This means that ingredients closest to the end of the list are present in the smallest quantities. As a general rule, fewer ingredients on the food label means that food is a better choice.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">A food label sample has been used below and colour coded to explain what the different sections of the of the nutrition label (Fazila, n.d.)</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ingredients to Avoid</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3722.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1897 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3722-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"Portion control - weight loss - fat loss - holistic nutrition - nutrition - Nanaimo - Nanaimo nutrition - ingredient to avoid - food label - how to read a food label\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" /></a>Trans Fat</strong>: Look for the words “hydrogenated” and/or “fractionated”. Nearly all fast foods, baked goods, many packaged crackers, and margarines contain trans fats. Even on a label, if one serving size of food contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fats, the manufacturer can claim it to be trans fat free.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene): </strong> These additives are often found in breakfast cereals, chips, gum and even vegetable oil to maintain freshness. Some animal studies reveal that BHA and BHT may cause cancer.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Food Colourings: </strong> Any brightly coloured packaged food is likely to contain food colouring. Some ingredients to be aware of are: Brilliant Blue FCFC, often found in beverages, candy, cereal, etc.; Indigotine (beverages, candy); Erythrosine (cherries in fruit cocktail, candy); Brilliant Yellow FCF (sausages, candy, gelatin desserts). Be aware that the label may only read “colour,” but one of the above is likely used. Studies indicate these artificial dyes can lead to cancer of the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, and brain. These substances are also believed to worsen hyperactivity symptoms in sensitive children.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Natural and Artificial Flavours: </strong>Both terms are unfavourable. While natural flavouring sounds “natural,” it is not. Title 21, Section 101, part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines natural flavourings and flavours as follows: The term natural flavour or natural flavouring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, eating or enzymolsysis, which contains the flavouring constituents derived from a spice, fruit, or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavouring rather than nutritional.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Artificial Sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, acesulfamepotassium, etc.):</strong>  Individuals who are attempting to lose weight may rely on artificial sweeteners to replace the calories found in sugar. Artificial sweeteners are prevalent in many packaged foods and drinks. There are a number of reasons to eliminate artificial sweeteners from the diet, including they may contribute to cancers, some individuals may experience blurry vision, GI distress, and migraine headaches. As well, a study conducted at Purdue University showed that rats whose diets contained artificial sweeteners appeared to experience a physiological connection between sweet tastes and calories, which drove them to overeat.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Sodium Nitrate (becoming nitrite): </strong> This additive is found in processed meats such as bacon, ham, and hot dogs. It is used as a preservative and for colouring, giving some processed meats a reddish colour that would otherwise appear grey. This ingredient can cause the formation of nitrosamines, which are cancer causing chemicals. Sodium nitrate has also been shown to increase the incidence of migraines.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Sugar: </strong> Food manufacturers know that many people are trying to reduce their consumption of added sugar. To market their products, they often manipulate the reality of the sugar profile in their products. For examples, they may use multiple sources of sugar in one food product to give the appearance of less sugar overall (e.g. high fructose corn syrup, brown rice syrup, honey, molasses, brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, glucose, invert sugar, malt, maltodextrin, and maltose).</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Vegetable Oils: </strong> All processed oils used in pre-packaged, processed foods should be avoided. The polyunsaturated oils used in packaged foods are highly processed and may cause more cardiovascular and bodily harm than the saturated fats they replaced.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Portion Control</h3>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3731.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-1898 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3731-300x231.png\" alt=\"Portion control - weight loss - fat loss - holistic nutrition - nutrition - Nanaimo - Nanaimo nutrition - ingredient to avoid - food label - how to read a food label\" width=\"190\" height=\"146\" /></a>Portion control is second to food choice in importance when the goal is weight loss.

As a general rule, fewer ingredients on the food label means that food is a better choice.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">A food label sample has been used below and colour coded to explain what the different sections of the of the nutrition label (Fazila, n.d.)</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ingredients to Avoid</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3722.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1897 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3722-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"Portion control - weight loss - fat loss - holistic nutrition - nutrition - Nanaimo - Nanaimo nutrition - ingredient to avoid - food label - how to read a food label\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" /></a>Trans Fat</strong>: Look for the words “hydrogenated” and/or “fractionated”. Nearly all fast foods, baked goods, many packaged crackers, and margarines contain trans fats. Even on a label, if one serving size of food contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fats, the manufacturer can claim it to be trans fat free.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene): </strong> These additives are often found in breakfast cereals, chips, gum and even vegetable oil to maintain freshness. Some animal studies reveal that BHA and BHT may cause cancer.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Food Colourings: </strong> Any brightly coloured packaged food is likely to contain food colouring. Some ingredients to be aware of are: Brilliant Blue FCFC, often found in beverages, candy, cereal, etc.; Indigotine (beverages, candy); Erythrosine (cherries in fruit cocktail, candy); Brilliant Yellow FCF (sausages, candy, gelatin desserts). Be aware that the label may only read “colour,” but one of the above is likely used. Studies indicate these artificial dyes can lead to cancer of the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, and brain. These substances are also believed to worsen hyperactivity symptoms in sensitive children.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Natural and Artificial Flavours: </strong>Both terms are unfavourable. While natural flavouring sounds “natural,” it is not. Title 21, Section 101, part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines natural flavourings and flavours as follows: The term natural flavour or natural flavouring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, eating or enzymolsysis, which contains the flavouring constituents derived from a spice, fruit, or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavouring rather than nutritional.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Artificial Sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, acesulfamepotassium, etc.):</strong>  Individuals who are attempting to lose weight may rely on artificial sweeteners to replace the calories found in sugar. Artificial sweeteners are prevalent in many packaged foods and drinks. There are a number of reasons to eliminate artificial sweeteners from the diet, including they may contribute to cancers, some individuals may experience blurry vision, GI distress, and migraine headaches. As well, a study conducted at Purdue University showed that rats whose diets contained artificial sweeteners appeared to experience a physiological connection between sweet tastes and calories, which drove them to overeat.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Sodium Nitrate (becoming nitrite): </strong> This additive is found in processed meats such as bacon, ham, and hot dogs. It is used as a preservative and for colouring, giving some processed meats a reddish colour that would otherwise appear grey. This ingredient can cause the formation of nitrosamines, which are cancer causing chemicals. Sodium nitrate has also been shown to increase the incidence of migraines.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Sugar: </strong> Food manufacturers know that many people are trying to reduce their consumption of added sugar. To market their products, they often manipulate the reality of the sugar profile in their products. For examples, they may use multiple sources of sugar in one food product to give the appearance of less sugar overall (e.g. high fructose corn syrup, brown rice syrup, honey, molasses, brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, glucose, invert sugar, malt, maltodextrin, and maltose).</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Vegetable Oils: </strong> All processed oils used in pre-packaged, processed foods should be avoided. The polyunsaturated oils used in packaged foods are highly processed and may cause more cardiovascular and bodily harm than the saturated fats they replaced.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3731.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-1898 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3731-300x231.png\" alt=\"Portion control - weight loss - fat loss - holistic nutrition - nutrition - Nanaimo - Nanaimo nutrition - ingredient to avoid - food label - how to read a food label\" width=\"246\" height=\"189\" /></a>Portion Control</h3>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Portion control is second to food choice in importance when the goal is weight loss.

Sticking to animal proteins and plants because the human digestive system was never designed to handle the refined sugars, starchy carbohydrates, grains, legumes, and dairy products that have slowly entered our diets over the past 10,000 years, increasing waistlines and the risk of disease.

If there is not enough glucose in the bloodstream due to low-carbohydrate intake, the body draws on fat stores for fuel.</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Low-calorie diets </strong>(Ex: Okinawa diet, Body for Life, Cookie diet, Hacker\'s diet, Nutri system, Weight Watchers diet, Jenny Craig diet...)</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\">A low-calorie or calorie-restriction diet is a dietary regimen based on reduced calorie intake, without malnutrition, has been shown to slow the biological aging process, resulting in longer maintenance of youthful health and an increase in both median and maximum lifespan.</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Alkaline Diets</strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images-1.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1930 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"281\" height=\"179\" /></a>Body acidity is an emerging concept in nutrition. Many North Americans are living in a state of permanent and systemic acidity, largely due to food and lifestyle choices. Foods are either acidic or alkaline. This grading is determined by burning a food down to ash and measuring the pH of the ash – a number of 7 or lower indicates acidity; 7 to 14 are considered alkaline. Stress can also push the body into an acid state, as does the shallow quick breathing that often goes hand in hand with stress. Environmental factors such as pollution, poor air quality, detergents and toxins can create an acid load in the body, (e.g. intense exercise training sessions).</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Hormone diets </strong>(Example: Glyci-Med Approach diet)</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\">Acknowledge hormones as influencers behind whether weight gain, weight loss, and weight maintenance is essential when considering weight loss and nutrition. These potent chemicals are produced by the body to manage everything from breathing to digestion to sexual responses and more. At the same time, our hormones are influenced by myriad factors, including exercise, diet, sleep, stress, and even the everyday chemicals that we are exposed to in soaps and cosmetics.<strong><em> These diet moves away from focusing on caloric intake and does not consider the source of our calories. It also supports the notion that health is not achieved through weight loss, but rather weight loss is achieved when the body is in a healthy position to lose weight – and keep it off.</em> </strong>Since hormones are the key to controlling appetite and stimulating metabolism, attaining and maintaining hormonal balance is essential for achieving lasting weight loss. <strong>Diet and exercise are important, but so are sleeping well, reducing toxin exposure, maintaining healthy liver function, optimizing digestion, limiting stress, and conquering inflammation. All of these factors can influence hormonal activity — and weight-loss success — in dramatic ways.</strong>  The Glyci-Med Approach is a diet that can be followed for a lifetime as a means of creating a lasting blood sugar and hormonal balance. This solution combines attributes of the Mediterranean diet, which is high in healthy fats and lower in carbohydrates, with principles of glycemically balanced eating. For instance, protein is a necessary building block for many hormones including serotonin, melatonin, growth hormone, thyroid hormone, and dopamine.<strong> Lack of protein in the diet can lead to mood disorders, memory loss, increased appetite and cravings, decreased metabolism, sleep disruption, muscle loss, and weight gain.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Food group excluding diets</h3>\r\n<p class=\"western\">Food group excluding diets remove a food group due to choice, belief, religion, or sensitivity, not always to lose weight. This includes vegetarianism, gluten-free, as well as belief-based, non weight-loss eating such as kosher (food prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary laws), or halal (foods that are allowed under Islamic dietary guidelines).</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Vegetarian diets</strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1-1.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1931 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"268\" height=\"188\" /></a>Vegetarianism is the practice of consuming primarily plant foods. Vegetarians abstain from consuming meat products, including red meats, poultry and seafood. It may also include abstention from animal by-products such as animal-derived rennet and gelatin (The VegetarianSociety, n.d.). An ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products. A lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs. An ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products and eggs. Those following a vegan diet avoid all animal-derived products, including eggs, honey and dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter and yogurt.</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>The gluten-free diet</strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-3.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1932 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-3.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"296\" height=\"170\" /></a>Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale (a hybrid mix of rye and wheat). Gluten is also an additive to many foods, and this diet excludes all gluten-containing products. While oats are gluten free themselves, they can be contaminated by contact with gluten-containing grains during processing. The dietary intake also excludes casein, a protein found most often in milk and dairy products. Some less obvious sources of gluten are beer, croutons, marinades, sauces, and some salad dressings. The gluten-free diet is one that eliminates foods containing gluten. This diet is indicated for those with celiac disease, defined by the Canadian Celiac Association as a “medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten,” as well as individuals with an allergy to gluten.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Crash diets or fad diets (often negative)</h3>\r\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1921 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"208\" height=\"232\" /></a>They describe diet plans that involve making extreme, rapid changes to food consumption or promote eating habits that can be unhealthy. These diets are typically extreme in terms of nutritional deprivation, often severely restricting overall daily caloric intake. The idea is to achieve rapid weight loss, and the diet is not meant as a means for lasting change. These diets are often viewed as quick-fix solutions, contrary to the belief of many who use this type of diet; this way of eating is neither healthy nor largely successful for achieving long-term weight loss, <strong>as it can provoke a slowdown of the body\'s basal metabolic rate.</strong> <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/400x400_MIMAGE7ac620d6204c02db1ce4d35338fb1a7f.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1923 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/400x400_MIMAGE7ac620d6204c02db1ce4d35338fb1a7f-300x135.jpg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"300\" height=\"135\" /></a><strong>Usually, the dieter will see some initial weight loss; however, that weight is usually regained quickly in the weeks that follow, as individuals revert to their original pre-diet habits.</strong> Within this vicious cycle, more weight is often regained than originally lost, which may send the dieter spiralling back into extreme habits. This roller coaster of weight lost and then regained, then lost then regained can pose health risks.

