Understanding the link between mood and food!

by Chris on October 4, 2011

Last night we kicked off round 2 of the Chisel Fitness 4 Week Detox Program.

Throughout the course of the program participants will be educated around making healthy food choices, whilst understanding feedback from their body to see how nutrition effects things such as our mood, digestive health, sleep quality and energy levels.

Use the space at the bottom of this post to leave comments about the first week and feel free to share you’re homework (let me hear some mantras!!!)

Any questions that you have can be emailed to me at chris@chisel-fitness.com.au and I will post answers on the blog.

Cheers

What the hell is quinoa?

by Chris on August 24, 2011

This week our detoxees are stepping away from gluten and excluding all wheat based products from their diet.

It’s a chance for them to experiment with other grains that are packed full of the goodness that our body requires and are good for our digestive system.  Quinoa is one these grains and we welcome anyone who has used quinoa to join us and share with some of their tips.

Here’s some photos of the goodies that Cindy has been cooking up down in Melbourne…all healthy and nutritious food that tastes amazing!

 

 

Have a great week and keep in touch

Clearing away the static – Week 3 detox

by Chris on August 17, 2011

This week our detoxees have been challenged to apply the psychology of the detox to other areas of their daily lives.

By recognising the power we have behind making decisions for ourselves, we can become focused towards effective positive change in other parts of our life, as well as making adjustments to our regular nutritional habits.

So how are they going…well I guess we’ll just have to wait and read the comments below to find out!

2nd week of detox – giving up the sweet poison!

by Chris on August 9, 2011

Perhaps one of the toughest weeks ahead for our detoxers as we give up sugar!

It’s a tough week because “they” seem to put this little bugger in just about everything.

Time to stay strong, maintain the power of choice and focus on the actions!!!

Looking forward to reading your comments along the way!

Cheers

Week 1 detox community has their say!

by Chris on August 2, 2011

So we’ve started the Chisel Fitness 4 week detox with our Week 1 notes being discussed last night.

Our detox community consists of both locals and people living interstate so these blog posts are a way that we can continue to communicate throughout the week.

Feel free to discuss your homework (I want to hear some mantras!!!), or comment on anything throughout the week.

Any questions that you have can be emailed to me at chris@chisel-fitness.com.au and I will post answers on the blog.

Remember…”you love Chisel Fitness and Chisel Fitness loves you!”  Haha!

Take care and speak soon,

4 weeks till Tomewin…time for a detox!!!

by Chris on July 27, 2011

So it’s just over 4 weeks now until Chisel’s very own Tomewin Mountain Challenge.

And because running up a big hill isnt’ a big enough challenge, we are taking it up a notch with our Chisel Fitness 4 week Detox Program

In many ways giving your body a chance to cleanse is like running up a big hill.  You know that you will feel better when you reach the top, but the journey along the way requires a little effort!

That’s why we’ve decided to help you with the challenge.  The Chisel Fitness 4 Week Detox Program is designed to educate and support you along your journey towards feeling great! 

Weekly emails, phone calls, recipes and homework tasks will guide you towards feeling better in your body, and having LOADS more energy throughout the day!

Call me on 0439 040 580 to book your place in the program or email me at chris@chisel-fitness.com.au

Program starts Monday 1st of August, and is open to anyone who wants to take part.  If you can’t make the meetings or don’t live on the Gold Coast you can still join in so be sure to book in now!

Cheers,
