Gatorade Low Carb

What to eat? What to eat? This has always been our question when we were on our South Beach diet. It’s quite a surprise that most of our favorite foods are made out of carbs… Muffins, Donuts, Pizza, Sandwiches, etc. It was so hard to find meals and snacks that would be comprised mainly of protein.

But in the market, there are products that are already low in Carbohydrates. Why do consumers need this type of products for losing weight? It’s because once extra carbohydrates are consumed by the body, it turns into fat and it is stored in the body.

I recently came across a Gatorade commercial with this product featured:

Gatorae Low Carb

This is actually great for people who feel that they are constantly dehydrated (just like me…hehe), but need an alternative drink that would contain less carbs. I was often wary of taking these types of energy or re-hydrating drinks because of the sugar that it contains. It’s good to know that Gatorade Low Carb is available in the market!

Problematic Feet? NEAT FEAT Footcare Products are here!

Ever since I was a teenager, my insecurities would stem from my ‘feet’. Yes, my feet. My feet have these two huge bunions that I can’t do anything about. I got it by being very athletic during my teenagers years. I used to tie the laces of my shoes very tight. Now, I get a lot of blisters since my shoes don’t really fit well.

Like for example, last week, I had to place bandaid on my fourth toe, since it had gotten blisters from walking. It’s a good thing, I found this!

Neat Feat Gel Toe Rings

Neat Feat offers these Gel Toe Rings. I know that this is actually used as corn protectors, but I thought that was the best time to use it for myself. It’s very convenient since I can place it around my toes for protection. The fabric used for this product is very light and it stretches to fit any toe size. They are actually very comfortable to use. They protect my toes from blisters.

There are a lot of other products being offered by NEAT FEAT.

I’m raffling off some of the NEAT FEAT Products that I have. I want to help other people with feet problems so I want to give it to someone who can write another review to share their experiences. I will give you the opportunity to be a guest blogger here at Manila Fitness. When you win, you will have to send me the article so I can post it here.

The available products that you can choose from are:
Odour Guard Insoles
Heel Cups
Heel Lifts
Gel Corn Pads
Gel Bunion Pad
Gel Blister Pads

My Sexy Revolution Starts Now: Last 10 Pounds

I woke up this morning, and weighed myself. To my despair, I was still 131 pounds. At 5’4″, people actually don’t think i’m fat. I’m a regular looking girl, not that petite. Just plain and regular. Last month, I went on a South Beach diet, and yes, it worked. I didn’t have a hard time, and this, is not a lie. I would give you that BS and all that drama of complaining that following the diet was hard, because it wasn’t.

I guess it was easy for me because….
1) my Super-south-Beach-trained yaya (household helper of mom) prepared the meals for me. Yes, if you have read my previous posts, you will know where she trained.
2) I am so busy always that I don’t have time to complain
3) I had the support of my husband, since he, himself was coerced (by ME of course :p hehe) to go on the same diet

I successfully lost 8 pounds, and it was highly rewarding. I loved it wheneople noticed this weight loss. This week, i started with a base weight of 133pounds after resting for two weeks after my first round, but it seems, my weight is stuck at 131 :( boo!

I want to achieve a weight of 120 pounds and be as sexy as Georgina Wilson in this ad.

Sexy Solutions 50-Off-Poster

This made me curious about Sexy Solutions. I heard that this place (www.sexysolutions.com.ph) offers non-invasive fat reduction solutions and they have machines that can (1) melt fat in stubborn places, (2) tighten loose skin and (3) tone muscle.

The last ten pounds are the hardest to lose and if Sexy Solutions can help me get rid of these last ten pounds, I will be forever indebted to them!

Right now, all I can do is wait and see and HOPE that I do get to lose these last 10 pounds. I hope you continue to join me in my own Sexy Revolution. My sexy revolution against fat starts now!

COACH JIM SARET’s FITFIL Fitness Boot Camp

It’s the first day of the second run of my South Beach Diet. I am starting with a base weight of 133 pounds. I am actually planning already my fitness activities for this and next month. I recently enrolled with Yoga Manila again and got 6 classes. I will use this for these next 2 weeks (from May 7 to May 18). As I was pondering on what activity to do after May 18, I came across this advertisement of Coach Jim Saret. It was an announcement for a fitness boot camp. It looked fun and exciting!

Here is the link to the details and the registration page: http://www.coachjimsaret.ph/2012/04/join-coach-jim-sarets-fitfil-fitness.html


I have three reasons why I want to join this:

a. When you look at me, i’m not exactly overweight, but I really want to be healthy already. Two years ago, I had pregnancy complications and I think it was because I wasn’t ‘healthy’ enough. Before my husband and I try for another child, I want to be as healthy as ever.

b. I was an active teenager and all of this faded away when I started working. I want to get back on track and build the flexibility, endurance and strength that I once had.

c. I want to try out the different fitness activities. I sounds super fun! I’ll be able to try TRX, CrossFIT, VPER, Pilates, Yoga, Turbulence Training, P90x, Kettlebell, Boxing, Med Balls, Exercise Balls, Bands, Body Weight, Metabolic, Exercise Balls and many others with just this boot camp.

I plan on documenting my journey to achieving all of these things. :) I hope you can journey with me, as well.

If you’re looking for a fun way to lose weight and to achieve your fitness goals, sign up now! Hope to see you there! :)

*note: The Coach Jim Saret’s FITFIL Fitness Boot Camp Manila was moved to June 25 to July 27.
