'Pound Lost, Pound Donated'

'Pound Lost, Pound Donated' is an idea conceived to give the clients of LiveLife Personal Training some extra incentive to lose weight.

I like to give all the clients of LiveLife Personal Training the best chance of achieving their goals but I would like to reach out to a few more people that need help at the same time. Every client of LiveLife Personal Training that loses a pound towards their fat loss goal or gains a pound for their muscle developing goals will have a donation made on their behalf from LiveLife Personal Training of FIVE pounds.

To that end, I've set the goal of raising £10,000 or more for Marie Curie Cancer Care in the first three months of 2012

We are inviting anyone interested in fat loss or muscle gain to enter our 'Pound Lost, Pound Donated' challenge. You will receive our elite support and expert information resources to help you lose fat and gain muscle. As if that wasn't incentive enough you'll be raising money for a fabulous charity in the process!

We will be awarding prizes based upon the biggest fat loss, body fat percentage change and subsequent money raised for charity as part of this event.  The event will start in January 2012, book in for a FREE, no obligation Health Assessment (Usually £100). during which we will provide you with the template you need for successful weight loss, and if you sign up for the challenge we will support you along the way with exercise programs and support!

If you are someone who is genuinely interested in changing anything to do with the way that your body looks, moves and feels and have the will to do something about it then we would love to work with you.

Please e-mail me if you are interested in taking part in the challenge!

Kindest Regards,

Matthew

White Potatoes Vs Sweet Potatoes

Should you avoid white potatoes and eat sweet potatoes instead?

Both white potatoes and sweet potatoes contain a variety of nutrients. Here’s the comparison:

7-ounce white potato with skin: 220 calories, 5g protein, 51g carbs, 20mg calcium, 115mg phosphorus, 2.8mg iron, 16mg sodium, 844mg potassium, 4g fiber, .22mg thiamin, .07mg riboflavin, 3.3mg niacin, 16mg vitamin C
7-ounce sweet potato: 208 calories, 3.5g protein, 49g carbs, 56mg calcium, 110mg phosphorus, 1mg iron, 20mg sodium, 693mg potassium, 5g fiber, 4350 RE vitamin A, .14mg thiamin, .13mg riboflavin, 1.2mg niacin, 49mg vitamin C.

So, as you can see, sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamin A, and have a little more vitamin C and calcium (but less iron) than white potatoes; otherwise they're pretty much equal. We eat the potato skins as well as the flesh; the skins of many vegetables and fruits are concentrated sources of nutrients and fiber.
