CorePlex supplement is a high potency, comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement that provides a strong foundation of basic nutrition. Most of us don’t eat a well-balanced diet, and even if we do, the latest research published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that additional intake of vitamins and minerals might be helpful for optimal health (JAMA 287:3116-26, 2002). CorePlex is superior to other leading brands of multivitamin/mineral products in a number of ways. First, CorePlex contains higher levels of water-soluble vitamins than multivitamins formulated with just 100 percent of the Daily Value. Second, CorePlex features chelated minerals for optimized absorption. Other vitamin-mineral products have simple (ionic) forms of minerals that are not absorbed as well as AdvoCare chelated minerals, which means that more of the minerals in CorePlex are used by your body.

OmegaPlex supplement is the AdvoCare proprietary blend of potent omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3’s are a family of compounds, with two distinct omega 3’s (EPA and DHA) necessary for optimal health. Other omega-3 supplements may have only EPA or DHA, while OmegaPlex has both of these important omega-3’s at high levels and in the right proportions for maximum benefit.

ProBiotic RESTORE supplement features effective amounts of two important, friendly microorganisms (probiotics). Probiotics support healthy digestion, intestinal function and regularity. They also provide support to the immune system.* In addition, ProBiotic RESTORE contains probiotic “superfood” (called fructooligosaccharides) for the greatest support of these friendly organisms. AdvoCare’s ProBiotic RESTORE are also specially processed to retain their maximum potency without refrigeration. Other probiotic supplements may contain lower levels than those found in ProBiotic RESTORE and fail to include the “superfood” that enhances the probiotic benefits.

Coppell Boot Camp and Personal Trainer Tip of the week – Portion Control: Watching Your Portions Can Be a Simple Way to Lose Weight

Video with Get You In Shape Fitness Boot Camp Personal Trainer Julie McCan. Julie teaches at the Coppell Boot Camp in Coppell, TX. Julie teaches about portion control.

There is significant research that points to how the increasing size of portions served in America is an underlying cause of serious weight issues and even obesity. Maintaining an unheathly weight can lead to many other health risks such as heart disease, diabetes and various cancers. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in January 2003, a study conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, confirmed that portion size has grown significantly over the past two decades and that this growth trend goes beyond fast-food restaurants to affect meals in homes and other conventional restaurants. Portion control is greatly needed as “portion distortion” is sweeping the nation.”

Other studies show that given the increase in portions, most people will still eat what is given to them! This may seem a bit frightening, but maybe many Americans grew up in a household like I did, where the “clean plate club” was a big deal. To further ensure we ate every morsel on our plates, we were often reminded of the starving children in Africa pointing out how lucky we were to have the food. To this day, it is difficult for me to leave anything on my plate. Even though this may be a reason people are programed to eat unreasonable portion sizes, it is equally reasonable to see how important the role “right sizing” your portions can have in losing and maintaining a healthy weight.

The good news is that there are several simple methods to help reteach people on how to easily recogonize the right portion size AND you can start using them immediately – no preparation required! All of these methods are great tools to help with wieght loss and even better, no calorie counting, wieghing, or food restrictions are involved. The most available method is your hand. As you can see from the guide below found on the Fat Fighter website and published by the USDA, using your hand will help you easily visualize portion sizes anytime you need!

A fist or cupped hand = 1 cup

For example:
1 serving = 1/2 cup cereal, cooked pasta, or rice
OR 1 cup of raw, leafy green vegetables
OR 1/2 cup of chopped fruits or vegetables

A thumb = 1 ounce of cheese

Handful = 1-2 ounces of snack food
Remember, 1 handful = 1 ounce of nuts and small candies. For chips and pretzels, 2 handfuls = 1 ounce

Palm = 3 ounces of meat

Thumb Tip = 1 teaspoon
Keep high fat foods like mayonnaise to a minimum by measuring the serving with your thumb. One teaspoon is equal to the end of your thumb, from the knuckle up. Three teaspoons equals one tablespoon.

1 tennis ball = 1 serving of fruit
Healthy diets should include 2-4 servings of fruit each day.

***Important Note: Because hand sizes vary, compare your fist size to an actual measuring cup.

If you don’t like the hand guide, be sure to check out these other websites to find a different guide that will work for you. For example, WebMD publishes one that refers to various every day objects as their visual cues and they have published it in an easy to print and put in your wallet form. If you need more than just visual cues, there are sites that offer an actual plate for purchase that is designed to physically and visually help you manage portions.

Find one that works for you and start taking control of your portions today.

Dallas Personal Trainer and Boot Camp Tip of the Week – Weight Loss and Healthy Tips – Fight Fat with Five for Fiber

What is one thing that helps with weight loss, controls blood sugar levels, lowers blood cholesterol numbers, lowers your risk of digestive problems, and prevents constipation? If you said fiber, you would be right. As a health and fitness professional, it is my job to help educate each and every client to help learn what foods will help with what. The studies all point to the huge benefits that Fiber has.

Weight Loss and Healthy Tips – Fight Fat with Five for Fiber

 What is Dietary Fiber and how can it help with weight loss?

Fiber is undigested carbohydrates and includes all parts of plant food that your body cannot digest or absorb. Your body’s enzymes are unable to break the carbohydrates down and therefore the fiber is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Instead of being used for energy, fiber is excreted from our bodies. Fats, proteins, or carbohydrates can all be broken down by our bodies and absorbed. Fiber is not absorbed and passes through your stomach and small intestine and then into your colon.

Here are the top five reasons fiber aids in weight loss, appetite control and
overall health:

1. Weight Loss – Fiber is a carbohydrate that cannot be digested or absorbed by your body. Therefore, instead of being used or stored, like most carbohydrates or fats it simply passes through the body.

2. Appetite Control – because foods high in fiber are not digested, you feel fuller sooner and stay fuller longer than if you were eating foods without fiber

3. Supports Digestion - Constipation is the #1 gastrointestinal complaint in America. Consuming foods high in fiber on a regular basis helps ease this problem.

4. Lower cholesterol - Soluble fiber has been known to lower cholesterol. You probably know this from a popular oatmeal brand commercial that puts you to the challenge of eating oatmeal to lower your cholesterol.

5. Regulates blood sugar – Processed and artificial foods will spike levels of blood sugar. Foods that are naturally contain fiber keep that blood sugar level more stabilized which in turn helps keep your appetite and cravings in check.

There are two types of fiber and both are play a huge role in the five benefits that fiber provides for each of us. The two types

Product of the Tip - Excellent Fiber Supplment

of fiber are soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. This chart will help you understand the difference between the two types of fiber, their wonderful health benefits and the sources of food that contain natural fiber.

Most Fitness Boot Camps that are held in parks do not have access to locker rooms or have the luxury of showers and a room to clean up and change. They also have to work out in the rain or in the cold during winter because they do not have access to facilities. The Get You In Shape Coppell Fitness Boot Camp has both the amenities of working out outside but also being able to use the Coppell Aquatics Center when the weather is bad, too cold, or it is raining. Paying for a class that makes you workout rain or shine and in the cold weather in the middle winter is NOT appealing to most people that is one of the many things that sets this Fitness Boot Camp apart from others.

Understanding Calories

Each pound of fat your body stores represents 3,500 calories of unused energy. In order to lose one pound of fat, you either have to burn 3,500 calories or eat 3,500 calories less or over a period of time. You probably have heard the phrase calories in–calories out. This simply means to lose body fat the calories you consume need to be less than the calories your body burns. The best and healthiest option is to do a combination of both approaches, minimize your caloric intake while burning off excess calories. There is a difference in the nutritional value of calories and that should be also noted. Your body needs nutrients in order to go about its daily activities. There is a difference in the type of calories you are putting in you body. You can eat 1,800 calories of all cookies in one day, which may be below your daily calories but you body will not be able to get all the nutrients it needs with the calories from the cookies.

The first step is to determine how many calories you need to eat daily to maintain your current weight. There are many websites that you can google “daily caloric needs” and determin your daily caloried needs. Each person will vary depending on gender, weight, height and level of daily physical activity (a sedentary occupation vs. and active occupation). This site will give you an idea on how many calories per day that your body needs to maintain your current weight. An easy way to start the process of losing body fat and weight is by only cutting that number by 500 each day. Cut the calories you consume by 300 a day and also exercising an extra 200 to make 500 a day. By doing this, you will be burning 3,500 calories a week or one pound of body fat per week. It is recommended that no more than 2 pounds or 7,000 calories be lost per week for lasting weight loss.

