Weight Loss Gone Bad- The Truth About Diet Pills

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Diet pills and fat loss will not work unless nutrition and exercise is there
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. Diet pill companies get rich and richer off of fat people trying to lose weight

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 $diet pill companies marketing to overweight people play on emotions and sell them fat burners that don\'t help lose weight$ get sucked in, the pill doesn’t work, and they feel even worse now.

What is a person to do?

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.

The Grind of A Diet Versus the Habit of Your Diet—Nutrition Made Simpler [ARTICLE]

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

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.
Diets suck! No more diet for you!

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.
The case of the yo-yo diet, never ends for weight loss hell

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.
eating healthy is awesome!

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.
Happy people eat good, healthy food

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.

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.

Fad diets don’t last forever

Friday, May 29th, 2009

$Diet don\'t work$

Fad diets don’t work forever. If you’ve ever been on one than you know what I’m talking about.

You probably lost weight, yes?

But did you plateau eventually?

Did you have to followsome unusual eating pattern, or focus on 1 or 2 foods?

Problem with these diets is they just focus on weight loss, usually quick weight loss. When that happens you also lose muscle and water which slows your metabolism down, and actually puts you in a worse spot than before you began the diet.

What happens when you go off this fad diet?

Usually you gain the weight right back, and sometimes more. Yet time after time people fall for this fad diet trap all the time.

weight gain

Your usually very hungary too throughout these diets. That’s because they’re usually very low calorie diets. Losing fat is your main concern. This is what is going to create the sexy, strong, look your wanting. Well, to start off on your way to losing fat and looking good you need to focus on foods that are nutrient dense and fill you up. Satisfy your hunger.

These foods don’t need to be loaded with calories either. But nutrients your body needs. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, water, etc…. Obviously foods that are more nutrient dense are also foods that are healthier for you.

Foods like whole grains, oats, veggies, fruits, beans, nuts, lean proteins, seeds, broth based soups. Watermelon is a great example. Loaded with water, very low in calories, and full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and will fill you up.
healthy food

If you focus on these types of foods you will build a great foundation to start the fat loss cycle. Obviously there are other factors involved which I have talked about in the past and will continue to do so.

One of these is water. make sure you’re hydrated. Otherwise, fat loss and you– Forget about it!

If you’re not getting and meeting all your nutritents through your food you might want to check out the whole foods multi-vitamin/mineral VGF 25+

Columbus Bootcamp Instructor tells you how to get results from your weight loss program

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I have helped a whole lot of people get into the best shape of their lives. Weather they wanted to lose weight/body fat, improve conditioning, performance, energy levels, or just feel better overall I have done it. So I know what it takes for people to lose unwanted body fat and look better naked faster than most. A big reason for this is the fact that I incorporate nutrition along with exercise. A lot of trainers are all about exercise and don’t give or have a nutritional system in place. Nutrition is by far the most important aspect in the fat loss game. But when combined with exercise your results will be even more profound. I’m going to share some things with you today that must be in place before you start a fitness and nutrition program.

So how do I manage to help my client’s get the results they seek? It’s not just my incredible nutrition and bootcamp system. It works, yes. But you have to be able to start. That’s the most important aspect. If you never start, you will never see results. After you start you need to stick with it. So it really comes down to goals. Making them, following through with them, and achieving them.

Before I start with the process needed to set goals, I know a lot of you will stop reading now. But let me stress, that goal setting is not a useless, time-wasting thing. The most successful people in life will set goals, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. And I’m not just talking about weight loss; I’m talking overall success in life– Business, family, friends, social, money, fitness, and fun! Goals allow you to plan for roadblocks, and give you your map to success. Without a map you will get lost. That’s why most people give up on their New Year’s resolution soon after the New Year– They have no map. So let’s start, shall we?

WHY- WHAT REASON ARE YOU DOING THIS?

NO- You can’t just say ‘ you want to lose weight’. That is unacceptable. If you come to me, I already know that. I need to know the real reason. I need to know why you are going to all of sudden start a fitness and nutrition program and commit to it, when you haven’t been able to in the past.

Everybody wants to feel good about themselves, and look sexy. It’s probably the #1 motivator of people out there (although it should be getting healthy). Most people want to look better to the opposite sex. It’s human nature.

So write out the real reason you want to do this. ‘I want to lose weight because ______”. It can be any reason really. You want to fit into a pair of jeans you haven’t been able to for years. You want to be bikini ready. You want to lose that gut. Your getting married. Your high school reunion is coming up. You want to look better for your spouse. And the list goes on and on.

It all starts with the WHY. Get that down and everything after that is easier.
