You need good sleep for good weight loss
Heck, you need good sleep for good everything in life.
Sleep tips:
Moderate exercise on most days of the week (cardio, weights, sports, walking).
Eat natural whole foods.
Go to bed at the same time each day.
Never eat within 1 hour of going to bed.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugar drinks.
Respect the nightly Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Naturally occurring human growth hormone promotes the renewal of organic tissue in the body. You need good sleep to get attain peak levels of HGH.
Optimal levels of HGH support everything from brain to bone density.
Lean muscle tone, especially!
Monument of morning Testosterone
Testosterone levels are important for us all. If you’re a man or if you’ve ever dated a guy, you may be aware of this significant rise of testosterone even as you get out of bed.
Morning, would you tell me what you had for breakfast?
Levels of testosterone spike in the morning, boosting the ability of the body to uptake and store muscle glycogen.
In simple terms, carbs and breakfast go really well together. Eat Big Carbs in the morning!
Feel good, look great. Sleep right.
Except tomorrow, you’ll be a little leaner and one step closer to success.
If you have reached a weight-loss plateau, then the first step is realizing that you need to change what you’re doing. You need to give your body a real reason to burn those last few pounds.
The last few pounds almost always come from the belly.
You gotta want it.
Sure, you occasionally go out and eat delicious restaurant food and maybe you even got a dessert. You still lost weight for a couple months, but now the scale just ain’t movin. Whats the deal, yo?
Clean up your diet.
Every single piece of food that you consume will either work with you or work against you.
Let me repeat that.
Everything you put in your body is either friend or foe when it comes to fat loss.
You must eat it to burn it!
Choose the right foods — fruits, vegetables, some grains, lean protein, and health supplements.
Eat breakfast within one hour of waking, everyday.
Drink lots of pure water.
Have small snacks when you’re hungry — if it comes in a bag and has a brand name, it’s probably not a healthy snack.
Consume balanced meals with plenty of whole food.
Enjoy more carbs in the morning, and more protein in the evening.
Keep your eye on the prize: DELAY INSTANT GRATIFICATION!

Weight Loss Foods…

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!
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:
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.