These substances include food colourings, pesticides, and preservatives. The premise of these diets is to cleanse or detoxify the system. Detox diets can involve extreme limitation of foods. For example, some fasting-type detox diets prescribe only water or juice and usually promote elimination of processed foods. A detox diet is often high in fibre, which is said to cause the body to burn accumulated stored fats, releasing fat-stored \"toxins\" into the blood, which can then be eliminated through the blood, skin, urine, feces, and breath.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Important Points to remember:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1919 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"236\" height=\"213\" /></a>Research proves that old fat stored around the belly, thighs or butt cannot be burned off effectively unless new healthy fat comes in via food or from the liver.</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\">Eating to maintain stable blood sugar, which ultimately stimulates less insulin release.

In fact, weight loss is almost impossible when insulin levels are too high.</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\">Those who eat frequently, at the right times, and consume protein, healthy fat, fibre and low glycemic carbohydrates together at every meal will achieve glycemic balance.</li>\r\n</ul>', 'Dieting; Paleo, Vegan, Gluten Free, Detox... so many different forms of diet.

If there is not enough glucose in the bloodstream due to low-carbohydrate intake, the body draws on fat stores for fuel.</p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Low-calorie diets </strong>(Ex: Okinawa diet, Body for Life, Cookie diet, Hacker\'s diet, Nutri system, Weight Watchers diet, Jenny Craig diet...)</p>\n<p class=\"western\">A low-calorie or calorie-restriction diet is a dietary regimen based on reduced calorie intake, without malnutrition, has been shown to slow the biological aging process, resulting in longer maintenance of youthful health and an increase in both median and maximum lifespan.</p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Alkaline Diets</strong></p>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images-1.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1930 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"281\" height=\"179\" /></a>Body acidity is an emerging concept in nutrition. Many North Americans are living in a state of permanent and systemic acidity, largely due to food and lifestyle choices. Foods are either acidic or alkaline. This grading is determined by burning a food down to ash and measuring the pH of the ash – a number of 7 or lower indicates acidity; 7 to 14 are considered alkaline. Stress can also push the body into an acid state, as does the shallow quick breathing that often goes hand in hand with stress. Environmental factors such as pollution, poor air quality, detergents and toxins can create an acid load in the body, (e.g. intense exercise training sessions).</p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Hormone diets </strong>(Example: Glyci-Med Approach diet)</p>\n<p class=\"western\">Acknowledge hormones as influencers behind whether weight gain, weight loss, and weight maintenance is essential when considering weight loss and nutrition. These potent chemicals are produced by the body to manage everything from breathing to digestion to sexual responses and more. At the same time, our hormones are influenced by myriad factors, including exercise, diet, sleep, stress, and even the everyday chemicals that we are exposed to in soaps and cosmetics.<strong><em> These diet moves away from focusing on caloric intake and does not consider the source of our calories. It also supports the notion that health is not achieved through weight loss, but rather weight loss is achieved when the body is in a healthy position to lose weight – and keep it off.</em> </strong>Since hormones are the key to controlling appetite and stimulating metabolism, attaining and maintaining hormonal balance is essential for achieving lasting weight loss. <strong>Diet and exercise are important, but so are sleeping well, reducing toxin exposure, maintaining healthy liver function, optimizing digestion, limiting stress, and conquering inflammation. All of these factors can influence hormonal activity — and weight-loss success — in dramatic ways.</strong>  The Glyci-Med Approach is a diet that can be followed for a lifetime as a means of creating a lasting blood sugar and hormonal balance. This solution combines attributes of the Mediterranean diet, which is high in healthy fats and lower in carbohydrates, with principles of glycemically balanced eating. For instance, protein is a necessary building block for many hormones including serotonin, melatonin, growth hormone, thyroid hormone, and dopamine.<strong> Lack of protein in the diet can lead to mood disorders, memory loss, increased appetite and cravings, decreased metabolism, sleep disruption, muscle loss, and weight gain.</strong></p>\n\n<h3 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Food group excluding diets</h3>\n<p class=\"western\">Food group excluding diets remove a food group due to choice, belief, religion, or sensitivity, not always to lose weight. This includes vegetarianism, gluten-free, as well as belief-based, non weight-loss eating such as kosher (food prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary laws), or halal (foods that are allowed under Islamic dietary guidelines).</p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Vegetarian diets</strong></p>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1-1.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1931 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"268\" height=\"188\" /></a>Vegetarianism is the practice of consuming primarily plant foods. Vegetarians abstain from consuming meat products, including red meats, poultry and seafood. It may also include abstention from animal by-products such as animal-derived rennet and gelatin (The VegetarianSociety, n.d.). An ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products. A lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs. An ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products and eggs. Those following a vegan diet avoid all animal-derived products, including eggs, honey and dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter and yogurt.</p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>The gluten-free diet</strong></p>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-3.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1932 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-3.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"296\" height=\"170\" /></a>Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale (a hybrid mix of rye and wheat). Gluten is also an additive to many foods, and this diet excludes all gluten-containing products. While oats are gluten free themselves, they can be contaminated by contact with gluten-containing grains during processing. The dietary intake also excludes casein, a protein found most often in milk and dairy products. Some less obvious sources of gluten are beer, croutons, marinades, sauces, and some salad dressings. The gluten-free diet is one that eliminates foods containing gluten. This diet is indicated for those with celiac disease, defined by the Canadian Celiac Association as a “medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten,” as well as individuals with an allergy to gluten.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Crash diets or fad diets (often negative)</h3>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1921 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/download-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"208\" height=\"232\" /></a>They describe diet plans that involve making extreme, rapid changes to food consumption or promote eating habits that can be unhealthy. These diets are typically extreme in terms of nutritional deprivation, often severely restricting overall daily caloric intake. The idea is to achieve rapid weight loss, and the diet is not meant as a means for lasting change. These diets are often viewed as quick-fix solutions, contrary to the belief of many who use this type of diet; this way of eating is neither healthy nor largely successful for achieving long-term weight loss, <strong>as it can provoke a slowdown of the body\'s basal metabolic rate.</strong> <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/400x400_MIMAGE7ac620d6204c02db1ce4d35338fb1a7f.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1923 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/400x400_MIMAGE7ac620d6204c02db1ce4d35338fb1a7f-300x135.jpg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"300\" height=\"135\" /></a><strong>Usually, the dieter will see some initial weight loss; however, that weight is usually regained quickly in the weeks that follow, as individuals revert to their original pre-diet habits.</strong> Within this vicious cycle, more weight is often regained than originally lost, which may send the dieter spiralling back into extreme habits. This roller coaster of weight lost and then regained, then lost then regained can pose health risks. Some crash or fad diets include: The Beverly Hills Diet, The Cabbage Soup Diet, Grapefruit Diet, The Israeli Army Diet, The Subway Diet, The Watermelon Diet...</p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Detoxification diets</strong></p>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Detox-Diet-A-Basic-Understanding.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1933 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Detox-Diet-A-Basic-Understanding-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>Most detox diets claim to have a detoxifying effect on the body deemed necessary because food is often “contaminated” by various unnecessary, potentially harmful ingredients. These substances include food colourings, pesticides, and preservatives. The premise of these diets is to cleanse or detoxify the system. Detox diets can involve extreme limitation of foods. For example, some fasting-type detox diets prescribe only water or juice and usually promote elimination of processed foods. A detox diet is often high in fibre, which is said to cause the body to burn accumulated stored fats, releasing fat-stored \"toxins\" into the blood, which can then be eliminated through the blood, skin, urine, feces, and breath.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Important Points to remember:</h3>\n<ul>\n 	<li class=\"western\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-1919 size-full\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/images.jpeg\" alt=\"Dieting, Nutrition, Nanaimo Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Diet, Weight loss, Weight loss Nanaimo, what to eat, lose fat, be healthy, choose2be\" width=\"236\" height=\"213\" /></a>Research proves that old fat stored around the belly, thighs or butt cannot be burned off effectively unless new healthy fat comes in via food or from the liver.</li>\n 	<li class=\"western\">Eating to maintain stable blood sugar, which ultimately stimulates less insulin release.

