3 Steps to Create a Weight Loss Machine

If you are like me when I started trying to lose weight and you are wondering where to start in the weight loss journey then you are not alone. Today we are going to create a weight loss machine that will start burning calories that will strip the pounds off with ease. We are going to make it uber simple for you to create your own weight loss machine that can be fed as quickly or as slowly as you would like. Please check out these 3 simple steps to start your weight loss journey.  

1. Nutrition
Nutrition is the single greatest step to create a weight loss machine because if you have no fuel for the machine then the machine is pointless and can't run. I have recently delved into the Mediterranean Diet because it is lower in salt and my body needs to consume a lot less sodium in my day. The Mediterranean Diet focuses on protein from leaner options like fish, turkey, protein shakes and plants in order to build the muscle and burn the fat. The first thing to do is figure out which body type you are because you will need a specialized diet for your body type. (CLICK HERE for a FREE body type calculator!) The next thing is to go to Google and type in your body type, mine is endomorph, and type in the words, 'best diets,' and Google will give you options for the diets that work best for your body type. 

2. Workout
The workout is the next step in importance for weight loss because there has to be a way for your body to get rid of the extra weight and fat. We will be fueling the body with your fat and it is possible to build muscle while losing weight, contrary to popular opinion. You need to know your body type and go to Google and type in your body type and then type in, 'best workouts,' and Google will give you options for your body type. Again, I am an endomorph. This means that I have a large frame that burns body fat and builds muscle quickly. I have to workout really hard to get the machine going. This means that I have to build muscle with calisthenics or weightlifting or work on HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) to whip my body into shape. Once you know your workout you should research the frequency of how many times per week you're supposed to workout. The more muscle you have the quicker you burn through the fat layers

3. Sleep
The last step after the nutrition and workout is SLEEP. You MUST sleep in order to allow your body to repair itself. Most people will require about 8 hours of sleep. Some people need more. I had to adjust my schedule and my body had to get used to sleeping more than the 4-6 hours of sleep that I got per night. When you sleep and dream, you are having REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep that is some of the deepest restorative and repairing sleep that you can have. You will know that you have the REM sleep because you will wake up rested and you will enjoy dreams in this state of sleep. Make sure that you have enough support behind your head and upper body to make sure that your body is fully oxygenated when you are asleep. Sleep is so important that the other steps will fall flat if you don't sleep enough. 

I really hope that you implement these three easy steps to create a weight loss machine that will burn fat off quicker than you think. I have used Gemini AI to help track my food that I ate, frequency of my workouts and how much I slept. Whatever information you put into Gemini, the AI gets better and will help you track your weight loss. If you get hurt or have a cheat day you shouldn't have, Gemini will help you get back on track. You can get your weight loss journey started by following these 3 steps to create a weight loss machine that you will be proud of! Share this blog post with your friends and family!

Secrets to Busting the Weight Loss Plateau

Have you ever been doing a diet and losing weight like crazy, and suddenly your weight loss grinds to a halt and it leaves you questioning whether you're doing weight loss wrong? I think that everyone that has seriously tried and attempted to lose weight has come across this same problem and a grand majority don't know what to do about it. When your body halts to a stop when you're doing everything right that you have always done to lose weight, what are you supposed to do? Today we are going to discuss and talk about the secrets to busting the weight loss plateau! Let's get started!

1. Efficiency: What happens to your body when you start losing weight and getting into a routine that makes your body shrug it off like its nothing? What happens is that your body is working more efficiently and you will need to adjust your body to do more working out and using more energy than the energy that you get from your food. When you use the energy of the body, your body will start to make more because all of the energy was expended. 

2. Nutrition: Increases in protein and fiber need to happen more often than not because protein and fiber will keep you satiated and will keep you feeling full for longer amounts of time. If you're wanting to lose weight, then you need to increase your muscle mass. Muscle is what burns your extra fat. This is why you see these really obese people working out and suddenly they shed huge amounts of weight. Supplementing with protein shakes and doing weightlifting or HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is how to kick your body into using more fat for energy and busting the weight loss plateau.  

3. Hydration: Believe it or not, your body will hold onto more water and suck up as much as it can handle if you are depriving yourself of water and are not hydrating like you should be. Hydration will help your body let go of water weight and shed a lot of extra weight that you didn't know that you had to shed. If your body is 75% water, then guess how much water it takes to continually keep your body running at peak performance. A LOT! Drink enough water and it will boost your energy as well.  

4. Calories: You wouldn't believe how many calories the average obese person drinks in a day from sugary coffee, soda, teas and alcohol. The average obese person drinks 450-900+ calories per day and you could cut these to almost under 100 if you drink flavored sparkling waters like Waterloo or Bubly because they still give you the same fizz without the sugary calories. I love San Pelegrino with some lemon in it as it keeps my kidney stones from forming new ones while breaking down the ones that are already there. The average obese person eats 2,500-4,500 calories per day. If it takes a caloric deficit of 3,500 calories in order to burn 1 pound of fat, then you must find ways of cutting calories in order to safely lose 1-3 pounds of fat per week. 

5. Cheat: Having a cheat day to eat and drink a couple of foods and drinks that you normally wouldn't drink or eat on your diet can help with busting the weight loss plateau because it helps your body enjoy good hormones from rewarding yourself for being on your diet. Remember to keep a hold on the cheat day so that it doesn't spiral into an out-of-control binging day. I have experienced that I have the will and power to keep going in my diet if I give myself a cheat day every other week to break up the monotony. 

Implementing these secrets to busting the weight loss plateau will have you plunging right back into your weight loss and diet with greater passion and fervor. I have hit so many plateaus in my weight loss journey over the years and its generally a good thing that you have hit a plateau. It means that your body has adapted enough to the current conditions and minor adjustments get you back on track. Please share this with a friend or family member that you know needs help busting the weight loss plateau!

Biggest Fat Burners for Boosting Weight Loss

If you're anything like me, you look to burn fat quicker so that you don't have to deal with the troublesome extra weight on your body. We will unpack some of the biggest fat burners for boosting your weight loss as we look to fast track your weight loss. If you're feeling like your weight loss is in a lull and you need to kick it up a notch, then read through these fat burners. Let's dive into the deep end of fat burners so you can implement them and burn for fat!

1. Natural Extracts
Yohimbe and Forskolin are natural extracts that you can supplement for weight loss that block the receptors that hold onto fat in the body. This allows your body to let go of the fat that it would normally store in order to keep you alive in the event of starvation. These natural extracts stimulate cellular energy and fat breakdown easier than just letting your body do it by itself.


2. Metabolic Boosters
The biggest metabolic booster that boosts your weight loss is L-Carnitine. Supplementation of this wonderful compound allows your body to burn more fat and it is created in smaller amounts in the liver and kidneys. There must be an energy deficit in order for your body to utilize fat storages as energy with the L-Carnitine. This is by no means a magic pill, but can be a great utilization of your fat stores if you workout with cardio or get your heart rate up for an extended amount of time.

3. Thermogenics
Thermogenics is probably my favorite and it probably the biggest fat burner for boosting your weight loss because it lights the furnace fire of your body in order to burn more fat. Caffeine is the first thermogenic that causes your body to run faster and hotter by suppressing the melatonin receptors in your brain and body. Green tea catechins allow your body to burn fat whether you're working out or not. Capsaicin in peppers allow your body to suppress appetite as well as burn more fat as your body will run warmer than usual. Please consult your doctor before implementing these as they really amp up your body to burn more fat.

Now that we know how to boost our weight loss with these biggest fat burners its time to implement them into your life and take action. If you can choose 2 or maybe all 3 of these, you will see the fat start to peel off quicker, even if you haven't been losing that much weight. These fat burners are sure to kick your weight loss into high gear and elite status. Please share this with your friends and family as they will benefit from knowing these as well!

3 Secrets to Naturally Boosting GLP-1 with Your Diet

If you're like me, then you want to avoid having to take medications altogether if you can help it. I would like to suggest that you consult your doctor if you are considering quitting your GLP-1 medication as it can be dangerous to do so without your doctor's help. Please do your own research. I have done my own research and haven't started taking GLP-1 because your body can and will produce enough GLP-1 without needing medication help, but you really need to see these three secrets and implement them in your life for maximizing your weight loss! Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 is produced in your body by L-cells in your gut in larger amounts when you implement these three secrets. Let's jump in!

1. Cultivate the Right Gut Bacteria
If you have the right gut microbiome then your T-cells will continue to release the GLP-1 for quite a while after you have consumed your food. You must feed the Short Chain Fatty Acids (butyrate, acetate and propionate) that are the waste products that your gut creates when the microbiome is fed by fiber. Feed your gut prebiotics that come from chicory root, garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, and slightly green bananas give you resistant starches. To diversify your gut microbiome, introduce probiotic foods in the form of fermented foods like unpasteurized sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, foccacia bread and sourdough bread. By cultivating the right gut microbiome, the SCFA's will have food to feed off of and create GLP-1 for extended amounts of time.

2. Avoid Foods that Shut Off GLP-1 Production
There are lots of foods that shut off the production of GLP-1. These foods are ultra-processed and refined sugar foods. High sugar, low fiber foods cause rapid spikes in insulin and blood sugar levels, which can actually desensitize your gut's hormone signaling over time. All of these refined candy, ice cream, soda, ultra-processed frozen meals and juices with hidden sugars are all foods that turn off your GLP-1 production in the gut. Excessive saturated fats like ones that are found in fast food and deep fat fried foods are foods to avoid entirely. Stick to those healthy fats that are found in olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds and legumes.

3. Support with Key Micronutrients
Berberine has often referred to cross-sectionally as, "nature's Ozempic" because there have been clinical studies showing that this plant stimulates GLP-1 secretion in the gut and it improves inulin sensitivity. Additionally, curcumin (from turmeric) has research that backs claims that it can also improve GLP-1 secretion in the gut and help decrease systemic inflammation, which protects your metabolic pathways. Polyphenols, the dark, antioxidant-rich foods like green tea (EGCG), extra virgin olive oil, cocoa, and dark berries stimulate the bitter taste receptors in your gut, which surprisingly triggers a release of GLP-1.

Now that we have seen the secrets to naturally boosting GLP-1 with your diet, I would like to mention that the Mediterranean Diet is excellent for keeping the GLP-1 on track. This diet's framework naturally aligns perfectly with GLP-1 optimization because it focuses heavily on olive oil, legumes, lean seafood, and high-fiber vegetables while eliminating highly processed foods. Strategic meal sequencing helps when you eat your protein and high-fiber vegetables first, saving refined carbohydrates for the end of the meal. Flooding the gut with protein and fiber early triggers the GLP-1 release sooner, dampening your appetite before you overconsume carbs. Mindful, slower eating naturally gives GLP-1 time to peak. Studies show that taking 20 to 30 minutes to finish a meal results in significantly higher GLP-1 secretion compared to rushing through a meal in 5 minutes.

Please share this blog post with anyone that you know that is taking GLP-1 medications as it could help them get ack on track with their diet and it could help improve their weight loss results over time.

7 Natural Remedies for Crushing Diabetes

We all know those commercials from those wonderful people that talk about diabetes. The problem with the world that we live in is that when it comes to problems like diabetes, doctors would rather put a band-aid on it and keep you on expensive synthetic drugs that are horrible for your body and keep you dependent on those drugs for the rest of your life. I was diagnosed with being pre-diabetic and I improved my numbers for blood sugar and helping my body digest sugars and lessen insulin resistance. Today we are going to discus what we can do to improve our blood sugar numbers and get out of diabetic range naturally instead of the synthetic garbage that doctors like to push on us. Here are 7 natural remedies for crushing diabetes!

1. Cinnamon
Cinnamon was the best thing that I could have done for my per-diabetic state and I found a tea that was absolutely delightful. Cinnamon helps lower blood sugar naturally and it just tastes wonderful. 

2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a wonderful supplement that is a natural superfood that is widely recognized as being a miracle supplement that helps lower blood sugar. I generally added about a cup of water with some Splenda to make it a bit more bearable to drink. You want the good Braggs vinegar that as the mother with it. The mother is the good stuff that helps your gut bacteria.

3. Carnivore Diet
I have grown to love this diet, and it is my favorite diet as it is low carbs to no carbs and is very low impact on the glycemic index. Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson helped me with this diet as some people have such great food aversions that they can't eat anything, but meat. Look at history and the cave men that used to hunt for a living for their food. They ate meat for the grand majority of the time and they were muscular and were fit. 

4. Milk Thistle
Milk thistle is one of those supplements that was a miracle that helped my blood sugar drop really quickly. It has helped countless people to lower their blood sugar and make it out of the diabetic range. This is a must for diabetic patients.

5. Drink Water
Drinking water helps your body work more efficiently. When your body is more efficient, it helps lower blood sugar because your body doesn't have to work so hard to burn sugar.

6. Walking 
I went on a thirty minute walk, once a day, for three times per week to help my body burn off every form of sugar in my body. If you can manage a brisk walk, then it burns more sugar out of your body. You really want to do this to help with blood sugar.

7. Get More Sleep
I used magnesium to sleep better and get more and better quality of sleep. By getting sleep, you lower your cortisol levels and your blood sugar will come down when this happens. Take a rest and make sure you're sleeping at least seven hours per day.

I hope that you have enjoyed this blog post about how to help your pre-diabetes and diabetes in your own bodies. These are all natural remedies that will help cure your body of diabetes naturally without all of the synthetic garbage that the bigger pharmaceutical companies try to push on us. Please subscribe to this blog for more blog posts on health and weight loss and share with your family and friends to help them as well. Below is a list of the supplements that I used while trying to get out of my pre-diabetic range.

Capsaicin, Weight Loss WONDER?

Have you ever eaten something spicy and then had heartburn afterwards? This is because the capsaicin that is found in peppers helps boost metabolism, curbs appetite and help your body burn fat. Recently I have found a combination that is a weight loss WONDER combination and you aren’t going to believe what the combination is! Turn the heat up on capsaicin and let’s get cooking! 

1. Capsaicin 

Capsaicin is the first part of the combination in this weight loss wonder. Capsaicin is in varying amounts in peppers that you can eat. Generally the more capsaicin, the spicier a peppery food is. Capsaicin helps reduce the intake of calories by speeding up the transport of food. We have two kinds of fat cells in our body, white fat that your body stores for another day to keep from starving and brown fat that the body uses as energy. Capsaicin helps the white fat act like brown fat in the body. 

2. Yogurt 

I have been eating yogurt by the large tub in conjunction with Tabasco green hot sauce in my mashed potatoes. The yogurt has billions of good probiotics that promote good gut and stomach health. If you get Greek yogurt it’s all the better on the diet. While I definitely don’t eat the Tabasco green hot sauce and yogurt together, I eat them in the same day. My body has felt more energetic and I have kept losing weight and maintaining the weight loss. 

3. How much capsaicin should I eat? 

I splash my green Tabasco hot sauce quite a few times in my two-three cups of mashed potatoes. 2.6 mg of capsaicin every 36-144 hours can help you CURB THE WEIGHT LOSS PLATEAU. I use about 1/4 of the bottle of Tabasco in my potatoes every day and it has been greatly boosting my weight loss naturally. 

4. How much yogurt should I eat? 

This one is personal preference although I shoot for around 1-3 cups of yogurt in a day. I eat the smooth strawberry Yoplait yogurt for a dessert and it’s addictive in flavor. Greek yogurt is a great lower sugar alternative for dieting and weight loss. Yogurt probiotic is great for gut biome support. 

I do hope that you have learned something about weight loss and a food combination that you can embrace and use in your own life. Peppers that have capsaicin and yogurt that has probiotics can and do boost weight loss. Plateaus will be a thing of the past if you use this combination in your own life. Get to eating that spicy food and you will build a spicy tolerance and you will have no regrets! 

(I am not a licensed doctor and all liability rests on the reader’s shoulders to research. Please research and talk to your doctor about the benefits of capsaicin!)

I have tried supplementing L-Carnitine and would suggest that you consult your doctor about supplementing it in your own life. Greater blood flow and more efficiency in your body can require that your body burn more calories to run. L-Carnitine is a great supplement to help your weight loss.

5. Sleep 1 Hour Longer
Sleeping 1 hour longer is a great secret for blasting through your weight loss plateau. The more you sleep the more you burn and the more weight you lose.

Keto Diet, the Best Weight Loss Diet?

There has been a lot of speculation about the Keto Diet and if it’s the best diet for weight loss. I think that it’s been up in the rankings due to the fact that a lot of obese people find benefits to the Keto Diet. I would love to discuss with you today on a few reasons why I think that the Keto Diet is the best diet to do when you need to lose weight. 

1. Ketones Help Burn Fat

Ketones are a great way to burn fat and it is in fact one of the best and most efficient ways of burning fat. All you have to do is get your body into ketosis. Ketosis is when your body Burns the fat for energy instead of sugar that is found in the body. 

2. Fat Burns Just About 24/7 

There are small windows where less fat is burned in your day because when you break the fast (breakfast), or you eat to big of a lunch or dinner you can break your ketosis, and fat burn can come to a very slow burn. 

3. Eating is Relatively Easy 

Eating is relatively easy once you get the hang of it. It’s essentially 1/3 of your Keto Diet being fats and fatty foods, 1/3 of your Keto Diet being protein foods, and 1/3 of your Keto Diet being fiber rich foods that are little to no sugar. If you can keep the sugar and sodium to a low, then you can get into ketosis and stay there for quite a while. 

4. Lots of Great Resources 

I have found a lot of great resources for the Keto Diet that will aid you in your weight loss. You can give the Keto Diet a shot and use these resources. 

Thomas Delauer is a great YouTube resource that I have loved using in my Keto Diet endeavors. Click on Thomas Delauer for his YouTube channel’s resource for the Keto Diet ultimate guide!

Drinking Soda Makes You So Blah...Kick the Habit NOW!

You didn't think your soda addiction was that terrible, yet then you discovered that each one of those additional calories could be the reason you're putting on weight. What's even more worse is that drinking soda expands your danger of diabetes, and it builds the midsection fat that can cause coronary illness and certain sorts of tumors, including stomach, pancreatic, and colon. Yowser! Lose weight and fat now to beat obesity.

Click Here to join us for the 2 Week Diet!

