Christmas is meant to be a happy time of Year. Spending time with the family. Relaxing and having some well earned fun after a long tough year. We relax our rules towards food and drink and fmost of us tend to take a break from the gym and general exercise as if it were a major burden in our lives. THEN .... (cue Jaws music) we start to notice the snug fit of our jeans or that then front button refuse to meet up with the button hole as if they were having a feud. You are filled with dread and regret ..Maybe that whole Christmas cake wasnt the best idea you have had all year - fooling yourself that it was just going to make your biceps bigger while speeding up your metabolism. Hence when the your routine fitness, supplement and nutritional program becomes hard work. When we embark on a program to improve our health and fitness, we should always look at it honestly and ask ourselves; Can we do this for the rest of our lives AND enjoy it? If you can honestly admit to yourself that you cant then you are http://topmarknutrition.co.nz/Fri, 25 May 2012 12:57:46 GMThttp://backend.userland.com/rssRSS.NET: http://www.rssdotnet.com/<p><span style="font-size: 10px; font-family: verdana">When summer is over, we inevitably gain a few pounds through the winter months, sometimes without meaning to. <br/> To avoid the inevitable "I'll lose it before summer" pledge we all seem to make, consider a maintenance program throughout this period.<br/> <br/> The benefits of a maintenance program outweigh the tedious hard work of a strict diet that tends to put you on a bit of a rollercoaster. Lose weight too quickly and you tend to put back on very easily.<br/> One supplement that has shown to be beneficial for weight loss and extremely beneficial for maintainence once you achieve your goal is CLA.<br/> Many studies have been done which show the results that can be achieved during a weight loss program while taking CLA. CLA is a fat burning fat which can seem strange but it has been proven over and over by studies that in order to burn fat, we have to eat some fat.<br/> CLA is the most researched of all the calorie burning fats.<br/> CLA works to reduce body fat by preventing fat accumulation in fat cells by, literally speaking, locking the door so the fat can't get in. CLA also works to increase lean muscle tissue activity by enhancing enzyme activity in muscle cells.<br/> Hence why studies show increased muscle tissue while taking CLA. Another study showed that participants gained less weight while on CLA during the Christmas season than participants on placebo. <br/> Incorporate your CLA with a Healthy nutritional plan and exercise program and you will find weight loss and maintenance a piece of cake throughout the year.<br/> </span><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: #333333; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'verdana','sans-serif'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: #333333; font-family: 'verdana','sans-serif'"><br/> Checkout this link for studies on CLA:</span></span></span></p> <p><a href="http://www.tonalin.com/content/view/23/38/1/1/lang,english/">http://www.tonalin.com/content/view/23/38/1/1/lang,english/</a></p> http://topmarknutrition.co.nz/RSSRetrieve.aspx?ID=165&A=Link&ObjectID=20241&ObjectType=56&O=http%253a%252f%252ftopmarknutrition.co.nz%252f_blog%252fNutrition%252fpost%252fMANAGE_YOUR_WEIGHT_THIS_WINTER%252fhttp://topmarknutrition.co.nz/_blog/Nutrition/post/MANAGE_YOUR_WEIGHT_THIS_WINTER/Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:39:00 GMTOver the next few weeks we will make several postings on our brand new blog.
