This is always tough to admit, but nutrition is
more important
than
your workouts when it comes to fat loss.
And since diet
is more
important than exercise, I've decided to
spend a lot time sharing
nutrition
tips this week, starting with
these 5 diet secrets:
1) Your
nutrition
program doesn't have to be extreme.
Hold up on making any extreme
diet
changes. Make sure the nutrition
plan you've chosen is sustainable.
Simple
diet changes go a lot
farther than you might think.
Why not
just eat
more whole, natural foods rather than trying to go
on an
impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb extreme plan?
2) Get the
junk out
of the house.
If it's in your house, you'll eat it...and trust
me, this
goes for
me too. When I visit a relative's house for holiday, I
always eat
the
treats they have sitting around. That's why I keep the junk out
of
my
house.
So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your
home.
Success is that simple.
3) Fill in the
"diet-killing"
gap.
For some folks, the diet-killing gap is between work and
dinner.
For others, it's between dinner and bedtime, but for
almost
everyone, there is a point in the day when we suffer from
mindless
eating.
So make sure you have alternatives...as soon
as you
come home from
work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. That
will
keep
you full on a small amount of calories.
After dinner, if
you
need something sweet, stir up chocolate
protein powder into a small
bit of
plain yogurt. That will satisfy
you.
4) Chew your food 5-10
times
before swallowing.
Most people eat so fast they only about 1-2
times.
You'll really
notice a difference and you'll slow your eating so you
feel
full.
5) Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a meal.
American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of
studies
showing that this will help you reduce the food you
eat.
Surprisingly, consuming just water doesn't seem to do the
same
trick.
So those are just 5 of the diet secrets we have
for you
this year.
Stay tuned for proven secrets to help you lose fat in
2010.
As you probably already know, The Truth about Six Pack Abs has been the
best-selling online abs program for over 3 years now. You probably already have
a copy of the main program.
But everybody has been asking for VIDEO
versions of all of the unique exercises and workouts to go along with the
manuals.
Well, they are finally here!
Mike worked directly with
Dr. Samhouri, an expert Doctor of Physical Therapy, to go through all of the TAA
exercises, workouts, warmups, specialty exercises, etc for you on
video.
This is like having your own Personal Trainer and Physical
Therapist right on your computer (or your iPod too!) showing you perfect form on
every exercise, tricks to maximize results with each exercise, how to prevent
injury, and TONS more.
To celebrate the launch of this new Truth About
Abs Video program, Mike and Dr. Samhouri have decided to give you access this
entire VIP Video program for 70%-off until this Saturday March 13th.

Enjoy!
On Saturday morning I was walking home from the gym when I passed
by a young women - about 28 years old - who was talking on her
iPhone.
And I heard her say, "I'm going for a walk now to get some exercise
because I'm going out for a bad dinner tonight."
And I just wanted to yell, "No - no - no - no - no! That doesn't
work. It never has, it never will."
You can't out-cardio a bad diet.
Every woman I've ever met has made this mistake and had that
"cardio confessional mindset" at one time or another - and it goes
for most of the guys I know, too.
Unfortunately, at best, this poor girl will probably burn an extra
300-500 calories during her walk - if it's a really, really long
walk. But at dinner, she's likely to eat 400-700 calories during
the appetizer or consume that in liquid calories alone!
(NOTE: By "bad dinner", I'm guessing she meant a high-calorie meal,
and not a pity date with a deadbeat ex-boyfriend.)
The bottom line is that a single cardio session will not beat a bad
diet.
Now you might be thinking, "At least it's better than nothing."
But is it?
Remember, as I've mentioned in the past, one British study found
that some people OVEREAT in response to cardio exercise.
So when dinner comes around, this poor girl might think, "Oh, I did
that long walk today, so I can treat myself to a bigger dinner or
dessert."
The only thing that comes close to beating a bad diet is interval
training and resistance training.
Back in 2007, an Australian research study on interval training was
getting a LOT of press for the surprising results. In the study,
women who did interval training were able to lose belly fat without
changing their diet.
In fact, one subject, named Louise, said this:
"My diet was pretty bad back then, with lots of sweets, lots of
junk food...doughnuts and sugar -- it was awful."
And yet by the end of this study, interval training helped Louise
burn 8kg of fat in just 15 weeks - WITHOUT changing her diet.
Perhaps it IS POSSIBLE for you to out-train a bad diet - but only
if you use interval training.
And that's just another reason the best short, burst fat burning
workouts are based on this specific type of fat burning exercise.
So here's what you need to do:
1) Give up the "Cardio Confessional Mentality" and understand that
you can't "out-cardio a bad diet".
2) Stick to your simple lifestyle nutrition plan 90% of the time
and then enjoy your 10% reward meals GUILT-FREE.
3) Use interval training to burn the fat and resistance training to
sculpt your body.
It's that simple - a 3-step system for fat loss success that is
guaranteed to work every time.
Here's the program that shows you EXACTLY what to do:

mindset.

