Good morning everyone,
Speaking of morning, what did you have for breakfast?
For most people, they will have a bowl of some type of cereal. Even though the marketing team did a great job of making the box look nice and healthy, is it?
Most cereal that you may give you child, if you have children, or that you are eating yourself, has just as much if not more sugar than a twinkie in just a one cup serving! That is about 20 grams or 5 teaspoons of sugar!
What can you do if your favorite cereal is packed with sugar? You do have a couple options! You can mix the high sugar cereal with some plain, ex. honey nut cheerios with plain or have plain cheerios and add some fruit to the mix!
A great cheat meal could be you favorite cereal after dinner instead of cakes,ice creams, etc. Just remember to use low-fat, skim or my favorite almond milk.
Here are the top 10 cereals packed with the most sugar!
1) Kellogg's Honey Smacks -- 55.6 percent
2) Post Golden Crisp -- 51.9 percent
3) Kellogg's Froot Loops Marshmallow -- 48.3 percent
4) Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch's OOPS! All Berries -- 46.9 percent
5) Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch Original -- 44.4 percent
6) Quaker Oats Oh!s -- 44.4 percent
7) Kellogg's Smorz -- 43.3 percent
8) Kellogg's Apple Jacks -- 42.9 percent
9) Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries -- 42.3 percent
10) Kellogg's Froot Loops Original -- 41.4 percent
Thanks for reading and remember read the labels before you put something into your body! Sugar stores as fat, the more sugar the more fat!

TOMA - Key to Success!
Before we discuss TOMA, I just wanted to thank all of you who participated in our Share the Love, Bring a Friend Week, we raised $575 for the Heart Foundation!
TOMA aka Top of Mind Awareness is vital for success in anything. Have you ever heard of the book and movie The Secret? If you haven’t, simply put it’s about getting what you want in life by thinking positively, visualization and the law of attraction. These concepts and TOMA program your subconscious mind around things you think about, whether good or bad, and actually dictate actions you take.
4 Ways to Utilize TOMA to Shed Body fat
1. Mark your calendar with days and times you are going to work out, every day, every week. This way, every time you look at your calendar, you see your workouts. Plus, it’s been proven that if you schedule something, you are 95% more likely to attend it. Our mindbody software makes this easy for our bootcamp and personal training clients.
2. Join a challenging fitness program: When you are physically challenged, you are going to think more about whatever it was that challenged you, either before or after the training session. You will feel accomplished and energized; your subconscious will crave more of that feeling, thus pushing you to work out more. While we focus on form first, our goal of every workout at M.E.L.T. is to make it an challenging experience, whether bootcamp or personal training at our South Windsor, Harwinton, Glastonbury and On-site locations.
3. Log your eating: I cannot tell you how many people I’ve consulted with that have told me how healthy they eat and how they have no idea why they can’t lose the extra belly fat around their stomach. Upon persisting them to keep an active food log, I always notice several things that they are consuming and not doing that are leading to belly fat gain. We are human and I don’t care how good your memory is, if you don’t track something its out of sight. Plain and simple, those who log what they eat on a daily base get better results. I know logging can be tedious so I created a log book that only requires you to check things off, rather than writing them in. I built our meal plan into the check list so that our clients do not have to remember every aspect of the plan, the choices are right there for them to check!
4. Seek out accountability: I can honestly tell you one of the best things I’ve ever done was join a mastermind. In this group, other professionals and I meet quarterly to support and hold each other accountable. Its human nature to fall off track but when people are expecting you to do certain things and are willing to support you to accomplish those things, you will get stuff done.
Accountability happens on all level; top Olympic athletes, professional athletes, successful business people – you name it! Therefore, we created our F.L.A.G. (fat loss accountability group) in our Glastonbury, South Windsor and Harwinton bootcamp and personal training locations because we know people who join this group will get better results. One of our members in our Glastonbury group lost 10 lbs since our first FLAG meeting! We cut each group off at 14 people, if you are interested, email meltfitness@gmail.com as soon as possible! Each member of the FLAG group receives this easy to follow log book, attends one monthly meeting where we do measurements and give each member the platform to share what they are going through.
ACTION is key! The one thing I think The Secret could have done a better job in is explain how important implementing these concepts is. Thinking alone gets you nowhere, but the more TOMA you have – the more action you are likely to take.
We created a fun and challenging environment here at M.E.L.T. through our Bootcamps, Personal Training, Semi Private Personal Training, Warrior Classes, Youth Training and our F.L.A.G. where we make TOMA easy for our clients, if you are interested in any of the above services we provide just email meltfitness@gmail.com .
Have a great day and don’t forget to focus on these two things: 1. You set a positive TOMA 2. You take action asap!

M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio Transformation Contestant’s Seeing Results in 1 Week
Participants Begin 8 week Journey to Health and Fitness
M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio has put on a Transformation Contest taking clients on an amazing 8 week journey to improve their health, fitness and completely transform their bodies.
Joe Carabase says, “I love helping people change their lives. Unfortunately there is so much misinformation out there, and many struggle with finding the right knowledge to make positive changes. This contest is going to help a lot of people make big changes in their lives and hopefully inspire many others to do the same.”
The contestants will go through an 8 week transformation consisting of results proven training programs and workouts, and of course, we can’t leave out the 8 week nutrition program designed to promote a lifestyle change and boost metabolism. M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio has run several transformation contests, but this is sure to be the biggest and provide the most dramatic transformations of them all.
M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio is teaming up with a national food service company and all other Fitness Revolution franchisees to promote a nationwide transformation contest. With the combined efforts of Personal Trainer Food, the hottest pre-made meal system in the country, and the world class fitness trainers in the Fitness Revolution franchise the contestants are sure to be provided with the best results imaginable!
The goal is for contestants to develop habits that will allow them to add years onto their lives and feel confident about themselves.
“This isn’t just a quick fix. We want to help these people get their lives back.” Said Carabase.
Two of M.E.L.T.’s clients are documenting their step by step process through the contest. “It’s only the first week, but I feel more energy and all I want to do is workout” said Nicola Smith-Oliver. Roberta Carlon shared a story about her first week “The diet is really working, I tried on a pair of pants on that I couldn’t fit into a week ago and this week I was able to wear them comfortably.” The contest is really heating up and M.E.L.T. will be documenting their client’s success all the way through.
For more information on how to transform your body and your life, contact M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio at 860 -372-4887 or send an email to meltfitness@gmail.com
