Forest Vance Training Community Cookbook (you’re invited to contribute)

Healthy eating is a topic on the top of almost everyone’s mind that’s involved in any kind of fitness program.

And I know that a lot of you make a daily effort to eat healthy and have inventive recipes you use to help you do it.

Enter the Forest Vance Training community cookbook!

Here are the details:

  • Anyone who is interested will contribute (at least one) healthy recipe. It can be as short or as long as you like; it can be for a snack, or meal, even for blender drink – anything you like and you think others could benefit from. Please submit your recipe (s) to my assistant via email at this address: fvtraininfo (at) gmail (dot) com – and please be patient and know that we’ll be receiving a lot of emails, so it may take a day or two to email you back and let you know that we’ve gotten your recipe.
  • I will take all the healthy recipes that I get and have them compiled and nicely formatted into a community cookbook! And everyone who contributes gets a free copy!

I want to give you guys fair time and fair warning to get your recipes in; on the other hand I can’t let the project stretch out forever – so the deadline to submit your recipe(s) will be the end of this week, Sunday, June 26 at 11:59 PM.

Again, contribute at least one recipe to the new Forest Vance Training community cookbook, and you’ll get (likely) dozens of new recipes to add to your healthy eating reptoire! Just email your healthy recipe to fvtraininfo (at) gmail (dot) com

Thank you so much for contributing in advance and talk you soon –

Sacramento Chiropractor Dr. Sandy Bell Explains: Ice or Heat an Injury?

I got together with my friend and colleague Dr. Sandy Bell last week to film a short video; we both agreed that one topic most folks could use help with would be if they should use heat or ice on an injury. It’s a very informative video; check it out below:

P.S. Sandy has actually agreed to offer a complimentary chiropractic evaluation and computerized stress analysis as a special offer to my email subscribers, blog and facebook followers, and current and past personal training clients for the remainder of the month of June (2011). If you’re interested in taking advantage of this special offer, click the link below to visit Dr. Bell’s website, email or phone Dr. Bell’s office, and let him know that Forest sent you:

Invitation For Current + Past Clients (free boot camp class offer)

It seems that every month we get questions about our challenge workouts via e-mail, on Facebook, and from current and past training clients.

So, what we’ve decided to do is invite current and past private training clients who haven’t tried a boot camp class to do so for free this month.

This is a great opportunity to give a boot camp session a try if you’ve been meaning to do so!

If you’d like to sign up, you have three class times to pick from:

Monday June 20th @ 6:30pm
Thursday June 23rd @ 6:00am
Saturday June 25th @ 9am

Please keep in mind, these are existing boot camp class times, so space is limited and spots will be reserved on a first-come first-serve basis.

Hope to see you there!

How To Lose Weight Without Going On A Diet – 8 Tricks and Tips

Personally, I hate the word diet.

To me, it implies more of a short-term quick fix than a long-term healthy eating plan. And especially if your goal is weight loss, small changes in your dietary habits can easily add up to measurable results.

Here are 8 tricks and tips to help you lose weight without going on a diet:

1. Use nonfat or 1% instead of whole milk.

2. Use Stevia or cinnamon in your coffee instead of sugar.

3. Use 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg to make your breakfast omelets.

4. Save 100 calories by using mustard instead of mayonnaise on your sandwich.

5. You can cut 150-200 calories per drink if you substitute water or green tea for your usual soda.

6. Add flavor and cut calories by sauteing meat, chicken and vegetables in broth instead of butter.

7. Don’t fall victim to large portions in restaurants. Share the meal with a friend or eat half of your dinner and save the rest for lunch tomorrow.

8. Instead of mixing Coke or Seven-Up with your alcoholic drinks, choose tonic water or seltzer.

In summary, small changes you make to your daily routine can have a huge effect on your overall health. Incorporate some of the tips listed above to cut extra calories and accelerate your fat loss results today!
