Isn’t There A Pill For That?

I hate to be the one complaining, but I don’t see the whole point in this getting up early and killing myself for an hour just to get into shape!  I mean if I had Erectile Dysfunction, nobody would say “run up steps until your heart pounds out of your chest”, they would just refer me to any one of the commercials with the guy wearing the acid trip smile and the woman who has the “oh s**t, here he comes again” look!  When a woman gets cramps, they have the stuff they peddle on TV where, even though her insides are about to jump out and she might at any moment grab and ax and get some “justice”, a tiny little pill keeps the world calm and happy.  But let me get a little pudgy and we have to break out all kinds of medieval torture devices to whip my fat butt in shape!

Why is there no pill for that?  I mean a real one that works, that can be doled out to everyone and would instantly get them into shape.  Of course you would have the 3 to 7 percent of the people who wouldn’t take it because they are happy being the way they are (I’m talking about the man at the beach wearing the size 54 Speedo with “JUICY” written across the butt, or the extra large woman in the grocery store wearing the spandex suit that can’t be stretched another centimeter, with high heels and lots of fake jewelry).  There would also be those that would some how be allergic to it.  But for the rest of us that want to be in shape tomorrow without all the strenuous activity today, there should be a magic pill!

I’ve done some research into this and came up with an answer as to why there isn’t such a pill.  Economics.  Think about it for a second, how many people would be out of work if there was such a pill?  Let’s look at it from the top down.  Every magazine would go under immediately because there would be no advertising.  If we all looked like the people in the ads, we wouldn’t need the crap they’re peddling to make us feel better about ourselves.  Hollywood would crumble because let’s face it, the majority of the actors and actresses we love really aren’t that good (I don’t mean you Salma baby, you are a true thespian treasure!). What about the guy that looks at me disapprovingly when I try to call it a day after a 10 minute workout?  Would the gym keep him on staff anymore?  I am sick of him holding me hostage in there until I do a proper workout,  YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!  and what about the kid who goes around putting the weights away for the idiot who isn’t aware of proper gym etiquette? (To said idiot, please wipe your sweat off of equipment when you’re through using it, I almost broke my ass bone sliding off of the oil slick you left on the weight bench.)

Bottom line is this, we’re not just helping yourself by working out, we’re keeping economies afloat with our never ending struggle to get and stay fit.  From the eight year old in China sewing my Nike’s together, to the perfect bodies on late night infomercials offering something that’s bound to wind up in a closet somewhere soon, everyone has a stake in the fitness game, so we need to move past the crying and wishing for something that isn’t coming and just exercise and eat right.  Even if there was a real pill to take, I wouldn’t, the world wouldn’t be as fun a place without the challenges, and I can’t bare to see Salma Hayeck unemployed.

OK, I’m done writing, turn off your computer and go do something, we’ve got bodies to build here, let’s build them.

How To Get Rid Of Arm Flab

[ Editor's Note:  Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]

Got arm flab?

Know someone who does?

Some women I know with a healthy sense of humor refer to it as “their wings” because their arm flab flaps when they walk or jog.

It’s time to get rid of your wings ladies…

… and guys, listen up:  You are not immune to arm flab. Even if your don’t have any, the tips I’m about to give will help you build stronger arms.

Before I go any further, I have to tell you about Marty Web.

Marty looked like … well, your typical 59-year-old housewife. Actually she looked a bit worse.

She was a good 80 pounds over her ideal bodyweight. And she had her wings…

… big time wings. Loads of arm flab.

That was at age 59.

At age 61… wow. Different story.

Marty transformed her body to such a degree that even I could have never guessed she was an OUNCE overweight!

Her story and 52 others just like her, male and female, are in my first book — and my best-seller Fit Over 40.

I’d like you to read more about it here –

http://www.fitover40.com/go/lenyrp1 <— cure for arm flab

Marty replaced her “wings” with toned, beautiful arms. And you can too.

She has two pages in Fit Over 40… too much to cover in an email… but here’s the basics to get you started:

1. You have to get your nutrition down pat. Most people think that the flab on their arms (or anywhere for that matter) can be solved by “turning it into muscle.”

This is not true folks. Fat does not turn into “anything”. It is used for energy. Period.

Muscle is muscle. Fat is fat.

