Does Diet Soda Make You Fat, or is it Really Good for Weight Loss?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:00:42 +0000

by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

We all know by now that soda (aka “pop” in some areas) is one of the most evil things you can put in your body… the nasty chemicals, the gut-fattening high fructose corn syrup, and a myriad of health problems caused by this carbonated cocktail worshipped by those that don’t care about their health or body.

Since you’re one of my subscribers, I know that you actually do care about your health and the appearance of your body.

Surprisingly, many people falsely believe that “diet” soda is in some way a good thing for losing body fat. In fact, I hear people all the time proudly state that they eat so healthy and only drink diet soda.

So let’s set the record straight…

There is NOTHING even remotely healthy about drinking diet soda. In fact, I’ve even seen several studies that showed dedicated diet soda drinkers got even FATTER than their regular soda drinking counterparts.

Here’s some findings from an 8-year University of Texas study that I had read…

An excerpt from the study author:

“What didn’t surprise us was that total soft drink use was linked to overweight and obesity,” Fowler tells WebMD. “What was surprising was when we looked at people only drinking diet soft drinks, their risk of obesity was even higher.”

“There was a 41 percent increase in risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of diet soft drink a person consumes each day,” Fowler says.

Ok, as if we didn’t already know how bad regular soda was for us, and now they’re showing us studies that diet s

oda makes us even fatter than the already bad stuff!

Are U Overeating From Exercise

Editor — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:00:19 +0000

The phrase “To lose weight you need to eat less and exercise more” has become a cliche. All dieters know that eating less food is one of the best practices when trying to lose body fat, but becoming more active seems to be the major hurdle that causes almost all weight loss plans to fail again and again.

But what if the opposite was true? What if I was to tell you that exercising may actually be causing you to lose less wight?

Generally, most people tend to exercise very early in the morning and on an empty stomach. This is probably because they have heard or read somewhere that this is the best time to exercise or the only time of day where you can squeeze in a workout.

Whatever the reason may be, if you exercise on an empty stomach and really early, it can actually wreak havoc on your stomach. While exercise does burn calories, it also makes you feel hungrier afterwards. Along with the “high” that the body feels after a prolonged amount of exercise, this can often lead to overeating.

Although you may not end up eating 4 pieces of toast along with 6 eggs and 2 large glasses of orange juice after each workout, your calculation of the amount of calories burnt during the workout is often much higher than the actual amount.

Add this to the fact that many people also underestimate the amount of calories they eat at meals, combine for slower weight loss.

Losing weight too quickly is something that you should not aim to accomplish. A slower approach to weight loss is one that will most likely see permanent results and the plan can be maintained for a longer period of time because it is tolerable and not too strict.

One key to successful weight loss is to never perform a workout just before a main meal. Try to do it just before some other activity or before you need to go out.

For instance, if you just finished a 30 minute workout on your treadmill, you should go and shower, and then maybe go out for a walk to the park, or maybe you could go to your local coffee shop and enjoy a sugar-free, low fat latte.

Something to keep in mind is fiber. Fiber will help to fill your stomach without adding too many calories. So what you could do is eat a high fiber snack just before a workout. Slim-Fast make great bars of this type as well as All-Bran.

One of the biggest downfalls of weight loss are sport waters and protein shakes. These usually contain very large amounts of sugar. All the calories you had just burned off get added straight back to your body with these sugary drinks. Be sure to check the labels and choose low calorie versions.

So remember that exercise can cause you to have a larger appetite and take precautions to watch your snacking after workouts and learn to snack wisely.

Stability Ball Circuit for Abs and Legs

Editor — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:00:51 +0000

You’re probably thinking two workouts per week at only 20 minutes are not enough to lose fat. To be honest, however, if you combine a great diet with those two workouts, then you’ll experience incredible changes.

But, if you want to do a little more then you can do my favourite stability ball circuit on your off days. This is an excellent way to strengthen your abdominals as well as your hamstrings in a way that is hard to replicate with barbell and dumbbell exercises.

This 10-15 minute circuit will be six exercises added on at the end of a Depletion workout or you can use it as a third workout and include intervals at the end. For the circuit, you will complete each exercise with no rest in between. Once you have completed a circuit, rest one minute and then repeat two to three times.

For the stability ball circuit you will alternate between ab exercises and lowerback/hamstring exercises.

