fat and also become happier and healthier at the same time, then you have something.

There is no magic pill or potion.

You need to live an active life, eat a low fat vegan/raw based diet and don't fret about your weight. Focus more on greens than grains. Some fruit, especially grapefruit and berries. Get rid of all oils and use some avocado and a few nuts per day. Olive oil is not a health food, like sugar it is processed. Eat olives. Almonds are great if chewed to a cream consistency. Eat nuts in very small amounts. Drink green juice and pure water. Move your body all the time!

And most importantly learn to love yourself for who you really are inside."
