SOCIAL
Which of Network’s social media posts provoked the
biggest responses in recent months?
Food star ratings
‘There’s been a lot of talk about health star ratings recently.
Choice has compared a few similar products using the Health
Star Ratings...’
Silvestro: It is evident that there is clearly something
wrong with our nutrition information. My advice is to ‘Keep
it Real & Keep it Simple’ by consuming real whole foods.
The 1200 calorie myth
A link to a blog on calorie misinformation started: ‘Somehow,
somewhere, I was taught that if I want to have a flat stomach and
tight bottom, I need to limit my calorie intake to 1200 a day…’
Maryanne: For those with a lot of weight to shed,
without self discipline, calorie counting can be the
most beneficial way to help reduce the amount they
consume on a daily basis. However it should not
be one set figure, rather a suggested range.

Feeling grateful
An infographic on gratitude included these words: ‘If you have food in
your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place
to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world. If you have money…’
Karena: Very cool! Sometimes we all need to
be reminded how lucky we really are!
Jodie: OK, when u put it that way...
Has the Biggest Loser shed its final kilo?
Link to a news story on the alleged end to the current Australian
version of the competitive weight loss TV show.
Kerrie: I hope so. So much unrealistic expectations
for the rest of the fitness industry to deliver.
De: The first season I watched I was grossly overweight and I
learnt from that show alone, being healthy is a lifestyle choice
not a membership or a shake. … Biggest Loser showed
me that if 60 year old Bob or Margy can do it, so can I.

EMBRACING CHANGE
ALL ROUND!
At Australian Fitness Network we are truly living this year’s FILEX slogan ‘Embracing
Change’ in everything we do – including the redesign of this magazine! Network isn’t
the only publication we’ve overhauled, though – Network eNews, which is emailed to
members monthly, has also ‘had some work done’…
With a fresh design it still features the latest research findings and fitness
happenings to keep you in the know, but it now also incorporates PT, Group Ex/Mind
Body and Business-specific articles. A major reason for the shift to a new responsive
design is that so many of us are now living on our smartphones and tablets, and the
new format seamlessly adapts to whatever gadget you’re reading it on.
Every story and article also now enjoys its own page, making it simple to share
interesting research and fitness snippets at the click of a button – or tap of a screen.
If you’re not receiving Network eNews and think that you should be, please email