You must use low-insulin nutrition like I recommend in all my books, including Fit Over 40, to lower your bodyfat. For ladies, the back-of-the-arm bodyfat is often the last bit to go.

But I promise — it will go. I can go for anyone. Marty Web and dozens of other ladies in Fit Over 40 prove that in living color… and they share how they did it.

Low-insulin nutrition means eating more protein-rich foods, foods that are not processed, and plenty of tasty veggies. But it does not mean you cannot have your pizza and burgers here and there. I do every week and my bodyfat is low.

2. You must train your triceps. The back of the arm is made of three muscles called the “triceps”. You have a long head, a medial head and a lateral head that form the triceps muscle group.

If you cannot access a gym, you can do plain-old pushups to work all three heads of the triceps. Here’s a few tips. First, if you cannot do a pushup with your legs straight, start by doing them on your knees. Work up to straight-legged pushups.

Second, do one third of your reps with your hands facing away from your body, one third with your hands facing toward your body (fingers pointing toward you) and the final third with your hands in the “normal” pushup position, facing the same direction as your body. This will work the various heads nicely.

If you have access to a gym, see the exercises for the triceps found in my book Fit Over 40:

http://www.fitover40.com/go/lenyrp1 <— say good-bye to arm flab

3. Finally, you have to have a role model. Find someone like Marty who has lost their wings and use their success to inspire you.

Put these three things together and you too will be “grounded” — wingless, but with a lovely pair of arms that never jiggle and look fantastic.

New Research: Fat Is Contagious?

[ Editor's Note:  Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]

It’s like a dream come true.

“Gaining bodyfat is the result  of a virus.”

Wouldn’t that be great news?

Well…

Let me tell you about the AD-36 adenovirus. Adenoviruses are the same nasty bugs that cause the common cold. We all have these viruses in various forms in our body all the time.

That last bit is a critical distinction.

Remember that.

The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana has been doing some really ground-breaking research on AD-36. AD-36 affects stem cells… more specifically fat cells, both pre-formed and post-formed.

This means AD-36 can make MORE fat cells if contracted as an infant and make your fat cells larger if contracted as an adult.

Or so the theory goes.

To quote the study:

“Earlier researchers have concluded that Ad-36 may be contributors to obesity by super-charging fat cells to grow and store more fat. Until now, though, those researchers thought the viruses targeted pre-fat cells (called pre-adipocytes), causing them to convert in higher numbers to fat cells and causing those fat cells to be larger. Those studies were in mice. Pasaricas work determines the virus targets stem cells in humans.”

The result?

“In one test, a third of obese people had the rare and highly contagious virus compared to just 11 percent of thinner people. Weight gain can last three months until the body has built up resistance to the bug.”

Wow. Sounds like we have a winner here. A virus that you can catch that literally makes you gain bodyfat!  All we need is…

a vaccine!

Right?

Wrong.

First of all, notice that 11% of LEAN people have AD-36. And at any given time, just like a cold or a flu virus, you could contract AD-36. If your body has ‘never’ been exposed to it, you may require about 3 months to build up antibodies to ward it off.

Now, you can gain a lot of weight in 3 months… but come on. You cannot become obese in three months unless you are really, REALLY working at it.

Plus, like most viruses, you build up immunity to AD-36. Researchers do not know how long the immunity lasts, but some theorize it could last years… some even decades.

And let’s not forget those 11% who are lean and have the virus.

Why did they not all of a sudden get “sick” with bodyfat?

Because they are not EATING or LIVING in a way that allows them to gain bodyfat no matter what nasty freakin’ viruses may be floating about, that’s why.

That’s right folks:  It is always going to come down to the food we put in our body and the way we move.

Here’s another hypothesis presented by Sherry Strong, food philosopher and nutritionist:  “This could very well be the result of nature creating a mutation to encourage us to eat more due to the fact our consumption of natural, whole and organic foods is so low.”

Brilliant observation… and one tha makes complete sense.

Even if a “virus” is responsible for 20% of our weightgain, what about the other 80%?

We do not need a vaccine other than good food and a common sense workout plan.

Here’s the best –

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/lenyrp1 <— the “vaccine” for bodyfat

Here’s why I love this workout:

1. It’s fast. 7-14 minutes 3-5 days per week. Anyone on earth can do this.

2. The Basic Upgrade (you will see it) still comes with a copy of my book “The Every Other Day Diet.” Put the two together and you have an absolute winner of a plan that’s practical and enjoyable.