The Diet Solution Program promises a complete and
comprehensive weight
loss program that will not only help you lose body fat, but guarantees
you increased energy, health and vitality all at the same time.
With so many weight loss programs out on the market and on the internet
today, what makes this program any different than all the rest?
Before we get to the program, let's take a look at the expert behind
this program. Isabel De Los Rios is a nutrition and exercise specialist
with 10 years of experience helping clients reach their ideal weight and
tackle conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high
cholesterol. Isabel has a very extensive educational background in
nutrition and exercise physiology. Her personal experience with her
own weight struggles and her mother’s severe diabetes led her search for
the BEST nutrition information available today. The Diet Solution
Program is a result of her 15 year study and research.
I've also talked to Isabel about her training and education background,
and I'll be honest, it was impressive, unlike other so-called “health
experts”, who are just following main stream nutrition programs. Isabel
provides her readers with the truth: the facts most people have never
taken the time to research, read and decipher.
Plus, Isabel has been a nutrition and exercise specialist for the past
10 years and has personally worked with hundreds of clients in her own
private facility, overseeing successful weight loss programs. This hands
on experience with real people solidified the facts and principles she
had learned in books, journals and from other health professionals. The
proof was really in the results of real people.
In fact, Isabel's articles are pretty radical when it comes to her
nutrition principles which is why her approach works when main-stream
nutrition fails. So if you are looking for the same old nutrition
theories taught in every other book and program on the market today,
this is not the program for you.
Now one of the biggest questions about the program is simply, "What is
The Diet Solution Program?" Well according to Isabel, it is the most
comprehensive and detailed nutrition manual available on the market
today. Not only does it teach you exactly what principles you need to
follow to finally reach your ideal weight, it gives you the meal plans,
shopping lists and recipes to do so. It does not push some extreme,
unreasonable way to lose weight. It actually teaches you how you can
make this healthy way of eating into a lifestyle. And if you have ever
attempted to lose weight in the past, you know that the only way to
maintain it is to make it a way of life. The best part about Isabel’s
program is that this new way of life is not some torturous eating
regimen. She really shows you that you can eat delicious food, combined
the right way, to lose weight and maintain it.
One of the best side effects of the whole program is the increased
health and vitality that every participant experiences. Decreases in
blood sugar levels, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, elimination
of digestive discomfort and cleared skin conditions are just some of the
few benefits other people have already experienced.
Frankly, I've used the program myself and recommended to many others.
Why? Because I was sick and tired of following nutrition plans that
either did not work or made me lose weight but feel terrible. Yes, I
want to be at my ideal weight but I also want to maintain a healthy body
at the same time and not have to resort to extreme, radical methods.
The Diet Solution Program helped me lose weight and feel healthy and
energized at the same time.
Now realize that some effort from you will be required, but Isabel has
really done all the hard work for you. Included in her program is:
The manual is comprehensive. Jam packed with incredible and valuable
information. But you don’t need to wait to get through the whole thing
before you can start. You can use Isabel’s Quick Start Guide to start
the program ASAP. Some people have even just used the quick start guide
and lost 10-15lbs in a little as 6 weeks.
The Diet Solution Program is not just another weight loss scheme or
extreme diet. It is truly the only way to lose weight and enjoy a
lifetime of health. The Diet Solution Program is perfect for people who
have struggled with their weight their whole life and are sick and tired
of programs that just don’t work long term. The DSP is also perfect
for people who want to take control of their health and reverse health
conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease.
If you're in the slightest bit curious, I recommend you look closely at
Isabel's program. I was very impressed with all of The Diet Solution
Program meal plans, the bonuses, the guarantee, and Isabel's expertise.
For the money, it's the best deal in the weight loss industry - so much
better than diet pills! And remember...
Isabel De Los Rios’s The Diet Solution Program is backed by a 90 day
money back guarantee. And this is a real guarantee... if you are not
completely satisfied, you will receive your money back, no "ifs,"
"ands," or "buts." So you really have nothing to lose.