Furthermore, preservatives, stabilizers, sweeteners, and added flavours used in many packaged foods may contain dangerous substances.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3720.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1899 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3720-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"Portion control - weight loss - fat loss - holistic nutrition - nutrition - Nanaimo - Nanaimo nutrition - ingredient to avoid - food label - how to read a food label\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" /></a>On all packaged foods, ingredients are listed in descending order of proportion of weight. This means that ingredients closest to the end of the list are present in the smallest quantities. As a general rule, fewer ingredients on the food label means that food is a better choice.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">A food label sample has been used below and colour coded to explain what the different sections of the of the nutrition label (Fazila, n.d.)</p>\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ingredients to Avoid</h3>\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3722.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1897 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3722-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"Portion control - weight loss - fat loss - holistic nutrition - nutrition - Nanaimo - Nanaimo nutrition - ingredient to avoid - food label - how to read a food label\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" /></a>Trans Fat</strong>: Look for the words “hydrogenated” and/or “fractionated”. Nearly all fast foods, baked goods, many packaged crackers, and margarines contain trans fats. Even on a label, if one serving size of food contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fats, the manufacturer can claim it to be trans fat free.</li>\n 	<li><strong>BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene): </strong> These additives are often found in breakfast cereals, chips, gum and even vegetable oil to maintain freshness. Some animal studies reveal that BHA and BHT may cause cancer.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Food Colourings: </strong> Any brightly coloured packaged food is likely to contain food colouring. Some ingredients to be aware of are: Brilliant Blue FCFC, often found in beverages, candy, cereal, etc.; Indigotine (beverages, candy); Erythrosine (cherries in fruit cocktail, candy); Brilliant Yellow FCF (sausages, candy, gelatin desserts). Be aware that the label may only read “colour,” but one of the above is likely used. Studies indicate these artificial dyes can lead to cancer of the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, and brain. These substances are also believed to worsen hyperactivity symptoms in sensitive children.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Natural and Artificial Flavours: </strong>Both terms are unfavourable. While natural flavouring sounds “natural,” it is not. Title 21, Section 101, part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines natural flavourings and flavours as follows: The term natural flavour or natural flavouring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, eating or enzymolsysis, which contains the flavouring constituents derived from a spice, fruit, or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavouring rather than nutritional.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Artificial Sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, acesulfamepotassium, etc.):</strong>  Individuals who are attempting to lose weight may rely on artificial sweeteners to replace the calories found in sugar. Artificial sweeteners are prevalent in many packaged foods and drinks. There are a number of reasons to eliminate artificial sweeteners from the diet, including they may contribute to cancers, some individuals may experience blurry vision, GI distress, and migraine headaches. As well, a study conducted at Purdue University showed that rats whose diets contained artificial sweeteners appeared to experience a physiological connection between sweet tastes and calories, which drove them to overeat.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Sodium Nitrate (becoming nitrite): </strong> This additive is found in processed meats such as bacon, ham, and hot dogs. It is used as a preservative and for colouring, giving some processed meats a reddish colour that would otherwise appear grey. This ingredient can cause the formation of nitrosamines, which are cancer causing chemicals. Sodium nitrate has also been shown to increase the incidence of migraines.</li>\n 	<li><strong>Sugar: </strong> Food manufacturers know that many people are trying to reduce their consumption of added sugar. To market their products, they often manipulate the reality of the sugar profile in their products. For examples, they may use multiple sources of sugar in one food product to give the appearance of less sugar overall (e.g. high fructose corn syrup, brown rice syrup, honey, molasses, brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, glucose, invert sugar, malt, maltodextrin, and maltose).</li>\n 	<li><strong>Vegetable Oils: </strong> All processed oils used in pre-packaged, processed foods should be avoided. The polyunsaturated oils used in packaged foods are highly processed and may cause more cardiovascular and bodily harm than the saturated fats they replaced.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3731.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-1898 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_3731-300x231.png\" alt=\"Portion control - weight loss - fat loss - holistic nutrition - nutrition - Nanaimo - Nanaimo nutrition - ingredient to avoid - food label - how to read a food label\" width=\"246\" height=\"189\" /></a>Portion Control</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Portion control is second to food choice in importance when the goal is weight loss.

