No more fish oil fish burps!!!

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

You’re smart enough to know that there is no miracle pill. There’s no supplement or drug out there that’s going to change your life instantly as soon as you take it.
Miracle Pills don\'t work, try EFA Icon

But I’ll tell you what, a good Essential Fatty Acid supplement can come darn close. There are more and more research studies showing the enormous health and fat loss benefits of taking fish oil capsules.

- They help stabilize your blood sugar levels, which helps promote fat loss
Blood sugar levels need to be stable for maximum fat loss

- It can reduce inflammation to improve the health of your heart
A healthy heart is taking fish oils and EFA Icon

- They can also help decrease joint pain significantly
EFA Icon decreases joint pain in women and men

And a whole lot more.

Sounds great, right? Sure does, but the problem with Fish Oil has always been the same:

They make you burp like crazy!
Fish oil smell and make you burp says cows

Seriously, it really is pretty gross. Which is an amazing shame because they hold such promise.

The good news is I’ve found an Essential Fatty Acid supplement made from Krill Oil. And you know what? NO fish burps.

That’s right, you get the same powerful benefits you get from fish oil WITHOUT the burps! Oh, and did I mention Krill Oil has 47 times the antioxidant power of fish oil?!
Krill oil gives fish oil the benefit of fish oil but without the burps

The brand I use and recommend to all my clients is Prograde Nutrition’s EFA Icon.

I know the owners of Prograde and they are a brand I really believe in. There aren’t many supplement companies you can trust at all, nevermind online. But Prograde is a company you can put your faith in. I do.

So if you’ve been looking for a great EFA supplement WITHOUT the fish burps then look no further than Prograde’s EFA Icon. It really is all it’s cracked up to be.

For those that make it past their 2-week try out a free T-Shirt is awaiting. ‘What most of the campers are waiting for is the monthly prize drawing,’ Yun states, ‘We give away special T-shirts, sweatshirts, duffel bags, Prograde Supplements, gift cards, and camp discounts.’

Even with all the extra help that this Columbus Fitness Camp gives the most important factor still is the fact that Yun’s Boot Camps works.

Pre-Workout Nutrition For Ultimate Performance and Fat Loss [ARTICLE]

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Everybody probably knows what the #1 most important meal of the day is. It’s breakfast. That fact has been drilled into us since we were little. It sets your body’s tone and metabolism for the day. Fat loss is virtually impossible with out it.

Problem is a lot of people don’t know about this little fat loss secret I’m about to share with you. What you eat before a workout is one of the most important things you can do during the day for ultimate fat loss. Without a solid pre-workout nutrition regiment your post-workout meal will be a lot less effective.

The questions I get asked the most are ‘what’ and when’ to eat this meal. First off let’s talk about why you need to be eating this meal.

The pre-workout meal ensures that you will have adequate nutrition to make it through your workout. You should concentrate on getting fuel into your body. And the body’s best fuel source is carbohydrates. Most importantly you want to concentrate on complex or fibrous carbs, which are the carbs that give you sustained energy. What you are doing with these carbs is making sure that your glycogen levels (stored carbohydrates) are full, because when you workout your body pulls the carbs out of glycogen storage to be used as energy. So if you your levels are depleted, like when you wake up in the morning, and you skip the pre-workout meal then you have no glycogen to pull out. So the body will resort to pulling lean muscle tissue off your muscles to fuel the workout, which results in less muscle mass, decreased metabolism, and increased fat gain.

You also need to get a lean source of protein. Protein should be consumed with every meal regardless, to keep the protein (amino acid) stores up.

If you workout on an empty stomach your body doesn’t have any energy. You can’t give 100% intensity, and if you do you will most likely feel sick, light-headed, and nauseous. You will reach fatigue a lot quicker also.

When to eat this meal ideally would be at least 60 minutes before hand. And about 60-90 minutes is a good time range. This will give the body enough time to digest the meal and give the body a full dose of energy for the workout. If this is not possible, as in an early morning workout then 20-30 minutes should suffice, but the meal should be a lot lighter. Early morning workouts are ideal for a meal replacement shake, especially if you have trouble eating so early.

