Empty Stomachs are Hazardous to Weight Loss

Leaving the house on an empty stomach can ruin a day of dieting.

A regular customer visited the store today with the full intention of heading to the gym afterward. But he didn’t eat breakfeast…

There he was, before 11AM, minutes prior to our opening hours, feeling hungry. The Popeye’s restaurant next door produces a fried, oily smell that travels from Walmart to Les Schuab.

So he went over to Popeye’s and stuffed himself with fried chicken gizzards.

To successfully lose weight, you must eat.

There are some foods that even if you tried to gain weight, you would be unable. Leafy green vegetables are notorious for boosting health, preventing disease, and filling you up without hardly any calories at all.

In our urban jungle, you cannot trust the food sources. Restaurants are the guiltiest perpetrators since they rely on taste and not health.

Eat breakfeast in the morning, have fruit for snack before you leave the house. Do what you have to do, but DO NOT let yourself get on an empty stomach — that is when the worst decisions are made.

Weightloss Now

“What do you have for my sons weight loss?”

Standing next to his mom, a well intentioned kid looked around the store. His mom asked me to help him with a weight loss product.

He couldn’t have been anymore than 13 years old and I began seeing a younger version of myself when I was chubby.

I didn’t want to promote any weight loss products for this kid, since he needs to eat healthier and get active. Thermogenics probably aren’t healthy for grown adults, let alone a 13 year old.

So I stuck with the basics.

Fish Oil

and

Vitamin D

He may not lose weight really fast, but at least he can boost his brain function and maintain bone density.

Keeping up with my YMCA internship

My schedule recently bumped up to fulfill my Personal Trainer internship hours. For several days a week, I am a Personal Wellness intern at the brand new YMCA in SeaTac.

Matt Griffin YMCA

The best education comes from the other trainers. Since the YMCA has more of a team culture to it, they are generous with their knowledge and experience. Meanwhile, I help take care of the facility and support the staff.

I have already instructed a group intro-to-fitness class and look forward to adding even more experience. During downtime, I meet many employees at all levels to build connections. It’s fantastic!

 Now, I have to get back to work at my actual job,

Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Review

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

9.5/10 Rating

I bought coconut oil for the first time, and the excitement of uncovering this aromatic treasure glows warmly still today.

That was a year ago.

Now, I open each bottle to reveal tropical coconut sensations, which are empowered by nasal vitality. It smells of coconut heaven, yet the power of coconuts makes their remarkable pleasure only seem ethereal.

Then for the taste test…

I may be compelling in the language of nutrition, but this looks toward the spoon I must grab first. Since the oil remains solid at room temperature, the spoon glides through a coconut journey with my rendezvous location being mouth de l’André.

How to Use Coconut Oil Benefits:

  • For the Skin and Hair, topical use.
  • Eaten and consumed, for nutrient rich coconut oil.

As an active person, I find coconut oil to be a great source of energy that keeps me lean and feeling good. The good saturated fat, Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), found in coconut oil is a powerhouse!

Some people love the thermogenic, or fat burning, quality of coconut oil. Others enjoy a healthy and detoxified system after using coconut oil.

  1. Replace butter with superior coconut oil and cook your favorite meals!
  2. In a glass, melt the coconut oil into warm water and enjoy in weight loss shake or smoothie.
  3. On top of steamy vegetables for luscious flavor.

With so many options, coconut oil takes the prize as a detoxifying, soothing, and empowering experience.

Start out with a teaspoon of coconut oil and move up to a tablespoon once your body welcomes more.

The ‘money-spot’ is about One Tablespoon per serving.

May the coconut be with you.

The MUST HAVE Super Supplements for Health and Fitness

What makes these MUST HAVE Supplements?

Besides the fact that they could save your life…

Nutritional deficiency leads to suffering, while nutrient abundance promotes actual vitality.

For the young, suffering from nutrient deficiency may go on mostly unnoticeable. But as the decades rage on, their bodies deteriorate.

What if you can stop this?

What if you could make your body even better?

What if you benefited from…

1. Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids

While oily fish are known for their high concentrations of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, this essential fatty acid also grows in various plant forms. The problem is that most people cannot consume two wild fish filets per week, every week, for the entire year. Yet, that’s how our ancestors evolved — both cavemen and the J-Man ate fish.

Why Omega-3s?

Eat these foods AND supplement

Omega-3’s are high quality oils that the cells in your body adore. Strong cell walls turn into a more robust system, and that efficiency promotes everything from brain functionality to sexual functionality. We’re talking cardiovascular and circulatory health of course.

Reinterpret WHY to GOTTA HAVE.

Omega-3’s are essential fatty acids. It cannot be produced by the body and must be achieved via digestion of omega-3 oils in some form.

Supplementing is easy.

1,000 mg capsules of Fish Oil or Flaxseed Oil. Take 4 per day in split doses with meals.

Now go forth and enjoy healthier skin, happier joints, and a cardiovascular system that fine women shall adore.

2. The Vitamin D

My fine reader, this is the sun vitamin. In the summer time, your skin synthesizes the Vitamin-D3 and nearly every cell in your body has a receptor site for it. It’s a vitamin and a necessary prohormone — precurser to healthy hormone balance.

With Vitamin D, people face each new day with open arms.

As a king, Vitamin-D3 stands on top with regard to Bone Health. Without D, you’ll have trouble absorbing calcium, and therefore weaker teeth and bones. It is most well known for bone health.

But what other people don’t realize is that it plays a role in weight loss, performance, vision, metabolism, and so much more.

Chances are, you’re not getting enough. In fact, 70% of kids are deficient, and they spend more time outdoors.

Supplementing is easy.

2,000 IU dose of Vitamin-D3. Take one per day.

The other essentials can be found in a healthy diet…

To recap, Fish Oil and Vitamin D for vitality.

For all of your other needs, unless directed by a medical professional, I invite you to shop the raw produce aisle.

If you still have money left over in your supplement budget, there are thousands of opportunities to help you reach your goals. Some will endow you with fantastical results, while others barely raise an eyebrow. Either way, start with the essentials and build up — a strong foundation keeps you on top.

We’re loving it.
