Revealing the Secrets of Weight-Loss Food

Weight loss foods have the most authentic character.

A congruency within the body. Thats how we know the apple is so healthful.

Did you hear? She's dating Johnny Appleseed now.

The apple is but one character in the massive undertaking of digestion.

To truly benefit, you need to know the secrets behind Weight Loss Food so that you know it when you see it.

Weight Loss Foods…

are Fresh.
high in at least one of the following:
1. fiber,
2. protein (essential amino acids),
3. unsaturated fats (essential fatty acids), or
4. vital nutrients from fruits and vegetables.
consists of one ingredient: itself. (or part of a team of weight loss foods)
are consumed at optimal periods during the day

If it comes from a restaurant, has more than six months shelf life, or contains processed sugar, it’s probably not a weight loss food.

I challenge you

Eating healthy is not as easy as going to drive-thru’s five days a week.

Take responsibility for your food. Make it at home and earn the sense that life is more valuable from here. It feels good every time.

All you need is a cooler lunch box (the boxes designed to hold a six-pack are great), some reusable containers, and a gel ice pack.

What are you waiting for? Go eat some Weight Loss Food and say goodbye to belly!

How the Turkish Get Up changed my Life!

This old time Strongman exercise can take your body to a whole new level of performance.

Unconventional, but the results are real. (DreFitness @ Rio de Janeiro)

In my younger days, I used to think that the Bench Press was the only way to get the body I wanted.

So I benched.

And then I benched some more.

But something funky started happening with my body.

The bench press destroyed my shoulders.

My shoulders ached, my strength flat-lined, and my posture sucked.

I finally realized that the Bench Press was doing more harm than good for me.

The Turkish Get Up is 100% pure functional strength, for an empowered lifestyle.

There are SO MANY benefits from doing the Turkish Get Up — it’s no surprise that this is a highly popular exercise among combat athletes. This is functional strength at its finest.

Here’s the benefits for a regular person like you and me:

Fat loss, metabolism booster
Increased shoulder stability at the joint
FULL-Body Strength: Legs, glutes, core, shoulder, back, triceps, forearm grip strength
One of the best Abdominal/Core exercises in existence
Improved flexibility — especially relieving for tight hips that many Americans chronically suffer from.
Whole body coordination
Lean muscle!!!

The Turkish Get Up changed my life!

My joints, tendons, and ligaments are healthier! Performance has improved, and my physique is getting tighter for summer time.

Finally, the Turkish Get Up is a FUN exercise and gets a lot of priceless looks from other gym-goers.

This simple, full body exercise is Pure Bang-For-the-Buck!

Rehabbing Old Injuries:

Mastering the TGU is well worth the investment of your time and effort. I’ve had a long history of shoulder subluxations/dislocations. I had two surgeries on my right shoulder (1985 & 1987) and one on my left (1989). Unfortunately, even after two surgeries, my right shoulder would continue to dislocate on a regular basis; sometimes while training, many times while sleeping. Talk about a rude awakening!

I was facing the grim option of a third surgery on my right shoulder, contemplating the ‘Law of Diminishing Returns’. Over a 15 year period, I diligently practiced every rubber band exercise and rotator cuff program known in the realm of physical therapy, but to no avail. In December 2001, Pavel taught me the TGU with a dumbbell. Kettlebells weren’t manufactured yet. I practiced this exercise with dumbbells, than later with kettlebells. Kettlebells are without a doubt superior and well worth the investment. Ultimately, I fabricated two 110 pound kettlebells. By Spring of 2002, I was performing singles with either hand, reaching my goal.

By God’s Grace and perfect timing, He placed the right person (Pavel) with the right exercise (TGU), when I needed it the most. Knowing what I know now, I’m thoroughly convinced that I could have avoided all three surgeries had I only known this valuable exercise.

My shoulders are more stable and stronger now than ever before. The range of motion completely restored. Best of all, I have not suffered a shoulder subluxation in years.

This success story has been repeated many times with the clients I train. Boxers, grapplers, NHB fighters, police officers, military personnel, and the average “Joe” or “Jane” have all reaped the benefits of the TGU.

Here’s my progress on the TGU:

Lose Weight without changing what you eat!

Can I burn fat and lose weight without changing my diet?

I strongly urge healthy eating, but if you must…

Acceptable in the morning, but dangerous at night.

Don’t change WHAT you eat, just change WHEN you eat.

It can be that simple.

Work alongside your body’s natural rythym.

Eat a TON in the morning and hardly anything at night.

The results are real.

Consume calories when your body actually needs it.

If you’re on a 2,000 calorie diet, then aim to eat 1,000 calories within three hours of waking up.

Consume 70% of your food before 1PM.
By 6PM, you will have eaten 95% of your daily calories.
Between dinner and bed time, just have a little snack.

By eating majority of calories EARLY in the day, your body will become a more efficient fat-burning furnace.

The advent of Late-Night fast food drive thru’s is the dieter’s worst nightmare. A typical value meal at a fast food restaurant can make you lose three days of fat-loss progress in a single sitting.

So if you must eat fast food, then consume that value meal at 10 AM instead of 10 PM. Your body composition will be vastly different.

Calories at night time are THREE TIMES more dangerous than calories in the morning!

Wake up early enough for a BIG breakfast — and please enjoy it. You will be amazed at the results.

The more healthy foods the better!

The Insider’s Guide to the Top FAT LOSS Supplements for Healthy Weight Loss

The Fat Loss client comes in many forms, but something so primary connects all of us together.

