At the end of today's blog we look at another new trainer profile - Dieter Roose.

The science on sugar consumption is unequivocal. Eating large amounts of sugar is THE MOST EFFECTIVE to pile on the unwanted kilo’s. It’s also the most effective way to ensure you’re a candidate FOR HEART DISEASE and a list of other unwanted conditions... Nestlé is the World’s largest food company, it operates 456 factories and employs approximately 283,000 people worldwide. Much of its business revolves around making us FAT. And since that side of the business is doing so well, it has decided to branch into the diet industry too...

Is Nestle fattening us up just so they can sell us diets? David Gillespie from Raisin Blog

Nestlé is the name behind a vast range of sweeties (Kit Kat, Wonka, Smarties, Aero, Violet Crumble and Allen’s Sweets to name just a few) and their range of ice-cream is second to none (Peter’s, Dixie, Skinny Cow and Connoisseur are all part of the portfolio)

They also do a nice range of sugar filled ‘health food’. Including things like Fruit Fix (72% sugar), Nesquik (99% sugar), Milo (46% sugar), muesli bars (up to 31% sugar) and a huge range of cereals (under the Uncle Toby’s brand), boasting healthy gems like Healthwise (30% sugar) and Oats Temptations (34% sugar).

It’s perhaps a little less well known that Nestlé is also the company behind some of the biggest brands in the weightloss industry. They own the Optifast diet shakes promoted strongly by the doctors at the Wesley Hospital Weight loss centre, the Musashi brand of shakes and supplements for serious gym junkies and even the Lean Cuisine range of frozen diet meals.

I found all of those brands by looking (carefully) at the Nestlé web site. But strangely I didn’t find any mention of their biggest weightloss business - Jenny Craig. That’s right, Jenny Craig, the little ole diet outfit founded in Melbourne in 1983 (and purchased by Nestlé in 2006 – for over $800 million) is now one of the biggest weightloss corporations on the planet.

The science on sugar consumption is unequivocal. Eating large amounts of sugar is the most effective way to pile on the unwanted kilo’s. It’s also the most effective way to ensure you’re a candidate for heart disease and a list of other conditions that doesn’t bear thinking about.

By definition, Nestlé’s diet products and Jenny Craig programs are sold to people who are overweight. So Nestlé is selling those people a “cure” to a condition which was in no small part caused by consumption of Nestlé’s own products.

Trainer Profile:

Dieter Roose

Dieter is in the middle with a red singlet to his right is Paleo Dan Tarasenko! This is after the Sydney marathon in 2010.

Dieter Roose has been AWOL for almost a year. Dieter was also one of the CrossFit Norwest originals and joined back somewhere when Dana did in 2009. Dieter CrossFitted solidly for about a year and was an integral member of our original CrossFit Norwest team that travelled to the states in 2010. When Dieter returned he completed the the Sydney marathon in 3 hours 30mins with only CrossFit training. That is a tiny bit over 5min kms.

Dieter recently completed this cert 3 and cert 4 in personal training and just starting to train again at CrossFit Norwest. After his marathon efforts he ventured overseas to join the French Foreign Legion as he has always wanted to be part of an elite military outfit. Dieter never got the chance to try out as he had previous knee surgery and the Legion are renowned for turning back individuals who have had ANY surgical procedures. Dieter came back and worked in the city before hurting his other knee properly and at the moment he is recovering from a lateral meniscus repair.

When you see Dieter workout you will be amazed how a guy so big can move so quick and effortlessly. Dieter is around 100kg and is an imposing figure at 6'6. He can muscle up, snatch, clean and jerk, pull up...... Can do just about everything!

Today's WOD:

4 rounds NOT for time BUT for load!!!!

10 clean and jerks (touch and go)

rest

3 clean and jerks (touch and go)

rest

10 power snatch (touch and go)

rest

3 power snatch (touch and go)

*Goal is to lift heavy each set and not to lower the weight between sets of the same number.

eg if you do 60kg for 10 touch and goes in round 1 then round 2 of 10reps is 60kg or heavier.
