How to keep those healthy eating resolutions – in January and beyond
By ARA Website
For many of us, the season of gluttony begins with candy-laden Halloween, continues through bountiful Thanksgiving and festive Christmas, and wraps up with party-time New Year’s Eve. January hopefully represents a clean slate and, for many people, a cleaner plate.
While lifestyle and diet resolutions are not new, the new year is still a welcome and opportune time to make a fresh start in healthy eating, including developing better snacking habits.
Indeed, finding snacks that fit into a resolved new way of eating is not always easy, especially when snacks have long been viewed as an indulgent reward. The good news for those intent on starting 2011 with a different snacking mindset is that a wider array of better-for-you products are available and the overall approach to eating better is more focused on sensibility than on fleeting fads….
Find out more about healthy eating for your new year resolutions, the scoop on protein and how to reduce your waistline AND make a positive impact on your environment…

Elevate Me in Europe

New blogger/athlete/ambassador: Nicola Gildersleeve
October 6, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
I first off want to say how tremendously excited I am to be an Elevate Me athlete/ambassador. Not only have I been using Elevate Me energy bars as fuel for years now, I have also had the pleasure of knowing the owner’s, Trish and Earl Ellingson.
I first discovered Elevate Me organic energy bars through a friend I worked with at North Shore Athletics. He was diagnosed with Celiac disease a few years ago and had to change his diet drastically. One of the things he was able to fuel himself on were Elevate Me health bars. Besides being Gluten-Free they are packed with whey protein, making them the perfect snack on the go for a hungry athlete. I have experimented with a lot of different energy bars and Elevate Me protein bars are THE BEST! My favorite is the Acai Berry Bar.
Background:
I grew up playing team sports, mainly soccer and basketball. After high school I went on to play Varsity Basketball at Capilano College for 2 years. It was during these years that I discovered my passion for running. After College, I trained for my first marathon and I absolutely fell in love with the sport. I went on to work at North Shore Athletics and a co-worker introduced me to Ultramarathon running. Since then, I haven’t looked back and have run distances such as 50km, 50 miles, and 100km. I hope to run my first 100 miler in 2010! Many of the ultramararthon’s I have done are on the trails. I love spending time running in nature and it is definitely where I feel most at ease. There is something magical about running in the trees listening to the sounds of the river flowing along side the trail.
After Capilano College I transferred to U.B.C to finish my Human Kinetics Degree. I ran on the track and field/cross country team for 2 years. I currently work as a Personal Trainer and run coach in North Vancouver. I work with a wide variety of clientele who have their own individual goals. Some people want to lose weight, improve core strength, learn to run, and/or gain strength and improve balance and flexibility. I am also a Certified Lactate Threshold Tester through F.a.C.T Canada. This certification allows me to measure your current level of fitness and provide training recommendation based on your own personal physiology.
I am very passionate about health and fitness and I am proud to support and promote a health product I believe in.
Past Accomplishments:
2007:
- Iron Knee 25km: 2nd place female, 16th overall/Time: 1:51 (First time)

Whey Protein Bars and Active Lifestyle Contest
September 22, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Hi, this is Coreylee here. I’ve managed to make it though my first few months and things are heating up. That being said summer is almost over and the nights are getting cooler. This is perfect weather for evening walks and trail running.
But are you getting enough protein?
Protein is the building block of muscle, so you’re protein requirements will increase with any form of training. A lack of protein will result in muscles loss, a weaker immune system, slower recovery time and less energy.
Try this simple calculator: The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein is 0.36 grams per pound of body weight or 56 grams of protein a day for the average male and 46 grams for the average female. For people with an active lifestyle the protein requirements jump to 1.7 grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight. If you want to build muscle as fast as possible, you will need at least 2.5 grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight.
Why Whey?
Whey protein contains amino acids such as leucine which increases protein synthesis and speeds up recovery time. Studies have also shown that whey protein increases cellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is an antioxidant that combats free radicals in the body and helps reduce the risk cancer.
Now for the fun stuff!
Here at Elevate Me! We are running a contest for the best Elevate Me! picture. The first 3 people to send in a picture of you and your Elevate Me! bar doing any of the fantastic sports you enjoy, be it yoga, running or simply walking in Lynn Canyon will receive a box of Elevate Me! bars.
Start sending in those awesome pictures now!!

ElevateME! Protein Bar Back to School Sale
September 1, 2009 by admin · 1 Comment
Hi, this is Coreylee, the new marketing manager here at Elevate Me! We would like to announce our Back to School Sale which is on now!
For just a few days save $2.00 per box of bars as we welcome you back to school and work!
This is a great time to start planning those lunches and getting organized as we head into September.
The brain is a hungry organ that cannot function at optimal levels without the proper fuels. To keep the brain functioning at top performance, diets packed with brain boosting essential fatty acids and good quality proteins are a must! Next to water, protein makes up most of the weight of our bodies. Muscles, organs, hair, nails and ligaments are all composed of protein, so it’s obvious why protein is an important part of the diet.
This is your chance to try a flavour you haven’t tried before or to stock up on the ones you love. Keep these bars in your car, your gym bag and at your desk and next time you are hungry and need a snack, do something healthy for yourself and your brain and reach for a low fat, high fibre Elevate Me protein bar!
Enjoy!

ElevateME Protein Bars – Update
August 4, 2009 by admin · 1 Comment
It’s been awhile, so busy my apologies. Let’s see, we hired a great new Marketing Manager, Coreylee has joined the team and we’re thrilled and excited to welcome her to the team. She has a pretty big job ahead, helping us grow our Elevate Me! bars to feed more hungry athletes, students, employees, employers, kids, teens and well you get the idea. We’re going to be launching some swag so I’ve had a few emails for stuff like t-shirts but keep ‘em coming and if we do it you get the first one produced.
We just signed on with Canadian Sports Centre Pacific so we will be working closely with hundreds of professional and Olympic caliber athletes to fuel their incredibly arduous training, with the Olympics here in a few months the timing is perfect. We’ve already sold tons of bars to the snowboarders, speedskaters, lugers, ski jumpers etc., Now we just need to share our bars with all the pro sports teams out there, once they try them they’re hooked, so that helps.
We’re offering some guerrilla freebies away so let’s start now: the first 3 people to email me at info@prosnack.com and mention the codephrase “Flumoxed by Calamity” will get a free mix box sent in the mail, no strings…offer good now until Aug 7th 2009….keep on enjoying the ridiculous summer heat.
in GOOD health,
Earl Ellingson
Chief ELEVATE ME! Officer
