I'm resending this email for the newbies.

This week Weight Watchers changed it's point system to emphasize
quality calories over quantity of calories.
Fruits ands Vegetable are now zero points. Now you can have unlimited
quantities of these. Proteins and fibers have lower point values while
fats have higher point value.
-points control not only quantity but quality now. It's very close to
the Cup & Saucer Diet now. Are they reading my blog?
This is an example why calories aren't the whole picture.
-Zero calorie artificial sweeteners can actually increase appetite!
-Refined calories are superglue for fat since they provide no insulin reducing agents like nutrients or fiber.
-High glycemic calories speeds fat storage.
-and timing of calories influence metabolic use or storage.
Now if only they would quit marketing refined & artificial and processed foods!

Coffee May Reduce Incidence of Stroke in Women
I recently received a continuing education study that mentioned that drinking coffee may increase insulin sensitivity, thus benefiting women in that it lowered incidence of stroke.
This is mainly circumstantial and supportive evidence and more research needs to be done.
March 15, 2011 — Drinking 1 to 5 cups of coffee a day was associated with a 22% to 25% lower risk for stroke in a large group of Swedish women followed up for an average of about 10 years, according to research released today.
The take away for fitness enthusiast is:
-increased insulin sensitivity is a major benefit for weight loss. Fat storage is reduced and energy is increased. Insulin sensitivity has a direct and positive effect on metabolism.
-the heart is an endurance muscle. Benefits to the heart affects overall O2 use and nutrient uptake.
Simply put coffee has another positive in it's corner! But remember too much of anything can be detrimental.
The study was supported by the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research and the Swedish Research Council for Infrastructure.

Photo Shoot Diet
If your not sedentary and you already weight train and you only need to lose a little belly fat fast. This may help you get picture ready. This is not a permanent plan and should not be done more than a month. For larger clients I would recommend 2 days of weight training also. Also they may not need to be as aggressive.
-First increase your vegetables. This will add nutrients and calories without adding fat.
-Increase your fiber. This will keep you full longer and reduce sugar in the blood which will prevent fat storage.
-Increase your cardio by 3-5 hours weekly. You will burn more calories and aerobic leg movements is the best ab workout for reducing belly fat.
-decrease animal products meat, dairy, fats, oils. These are rich in fatty acids which help in making blood fat and fat storage.
-decrease alcohol. Alcohol is the fastest way to store fat. Consider it liquid fat.
-decrease overall calories. Use the cup&saucer. Eat your main meal at lunch. Make snacks veggies or fruit.
-decrease or cut sugars. Sugar spikes insulin which leads to fat storage. This includes artificial sweeteners.
Always stay away from R.A.P. Refined, artificial, and processed. If it's in a box, plastic, can, or frozen leave it that way.
Lastly try to drink enough water to get you urine the color of light lemonade.
Fast weight loss is not the best strategy for long lasting results. So if your a model, or have a special event coming here's your action plan. Remember 2 weeks is long enough for most people and no more than a month is still within reason.