fast-food
fatloss-tips
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Believe
it or not you can get lean by eating fast food.
I know, it sounds
crazy... but in a few weeks I'm going to prove it to the world with the release
of my newest mini e-book "Fast Food Fitness: How I Dropped 40lbs Eating Fast
Food Every Day."
Do you think I'm joking? I'm not.
Of course
there's a WAY to eat fast food and drop the pounds. You can't just eat like
everyone else does. That's common sense.
And believe me, there are more
healthy ways to drop the pounds than eating fast food... for sure.
But
the way I figure it: Would you rather be healthIER and lean or UNhealthy and
overfat?
Silly question... so consider "Fast Food Fitness" a path to the
lesser of two evils... and one that actually got me to 10% bodyfat (that's
pretty lean!) a few years ago.
Here's how it started:
I simply
hate to cook! I have since solved that problem... I hired a part-time chef
(it's cheaper than it sounds)... but until two years ago I was eating out every
single meal... I mean EVERY MEAL.
Most of the time... not all of the
time, but most of the time... these meals were fast food joints like burger
joints and even fried chicken places.
But I had to keep my physique, so
... what to do?
Well... you'll have to wait. At least a few weeks.
If you want the book for half-price, you have to own a copy of "Every
Other Day Dietplan"... everyone who owns a copy before "Fast Food Fitness" hits
the Internet will get half-off.
So go here if you don't have EODD yet
...
Here's 3 of my top 25
fast-food diet-tips... just these 3 will take you 1/3 of the way
there...
First, use my Half-n-Half Principle. Order whatever you are
going to order and then have the person behind the counter cut the order exactly
in HALF.
Half to go... half to eat there.
Eat half now.... then
the other half 3-4 hours later. Believe it or not you will store less bodyfat
and even increase your metabolism eating like this.
Simple trick... give
it a shot.
Second, ditch all the starch. That means buns, bread and
anything made of flour. BUT here's the "still tastes good" trick I use. I keep
ONE of the pieces of bread from, say, my hamburger. Then I "pick" at it while I
enjoy the meat and either a small diet soda or tea. Eat no more than 5 "picks"
at the bread... about half a slice. You still get the exact taste of a burger
with none of the stuff that makes most people over-fat.
Third, for you
chicken lovers, split your order between fried and baked chicken. KFC has
excellent baked chicken... try it. Then strip most of the skin off the fried
chicken. Not all... most.
You still get the taste, but with far fewer
bad food-stuffs and calories.... make sense?
Enjoy the tips... but
remember, the healthiest (and tastiest) way to eat is still my Every Other Day
DIetplan, which works in your favorite foods each
week....

You'll agree though, that it's also kind of weird.
I mean NO other trainer is using intervals in this set-up, but Craig
actually explains WHY you are doing them that way. If you're into
the science behind workouts, you'll love his Adrenaline Intervals
article.

science of fat loss - but with Turbulence Training Adrenaline, you'll
get shown scientific PROOF that this program works.)
Turbulence Training is the ONLY choice for smart workouts that are
proven, FUN, and guaranteed to get results.

And no matter what, you'll get to keep ALL of the workouts!
Most guys make the big mistake of doing long, slow cardio and doing a few
weight machines and thinking that will help them lose body fat, but it's not
that simple.
First of all, slow cardio is boring, so most guys end up skipping those
workouts anyways. And second of all, research has shown that when men do 6
hours of cardio per week for an entire year, they only lose 6 pounds.
At that rate, it will take forever for you to lose your beer belly. Instead,
you need to stop doing cardio. But that's good news, right? You'll save time
and you won't dread your workouts.
Now about those weight machines...if you are doing the same workouts over
and over again, your body will not change. You won't lose fat, you won't
gain muscle, and you won't be able to get lean and have a flat stomach.
Instead, you'll be stuck with a skinny-fat body and a little bit of a belly.
So here's what you need to do.
First, focus on total body exercises. You don't even need weight machines.
You can be doing squats, lunges, pushups, bodyweight rows, chinups, and
pullups, if you prefer to use only bodyweight exercises. Alternatively, you
can switch to dumbbells and free weights for more traditional gym exercises.
But either way, you need to have more variety in your program. Plus, you
need to apply the one simple trick to your training program.
And what is that one simple trick?
What you need to do is increase your training intensity.
Sure it's "hard" to do 45 minutes of cardio, but if you can do something for
45 minutes straight, that's NOT intense.
So you need to switch from slow cardio to intense interval training, and
from easy weight machine circuits to intense resistance training supersets.
By doing that, research shows that you will lose belly fat faster than with
cardio, and you will burn more calories in the hours AFTER exercise - even
when you are sitting on the couch watching TV.
Plus, intense workouts are shorter - and often only take half as long as the
slow cardio, weight machine circuit type programs.
So let's review. Make one simple change to your program by increasing
exercise intensity. By doing that, you'll save time and lose belly fat.
To get the exact details - which take a lot more space than we have here -
on how to do short, burst workouts to burn belly fat, then get started with
the world's most popular fat burning workout system, Turbulence Training.
It's been proven by tens of thousands of clients all over the world, and has
been featured in Men's Health and Men's Fitness magazines as the fastest
workout to help guys lose belly fat and build muscle. And you can even do
these workouts at home.
