Unhealthy ‘Health Foods’
by Dr. John Berardi Products that claim to be ‘Cholesterol Free’ and ‘Low in Saturated Fat’ often have the most trans-fatty acids. Unfortunately these are the products that most of the public thinks are ‘healthy.’ Remember, trans fats have absolutely no place in the diet! They’re the only type of fat highly associated with very negative health outcomes.

ForestFit September
29.08.08Open for registrations, but only 6 places remain for the 7am group. This will probably be the last 7am group we run purely outside this year due to lack of light early morning. Get your place now at ForestFit.com
We also have our 09:30 group running again starting the 15th September. Register over at ForestFit.com
This one has been prompted by one of the most commonly asked queries about joining both ForestFit and JessBoxing!
I can’t come to XXXXXX, I am not fit enough!
I totally understand why it comes up. I appreciate there is a level of apprehension with joining a group training program when you think you are not going to be able to keep up, complete all the moves, do all the exercises etc… no one wants to be left behind, or stand out and be the one struggling the most.
I suppose it is like a mirror, we always think that someone else looks slimmer, stronger, fitter, faster than ourselves. We hate testing our theory out as well, for fear of being right!!
The problem is unless you actually test out your theory you’ll never find out that you are actually WRONG. I generally find that most people massively underestimate their physical abilities.
You have a choice right now, you can continue to fear the unknown and get more worked up by your worsening physique and physical condition, OR, you can get off your butt and prove yourself wrong. No brainer really!

Nutritional Tip Skip The Cheat Meal
16.08.08 Skip the Cheat Meal, Fatty
by Dr. John Berardi Cheat meal frequency should be minimized when you’re over 15-20% body fat. Basically, the fatter you are, the more likely that any excess food will be shuttled toward body-fat storage rather than muscle mass. So skip the cheat meal unless you’re lean. And even then, think of it as an alternative food meal - not a cheat. Cheat meals are usually glorified forms of dietary debauchery. Alternative food meals allow for something a little different from the norm without the trough.

Nutritional Tip Why Choose Oats
02.08.08 Why Choose Oats
by Dr. John Berardi If you’re looking to gain mass and have a good carbohydrate tolerance, place a bowl of fiber-rich, low-GI rolled oats along with ½ scoop of vanilla protein powder, frozen mixed berries, pineapple and a small quantity of mixed nuts right next to your omelet. This is a muscle building breakfast that’s hard to beat. I place this bowl right next to my omelet for a breakfast that’s hard to beat.
However, if you tend to hold a lot of body fat, just stick with protein, good fats, and veggies for breakfast. Save the non-fruit and veggie carbs till after exercise only - yes, even oatmeal.
