“The New You” Training Program
Doug Bork started his training program just 10 weeks ago and was in the worst shape of his life.  He was stressed, tired and worst of all out of shape.  He worked very long days as the manager of a very busy and successful restaurant in Princeton, NJ.  On a daily basis he was tempted with fating, greasy fried foods and alcohol.  Doug needed this contest to help kick start him back to better health, wellness and to just feel good about himself. 
 Doug’s trainer laid out a plan of the 3 components that would bring him success;  weight training, cardiovascular training and most important of all, a precise nutritional plan. He worked very hard and trained with cardiovascular exercises 5 days a week from 45-60 minutes at a time in addition he trained with weights 1 day per week with his trainer and the other 3 days on his own.  He faced daily challenges with time constraints to get to the gym and choosing the right foods.  He was able to treat himself every so often (once per week) with a beer or two to help him along the way.  Doug’s determination of the contest was very intense because as he puts it “I don’t like to lose and I don’t want to let the club down”.  He did not disappoint.

Here is a sample of what he ate:

Things to Remember:

• Do not starve yourself when trying to lose weight. Eating smaller, more frequent meals (like 5 meals) opposed to 3 large meals a day is better for you to lose weight. Eating this way raises your metabolism, allowing you to burn more energy more efficiently. Starving yourself then binge eating only slows down one’s metabolism and causes weight gain.
• Remember to drink plenty of fluids, mainly water. Other fluids such as coffee, tea, diet soda, skim milk and some juices are okay, but do not overdo these.
• Try to avoid white flour products if possible; substitute whole wheat for white flour.
