The co-founder of Prograde Nutrition recently sat down with the other co-founder, and head of product development, Jayson Hunter R.D for a quick interview on anti-aging nutrients.
Most people I know want to stay young, including myself! Check this interview out:
Antioxidant anti aging nutrients
Jayson Hunter and Jim Labadie of Prograde Nutrition discuss anti-aging nutrients to keep you young
You can’t really miss it on the Internet these days. Seems like everywhere you look there’s another company promoting the nutritious Acai Berry as a weight loss miracle. It’s all a bunch of hub bub trying to get suckers to buy into it. And if you have been suckered don’t feel bad, it’s genius marketing on their part. 
And that’s why I thought it was critical to write you today. We want to make sure you know my opinion on the subject.
First, you know better than to believe you’re going to pop some pills – ANY pills – and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic. 
If you’ve been listening to me for any length of time you know true fat loss comes from a variety of factors, including exercise and proper nutrition. Consistency and effort need to be put forth everyday to achieve the results.
Second, any fitness expert worth their fees will tell you that any diet that promotes you eat any one food all day long and then eat a sensible dinner, well, don’t bother.
Yes, you will lose some weight short-term, but as soon as you go back to your old eating habits – and you know you will – you know exactly what happens. Metabolism slows to snail’s paces, fat burning is non-existent, muscles get eaten off your body to survive. The yo-yo effect 
Third, the Acai Berry contains VERY powerful antioxidants and it is getting a lot of good press for that very reason. Yes, antioxidants as in the extraordinary nutrients that help fight the free radicals associated with aging, cancer risk and other degenerative diseases. It’s a super food.
And while on the subject, I wanted to fill you in on something that has recently come to light. Did you know that coffee berries (the berry that covers the coffee bean) is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet? It’s something researchers have discovered here in recent years.
What’s really cool is my boys at Prograde Nutrition have created an amazing Whole Foods based Anti-Aging formula called Prograde Longevity that includes both Acai Berry and Coffee Berry. Oh, and it also utilizes Green Tea, Pomegranate, Wolf Berry and Biovin Grape (Red Wine extract.) 
Just to give you an idea of how powerful this formula is, well, you’d have to eat an entire POUND of raspberries to get the same ORAC value. And in case you’re not familiar with the term, ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.
The best part is you can now try Prograde Longevity for free! Just click here to get your free bottle today.
PS – Remember, Prograde Longevity is NOT some silly weight loss pill. It is a powerful combination of anti-oxidants specifically designed to give you extraordinary protection against dangerous Free Radicals.
From Ohio no less
Lazy man walks dog by driving in car and holding leash, this is why America is so fat and the country is falling behind economically
Weight loss pills have been around for years. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry every year. And it is showing no signs of slowing down. With Americans weighing in more and more every year at the current rate for adult obesity ranging around 25%. 1 in 4. 23 states actually increased their obesity rates from 2007 to 2008 and not a single state actually decreased.
So as you can see weight loss pills are here to stay. With millions and millions of people trying to lose weight and excess body fat the industry will only get richer. 
But what is a good weight loss pill. Is it an actual weight loss pill, a fat burner, a hunger suppressant, or another type?
It’s true there are some bogus companies out there trying to make a quick buck on people’s pain and suffering. That’s true with all types of industries. But the people that buy into these fly-by-night companies and their savvy marketing campaign 
get sucked in, the pill doesn’t work, and they feel even worse now.
What is a person to do?

The Columbus-based ‘Yun Fitness Bootcamps” will be starting a unique new tradition. Yun Fitness Bootcamps will be putting on their Freaky Fat-Loss Halloween Pumpkin Workout. For the entire workout the only piece of equipment needed will be you and a Pumpkin. The workout will take place at the Dexter Falls Park on October 17th @ 9:15 am.
The workout will be a charity workout and 100% of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Central Ohio Region.
“If you don’t think you can get a good workout in from just a pumpkin think again. A pumpkin can be used to simulate a medicine ball,” says owner and head trainer of Yun Fitness Bootcamps, Jason Yun. “Obviously some of the throwing exercises can’t be performed with a pumpkin, but beginners and experienced athletes, alike, will ‘feel the burn’. Working out on a consistent basis is not easy, but finding ways to keep your workouts interesting, like using a pumpkin, will definitely help.”
The workout will be made even more interesting if the participants decide to wear their Halloween costumes. The costumes are optional, but will add some interesting flavor to the workout. “Imagine walking by the park and seeing a clown, princess or Dracula doing jump squats with a bright, orange pumpkin. It will be quite a scene,” remarked Yun.
The Halloween event benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Central Ohio Region, which is an organization Yun works closely with and personally supports. Minimum donations of at least $15 are required to join the workout.
Women are encouraged to bring a pumpkin in the range of 10 pounds and men closer to the 20 pound range. The Freaky Fat-Loss Halloween Pumpkin Workout is open to everybody in Columbus and the surrounding area.