Now to the part you probably care, and want to know the most about—what to eat. The best carbohydrate source to eat before a workout would be oatmeal in milk, or some added whey protein if lactose intolerant. It supplies long lasting energy and is a good source of protein when combined with milk. Other things you could consider would be a bowl of cereal, peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and energy bars. But be careful with the bars, I only really recommend Lara Bars, Luna, Cliff Bars, and Prograde Cravers, other then that it pretty much is just eating a bunch of sugar and chemicals.
supplements are good fuel for a workout

Good choices of protein would be whey protein shakes, chicken breast, turkey breast, lean cuts of steak, fish, or meal replacement shakes or bars.

The meal replacement shake I use is Prograde Lean. It’s definitely the best tasting one I’ve found. And the whey protein I use is Buy Bulk Whey. It’s a natural protein, which is good because you can mix it with almost anything and it will maintain its flavor. I add it to yogurt, pancakes, Gatorade, fruit juices, and a lot of different recipes.

Are You Killing Your Taste Buds With Processed Foods?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

By Jason Yun CSCS, CISSN, YFS

There are about 10,000 taste buds on your tongue right now. Each one has a receptor that reacts to different substances and makes it possible for you to taste the foods you eat. There are five elements of taste: sour, bitter, salty, savory, and sweet. But did you know you can desensitize your taste buds?
taste buds Yun Training Bootcamps in Columbus

It’s true! That’s why when people try and switch over to an average ‘healthy’ diet from an average American diet they can’t do it. Well, most of the people can’t do it. The reason why is that these people are so used to adding stuff to their foods, or eating highly processed, sugar-loaded, fat-loaded, grease-loaded, overall-bad-for-you types of foods. This literally is killing your taste buds!

I am a firm believer in the power of food to keep you healthy. People that eat better are healthier and sick a whole lot less. Some people just think that if they get sick they can just get a prescription and feel better—but why waste the money? Food is nature’s medicine. Don’t go messing it up with added, unnatural stuff the body can’t use.

Over the years I have developed some ways to make my food taste better, which is an important trick in eating healthy. But a lot of people think that to lose body fat, or lose weight that they need to follow a super strict diet that bodybuilder’s use to get super lean for a contest. The typical meal plan consists of plain grilled chicken breasts, steamed broccoli, oatmeal, plain lean steak, canned tuna, and protein shakes. I’ve even known some bodybuilders who eat their oatmeal dry with absolutely nothing. Yuk!

This is an absolute disaster if you are not a bodybuilder and have a life. The diet is much too boring and plain. I can’t even do it, and I have tried.

So what do you do?

Well, like anything you need to have patience when moving from a ‘crap’ diet to a natural, healthy diet. Slowly but surely you need to reduce your foods that have the extra sugars, sweeteners, high fructose corn syrups. Watch the foods that have the added trans fats (anything listed with hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated). Some foods will surprise you what they have in them, so be sure to read the ingredients list.

All this extra stuff added to your food or drinks are taking away from the natural ability of your taste buds to taste real, natural, healthy foods.

I use natural peanut butter as an example. This is one of my favorite foods and I eat it everyday. It’s one of the healthiest sources of good fats you can get. But a lot of people, including me, hated the taste once I switched from the Jif/Peter Pan (fake) type peanut butters. But if you stick with it you grow to love this food. It usually only takes one jar of the natural peanut butter to get used to it, but it’s worth it. It’s just a process of re-acclimating your taste buds to natural, unprocessed foods.
Natural Peanut butter fitness Yun Columbus, Ohio

Again, switching from these added flavors will take time, so don’t be all gung ho and try to make the switch in a week, or even a month. You probably grew up on these types of foods, which is why it will be harder to make the switch. But the sooner you do the better it will be for you. You will be healthier, and you will feel better– because those unnatural types of foods are slowly killing you. Food is a drug, and the food companies know what is most addictive. All that added stuff is destroying your liver and other organs, and causing a roller coaster effect with some of the hormones in your body.
Sugar is bad

Try making 1 change a week. If you are using sweetener in your coffee/tea, lighten it up a little each week until you taste the natural flavors. If you use a lot of salt in your cooking, try making the switch to some healthy spices/herbs. Make the switch from cakes, pastries and sweets to all natural tasty fruits. The hard part is starting—so just ‘go for it!’