In case you're prepared to stop your soda addiction for good, I have mapped out a three-week intend to enable you to arrive. Here is a thought to get you motivated to stop. It's uncommon to discover one single dietary change that can affect your waistline as essentially as wiping out soda. That's on the grounds that a 12-ounce container of soda contains around 140 calories. On the off chance that somebody drinks two bottles of normal soda every day and does a change to seltzer or water, that individual will expend more than 102,200 less calories through the span of a year — that is the possibility to lose right around 30 pounds — with only one change.

Dumping soda isn't easy. Since it contains so much sugar, you need to break the sugar dependence that props you up back for additional soda and keeps you coming back for more. Here's the way to get out from under the addiction and get more advantageous in under three weeks.

This is a modular window.The media couldn't be stacked, either on the grounds that the server or system fizzled or on the grounds that the configuration isn't upheld.

Do This Before Getting Started 

Take two or three days to recognize these three things:

-What you genuinely adore about pop

-When you normally appreciate it most

-Some unsweetened beverages that you truly appreciate

This is extremely vital. Do you drink soda as a stimulating beverage rather than espresso? Do you cherish how a sweet soda tastes rather than an exquisite dinner? Is everything about the fizzy air pockets? Completes an evening, soda brings you through the 3 p.m. droop? Making sense of this will enable you to discover sensible substitutions and sound options.

Week 1: Reduce Frequency 

Click Here to join us for the 2 Week Diet!
Weaning yourself off soda steadily may enable you to succeed. Begin by diminishing the quantity of servings you have every day. If you're an a few can-a-day soda consumer, bring that down to one can a day. In the event that you have one can a day, drink a can each other day. I recommend keeping a diary to screen how you're feeling, particularly on the off chance that you regularly drink a caffeine-containing pop. Cerebral pains are normal when decreasing caffeine utilization.

Week 2: Retrain Your Taste Buds 

In the second week, you'll be down to one serving for every day or each other day. Weaken that presenting with plain seltzer. This will influence you to feel like you're drinking soda however will help your taste buds adjust and figure out how to appreciate refreshments that aren't as sweet.

Week 3: Stop Drinking Soda 

Arrangement is key this week for your success. Stock your home and office with your most loved unsweetened beverages. In case you're somebody who more often than not appreciates a soda with your dinner, make certain your suppers contain a blend of sweet and appetizing flavors that will fulfill your want for differentiating flavors. For instance, top your serving of mixed greens with dried organic product or add diced cut apple to your turkey sandwich.

Here are some drink thoughts that aren't plain water. Regardless of whether you're searching for an air pocket fix or a remark your sweet tooth, these more beneficial decisions will help make the change far from soda additionally energizing:

-Infused water: Orange or grapefruit cuts in your water are invigorating, yet shouldn't something be said about strawberries and mint, or rosemary and lemon. Putting foods grown from the ground in your water will give you the flavor kick you crave.

-Seasoned seltzer water: My most loved brand is Polar on the grounds that they have the greatest assortment of flavors and as I would see it, the most grounded flavors."

-Kombucha: It's marginally carbonated on account of the aging procedure, so it will fulfill that bubbly desiring

-Club soda or plain seltzer with a sprinkle of 100 percent juice and a lemon or lime

-Frosted home grown tea: There are some fun, tasty natural teas available. Two of the sweetest (yet unsweetened) and most delicious teas I've found are Celestial Seasonings Zinger line of natural teas. Their Sangria Zinger (made frosted!) tastes simply like fruit punch.

-Espresso, dark, chai, or green tea: These are extraordinary in case you're feeling the loss of the caffeine kick from your soda!

I do hope that you can kick the soda habit and save yourself a world of hurt when it comes to losing weight. You can lose 30 pounds by not drinking soda. If you can kick the habit you can lose the weight, and that's a fact! Join us next time and please comment and share this post if you found it insightful.

Sweet Alternatives to Candy

Halloween is coming up quickly and we all know that there is nothing more wonderful than the sweet taste of candy and sugar when it comes to Halloween. The problem with this holiday is that so many people go trick-or-treating and they get too much candy. The candy is not the only problem, the other problem is that we don't eat one piece of candy and be done. We eat handfuls of candy and leave the wrappers to be desired. What are the alternatives to candy? Let's get started on discussing the best alternatives to candy that you can eat and still remain on your diet during Halloween.


1. Craisins 
Craisins are sweet cranberries that taste like candy, but they boost your immune system with heavy amounts of antioxidants. Raisins are quite tasty, but I love the Craisins because they have a bitter tang to them that makes them delectably yummy. These are a great alternative to candy for Halloween.


2. Prunes
Prunes are the second sweet alternative to candy during the Halloween holiday. Prunes are dried plums that are chewy are sweet. They are naturally very sweet and have several vitamins and minerals that make these little trinkets very great. You can get cherry flavored ones and they also come in several different flavors.


3. Yogurt
Yogurt is a third alternative to candy during the Halloween season and they are generally very sweet in nature, both from the fruits that are normally in the yogurt to the added sugar. There are pro-biotics that lurk in the yogurt to give you an immune system boost that will make your body stronger with it.


I hope that you have enjoyed this blog post on these sweet alternatives to candy during the Halloween and harvest season. So much sugar gets passed around at jobs, in businesses, at schools, and it really is not needed when it comes to weight loss and dieting. Fat feeds on sugar and so does cancer. In order to lose weight you are going to need to curb the sugar cravings. Working out will help with this and getting the endorphins flowing will help. Dried fruits are great alternatives as well. Enjoy they great sweet alternatives to candy!

Bodyweight Workout...Best Weight Loss

Its been said before, "You have to have a gym membership to lose weight." I would say that, that is a lie. The very best weight loss that you can have is from bodyweight workouts. I really want to discuss a few points that support this because people always think that you have to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to lose weight. I have personally gone through doing bodyweight workouts and I have lost 45 pounds and kept it off really well. The slower you lose your weight and the better you lose your weight the longer you will keep it off. Let's get started!

1. Slow Burn
When you utilize the bodyweight workout you will find that it is a slower burn, but it will be a good burn. It feels different when you're doing bodyweight workouts because you don't expect it to do that much of a workout. The slow burn will allow your body to get used to and acclimate to you losing weight and enjoying the beautiful results. Bodyweight workouts allow you to lose weight in body fat and sculpt a great looking body.

2. Low Investment
You will find that you don't have to invest a whole lot of money when you do bodyweight workouts. All you have to invest is time and you have to be disciplined to do it. You can utilize the fact that you will be working out with your body and no equipment. All you need is about 10 square feet of space, some water to rehydrate, and the will to keep going.

3. Heavier Workout
I find that bodyweight workouts are harder than the normal workouts with equipment in a gym because the machines take the resistance away from your body. Bodyweight utilizes more resistance and more muscles are used when there is more resistance. You will feel more tired and get a good burn going when you do bodyweight workouts. The superhero workouts that I have shared on here are great because you will be able to use superhero chiseled muscles after a few months of doing bodyweight workouts.

I would like to invite you to look at the superhero workouts on our blog and use them. We are all for using gym memberships for what they are supposed to be used for, but I like using your body and saving money. The muscle that you will be getting from the bodyweight workouts will be more endurance muscle, but can give you a chance to work off of them and get superhero-like muscle in a few short months. Check out the blog posts below on superhero workouts!

The Truth About Superheroes and Weight Loss

There are so many myths and bad misconceptions out there about superheroes that you see in both comic books and those that we see in these Hollywood movies. We think that Dwayne Johnson, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, and the countless of others just workout and eat whatever they want and that they come out looking like cookie cutter buff guys. This is NOT true by any stretch of the imagination. The problem that we all face when wanting to look like this may be a bit different than what we originally thought it might be.

1. Workout More
You have to realize that the superheroes that you see in the movies don't just do 8-10 reps of their heaviest for their body and then they are done for the day. The majority of them workout upwards of an hour doing weight lifting and cardio work to look like that. Some of them workout multiple times in a day. You have to do more to be able to grow more. You can't lift a few weights and then be done for the day. You have to workout more in order to get superhero results with weight loss.

2. Quit Sugar
Imagine that Captain America's Chris Evans works out and then goes and drinks a soda afterwards. This just DOES NOT happen! Chris Evan's and all of the famous superheroes that get really big really fast are not eating or drinking sugar. They may have some on a cheat day every so often, but they're not sitting around, pigging out on sugar, and playing Call of Duty. In order to be the superhero, they have to literally BE the superhero. Quit your sugar if you want maximum weight loss and muscle gain like the superheroes.

3. Eat More
The biggest challenge that all of the actors and actresses face on a daily basis is eating WAY more than what they are used to. With the exception of Sylvester Stallone (he would eat 1100 calories of pure good food in a day), all of the rest of the superheroes are eating over 6000 calories of pure protein, some fat, and very low amounts of carbs in a day! Chicken and eggs are a huge favorite when eating like a superhero and achieving that weight loss.

As you can see, the truth hurts! Superheroes don't just get to eat garbage and sit on the couch in order to be able to be a cool and supermanly and superwomanly superhero. It takes a LOT of hard work, but it is worth it for each and everyone one of them. All of them drink enormous amounts of water. We would suggest the 6-8 glasses of water in a day unless you're active and using the water that you're taking in. I hope that you have enjoyed this post.

10 Things to Do When You Feel Like Quitting

Are you someone that is thinking about quitting your weight loss or diet program? We have all thought about doing this at one point or another. The thought about quitting seems to come up a lot because we find it hard to do the things that are essential for weight loss and keeping on track with our diet. You can either quit what you are doing with your weight loss or diet program, or you can take the bull by the horns and go out and do it. What do you do when you feel like quitting? Let's take a look!

1. Remember

The first thing that you can do when you feel like quitting is to think back and remember why it was that you were wanting to quit. You may have been doing your weight loss or diet program because you wanted to get a girl or a guy, or you were losing weight to fit in smaller clothes, to look better, whatever reason that you had. Think back and really remember the, "why." You will be glad you did. 

2. Hold 

The second thing that you can do is to hold on to that reason and why you wanted to do it in the first place. People forget things and why they do the things that they do. Hold on with a tight grip to that all important reason why you are doing it. When everything wants to take that reason you are doing your weight loss or diet program away from you, take a hold of it and rip it out of their hands.

3. Focus

After you struggle and grind and fight with the reason why you were wanting to do it in the first place, focus on the solution that will bring your motivation and love for doing it back around. The solution is to think about all of the time and energy and money that you have already given to it. Think about what your life would be like if you were to quit. Would your family line continue with obesity and disease from obesity? Or can you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make a difference?

4. Reality

A lot of the bloggers that I see that blog about weight loss, fitness, dieting, bodybuilding, working out, and on and on, they all have one thing in common. That one thing is that they sugar coat everything for you and tell you that it's easy. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Think about reality and how the world works. Nothing is easy! Weight loss is a long and hard road. I have seen fitness gurus and trainers that say its easy. Its not. Now that you have thought about reality, think about reality in the sense of how easy it COULD be by breaking it down into smaller chunks, say, a few minutes a day to work out. Keep in mind that its hard, not easy.

5. Goals

Share your goals with at least one person this week that is NOT yourself! By sharing these goals with someone, you may find it it will inspire them and them being inspired might inspire you. Take some time to get a drink, slow down in the day, and share your thoughts and goals for weight loss and dieting with them. They might have useful information for you on how to attain those goals as well. 

6. Challenges

Acknowledge the challenges that you are facing and will face in the future with going through with weight loss or dieting. So often we find ourselves struggling in challenges and we don't acknowledge them. By doing this, we put ourselves in a place to be completely oblivious towards what it is that's causing us to fail. Accept those challenges and work to conquer them and destroy them with every step you take.

7. Positive

The last thing to do when you feel like quitting is to be positive. Think about the happy things that you have accomplished through weight loss and or dieting. Take away the negative thoughts that will bring you down and strive to be positive and happy. By doing this you will find that you no longer want to quit your weight loss or diet program. Positive thinking is like good food for the soul.

8. Think
Think about the hard work that you have put in to working on your diet and your weight loss. It has been darn hard work just burning the fat and weight off, let alone eating correctly and actually putting together the process of weight loss. Stop and think for a minute and see how much better you will feel after your diet or weight loss. Most people don't consider how much effort it has taken in order to lose just 1 pound of fat. 