To start, you will do the stability ball ab rollout. What you want to do is place your knees on a mat, your hands on top of the ball, and then roll out and back in. Now, there are many different ways to do this exercise. For instance, you can roll out and back in quickly or you can go really slow on the way out and quick on the way back in. The important thing is to mix it up every time you work out. Also, be sure to keep your abs braced and your body in a straight line throughout the exercise.

After the rollout exercise, you will do stability ball leg curls for 20 repetitions. Place your heels up on the ball, bridge your hips up, and curl in then out.

Move immediately into a 30 second plank with your elbows on the ball.

Next you will do stability ball hip extensions for 20 repetitions. This exercise will work your hamstrings in a similar way to the leg curl, with a slight difference. Although this exercise doesn’t look like much, you will feel a strong contraction in your hamstrings.

Once you’ve finished all the repetitions move quickly into stability ball jackknives. Place your hands on the ground and your feet on the ball and then bring your knees into your chest for 15-20 repetitions. If you want to increase the difficulty, then you can hold your position in the “out” position for 3 seconds.

To finish off the stability ball circuit, you will do back extensions. Find a wide base of support and then perform the exercise for 15 repetitions.

Now, rest for one minute and then go through the circuit two to three more times. At the end of your circuit workout, you can include some kettlebell swings or do regular intervals for 10-15 minutes.

The Top Fat Loss Secrets for Flat Six-Pack Abs and a Lean Stomach

Editor — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:00:21 +0000

an interview by Geovanni Derice with Mike Geary – Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

I had the pleasure of being interviewed recently by a fitness professional from NYC, Certified Personal Trainer, Geovanni Derice. The interview is below and I think you’re going to like it… I reveal some of the hardest hitting strategies for getting rid of that stubborn stomach fat to uncover those flat six pack abs that everyone wants.

“GD: Welcome Mike to our 4-ever-Toned Fitness Journal. For those who do not know you, please tell us a few things about yourself and how you can help our readers with their fitness and health.

MG: Thanks for having me, Geo. Well, to go back a little, I have been heavily involved in fitness and sports for about 17 years now, ever since I was a teenager. Being involved in sports in high school got me interested in strength training and conditioning.

At that point, once I started feeling more energetic, getting stronger, and looking better, I was instantly hooked for life. I’m 33 now and still addicted to the way living a healthy and fit lifestyle makes me feel energetic, confident, strong, and youthful on a daily basis.

I decided earlier in my 20’s that I wanted to make the commitment to help other people experience the excitement of being fit and getting in the best shape of their lives, especially since we’ve reached an epidemic of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, etc. That’s why I became a fitness professional. It just gives me so much satisfaction to help others, who have struggled for years to get in good shape, and show them that it can be done, and it can be fun in the process.

I’ve expanded over the years from just reaching local individuals with personal training, into being able to help people all over the globe achieve their fitness goals with the reach of the internet. I only hope that my passion for fitness inspires people to take action and improve how they look and feel for life.

GD: Now Mike, there’s so many things out there as to what works and what does not work… if you had to pick 3 things that work time and time again to get flat lean abs, what would they be?

MG: The first and most important thing to get control of in order to lose your belly fat and get flat abs is cleaning up your diet. Exercise is important, but your diet is king when it comes to losing body fat so that you can see your abs.

There’s so much confusion these days about what a healthy diet that promotes fat loss really is… after all, we are bombarded by conflicting messages in the media about what is healthy and what is not, and you have all of these gimmicky diet books about low carb, low fat, high protein, vegetarian, fasting, atkins, south beach, liquid diets, and hundreds more. There’s so much conflicting info, that the average consumer doesn’t even know where to start when it comes to eating for fat loss.

The second thing that works time and time again, is to focus on the intensity of your workouts and focus on working the body as a whole in order to get the best metabolic response to lose that stubborn stomach fat.

In order to really get lean, the workouts should have a high intensity, with short rest periods, working the largest muscle groups of the body, instead of trying to isolate specific small muscles like the biceps, triceps, or calves.

For the third thing, let’s talk about actually training the abs specifically. When it comes to training the abs, if you want real results, I always recommend forgetting about the crunches and situps for the most part. They are ok for someone that is really deconditioned, but most people that already have some training under their belt need a much better stimulus for their abs than crunches. Crunches are one of the abs exercises that actually provide the least amount of resistance, and remember that resistance is what develops and tones the muscles.

