La Ionica Chicken

You’ll never forget the taste of a La Ionica Chicken. The old fashioned taste of natural, healthy chicken turns every dish into a mouth-watering experience. Grill it, bake it, bbq it, stir fry it. The chemically free process means that your La Ionica chicken, is healthy and tender with the meat retaining its natural juices. The way chicken should be.

You probably want to know why our chicken is so tender, succulent and processed chemically free. Our unique taste and quality is due to the Innovative process we use for every bird. We are the only chicken processor on mainland Australia to use the premium European method of “air chilling”, a process which does not involve the use of traditional spin – chillers filled with ice water and chlorine.

• A great tasting natural product
• A natural, appetizing pink flesh
• Firm and healthy meat that retains its natural juices
• You get what you pay for. No excess water
• Extended shelf life

I can contest to their products. Now I’ve eaten all sorts of different types of chicken and I have to say that this is simply the most delicious chicken I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now obviously I’m restricted to what I can eat at the moment so the only thing I do with it is cook it in a little bit of sunflower oil and shallots, that’s it! It simply melts in my mouth and is so tender and juicy, the flavour is incredible. Seriously if you can get this you just have to try it, at least once anyway. :o )

The Amazing Human Body Exhibition

4

by Lia Halsall


I’m taking a break and typing this blog while I give my poor brain a break from studying exercise science. It’s certainly not my favourite subject but it is challenging and I’m learning many new things so that is good. Which reminds me one of the boy’s here at work was telling me yesterday about The Amazing Human Body Exhibition in Melbourne.

“The Amazing Human Body, is an educational exhibit that is intended to provide audiences with a unique and educational perspective on the inner working of the human body by viewing real human specimens, preserved through a method called “plastination”. The specimens are dry and odorless, and remain unchanged for a virtually unlimited amount of time, making them truly accessible. These characteristics lend plastinated specimens inestimable value both for training prospective doctors and for educating non-professionals in the field of medicine. The exhibition presents approximate 400 real human specimens, including 18 whole bodies and individual organs. Audiences can learn how their own bodies are constructed as they walk through the exhibition, starting with the human skeleton and the way muscles are structured, on to the intestines and special specimens on the nerves and blood vessels, all the way to the way a baby develops in the uterus. There are also specimens that show the effects of disease such as a heart attack or cancer. It can teach children about human physiology and help adults learn how to lead healthier lives. Additional, the exhibit also allows for audiences to better understand diseases, including cancer, high blood pressure, the effects of smoking and the use of artificial supports such as knees and hips.”

This is where I’m off to this weekend with my wonderful husband. It’s a great opportunity to further my understanding and knowledge towards my Cert IV. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to report back after it and fill you in on all the details.

Well my tootsies are getting cold so I’m going to put some socks on, enjoy the rest of yoru evening. Good night. xx

Hello everyone,

I wanted to personally follow up and let you all know that I am very excited about coming to Australia in 2008. I know many of you were disappointed about this year, so was I. I want everyone to understand that I wish it was as easy as jumping on a plane and coming over to work with you, however that is not the case. This is a business and your country is an expensive place. This year the camp was postponed because of lack of payments, not registrations. WE had plenty of girls but we did not have all the money collected to pay for my airfare, hotels, food, etc,,,, so I was taking a huge risk at possibly being in the hole once I got there.

For 2008, this can not happen again. So to eliminate this process we will put a dead line for registrations up for January 1st. I at least need you to register your pre registration by then and then we will work on your balance payments in January. I hope you understand. WE will be very up front and honest with you and ultimately I will make the final decisions and what is in the best interest of Phat Camp. I will tell you that if you need to buy a ticket to come to the camp , do not buy it till January. I will know if I am coming for sure or not in January 2008.

Thank you for hanging with me and please know that I really want to come back and work with each of you and inspire you to become your best. Have a blessed day and feel free to email me personally with any questions.

Sincerely,
Jen Hendershott

Salicylates, Amines & Glutamate

6

by Lia Halsall

These are the three natural chemicals of which are in food that we eat every day. For me on the other hand are food that I’m now avoiding. Not an easy task but also not impossible. The first couple of days I was Little Miss Cranky Pants but now that we’ve fine tuned my food and my body has adjusted things are travelling along nicely. My favourite meal is my breakfast, I have to admit I now LOVE PORRIDGE. Never in a million years would I have thought that those two words would ever come out of my mouth but they have. Standing up, “My name is Lia and I love Porridge!

So here’s a little information about the three types of natural chemicals:

SALICYLATES are a family of plant chemicals found naturally in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs and spices, jams, honey, yeast extracts, tea and coffee, juices, beer and wines. They are also present in flavourings (e.g. peppermint), perfumes, scented toiletries, eucalyptus oils, and some medications (ASPIRIN is a member of the salicylate family).

AMINES come from protein breakdown or fermentation. Large amounts are present in cheese, chocolate, wines, beer, yeast extracts and fish products. They are also found in certain fruits and vegetables, e.g. bananas, avocados, tomatoes and broad beans.

GLUTAMATE is a building block of all proteins, and is found naturally in most foods. In its free form, not linked to protein, it enhances the flavour of food. This is why foods rich in natural glutamate are used in many meals, for example tomatoes, cheeses, mushrooms, stock cubes, sauces, meat extracts and yeast extracts. Pure monosodium glutamate (MSG) can also be used as an additive to increase the flavour of soups, sauces, Asian cooking and snack foods.

Nothing in life is impossible unless we make it impossible. In the past I’ve used every feasible excuse there is for pretty much everything in my life and if there’s one thing this sport has helped me learn about myself is that there’s no room for excuses anymore.

On another note I’m back riding to and from work five days a week. Oh boy, have I lost my bike fitness over winter. Not to worry though, it’ll be back in next to no time. It’s already feeling better, thanks to muscle memory. I don’t really consider bike riding to and from work as cardio, it’s more my means of transportation so we’ll call it lifestyle cardio.

Hi All!!

WOW how crazy fast this year is flying by!! Before we know it, it will be 2008!

I am sending this email because we have just confirmed the dates for PHAT CAMP, with the Amazing Ms O, Jenny Hendershott for this coming March. Jenny will be coming Down-Under with the Phat Camp Team for the Melbourne camp, March 14 – 16, and then onto the Sydney Camp, March 21 – 23 2008. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS OUT! (sorry guys – no Queensland this year, but Sydney is only 1 hour by plane, and Melbourne is only 2 hours, and a great short break destination!!)

Every year we do new training routines and cardio sessions as well as cover all kinds of fitness-related topics in our seminars. Even if you have attended before, you will learn so much new stuff and meet tons of new people like YOU, so you definitely should come back to Camp!

Due to lack of final payments last year, we are starting registrations SUPER early this year so that people have time to arrange their schedules etc…

Melbourne and Sydney Phat Camps have started taking registrations this week, so please visit www.getphatwithjen.com to get in on this AWESOME experience! REGISTRATION FOR Australian Camps WILL BE CLOSING JANUARY, 2008.

The cost of the camp will be $300 US for THREE DAYS and all the extra goodies you get such as training routines, recipes, cardio programs, workout tips and giveaways. There is a $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT due to hold your spot, or you can just pay for it all up front.

All the details will be posted soon at www.getphatwithjen.com, or you can email me at donna@getphatwithjen.com with any questions you might have about camp

Looking forward to seeing everyone in March,

Stay Fit and Stay “PHAT”!
~Donna and the PC Team
