Lose weight for Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is comming up! How does that fit in with your weight loss program?
This Thanksgiving I am most thankful for my weight loss. I have lost over 25 pounds thanks in part to Power-Pops. I have made exercise part of my daily routine, and of course sensible eating is the cornerstone. It's hard to believe that I can actually turn down a chocolate chip cookie now!

My Thanksgiving will include plenty of exercise, and of course Power Pops to help burn off a few of those extra calories that I am likely to eat.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! more...

Weight Loss back on Track

When you are actively losing weight, vacations can be tough. This was certainly true with me. Thanks to Power-Pops, the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been.

My most recent official weigh-in shows me at a total loss of 7.2 pounds. This isnt really earth shattering, but considering my calorie intake for the past 3 weeks, it's pretty good. more...

You call that a serving???

Ever read a label and feel starved? "Serving size 6 chips" eeek I just ate the whole bag! Do you feel bad about the size of the servings you eat? When I am supposed to eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, how do I choke all that stuff down?

Well it's not as bad as it all sounds. True you really should choke down a bag of chips, but with Power-Pops on your side, that shouldn't be a problem. As to the servings of fruits and vegetables, it's not really as bad as it may sound. A "serving" of carrots is only 1/2 cup. If you eat 1-1/2 cups of carrots, you have satisfied 3 of the 9 servings you are supposed to eat for the day. So add that to the salad, and green beans or whatever, and before you know it, you have had your 9 servings and can feel better nourished. more...

What is Guarana?

Guarana (pronounced gwa-ra-naa) is a berry that grows in Venezuela and the northern parts of Brazil. The name 'Guarana' comes from the Guarani tribe that lives in Brazil. Guarana plays a very important role in their culture, as this herb is believed to be magical, a cure for bowel complaints and a way to regain strength. They also tell the myth of a 'Devine Child', that was killed by a serpent and whos eyes gave birth to this plant. Guarana's biological name, Paullinia Cupana, was taken from the German medical botanist C.F. Paullini, who discovered the tribe and the plant in the 18th century. The taste of Guarana is distinctive and unique, and the main reason for its success in Brazil as a soft drink. The main ingredient of guarana is guaranine, which is chemically identical to caffeine. This is the reason for the energy boost people get after taking guarana.

What is Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 is a member of the vitamin B complex. It contains cobalt, and so is also known as cobalamin. It is exclusively synthesised by bacteria and is found primarily in meat, eggs and dairy products. There has been considerable research into proposed plant sources of vitamin B12. Fermented soya products, seaweeds, and algae such as spirulina have all been suggested as containing significant B12. However, the present consensus is that any B12 present in plant foods is likely to be unavailable to humans and so these foods should not be relied upon as safe sources. Many vegan foods are supplemented with B12. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of red blood cells, the maintenance of the nervous system, and growth and development in children. Deficiency can cause anaemia. Vitamin B12 neuropathy, involving the degeneration of nerve fibres and irreversible neurological damage, can also occur.

Vitamin B12's primary functions are in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenence of a healthy nervous system. B12 is necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. This is especially important in tissues where cells are dividing rapidly, particularly the bone marrow tissues responsible for red blood cell formation. If B12 deficiency occurs, DNA production is disrupted and abnormal cells called megaloblasts occur. This results in anaemia. Symptoms include excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, pallor, and poor resistance to infection. Other symptoms can include a smooth, sore tongue and menstrual disorders. Anaemia may also be due to folic acid deficiency, folic acid also being necessary for DNA synthesis.
B12 is also important in maintaining the nervous system. Nerves are surrounded by an insulating fatty sheath comprised of a complex protein called myelin. B12 plays a vital role in the metabolism of fatty acids essential for the maintainence of myelin. Prolonged B12 deficiency can lead to nerve degeneration and irreversible neurological damage.

When deficiency occurs, it is more commonly linked to a failure to effectively absorb B12 from the intestine rather than a dietary deficiency. Absorption of B12 requires the secretion from the cells lining the stomach of a glycoprotein, known as intrinsic factor. The B12-intrinsic factor complex is then absorbed in the ileum (part of the small intestine) in the presence of calcium. Certain people are unable to produce intrinsic factor and the subsequent pernicious anaemia is treated with injections of B12.

Vitamin B12 can be stored in small amounts by the body. Total body store is 2-5mg in adults. Around 80% of this is stored in the liver.

Vitamin B12 is excreted in the bile and is effectively reabsorbed. This is known as enterohepatic circulation. The amount of B12 excreted in the bile can vary from 1 to 10ug (micrograms) a day. People on diets low in B12, including vegans and some vegetarians, may be obtaining more B12 from reabsorption than from dietary sources. Reabsorption is the reason it can take over 20 years for deficiency disease to develop in people changing to diets absent in B12. In comparison, if B12 deficiency is due to a failure in absorption it can take only 3 years for deficiency disease to occur. more...

Words of Inspiration

What's Holding You Back?: What things are holding you back, preventing you from reaching your full potential? We tend to avoid thinking about such things, because they can be painful. Or we blame our troubles and lack of progress on someone else. Avoiding the real issue may ""feel"" better at the moment. Yet it does nothing to move us forward. The moment you honestly and clearly face your limitations, you begin to transcend them. Yes, it involves effort to work on your shortcomings. In the end, though it will be less effort than you would spend continually working against them. Discovering your limitations gives you a powerful opportunity to be more effective. Once you remove something that's holding you back, you're finished fighting it. That gives you more energy to put into achieving your goals. Take a good, hard look at your fears, your assumptions, your weaknesses. Admit them, and put your effort into overcoming them. It will pay a lifetime of dividends.

Article of the Week

Zone-Tone method: understanding mind-muscle connection: The ""Zone-Tone"" technique, is the art of mentally zoning in and pre-isolating specific muscles just before an exercise to be executed while at the same time maintaining that zone throughout the execution of the movement. This wonderful technique is very easy to grasp and will deliver enormous benefits to your fitness program. Combining proper form and technique with the Zone-Tone method will help you reach all of your fitness goals much faster than conventional practices. The level of isolation and stimulation you will get every time you perform an exercise using this method will increase tenfold. There are several reasons why people fail to create a successful mind-to-muscle connection: Lack of knowledge about anatomy combined with lack of information available on how to successfully create a mind-to-muscle connection. Misinformation on the part of our teachers or books regarding exercise execution. Humans have a difficult time with change since they get accustomed to doing the same old thing and feel more comfortable and less at risk by doing so. As a result, they refuse to change the way in which they conduct their exercises. Lifting gargantuan weights without any concern for proper exercise form in order to satisfy our ego. more...