I provide a ton of great abs exercises in my book, but one of THE highest resistance exercises for the abs, is hanging leg raises (but NOT the way you see most people at the gym doing them). The key to doing these and actually working the hell out of your abs is to curl your pelvis up as you raise your legs. Almost nobody ever does this right. To be honest, the majority of people cannot do this at first, but I provide some strategies in my book as to how to progress to doing these correctly.

GD: What are people doing wrong when it comes to developing the coveted “6 pack abs”?

MG: Well Geo, I know this sounds funny to most people, but the MAIN thing that people are doing wrong to get those flat 6-pack abs is… are you ready for this?

They spend entirely too much time focusing on training their abs! WAY too much time spent on abs exercises. Sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Remember, having a flat and visible six pack of abs is all about getting down to a low body fat percentage. In order to do that, your workouts must focus on stimulating a fat burning hormonal environment in your body, and increasing your metabolic rate. That just does not happen when you focus too much time training a small muscle group like the abs.

Instead, you must use the majority of your time focusing on training the largest muscle groups of the body like the legs, back, and chest. That’s what stimulates your metabolism and the fat burning hormones that will get you truly lean and sporting a flat sixxer!

GD: Which exercises are the top exercises that people need to do if they are to get maximum defintion with their midsection?

MG: When it comes to developing the abs themselves, I again refer to any kinds of hanging abs exercises, as well as some good floor abs exercises like lying leg thrusts (all described and illustrated in my book).

However, maximum definition in the abs and midsection comes from losing bodyfat, and the most effective exercises featured in my program for that goal are various forms of swings and snatches (unique dumbbell or kettlebell exercises that almost nobody ever does in normal gyms), squats, deadlifts, lunges, step-ups, clean & presses, mountain climbers, sprinting, and other full body exercises and calisthenics. If you want great looking flat abs, focus on those instead of focusing so much on training the abs directly!

GD: When it comes to diet Mike, people really have tried millions of ways to get one thing… and that is fat loss. What recommendations have you used to successfully help your clients lose body fat and keep it off?

MG: I have included a fully comprehensive discussion of this topic in my book, which accounts for almost half of the book, but I’ll try to make some nice simple generalizations to get people started on the right path immediately. The most important thing is that your diet is as natural and unprocessed as possible. It almost always comes back to the overprocessing of food that makes it unhealthy, and makes it totally wreck your metabolism and hormone balance in your body.

For example, why eat refined grains, when you can eat whole grains (even better are sprouted grains, as I usually recommend limiting grain foods overall for best results).

Why eat refined sugar, when you can get natural sources of sugar from a high nutrient whole food like fruit. Why eat highly processed, refined, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (these are THE worst thing in the modern diet), when you can eat natural sources of healthy fats like nuts, avocados, fish, eggs, coconut milk, organically raised meat, and so forth.

The point is to not fall for some gimmick like extremely low carbs (although I do believe in a fairly reduced carb intake as that is a big problem for most people), low fat, super high protein, or any other combination that has you focusing on one macronutrient vs. another.

Your body needs all macronutrients to thrive and obtain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. Trying to cut an entire food group out just works against what your body needs. I get into much more detail on this vitally important topic towards losing body fat (especially that stubborn stomach fat) for life in my book.

GD: Thank you very much Mike for sharing with us all of this great information.

Loss Weight with The Replacement diet

Editor — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:00:44 +0000

So you have just made a decision that it’s time to lose some weight. The only problem is, your completely confused about where to start and just how to approach a better eating plan that will work with your daily schedule.

One of the biggest keys to losing weight successfully is eating a little less calories each day that your body normally requires. This approach may seem slow to begin with, but the results will be long lasting because it is easy to make the small changes a habit.

One of the biggest problems with most diet plans available is the large amount of change required. Some of the more popular plans out there require drastic changes to the way you eat daily.

This will not only create confusion, but it can be quite tiring with all the calorie counting or by denying yourself the foods you love. Usually quite soon, you drop the diet plan and your weight loss stops and starts to reverse itself into weight gain.

One way to start a new weight loss plan is to begin using the “replacement diet”. This diet takes many of the foods you currently eat and replaces them with foods that are comparable, yet healthier for you.