When I was 16, I was addicted to drugs, depressed, suffered from anxiety, and had an eating disorder. I was also facing potential jail time.

Many times in my life I have taken a huge risk knowing that somehow it will all work out. Faith is what turns dreams into realities. It removes fear and allows you to keep going in an upward spiral.

My superpower would be my creative passions for design and art. One of my favorite areas is Public Art. Public Art gives me an opportunity to start a conversation about important topics.  A quote that I asp<i>ire to is, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It\'s not</i>.” - Dr. Suess. </span></p>\r\n<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>\r\n<p class=\"gmail-p1\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\">My cheat treat would be taking a hot bath, and painting my toenails!

As a group exercise expert, you will assist club members in a fun and motivating setting. A qualified Fitness Instructor Specialist can lead groups in various formats of cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength and endurance training, stretching and relaxation, or a calming cool-down. A canfitpro certified FIS is knowledgeable about different types of music, understands how to use music in a group setting, keeps current on the latest fitness trends and is able to give generalized advice about healthy living. </span></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>The Fitness Instructor Specialist Course</b></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">This is a comprehensive 25-hour course that will increase your knowledge and confidence level to lead a group fitness class to music. </span></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #666666;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>Topics include:</b></span></span></span></span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Aspects of fitness, wellness and basic training principles</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Fitness theory: skeletal, muscular, neurological, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Kinesiology/anatomy in action and bioenergetics</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Components of a fitness class from the warm-up to the cool-down</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Musicality: phrasing, cueing and appropriate music selection</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Leadership and motivation skills</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Special populations and injuries</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>The Fitness Instructor Specialist Course Manual</b></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Canfitpro has worked with two of Canada\'s top fitness professionals to develop an excellent manual to be used for the Fitness Instructor Specialist course and exam.

This time frame is recommended in order to allow candidates to properly prepare for the exam. Those who choose the option to progress and become a certified Fitness Instructor Specialist will complete a theory and a practical exam. These two components assess the candidate\'s knowledge, teaching ability, and skills to lead a safe and fun fitness class. The theory exam consists of 75 multiple choice questions and short answer questions. The practical exam is an actual fitness class demonstration evaluated by your PRO TRAINER. </span></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>A Certified Fitness Instructor Specialist Provides<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2020 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit-300x254.jpg\" alt=\"Canadien Fitness Professional - Can Fit Pro - CanFitPro - FIS - Fitness Instructor Specialist - Group Fitness Class - Nanaimo - Certification Nanaimo - Specialist Nanaimo - Fitness Instructor - Fitness Specialist - Nanaimo - Bootcamp Nanaimo - Personal Training Nanaimo - Personal Trainer Nanaimo - Yoga Nanaimo - Career Fitness\" width=\"300\" height=\"254\" /></a></b></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">A dynamic fitness class that is safe and fun to join</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Exercise modifications for various levels of participants</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">A motivational exercise environment</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">A variety of class formats (step, low impact, boxing, muscle conditioning)</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Effective exercise demonstration and instruction</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Support and encouragement for all participants</span></span></span></span></p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>How to Register</b></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\">Participants register via the CanFit Pro Online Registration website directly </span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><b>(not through Campus Rec).</b></span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"> Online registration for the November 24-26</span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\">th</span></sup><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"> dates offered at VIU will be available in October 2017.

She appear to be a really humble and grounded person. We became friend on social media and I\'ve been mind blow by her flexibility and commitment to the yoga practice. Recently she open island Ashtanga yoga studio in Nanaimo and confirm me her commitment to the practice. Check out her new studio <a href=\"http://www.islandashtanga.com\">www.islandashtanga.com</a> and go learn from her.

