5 Surprising Things That Make You Leaner

Want to be leaner?

Good deal... here's 5 tips that will help you along...

TIP 1
Ditch The Starch

Starches, such as rice, potatoes, some veggies, oats, etc. are
often considered "health foods."

While they can be healthy, they can also pack on stomach
bodyfat like crazy if you overdo them.

As you may know, "Every Other Day Diet" System (EODD)
actually encourages you to eat starches and even sweets several
days a week to get rid of excess bodyweight:

Every Other Day Diet <-- go

Well... how does THAT work?

Simple: Timing is everything.

And it takes a "weekly" approach to foods rather than a daily
approach. This keeps your metabolism guessing. If your body
cannot figure out what you're up to, fatburning is that much more
powerful. And you can get by with eating starches... at least a
specific times on specific days.

But if you're not going to do EODD, then you'll have to wing it.
And the best way to wing it is to simply cut starches out entirely
for 4-8 weeks. Then slowly add them back a few days per week.

This is no where near as effective (or as fun) as the EODD method,
but it will get you pointed in the right direction.

TIP 2
Can The Sodas

Why diet-sodas? A recent study revealed that people who drank
diet-sodas actually increased bodyfat when compared to those
who drank sugar-sodas.

What the... ??

Yep. Your body cannot be fooled by aspartame and chemicals.
Sorry, but that's the truth.

Here's a personal story: When I cut out the diet-sodas my bodyfat
drops like a rock in a pond of clear water.

And that's what you need to be drinking: A quart of pure water
per 50 lbs of bodyweight a day.

Try mixing water with lemon and a bit of Stevia (an herbal
sweetener) and make lemonade. It's wonderful!

TIP 3
Stay Hungry

It takes a special person to be hungry... and an even greater one
to stay that way.

I want you to stay hungry in two ways: In how you workout and
literally... stay a bit hungry before you go to bed. Not
"starving"... just a bit hungry.

For your workouts, I have a great solution. If you pick up EODD
you'll get a limited shot at "7 Minute Body"... Jon Benson's
combination of "7 Minute Muscle" and "The 7 Minute In-Home
Workout" in one book... and for more than half off... but that's a
very limited deal. Gotta have EODD... you'll need them both...

EODD <-- go

You see, progression -- "forced" progression -- is the best way to
stay hungry. 7 Minute Body forces you to progress without thinking
about it. Progression is built into the System.

As far as staying hungry at night? Check with your doctor and if
he/she okays it take 500mg of potassium and 1000mg of
magnesium/calcium a few hours prior to bed. This helps with the
hunger pangs. Also, keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. If you get
really hungry, eat one with half the yolk (toss the other half.) It
keeps you full for an hour at least.

TIP 4
Cardio Clarity

Hours and hours of cardio a day is not the answer. However, you
can do "light" cardio (i.e. brisk walking, or riding the bike at 60%
of your max) just to burn off calories. That's okay... and personally
I don't find it that boring if I'm watching a TV show. It does not
interfere with my main fatloss exercise (weight training... YES!)
and it burns off about 400 calories an hour.

What does work is early morning fasting cardio... but you only need
9-15 minutes. Jon Benson explains GXP (Modified) in the 7 Minute
Body book, available only if you pick up EODD, and you can get it
at more than half off:

EODD <-- go

TIP 5
Get Raw At Night

Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help
your fatburning along. Try starting with red peppers because
they're sweet. You'll eat virtually every veggie raw at night
without thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fatloss is well
worth it.

P.S. Jon is still giving away "Radical Fatloss Blueprint" along
with EODD for a few more days. And I'm giving a lucky few the
chance to pick up the Supplement-Kit that comes with Radical
Fatloss for almost 100 bucks off... the video and details are here:

Sorry... EODD Readers Only.... so pick it up today.

Hope these tips will help you out,

Your New Game Plan

Hi,

If there's one thing that I've been trying to teach for some
time now, it's that fat loss is a BATTLE. It's literal
combat—you versus your body.

And unless you enter the battle field with some top-notch
strategy in place, you might as well waive the white flag before
you even start.

Straight up, fat loss is a battle, and when your only strategy
is calorie restriction and reducing the amount of food you eat
daily, then I'll be frank, you're game plan is very ELEMENTARY.

Expect to fail.

It's like going into the NBA finals with a middle school basketball
playbook—simply put, you're going to get BLOWN OUT.