PLANNING FOR ROADBLOCKS

What can come at you and stop you in your tracks from reaching your goals? This is what you need to plan for and come up with strategies to break through these roadblocks and continue on your path to the new you.

What’s the #1 excuse I hear? Time. ‘I’m too busy. I don’t have time to workout, or make my meals’. Whatever. There is always hidden time somewhere in your day. The amount of time people waste throughout the day is astonishing. If you really want this, you will find the time to do it. If you want to continue on with your ways so be it. I can’t change you. It takes you. You have to want to change. Ask yourself ‘if I continue on with my ways, what will happen to me?’ Perhaps you will be extremely overweight, unhealthy. Maybe you will die young? Maybe you will get depressed? Maybe you will develop heart disease, stroke, cancer, or diabetes? If this is important to you, you will change and find the time to do it. Stop watching Lost or Grey’s Anatomy! Schedule your workouts and meals into your day like you brush your teeth or shower, and I promise you will become who you want to be.

Other excuses I hear are alcohol. Drinking alcohol is one of the worst things you can do when trying to burn fat. If you want to look good then you need a low to none alcohol consumption. What’s more important to you—looking good or getting wasted? Once you reach your goals you can go back to alcohol in moderation. But you have to commit to looking good. Remember alcohol is 7 calories per gram and has absolutely no nutritional value at all. If you drink heavily or often, a lot of what you drink will simply not be burned off and will be converted to fat. Not good for trying to look your best.

These are just a couple common roadblocks I have come across. They will vary from individual to individual. And you need to find out what they are and plan accordingly so you don’t get thrown off track. Find someone close to you that wants you to succeed at this. Social support is a critical component in the weight loss game. Don’t give in to peer pressure from friends, family, or others who don’t want you to succeed. Don’t let them sabotage your efforts by trying to get you to make poor food choices, or by taking you away from your workouts. Tell them your goals; if they want you to be successful keep them around for social support. If they don’t, try and limit your contact with them. Good luck!

WHAT AND WHEN?

Ok, now, what are you trying to get done and by what date. We already determined you want to look sexier. Great! Now we need to figure out what your objective goals will be needed in order to accomplish this and by what date.

In order to figure out, or track, the progress to ‘the what’ I have come up with 3 cost effective methods.

1. Weighing on a scale. This is the least important, but it gives you a number that you can obviously track. Losing weight, and only tracking on the scale you don’t know if it is fat, muscle, water, or a combination of all 3. The best way to track is through actual body fat percentage. Not the scales that measure body fat through your feet—they are completely inaccurate and a waste of time and money. When you weigh yourself on the scale you will weigh yourself initially, then not again until 2-weeks later. 4 weeks works even better. Body weight is a bad indicator of progress as you are trying to lose body fat and build lean muscle tissue. When you do this the scale might not change too much as muscle weighs more than fat. If the scale is too de-motivating for you don’t use it all. Try #2 or #3.
weight loss scale Yun Fitness
2. Dress/Pant Size: How are you clothes fitting you? This is a very effective and simple way to measure progress. As you lose fat and put on lean muscle tissue, your body will become slimmer and your clothes will start to not feel as tight. Before you start try and find a pair of pants or a dress you haven’t been able to fit into in a while and periodically try it on. By the time your goal date is reached you should be able to fit back into those skinny jeans! There really is nothing greater than being able to fit into clothes that you almost ripped when you used to try and put them on. You will feel ecstatic.
squeezing into pants Yun Nutrition
3. Digital Pictures: They don’t lie. You see everything in a picture. Big belly, hips, thighs, butt, arms, face. A picture will show you what’s wrong. If you want to look better naked then a picture is the best tracker you can use. When you take a before picture, you are telling yourself and everybody that ‘this is me on such and such date—look how awesome I look now!’ When you take this picture make sure you are wearing clothes you want to look good in the future- by your goal date. So maybe take the picture in a pair of pants or dress that you want to fit into mentioned in #2. Maybe it’s a tank top, or bikini, or bathing suit. If you want to look good naked, take it naked (just don’t put it on Flickr). Make sure when you take it you use similar lighting and take a front, both sides, and a back picture. Believe me, once you reach your goal these before pictures are going to be a trophy for you. You must do this if you are absolutely serious.

Ear infections increase the risk of obesity

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

ear infections increase risk of obesity and fat

Researchers at Florida surveyed 1,300 people and discovered that people who have history of ear infections had a 100% greater chance of developing obesity than those who didn’t.

The research suggests that ear infections damage a taste nerve that passes through the middle ear and damage to this nerve makes food taste creamier. I copied an article below that I think is pretty interesting.

I’m interested to hear your experience with ear infections and problems with obesity leave a comment below.

Copied from http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/08/080814154321.htm
Ear infections are a painful rite of passage for many children. New research suggests the damage caused by chronic ear infections could be linked to people’s preference for fatty foods, which increases their risk of being overweight as they age. Scientists from around the country presented their findings on this unexpected connection at the American Psychological Association’s 116th Annual Convention August 21.

Is Your Body Ready For Summertime, Columbus?!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Winter is over. Spring is almost over. Bathing suit season will soon be upon us. Have you lost that holiday weight yet? Have you put on a little extra in the first five months of 2009?
Summer time, Columbus, time for bathing suits

Well if so don’t you think it’s about time to change? Are you ready to slip into that bikini this summer? Or take that shirt off at the pool without being embarrassed?
Summertime is the time lose weight for Columbus residents

A good fitness routine will help you drop 4-8 pounds of unsightly body fat. But the most important aspect when it comes to losing body fat is intensity. It’s actually the most important factor weather or not your fitness program will be successful.

Now when it comes to intensity, nothing beats fitness bootcamps. Don’t expect to come into a class full of ‘easy’. ‘Easy’ is running on a treadmill for 30 minutes strait.

Bootcamp is 45 minutes of high-intensity intervals, weight training, abs, glutes, and thighs circuits. Everyday is different. It keeps the body guessing. Soreness is common. You get stronger faster and have fun. Again– you have fun while exercising.
Med Ball exercises intense

But where do you find such a place in Columbus?

The premier bootcamp in Columbus is Yun Fitness Boot Camps (yunbootcamps.com), based out of Hilliard, OH.

The class is taught inside a Martial Arts Studio for the morning camps and outside for the evening classes. Classes include various types of people from all different walks of life. From age 14 up to early 60′s. Men, women, children, students. Two people even drive down every morning from Springfield for the camp. Yes, it’s that good.

The camp is taught by Jason Yun, who is also the owner of the company. He is a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist. He adds even more to classes by providing his students nutrition handouts every week, and also has a 12-week nutrition course that has helped his students results skyrocket.

What makes people try this bootcamp workout? Like the various people in the class, the reasons are also different. Some have tried the Jenny Craig’s, Weight Watchers, Atkins, and every other diet under the sun and not seen results. Others can’t work out on their own, and need some motivation and accountability. Some can’t stand the gym and the same old boring routine. For others the gym is too intimidating for them.

The first impression you get from Yun’s bootcamp is a good one. For starters your first 2-weeks are free. Next each class starts off with a dynamic warmup– body weight movements to get the blood flowing to the major muscles and joints of the body. Hips, shoulders, knees, and low back need to be warmed for the pre-planned intervals to come. After about 6-12 minutes of intervals we move into the main workout of the day. Which will vary everyday but will include at least 6 different stations and/or exercise of varying difficulty. But all exercises are easily modified for beginners.

The program is guaranteed or your money back.

The next class starts May 26th. Spots will be limited for new campers and it is a first-come, first-served basis. So register online on soon as you can.

Visit http://www.yunbootcamps.com/specialoffer.html to register for 2-weeks free of Yun Fitness Bootcamps. Jason Yun is a certified strength and conditioning specialist and sports nutritionist. He is the owner of Yun Strength and Fitness Systems, LLC where he has helped 100′s of people get into the best shape of their lives.
