To save Recovery Log Data and/or Notes for FP click on Save RL CMS “Food Log- Recovery Log” Interface: (Note the three buttons below only appear on Sunday) FAT SECRET SYNC TUTORIAL CLICK HERE 3 Back to Table of Contents WORKOUT-RECOVERY LOG: EXERCISE TYPES To ensure you provide your Practitioner with the correct data, please select/note exercises in CMS 2.0 as follows (abbreviations are in bold as they appear in CMS 2.0) AFS Exercise Weight Loss Solutions = WLS Fitness Solutions = FS Group Strength = GRST Personal Training = PT Supplemental (outside of AFS) Exercise Supplemental Conditioning Exercise (Cond. in dropdown list): o This would include: Walking, Running, Jogging, Elliptical, Bike, Spinning, Aerobics Class, Bootcamp, Step Aerobics, High/Low, Jazzercise, Swimming, Stepper, Stairmill, P90x, Interval Training of any type Supplemental resistance training (RT in dropdown list): o This would include: Weight Lifting, Resistance Training, Cross-Fit, Lifting, Personal Training Prehabs/Corrective Exercise (PH in dropdown list) o This would include: Any prehab or corrective exercise progression given to treat or prevent an injury (either given to you by your AFS practitioner or a doctor/physical therapist). This also includes physical therapy sessions, yoga, and pilates Other Exercise (Other in dropdown list) o This is exercise that would not fall into one of the three categories above o Typically these would be recreational sports (softball, hockey, basketball) or other activities not list above. Logging Multiple Workouts in ONE DAY If you’ve performed more than one workout in a given day, do as follows in CMS 2.0: o Select your AFS exercise session from the dropdown menu o Log your other workout(s) by typing in what you did to the notes section on the FL/RL Data quadrant on the dashboard If you’re not sure what to select, please message your practitioner!! 4 Back to Table of Contents APPLIED FITNESS SOLUTIONS YOUR FITNESS SOLUTION FOOD LOG TIPS & SUGGESTIONS Food Log Tips: 1. 3 Options Determining Serving Size o Palm of Hand = 4oz/120g (women) or 6oz/180g (men) Anything weighed on food scale o Fist Clinched = 1cup/8fl Oz (women) or 1.5cup/12fl Oz (men) Anything measured in a measuring cup o Count = anything that can easily be counted (slices of bread, pieces of fruit, etc) o Example: Plate with 2 palms worth of chicken, 1.5 fists clinched of potatoes, and 2 dinner rolls Serving sizes (for a woman) = o 8oz Chicken o 1.5cups Potatoes o 2 Dinner Rolls 2. Determining Calorie Values for Restaurant Foods o Normally, the website of the restaurant (for chains) will provide some information If so, it’s usually a good idea to go to this website PRIOR to eating there o If the calorie values cannot be found directly, then: Use an approximation from a similar food source Estimate on the high end, just to be on the safe side Include enough information so your Fitness Practitioner can approximate the calorie value Good description of foods/beverages consumed Approximate serving sizes 3. Determining Calorie Values for Recipes/Dishes you Prepare o Ideal Option: Cookbook recipe gives you number of servings and you divide into equal servings o Easiest/Least Accurate Option: Look up a similar calorie value in an electronic database or calorie count book o Harder/Most Accurate Option: Record calorie values per servings of all foods you include in the recipe Divide by the number of servings the recipe yields (or how many you want it to yield) 4. If you have logged only a partial day, please indicate that the day was “partial,” so the partial day is not used on your numerical analysis Common Food Logging Errors: 1. Failing to include serving sizes 2. Failing to indicate serving size appropriately 5 Back to Table of Contents 3. 4. 5. 6. o Indicating 1 or 2 for serving size (to suggest one or two servings) rather than indicating serving as outlined above Failing to include times for all meals and snacks consumed Failing to approximate calorie values for unknown food sources Only handing in ‘good’ food logs and failing to hand in ‘bad’ food logs All or none thinking: ideally everyday should be food logged, however, occasionally life will get in the way and this will not happen. You will have a bad day, couple of days, or even week – all is not lost though! Get back in the habit of handing in food logs as quickly as possible, even if only 1 or 2 days are handed in for a given week. Something is better than nothing! 