Get a new game plan <------- Upgrade Your Game Plan

If you truly want to succeed with dieting, if you genuinely want to
experience REAL fat loss success, then you NEED to bring a
heck of a lot more to the battle field than these old school,
outdated, oversimplified methods.

The choice is yours: you can continue to fight the fat loss war with
the same battle strategies they used back in the War of 1812 (and
continue to be frustrated) OR you can FINALLY start winning this
fight.

War is not won by effort; it's won via strategy.

If you can outsmart your opponent, I guarantee you'll come out on
top every time. And that's exactly what I teach you how to do in
Your New Game Plan - outsmart your body, eat what you want,
and TRIPLE your results - starting with the coming holidays.

Stop fighting with elementary methods. It's not
you, it's not your body, it's your method.

The truth is, you CAN win with the right game plan. But if
calorie restriction is all you've got, I'm afraid it's going to
be one long road.

Your New Game Plan <-------- WAY Beyond Calorie Restriction

This is your chance. THIS is your opportunity. My challenge
to you: SEIZE the day.

Your "anti-diet" fat loss friend,

Jorma

P.S. If you're planning on eating your favorites food,
then you are right on track, because that's what I tell you to do.
If you want to know how you can actually use your favorites
to lose more fat than if you didn't, then you defenitely need to
check out Your New Game Plan.

Waking Up From Reality

Hello,

"Wake up."

Perhaps you hear it first thing in the
morning from that adorable but impatient
child who wants their breakfast.

Or, perhaps it's the morning mantra of your
spouse who serves the dual role of loving
partner and part-time alarm clock.

But often, it is much more.

I think you say it to yourself from time to
time, just as I do.

"Come on, wake up! Get in
the game!"

Today, you will get in the game.

This moment.

For today, I want you to wake up
from reality.

From what we have crudely labeled
"reality", that is.

From, as an Oxford professor once called
it, "The anesthetic of reality."

Please do not misunderstand.

Reality is necessary. Demanded. A tool for
us to use.

Reality simply is.

But we all need to wake up from it and see
the grand scheme of things if this life is
ever to hold more than mere breathing,
paying bills, and passing on.

There's much more to life than reality.

Here's proof:

You see, when you stare in the mirror, the
product of a one in a trillion chance.

The odds of you being here, in this
century, in this moment, reading this
letter, are greater than the odds of me
tossing a needle out of an airplane at
35000 feet and having it land on a specific
blade of grass.

Let that sink in for a moment.

You are absolutely amazing ...
and equally improbable.

You are unique.
More rare than you can imagine.

More wondrous than you may know.

The mere fact you exist is overwhelmingly
against the odds. The fact that you can
read this letter to you is a billion times
greater even still.

But that you can understand, comprehend,
analyze, and do something about it? Take
action? Access your life and take a break
from reality?

My friend, that is too wondrous, too
against the odds for words or numbers
to adequately convey.

That is the number 1, followed by the count
of the stars in the sky.

So what do we do once we wake up from
reality? Do we quit our jobs and go
pressing daisies in a field? Do we eat,
drink and be merry? Do we ponder the
classics of art, literature, and
metaphysics?

Well, that is an option.

But I have a more clear-cut idea of what
it means for us -- those interested in
becoming healthy and fit -- to wake up
from reality.

Reality, for us, can be defined as your
schedule. Your routine. The workings of the
inner clock of your life that cause things
to work and move forward.

The trouble is, those inner workings are in
need of some grease.

Perhaps even a few new parts.

When you wake up from reality and see the
big picture, you are in essence greasing
the gears of your life's clock. You are
ensuring you get every moment out of it.

And make no mistake: The clock is ticking
down. It does not tick up.

And it moves faster than the speed of
light, despite its second-by-second
appearance.

Reality can blur time.

Before you know it, a week, a month, a
year, a decade has passed.

Sure, you've paid the bills. You've gotten
the kids off to school. You've done the
good work. You've fought the good fight.

But...

But there is so much more you wanted out
of this short breath of existence you enjoy,
isn't there?

"So much more."

Those three words are often on the lips of
the dying.

I'm asking you to speak them today,
out-loud, as a part of the elect. The
unique.

The living.

Perhaps reset your clock.
Then, you will continue on your way.

Perhaps you will glean a new sense of
purpose, motivation, direction... and this
is your doing, not mine.

I am just going to be your coach.

And while I am coaching you, you are going
to coach me. We will learn from each
other's awakening.

But this -- this "reality renewal project"
if you will -- is the stuff of dreams that
become "stuff".

Your inner hopes and visions will become
real. Become tangible. Become tools for the
masses to enjoy.

