Ok, if you're really motivated for a better looking you and can't wait to start training and you really want a step by step instructions fed right to your mouth. Well, try this guy's course.

His name is Kyle Leon. He's featured in cover photo of a few fitness magazines. Not that it matters but he mentioned a very important element during his introduction of his program and that is precise diet and nutrition. These are, like I've mentioned make or break your "whatever plans you have in mind" Be it building muscles, losing fats or just shaping up. I know some personal trainers don't even tell their clients these. Some will just tell you to "eat right" !

It contains very useful info not just on muscle building but you can learn the diet planning and loads of info on foods to kickstart your plans. To have a copy of this course, click here !

This little investment should be worth your while , although you could get it free with many hours of research and months & months of testing it on your training to see what works and whats fad. I wanna remind you again that this is no miracle program as there is none. The human body build lean muscles slowly and never in a few days. If any program gives you these promises that seems to good to be true, it usually is !

Ok Ok enough talking already. Go check it out and if you're making the investment, make it worth your while and learn much from it. These information shall be beneficial even to your kids (U.S had a ratio of 1 obese kid of every 3 ! scary!) . I too preach wise food choices and right training method to my own child .

Breaking My Own Limits !

2012-11-02T09:19:00.003-07:00

Hi all, been busy for a while trying to break my own plateau ! Like I mentioned in all previous post , your mind's your limit ! You want bigger arms ? You want big chest that look like armour plates ? Or you just simply wanna fit into a dress 2-3 size down ?

I have only 1 answer for you ! That's start working for it ! Stop your silly excuses RIGHT NOW !

A story on the picture of my arm posted here :

I was stuck with a 18" bicep for quite a while now. So I decided to change my training plan and diet a little and voila ! After a 5-6 months time, 18.5" biceps (Flexed).

Hope this motivates you a little !

Set Mini Goals !

2012-11-02T09:00:00.000-07:00

Start slow if you haven't been exercising for a long time. Do simple exercises like push-up, crunches, slow walking etc. Or maybe leg-raise while watching TV. If you could do only 5 push-ups, 10 crunches, 15 minutes walk/jog today or 5 seconds in leg raise , no fret.

Do it daily and by next week, tell yourself that you shall complete 6-7 push-ups, 15 crunches, 20 minutes walk/jog & 8-10secs leg raise. When you reach these targets, increase them again. By then, you know you are heading somewhere right ?

Same plan here if you're hitting the gym. Set mini goals and reach them gradually.

Also set weight loss goals gradually, target at maybe 300-500gm per week sounds easy.

If its motivating you already and you can't wait to start somewhere, try this program I've found by Kyle Leon. Great precise planning right from the start ! A small investment with BIG returns !

For all you trying to lose fats, gain weight or muscles, remember that sufficient sleep is ONE MAJOR FACTOR in all your routine so please try your best to keep a healthy daily routine. Trust me, it helps.

Muscles & Losing Weight ! The Connection.

2010-11-01T12:46:00.001-07:00

Have you ever wonder why has muscle building always link itself with losing weight & fighting fats ?

Imagine our body is a car, the more muscle density you have meant a bigger, more powerful car. Fuel is food.
More energy is needed if you have higher muscle mass just like more fuel consumed in a bigger car.
The food you eat will less likely be stored as fats as it is being used to sustain those muscles. And you are more likely to lose fats this way.

Our body is programmed to stored fats as fuel for our body. This is our natural defence mechanism. Muscle are hard to retain as our body tends to break it down as fuel for our daily activities. In fact, our body does not want muscle, it wants fats, making fat loss difficult.

So the less muscle mass you have, the more likely food will be stored as fats. And the more muscles you’ve got, things becomes otherwise. And losing weight & keeping it off becomes a breeze.

CLICK PICTURE !

I’m not suggesting you start doing bodybuilding and build a 20” biceps NO ! But do know the importance of resistance workout to put on some muscle mass ! This could move your weight loss program to a new level !

The Truth About Diet Pills

2010-10-18T12:14:00.000-07:00

I know some people out there is looking for an answer to this all time hot subject. Does it work ? Will it really slim me down with 2 pills a day & I could continue eating as usual ? Will I really lose weight with it ?

The answer is.........NO!! Read the fine prints ! It says by following a healthy diet plan & proper exercise regime!

We always wanted to see the miraculous claims they stated on the front "Lose 10lbs in 1 week" or "Drop a stone in 14 days" But have you turn the box and read the fine prints? It says to follow a healthy diet plan and "results may vary" !

This stuffs does has its effects and it can give you a very minimal edge in your quest to lose fats. But only at a very minimal rate.

So should I pop these pills ? My answer is YES ! If you can afford them, just to have that slight advantage but never treating it as a miracle pill. Remember I posted that losing weight is "simple maths" ?