9. Changes

Make small changes in order to let your body acclimate better to your weight loss and diet program to give yourself a chance to save your new lifestyle. Sometimes we make these huge changes to our weight loss goals or diets and our bodies just can't take so many big changes at such high prices. Our bodies and psyche can't understand what is going on with change as we are not fans of change.

10. Perspective
Think about what your perspective is on how your situation looks. Sometimes our perspective becomes clouded when we don't see the bigger picture. You can change your life for the better and never see yourself as changed. You must introduce yourself to the new you that is coming and welcome in the new lifestyle that you will encounter upon still doing your weight loss or diet instead of quitting.

I hope that my readers can implement these things that you can do when you feel like quitting. Its a pretty simple job of thinking about how hard you have worked and not being stupid enough to quit. I know that it hurts when you work out and its hard to eat good all the time, but you guys must strive to beat obesity and keep going. Otherwise, you may find that if you quit, it just might be to your demise or downfall.

10 Power Packed Weight Loss Foods

Many people wonder what to eat on a diet and it really is no wonder why. So many blogs talk about so many different foods. We want to give you 10 power packed weight loss foods for your diet. These foods are the best for weight loss and will really help you succeed in beating obesity. You are going to want to spread the news and go shopping for these foods once you learn about which ones they are. 

1. Almonds

The first power packed food for weight loss is the almond. Almonds are low in calories, taste sweet and crunchy, are an excellent source of omega 3's, and have several great vitamins and nutrients. These are a great weight loss snack!

2. Legumes

Legumes are great for weight loss and pack quite a powerful punch. Fiber is numerous in legumes and other minerals are in abundance. Make some legumes as a side dish or incorporate it into your meal to keep you feeling full.

3. Berries
Berries are a secretly power packed weight loss food that has antioxidants in every bite, a sweet treat, they vitamins and minerals and they make other foods taste fantastic. My favorite berry is the strawberry because I love how they taste. Berries are a great snack for weight loss.

4. Green Tea

Green tea or yerba mate is great for burning fat and has the power to jump start your weight loss back to life. If you're struggling with weight loss, this tea is very powerful in burning fat. I remember my dad saying that when he went to Uruguay in South America, the people walk around drinking yerba mate out of a gourd, with a strained straw and everyone is slim and strong. It is full of antioxidants and has some caffeine that will give you a natural boost in your day.

5. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is a citrus that is not spoken of all that much. It is powerful because citrus is power packed full of water, vitamins and essential minerals. Grapefruit has been tied to burning a lot of fat as it is a fat burning machine.

6. Apples

I can't speak well enough about apples as they are a favorite fruit of mine. Fiber is abundant in apples and apples are a fruit that will keep you feeling full. Vitamins are quite full in apples, but you have to be careful because some apples are more sugar filled than others.

7. Avocados

The seventh power packed weight loss food is avocados. This veggie is known for its hard cored center and smooth flesh. Avocados are mistaken for being a food that is bad for you, but it is simply not true. Avocados have a greater fat content, but remember, eating fat doesn't make you fat. Eating sugar makes you fat.

8. Spinach 

Weight loss foods always cover the basics, but spinach is a special food that packs so many good and powerful qualities about it. Spinach is fiber rich, vitamins and minerals are present by the myriad, and you can make a really good salad out of spinach. It will not give you special powers or muscle immediately, but it will boost your weight loss efforts and leave you feeling guilt free as you demolish obesity.

9. Broccoli

Broccoli is a weight loss, power packed, obesity crushing, fat destroying bomb. Vitamins and minerals are huge in broccoli and fiber is great for keeping things regular. If you find that you are gassy when you eat broccoli raw, then you can steam it and it will make the broccoli more bearable and manageable for your body to handle.

10. Dark Chocolate

Okay,, okay, I know that I wrote that you burn fat with dark chocolate. I bet that you didn't know that there are antioxidants, flavonoids and polyphenols in dark chocolate. Polyphenols are some of the best and most efficiently burning fuels that your body can burn. Dark Chocolate is a phenomenal food that has a lot of power and is packed full of good nutrients that will help your weight loss endeavors.

I have loved talking about foods that will help you on your way to that beach body that we all want to have. Weight loss can be hard if you don't have enough options to eat and fill your meals and snacks with. I would like to invite you to comment on which foods you like to eat for your weight loss and like and share this post.

Naturally Boost Your Testosterone for Greater Performance

Testosterone is the main sex hormone, but today we are going to talk about other aspects as to what testosterone does to your body. There are few things if anything that is greater than feeling the pump of blood rushing through your veins when your working out hard. Boosting your testosterone and then feeling that blood pump through your veins feels better. In this blog post we will talk about why we should boost testosterone and then how to naturally boost your testosterone for greater performance in your workouts and athletically. This post is more for the men out there that are looking to lose weight in a short amount of time and in huge bursts.

Why should we boost testosterone for greater performance?

A. Increased Muscle Mass 
You can easily boost your muscle mass by increasing your testosterone levels. The reason being is that testosterone is the chemical that is released into the body after the brain sends a signal to the rest of your body that. Testosterone is part of what makes your body respond and pack on the muscle.

B. Fat Metabolism
Testosterone releases and tells your body to burn more of the fat that you have instead of letting the body store it. Stress makes fat store, testosterone makes the fat burn. Your metabolism increases and your weight loss becomes easier when you combine the testosterone with a good set of muscle. This becomes a winning combination when it comes to weight loss and beating obesity.

C. Increased Blood Cells
Testosterone increases the amount of red blood cells that are made when the blood marrow is activated by the testosterone. Bone density is increased as well. When the red blood cells are increased the body runs more efficiently and your body becomes a fat burning machine. Weight loss becomes a piece of cake.


How do we naturally boost testosterone for greater performance?

1. Exercises and Lift Weights More
One of the most natural ways to boost your testosterone for greater athletic performance is to increase your muscle mass by exercising more and lifting weights. When lifting weights we find that the brain releases more growth hormones in the body in order to heal the muscles that were injured slightly in order to come back. Bigger muscles equals more testosterone and more testosterone equals more weight loss and more fat burned.

2. Eat and Drink More Protein
Eating and drinking more protein increases testosterone naturally because the protein itself contains testosterone. I would suggest the men to eat and drink whey protein as it has less estrogen in it and more testosterone. I prefer drinking my protein as opposed to eating it because the protein typically tastes better than eating it.

3. Stay Away from Flax
We kind of touched on this in the last way that we naturally boost testosterone. Staying away from flax products and flax seed is essentially for producing more testosterone. Estrogen is the counterproductive counterpart to testosterone, and is in a way, the testosterone for women. For guys, we are going to want to stay away from anything that has flax or soy proteins in it. Soy is a bit better for the men, but both are counter to testosterone.

4. Get More Rest
Your body will burn a lot more fat and will work more efficiently and have greater performance after you start to get more testosterone. As everyone knows, especially those that lift heavy know that we have to rest in order to create a greater amount of testosterone. The body makes repairs and builds the muscle in the resting stage. You will find a great increase in testosterone if you give yourself two more hours increase in sleep more than what you get now. This can come in the form of a nap as well.

We have given you some great ideas on how to boost testosterone naturally in order to get greater performance athletically. I want to invite you all to share this blog post anywhere you can and please comment below to give us even more ways to naturally boost testosterone. This was a great a fun blog post to write as I find that my body feels drab if my testosterone is low. Let's get the manly muscle one, boost the testosterone, lose that weight and beat obesity!

5 Secret Exercises for Getting Pumped Up Muscle at Home

It's no secret that there have been certain exercises to working out and getting pumped. We have 5 secret exercises for getting pumped up muscle at home and without heavy equipment. All you're going to need is a hand towel or bath towel. You might be thinking that these exercises couldn't possibly get you pumped up muscle, but you would be DEAD wrong! I have used these to get ripped at home for free and the secret is out...these work to get you jacked and ripped.

1. Push-up Hand Raises
In order to do the push-up hand raises you're going to want to grip your towel about shoulder width apart. Then you assume push-up position when you're at your highest, then you try to raise your hands one at a time as close to your body as you can get them. If this doesn't work with your hands being shoulder width apart then put them closer together. This exercise will work your shoulders, your triceps, your chest, and your abs. Try to pull your hands apart as you lift the hands one at a time.

2. Military Press Skull Crushers
To properly execute the military press you hold the towel shoulder width apart and you extend your arms above your head and bring it down in front or behind your head. For this exercise we are going to bend our elbows as our hands go behind our head. Once your hands are above your head we are going to pull our hands apart while gripping the towel. This exercise will work your shoulders, upper back, 

3. Super Crunch
We are doing a variation of a crunch in which you are going to hold the towel shoulder width apart and try to get the towel gripping hands to your feet at the end of the crunch. Focus on trying to pull the towel gripped hands apart. This will give us a greater stretch in our shoulders and a deeper crunch in our abs. All of the sections of the ab wall be activated. Don't bounce as this will take away of the deep burn that you will experience.

4. High Knees
High knees are done when you run in place, trying to get your knees as high as you can. We are going to hold the towel out in front of us and try to pull those long shoulder width arms apart. You can variate this by bouncing the hands up and down while trying to do those high knees. Another variation of these high knees is to variate your running speed. Try running slower, then faster, then at a medium pace. This exercise will toast your legs, abs, and your arms.

5. Squashing Squat
We are going to ramp up the squat and make it something to behold. This is going to be a man-maker of an exercise. Assume the squat position with your towel in your hands at shoulder width apart fully stretched out. Push your hands out until you can feel your abs activate. Push your hands up and stretch those abs upwards after a few moments, and then thrust those hands down in a sort of a squat crunch. Try to push the hands apart in order to get more out of this exercise.

1 TIP (This is what makes these exercises work!)
Pull the hands apart as much as you can with these exercises in order to get more burn and deeper reps. Do these exercises every day until failure and you will be ripped and jacked with huge muscles.
Weight loss, fat burn, and obliteration of obesity is the inevitable destiny after you have used these exercises to workout. You will be burning so much more fat if you do these until failure. These exercises are widely known and you will find yourself gasping for air after this workout.

All of these exercises are variations that are designed to get the nooks and crannies that are normally neglected. They burn more fat and build more muscle by utilizing multiple muscles at once. You guys and gals will definitely feel your body getting buff and ripped as your muscles will be burning immediately. Please share this blog post, subscribe to our blog and leave a comment below to share your results and let me know what I should blog about next! Use these 5 secret exercises for getting pumped up muscle at home.

Iced Tea, Best Alternative to Soda

If you are like me, you really like soda. The fizz just makes your taste buds dance, the sugar makes your mouth happy, but you give up an astronomical amount of calories in just one can of soda. Very few of us really like to drink just water as it can taste very plain. We like our fluids that we drink to have a little bit of taste, a little bit of POP. I have often had a belly that I can't quite shake, just because I drink soda instead of water or iced tea. I checked on the calories in iced tea as opposed to soda, and there is no comparison on which one is better. If you drink a glass of iced tea with a little bit of sugar, it is normally under 30 calories. A can of soda averages about 140 calories. This is just one of many good effects of iced tea.

1. Iced Tea Keeps You Feeling Full
Iced tea is really good for weight loss because it is a fraction of the calories of a soda. Iced tea also keeps you feeling full without all of the calories. If you drink a glass of iced tea in between meals or before a big meal it will help to curb those hunger pangs. I usually drink it in the morning to get my metabolism going. Adding lemon or lime to your iced tea can give it a nice acidic twist.

2. Stabilizes Your Blood Glucose Levels
Unsweetened Iced tea is also good for stabilizing your blood glucose levels. Iced tea helps regulate the fluctuation of glucose levels. If you are a diabetic that is trying to lose weight then unsweetened iced tea is great for you. Green tea is typically sweeter than black tea and green tea is directly in conjunction with weight loss.

3. Natural Caffeine
Black and green iced teas have natural caffeine that helps boost body energy levels. This caffeine is not artificial, but it is good to drink in moderation and keep the caffeine to a low. Caffeine is used in sports to give you muscle endurance. Caffeine in soda is added, artificial, and is consumed in dangerously high amounts. Caffeine in iced tea gives you just enough natural caffeine to keep going.

4. Half Iced Tea, Half Lemonade
The half iced tea and half lemonade is one of my favorite options, especially when losing weight. It seems easier to cut your gut when you just switch from soda to iced tea. Iced tea is a great supplement to transition to water from soda. The Arnold Palmer as it is famously called is my favorite beverage, at least the ones that are non-alcoholic. Add a little bit of sugar or honey and it really hits the spot!

