A Few Good Snacks… – Robb Wolf

A Few Good Snacks… 11 Comments Friday, November 8th, 2013 So last week was Halloween and let’s face it – some of the ‘treats’ that may have found (or are still finding) their way into your mouth are downright scary. Did you know that there are 25 ingredients in Plain M&M’s, 19 in a Snickers bar and 28 in an Almond Joy? And I don’t know about you but if I were going to write a recipe for something with ‘Joy’ in the name PGPR and Sodium Metabisulfite wouldn’t be top contenders for the ingredient list… Be afraid people. Be VERY afraid.Halloween aside healthy snack and treat options are few and far between and these days, life moves pretty fast. Eating on the go is the rule rather than the exception. Finding Paleo friendly foods that travel well, are nutritious, contain quality ingredients, and that aren’t laden with ‘natural’ sugars is quite a feat.

The Impact of Nutrition on Autoimmune Disease – Part 3 8 Comments Thursday, November 7th, 2013 Written by: Matt Baran-MickleBe sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2Metabolism and ImmunityThe obesity epidemic is widely recognized, and while the precise causes are not entirely clear, the presence of excessive nutrient intake and subsequent systemic metabolic dysfunction is not controversial. Obesity is frequently accompanied by a variety of conditions that are collectively referred to as the metabolic syndrome, including high plasma glucose, high plasma fatty acids/triglycerides, hypertension, and insulin resistance; immunological alterations in obesity are increasingly recognized as well, and the presence of chronic inflammation is a hallmark of the condition.(image: Kanneganti & Dixit, 2012)These immunological alterations are quite pronounced, and include the accumulation of activated lymphocytes and innate cells in obese fat tissue, and a depletion of Treg cells, as well as mucosal barrier disruption and dysbiosis. Recent work has begun to unravel the interrelation of immunity and metabolism, and provides some intriguing evidence for our developing understanding of autoimmune disease.Like every other cell, leukocytes require energy and metabolic substrate to maintain normal cellular function, and to divide and proliferate.

Even the some of the strictest Paleo practitioners choose not to incorporate fasting into their nutritional strategies..But with intermittent fasting as an option, is this a mistake?Calorie restriction has gained traction as of late – In the pursuit of the ever elusive fountain of youth.. Anti-aging groups report that calorie restriction extends life span.. and while they do make a solid case for calorie restriction, and have scientific proof to back up these claims..We think that is simply taking things to the extreme… and as always, there’s a smarter way.A growing segment of people are starting to learn of the benefits of intermittent fasting..Particularly, the health benefits associated with being in a fasted state..

Enthusiasts praise its pattern of orchestrated eating and abstaining for everything from improved immunity to mental clarity and, of course, fast fat loss.IF involves periods of alternately eating and fasting. Beyond that, definitions widely vary.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
