We are almost at the second weekend of our Slim-Down Challenge! Source: www.selladeal.ro Today, we have a special challenge in store for you. Instead of eating 3 large meals throughout the day like you usually do, we are going to break it down to 6 smaller meals. Remember, this doesn’t mean you eat any more then you usually do! We wouldn’t want to go doubling our caloric intake for the day! The reason for doing this is simple: every time we eat, we get our digestive system moving and our metabolism ramps up, burning more calories. So the more often we eat, the more calories we can actually burn! The digestive system takes about 3 hours to complete it’s work, so try and space your meals out accordingly. If you are having trouble coming up with 6 different meals, a Protein shake or Protein bar are good options for those in between meals!  Good luck!  Still need the challenge calendar?

Day 6 – No salt! Sodium-Free Friday: try to go the entire day without salt in cooking, out to dinner, or in packaged items. Sodium leads to water and fat retention which can make losing weight more difficult. By cutting sodium you not only increase your chances of shedding lbs, but can you also prevent high blood pressure, reduce risk of heart attack, and possibly even diabetes complications. source: foxnutritionanddiabetesservices.com   Still need the challenge calendar?

Getting ready to head to a party and worried about what impact it may have on your progress? If so, you need to get prepared. Proper preparation before attending a party is the best way to combat the typical high-calorie intake that goes with them.

Getting ready for Memorial Day weekend? If so, you’re likely planning your celebratory menu. Many people opt to take the day ‘off’ their diet so they can just indulge in what they want. This is not the route to take. If you want to maximize your nutrition without sacrificing taste, these recipes will help you do just that. Serve them up and they’ll be a sure crowd pleaser.

If you’ve been getting involved with Crossfit at all, you have likely heard of the Paleo diet plan. This diet is catching on by many who are doing this workout variation and looking for a way to help improve their health, nutrition, and shed some excess body fat. There’s no question that the Paleo diet works and will boost your health – if you follow it correctly. Let’s take a closer peek into what the Paleo diet is and why you should hop on board. The Premise The idea behind the caveman diet is you’ll focus on eating only foods that were around back in the caveman era. This was before all the man-made foods we see lining the supermarkets were available and before obesity was common place. By reverting your eating back to this style, you can effortlessly shed the excess weight you’ve been carrying around. What You Can Eat So what can you eat when you venture onto the Paleo diet plan? You should be focusing on plenty of lean protein from animals such as lean steak, bison, poultry, along with fish and seafood. In addition to this, your diet should be fully loaded with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, adding some healthy fats in with moderation such as olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, and fatty varieties of fish. All processed, sugar food is banned from this diet plan as are dairy products, grains, and potatoes. Tips To Stay On Track To help stay on track, you’ll want to make sure you’re always prepared. When you’re out and about, it can be challenging to find paleo-friendly snacks to consume.  In addition to this, make sure you don’t take your fat intake too low. Some people make this mistake when going paleo and it leads to very low energy levels and the falling off the plan entirely. Make sure you take in at least 0.35 grams per pound of healthy fats each day and you’ll overcome this problem. So if you have not yet considered the Paleo diet, now is the time to do so!

nashuanutrition.com ProtiDiet high-protein liquid concentrates are a great way to aid your weight loss efforts as well as to help maintain or strengthen muscle mass. While these delicious drinks are ideal for body builders, anyone who wants to get into better shape can benefit by incorporating them into their diet. They not only help to build lean muscle mass, but also encourage fat loss, help you feel fuller longer and provide essential nutrients as well as improving metabolic activity. These fantastic beverages come in all sorts of flavors that are sure to tempt your taste buds, including: Cool Raspberry, Grape, Green Tea & Cranberry, Kiwi-Melon, Orange, Peach Mango, Tropical Fruits, and Wildberry. Each contain just 70 calories, zero fat and 15 grams of protein per serving – and are available in easy-to-open liquid packets that are simply poured into a glass or bottle of cold water, shaken, and enjoyed! ProtiDiet high-protein liquid concentrates make it easy to keep you on track and on your way to optimal health and fitness. By consuming one after a workout, the rich protein content helps to improve muscle strength by helping your body to repair its muscles. Consuming more protein each day, along with regular exercise has been scientifically proven to boost fat burning as compared to exercise alone. As there is about an hour window after physical activity in which the muscles are primed to respond to protein, this is the time it’s even more essential to provide your body with quality sources of this important nutrient. During your workout, muscle breaks down, requiring amino acids to help rebuild and repair them. As protein helps to increase your base metabolic rate by preserving lean muscle, you’ll naturally burn more calories each day, speeding you to your goal that much faster. What better way to get the protein you need to achieve the body you want than with your favorite flavor of Nashua Nutrition’s ProtiDiet liquid concentrates!