They will become your legacy.

I will leave you with this thought, from
the incomparable Carl Sagan:

You are the stuff of stars.

Whether you believe in a creator or you do
not, the atoms in your body and specific
chemicals therein are remnants of long-dead
stars that gave their lives for your
existence to unfold.

It is rather poetic when you think of that
way, isn't it?

Imagine if a star had a conscious. It
decides to explode ... not to destroy, but
to coalesce into you, your family, your
world of friends.

Just imagine it.

Well, you 'are' star-stuff. Immortal
energy, and perhaps even immortal spirit.

And equally wondrous to this -- you can
wake up from reality and realize it.

Once you do, the rest of your life here in
this plane of existence will never be the
same.

So, let's wake up, daily, and start anew.

Build the body you want.

Regain or maintain the health you desire.

Leave a legacy that will one day be the
quotes of authors and presidents.

This is your right as a fellow member of
the one in a hundred trillion Star Stuff
Club. It is an exclusive group.

Welcome.

The next time you are depressed or
discouraged about your life, your body,
your health, or your emotional state,
remember this letter.

Print it out. Keep it where you can read
it often.

I will also ask you a favor: If this moved
you into a better state, please forward it
to others.

And, do it all in a spirit of gratitude for
the moments you have to ponder, in total
awe, the true reality of who you are.

The stuff of stars. Something far more
than mere reality.

My very best to you,

Homemade Protein Power

Hi,

Protein shakes are a dime a dozen. However a high-quality protein
drink that is both homemade and nutritious is a rare find. Most
protein drinks today have traveled the path of least resistance --
cheap and potentially dangerous sweeteners, sugar alcohols (in
order to bring down the supposed "carb count"), and protein sources
that are often dubious...and accompanied with more outrageous
claims than grams of the good stuff.

The strategy for building this drink was simple:

1. Go hormone-free and organic with everything possible;
2. Go with plenty of healthy fats rather than cheap sugar
substitutes to help control insulin and provide more satiety;
3. Think 'raw';
4. Make it delicious!

Below you will find this recipe, complete with the exact ingredients
used. It takes less than five minutes to make and keeps me full for
2-3 hours. It is less than 1/3 the cost of an out-of-the-box MRP
(Meal Replacement Product) and contains 1/10th the number of
ingredients -- and that's a good thing. If you cannot pronounce it,
it's probably bad for you. And it tastes fantastic!

Mix the following into a high-quality blender:

1. One heaping scoop of Jay Robb's Egg White Protein
You will need to adjust this amount to your body weight.
Jay uses the best sources available, including hormone-free cattle
and Stevia, a herbal sweetener, to make his excellent protein.
There are no additional carbs to speak of and only the bare
essentials ingredient-wise. Jay also makes a high-quality whey.
I will often combine the whey and the egg white powders,
using about half a scoop each.

2. One raw egg (cage-free)
Do not worry about cholesterol or getting food poisoning. These
claims are mostly media hype. You need the high-quality protein and
fats found in the egg. Most people try to go low-fat when making a
protein shake. This is a mistake, as fats are crucial to the
digestion of protein. As for contamination: Roll the egg on the
counter. If it wobbles, you are safe to consume it. I've used this
technique for several years and I've yet to have one case of food
poisoning consuming raw eggs. Oh, and it makes the protein drink
taste better (believe it or not.)

3. Five grams of L-Glutamine
Powdered L-Glutamine (I use Jarrow's brand) is one of the
healthiest things you can supplement your diet with. L-Glutamine
has been shown to be one of the most powerful nutrients for both
recovery and immunity enhancement. It makes a tremendous
difference in both performance and wellness. It is tasteless, too.

4. Five grams of Creatine Monohydrate
If you want more strength and muscle fullness, good old creatine
monohydrate (the non-fancy stuff; just monohydrate for me) works
like you would not believe. Five grams per day is all you need.
Like L-Glutamine, it is tasteless. I use Jarrow Brand.

5. Raw almonds
I cannot say enough good stuff about almonds. Besides tasting
great, they are loaded with essential fats and healthy fiber. Here
is how I measure how much to use. This comes right out of a book
"The Every Other Day Diet" by author Jon Benson found here:

The Cheat-To-Beat-Diet <-- click.

You can find 15 other shake recipes and over 40 pages of recipes in
that book that fit the bill of being tasty and fantastic fat-burning
meals. Here is the trick: Divide your body weight by 10. That's it.
If you weigh 200 pounds, that means 20 almonds. Simple,
right? There is an entire measuring system for Every Other Day
Diet's SNAPP! System of eating that is this simple for everything:
Calories (none to count), carbohydrates, fats, protein intake...
even water!

