Bad News Bowl of Veggies
It's just about impossible to gain weight just by eating veggies. I mean seriously, you'd have to eat a LOT of 'em.
BUT...
Salads are a different story all together. Why is it that every time people want to get rid of their belly fat they break out the salad bowls and start eating like a rabbit?
Thing is, MOST salads people eat are loaded with fat and calories. It's as if people think bacon, cheese and ranch dressing suddenly have amazing fat burning properties when they're on top of a couple of carrots and broccoli.
Look, you probably don't really want to know how much damage you did the last time you ate "healthy" and went to the salad bar for lunch.
But what's done is done. Here are the tips you need to remember the next time you order one. They are from the Head of R & D at Prograde Nutrition, registered dietitian Jayson Hunter:
1) Ask for the dressing on the side and dip the tongs of your fork in the dressing and THEN pick up some salad. It gives you just enough, flavor and keeps your calorie intake under control.
2) Choose a salad that has grilled protein in it such as chicken or fish. Remember, it should be GRILLED and not fried.
3) Sorry, leave off the cheese and bacon bits. You know why ;-)
That’s it pretty simple right?

Dumbest 'Slimming' Snack Advice Ever
Dumbest 'Slimming' Snack Advice Ever
It's no wonder people are so overweight. It's no wonder people don't have the flat stomach they crave.
With TV commercials as misleading as they are it's really no shock whatsoever.
You're inundated with crummy information and myths every time you turn on the TV.
A while back they were running a commercial for some silly Rice Puff product. It was in an office setting and someone had brought in cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.
One woman looked worried she was going to ruin her "diet" because of the temptation and decided to "fill up" on a Rice Puff product.
Come on. You're smarter than that. You know darn well that a rice puff thingy is going to fill you up and stop you from stuffing your face.
For one thing, you need to expect these situations to arise. Whether you want six pack abs or just want to get to a perfectly healthy weight, you have to have a plan for temptation.
Second, that means you need to plan meals so you aren't completely starving when someone brings cupcakes to your office or something.
You know you need to eat small, frequent and nutritious meals if you really want to achieve fat loss.
Third, if you are looking for a great tasting healthy snack that fulfills your love of chocolate then look no further.
Prograde Cravers are just what the fitness pro ordered.
Check them out here: http://warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/cravers
Cravers are only 180 calories and they are made with 100% organic dark chocolate. They are completely delicious and they are the perfect snack for busy people on the go.
They even come in three flavors.
Anyway, don't buy the hype on TV. You know better than that.
Until Next Time…

30 Minutes of Fat Burning Activity
30 minutes of Activity is all you need.....
Here's a very simple rule of thumb when trying to burn more calories.
Calories in Vs Calories out...
Simple, right?
Burn more calories than you put into your body.
To do this you must have a great nutrition plan in place and you must also be active.
So here's what I did today.
Sledding. YUP did it again.
I used the same workout that I used last weekend but this time upped the intensity.
I put my son on my shoulders and walked up the hill each time.
Talk about putting your body through torture.
That was my activity today.
What was you’re activity today?
Even if you don't find yourself getting out of the house you can do simple workouts even while watching TV.
I have listed a routine below that takes about 20 to 30 minutes that you can use anytime.
Start with Static holds.
These are great for abs and overall muscle development.
1. 1 set of Leg holds. Get on your back and keep your head back. Put your legs out in front of you together and bring your heals 6 inches off the ground now hold it there for as long as you can. Great ab work. Repeat this 4x's
2. 1 set of leg raises. 15 reps. If you can't do all 15 at the same time then take small breaks until you work up to 15 reps. Stay in the same position as above but instead of holding these you will keep your legs straight out in front of you and raise them up in the air. Basically folding yourself like a jack knife.
3. 2 Set of pushups 10 reps a piece. For a tougher workout spread your hands out a bit further. These are Fly push ups. Again if you can't do all the pushups at the same time work your way up to them.
4. 2 Sets of Squats. 10 reps a piece. Put a chair out and use this as a guide. This is if you feel like you will fall backwards.
If you find yourself feeling good after the first time around with this workout then repeat it once or twice more for an even bigger burn.
This workout works the whole body, keeps you active and most important doesn't take long to do at all. No weights involved.
Give it a shot and let me know how it works out for you.
Until Next Time