I live in my head and it is a constant effort to come back to the present and my body. Plus, it makes me feel good about myself.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_3799.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1986 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_3799-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga Nanaimo - Ashtanga Yoga Nanaimo - Yoga Instructor Nanaimo - Nanaimo - Yoga studio Nanaimo - Candace Gravelle\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>What activity/workout do you prefer?</strong>\r\n\r\nYoga is a daily practice for me. Outside of that, I like skipping, hiking and pole dance fitness.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your biggest accomplishment?</strong>\r\n\r\nDoing a complete 180 in my life. When I was 16, I was addicted to drugs, depressed, suffered from anxiety, and had an eating disorder. I was also facing potential jail time. Fortunately I ended up in treatment and was introduced to yoga. 11 years later I have opened Nanaimo\'s first Ashtanga Yoga studio. If I can change so dramatically, truly anyone can.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_3794.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-1987 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_3794-90x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga Nanaimo - Ashtanga Yoga Nanaimo - Yoga Instructor Nanaimo - Nanaimo - Yoga studio Nanaimo - Candace Gravelle\" width=\"90\" height=\"300\" /></a>What is your superpower?</strong>\r\n\r\nFaith. Many times in my life I have taken a huge risk knowing that somehow it will all work out. Faith is what turns dreams into realities. It removes fear and allows you to keep going in an upward spiral. Of course you have to put in effort, but at some point you have to surrender to something greater than yourself and believe that it will work itself out.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite cheat treat?</strong>\r\n\r\nDark chocolate and if we are being honest, ALL the dark chocolate.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is your favourite dish/recipe?</strong>\r\n\r\nSoups and Curries.

After practicing and being a part of the yoga community for several years, I truly believe our society (for the most part) offers only a small piece of what Yoga really is. People get bored or they feel like they have gotten all they need from the practice. They move on or become stagnant.\r\nIn a world full of misinformation, my belief is that Ashtanga is a complete method to reveal our greatest potential as individuals and as an interconnected, harmonious whole.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\n\r\nShow up.

To be honest I think it\'s because I move so much and been moving all my life. Since I was a kid I run, done competitive swimming, kickboxing and now I teach 10-20 group classes a week and try to maintain my own practice at home to keep me going. But I still love eating, the comfort and pleasure it brings!\r\n\r\nI use to move to eat and loved sweet but since I added more protein into my diet my sweet teeth is not as bad. I now see food as medicine and make sure I take in food that will bring me nourishment. I don’t restrict myself of any food really but make smart choices about the “cheat treat” I have. For example; I try to stay away from unhealthy sugar and eat energy balls or raw cake that I make instead. Also if I eat chips I try to choose non GMO potatoes and not flavoured with lots of chemical!\r\n\r\nMy family and I follow a vegetarian diet and are mostly gluten free. Why vegetarian? Mainly to help the planet because eating me as a heavy food print on our planet. We try to eat organic as much as possible, grow some of our food, and eat sauerkraut and alfalfa sprouts during the winter.\r\n\r\nOver the years I tried using different supplements. I wanted to share with you the ones I like the most, and I placed them in order that I would invest in them. I also want to share with you that I tried consuming product from Network marketing like Isagenix and I don’t believe you have to invest that much money to get a quality product. I purchase most of my product from Health Food Store, Costco and if you are on a budget go try the Green Store, they often carry discount products from a super reasonable price (be sure to check the expiration date though as eating expired vitamins is not a great idea!)\r\n\r\nHere are my top supplement choices:\r\n- Whey protein or Vegan Protein only sweetened with stevia\r\n- Multi vitamins\r\n- 3000-4000mg daily vitamin D\r\n- Omega 3\r\n- CLA\r\n- Chia seed; every night I soak 2 tbs in water and mix it in my morning smoothies)\r\n- Apple Cider vinegar; I usually drinking a full glass of water first thing in morning with apple cider vinegar to help my body stay in an alkaline state\r\n- Hemp seeds\r\n- Spirulina\r\n- Royal Jelly\r\n- Bee Pollen\r\n\r\nI hope this helps you on your journey.

When I was 16, I was addicted to drugs, depressed, suffered from anxiety, and had an eating disorder. I was also facing potential jail time.

After practicing and being a part of the yoga community for several years, I truly believe our society (for the most part) offers only a small piece of what Yoga really is. People get bored or they feel like they have gotten all they need from the practice. They move on or become stagnant.\r\nIn a world full of misinformation, my belief is that Ashtanga is a complete method to reveal our greatest potential as individuals and as an interconnected, harmonious whole.\r\n\r\n<strong>Advice for a newbie?</strong>\r\n\r\nShow up.

To be honest I think it\'s because I move so much and been moving all my life. Since I was a kid I run, done competitive swimming, kickboxing and now I teach 10-20 group classes a week and try to maintain my own practice at home to keep me going. But I still love eating, the comfort and pleasure it brings!\r\n\r\nI use to move to eat and loved sweet but since I added more protein into my diet my sweet teeth is not as bad. I now see food as medicine and make sure I take in food that will bring me nourishment. I don’t restrict myself of any food really but make smart choices about the “cheat treat” I have. For example; I try to stay away from unhealthy sugar and eat energy balls or raw cake that I make instead. Also if I eat chips I try to choose non GMO potatoes and not flavoured with lots of chemical!\r\n\r\nMy family and I follow a vegetarian diet and are mostly gluten free. Why vegetarian? Mainly to help the planet because eating me as a heavy food print on our planet. We try to eat organic as much as possible, grow some of our food, and eat sauerkraut and alfalfa sprouts during the winter.\r\n\r\nOver the years I tried using different supplements. I wanted to share with you the ones I like the most, and I placed them in order that I would invest in them. I also want to share with you that I tried consuming product from Network marketing like Isagenix and I don’t believe you have to invest that much money to get a quality product. I purchase most of my product from Health Food Store, Costco and if you are on a budget go try the Green Store, they often carry discount products from a super reasonable price (be sure to check the expiration date though as eating expired vitamins is not a great idea!)\r\n\r\nHere are my top supplement choices:\r\n- Whey protein or Vegan Protein only sweetened with stevia\r\n- Multi vitamins\r\n- 3000-4000mg daily vitamin D\r\n- Omega 3\r\n- CLA\r\n- Chia seed; every night I soak 2 tbs in water and mix it in my morning smoothies)\r\n- Apple Cider vinegar; I usually drinking a full glass of water first thing in morning with apple cider vinegar to help my body stay in an alkaline state\r\n- Hemp seeds\r\n- Spirulina\r\n- Royal Jelly\r\n- Bee Pollen\r\n\r\nI hope this helps you on your journey.

