The right fat will not make you fat, but it might make you lean. Strange but true since everybody knows that fats contain a lot of calories— nine per gram. Fat is more calorie dense than protein, carbs, and alcohol.

You don’t have to be a marathoner to benefit from a protein chaser. “Your muscles are like sponges for 30 to 45 minutes right after
If you give them some protein in that magic window, they’re primed to put it to use rebuilding and repairing the microtears in muscle tissue that occur

Top10Tips For A Healthier Christmas
Visit our website for the whole article!
Have a healthy, happy Christmas! Christmas is notoriously a time to indulge, but don’t let this be the green light to overindulge! You can still enjoy all the festivities of the season and get through the Christmas period without too much impact on your health and waistline. Try our top 10 tips for a healthier Christmas. 1. Don’t sit down all day We know every Christmas special under the sun will be showing on the TV, but you don’t need to plonk yourself on the sofa all day! Encourage the whole family to get out for a walk at some point – ideally, after dinner to aid digestion. The more activity, the better, so take along any new outdoor gifts, like bikes, in-line skates, footballs or Frisbees, climb trees or play old-fashioned games. 2. Go easy on the booze If you are firmly ensconced at home over the festive period, those alcohol units can really mount up. Mulled wine on Christmas eve,
Bucks Fizz with breakfast, wine with dinner, Baileys, brandy… the list goes on! So, do try to keep tabs on how much you are drinking, and intersperse alcoholic drinks with soft ones. 3. Don’t give yourself a Christmas stuffing! Recent research suggests that we consume around 3,000 calories in our Christmas dinner – more than the entire recommended daily intake for a grown man! This huge feast not only contributes to weight gain but also to indigestion and heartburn – not to mention lethargy for the rest of the day, reducing the chances of you burning much of it off.
Instead of gorging yourself on Christmas dinner, eat a normal-sized meal and then take a 20-minute break to see if you are still hungry (it takes this long for the brain to register that the stomach is full). 4. Think before you eat Christmas is a time of plenty, and with nuts, chocolates, mince pies and cheese straws where ever you look, it would be rather Scrooge-like to suggest that you don’t eat any treats over the festive period! But rather than mindlessly popping whatever is in front of you in your mouth, spend a moment thinking about whether you really want it, or are just eating it because it’s there.

䐀愀礀氀椀最栀琀 䌀爀愀瘀椀渀最猀 Everyone struggles with food cravings, and it sometimes becomes even harder when the clocks go back and the nights draw in ever earlier. Here are some of the best tips available to help you deal with your food cravings: 1. Eat at least three wellbalanced meals a day. Don’t skip meals or avoid essential nutrients like carbohydrate, fat, or protein. It’s a normal physiological reaction to crave food if you’re underfed. 2. Accept food cravings as a normal part of living in a food-oriented society. Everyone experiences food cravings, regardless of whether they struggle

with weight. The more you understand cravings, the more manageable they become. Food cravings can be caused by physical cues, emotional cues, environmental cues, and habits. Although you cannot necessarily eliminate all cravings, understanding what triggers them is the first step in reducing the frequency of cravings. 3. Remember that cravings will pass. Researchers have found that people believe a craving will continue to intensify until they give into it. In truth, a craving is similar to a wave in the ocean. It grows in intensity, peaks and then subsides if you don’t give into it. The more you practice riding the wave, the easier it will become.
4. Disarm your cravings with the 4 D’s... Delay — at least 10-15 minutes before you eat so your action is conscious, not impulsive. Distract — by engaging in an activity that requires concentration and is not compatible with eating. Determine — how important it is to eat the craved food and how much you really want it. Decide — what amount is reasonable and appropriate to start with. Eat it mindfully and enjoy! Don’t forget, we offer a full nutrition and lifestyle review as part of your member journey here at Odyssey. Book yours today!

Keeping Motivated
Throughout The Winter by Janine Sizer, Fitness Coach Your alarm goes off. It’s a cold winter morning. The warmth and comfort of your bed is begging you to stay inside rather than go to the gym. How do you make yourself get up and dressed for the gym? Eating Right It’s really important that throughout the winter we eat right. Listen to your cravings - there is a reason for them! In the winter, with fewer sunny hours, your stored serotonin (the “feel-good” brain chemical) starts to decline. Your cravings for carbohydrateloaded comfort foods are your body’s cries for more serotonin. But be careful when choosing carbohydrates to boost serotonin! Opt for nutritious whole grains and choose high-quality carbs such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and squashes.

Find a Friend Find someone who will commit to joining you in the morning for walks or workouts, and hold you accountable for showing up. Knowing someone is waiting for you to share the pain of the early darkness might be just the stimulus you need to throw back the covers and get out of the house. Mini-Goals for Major Rewards Set small targets that lead to higher intensity, focus and discipline to stay on track each day. Perhaps the number of miles this week, the number of workouts over the next seven days, or steady improvements in strength gains on the bench press. For maximum motivation, always write your goals down, making them specific and measurable, and track progress so you can reward yourself for the results.
Step Out of the Ordinary Finding a new type of workout to start doing will give you a fresh breeze of motivation. When you’re in a slump it’s always a good idea to try something new and add some excitement to your routine. You may discover the workout you’ve been missing! Find out Janine’s favourtie indoor classes and read the full article by visiting our website. Also, keep an eye out on our social media sites for more hints and tips for keeping motivated over the winter months!