Fat Fighting Kung Fu Pills
So another new year is upon us.
Untold numbers of people are "resolving" to win the battle of the bulge this year.Some people are actually laying out a solid plan based on exercise and nutrition. Others are going to go on yet another fad diet.
Even worse, lots and lots of soon to be disheartened folks will be turning to the latest miracle pill they've seen on TV or the Internet.
It's sad really.
The marketing for these pills gets cranked up to full blast now that it's January. These far less than reputable companies know how desperate people are. And they certainly know how much greater that desperation becomes in January.
Look, you and I know better. We know that the only way you're going to Kung Fu that fat off your belly, butt, hips and thighs is to eat right and exercise.
Know what else is sad?
Once people come to grips with the fact they've been ripped off over and over by these "miracle" diet pill companies, oftentimes they'll refuse to listen to reason about nutritional products that have actual benefits.
For instance, did you know that Essential Fatty Acid products help promote fat loss through the stabilization of blood sugar levels? And that they may also help regulate mood, improve heart health and decrease joint pain?If people are looking for a pill to take - one that is actually based on research - they should strongly consider adding an Essential Fatty Acids product to their diet.
Now I know that I am not one for supplements but I took some time during the later part of 2008 to research the supplements that do work and are not a waste of my money. I do not like wasting money on supplements that do not work.
I found a company that puts together good quality products. I am not going to promote a product unless I feel comfortable with it.
Here is one that I found though that does work.
It's Prograde's EFA Icon (you can read more about it here:
http://warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/icon
Again, I know you're to smart to fall for the gimmicks, but if you know of anyone trying a diet pill this January, please tell them to get real. They'll be better off for it.
Until Next Time

Acai Berry Scam / Disturbing fact you might not like
Disturbing Fact You Might Not Like
Fitness pros get a bad rap at times. Hey, sometimes it's well deserved.
It's unfortunate, but there are still way too many "meat head" trainers who are more interested in looking at themselves in a mirror than they are in their own clients. But we also take heat at times for being too interested in looks and appearance than health and wellness.
Well, I'm going to fill you in on a little secret. We've tried to market our businesses by educating people about the health benefits of proper nutrition and exercise. We'd love for people to care more about their health than how they look. Unfortunately, and this holds true for the vast majority of people, they only care about their health once they've lost it.
Think about that for a little bit. I can tell you right now the unscrupulous marketers online are making a FORTUNE promoting these Acai Berry pills right now. They are able to do that because they are promoting it as weight loss and not the real benefit of Acai Berry.
It is the "magic pill" of the day. If you've been paying attention to the weight loss market you'll know it used to be Hoodia. Now, you might not like it, but I'm not going to be the one to lie to you. I'm not going to be the one to tell you take this little pill and watch the weight fall off. Acai Berry is a heck of an antioxidant that can help your body fight the aging process and help boost your immune system, but it's not going to flush the excess pounds off your belly, butt, hips and thighs. Sorry.
Now my friends at Prograde Nutrition I have an amazing product that includes Acai Berry as one of its main ingredients. But unlike the Grade A scumbags out there lying to you, they only promote their product for what it is, a very powerful Antioxidant formula to help boost your health.
So if your health is of interest to you then definitely check out Prograde Nutrition
Sorry if this ticks you off. I'm here to shed light on the truth for you. It's up to YOU to decide whether or not your health is more valuable to you than your appearance.
Until Next Time

Again, if you value your health and want help with the aging process I can't recommend Prograde Nutrition LONGEVITY to you enough.

