This month’s 21 day body transformation challenge got off to a rip roaring start. 21 days locked into a programme with your ´before´ body composition statistics. Including weight, body fat, bodily measurements and a photograph. We then give you a nutritional guide to stick to for the duration of the period and workout classes every day.
It has been really amazing to see the camaraderie amongst candidates – all encouraging one another; all in the challenge together. The group includes people from boats in Palma along other people based here.
The winners receive cash prizes, training prizes and a window of time for you to lose weight, get fit and be ready for your season.
Despite missing this month’s programme, we could also organise the same challenge for you and your boat, especially if you are based here for a window of time. We would use the same format; plugging you into everyday intensive exercise sessions and beginning with weigh in and measurements. Its a great way to kick start your fitness and see some great results.
Your gut only heals from inflammation and stress when you’re not eating. Period. This mantra was repeated in several other books as well. So I stand by my recommendation that you should engage in a 12-16 hour intermittent fast (also known as an 8-12 hour “compressed feeding window”) as many days of the year as possible, and on a couple days of the month, you should go for 24 hours without eating. During these times, water, minerals, a multi-vitamin and amino acids are fine.
LONDON BIOHACKING CONFERENCE
I am off to a biohacking conference this weekend in London to explore the small tricks we can take on in order to become healthier, fitter and enhance our quality of life.
Try this little health hack to make your gut bacteria healthier, reduce inflammation and lose weight:
Getting rid of gluten and gluten products from your nutrition:
The gluten contained in grains used in today´s breads, pastas and other carbohydrates can attack your immune system and cause pain and inflammation in the body and create vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Soaking and sprouting grains may help to break down the nasties they contain and make their nutrients more easily absorbed.
Leaving them out of your nutritional plan will leave you feeling better and help with weight loss. Many packages items contain traces of gluten along with corn ,rice and oats as well as vegetable oils and the truvia brand of stevia.
Eat natural foods like sweet potatoes, brightly coloured vegetables and soaked nuts and seeds.
As good bread alternatives try wrapping your sandwich ingredients in steamed cabbage leaves, endive, lettuce like iceberg, Nori sheets, grilled portobello mushrooms or sliced and grilled aubergine.
