Dover Nutrition Coach: Food is NOT your enemy!

When people make an appointment with us to discuss nutrition, we’re never sure what the appointment is going to entail. Most people know that eating chicken and vegetables is a better choice than eating a hamburger and fries. There is a huge difference between knowing and then choosing what you want more. Some people think that they know what to eat, ut learn that maybe they don’t after all. We’ve learned over the years of counseling people regarding food, there are more emotional connotations that you can imagine when it comes to food. It seems that as we were raised, food played a huge role. When grieving we turn to “comfort food.” When ....

The New Year and your New Year's Resolutions

A new year is the perfect opportunity to grow and develop! This time of year the internet is flooded with the resolutions of people who want to grow and become the best versions of themselves, but let's face it: it's not as easy as it sounds! We all make resolutions for the new year but not everyone holds themselves accountable for following through with their goals. The reason why most people fail is because of a lack of support and accountability, but another reason is because their goals are not crystallized enough--they haven't made them SMART. We've all heard of SMART goals, or at least kind of know what they are, but here at CNU Fit we want to make sure that your goals are ....

Dover Health Coach gives tip to prepare your immune system for winter

The seasons are changing and a lot comes with that; beautiful colors, warm drinks, fall festivities, and unfortunately lots of illness. As it gets colder people tend to get sicker, but it is preventable! In the colder months people tend to spend more time indoors with ventilation that can recycle germs and viruses. On top of that, spending too little time in the sun decreases your vitamin D. Vitamin D improves your immune system and your mood-which is partially why people tend to be happier and healthier in the summer months. So what can you do? Eat for your immune system! The more fruits and vegetables the better, aim for 7 servings a day. Citrus fruits contain vitamin ....

Dover Personal Trainer gives tips on momentum as the year closes

Fall has officially arrived and so has cooler weather, fall sports, and busier days. To keep yourself feeling centered, calm, and confident with your health and weight goals, being prepared has never been more important. Having an abundance of foods prepared for a quick meal or snack can be the difference between having lots of energy and supporting your goals or “bonking” and making a bad decision you’ll surely regret. Balanced habits are important to establish as we move into the holiday trifecta: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When you identify habits you’re ready to right, be sure to create a new habit to replace it. Just saying ....

Client Spotlight: From 20 to 12

6 months ago Courtney Holloway was almost a size 20 at 237.6 lbs. She didn’t like what she saw in the mirror, and hid under baggy clothes that wouldn’t show her body. As a nurse, she struggled keeping the pace at work, often running out of breath with tasks like walking up the stairs or running to a patient in distress. She has a five year old son who loves to run, and when she couldn’t keep up with him without troubled breathing she knew it was time to make a change. “The kids are active, and if I’m sitting out the entire time…” she trailed off, “it kind of makes you re-evaluate.” Now, Courtney is a size 12 and ....

Dover Personal Trainer talks about S.U.C.C.E.S.S.

Success. It’s something we all look for in different aspects of our lives: a successful marriage, successful parenthood, being successful in our field; but what about your health? Most of the time when we talk about our health and wellness we don’t say “I want to be successfully healthy,” we say things like I want to lose weight, feel better about myself, have more energy . Do we even speak what success looks like? Sure, it means reaching our goals, but have we solidified exactly what that goal is? We know that the number one people fail is because of a lack of support and accountability, but the number two reason people fail is because they ....

Dover Nutrition Expert: Is yo-yo dieting bad for your health?

Is yo-yo dieting bad? With 39.8% of Americans being reported as obese and 35% of Americans as overweight, according to the Center for Disease Control's 2015-2016 study, this concern needs to be addressed with so many folks practicing this “method.” The definition of yo-yo dieting is “repeated losses and regains of body weight.” Initially: You go on a low calorie diet of say 1,000 calories a day. Then: Your body goes into famine mode. Famine mode is when your body thinks it’s starving so it adjusts by slowing down your metabolism. It conserves fat and begins to burn muscle instead (which means you’ll burn fewer calories and lose ....