Get Strong, Get Fit, and Look Better Naked!
Ok, so you know Vitamins and Minerals are important. Most every woman knows that.
However, not everyone understands WHY they are so important for their body. So I recently asked Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter to give us the easy rundown on the Top Women’s Vitamins. Here’s what he had to say:
Vitamin A – This vitamin contributes to the health of you eyes, skin and nails.
Vitamim B – While B Vitamins are often referred to as “energy vitamins” they don’t actually give you a surge of energy, per se. What they actually do is help facilitate metabolic reaction in the body to create energy. They’re also necessary for a healthy metabolism.
Vitamin C – This women’s vitamin is a great antioxidant and immune system booster. It also helps skin health.
Vitamin D – Helps women absorb calcium. And it may help prevent certain types of cancer.
calcium – It’s actually a mineral not a vitamin. And as most women know already, it improves bone density.
Pretty simple, right? But you can also see why it’s so important to understand vitamins for women. Especially if you are a woman. When we understand the reasons to make healthier choices it helps us make them.
Now, I get asked all the time by women which vitamin supplements, if any, they need to be taking. Great question.
Well, if your nutrition is 100% perfect all the time then you probbaly don’t need to take any.
But that’s not the case for most women. Most women are busy as heck and don’t always find the time for proper nutrition. So if that’s the case with you I recommend taking a Whole Foods based Multi-Vitamin. And the only one I recommend is Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+ for Women.
It’s actually really cool because it’s literally made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits. You should definitely check out Prograde’s Women’s Vitamins. At the very top of the page is the list of ingredients. You can see the 25 whole foods they use to make VGF 25+ for Women.
Pretty cool, huh? The nutrtion of 25 whole foods in a bottle!
Well, the guys over at Prograde Nutrition have done it again. This time they’re giving you every incentive to beat the Lazy Days of Summer and make sure you don’t skip your workouts.
They’re put their research based Prograde Workout recovery shake on sale! It’s 10% off all this week.
Now, the really cool thing about his product is all the science behind it. Most people just don’t realize how important pre and post-workout nutrition is.
Post workout nutrition is the second most important meal of the day. Skip this meal and your body is going to struggle getting back to pre-workout states. Plus the fact that all your stored carbs are gone and muscles are screaming for protein. Fat loss will be minimal without this meal. Who wants that. Put in the effort to blast through a great workout and then blow it by skipping your post-workout nutrition.
If it’s a time thing not any more. Prograde Workout is here to save the day like Mighty Mouse at a Cheese Factory 
or Rambo at a deserted Vietnam Prison Camp. 
Oh, and on this page you will also find all the details on how to save 10% off Prograde Workout.

Be Strong!
My opinion of diets is not very good. I think they suck. 99.9% of them. If someone is trying to lose weight the last thing I recommend is for somebody to go on a diet.
Why? You see most diets do nothing but cause you to lose weight. It’s a serious problem. I know your asking yourself ‘…but don’t I want to lose weight?’ Yes and no. I’ve probably confused you by now. You see, you don’t want to lose weight, you want to lose fat!
When you lose weight you are in an all out quest to make the scale move down. With no regards to the most important thing in the world when it comes to fat loss—your metabolism. Diets usually cause a loss of weight, but they make your hard earned muscle tissue shrink and cause you to lose a lot of water. Muscle and body water levels are two of the most important factors when it comes to metabolism.
Now from a nutritional standpoint you need to get a good, healthy balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats in your diet to rev your metabolism up. Now I might confuse you a little more. I have 2 definitions of diets. 1.) The food you eat is your diet. 2.) The fad things that you ‘go on’ to lose weight is a diet. Now you want to skip #2 in favor of #1. And you want to make #1 a lifestyle and not a chore. You need to make #1 a habit in your life. Just like Grey’s Anatomy, or Oprah, or College Football Saturday’s. Then, and only then, will you to start to get the ball rolling towards the body of your dreams.
Let’s use two people as an example. I’m sure you are quite familiar with one or the other. Maybe one is you, or someone you know. Person A we will call her Adrian. Adrian is a person who goes on a variety of diets, whatever is the flavor of the month at the time. The reason she does this is because she continues to lose weight on them. But as soon as she stops the diet the weight comes back on. Sometimes more than before. You may know this as Yo-Yo dieting. The reason she stops the diet in the first place is because she stops seeing the results. Which usually means her metabolism is running on empty and her body’s lean muscle tissue has been eaten away.
Now Adrian is angry and the drive that was there when she started the diet is gone, because she is putting in all this effort and getting nothing in return. And most of the time when she reaches this point in her diet, she starts getting sick a lot and starts to feel little aches and pains everywhere. This is because a slow metabolism and poor nutrition will lead to a decreased immune system.
So this is the point Adrian decides to ditch the diet, and go back to her ways before the diet. Then a few months down the line when Adrian has put the weight back on and usually more she finds a new diet to go on, and the cycle continues on and on. However, this isn’t a problem for person #2, we’ll call him Donnie. Donnie found out early on in life that limiting his food intake led to poor performances in everything from school, sports, job, and life.
He focuses on eating nutrient dense foods throughout the day and drinking plenty of water. He doesn’t let himself get hungry so he feeds himself with good food choices every 2-4 hours eating at least 5 times a day.
It isn’t a hassle for him either. He knows it’s more of a hassle if he skips a meal or puts junk in his system. That is when he starts feeling bad inside and out. He rarely is ever sick, and maintains a high level of lean muscle tissue and low body fat year round.
Now both of those people and scenarios were made up. But I have known quite a few people on both sides of those fences. It is all about choosing between A Diet, and Your Diet.
Remember what A Diet does? Weight loss- plateau- frustration- anger- failure- weight gain-continuing cycle.
Your Diet results in: Fat loss- increased metabolism- lean muscle tissue- habit- lifestyle- body you want.
It is not rocket science. Its just nutrition made simpler for you.