Bellydance helped me to create some body mind connection and engage accurately specific muscle I want to engage. For example; squeezing my glutes at different rhythms or just squeezing one at the time. I also learn to isolate different body part while stabilizing others.</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\">Bellydance definitely helped me to understand how my body can move, from 5 simple movement to all the complexity of movement combination that can happen from theses basics. I want to share theses basic movement with you.</p>\r\n<p class=\"western\">Your hips and torso can move into 5 basic movement pattern:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\"><strong>Sliding<a name=\"__DdeLink__2_1076333322\"></a> side to side</strong>: keeping the hips or torso parallel to the ground moving them side to side.</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\"><strong>Sliding forward and back</strong>: keeping the hips or torso parallel to the ground moving them forward and back.</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\"><strong>Tilting</strong>: you can tilt your hip while bending the knee. Your torso can also tilt side to side while going into side bend. One side will extend while the other side lengthen.</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\"><strong>Twisting</strong>: this action require lot of core activation. When you twist your hips, I also call this washing machine. When you twist the torso and speed it up, it can become the famous shoulder shimmy. I highly recommend you to practice this one while being immobile in your car and holding the steering wheel. Making sure you are not leaning back on the seat and the hip and well anchor on the seat.</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"western\"><strong><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/PelvicTiltBucket1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-2264 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/PelvicTiltBucket1-204x300.png\" alt=\"Yoga teacher Training, Yoga Teacher Training Nanaimo, Nanaimo, YTT, 200 hours YTT, 200 hours YTT Nanaimo, YTT Nanaimo, VIU, Vancouver Island University, Yoga Nanaimo, Yoga, Training, Training Nanaimo, Yoga Certification, Yoga Certification Nanaimo, Vinyasa Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga Nanaimo, Yin Yoga Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Personal Training Nanaimo, Personal Trainer Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Fitness class Nanaimo, Health Nanaimo, Nutrition Nanaimo, Wellness Nanaimo, Workout Nanaimo, Sculpt Nanaimo Can Fit Pro Certification, Fitness Instructor Specialist, Pro Trainer Nanaimo, Pro Trainer, Experience Yoga Instructor, Experience Yoga Teacher, Experience Yoga Instructor Nanaimo, Experience Yoga teacher Nanaimo\" width=\"102\" height=\"150\" /></a>In &amp; out also call tucking</strong>: this movement of the hip mainly use the lower abs to be able to tuck pelvis in while lengthening the lower back. Its such an important movement to understand especially to be able to do any core exercise safely. Same action is possible with the torso and it will mainly use the upper abs to create this movement. I highly recommend trying a Pilates class to help you better understand theses movement.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p class=\"western\">All the 5 movement basic describe above need the right mind body connection to be able to active the right muscle require while keeping the rest of the body stable. Try all of them slowly at first, in front of a mirror to see what you are doing. Sometime what we think we do and what we do are two completely different thing. Standing in front of a mirror will also help you to see the imbalance between both side of body and try to create symmetry. While I practice theses movement, I used to rest my hands on chair placed beside me so I could fully rest my upper body and created good posture.

Many of the movement involve body isolations, which improve flexibility of the torso, spine and hips. The full-body undulations lengthen and strengthen the entire spine and abdominal muscles in a gentle way.  There are many styles of bellydance from traditional, raks sharki, fusion, and tribal... You can also dance with various props like canes, zills, veils, shamadan, and fans. All theses can help build strength in the upper body and playing the zills trains fingers to work independently, exercising your brain as well! \n\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-calendar-group-fitness-classes/\">Click here</a> for my calendar of current classes.\n</div>\n		</div></div></div><div id=\"pg-57-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-57-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.25\" ><div id=\"panel-57-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-2b1fadbace82\">\n\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n	<img src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bellyfit.jpg\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bellyfit.jpg?w=275 275w, https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bellyfit.jpg?resize=180%2C120 180w, https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bellyfit.jpg?resize=250%2C166 250w, https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Bellyfit.jpg?resize=272%2C182 272w\" alt=\"Zumba, Nanaimo, Choose2be, Personal Training, Group fitness classes, Bootcamp, workshop, circus, hula hoop, dance, poi, juggling, bellydance\" 		class=\"so-widget-image\"/>\n</div>\n\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-57-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.75\" ><div id=\"panel-57-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Bellyfit</h3>			<div class=\"textwidget\">﻿﻿Bellyfit® is the world\'s leading holistic fitness system for women.

As a group exercise expert, you will assist club members in a fun and motivating setting. A qualified Fitness Instructor Specialist can lead groups in various formats of cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength and endurance training, stretching and relaxation, or a calming cool-down. A canfitpro certified FIS is knowledgeable about different types of music, understands how to use music in a group setting, keeps current on the latest fitness trends and is able to give generalized advice about healthy living. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>The Fitness Instructor Specialist Course</b></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">This is a comprehensive 25-hour course that will increase your knowledge and confidence level to lead a group fitness class to music. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #666666;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>Topics include:</b></span></span></span></span></p><ul><li><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Aspects of fitness, wellness and basic training principles</span></span></span></span></p></li><li><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Fitness theory: skeletal, muscular, neurological, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems</span></span></span></span></p></li><li><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Kinesiology/anatomy in action and bioenergetics</span></span></span></span></p></li><li><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Components of a fitness class from the warm-up to the cool-down</span></span></span></span></p></li><li><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Musicality: phrasing, cueing and appropriate music selection</span></span></span></span></p></li><li><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Leadership and motivation skills</span></span></span></span></p></li><li><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Special populations and injuries</span></span></span></span></p></li></ul><p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>The Fitness Instructor Specialist Course Manual</b></span></span></span></span></span></p><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Canfitpro has worked with two of Canada\'s top fitness professionals to develop an excellent manual to be used for the Fitness Instructor Specialist course and exam.

