North Atlanta Boot Camp unveils new logo - After months of reworking and
looking for something new and innovative, this month we release the new
logo for North Atlanta Boot Camp. The new logo is edgier and modern
looking, which we feel more fully represents our program and our clients.
Along with the new logo is a new series of ads which you will begin
seeing this month in the various media in which we advertise. Also,
look for an article in the December issue of Atlanta Sporting family in
which our program is highlighted.

Healthy Choices at Thanksgiving
It's that time of year when ....the Thanksgiving table
is full of irresistible treats and sweets, but before you commit yourself to an afternoon of gluttony followed
by the traditional unbuttoning of the pants in front of the TV, you might consider that there are a lot of options
that are actually good for you.

As we enter the holiday season, many of us stress out about gaining excess weight. With all of the delicious meals
and family gatherings filled with baked goods, how could one not be tempted? There are many ways to beat the battle of the
bulge and even improve your fitness level before the New Year rolls around. Below I will list top 12 tips for staying in
shape throughout the Holidays and avoiding the typical holiday weight gain.
- Turkey: You can't beat lean turkey breast. With only 44 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 8 grams of protein an ounce,
this is one of the healthiest things you can load up on. Even the dark meat only adds an extra gram of fat and 9 more
calories per ounce. Skip the skin, which adds extra calories and fat, and go light on the gravy.
- Cranberries: These tart little berries are bursting with nutrition, including high levels of vitamin C and
several polyphenol antioxidants. Cranberries are also good at inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria in the bladder
and urethra. Instead of going overboard with the sugar, try cooking cranberries in orange juice, or a little port
wine to bring out the flavor without oversweetening them.
- Yams: These tasty tubers (not to be confused with sweet potatoes) are great sources of vitamin B6, which can
reduce the risk of heart disease and potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure. And because yams contain complex
carbohydrates and fiber, they won't spike your blood sugar. Candying the yams, a popular Thanksgiving tradition, will
largely negate any blood sugar benefits, however. Try having them with a little cinnamon instead. They generally are
sweet enough on their own, but if your guests insist on candying them, maybe serve them with a little maple syrup on the
side, so at least the sugar rush is optional.
- Sweet Potatoes: Like their relative, the yam, sweet potatoes have lots of nutrients regular potatoes don't
have, including beta-carotene and vitamin C. The high levels of carotenoids in sweet potatoes also help regulate blood
sugar, which will help you avoid the post-Thanksgiving "coma" that afflicts so many over-indulgers on the holiday. Although,
once again, you can easily counteract the nutritional benefits by melting marshmallows on top of the sweet spuds. But, at
least marshmallows can be easily scraped off as opposed to the poor candied yam, which would have to be scrubbed down to
get back to its natural nutritious state.
- Salad: And by salad, we mean lettuce and vegetables, not a cream-based Waldorf salad or mayonnaise-laden potato
or macaroni salad. This is a good contribution you can make if you're a guest at someone else's Thanksgiving dinner. Offer
to bring a salad, with dressing on the side, and you'll at least be guaranteed that there will be one healthy dish you can
eat on the table.
- Pumpkin Pie: When you're looking at the dessert selection, keep in mind that a slice of
pumpkin pie has as much beta-carotene as an entire carrot. It's also high in vitamin C.
Unfortunately, oftentimes it can also be high in fat and sugar. But if you're making the pie, you can substitute skim milk
for cream or sweetened, condensed milk. Some chefs even add silken tofu to thicken the pie filling, and provide the extra
health benefits of soy.
Bleacher Run
Legs: Sometimes a change in your cardio routine will create amazing results. Many local stadiums are open to
the public and provide all you would need to get your heart racing! This is my favorite 20 minute "all out" workout, I
try to hit the bleachers at least once a week and when possible 2-3x per week!