The Fitness Time Budget
The Time Budget
I’m sitting here on my couch right now while my son is watching the movie cars for the 100th time. Who I am kidding I love the movie too just maybe a bit more space out then once a day. So I began thinking about the time I spend with my son verses all the other stuff I have to get done so I wanted to address the Time Budget.
Christmas is such hectic time of the year and we all start to loose sight of the gym right around middle of November and usually don’t get back there until we make our New Years resolution to get fit and loose those extra 10lbs we gained. There is a way you can do all those extra things during this especially busy week and still manage to stay in shape.
To try and get over this time budget thing I have listed some of my ways I get over my time budget and some of the ways you can do this yourself.
Ok sorry just came back after 3 minutes of saying to my son stop, that’s enough, stop riding your scooter in the house. Just some of the things that might interrupt that time budget and well it just did for me. The most important thing you can do is not all of a sudden give up on what you are doing. Follow through and start here.
If you are always saying to yourself that you don’t have time and the reason is kids well here’s a possible solution for you and I say possible because you must be willing to change the way you do things a bit. I get my son involved when I workout. Now wait I know what you’re thinking, that he’s 3 years old and lifting a ton of weight. Wrong!
I have a pair of 1lb dumbbells that he likes to carry around because I have noticed that he likes to be like daddy or do what daddy is doing. When I’m doing pushups he will get on my back and it’s like joining in for him. When I’m doing lunges he will walk up and down with me. Now I know what you’re saying well you have a home gym and I don’t. Well I wrote an article titled Easy Home Workout Exercises so that you don’t have to leave the house to get a good workout.
I think you are starting to get the picture, if you have kids get them involved and we all have room at home to workout.
If you don’t have kids then some of us with kids might be saying that you should have more time, but hey we know that this is not always the case. I had you’re life once and work was a major priority and so was hanging out with my buddies. I get it believe me but we all want to have a life but I know that we all have the time to workout.
For those without kids you can wake a few minutes early or if you’re not the early morning person then about 30 minutes before bed you can hit the floor and do some pushups, grab a chair and put you’re feet on the chair and do some decline pushups. Off the same chair you can do some dips by putting the palms of you’re hands on the chair feet straight out on the floor together and back flush with the chair, now go down and come back up.
There are alternatives to going to the gym and they can still be effective. Here’s the point to this article, Manage you’re personal life like you would you’re work day and you’ll start to see the time just appear out of thin air. It’s always been there but I bet you are not managing your day. Take a step back and look at you’re day and ask yourself, do I have the time. I bet the answer is yes. The next question is do I want to do this? This is all about making a commitment to you’re self.
You need to reprogram you’re mind and the way you are used to doing things and start thinking outside of the box. Change this little bit and you will be well on you’re way. There is always time in you’re life to get fit and stay in shape.
Until Next Time

Christmas is such hectic time of the year and we all start to loose sight of the gym right around middle of November and usually don’t get back there until we make our New Years resolution to get fit and loose those extra 10lbs we gained. There is a way you can do all those extra things during this especially busy week and still manage to stay in shape.
To try and get over this time budget thing I have listed some of my ways I get over my time budget and some of the ways you can do this yourself.
Ok sorry just came back after 3 minutes of saying to my son stop, that’s enough, stop riding your scooter in the house. Just some of the things that might interrupt that time budget and well it just did for me. The most important thing you can do is not all of a sudden give up on what you are doing. Follow through and start here.
If you are always saying to yourself that you don’t have time and the reason is kids well here’s a possible solution for you and I say possible because you must be willing to change the way you do things a bit. I get my son involved when I workout. Now wait I know what you’re thinking, that he’s 3 years old and lifting a ton of weight. Wrong!
I have a pair of 1lb dumbbells that he likes to carry around because I have noticed that he likes to be like daddy or do what daddy is doing. When I’m doing pushups he will get on my back and it’s like joining in for him. When I’m doing lunges he will walk up and down with me. Now I know what you’re saying well you have a home gym and I don’t. Well I wrote an article titled Easy Home Workout Exercises so that you don’t have to leave the house to get a good workout.
I think you are starting to get the picture, if you have kids get them involved and we all have room at home to workout.
If you don’t have kids then some of us with kids might be saying that you should have more time, but hey we know that this is not always the case. I had you’re life once and work was a major priority and so was hanging out with my buddies. I get it believe me but we all want to have a life but I know that we all have the time to workout.
For those without kids you can wake a few minutes early or if you’re not the early morning person then about 30 minutes before bed you can hit the floor and do some pushups, grab a chair and put you’re feet on the chair and do some decline pushups. Off the same chair you can do some dips by putting the palms of you’re hands on the chair feet straight out on the floor together and back flush with the chair, now go down and come back up.
There are alternatives to going to the gym and they can still be effective. Here’s the point to this article, Manage you’re personal life like you would you’re work day and you’ll start to see the time just appear out of thin air. It’s always been there but I bet you are not managing your day. Take a step back and look at you’re day and ask yourself, do I have the time. I bet the answer is yes. The next question is do I want to do this? This is all about making a commitment to you’re self.
You need to reprogram you’re mind and the way you are used to doing things and start thinking outside of the box. Change this little bit and you will be well on you’re way. There is always time in you’re life to get fit and stay in shape.
Until Next Time
