Last week I met with a new person who might be able to help you with the food and eating end of your fitness revolution. Her name is Hilary Warner, and she is a Registered/Licensed Dietitian who specializes in helping people who have a hard time with nutrition and weight.
One of things we discussed is that research is starting to show that dieting actually causes weight gain – while you might be able to lose weight while on a diet, most people end up gaining more weight back with each diet.
If you have (like I was at one time) been on many diets and continue to struggle with food and your weight, Hilary can help you get off the dieting merry-go-round and get you started on a new path that will help you normalize your eating and move toward your natural weight.
Hilary uses an approach called “intuitive eating” which involves learning how to listen to your body for cues that tell you when to eat and when it’s time to stop, giving yourself permission to eat all foods so that you don’t overeat from deprivation, and figuring out alternatives to eating when your mind wants to eat but your body doesn’t need food.
At Get Fit NH we want you to succeed, we realize that while principles remain the same, different methods work for different people, and we are excited to have Hilary in the mix.
Go now and learn more about Hilary at www.nutritionworksnh.com or you can call her at 603-223-8119

I love these bars! They are great for after training, as they are easy to pack and have a great blend of muscle building protein and recovery enhancing carbs. Add on top of that they taste fantastic and you have winner, winner chicken dinner! (Yea, I am a Guy Fieri fan 🙂
Power Packed Protein Pumpkin Bars
Preheat oven to 350. Place butter in 9×13 pan and melt in oven while it is preheating. In the meantime mix the oats, flour and brown sugar. Pour over the melted butter and press down with a spoon. Bake the crust for 12 minutes. While the crust is baking scald the milk and add the spices. Stir in the pumpkin and then the eggs, followed by the protein powder. Pour this over the crust and bake for another 20 minutes until the pumpkin filling is firm to the touch. Enjoy!
This and more fantastic recipes are in the Get Fit NH “Making A Difference Making It Happen” cookbook. Only $10 and Available at both locations.
Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of moving Get Fit NH Bootcamp from Commercial Street into our new digs at 287 South Main St., and what a year it has been!
Coach Erin and I worked on erasing that year old dry erase (THAT was a good workout) and we took a new picture of the signatures all ya all who trained with us yesterday.
We looked long and hard for a place to expand our Concord location, and I can’t imagine we could have done better. Tremendous parking, great landlords and neighbors, and plenty of room to put all the fans (right Maria?)
Most of all we want to thank-you, our tremendous clients for choosing to train with us.
Keep Getting Better – Every Day!

We had a great time last Tuesday night introducing our clients to the great taste of The Meal Movement. We sampled a wide variety of tasty and nutritious food.
If you haven’t read our introductory article to The Meal Movement and what it’s all about, check it out here: First Look: Our Meal Movement Experiment
So why did we introduce The Meal Movement to our clients?
Because you asked us to! One of the most common objections we hear is that it takes “too much time” to prepare healthy meals.
You see there are two major hurdles when it comes to eating in a supportive and sensible manner.
Time and Money.
And like it or not, you are going to have to spend more of one or the other when it comes to your nutrition.
You can either spend time preparing your PPW (The Sunday Ritual) or money having someone else prepare it for you. The chef at the golden arches is probably not the best choice.
In the middle lies The Meal Movement.
In the ideal world we would all spend the time preparing home cooked meals. It is the least expensive way possible to get great nutrition on a regular basis. Contrary to popular opinion you can eat very healthy on a limited budget. Don’t believe me? Talk to Coach Nancy, who stretched a dollar farther than you can imagine due to the budgetary constraints of her stingy husband – and still does!
The Meal Movement is just one more option for clients who can and want to take advantage of an easier way to get PPW. There are 7 different options to choose from to suit your needs. You can order a whole month of food or just protein – it’s up to you.

Dave B. has been a bedrock member of the 6:30am Concord training time since January of this year. He sent me this side-by-side of a picture taken about 6 months before he started with us and now.
I asked Dave this morning how much weight he had lost before he started training with us, and to my surprise he said he was within 5 pounds of his June 2010 weight when he first walked through our doors.
What you are looking at is 40pounds of body re-composition. We did not have the Intelametrix Bodyfat Tester when Dave started with us, but it is very clear in this picture and in person that Dave has lost well over 40 pounds of fat and added significant muscle, and he is not done yet – Pretty Good Start Indeed!
We just posted a “Client Only” resource over at TheOther165.com
The “No Nonsense Nutrition” video package was the first resource I ever purchased from Dr. Berardi. In fact this series was produced before Precision Nutrition even existed! It was and is the foundational material I used to lose over 80 pounds and keep it off.
Back in the day I spent quite a bit to get my hands on this material, but as a member of the PN network and a PN Certified Coach I have been authorized to share this material with our clients, and you’d be plum silly not to take advantage of the opportunity to watch this series now that it has been put online.
Each video is fairly short, so start at the beginning (always a good place to start), learn the foundational principles first, and then see how to put them into action. Dr. Berardi is a smart guy and entertaining, so grab a cup of your favorite (no calorie) beverage and get watching!

While body composition and weight loss is certainly a significant part of the overall picture of training, there is another huge benefit to regular resistance exercise, and that is the effect on health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, resting heart rate and more. The incredible Linda D. tells us what she found out at her last physical. Keep up the great work Linda! – Coach Dean
Yesterday I had my annual physical, and I felt very ambivalent going in. My recent birthday had a big Zero in it, and my cholesterol, etc. numbers have been getting as bad as the ones on the scale. Still, I have been at Boot Camp faithfully for 6 months (even though that is basically my first regular exercise in 40 years). I just bought smaller jeans, and I know I am a lot stronger than I was.
Results?
My blood pressure is now 126/70. My pulse is down from 80 to 72. My cholesterol numbers are lower than they have been since my kids were born, and my HDL (the good stuff) is so high that I now have “negative risk” for heart disease. And, oh yeah, I have lost 17 pounds, but no height. My doctor announced it was the best he has seen me in 20 years.
I still have a long way to go, but what has really changed is the way I look at it. When I started, I just wanted to lose weight. Then I realized I wanted to get strong. Now, I can taste what it is like to be healthy. I keep working toward better food choices, and this kind of feedback–along with all the friendly support from Dean, Erin, and the great people in my class–makes me believe I will make it happen.
