Inspired by the latest Government initiatives to cut obesity, exciting new, revolutionary initiative, the Arriba 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge, comes to the cities of Manchester and Salford, and there could be one around you too!

Eating healthily and lowering the risk of obesity related diseases is easier said than done and long term weight loss is only achieved through understanding how our body works and what constitutes a nutritionally balanced diet. It is exactly through applying that knowledge it is possible to make the right changes to our diet to ensure not only long term weight loss, but also healthy digestion, healthy heart, healthy aging, healthy immune system etc.

At the same time, it is exactly that knowledge that the majority of people who need it the most lack making it difficult to make any real, long term progress. Many weight loss programs around do not offer this sort of support and concentrate solely on weight loss ignoring nutritional demands of the body, causing well known yo-yo dieting effect.

The Arriba Weight Loss Challenge is a 12 week workshop conducted by weight loss and wellness coaches, initialised by Herbalife International, world leader in weight loss and nutrition, where participants, regardless of what weight loss program they follow, meet weekly to follow up their weight loss progress, are empowered with advice on nutrition and healthy food choices covering topics like Importance of Protein, Reading Food Labels, Good and Bad Fats, Good and Bad Carbs, Understanding Metabolism, Importance of Exercise, Heart Health, Healthy Breakfast, Importance of Water, etc.

The cost of 12 week Weight Loss Challenge workshop is an equivalent of £3.00 per week, thats is £35 for a 12 week perod making it very affordable. Majority of the registration fee goes back to the participants in terms of Weekly Gift Prizes, Free Healthy Beverages and Snacks and Cash Prizes to the three biggest losers at the end of 12 weeks.

Three biggest losers will have a chance to win up to £600 between them, final winner's pot depending on the number of total participants. Participants are free to use any method of weight loss they wish, but those who best apply the information we give in our weekly training sessions are likely to be the ones who win the competition.

Most of all, it will be FUN and we envisage it to be the place where participants will feel comfortable to come together and compete in a friendly atmosphere with one another, keep track of their progress, share knowledge and experiences, get advice on healthy eating, get necessary recognition and earn some much needed cash in this financial climate!

More details on the Arriba Weight Loss Challenge

Wellness Clubs are being launched in the UK. Here are some of the first few locations: Brighton and Hove, Tring, Whistable, Peterborough, Southampton and Glenrothes,. Basically the goal of the clubs is simple--to help each new member to make better diet and lifestyle choices that lead them towards achieving their personal wellness goals. Now, although weight loss may come into it, they believe their approach is more is more focused on general wellbeing than say your typical weight loss clubs.

Every attendee is offered a comprehensive wellness questionnaire, professional body composition analysis and advice on simple changes they can make to improve their lifestyle.

First of all height and age is recorded then you stand on the scales. Now, this isn't just any old set of scales. This is a Body Composition Monitor. This helps to calculate body composition by sending a low safe electrical signal through the body. The signal passes freely through fluids contained in lean tissue, such as muscle and blood, but meets resistance passing through fat tissue. The monitors accurately measure this resistance and use it to calculate elements of body composition. You find out your body fat%, total body water %, visceral fat%, physique rating and finally your metaboloic agse which you can compare to your actual age!

You complete a questionnaire (don't panic it's only 14 questions) about your general diet and exercise to which you answer either Yes or No. You score points on your answers and these give you a Wellness Evaluation Score. The more honest you are in your answers will ensure that you are given the best possible advice and that advice will cover diet, exercise and simple rules that can have a dramatic impact on your overall health.

The Community Wellness Club meetings give their members the opportunity to receive regular guidance and inspiration from like minded people that have decided to make their health a priority. To meet the growing demand for support and information New Clubs are being launched all over the country.

So, how much does this cost? Your first visit is FREE! There is no joining fee and if you decide to keep attending then it is £10.00 per every four weeks or £3.00 per week if you don't want to pay in advance. Here's an even better bit - there are no penalties for missed classes! A further expansion will be "Wellness Clubs" in the workplace.

And look out for the Wellness Club Challenge where you can win £300 in time for Christmas. More details here:
