Apparently I’m Fat!- Spammers are getting cute

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Here is a message I got today from an obvious spammer. It’s kind of funny, if I really were overweight I would be insulted. I took out the website they directed me to cause I don’t want them getting their desired result.

Hey there,

We are buds in the real world, but I am using this random email cuz I need to tell you this without revealing myself.

Well the thing is that you’re getting overweight. I realize that its a little mean of me, but I sense that you needed to be aware of it. I did not feel like telling you in person cuz I don’t want to ruin our relationship and I don’t want you angry with me.
I truly think that you need to do something it, and I have tried to help. Ive been doing some surfing on google and I actually stumbled upon something significant.
Its an easy new thing, but it seems like it’s reasonably large-scale already. I got a few reviews and a lot of people that I heard from are extremely happy with it. Surprisingly, I also found out that my Aunt used the same method a few months ago and when I asked her about it she was 100% delighted with it.
I told her about your position with this and she greatly recommends this. She also gave me some advice for you, that you must be patient and that it will all pay off eventually.

The product is BLAH they even offer a free trial now as well.
I unquestionably believe that you need to at least use it for a little and see where it goes. I am frankly just trying to help out, I want you to be happy.
Dropping a few pounds will should make an impression on you know who as well,

Good Luck
-Your friend

BTW, as i said before this is a fake account I got so don’t reply to this.

Vegetables that help you to fight belly fat

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I bet you didn’t know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against abdominal fat.

belly fat can be reduced by eating vegetables and fruit says Columbus Personal Trainer Jason Yun

Let me explain what they are and why…

First of all, if you’ve already grabbed a copy of Mike Geary’s new Fat Burning Kitchen Program then you may already know about how certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can act as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to that have an estrogenic effect and excess exposure can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems.

So here’s where this specific class of vegetables comes in handy…
Vegetables can help you burn fat and lose weight
One of those cool tricks that Mike teaches in his Fat Burning Kitchen program is that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds…

And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this can help you fight against abdominal fat!

So there you go… just another excuse to do what mom always told you and eat more broccoli!

woman eating broccoli makes you look sexy and lose weight

In case you haven’t picked up your copy yet, he gives away at least 12 other specific foods, teas, spices, etc that help to combat the xenoestrogens and can help you to burn abdominal fat faster in his new program…

Pass this blog post onto your friends… I bet you’ll shock them with this article about xenoestrogens and how broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts can help to fight the battle against abdominal fat.

Vitamin help for women: Best vitamins for women to take!

Friday, September 11th, 2009

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.
vitamin a is very important for fat loss for women

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 B gives you energy to fuel your workouts for fat loss

Vitamin C – This women’s vitamin is a great antioxidant and immune system booster. It also helps skin health.
Vitamin C recomends get your vitamin C for health and recovery from fat burning workouts

Vitamin D – Helps women absorb calcium. And it may help prevent certain types of cancer.
Sunshine gives you vitamin D for health and vitality

calcium – It’s actually a mineral not a vitamin. And as most women know already, it improves bone density.
Moo cow riding a bike you get your calcium from milk

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!

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

- It can reduce inflammation to improve the health of your heart

- They can also help decrease joint pain significantly

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!

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?!

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.

Don’t forget to sign up for the free e-newsletter and also get the fat loss starter kit!

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.

Flexbands– The ultimate portable gym

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Just wanted to let you in on a little secret in my fitness arsenal. They’re called flexbands, and are one of the best pieces of equipment you can get for a home gym, or if you travel a lot. I use them in bootcamp practically everyday. Below is an article I wrote on them to give you a little introduction on them. They are sweet!

I first learned about flexbands back in 2005. I learned about them from Louie Simmons from Westside Barbell in Columbus, who has used them to earn the reputation of the “strongest gym in the world”. Flexbands are basically giant rubber bands.

They are a layered band and are 41 inches in length and come in different sizes and strengths. They can give you as little as 5 pounds of resistance or as much as 200 pounds of resistance.

Now today I want to talk about what they can do for the general/average person in terms of fitness.

For starters, the band can pretty much replicate any exercise you can do with a dumbbell or barbell. The main difference between the band and those two implements are the band gets harder towards the end of the movement (when the band is stretched out the most). With a dumbbell or barbell it is hardest at the bottom of the movement.

Bands are the ultimate portable gym. With each one weighing less than two pounds and can easily fold or bend into any bag. If you travel a lot for pleasure and business the bands are a must.

They can easily attach to other objects, like a post, fence, or chin up bar. Or they can attach to another band. Attaching bands to something sturdy will give you the opportunity to train with a band in each hand. This will enable you to perform an abundance more of exercise, increase the level of difficulty, and increase your recruitment of the surrounding stabilizing musculature.

You can also attach bands to each other. Doing this and attaching them to something sturdy will allow you to perform resisted running/walking, animal walking, power jumping. It is also a great way to train with a partner by attaching each band around the waist of each other.

You can also attach flexbands to other implements to make normal everyday exercises even more challenging. This was the original use I had found out about when I first discovered bands. Adding them to a barbell, dumbbell, or even a kettlebell. This can either be a super advanced method or a beginner’s method depending on the amount of weight you use and the amount of band tension you select. But it changes the feel of the movement dramatically, which is excellent for muscle confusion and constant progress as you stay away from those dreaded plateaus.

For example, one of the most common gym exercises that are performed with bands is the squat. Performing this with a barbell and attaching a band on each side of the barbell is what is called ‘accommodating resistance’. The reason being is that when you squat without the bands the weight is hardest to lift in the bottom position, as you rise up closer to the top it gets increasingly easier. With bands attached, as the band stretches out more it gets progressively harder. Plus the band is actually trying to pull you back down, so it’s an extreme exercise. You really have to put everything into the up portion, or you’ll usually get stuck somewhere in the middle.

They also really support people that can’t do chin-ups or pull-ups on their on. Attaching a band to a chin up bar and putting your knee in through the loop will take off up to 100 pounds of bodyweight depending on the band strength.

One other thing you can do with them is stretching. It increases flexibility like no other implement. The majority of people see dramatic changes after only one session. But that’s a whole other article.

Give bands a try. They are probably the easiest and cheapest way to start your own home gym.

Hope you liked the article. The bands I use in bootcamp are from Iron Woody Fitness. you can learn more about them here:

Aspartame is probably making you sick and fat

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Diet coke and aspartame is not good for you--avoid it at all costs

A lot of people eat it everyday– Aspartame. It’s better known as a calorie free sweetener. It was approved in 1981 as a table top sweetener– Nutrasweet, Equal. And approved in 1983 for use in carbonated drinks. Then in 1996 it was approved for use in anything, and is used in over 6000 products and consumed by millions daily.

It’s approval was the most contested in FDA history!

In all the research done on it–independent research, not company or drug company sponsored research– has shown it not to be safe.

Headaches, nausea, dizziness, diabetes, obseisty are among some of the symptoms. You don’t need it your life. It’s unnatural substance that is slowly killing your insides. You need to watch this video:
