You only have to see the incredible bodies some guys have got from following this course to realise just about anyone can do it.

Primal You Review

Flat Abs Workouts Flat Abs Workouts -

The weight loss market is overflowing with products and services, making it hard to make a choice. I have assessed countless weight loss programs, which range from high-quality to downright awful. Maybe that’s why people keep on buying them because a lot of them don’t work.

Right now I am perusing a really good one – it’s called The Primal You, by Derek Gatehouse, and I became a big admirer for many reasons.

When his doctor told Derek at age 26 that he had to take medication for high blood pressure, he began learning about food and diet even more, as he had always heard that blood pressure was controllable with the right diet, which most of us would agree with.

12 years down the road, at age 38, Derek put himself on The Primal You diet. In a matter of weeks he lost weight, put on muscle, and got his blood pressure back under control. All this occurred about 13 years ago and he hasn’t taken medication since.

The incredible piece of the experience he says, is that the eating habits his research revealed is the “diet that was ideal for the human race” – and because of this, it resets your body’s metabolism to a state of fat burning, as opposed to a state of fat storing like most of current day foods do.

The essence of the diet really makes so much sense to me because it investigates what humans are genetically programmed to eat.

The part I like is that it’s not some loony fad diet, it is entirely natural and good for your health. In fact, Derek talks about optimum health as much as he talks about losing weight. The other good thing it that it works fast too.

And there’s no cutting back on food called for. You’re able to eat a considerable amount of food and followers assert they did not experience hunger when on a primal diet.

Primal You is not just the average ebook that many people sell. Along with a workbook, this online course has 2 ½ hours of video, broken into 6 easy to watch “episodes”. Another good point is that it also allows you to have access to more than one thousand online recipes.

People on the website who have been on the diet for an extended time also claim that you never feel hungry on this diet and that you can finally eat and not go hungry. As a considerate consumer exasperated with all the conflicting ideas in the marketplace, Derek has explored exercise and dieting diligently for three decades and seems to have hit on a new idea that is actually ancient.

Having seen so many diets come and go, and having seen the outcomes of this diet system and also how easy it is to understand and to follow, it could well be the answer to many people’s weightloss problems. I have to say it might not suit everyone but for those it does, they could see spectacular results.

Cholesterol And Diet

admin — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:57:55 +0000

Flat Abs Workouts Flat Abs Workouts -

There is so much misunderstanding and misinformation about cholesterol and diet, The fact is, it is not as simple as it seems. People ask questions like..

What is cholesterol
What is the difference between high cholesterol and low cholesterol?
What are “Good” cholesterol and “bad” cholesterol
The effects of cholesterol
Let me give you some of the more surprising facts about cholesterol.

What is Cholesterol?

Firstly, cholesterol is a hormone produced mostly by your liver, and like all hormones, it has many important jobs to do in maintaining your health. It is a critical structural molecule in the membranes of every one of your cells, and it is an important ingredient of brain tissue – just to name two.

Cholesterol is not an evil beast like so many people think it is – the truth is you cannot live without cholesterol! However, just like I’m always saying about insulin, you need the correct amount in your system. It’s true that you don’t want too much, but you sure don’t want too little either!

How Does Cholesterol Get Into Your Blood?

There are two ways to get cholesterol into your blood – by eating foods that have cholesterol (known as “dietary cholesterol”) and through the liver production I just mentioned.

Regarding these two ways, your body has a balance system – if you don’t get enough dietary cholesterol, your liver will produce more to make up the deficiency. (Proof enough that cholesterol is a needed thing… you just don’t want tons too much).

So here’s a hugely popular myth we can go ahead and expose today: “You get high cholesterol by eating too many cholesterol foods. “ The fact is there isn’t a single test or paper or shred of proof in the medical community that offers any proof of this.

It’s just a theory… a theory that has growing evidence against it.

One of my favorite doctors on the subject, Dr. Michael Eades (more from Dr. Eades in a second), has looked for years and he cannot find any correlation between eating dietary cholesterol and getting high cholesterol (and locating this type of research is what he does – if it existed, he’d know). In addition, most people only get about 15% of their total cholesterol from food (the rest is produced by your own body).

So you would have to eat an impossible amount of these cholesterol foods in order to “eat yourself to high cholesterol”. So what causes high cholesterol then? Pretty much the same thing that produces all the high blood pressure of recent generations, as well as the obesity epidemic. A high carb diet!

Eating a diet that is too high in carbohydrates, and not high enough in protein (the typical diet of today), causes your own liver to produce too much cholesterol! THAT’S how you get high cholesterol.

Cholestorol Testing

As for the cholesterol testing we all go to the doctor for… this floored me. When doctors do a cholesterol test, the final report covers four criteria:

1. Your “good” cholesterol, called HDL (high-density lipoprotein)

2. Your “bad” cholesterol, called LDL (low-density lipoprotein)

3. Another “bad one”: VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein)

4. Your total cholesterol level.

But here’s the kicker!

Testing for your total cholesterol level, and for your HDL level, is pretty straightforward. But performing an actual, physical test for the other two – the LDL and VLDL (the bad ones) is more difficult, and quite costly. And so – unbeknownst to you – these numbers are almost always estimated.

Friedewald Equation

An equation called the “Friedewald Equation” is used to estimate your LDL levels (developed by William Friedewald and others in 1972). This has become the standard, no-questions-asked process. Now, in fairness, the equation has shown to be very accurate most of the time.

But in recent years, more and more situations have been found where this equation produces a much higher number than if you actually tested – the estimate is wrong.

An example of such a situation is people who keep their carbs nice and low; such folks tend to have triglyceride levels lower than 100 mg/dl, which skews the Friedewald equation. Which means those of us who actually eat a correct, healthy, Primal diet would be told that our cholesterol is too high – because of a faulty equation. And then your prescription-happy physician will whip out his pad and prescribe a statin.

The moral of this story?

Keep learning. You are the guardian of your health. Doctors are one important source to be sure, but only one. To prevent your liver from over-producing cholesterol, eat a diet made up of about 65% protein and fat, and 35% carbohydrates – just like The Primal You™ Diet Course lays out.

If you are being told that your cholesterol is high, and a statin (or treatment) is recommended, insist on a direct test of your LDL cholesterol level, not the estimated version derived from the Friedewald equation. (Feel free to show your physician this article!)

Primal Diet – Is Fat Bad For You?

admin — Fri, 20 May 2011 15:40:45 +0000

Flat Abs Workouts Flat Abs Workouts -

Is fat bad for you? Well, this article is about the Primal diet and how it preaches the fat is not bad for you, but good. It seems strange to read this after so many years of having low fat diets rammed down our throats (forgive the pun).

Let’s face it, if you talk to just about anyone trying to lose weight they will mention the fact that they are on a low fat diet.

When you ask them why they are on a low fat diet, they will invariably tell you the same thing: “Well…you don’t have to have fat. Fat is bad for you.”

But then ask these same people precisely where they read about this, or at the very least refer to one reputable source or scientific studies or something… do you realize what you’ll get?

They’ll look at you like you’re crazy for even asking the question. Because… everyone knows fat is bad for you, right…? Well, I am sorry but… the Primal diet says that is completely wrong.

More about eating a Primal diet: http://www.theprimalyou.com

Fat is good for you!

Not surprisingly, it’s really not difficult to identify how the whole “fat is bad for you” approach materialized. First of all, we are massively affected by what we read and listen to and see in the tabloids and on television. And let’s face the facts… from the books were declaring you have got to go low fat.

Aside from that, it’s not too hard to believe that if you eat more fat, you will end up being more overweight.

In spite of this… that’s simply not the way it works. It’s the unique combinations of protein, fat and carbohydrates you eat that work together.

Subject to which combination you eat (and the quantity of each), your body will either store fat, or burn fat. In addition to helping with your blood pressure and cholesterol, or making it a whole lot worse!

“Low fat” is history!

I was in my local book store last week and I happened upon a variety of the most popular dieting guides. I picked up the two or three of them and skimmed the contents, and you know what? “Low fat” is history. And not too soon!

These new diet books (and many more) all have in common the same motif… one which has finally, thank goodness, replaced the low fat mantra.

