Did you know that not all fats are bad?  Each week I try to bring you some informative health-related video and I think I found a winner for this week…

Take those words to heart (no pun intended) and try to manage the fats that are in your diet.  If you have any further questions on this subject, feel free to contact FDF using the form in the upper-right corner of this site.

I’ll see you all next week and probably start in on another themed series (don’t miss it).  Have a good day!

I came across an interesting nutrition article on Yahoo! this morning that I thought was worth sharing with those of you who read this blog.  I came with a little write-up, but it honestly didn’t seem to do the information found in the video justice plus where’s the fun in that (reading the info vs. watching the clip)?! 

I was admittedly hesitant to post the video originally because of initial appearances – but the information in the clip is actually presented really well.  Watch the video below and try out some of these great suggestions…

Have a nice day!

Some days you have to treat your body like a business.  By that I mean that when a business is trying to change something fundamental to their results, they try to get to the core issue – not just the symptoms.  Another thing is that they set long term goals while keeping focused on the little numbers – because they understand that if you maintain or lift those little numbers, eventually the big ones will follow suit.

So how does that relate to the grocery store?  Well, in the words of an article I came across on Web MD, “Good nutrition starts with smart choices in the grocery store.”  When you’re trying to lose weight or recondition yourself – you could just focus on exercise – but then you’re only addressing symptoms of what may be a bigger issue…  And that issue may not necessarily be how you’re eating – but what you’re eating.

So like a business, focus on the core issue.

The link above will take you to an article about what things you should be shopping for at the grocery store to promote better nutrition – it’s worth the look.  And there are definitely places all over to shop for healthy items.  Kansas City alone has 3 supermarkets that are considered among the healthiest in America (according to Health.com) in Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Super Target.

Focus on making your shopping trips healthier, and meal-by-meal (the little numbers) – you’ll notice you’re getting healthier in your selection.  That should lead to some positive changes (the big numbers following suit) accompanying your workout results.

Check out the things I linked to in today’s post and feel free to ask us any questions if you want some personal guidance on the nutritional side of your training and fitness.  Just use the contact form in the upper right portion of this page, and someone will follow up with you shortly thereafter.

Enjoy your Monday!