It is to have felt the urge.

The desire from within making us aware of our imperfections, to be understood in each unique way.

Now there’s something that can help, so empower yourself with knowledge.

Top Supplement List for Fat Loss

Research + Fieldwork = The Top Supplements for Fat Loss.

Starting off our list with an ocean treasure…

1. Omega-3 Fish Oil

Fish oil, almost entirely comprised of healthy polyunsaturated fats is a real boost for our biology.

Omega-3's: Must Have for all Weight Loss Programs

Break it down to the body at a cellular level. Now chunk back up and take some Omega-3 Fish Oil. As the fish oil gets absorbed into your body, individual cells can now thrive. Multiply that cell by 100 trillion, and you now have 100 trillion individual cells supporting your every thought, move, and function.

Fish Oil Prevents Heart Disease.

This statement is backed up by pure Fact, as true in scientific research. Healthy heart power is key to fitness!

But the benefits don’t end here…

Fish oil promotes healthy joints and efficient use of carbohydrates for energy.

“But I already take fish oil…”

Take more, see what happens.

Body composition typically improves noticeably for people taking up to 5 grams of fish oil per day.

For guys, body composition changes will give you that wide shoulder look and a more tapered waist — adding to that V-Shape appearance.

Even if no pounds reduce, women with better body composition can improve their hourglass curves in just the right areas.

"Booté" ...a Fish Oil story

Eat fish twice a week, or get yourself an Omega-3 Fish Oil supplement from a well-reputable brand.

This is your life we’re talking about.

2. Whey Protein: The King of the Protein

Out of all protein sources available, no source is as nutrient-dense and versatile as Whey Protein.

Support your Body!

Whether you’re a seriously active person or a gastric-bypass patient, Whey Protein is a natural way to elevate quality of life.

This is why Whey is King:

Whey is easy to digest, while red meat is taxing on the body
Animal protein and Whey protein both supply essential building blocks for the body, but Whey has less of a digestive price tag than meat.
Good digestion promotes good weight loss.
Weight loss is supported by the naturally occurring health antibodies found in Whey Protein.
Whey Protein Strengthens the Body.

So now you know what whey protein is, you just need to know where Whey Protein is.

Mixed with oatmeal for breakfast
To recover muscles after your workout, the protein shake.
To be fit, you need premium snacks.
A luscious Spring fruit smoothie.

You can do anything you want with Whey Protein, whenever you want.

Whey Protein promotes good ol’ fashion lean muscle.

Thats how You Burn Fat and keep Muscle Tone.

All of this evidence supports Whey Protein as the King of Protein.

3. Green Tea

What happens when naturally occurring caffeine meets super power antioxidant?

The healthiest natural thermogenic fat burner on the market!

Antioxidants protect skin, hair, eyes, muscles, and heart from damage.
Moderate amount of caffeine gives your metabolism some extra juice.

The taste and aroma of Green Tee is full of memories from my childhood, so I do enjoy a cup. Even so, the capsules are very convenient.

Fat Loss products have in common…

These three supplements are some of the most powerful health boosting products available. All of these supplements have proven qualified health claims, in addition to dozens of credible testimonials.

If you want to improve your health and lose fat simultaneously, make these three supplements a regular part of your daily routine.

You won’t regret it.

Especially with the sunny season right on the horizon.

Ripped in 60 days: Five Simple Rules for Beach Body Madness

Can you get lean, ripped, and sculpted for summer time!?

There you are — on the beach with friends. The warm sun blankets your skin in a great way, and this year — yes this year — people are staring at you.

No, it’s not because you’ve got a boog in your nose. Actually, you look like a damn celebrity with toned abs and buttocks that advertise uber fitness to the world.

You put in the effort, you get the results.

Here’s five simple tips to help you get there…

1. Make time for a great breakfast

Start eating within 30 minutes of waking.

Upon waking, our bodies are able to uptake nutrients at a super efficient rate.

Breakfast is like depositing revenue into your internal bank account. If you eat breakfast, you have more money for the rest of the day. But if you skip breakfast, you’re in debt and the high interest rates screws with your metabolism.

Fact: People who eat breakfast consume less calories daily and weigh less on average.

2. Eat Real Food, not processed.

The more whole foods you eat, the more nutrients you get, and the better physique you’ll have.

Science backs this up. In one study, a group of people who ate an actual grapefruit everyday lost significantly more weight than the group of people who drank grapefruit juice.

Whole foods are like premium fuel for your body. Treat yourself right.

3. Supplement with Omega-3 Fish Oil

Did you think you could eat fat to LOSE fat?

It’s true. In particular, Omega-3’s are essential fatty acids that have a plethora of highly important functions in the body.

One major benefit to the physique conscious is that Omega-3’s promote healthy insulin sensitivity.

In other words, your body is better able to make use of those pesky carbohydrates.

Good deal.

4. Get active!

Physical movement of any kind will help with your beach body.

However, the most powerful of all physical activities is heavy weight lifting. When you lift heavy stuff, your body responds by holding on to its muscle instead of wasting away.

So you burn more fat and keep more muscle — leading to the ultimate beach body.

5. Reduce stress and sleep well

Stress kills.

Reducing stress will help you deal with everything life throws at you — including weight loss.

Likewise, getting enough sleep — 8 hours typically — will make a massive difference when it comes to real results.

BONUS TIP

Allow yourself one cheat meal per week. If you know you’re going to go out with friends and have dinner and drinks, then consider that your cheat meal. It’s life, dude, chill and enjoy.
