Project HEAT in the News!
Proud of East Texas
If you've made your New Year's resolutions for 2011, losing weight is probably in there somewhere since it's the number one New year's resolution for Americans. According to popular Chef Christian Chavanne, "Go Fresh Go Fit" is the answer.
Chavanne and his wife Fredna are founders of the "Go Fresh Go Fit" campaign, educating the public and especially children, on the importance of eating fresh foods for health and longer life. Chavanne, a native of the French Riviera, has been a chef for over forty years, specializing in spa food.
He doesn't like to use the word "dieting" because he says eating fresh food without all the extra fats and sugars accomplishes the desired effect in a healthy, tasty way.

Other priorities are set by each community.