Just follow your diet & workout as planned and take these pills as prescribed in the labels , not overdoing it. There are different kind of diet pills : Appetite Suppressants , Fat Burners , Fat Blockers , Carb Blockers , Ephedra Diet Pills , Stimulant-Free Diet Pills , Diuretic Diet Pills etc. Just read up on them before deciding which kind should you consume & also get doctor's advice.

Good Luck !

Start Slow To Succeed !

2010-10-07T04:00:00.000-07:00

The key is to slowly change & adapt to your new healthier lifestyle while losing weight happen naturally. Not starve yourself silly, lose 5kg within 10days & totally compromise your health. Anyway, you will definitely gain it back & become fatter than before. This is very natural. This is how your body works (this is too tedious to write up)

Cut calories intake by 200 max 300 a day. Weigh yourself in once a week. Be positive & stay that way. Never mind what people tells you, "no way you're gonna succeed" , "why should you lose weight ? you are what you are". These people are negative or they are equally as huge. And if you succeed, they'll stay huge alone.

Benefits of eating less

2010-10-04T11:35:00.000-07:00

On previous post, I mentioned on eating smaller portions. I'm gonna list out the benefits that follows:

After some time, your stomach gets smaller. You will then eat much lesser to feel full. This will help maintain weight in the long term.
You feel be more focus & energetic for the whole day when you eat lesser. Notice why the zoo never feed the animals a large portion ? It makes the animal full & feel lethargic which will make it going back to sleep off the heavy meal. And visitors had nothing to see except sleeping animals. Humans have the same effect. Notice that you feel sleepy in office after a heavy lunch?
You can eat more meals now (balanced small meals please) ! And still eat below the required calories.

A Sure Technique To Start Eating Lesser.

2010-10-02T14:02:00.000-07:00

Here's a little tip to cut calorie intake. Give a little more time than usual to chew on your food before swallowing. Take longer time to finish your meal, eat slowly. Before you know it, you would have started to feel fullness even before you finishes the food.

Your mind is actually sending signals of feeling full , Try it with a 20% less serving and take more time to finish it. You feel full & yet less food was consumed.

Another way is to include more veges in your meal as it takes more time to chew on veges . And it provides you with much needed extra fiber & natural antioxidant for overall health.

Just make sure you have a balance diet that include portion of protein, carbs, fiber, healthy oil & variety.

The key is to eat slow, it helps in easy digestion too as your food is broken down finer as you chew on it longer. 1 big tip to keep a healthy digestive system too !

Do Not Starve Or Skip Meals. It Make Things Worse !

2010-10-01T12:02:00.000-07:00

3 Super Reasons You Should Never Starve Or Skip Meal !

You skipped a meal , and when you stepped on your scale later in the evening, it does shows you lost a couple hundred grams !

You are sending signals to your body to store more fats, in case hunger strikes again just like today , when you skipped a meal.
You didn't lose fats, you probably just lost some water weight or worse still, muscle mass.
You are on your way to more stomach & digestive problem which can be very serious to overall health.

Don't Complicate Things

2010-09-29T23:55:00.001-07:00

Losing weight is actually simple math. Our body burns away 1500 - 2000 calories a day . Consume less than what your body needs and you start burning away extra energy your body stored as "fats".

3500 calories equates to 1 pound body fat. If you consume 2300 calories/day & your body needs only 2000, you'll gain a pound in about 12days or a kilo in about a month with a sedentary life (eat,shit,sleep lifestyle)

1st Tip To Help You Eat A Lot Lesser

2010-09-29T11:45:00.000-07:00

Drink Water !

Drink a full glass of water before you start every single meal and another full glass of water in between. This will make you feel fuller faster even before you finishes everything on the plate. Only water , not colas , not tea , not coffee , soft drinks etc, just plain old water. This is the other man's best friend , other than our canine pals.

And leave those unfinished food on the dishes. Don't force yourself to finish it.

Food & Information Labels

2009-07-27T12:03:00.000-07:00

Understand the food that your putting into your mouth. Start reading food labels , understand how much protein, fibre, carbs, fats, calories you're consuming . Don't ever eat till you're full ! If you're feeling full, your overeating !! Quit most fizzy canned drinks, in fact quit all if you can help it. Drink lots of plain old WATER !! Lots of it !!

Choose your food wisely. Eating vegetables and tofu whole day doesn't mean your healthy ! Our body is not meant to be a herbivore ! We need meat(Protein) for most of our bodily functions such as muscle repair, hair and nail growth, Carbohydrates(complex) for energy and vegetables for nutrients and fiber(colon health) and healthy oils.

So how much food is enough ? I shall give you a estimated basic daily doses of food.

Normal folks : 0.5gm protein per pound body weight, 25gm fiber, carbohydrates from complex carbs, good oils(eg olive oil, rice bran oil), women about 1500calories , men about 2000 calories depending on lifestyle.

Folks trying to build mass(Muscles) : min 1gm protein per pound body weight, increase carbohydrate intake, around 3000 calories depending on body types and training intensity.

2009-06-04T12:36:00.000-07:00
