By on January 4, 2012 in News, Nutrition

Ok, hopefully you had an awesome Christmas and New Year but now it is time to get down to business! It is time to focus/re-focus on health and fitness.

For many this may include losing some weight so I am putting together a 90 (12 week) challenge for new members as well as current ones. I have named it, “Lose 201 in 12 in 2012.” If losing some weight is the goal then here is you chance. The aim is to have all participants set a goal to lose 20 pounds over the 12 week time frame. Of course if you lose more that is great!

Ok we are one week into the 6 Week Challenge. Have you been keeping your goal at the forefront of your mind? Are you sticking to your nutrition strategy. If not, just refocus and take this second week by storm! Below are a couple of questions that I have gotten about the program. I hope they help you too. If you have other questions just post them in the comments section and I will answer them right here on the blog.

Q1. What are the best shakes to use that are all natural and won’t cause digestive problems? If you are trying to save time the ready to drink versions of Muscle Milk Lite or Myoplex Advantage are good. You can also get a container of Whey protein and mix your own. I like Pure Protein, they also have good bars. Read more on Wilmington Boot Camp 6 Week Challenge Q and A…

How to Grill Out Healthy in Wilmington.

By on June 16, 2011 in Nutrition, Weight Loss

I don’t know about you but Stephanie and I love grilling out during the Summer!  It takes some time, it is hot but man is it worth it when you are done!

While outdoor cookouts are a great opportunity to relax and visit with friends and family, did you know that the average barbecue meal exceeds 1500 calories? That’s almost an entire day’s worth of calories in one meal! This is mainly because there are desserts, alcohol, chips etc involved. Keep these to a minimum and don’t nibble while you are preparing the meal.

That type of eating will do some serious damage to your waistline over the course of the Summer. I mean, we do a cheat day but 1500 calories at a time is pretty crazy :-)

The good news is that grilling season doesn’t have to be fattening. In fact, with a few small changes to you’re the menu, you can turn Summer into the perfect opportunity for weight loss. Grilling is actually very healthy it is all of the side items that really throw things off. Read more on How to Grill Out Healthy in Wilmington….

Sugar Sugar Everywhere!

By on June 6, 2011 in News, Nutrition
I know I talk a lot about sugar and how you need to watch out for it but I have to say it again, sugar is in everything these days! Some places are more obvious than others but you can find it in just about every packaged food these days. It is disguised under many different names, because let’s face it, if the package said this is crappy and has a lot of sugar in it you might not eat it right?
Anyway, Jolene, one of our great bootcampers, sent me a bunch of pictures and my friend Dustin out in Madison, WI showed me this video. Both of these are great visuals of how our foods are loaded so I will let the video and pictures say the rest. Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Wilmington, What You Don’t Know About Soy Might Really Be Hurting You!

By on February 24, 2011 in News, Nutrition

It hasn’t been that many years ago that soy containing foods were thought to be miracle foods with all kinds of health and cardiovascular benefits. Well, time changes everything and today we know that this just isn’t the case. Unlike the pure soy based foods like tofu etc. utilized in Japan and other places, the processed soy based products here in the U.S. can lead to a bunch of problems. Below is a list of the potential harmful affects of soy. This list comes from the Weston Price Foundation, a non-profit group seeking to….
