Wonder what it takes to become a sports fitness model? Then meet Angeline

sports modelBy Guy Lawrence

Guy: I met Angeline Norton (pictured above) at Sydney’s Filex fitness expo earlier on this year. With enough protein supplements and chemical potions to make your head spin, it was refreshing to meet a sports/fitness model who was passionate about what they put in their body and doesn’t buy into all the hype.

Impressed with her approach to health and sports modelling and an all round great girl, I asked Angeline if she would share some of her tips on what it takes to get that sports modelling look… Enjoy! Continue reading

Ever wondered if vitamin pills actually work?

vitamin pills and protein snacks

By Guy Lawrence

You would like to think so with Americans now spending an estimated $28 billion a year! This is a figure that has doubled over the last 15 years and continues to grow.

With that kind of turnover, it is an industry that wouldn’t appreciate what Time journalist John Cloud had to say on the matter.

John Cloud did the self experiment following the regime of a US vitamin company over 5 months. He was prescribed 22 vitamins a day along with protein bars and pysllium fibre.

The result?

He had a doctor to check him before and after the experiment. Continue reading

The best protein powder for weight loss

Super Protein powderBy Guy Lawrence

If you are looking for the best protein powder that guarantees weight loss by simply consuming a weight loss protein powder, you have come to the wrong place.

No miracle cures or unhealthy rapid weight loss promises will be found on this website.

If you are looking for a protein powder that has artificial enhancing flavours, sugars or aspartame sweeteners to create the taste, we suggest you shop elsewhere (no offence intended).

But if you are looking to improve your health over time whilst understanding weight loss with good health is a life style and not a quick fix, then stick around.

We are nice chaps here at 180 nutrition and our website is a great resource for anyone that cares about what they put in their body.

We suggest the following before buying a protein powder for weight loss:

The Key To Better Health

In plain English, eat protein, natural fats and low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates for each meal. It should be high fibre, organic when possible, all your garden vegetables, especially greens, certain low GI fruits (berries are good), unprocessed meets, nuts, seeds, little starch and NO SUGAR!

Food is perishable, and not made to be processed, it was designed that way. Anything with an extra long shelf life is probably processed, be suspicious. Modern diets are ill suited for our genetic composition. Evolution has not kept pace with the advances in agriculture and food processing resulting in a plague of health problems for modern man.

If you follow these simple rules to food, and combine them with exercise, you’ll be amazed with the results. Your body will be extremely grateful.
