Is Quick Trim(TM) Making Kim Kardashian TOO Slim?

As a role model for millions, Kim’s NEW body another loss for women’s body image in America.

The OLD Curvy Kim

Kim Kardashian is a household name — you’ve seen her laugh, cry, act snotty, and entertain us with her lifestyle of luxury. As a spokesman for the male species, I was first introduced to her not from the front — but from the behind: you know what I’m talking about.

For a long time, Kim has been a champion of curves, a bootylicious babe, and a beauty icon with thighs thicker than a Thanksgiving turkey. All the while, she was damn proud of it too!

But woe is me — the powerful world of media and money have penetrated another celebrity’s soul — and as a result, it is another loss for women everywhere.

Quick Trim (TM) sponsored by Kim Kardashian is NOT the root of all evil.

I do not feel that Fat Burning diet pills are the root of all evil — but merely a symptom of society’s failure to prioritize the healing power of whole foods.

For those that don’t know, Quick Trim sells four products to young women:

The Quick Trim (TM) line

  1. Celluslim: “Body Sculpting Gel” to help you reduce visibility of cellulite.
  2. Fast Cleanse: “48 hour super diet” which is a fruit juice/fiber mixture.
  3. Extreme Burn: “Burn 8,000 more calories per month” with this caffeine pill.
  4. Burn and Cleanse: “Burn Calories All Day, Detox at Night!” which is caffeine + antioxidants + herbs.

The Problem

On her blog, Kim says, “When there are products available like Quick Trim, it’s so much easier to lose the extra pounds you’ve been dying to get rid of!”

The NEW (way too slim) Quick Trim (TM) Kim!

Picture it...a thousand young girls who could otherwise save their money for financial security and natural foods — instead being seduced by quick fixes, sponsored by beauty idol Kim Kardashian.

I congratulate Kim on her crazy abs, but seek to emphasize the power of good eating.

My vision is to revolutionize how society views weight loss. We must avoid placing value on the lifestyles that make us feel envy.

In realizing the vision of physical and emotional harmony, we should focus our energy on the whole foods for which they can endow both man and women with almost certain vitality.

Food comes first.

The better you eat, the better you feel — leanness occurs naturally from intelligent eating.

Besides, no one really knows whether or not Kim Kardashian is actually a happy person.

The Number One Mistake Guys Make When Trying to Gain Muscle

A lot of guys want muscle, so whats the problem?

The tall skinny guys are a common customer in my store. They are very lean, but have trouble holding on to weight.

“Oh, that product called Serious Mass looks good!” exclaims my latest customer in the protein section.

 

The Magic Weight Gain supplement?

I agree, “Yeah, Serious Mass is loaded with carbohydrates and some protein to get those extra calories. By the way, what did you have for breakfeast today?”

Customer: “Breakfeast? I don’t have time for break feast, nobody does.” Really, nobody?

Skipping break feast is the number one mistake in the Gospel of Muscle.

I respond, “Perhaps, except for the most muscular guy you know. I don’t even need to know him personally to guarantee that he eats break feast every day.” Everyone with an impressive physique knows that break feast can make or break their entire progress for that day.

Yet, I change the topic back to the product at hand and I keep the customer happy by validating his choice to purchase the Serious Mass weight gainer product.

This break feast battle is a personal fight, but in my own personal warfare — my body and mind have reached a peaceful treaty: I agree to eat break feast every day, so long as it tastes great and makes me feel fantastic!

Break feast is like a paycheck for the body, skipping break feast equals debt.

Regardless if you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle, eating break feast is more important than nearly any other health habit.

  • Feeds your body with energy for the day, which it will readily use.
  • Promotes metabolism and healthy appetite.
  • People who eat break feast typically eat less in the evening. (and have less body fat as a result)
  • Makes you feel good and regulates energy levels.
  • Puts your body into a positive balance — therefore you are more likely to burn fat and build lean tissue.

Stay tuned for quick, easy, and healthy break feast ideas.

Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss

Why is the scale your worst enemy?

When it comes to losing weight, the fastest way (and least safe) is to dehydrate yourself to lose water weight. But this is pointless, because you need water for all of life’s functions.

People spend too much time weighing themselves. There are body builders who look fantastic to me, but they still want to gain just 10 more pounds — just 10 more pounds. Another person I know wants to lose 15 pounds, they have made progress but recently it slowed down. The scale is messing with their minds.

Burn body fat, lose the right kind of weight.

Excess body fat, especially around the midsection, is unhealthy and uncomfortable. We want to lose body fat — and the best way to do it is by preserving everything else on your body.

Preserve your lean mass:

  • Lean muscle is essential for strength and energy
  • Lean muscle also looks GREAT!
  • Bone density, strong bones reduce risk of osteoporosis.
  • Organs, tissues, ligaments, and more..

Imagine losing half of your muscle, and very little fat. Not only will you look worse, but you would feel worse too.

Focus on fat loss

To really target fat specifically for weight loss, we need a balanced diet with exercise, rest, and social support.

What is the point of weighing yourself then?

Take pictures of your body for progress.

Listen to your body — how do you feel now? How do you feel when you eat a certain food? How much stronger are you now?

Heck with the scale.

Weight loss itself isn’t valuable unless the weight you lose is body fat.

Let’s burn fat with healthy nutrition and lifestyle.
