New Year- New You is a success!

28 days ago fifteen people of all walks of life embarked on a journey of self-recognition and test of will power to make some serious changes in their lifestyles and health.

Now in its second year, The New Year- New You programme had everyone, including myself follow a strict diet in which you eliminate all toxins including:

• Dairy (live yoghurt and Raw dairy allowed)
• Caffeine (evil!)
• Wheat
• Sugar
• Alcohol
• All preservatives and chemicals.

This is coupled with a three days a week training regime to further augment the results. These sessions where based around Kettlebells, bodyweight exercises and other funky toys thrown in for good measure!

After a few days feeling pretty crappy due to the toxins being expelled, you start to feel and look great. At the end of the programme people where hugging me delighted with the results!

Sam Nash who attended the programme despite reservations as to wether she would be able to complete it said the following today:

"Hi Christian - just a note to say I'm thrilled with the results I have achieved so far by joining the kettle bell community! The 4 week course we did has seen incredible results so far (1 stone, 8.5 cm off my waist and 5% body fat) Whoop whoop!!!!! I'm a convert and shall carry on in my quest with the help of KB. Thanks again :-)"

Another trainee was able to stop taking medication she had been on for years- awesome!

Messages like this make my job worthwhile and getting up in the mornings so easy! Thank you to all those who attended and completed the programme- I'm so proud of you. 

Keep up the great work.

Those of you that missed the programme, I'll be doing the Beach Body 2 Bootcamp in May, which will be outdoors...get in touch for details! 

Why margarine could be killing you!

Thank you to my friend Cris Leahy for senfing me the following post: Pass The Butter .. Please.            This is interesting . .. . Margarine  was originally manufactured to fatten  turkeys.  When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put  all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their  heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get  their money back.  It was a white substance with no food appeal  so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.  How do you like it?   They have come out  with some clever new flavourings..     DO  YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?   Read on to the end...gets very interesting!     Both  have the same amount of calories... Butter  is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8  grams; compared   to 5 grams for margarine. Eating margarine can increase  heart disease in women by 53% over   eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent  Harvard  Medical Study. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in  other foods. Butter  has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and   only  because  they are added! Butter  tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of  other foods. Butter  has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years . And now, for Margarine.. Very High in Trans fatty acids. Triples risk of coronary heart disease . Increases  total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and  lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases  the risk of cancers up to five times.. Lowers  quality of breast milk. Decreases immune response. Decreases  insulin response. And  here's the most disturbing fact...... HERE  IS  THE  PART  THAT  IS  VERY INTERESTING! Margarine  is but ONE  MOLECULE  away  from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with paint These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life  and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is  added,  changing the molecular structure of the  substance).   You  can try this yourself: Purchase  a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded  area.  Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things: *  no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it  (that should tell you something) *  it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.  Why?   Because it is nearly plastic .  Would you melt your Tupperw are and  spread that  on your toast?   Share  This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!
