Happy Friday! Jessica has some advice for you! Small changes can equal big results. Little changes really can change a lot! Consider this: swapping a single soda everyday for sparkling water can save you 54, 750 calories a year. That’s over 15 pounds! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150384678667324&set=a.158683122323.154506.11851562323&type=1
LOSE 2 INCHES FROM YOUR WAIST! You’ve heard it before: add more activity to your day like parking further away from the mall, talking the stairs instead of the escalator, etc. but how effective is it for weight loss? Very! A recent Australian study found that people who regularly add these little bursts of activity to their days have waists that are on average 2 inches smaller than those who don’t. Remember, everything counts! Small steps can equal big changes. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150374620297324.402365.11851562323&type=1

Orzo Salad Lunch, Gourmet Snacks, and Chilean Sea Bass Dinner Monday, September 5, 2011 at 9:16 PM | posted by Sarah-Jane Bedwell My Fresh Diet lunch today was as equally delicious… …as breakfast. I had an Orzo Salad with Carrots, Peas, Artichoke Hearts, Parmesan Cheese and Mix Greens. I really loved the combination of flavors in this salad, and I loved the fact that is a very different salad than I would typically make for myself for lunch, so that made it feel extra special! It was also nice and light and refreshing, which made it perfect for this [...]

MILK YOUR MUSCLES!!! Milk your muscles. Skip the protein bars, grab a glass of milk! A recent study showed that women who drank two glasses of skim milk after a weight training workout gained more lean muscle mass than those who drank a high carb energy drink. Researchers believe that the protein found in milk (casein and whey) along with the vitamin D and calcium help repair and strengthen muscles. (Another bonus? Skim milk has less calories than most sports drinks, so don a milk mustache to get lean!) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Goldcrest/160483700660394#!/photo.php?fbid=10150358221222324&set=a.158683122323.154506.11851562323&type=1

Friday Fitness tip with Jessica: Cool off to do more. Did you know a recent study found that when strength training participants cooled their hands off in between sets, they were able to finish more reps? Next time you feel like throwing in the towel on a hard session, see if there is a fan nearby and give it a try.

Potassium helps shed the pounds. Pump up your potassium intake to lose weight! Potassium is an essential dietary mineral and electrolyte that helps our bodies build muscle, prevent excess fluid retention, regulate blood pressure and even helps release energy from proteins, fat and carbs during digestion. Eating healthy, potassium rich foods like artichokes, bananas and potatoes can help you get in your daily recommended 2,500 mg dose.