Ways to help count and cut calories are:

1. Have a daily journal and begin writing down everything you eat and add up the calories. This will help in knowing how much you ate and it can also act as an accountability partner. Write down what you ate, the amount of calories consumed, and write down the time you ate. There are also many websites will help you find out how many calories are in the foods you are eating.
2. Start looking at the labels of the foods and drinks you are consuming to be aware of the calories.
3. Cut down on empty calories in drinks such as soda, juice, alcohol, specialized coffee drinks and sweetened teas are all in the high calorie/low nutrition. There are ZERO calories in Water!!
4. Cut down or limit all unrefined sugars that are found in foods such as cookies, cake, ice cream, candy and candy bars. Also cut out high caloric fried foods such as potato chips, onion rings, French fries, donuts, and other fried foods.
5. Start cutting your portions so that you are eating fewer calories each time you eat.
6. When eating out, always split a meal with someone or have the waiter put the rest of the plate in a to-go box before your meal comes out.

It is important to note that there are some people out there that do not get enough calories. A diet that is too low in calories doesn’t provide the body with the nourishment and adequate nutrients it needs to perform activities of daily living. If your body does not get enough calories it will begin to start feeding off your muscle and using protein as fuel instead of carbohydrates and fat. Drastically reducing calories is not an effective way to lose body fat because instead of losing fat, you lose muscle. Whether or not you’re trying to lose weight, always strive to eat balanced meals and snacks that provide enough calories to keep you energized.

Chew Your Food SLOWLY

 When people think digestion they most often think of intestines and their stomach. The truth is that the digestion process actually begins in the mouth. The process of chewing is a vital component of the digestive process. The action of chewing mechanically breaks down very large amounts of food molecules into smaller particles. This results in food having increased in surface area, an important contributing factor to good digestion. Chewing your food well allows the food to be exposed to your saliva for a longer period of time. Food’s being in contact with saliva is not just important because it helps to lubricate the food, allowing for less stress on your esophagus, but because saliva contains enzymes that contribute to the chemical process of digestion. Carbohydrate digestion begins with enzymes in your saliva breaking down some of the chemical bonds that connect the simple sugars that comprise starches. Also, the first stage of fat digestion begins in your mouth with the secretion of enzymes by glands located under the tongue.

 So what are some benefits to chewing your food thoroughly?

1. Aids in the proper transport of nutrients in your body.
2. Helps start the important digestive process which is important to being healthy.
3. You are more than likely to not eat as much by eating thoroughly. When you are eating slower, your brain can tell you that you are full, causing you to eat less.
4. Helps to prevent the heavy feeling that sometimes follows a meal and it also will help you lose body fat since you are not eating as much

 What are some of the side effects of not chewing thoroughly?

1. Poorly digested food means poor absorption of the vitamins and nutrients that the foods you are eating provide. 
2. Eating rapidly and swallowing large mouthfuls contributes to the reflux which can damage the lining of the throat and esophagus. About 44% of Americans experience reflux or heartburn at least once a month, 20% have it every week and 7% suffer from it daily. 
3. Other side effects include flatulence, indigestion, heartburn, gas, IBS, and other discomforts.  Chewing each bit thoroughly allows less air to enter in which decreases gas and burping. With an increasing number of individuals with IBS, constipation, abdominal spasms and bloating, chewing food could possibly prevent a number if these daily discomforts. 

 For people who have trouble chewing foods, it may be helpful to cut food into small pieces and to allow extra time to chew food at a comfortable, unhurried pace. Another helpful hint would be to put your fork down on your plate after each bite. For people who just do not have the time to eat and chew each bite, a well-balanced meal replacement shake is a good alternative. Again, chewing thoroughly takes some time to get used to and will be strange at first. Making a conscious effort to start benefiting from chewing will be a start. A lot of people say chew a set number of times before swallowing your foods. Do not worry about counting how many bits you take but just make sure each bit is liquid before you swallow. If you understand the benefits associated with chewing thoroughly, you will start today.