6 Back to Table of Contents APPLIED FITNESS SOLUTIONS NUTRITIONAL PRINCIPLES & TIPS: NUTRIENT TIMING Nutrient Timing Basics: o All exercise adaptations are nutrient-based Exercise is just the primer Nutrients (proteins/carbs) are the catalyst o Research has shown that the meals before, during, and after exercise are the most important meals of your day o Digestive state during exercise favors the BREAKDOWN of nutrients, NOT their storage Requirements for a sports beverage during exercise Simple Carbs Fast Acting Protein Liquid Electrolytes o Nutrient Timing Defined: Consuming simple sugar (dextrose) and fast acting protein (whey) before, during, and after exercise Before: 20-30min before During: Throughout exercise After: Within 20min of terminating exercise The closer to termination of exercise, the better Benefits of Nutrient Timing: More Energy for Exercise o Especially important when in a calorie restricted state Improved Performance During Exercise o Reduced Fatigue/Greater Endurance o Improved Strength Improved Recovery Post-Exercise o Reduced Soreness o Replenish Energy Stores o Repair Damaged Muscle Tissue Greater Body Fat Reduction o Increased energy expenditure/fat breakdown during exercise Enhanced fat burning post-exercise due to reductions in circulating cortisol (stress hormone) 7 Back to Table of Contents Science of Nutrient Timing Pre- /During Workout Nutrition: o Provides Carbohydrate to fuel contractile activity o Provides protein to prevent metabolic breakdown of muscle tissue Post-Workout Nutrition: o Provides Carbohydrate to replenish liver and muscle glycogen (carbohydrate) stores Blunts the muscle breaking down - cortisol response o Provides Protein to repair and synthesize contractile protein within skeletal muscle Advantage to nutrient intake in the “peri-workout” window o Local nutrient release in active muscle tissue (vascular response) o Enhanced insulin sensitivity and tissue demand increases nutrient uptake 10-fold during the workout and up to 20min following the end of a training session Pre, During, & Post-Workout Nutritional Guidelines: o Pre-Workout (consumed approximately 20-30min BEFORE training) 15-25g of Simple Liquid Carbohydrate Preferably Dextrose (but Gatorade, Powerade will suffice) 6-15g of Fast Digesting/Absorbing Protein Whey Protein Only o During Workout (consumed per hour of training) 15-25g of Simple Liquid Carbohydrate Preferably Dextrose (but Gatorade, Powerade will suffice) 6-15g of Fast Digesting/Absorbing Protein Whey Protein Only o Post-Workout (consumed within 20min of ceasing training) 20-50g of Simple Liquid Carbohydrate Preferably Dextrose (but Gatorade, Powerade will suffice) 6-30g of Fast Digesting/Absorbing Protein Whey Protein Only For a more in-depth explanation of Nutrient Timing Go To: http://4afsfit.com/nutrient-timing-supplements-critical-to-all-training-adaptations/ 8 Back to Table of Contents APPLIED FITNESS SOLUTIONS NUTRITIONAL PRINCIPLES & TIPS: BODY FAT REDUCTION General Nutritional Principles for Fat Loss: Concerned with quantity (amount) NOT quality (type) There are no “good” calories, there are no “bad” calories There is nothing you can’t eat, there is nothing you have to eat Primary nutritional objective = intake an appropriate amount of calories throughout the day so you are in a large enough calorie deficit to lose the desired amount of body fat In general, o Calorie deficit (between expenditure & intake) can be no greater than 1000 calories o Cannot eat less than 1200 calories per day Your job: find the right combinations of foods, portion sizes, and calories that sum to your daily calorie goal For all food & beverages you consume YOU MUST KNOW: o Approximate Serving Size & Approximate Calorie Value/Serving Nutritional Tips for Fat Loss Be consciously aware of the calories associated with all foods/beverages you consume Limit your consumption of foods and beverages high in fat and sugar o Substitute low or no-fat alternatives Limit your liquid calorie consumption o Substitute “diet” or low sugar alternatives Limit eating out: o Fast Food (average meal ≈ 750-1000 calories) o Restaurant (average meal ≈ 1500-2000 calories) o If you have to eat out: Plan ahead (go to website, look up menu, make selection ahead of time) Order the “healthiest” option Reduce portion by 50-75% (only eat one-quarter to one-half of the meal) Ideally try to consume three meals (300-500 calories/meal) and two-three small snacks (100-300 calories/snack) per day Ideally each meal would contain: o 2-4oz Protein (chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, lunch meats, etc) o ½ to 1 cup of Complex Carbohydrate (whole grains, whole wheat’s, etc) o One serving of fruit or vegetable o 8-16oz water 9 Back to Table of Contents FAD DIETS: SEPARATING SCIENTIFIC FACT FROM POPULAR FICTION Common Features of Fad Diets1: Promises of Rapid Weight Loss Elements of Ritual & Sacrifice Magical Food or Food Combination Unlimited Foods of Some Type Rigid Menus or Monotonous Food Choices Jargon & Scientific Half-Truths Lack of Scientific Evidence Lack of Acknowledgement of Physical Activity Assessing a Weight Loss Nutritional Plan1: Does the diet promote a new fact or newly discovered secret? Does the diet involve purchase of a commercial product? Is there a promise of rapid weight loss? Has the diet been independently tested and results published in a reputable journal? What are the credentials of the author or promoter? Will the diet result in only small quantities of carbohydrate foods being eaten? Does the diet promote adequate intakes of the main food groups: fruit and vegetables, cereal foods, low fat dairy foods, lean meats? Is there an overemphasis on dietary fat or any one food type? Is the energy-balance equation recognized and physical activity promoted as an important part of this? Popular Fad Diets: 1. Low Carbohydrate Fad Diets a. Low Carbohydrate, High Fat, Moderate Protein b. Common Names: Atkins, Sugar Busters, Protein Power c. Diet’s Suggested Mechanisms (not validated by any existing research): i. Obesity exists for metabolic reasons ii. Not overconsumption of calories iii. Insulin and Insulin Resistance cause weight gain iv. Achieving a ketosis state is necessary for fat loss d. Physiological Fact: i. Limited Metabolic Flexibility 1. Can’t eliminate one of the four macronutrients (would you eliminate water?) ii. Fuel Source for Higher Intensity Activity: carbohydrate then protein (not fat) iii. Appears Effective: 1. Weight Loss NOT Fat Loss a. Up to 80% of weight lost can be lean (muscle) tissue, not fat b. Little change in Body Fat or appearance 2. Stored Carbohydrate and associated water (~3 to 5lbs) 3. Increased Urination 10 Back to Table of Contents 4. Increased Muscle Tissue Breakdown 5. Weight is lost due to calorie deficit (eliminating one of the major macronutrients) e. Disadvantages to Diet: i. Weight loss comes from lean tissue – not fat tissue ii. Lost weight is regained iii. Increased risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack iv. While on diet: increased irritability, reduced mental performance, increased fatigue 2. Zone Diet (Dr. Barry Sears) a. 40% CHO – 30% Protein – 30% Fat b. “Fat doesn’t make you fat, the body’s response to carbohydrate does” c. Lean Meats, Fowl, Most Grains, Starchy Vegetables, & some Fruits are allowed d. Diet’s Suggested Mechanisms (not validated by any existing research): i. Creates a metabolic state where the body is functioning at “peak efficiency” ii. 40/30/30 Ratio optimizes health-producing eicosanoids e. Physiological Fact: i. Similar to lower carbohydrate dieting 1. Limited fat loss, lean tissue lost, etc ii. Weight is lost due to calorie deficit (reducing one of the major macronutrients) f. Disadvantages to Diet: i. Similar to lower carbohydrate dieting, just not as extreme 3. Very Low Calorie Diets (VLCD): a. 400 to 1000 calories/day i. World Health Organization defines starvation as < 1200 kCal/d b. Common Names: HCG Diet, Medical Weight Loss Clinic, Medifast c. Only appropriate for morbidly obese individuals (~50% Body Fat) i. When medically supervised in a hospital setting d. Calories are from: i. Engineered Foods ii. Nutrient Dense Protein Shakes e. Physiological Mechanism: Extreme Calorie Deficit f. Result: i. Significant Weight Loss (4-5lbs/wk) ii. >85% of Weight Loss from non-fat sources 1. Water, glycogen, muscle protein g. Disadvantages to Diet: i. In nearly every case lost weight is regained by 105-115% ii. Significant and lasting damage to metabolism iii. Side effects such as: 1. Prolonged hunger, depression, reduced sex drive, fatigue, irritability, fainting, sinus problems, muscle atrophy, rashes, acidosis, bloodshot eyes, gallbladder disease, seizures, malnutrition, sudden cardiac death, constipation, dehydration, risk of developing eating disorders References/Works Cited: Anderson JW, Konz EC, Jenkins DJ.

Last Day of the Month: all negative account balances for drop-in sessions and items billed to account (i.e. waters) for that month are charged to the credit card on file. How is my credit card information kept safe? AFS uses a third-party merchant processing company that is responsible for all membership billing transactions. Their redundant fraud protection measures, as well as the internal procedures used by AFS, ensure your personal information stays safe. Why does AFS require in-facility signatures for membership cancellations and changes? The third-party merchant processing company AFS uses requires a “wet signature” on all change forms as a part of their fraud protection policies. Forms are submitted via overnight carrier on the 25th of every month (business day or not). How do I know how many sessions I’ve used in a month? Go to: www.4afsfit.com and click on ‘login’ in the upper right corner of the website. Login to your client account through the web portal; this will allow you to view various aspects of your membership, usage, and payment history. What happens to my sessions if I get sick or injured? The good news with most injures is you won’t have to miss any sessions. AFS has the ability to work around nearly every localized and stable orthopedic issue. As we like to say – if you have 2 good limbs, you can exercise. If you become injured, please contact AFS at 734-994-8570 and set up an appointment with our fitness director. With some injuries and illness, exercise is not appropriate (if you are unsure contact AFS). In these cases, sessions can be credited to your client account for future use or future payments. In order to do so, AFS must submit a letter from your doctor stating the nature of the issue and the date range during which you are unable to exercise. AFS will submit this letter to our third-party merchant processing company. They will apply the appropriate credit. For any billing related questions, please contact AFS at 734-994-8570 12 Back to Table of Contents REFERRAL REWARDS PROGRAM Terms and Conditions: For every friend you refer who becomes a client of AFS you will receive $25 complimentary AFS Account Dollars, which can be applied to AFS Group Training Services (products are not eligible).