6. Frozen berries (raspberries mixed with blueberries)
Yes, fresh is better than frozen... but frozen makes the shake more
frothy. Plus, buy organic berries and freeze them in containers.
There is practically nothing lost in the process. How much? Simple:
Divide your body weight by 5! Same weight as above means 40 berries,
or about a handful. Once you count them out once or twice you never
have to again.

7. Pumpkin seeds
This was a great find: A super-healthy and tasty addition to the
protein recipe, plus a nice bump in the fiber content. Measuring
something as fine a seeds is a bit more challenging using the
numeric system, so we keep it simple: Use your palm. Just pour the
seeds into your palm. Make sure they are not forming a pyramid or
overflowing. That's the ideal amount.

8. 1 to 1.5 cups of pure water
I use only 1 cup of water as I like my shake thick.

9. 1 cup of ice
Adjust to taste and texture preference.

10. Stevia (to taste)
I love Stevia. It is an herbal sweetener that does not cause an
insulin spike like sugar or even sugar alcohols can, and does not
have the health hazards of artificial sweeteners.

There you have it: A mostly raw, protein-rich, health-fat,
carb-friendly protein drink that will fill you up for hours, tastes
great, and contains more raw nutrition than most people get in a
week.

Back Surgery: When Is It The Right Option For You?

Hello friends,

Have you or a loved one been told that back surgery is
the only option left? Have you already had spinal surgery
just to find limited pain relief — or even more back pain
than ever?

For over a decade I've helped thousands of people faced
with the prospect of back surgery. And more often than
not I've been able to help them find relief from back pain
by correcting the root cause of their back pain without
life-altering surgery or drugs.

Now I'm not going to sit here and tell you to cancel your
surgery or even tell you the surgery you already had
was a mistake. That's a personal decision only you can
make.

Once you have surgery, everything changes. You'll never
be the same, even if the surgery is a success. So what I
will do is give you options. In this article I'll share facts
about spinal surgery and important questions to ask your
doctor so you can make a fully informed decision. If you
decide to have the surgery they will help ensure the best
possible long-term outcome.

Why does my back hurt?

Outside of trauma, back pain doesn't happen overnight.
Back pain is more commonly the symptom of a long-term
condition known as "postural dysfunction." This simply
means there is an abnormal curvature of the spine or
abnormal positioning of the pelvis.

Everyone has varying degrees of postural imbalances as
different muscles grow weaker or stronger, and more
flexible or tight in relation to each other. Postural
dysfunctions occur over time when these imbalances
are not identified and corrected.

Postural dysfunctions cause increased wear and tear on
the joints, muscles, ligaments, and discs in your back.
Over time your back weakens until it can no longer
properly support itself and nerves in your spinal column
are suddenly and painfully pressured or pinched.

What spinal surgery does...

While there are a dozen or so different types of surgical
procedures for back pain, all of them attempt to do one
of two things: remove the pressure on the nerve or stabilize
the spine.

Consider the case of a herniated disc. You have pain
because the disc is pressing on a nerve. Your doctor may
tell you the only thing he can do is remove the part of the
disc that's pressing on the nerve.

At first thought, this might sound like good news. Take
the pressure off the nerve and it's goodbye pain!
Unfortunately it's not quite that simple. Think of it like the
wheels on a car. When your car gets out of alignment,
your tires wear unevenly. The areas on the tire receiving
extra pressure due to the imbalance wear away much
faster than normal. Left unchecked, a sudden catastrophic
blowout may be in your future.

If you replace the tires, but leave the alignment uncorrected,
it won't be long until you have the same problem with the
new tires. Until you fix the cause of the problem, the
symptoms will keep recurring.

The same thing applies to your spine. No matter how many
surgeries you have, until you correct the underlying cause
of the imbalances weakening your back, you will continue
experiencing spinal degeneration — and as time goes on,
more pain.

This is why I consider back surgery an extreme approach
to dealing with non-trauma related back pain. Besides the
fact that spinal surgery alone will not correct muscle
imbalances, there are other issues to contend with during
recovery that can be counterproductive to your pain
reduction goals.

Recovery after back surgery...

Post-surgical recovery is an area too frequently glossed
over during the decision making process leading to an
operation. You will want to consider the risks and difficulties
of recovery as part of an informed decision.

