Day 8

   Day 8, one week down and already back to our cardio based Tuesday evenings. With a quarter of the course gone I hope you are all feeling better, if you are not feeling the benefit then please bring in your diary that I know you all fill out each evening and we can go through it.
   This week we move onto soy, I have attached an article that i believe explains the positives and negatives very well. Ultimately we should focus on whether our soy is genetically modified as well as it being fermented. Please read through the article , there will be plenty of information to follow including a webinar from Dr Mercola.

   See you all this evening.

Day 7

  Apologies for being so quiet over the weekend, the internet was down at work. It has been good to see some of you in the gym over the weekend. I spent today in Harrogate with the Creator of Team Dynamix seeing the finished product and also new programmes that have been created such as sports conditioning and regeneration. I will introduce you all to the accumulator in the near future!
        I have attached an article that goes into gluten intolerance in much more detail and if you have no plans before Easter it also lists many symptoms of an intolerance.

       I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, take plenty of energy on board this evening.

Day 4

 
    Big night of eating well and hydrating for us all, planned a really tough session for you all and I will be gracing the rugby field once again. Just finished my roast chicken with vegetables and had a protein packed omelette for lunch so feeling good.
   Tomorrow we will be looking briefly at wheat and gluten with a bundle load of information to follow. Just a brief post from me this evening as my nephew is currently being born (finally) and I am heading down to Lister.
     Get a good breakfast inside you tomorrow and I will see you all at 10.30am.

Day 3 So far so good!

  Good evening, I hope it is all going well for you. If it is any consolation my legs are also aching and i only joined in the warm up so I feel your pain. Being back on the Team Dynamix nutrition plan has been enjoyable and really empowering, cutting the wheat out once again has instantly made me feel more energetic and I have already lost 1kg. As much as I put this down to reintroducing myself to the Team Dynamix elimination list I have also trained hard this week with tough weight sessions, spinning and also a Team Dynamix session with a number of Odyssey staff.
      Every time I eliminate wheat from my diet I really feel the benefit and I wonder why I let it creep in from time to time. Of course I know the answer and its due to it being to readily available and over used in a moder diet. My number 1 piece of advise is to be as prepared as possible, if your left making a choice for lunch from a service station or a local sandwich shop then inevitably it will be a poor choice.
       I am training at Odyssey from 10.45 am tomorrow, if anyone would like to join me you would be more than welcome. Until tomorrow good night.

Team Dynamix Continuation Day 2

    There was some magic happening in the Odyssey kitchen this lunchtime as my omelette was a touch of heaven (simple pleasures). It was just what I needed after this mornings spin session.
       Lets switch our attention to wheat and gluten, Dr Mercola who I have used before when researching topics such as soy has written a book called "No grain diet", this went on to be an American best seller and linked obesity to a modern diet being to over reliant on grains. Here I attach a link to a clip of Dr Mercola discussing the truth about whole wheat.

And here is a link to his book on amazon.

I hope the legs are not feeling to heavy today. If they are the best thing you can do is get down to Odyssey get some blood flowing through them and relax in the steam room.

Team Dynamix Continuation Day 1

  Good evening everyone and heres my first post. Tonights session was fantastic and I look forward to the remaining 7 sessions. Our education topic is wheat and gluten on Saturday so I will send you some journals and articles throughout the week.
        I hope you have all had a highly nutritious meal, of course I enjoyed a quinoa (what else) salad with courgette and red onion. I dressed it with olive oil and a little balsamic. It tasted fantastic and kept the energy levels high as I sit down for the first time today.
     Tomorow I will be taking a spinning class which will also double up as my cardio workout, 3 big hill climbs and a sprint finish will have the desired effect. If any of you can manage a gym session tomorow then I look forward to seeing you there.
  Until tomorows post goodnight, sleep well.

Wheat Belly

A really interesting book has come up called 'Wheat Belly' by Dr William Davis. Dr Davis is a cardiologist in the US who has done some research about how wheat has changed and how through his own experience has seen the effect wheat has had on almost every system in the human body. He is obviously already treating cardiac patients and is seeing some dramatic results from eliminating wheat. To the right of this post you should see a new element 'What we're reading', as we come across more and more reading material we'll put them in here so you can have a look yourself.
