Developing good nutritional habits can be difficult when there is so much contradicting information out there.
Fortunately for Life Time Fitness members, numerous nutrition coaches across the country held the Big 16 E.A.T. Smart Seminar at their clubs Tuesday to help members navigate their way toward healthy nutrition.
In Plymouth, MN, Nutrition Coach Paul Kriegler provided 14 members with a few major principles that could help them improve their nutrition dramatically and reach their health goals.
During the seminar, Kriegler stressed seven major points that will help anyone develop healthy nutrition:
“Whatever you learned today, put it into action tomorrow,” Kriegler told his attending members before taking questions and the group heading to the LifeCafé for a healthy meal.
Kriegler said if members take action and incorporate these guidelines into their daily diet with an exercise regiment, they could start to feel results in 4 to 6 weeks.
“Weight loss, health and fitness aren’t something that just happens,” he said. “They’re achieved.”

Who thought a sandwich could be so nutritious?
Across the nation on Saturday, Life Time Fitness clubs held the Big 16 Top E.A.T.s: Sandwich Edition cook-off event where members brought in their, healthy yet tasty sandwich creations.
In Plymouth, MN, Lissa Flaaten wowed with her turkey sandwich creation topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato and hummus. With plenty of the sandwich to go around, the lifeguards at Plymouth’s outdoor pool enjoyed the treat.
Across the country in Palm Valley, AZ, nutrition coach Anika Christ said seven members presented sandwiches to the panel of judges at the Palm Valley Life Time Fitness club.
The winner was Claudia Anderson who brought forth a Chicken Parmesan Pita, Christ said, and the sandwich tasted as good as it sounds.
“It looked awesome,” Christ said. “She did the whole garnishing and everything.”
Created with a whole grain pita, Anderson topped it with diced grilled chicken, fat-free grated Parmesan cheese, pesto sauce, dried cranberries and frozen peas. According to Christ, Anderson threw peas into the mix to get her kids to eat the little green vegetables.
Anderson’s creation was just one of seven sandwiches from homemade recipes, Christ said, recalling a spicy roast beef wrap coming in second place and a turkey alfalfa sprout wrap a close third.
Many spectators also enjoyed the contest as they watched the judging panel choose a winner at the LifeCafé of the club, Christ said.
“A lot people like to come around and just watch the judging part of it,” Christ said, citing about 20 members who watched the contest.
However, Christ said, those seven contestants proved that a sandwich could be healthy and taste great.
The winning recipe of the sandwich cook-off at Palm Valley and winners of the other Life Time Fitness clubs will be compiled and published in an online cookbook that members can download from the Life Time Fitness Nutrition Web site.