3. Plus, anyone who owns “Every Other Day Diet” gets my upcoming “Radical Fatloss Blueprint” book freee. It comes out March 1st.

That’s 3 good reasons to go here and check out 7 Minute Muscle…

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/lenyrp1 <— the “vaccine” for bodyfat

Here’s one more:

You know better.

You know that there’s never going to be a magic pill for health, vitality, energy and looking your best.

We can keep hoping… or you can take action and get what you want now.

To me, that makes more sense than AD-36 “Super-Retro Fat-burning Vaccine” to hit the marketplace in 2021.

Man Boobs!

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”?

Obviously if you are female this is not an issue. But for us men, “gynecomastia“, 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 drive (you know what I’m talking about guys) and excess bellyfat due to the estrogen.

Even more serious:  Excess estrogen has been positively linked to prostate cancer.

Yep. MBs are not so funny after all.

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

Most do not work worth a darn.

Hers does.

Burn More Bodfyat With Spices

[ Editor's Note:  Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]

It’s the spice of life.

Food that is. Or opinions. I guess there is a lot of things that are officially “the spice of life.”

I think spices are the spice of life.

I have a new-found love of spices since hanging around a killer healthy-food chef for the past week.

Wow oh wow… I had no idea.

And hey — I’m helping her put her recipes into to a book that will be out soon.

I’ll send you all a video of this woman doing her thing too in a week or so… prepare to be blown away.

Back to spices:

Not only can spices save an otherwise boring healthy meal…. turns to find out spices can help you burn more bodyfat.

The January 2006 issue of The Journal of Physiology and Behavior cited numerous studies on several spices that increased thermogenesis in the body.

Thermogenesis is simply heat — and since a calorie is a unit of heat, guess what?

More thermogenesis = more calories burned

=

Less bodyfat.

Pretty cool stuff this thermogenesis.

In fact thermogenesis is the foundation of my upcoming handbook “The Radical Fatloss Blueprint.” Out in late February.

I’m giving this book away for freee for 21 days to anyone who owns a copy of “The Every Other Day Diet.”

The book comes out in late February… and it is… well, radical.

Up to 21 pounds in 21 days.

But you can only do it for 21 days. Fair deal, right?

If you want the book for freee, make sure you have “Every Other Day Diet” so I can send it to you the last week of February.

Get EODD here –

http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/go/lenyrp1 <— more thermogenesis, less bodyfat

For now, here’s the spices that work the best to help you burn bodyfat:

1. Capsaicin, the compound gives red chili pepper its heat, increased energy via heat expenditure by up to 23% after ingesting it at breakfast.

2. Black Pepper increases body heat (thermogenesis) by bonding to TRPV1 receptors in the brain.

3. Turmeric has both anti-cancer and pro-thermogenic support. Best of two worlds if you ask me.

Combine these three spices:  Red chili pepper, black pepper and turmeric, and use them liberally (as you can handle them) on your lunch and dinner meals.

Just be careful not to overdo the spices, otherwise you’ll end up with more heartburn than fatburn.

I’ll be including FAR more powerful ways to burn bodyfat radically in “The Radical Fatloss Blueprint” — and you can get your copy free the last week of February if you own Every Other Day Diet.

Losing Weight Fast

Other than physical appearance, weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, or physical incapabilities. There are a lot of advantages to losing weight, which is why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss program that will slim down those extra pounds and get a great, jaw-dropping body.

First of all, an overweight person should do is seek a health care expert to provide the best weight loss program for you. This will only be done after a complete physical examination, which then to the recommendation of a proprietary weight loss plan. To lose excess pounds fast and efficiently, four aspects of one’s life should be altered: what to eat, how to eat, behaviour and amount of exercise.

Below are some quick recommendations that can affect an over-weight persons’s life:

1: Fast weight loss consists of a multi-faceted technique that comprises mindset, exercise, and, in some cases, diet supplements. Begin by studying a food plan that can be easily incorporated into your lifestyle. Choose an exercise regimen that requires at least fifteen minutes a day brisk walking, running, swimming or dancing.

2: Set yourself achievable targets. The ability to focus and have a proper mindset allows someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. You must develop discipline and a proper outlook, a dieter will never become discouraged and give up.

3: Listen to your body. Each and everyone’s metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs. Try substituting one program for another to gauge the body’s reaction. The exercise program must be suited to your body, because some are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk, for this is proven to be the best exercise. Muscles burn calories so it’s also a good idea to put on a little more muscle and it looks good too.

4: Eat more fibre because it makes you feel fuller sooner and takes longer to digest, making it longer before you will be hungry again. For example, a couple of slices of whole grain bread will remain in the body longer and put off hunger longer than white bread, which turns in to sugar more quickly. giving you a quick, sugar spike, which soon dissipates, making you hungry again.

5: Stay away from fried food especially deep-fried, since it contains a lot of fat. However, although fish and chicken appear to be leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than beef when it is fried. It is recommended for those on a strict diet opt for grilled food since it does not contain much fat after the food is cooked.

6: Take lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body ‘flushed’ and since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, workout, and the correct amount of supplementation applied in a regular way everyday will result in a faster weight loss than having a massive action campaign that is only followed by a return to the bad old ways, since this would only lead to adding more weight than before the weight loss plan was started.

Losing Weight Fast

How to Reduce Fat Fast

If you would like to lose weight effectively, you need to burn the calories in your body more than what you intake into your body. Recommendation from most weight loss experts would suggest you to do that just by subtracting 5 hundred calories to your regular diet along with decreasing your food intake and accelerating your exercise. As proved, you can easily lose one or two pounds inside a week with this weight loss technique.

If you’d like to grasp it in mathematical terms, you simply control your calories from 1,050 to 1,200 daily in combination with exercising for sixty mins. This weight loss technique can also be applied to males and females who weigh 250 pounds or more and they can use this technique to easily lose three to 4 pounds a week.

Nonetheless, you must keep in mind that quicker weight reduction essentially will leads to fast weight gain if you stop the weight loss program curtly. Therefore , most males and females select to go for the slower but surer diet programs which promise a steadier and longer-lasting effect of weight loss.

For a start, you need to scale back your salt and starch intake into your body. It is a well-known fact that salt in the body will increase water retention. Therefore if you use this reduction of salt methodology, you may expect to simply lose 5 pounds in one week time.

Many weight loss gurus advise that if you are opting for diets to shed pounds fast, you must choose diets that contain less starch, sugars, and animal fat. Experts would also counsel you to select diets to lose weight fast like egg whites, fruits, and vegetables, soy products as replacement for meat, fish, nondairy products, skinless chicken, and lean beef.

How to Reduce Fat Fast

Burn Fat Fast with the Best Cardio Exercises

In order for cardio exercises to work, we need to understand how they work. A cardio exercise program allows the body to burn off fat. But we’ve always wondered what is the best cardio exercise that burns the most fat. Is it high intensity, or low?

Under a high intensity cardio exercise, glycogen will be burned. Glycogen is a sort of carbohydrates stored in the liver and muscle. The body uses carbohydrates for energy. On the other hand, low intensity exercise burns a lot of fat. This is scientific theory.

Unfortunately, researchers were not completely correct. To this day, there are more overweight people than ever though they exercise with low intensity. Why is it?

What scientists claimed about the impact of low intensity cardio exercises is true. These exercises, such as walking and swimming, are great fat-burners. But that does not mean high intensity exercises do not burn as much fat. They require a huge amount of energy from glycogen and fat.

But that’s not the end of it. When you run out of glycogen, the body will use carbohydrates from food to recharge the battery, rather than turn them into fat. That means exercises which burn glycogen will help prevent you from storing fat.

High impact cardio exercise increases your metabolism. Even after you’re done with your training session, your metabolism will continue to stay active. And you’ll still burn fat for many hours later.

On the other hand, low impact cardio exercises do not offer that metabolism benefit. So overall, high intensity workout probably burns more fat than low.

In order to utilize both low and high impact cardio exercises, we need to put them together in a routine. For example, walk for about 5 minutes, then power walk (almost jog) for the same amount of time.

Continue to rotate afterward until you’re finished. For the best cardio exercises, I recommend you do a continuous routine of 15 minutes or more. If you do not like walking, you can use a cardio exercise machine.

Burning fat is not everything cardio exercise can do. The best thing is that it keeps your energy level high.

For all newbies, be persistent and pace yourself, one step at a time. Be careful or you’ll get burned out! It is also important to track your progress to see how well you have been doing.