5. Iced Tea Not Like Water
Iced tea is not like water and will not hydrate you like water. The misconception that many people have is that iced tea will hydrate their body like water does. This is simply not true! You need to drink as much water as you do iced tea. There are little crystals that will turn into kidney stones if you don't moderate the iced and the water. Iced tea may have antioxidants, but the hydration properties that water has is just not there. Much like soda, iced tea has water IN it, but it is not water.

6. Drink Tea, Consume More Water
Drinking iced tea makes your body make saliva and makes your body create amino acids. This, in turn, makes your body want to drink water. Drinking water will make your body feel more full while eating less. Drinking water will flush your urinary tract and kidneys to get rid of the mineral residue that is natural. Iced tea can flush some nasty garbage from your body that you may not have even known was there. Water can restore the good properties that sometimes get flushed when diuretic iced tea is consumed.

These effects of iced tea make it a considerably better option instead of soda. Drink iced tea to get a little bit of taste while staying full. Drink it in moderation with water to begin feeling better and work your way into drinking all water. Iced tea is famously starred in the Duck Dynasty show with Uncle Si Robertson. Take a swig, kick back, and relax. You can drink up to four times as much tea as soda and it is still really good for you, iced tea that is!

5 Simple Ways to Tighten Your Core in 7 Days

I was sitting there one day trying to figure out how to tighten your core and how to do it as quick as I could. There are many ways to tighten your core, but I wanted to give you five of the best ones that I have found to work the best for me. We will do it in 7 days, but you have to be committed to eating right and working out every day. Implement these 5 ways to tighten your core for 7 days and you will tighten your core considerably. I have used these 5 ways in my life and have tightened my core immensely.


1. Plank

The single greatest exercise for tightening your core has got to be the plank. I have used this exercise quite a bit. You may think it easy to hold a push-up position for a long amount of time while not letting your lower back sink, but it may prove more difficult than you think. I started at holding the plank for one minute and worked my way up from there. If holding it on your hands is too easy, simply rock down to your elbows. 

2. Drink

This may not be exactly what you were thinking of when first seeing the word, "drink." I have found that drinking 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in an 8 ounce glass of water is a hyper boost to your metabolism. Besides boosting the metabolism, the vinegar balances out the PH in your body to make it more alkaline. What does this mean for your weight loss? It means that you can tighten your core even more because your body is rid of the pain causing acid that sticks in your joints. 

3. Breathe

Breathing deeply and practicing your flexing will allow your stomach to get used to being hardened. If you flex in a mirror it will help you to visualize your breathing and flexing. Breathing properly adds another dimension to your core tightening and strengthening. When you breathe in deeply you flex your diaphragm and abs. Really feel the abs flex as you see them when you squeeze. Yoga is phenomenal when it comes to practicing your deep breathing.

4. Kettlebell

Kettle…what? Kettlebells and swinging a chunk of weight that is quite heavy will cause you to flex those abs and tighten that core. Grip that handle, keep your back straight, and swing that kettlebell. A tip that I found that helps is to flex the abs in order to get the bell to swing, don’t physically swing your arm. Its not an arm workout, its an abdomen workout.

5. Stop

Stop eating sugar! Sugar is the biggest fuel for fat and gaining a lot of weight. Once you completely cut the sugar, you cut the gut and tighten your core. Sugar is all bad and doesn’t present any good nutrition for your body. I stopped eating and drinking sugar and my weight began to go down. As I lost the weight my core tightened and my abs were uncovered under the layer of fat.

Please subscribe to our blog and like this blog post on Facebook and your favorite social media sites with the buttons below the post. Share it with your friends as 5 great ways to tighten your core. These have been perfected by myself and I speak from experience. If you do these five things for 7 days in a row you will find yourself with the beginning of a nice set of abs. If you don’t see it in 7 days, repeat until you do! Enjoy your tightening core!

Gorging Green Diet...the Cleanest Diet Yet?

Have you ever been gorging yourself when you should be on a diet, but you never thought that you could gorge yourself on green veggies? Have you ever just wanted a diet that would give you a cleaner and nutritional diet? Are you someone that needs a detoxification of your body by the diet that you're trying to choose? If you're someone that is sick of the conventional diets and you want a diet that is completely new and different, then this diet is for you. This is not your parents' diet and that is a very good and beautiful thing! Let's get into the diet that could sweep the world and take it by storm!

1. Greener is Cleaner
Greener is definitely cleaner and is not just better for the environment. Your body will have a new vibe when you begin to eat greener and cleaner. Spinach, lettuce, celery, Swiss chard, kale, and broccoli are just a few of the great super-foods and veggies that you can eat with this diet. Gorging yourself on green veggies will give you the essential vitamins and minerals that you body needs to run cleaner.

2. Calorie Counting Gone
Can there really be a diet that gets rid of calorie counting? This will be the second diet that we have created that utilizes watching what you eat instead of counting calories. There are also very few calories in fruits and veggies that are green. The reason that we want the calorie counting to be a thing of the past is that we want this diet to be easy enough for anyone to do. This makes fat burn and weight loss all the easier.

3. The Green of the Diet
The green aspect to the diet is what we want to utilize. By eating green fruits and veggies you will lose more weight quicker. I find that salads, soups, and smoothies that are green with veggies are some of the best ways to enjoy the green of the diet. Salads are probably my favorite when it comes to clean eating. The conundrum that we come against is the fact that putting gobs of dressing on your salad kills the purpose of green eating and the diet. Everything in moderation.

4. The Workout
The workout that I want to incorporate in this diet is very simple. I want you to walk. That is the simplest way of burning the most fat. Jogging or running is great, but your body gets into shape too quick and then doesn't burn enough fat to make a difference. Walking allows for the body to burn larger amounts of calories for the same length of workout than a heavy workout.

5. Share It!
The last element to this diet is to share it! Get the word out there that there is a new diet in the world that anyone and everyone can do. You don't have to go broke eating better and you don't have to starve. Challenge your friends and family members for even greater drive. Please comment below as we would love your comments. Share it if you like this blog post and enjoy!