So, what is the latest diet idea?

It’s all about your hormones and how they regulate your body. The thing is…you have got the awesome power of being capable of setting your metabolism to whichever “state” you want. Just with food.

The low fat diet (strangely enough) winds up setting your metabolism to a “fat storing” state, whereas the Primal diet will set your metabolism to a “fat burning” state. The Primal diet says that fat is not bad for you but is good. Goes against the grain doesn’t it?

The degree of research available now, and trials which have been done, is incredible but the only way to find out if the Primal diet works it to try it for yourself. You will have to see how you feel on a primal diet – whether or not you lose weight at all and especially to see if you feel so hungry all the time as in a normal diet. Everyone is different so it’s your decision.

Fat Loss For Idiots, Easy Ways To Lose Fat

admin — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:09:07 +0000

Flat Abs Workouts Flat Abs Workouts -

Are looking for a weight loss program that works? If so, you’ve probably seen the Fat Loss for Idiots program around, along with plenty of Fat Loss For Idiots Diet Reviews. What’s this program about? It’s touting to offer you a high rate of fat loss with minimal effort involved.

Fat Loss For Idiots works on the claim that it is all about eating your foods in a certain manner throughout the day, while decreasing the attention that is paid to a proper exercise plan.

By Vince DelMonte

But how beneficial is Fat Loss For Idiots? Understanding some common dieting myths is important to determine whether this program is worth its salt. First, if you read their premise, they state that if you eat 2500 calories a day, your body will adapt and stop burning 2500 calories a day.

Well sorry folks, but that just is not correct. If your body adapted to burning off however many calories a day you are eating, how do you think you got fat in the first place? Your body certainly did not adapt to those calories – what makes you think it will adapt to the ones this program tells you to eat?

The bottom line is that if you are looking for a smart way to lose fat, you will need to create a caloric deficit. Your Six Pack Quest does this. By reading through it, you will get access to a metabolic calculator to determine the optimal number of calories your body needs to guarantee fat loss, without feeling like you’re starving.

Sure, if you have been on a starvation diet, you will need to up the calories – and when you do, you’ll find you do actually lose weight! But if you are currently eating thousands of calories, your body will not adapt to burning those off. You need an action plan that works – Your Six Pack Quest will lay it out for you in easy to understand terms that anyone can follow.

Next, when looking at the Fat Loss For Idiots program, they downgrade exercise stating that it doesn’t ‘matter’ when it comes to gaining or losing weight. How can exercise not matter?! Study after study has shown that dieters who combine exercise with their dietary efforts show a much higher rate of fat loss, rather than a mixture of muscle and body fat.

Do you know what happens when you lose both muscle and fat? Your metabolism slows down. So sure, you’ve lost weight but now your natural metabolic rate is slower meaning you have to eat less for the rest of your life! Is that something you want? A diet of rabbit food forever? Didn’t think so.

Your Six Pack Quest will show you how to exercise productively, where you aren’t spending hours in the gym, but you are getting results. Doing so will help you retain that crucial muscle mass, thus helping keep your metabolism revved and make maintaining your weight loss a piece of cake.

So, instead of falling for another gimmicky plan that promises rapid weight loss (they claim 9 pounds in 11 days – which will be mostly water anyway), opt for a plan that combines both a healthy, long-term way of eating with healthy exercise that doesn’t feel like torture.

Your Six Pack Quest offers meal plans just as Fat Loss For Idiots does, but it takes things one step further – you’ll also received detailed exercise descriptions and plans for a variety of exercise needs, a workout DVD, a virtual trainer, supplement information, along with continuous updates on all the latest on the research front related to fat loss.

It really is an all inclusive program that will address all the factors that contribute to weight gain – not just diet alone. Remember, losing weight should be a lifestyle approach, not just changing what you put on your plate.

The Truth About Beginner Fat Loss Workouts

admin — Mon, 16 May 2011 15:30:10 +0000

Flat Abs Workouts Flat Abs Workouts -

For fat loss the last thing you want if you are a beginner is to do is long, slow, boring cardio workouts.

Why is this?

Well… there are a couple of reasons why fat loss workouts for beginners can go wrong.

