The Right Fuel for the Job

How can nutrition assist?

Whether you are attending car shows or racing 500 miles you need to feel good to enjoy the event and/or perform well.  Same goes when training for any sporting event.  

If you're down for long periods of recovery, you're not building the strength and stamina needed to reach the Checkered Flag.

For this reason we choose, stock, & recommend a SOLID FOUNDATION for the framework.

This Foundation provides the HIGH OCTANE FUEL needed for HUMAN ENGINES so we get OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.

It Just Keeps Coming Back!

Reduce your Intake and Pack on the Pounds!

A common mistake many make while trying to drop unwanted pounds is to NOT keep up the calorie count when increasing your activity, or just plain starving themselves.  Yes, you need to burn more calories than you consume, however, if you eat too few your body retaliates.

It takes more fuel to go faster farther!

I've run into SO many people who have told me "I've cut wayyyyy back on my eating and I'm not losing weight." - Then when they go back to normal eating they pack on the pounds quicker.

How can that be?

MUSCLE == METABOLISM

When the body doesn't get enough calories it goes into starvation mode which changes how the body processes what little food you are giving it.  The body begins to burn muscle for energy while packing on and saving the fat as a defense mechanism. As your muscle mass is reduced, so is your metabolism, your body begins packing on FAT and your energy levels drop.  Since your metabolism is slower, when you resume eating "normal" levels the body packs on fat. (It assumes you will not be able to eat again soon)  Thus your pants are too tight.

Now, your energy levels begin to to drop, your BUTT IS DRAGGIN, your eyes are drooping & you suck down a calorie laced energy drink to get through the day.

 Since your metabolism is slower, when you resume eating "normal" levels the body packs on fat. (It assumes you will not be able to eat again soon)  Thus your pants are too tight.

Fat weighs 2x as much as Muscle

If your goal is to LOSE weight and KEEP IT OFF, then a sound balance between High Octane fuel input and a gradual increase in activity is your vehicle of choice.

We've found, use, stock, and recommend a line of products that make this transition EASIER & MORE PERMANENT.   I know, I lost 55 pounds & have kept it off for almost 5 years now.

Call me for an estimate!  Lets get that Frame on Restoration started and get your HUMAN Engine primed to build those CALORIE BURNING MUSCLES & BURN THAT FAT.

Can you out run the Monkey?

Choose your race, any race!

Activity is a great way to relieve stress, thus outrunning the monkey of stress & leaving it far behind.  Choose your race/activity, set a goal, work toward it and in the words of Zig Zigler, "Keep on keeping on" until you get there!

This month we will discuss athletics and sports nutrition to stay healthy while training and participating...

Step 1:  Choose something.  (I choose distance walking - 60 miles at times - but I didn't start there.) :-)

Step 2:  How far will you take it? Is the activity just for fun or would you like to compete?

Our family loves motor sports of all kinds, (I'm a bit annoyed by drifting - why waste those tires like that?) but my husband's main focus is sportsman drag racing and the occasional car show. For this reason, we don't tune the car for a 500 mile race.  

Your Human Engine is the same! We need to tune our human engine for the sport we choose.  Training and practice is far different for a Marathon, a 5K, or a 60 mile walk!   (duhhh) :-)  

The one common denominator is that your engine needs fuel!  High quality food = high quality performance.

Have a GREAT week and stop by our FaceBook page and let us know what your activity for the new year will be... (boot camp, a marathon, join our 60-mile team, a triathlon, joining a volleyball league, etc.)

Thank you, Uncle Walt Haste for
another GREAT Photo!
