Hi all, so it’s been some time (just about four months) since I’ve posted a blog entry. So sorry – won’t be that long again. I made the mistake of getting involved in too many things. Speaking of involvement – many of you know me from Fitness First in Bethesda, which I am no longer employed by.

I resigned as of Wednesday, April 29th. still have my membership there to train you through my own training program rather than Fitness First’s…so you will still see me around frequently. For some of you, this means that

For those of you that I’ve trained at no-cost with Fitness First, I’ll be offering a day in June to have one last no-cost sessions. Following that, my sessions are $60/session for one person or $80 in pairs of two people.

As always, I promise to offer the most effective training for you that meets your goals. I’ll also update this blog more frequently. I love my segways – and speaking of blog updates, is there anything you would like me to write about? If so – send me an email and I’ll blog about it.

Yours in excellent health,

Coach Dinos

The Fructose and High Fructose Corn Syrup generated some good comments and questions, which I knew it would because of its controversial nature and all the conflicting research that is out about these two nutrients.

It reminded me to reinforce something that I try to teach everyone, but it is sometimes hard to do because of all the mass media stories that for some reason seem to be believed before something I say or any other health professional for that matter.

When you hear about these studies that say fructose causes weight gain or high fructose corn syrup has fructose in its formula they are many times unique studies on just one nutrient by itself or it was researched in a specific environment.

Generally neither of these forms of studies actually relate to how we live and eat on a day to day basis.