This will enable you to start losing weight without many of the struggles of changing to an entirely new lifestyle. Some of these key replacements include:

Soda Drinks - The average soda drink contains about 150 calories. Changing over to a calorie-free soda can add up to a difference in calories of about 1050 per week if you consumed one can per day. These numbers are larger for bigger bottles.

Breads - Try substituting your regular traditional style bread that contains around 70 to 75 calories a slice with lower carb tortillas or wraps. These types of bread usually have as little as 50 calories each.

This can be a difference of around 100 calories for a sandwich and also the fiber content of these breads are higher that will allow you to feel more full for longer.

Vegetables - Not all vegetables contain low calories. Carrots, corn and green beans especially, tend to have higher amounts of calories from their natural sugar content than other green vegetables. Switching to lower calorie green vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli can drop your calories a little more.

Eggs - Try leaving the yolk of an egg in the shell. The yolk contains by far the most calories of the entire egg. On the other hand, the egg whites contain only around 15 calories per egg. Try putting two egg whites in a low carb wrap and you have yourself a perfect snack that contains only 75 calories.

If you spend some time on it, you can find many places in your diet that can be modified slightly to lower the overall calorie count without sacrificing too much taste.

By approaching your diet from this viewpoint you can still eat all of the foods that you like, just in a slightly different way that makes weight loss that little bit easier. The more manageable you make your diet, the more able you are to stay on it for the long-term.

Gain Muscle & Lose Fat with TT Medicine Ball Workout 2

Editor — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:00:10 +0000

This particular Medicine Ball workout will focus more on strength by taking a number of exercises and pairing them together in superset fashion.

To start, you’ll begin with a series of lateral lunges and a diagonal chop and combine it with a unique pressing exercise.

For the lunges, bring the medicine ball up over your left shoulder, take a lateral lunge out, and chop down with the ball to your opposite foot, making sure to get nice and low. Do all repetitions for one side and then switch to the other side.

Immediately following all your repetitions for the diagonal lunges, get into the bottom squat position, and with the ball in one hand, press it up overhead. This exercise is similar to the stick-up exercise in that your arm isn’t going to have as much mobility as you want. Perform all repetitions for one side and then arms.

Once you’ve finished all the repetitions, take one minute to rest and then repeat the superset two more times.

Next, you will perform the one-legged squat. Place the medicine ball out in front of you, bringing one foot out as well. Now, squat down on one leg and then back up. Do all repetitions for one leg and then switch legs.

Immediately following the one-legged squat, you will then move into the elevated push up exercise. So, get into a push up position, but now, place one hand on the ball, and then perform a regular push up. Once you have done all repetitions for one arm, switch the ball to the other arm and repeat.

The next superset pairs one-leg hip extension with the McGill crunch.

For the one leg hip extension, you will lie flat on the ground with one foot on the ball and your other leg straight up in the air. Next, use your foot on the ball to bridge your body up. During this exercise you will find that your hamstring and glute of the leg that’s on the ball will be doing all of the work. Perform all repetitions for one side and then switch to the other side and repeat.

After you’ve completed all repetitions for the hip extension lay flat on the ground, bending one knee while bringing the medicine ball in outstretched arms, above your head. This isn’t a big movement as you’ll raise your shoulders just so that they come up off the ground, and then back down again. Try to really focus on squeezing your abs on the way up. Perform all repetitions for one side and then switch legs and repeat. Now, if you want to make this exercise even more difficult, then simply hold the top position for up to five seconds.

The last superset is optional, depending if you have equipment and a place to throw the ball into the ground.

First, you are going to take the medicine ball and using a strong throw, throw a chest pass into the ground. Be sure to bend the knees slightly and drive down.

Next, move immediately into inverted rows. So, set the bar at hip height, place your feet on the medicine ball and take an overhanded grip. Next, row your chest up to the bar and be sure to squeeze your shoulder blades.

To finish off the workout, you will perform a series of Burpees while using the medicine ball. So, do 10 burpees, rest for 30 seconds and then repeat three to six times. So to start, bring the ball overhead, then go down (place the ball on the ground), kick your legs out, do a push up, bring your legs back in (pick the ball up), and jump in the air, raising the ball overhead, repeat.

That’s it for the Medicine Ball workout.