This time frame is recommended in order to allow candidates to properly prepare for the exam. Those who choose the option to progress and become a certified Fitness Instructor Specialist will complete a theory and a practical exam. These two components assess the candidate\'s knowledge, teaching ability, and skills to lead a safe and fun fitness class. The theory exam consists of 75 multiple choice questions and short answer questions. The practical exam is an actual fitness class demonstration evaluated by your PRO TRAINER. </span></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en\"><b>A Certified Fitness Instructor Specialist Provides<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2020 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit-300x254.jpg\" alt=\"Canadien Fitness Professional - Can Fit Pro - CanFitPro - FIS - Fitness Instructor Specialist - Group Fitness Class - Nanaimo - Certification Nanaimo - Specialist Nanaimo - Fitness Instructor - Fitness Specialist - Nanaimo - Bootcamp Nanaimo - Personal Training Nanaimo - Personal Trainer Nanaimo - Yoga Nanaimo - Career Fitness\" width=\"300\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit.jpg?resize=300%2C254 300w, https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit.jpg?resize=180%2C152 180w, https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit.jpg?resize=250%2C212 250w, https://i1.wp.com/www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/canfit.jpg?w=325 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /></a></b></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">A dynamic fitness class that is safe and fun to join</span></span></span></span>\n</li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Exercise modifications for various levels of participants</span></span></span></span>\n</li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">A motivational exercise environment</span></span></span></span>\n</li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">A variety of class formats (step, low impact, boxing, muscle conditioning)</span></span></span></span>\n</li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Effective exercise demonstration and instruction</span></span></span></span>\n</li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00000a;\"><span style=\"color: #202020;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span lang=\"en\">Support and encouragement for all participants</span></span></span></span>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>How to Register</b></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\">Participants register via the CanFit Pro Online Registration website directly </span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"><b>(not through Campus Rec).</b></span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"> Online registration for the November 24-26</span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\">th</span></sup><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"> dates offered at VIU will be available in October 2017.

They are part of my <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-yoga-classes/\">Yoga</a> practice and my <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/product/global-bodyweight-athlete-training-program/\">Bodyweight Training Program</a> I even use some variations into my <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-group-fitness-classes-bootcamp-yoga-zumba/\">Bootcamp</a> sometime. Handstands are so exciting for me and full of surprises. Some days I am strong and balanced, while others day it doesn’t work. It requires lots of discipline and consistency to master this movement. You might need motivation before investing time into it. Here, I\'ve listed ten reasons why you could integrate handstands in your current training.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/handstand-full.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-904 size-medium\" title=\"handstand\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/handstand-full-185x300.jpg\" alt=\"handstand - yoga- bootcamp -personal training - nanaimo - bodyweight exercise - why practice them \" width=\"185\" height=\"300\" /></a>1- Did you know that practicing handstands could <strong>boost your mood</strong>? After researching about handstands I was surprise to discover that they can make you feel happier because of all the blood flowing to your brain. “They can help your mood in by reducing the production of the stress hormone, cortisol, which can not only de-stress you in the short-term but could also help relieve minor depression and anxiety.”<a href=\"http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-11284/5-reasons-you-should-do-handstands-every-day.html\">(1)</a></p>\r\n 2- Your bones will thank you. Handstands are a weight bearing exercise that <strong>strengthens your bones</strong> from wrist, shoulder, arms, and spine, making you less prone to osteoporosis.\r\n\r\n3 &amp; 4- Being upside down <strong>increases the circulation</strong> to your upper body and lungs and <strong>helps with breathing</strong> while stretching the diaphragm.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5- <strong>Connects all kinetic chain in your body</strong>; everything in your body is interconnected. Handstands require constant communication, neuromuscular efficiency, and amazing proprioception to maintain balance.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6- It will <strong>teach you total body tension</strong> and that will be transferable to other training you will do. They train your body to be one unit and increase activation and stabilization of all muscles, core, spine, shoulder girdle…</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7- Handstands can also <strong>stimulate the endocrine system</strong>. Your endocrine system is responsible for regulating mood, growth, development, tissue function, metabolism, sexual functions and other bodily functions. “When the body is turned upside down and blood moves to the head, the pituitary gland is stimulated which helps to set a point for healthy body weight. The inversion also brings blood to the thyroid glands to help regulate the production of T3 and T4 (thyroid hormones), which also affects metabolism.” <a href=\"http://www.livestrong.com/article/319675-the-many-benefits-of-handstands-for-health/\">(2)</a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8- Handstands can <strong>make you a better person. </strong>Seriously, practicing handstand can help you move through mental barriers and release fear. Handstands build confidence, perseverance and faith; you can bring theses qualities into your life. They will help you face the challenges in your life.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> 9- They <strong>bring you into present moment</strong>. If you don’t pay attention, you fall. You have to clear your mind, let go of mental chatter and pay attention to what is happening, because there is a lot happening!</p>\r\n10- Lastly; (you probably knew this one) handstands, <strong>build strength</strong>. As B.K.S. Iyengar, said, “it develops the body harmoniously. It strengthens the shoulders, arms and wrists and expands the chest fully.”\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to learn handstand I highly recommend you to watch the <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/product/hand-balancing-for-bodyweight-athlete/\">Hand Balancing program</a> from Mike Finch. He takes you through so many progressions and variations to develop strong handstand. Handstands are also part of my <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/product/global-bodyweight-athlete-training-program/\">Bodyweight athlete program</a>. You can also ask your <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-personal-training/\">personal trainer</a> and/or <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-yoga-classes/\">yoga</a> instructor to help you so you can progress faster.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also check the <a href=\"https://www.fitandme.com/benefits-of-handstands/\">9 benefits of handstand that will make you want to stand upside down</a>.</p>\r\nI also made this video of different variations I\'ve been practicing.