Reason #1:

Beginners will get an overuse injury from doing too much exercise volume too soon.

I had many new clients come to me after injuring themselves trying to get back in shape by doing excessive cardio. Pleasedon’t make the same mistake. We had to spend weeks rehabilitating their injuries beforewe could kick their fat loss workouts into high gear.

Reason #2:

Long, slow, boring cardio doesn’t very work well – if at all – for fat loss. Research has shown that doing 300 hours of cardio (6 hours per week for 50 weeks) resulted in only 5-6 pounds of weight loss in American men and women. That’s a waste of time.

So what’s a better beginner fat loss workout?

Let me explain.

FIRST, we start by doing a general bodyweight warm-up circuit. Most old-school workouts tell you to do a 10-minute warm-upon a treadmill, but that’s a waste of time.How does a treadmill prepare you for a total body workout?

Answer: It doesn’t. The jokes on us when we waste our time with it.

In the Turbulence Training workouts, you’ll get proven bodyweight circuit warm-ups that get you ready for fat loss.

SECOND, we do a lot of bodyweight resistance training, often while lying down on a mat.

That’s right, you’ll discover how to work your body and burn calories while LYING DOWN.

You’re going to be shocked by these exercises. In the Turbulence Training Beginner Workouts, you’ll see how to use total body exercises to burn fat with little or NO equipment, all done in the comfort of your own home.

THIRD, we finish off with interval training.

And YES, beginners can do interval workouts.

Here’s how I know this:

1): Researchers have used interval training in all types of populations, such as overweight beginners and even in cardiac rehabilitation (talk to your doctor though first, of course, if you have any medical conditions).

2: Research shows that subjects PREFER interval training over long cardio. So there you go, I’m not the only one who thinks cardio is boring – even subjects who volunteer for research studies would rather do interval training.

3: The most important interval training fat loss researchstudy was performed on overweight beginner level women.

That study found that women who performed interval trainingon a stationary bike lost more belly fat than woman who didlong slow cardio.

Case closed.

Fortunately, with the Turbulence Training Beginner Workoutprogram you also get my “Bodyweight Cardio” program that replaces interval training if you don’t have a bike.

You can get that workout, plus three more beginner fat lossworkouts here – all for less than the price of a greasy large pizza meal from one of the big chains:

Beginners can lose fat very fast with these workouts,

To build lean muscle and lose body fat you need to eat the right foods along with exercise. There are so many choices available and it’s hard to get it right. This article by Mike Geary – the author of The Truth about Six Pack Abs – will help you choose the right foods to eat. He will tell you all about the 55 foods you should have for musclebuilding and fat loss.

by Mike Geary

In most of my Lean-Body Secrets Newsletters, I like to provide a healthy snack or meal recipe that not only is delicious and healthy, but also helps to get you closer to that hard-body appearance that everyone is looking for, while also more importantly, improving your health for life. In this article, I’d like to give you healthy food ideas in a different way. This time, I figured I’d just give you some ideas of what I stock my fridge and cabinets with.

Remember, if you don’t have junk around the house, you’re less likely to eat junk! If all you have is healthy nutritious foods around the house, you’re forced to make smart choices. Basically, it all starts with making smart choices and avoiding temptations when you make your grocery store trip. Now these are just some of my personal preferences, but perhaps they will give you some good ideas that you’ll enjoy.

Get Rid of Man Breasts

Manboobs (gynaecomastia) can be embarrassing. If fact, some men are so embarrassed by them they even resort to surgery for gynecomastia. So what causes manboobs and more importantly, how do you lose them?

3 quick questions:

1. Are you a guy or do you know one close to you over the age of 35?

2. Have you or he looked at your/his bare chest lately?

3. If so… did you see them?…The dreaded….

“Manboobs”?

Manboobs are not funny!

Obviously if you are female this is not an issue. But for us men, “gynaecomastia”, often jokingly referred to as manboobs (we can thank “Seinfeld” for that) is anything but funny.

From this point on, I’ll refer to it as “MB” if that’s okay by you.

MB is not an age thing. It can occur at almost any time in life. However, for those of us over 35, it is more common.

This is just one of the many symptoms of “andropause”, or “male menopause.”

