Holiday Fat Loss:

The holidays are coming quick and it is always a hard time to remember to eat healthy and stick to your diet. I was recently at a event and at this time i remembered how important it is to have a plan with your eating habits as we enter the season of high fat and calorie foods. I always like reading the advise they give you in the health magazines its quite funny what they say sometimes. Many times the advise is just lack any substance, they do this because the writers of the magazine's don't want to make you think that you really need to change anything at all to succeed. They make it sound like losing excess stomach fat or even keeping your current figure though the holiday season is easy. Like, saying just park at the far end of all the parking lots so you can burn of the big holiday dinner you had there night before....Read More

Dietary Fats and Saturated Fats:

Let me start off by saying that this article will help you more if you have an open mind and you openly accept that some of these facts are a slap in the face to traditinal nutrition thinking and many doctores and "health" experts. To start off, eating a sinsable amount of healthy dietary fats is vital to your overall health. Fats make up a big part of your cell membrains thoughout your entire body. If you eat a healthy amount of natural fats, your cells will continue to process correctly. However, if you eat a lot of processed fats "man made" that are also heavily chemically alterend, like in processed foods your cellular function will start to become impaired as these unhealthy fats become part of your cell membrains. Result, your body will need to work harder to fuction correctly, witch will also increase your risk of degenerative diseases. In addition to the above, healthy dietary fats are nessecary for optimal hormone production and fuctions in the body and therefore essential for the muscle building and fat burning processes.  Other important functions that dietary fats play in a healthy body are aiding vitamin and mineral utilization, enzyme regulation, energy, etc.......Read More

Good Carbs Vs. Bad Carbs:

In recent years, there has been controversy and confusion on "carbs" of all kinds. I would like to give some input and hopefully clear up what might be puzzling you, here is some information on good carbs vs bad carbs. Over consuming processed carbohydrates like pasta, rice, cereals, crackers, muffins, bagels, candies, breads (even whole grain), juices, and sodas make it very difficult to lose body fat and it then becomes a struggle, even if you are one to workout very hard. Did you know that by consuming these carbohydrates, your blood sugar can go wild and the insulin in the body surges and can promote direct body fat deposition? Did you know that cravings and appetites increase if too many carbs are consumed? Some carbohydrates sources that are thought to be healthy by many consumers, just add calories and not a whole lot of nutrients. These sources include many cereals and breads, which mislead the consumer by smart marketing, by pretending to be "whole grain" when the first ingredient is actually refined flour.................Read More

Post-Workout Nutrition:

As you probably have heard before, many people believe that what you choose to eat right after your workout may be the most important meal of the day, and for good reason. The reason for this, is because after a high intensity workout or exercising session your body enters what is called a catabolic state witch is your muscle glycogen is being depleted and increased cortisol levels are beginning to excessively break down muscle tissue. This is not good for the body, and the only way to fix this (and promote an anabolic state) is to consume a quickly digestible post-workout meal (a shake or smoothie) as soon as possible after training.The goal is to eat a meal with quickly digestible carbs to replenish muscle glycogen as well as quickly digestible protein to provide the amino acids needed to jump start muscular repair. The amount of carbs and amino acids from the post workout meal promotes a insulin spike from the pancreas, then moves all the nutrients into the muscle cells....Read More
