Exercising with no results? Check your diet. Is every calorie giving you nutrients? Are you eating enough? Micronutrients are small but powerful; they are the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function every day. Exercise increases your body's requirements for micronutrients. Believe it or not, if just one is missing, it could make a huge difference to your results. For example, your body uses iodine to make thyroid hormones that drive your metabolism. You only need a little iodine each day, but without it your exercise will be worthless. Don't think for a minute that another half an hour on the cross-trainer will fix it. Short changing your body on micronutrients can slam the door shut on your fat cells. Gourmet meals at home Celebrity Chef Josh Emett, is an icon in the international world of cooking. Like all of us, Josh leads a busy life; his work takes him abroad regularly, he has just opened a new restaurant in Queenstown and he has massive commitments to TV and Masterchef. Time at home with his wife Helen comes at a premium and making high quality meals at home isn't as easy as it used to be. This led Josh and Helen to conceive an idea for a convenient easy to prepare home meal that met his gourmet standards. Introducing Chef Feeling tired? Move more Strange but true, you really do have to expend energy to gain more energy. Discipline yourself to do at least 20 minutes of cardio - anything that gets your heart rate up - and aim to do this daily. It could be walking, dancing, cycling or swimming. Just a small time investment in the morning will make a huge impact on your energy levels all day. You will get much more done and you'll sleep better too. Twenty minutes in the morning is better than a day of feeling tired. Keep this up for three weeks and you've formed a new habit. Don't put up with the blues; if you are feeling over loaded, take time out to plan a dietary overhaul and insist on 20 minutes a day to exercise. Get out and walk and if it's raining, don't let that stop you. If you still can't shake the blues, visit a nutritionist. A nutritionist will assess your current diet and help you make necessary changes to ensure you are getting all the nutrients your body requires to function fantastically.