When you age your testosterone levels decline…and more than that the testosterone gets “weaker” due to an imbalance between it and estrogen.

When you combine that with our modernized “estrogen-rich” environment that Dr. Holly Lucille frequently lectures on, you have a problem. A big MB problem.

MB is associated with lack of sex drive and excess bellyfat due to the estrogen.

What’s even worse is that excess estrogen has been positively linked to prostate cancer.

So as you can see, MBs are not so funny after all. In fact they can be positively dangerous to have.

But you can do something about them without resorting to expensive surgery. Something that’s entirely natural.

Check out Dr. Lucille’s NaturaPause Audios. There is an entire audio dedicated to male menopause and natural solutions that really work.

Most so-called cures do not work.

Hers does.

Health Benefits of Weightlifting

admin — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 12:44:03 +0000

Flat Abs Workouts Flat Abs Workouts -
Although there are many people who take up weightlifting because they just want to build muscle and look good, there are others who have a different aim in mind. These people know that there are many health benefits to be gained from weightlifting as well as having a body to be proud of.

There are too many people who simply don’t understand the many health benefits to be gained from weightlifting which will help to avoid health problems later on. Health problems such as lower bone density, a decreased metabolic rate, higher stress levels and other negative outcomes that are linked to constant stress.

Health Benefits of Weightlifting

Increased Bone Density

Weightlifting is beneficial because it is one of the best weight bearing exercises you can do, increasing your bone density and reducing the chances of developing osteoporosis and stress fractures in the future.

Many people have a misconception that running is the best exercise for increasing bone density, but this is not totally correct. What is true, is that running promotes the breakdown of muscle tissue in the body, whilst weight lifting, being an anabolic process, helps to promote the building of muscle tissue.

What this really means is that if you follow a weightlifting program you have a better chance of preserving your bone mass, not to mention there will be far less impact than going on extended runs.

Less Chance of Injuries

The thing is, when you do strength training, not only are your muscles going to get bigger and stronger, you’ll also work the ligaments and tendons that are connecting bones, muscles, and other tissues. This will reduce the chance of them becoming damaged when doing other physical activities.

If you’ve ever been injured, you know just how frustrating this can be. In the vast majority of injuries, it came about as a direct result of a tendon, ligament, or muscle not being strong enough when a stressful force is applied.

As weight training really helps to strengthen the deep tendons and ligaments, it’s one of the best ways of preventing injuries.

Reducing Health Related Risks

Research has indicated that regular weight training can have a positive effect on your health by reducing the rate of insulin resistance, blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. If you combine a sensible weight training program with a well-planned diet, you’ll be going a long way towards preventing these kind of serious health problems

Preventing Fat Gain

Weightlifting can help you burn fat because the more you weight lift, the higher your metabolism will be. This means that you can eat more and not put on extra weight. Any small amount of weight you might put on won’t be fat but muscle in any case, which is much healthier.

You Won’t Look Like A Bodybuilder…

What most people really want from a weightlifting program is to look athletic and toned. But one thing they worry about when thinking about starting a weightlifting program is they think they will get big and bulky. However, the idea that you will become some kind of muscular freak is a misconception.

The fact is, you only get massive muscles like a body-builder if you consume huge amounts of calories and take your workouts to the max. You can workout all you want, but if you are not getting the right muscle building nutrients, i.e., amino acids, carbohydrates, and dietary fats, you aren’t going to get extreme muscle growth.

Bottom line, if you’re not consuming enough calories, you are NOT going to build really big muscles. This is exactly what makes bodybuilders look like bodybuilders. It’s not just about the way they train, but more about the way they eat to build massive muscles.

So, dismiss the thought that weightlifting will cause you to develop large bulky muscles. If you control what you eat this simply can’t happen. To look like a bodybuilder you have to eat like a bodybuilder. It’s the diet which makes all the difference in how weight lifting will shape your body.

By not including weight training as part of your current workout program you are making a big mistake. Weight training is not just for building muscle and looking good – it will have far-reaching effects on your long-term health and fitness levels. Start weight training today and you will soon look good, feel good and go a long way to staying that way in the future.
