2 little known fat burning facts

Carbs, carbs, carbs. That's what everyone seems to want to talk about. How do I avoid carbs?


Well, what you should be talking about instead is, "How do I get more lean Protein into my eating plan?"


Now THAT is the right question.


You see, Protein is where it's at. Check out these two little known facts about protein:


1) Protein requires more calories to digest than carbs or fat. This is called the "thermic effect of food." In other words, your body uses more calories to digest protein than other nutrients. Pretty sneaky, huh?


2) Protein provides satiety. That's a fancy way of saying you feel fuller for longer when you eat protein ;-)


Good sources of Lean Protein come from foods such as:


Fish, eggs, poultry, lean beef...


But some people have trouble eating enough protein each day. Some people would like it to be more convenient for them.


If that's the case with you then I have VERY good news. And it's news I've been waiting to tell you for some time now.


We have finally released our pharmaceutical quality whey protein.


You see, not all Protein powders are created equal.


Prograde Protein:


- Delivers unparalled purity through low-temperature mirco-filtering


- Is naturally sweetened with Stevia


- Contains 5.3 grams of branch chained amino acids per serving


- Mixes instantly with just a spoon


- Enhances absorption and digestion via lactase and Aminogen digestive enzyymes


It took us a little longer to release Prograde Prograde Protein than we thought it would. But as always, we would NOT release this product until we could get it just right.

So get yours NOW. http://alphaiiomega.getprograde.com/protein-powder.html

1 Weird Belly Flab Buster

Ok, I don't mean to get too scientific, but this is super important. You see, while busting the belly flab does take effort, it's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be.

Seriously, the most important part of the process is arming yourself with the CORRECT knowledge. If you know how your body works...why it stores belly flab...what actually causes it to burn off...you're a whole lot better off.

Now, I know there are a ton of so-called experts out there that are confusing the heck out of you. I know a lot of people tell you different things. It can be as frustrating as all get out. But if you follow these simple rules and burn them into your brain things will be a lot different.

Anyway, let's get to today's easy lesson. Check this out:

- Increased Protein intake triggers the hormone Glucagon.

- This, in turn, prevents the spiking of your Insulin (which is also a hormone) levels.

- Which simply means you minimize the chance of storing blood sugar as fat.

In other words, eat more protein and you bust the belly flab. Sure, there's more to it than that, but that is the crux of it. And so long as you understand the basics you can KEEP the belly flab from coming back.

When you only eat carbs your Insulin levels go through the roof. And all that blood sugar (that's what the carbs turn into after you've eaten them) which isn't needed by your body MUST go somewhere. Yup, it goes to your belly; or your butt; or your hips; or your thighs...

The best part is, it's not very hard to consume more protein. In fact, it's pretty darn easy. A high quality protein powder will do just the trick.

This Is My Body or Is It?

As I sit here in front of this computer after finishing one of the most grueling workouts that I have ever gone through (for some of you that are reading this and come to my classes know that I practice what I preach), I stood in the mirror drenched in sweat admiring my body and this blog post came to me all at once. I hurried to grab pen and paper to pen this because I knew that if I didn't write it now it may forever be lost.

This one, in my opinion, is one for the ages.

I have been through a lot in the 30 some odd years while on this earth. I have battled weight loss, gain the weight back, to then loss the weight again, to gain the weight back. I have watched as well as worked with some great people over the years that have gone through this same dilemma- this yo-yo of up and down up and down. This roller coaster ride of hills and valleys, highs and lows, successes and failures (more failures than successes). This stop and start-quit and begin-frustration and triumph and back to disappointment (some never pick back up and start again).

Weight lost does not start with exercise nor does it end with eating healthier or doing more cardio. In my opinion the whole crux of the matter to weight lost comes down to your attitude how you feel about yourself. It starts with your mind how you see yourself-your self image your self worth. The mind is so powerful. The body will only produce, regurgitate, or reproduce whatever the mind tells it to. So as I stood in the mirror admiring my body- feeling good about how I look-looking at the scars and battle wounds that I have accumulated over the years. Some physical, some emotional, some intentionally, some accidentally this post came to mind. Before you continue to read on I must warn you that it is strongly penned with religious undertones so if you are an atheist or someone that doesn't believe that there is a higher power well first I feel sorry for you and second this article may not be for you. However, for the rest of you please read, re read, and read this again. Meditate on it and start today reciting this over and over (out loud and in your mind). Really try to read this slowly not like a pleasure read, but read it as if your life depended upon it because it does if you ever want to accomplish that image that you are chasing after. If you grasp this concept what you about to read then you will never have to worry about how you currently look or how you are going to look in those favorite jeans or if you will fill out that favorite shirt the way you would like. If you get this, watch how you will have a new outlook on your challenges, obstacles, trials, and struggles that you face with your self image. ASK YOURSELF IF NOT NOW, WHEN?



My Body

This is my body that God has made in His image
It is unique, beautiful, flawless perfectly designed by Him to bring Him glory
When others see me, they see Him because they see a wonderfully accomplished work of art
There are no mistakes on my body-everything everything is put in its place for a purpose
I love everything on my body from head to toe because God made it
I am the apple of God's eye
My body is not mine it was purchased at an expensive price because He loved me so much
God has entrusted this body to me
I will do my best to be a good steward (manager) over it
It is the only body that I will ever have
It is a holy temple that should not be destroyed, mistreated, abused, or misused
I will only consume and do things that will only develop and improve my body
This is my body that God has made

Again if you understand this concept everything else that you are facing with your weight loss, transformation, or image that you want to accomplish will be easily obtained.

Carpe Diem.