Following back surgery, your body will go through a normal
recovery process including significant pain and awkward
movement for even simple daily tasks. Because your body
is contorting itself to avoid pain during this recovery phase,
additional stress is placed on other areas of your body —
particular above and below the site of surgery and in other
joints such as the hips or sacroiliac (SI).

All surgeries produce scar tissue. As your body heals
there is a real possibility that the scar tissue itself can
build up to the point that it makes contact with the nerve,
causing as much pain as if the disc itself were still putting
pressure on the nerve.

Your most important consideration before agreeing to
surgery should be rehab. The rehab you're likely to
receive after the operation will only address postoperative
pain. Therapists will use soothing modalities and work with
you to improve your functional skills, particularly activities
of daily living such as bathing, dressing and going to the
bathroom.

Your back surgery pre-op checklist...

Don't assume your rehab will cover all necessary long-term
recovery activities automatically. The simple principle of
getting our bodies back into balance, or proper alignment,
so they can function normally again is rarely acted upon
by the traditional medical community. In fact, your doctor
may not even be familiar with postural dysfunctions as
they are not taught in many traditional medical schools.

Most insurance companies only pay for getting rid of
symptoms ASAP. Their focus is only on moving you
through the health care system at minimal cost to them.
As a result, if you decide to have back surgery, it is
critical that you protect yourself from inadequate
rehabilitation support by demanding that your healthcare
provider and insurance company will address both
short-term and long-term goals before agreeing to the
procedure.

First, be sure a physical therapist will identify any postural
dysfunctions including abnormal curvature of the spine or
abnormal positioning of the pelvis. Specifically, insist they
explain exactly how your muscles are out of balance,
which muscles are strong or weak, and how they are
flexible or tight in relation to each other. Have them write
everything down as part of your long-term care plan and
ask for a copy.

Then have them respond to the following five questions
so you can properly address any postural dysfunctions
that remain following the surgery:

1. Which postural dysfunction did you identify?
2. How would you describe the curvature of my spine
from top to bottom?
3. How would you describe the position of my pelvis
(level or tipping)?
4. Can you please note for me, specifically, my muscle
imbalances?
5. Please write down for me which muscles I need to
stretch and which ones I need to strengthen; also,
please explain what each muscle group does so I
know I'm doing the correct set of exercises.

Effective alternatives to back surgery...

Fortunately most back pain sufferers can get relief without
resorting to surgery. By identifying and addressing the
underlying muscle imbalances and postural dysfunctions
behind their back pain, many back pain sufferers can get
better results without surgery and avoid the inherent risks.

In fact, if you're still considering surgery, I'd recommend
finding a qualified therapist first and ask the same five
questions above. Using this information, give yourself 60
days to work on stretching and strengthening before
making a final decision on surgery. You stand a strong
chance of eliminating your back pain altogether — with no
surgery and much lower medical bills!

One final word on surgical outcomes. Back pain surgery is
the only category of surgery that actually has a clinical term
for failure — Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. Unless the
underlying causes of your back pain such as muscle
imbalances are addressed, chances are high that you
won't experience long-term pain relief (I define long-term
as more than five years).

back pain without surgery, read the free book that's

Can Proper Nutrition and Supplementation Heal Your Back Pain?

Hope this article will be of some help.

By Steven Hefferon, CMT, CTP, CPRS

Anyone looking to achieve optimal health has to consider
nutrition as the single most important ingredient for success.
In a perfect world, all of our nutrition should come from the
food we eat. Supplementation should not even be an issue.

In the real world, however, most of the foods we eat are
riddled with fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and hormones -
not to mention that they are often hydrated with polluted water.
In addition, an ever-growing percentage of our food comes
from other countries, which don't always have the best
inspection track record.

And if all that weren't bad enough, the natural nutrient
value of the soil that produces these foods has also
been diminishing over the years, a trend that will only
continue. This is why it's necessary for us to take a hard
look at our diets and make a decision about whether we
may need supplements.

As you can see, proper nutrition nowadays is not that
easy; it does take some time to educate yourself. By
proper nutrition, I mean eating clean and safe foods
that have the nutrients your body requires to get and
stay healthy.

Recipe for relief

Your two main purposes for eating a healthy diet and
taking supplements are to give your body what it needs
to heal itself and to minimize the level of inflammation
that is in your body. The inflammation is what is causing
your pain.

Drugs that fight pain do little, if anything, to help the body
heal itself. In fact, some of these drugs can have severe
negative side effects, so please consider eating right as
an alternative.

If you are suffering from any form of back pain or sciatica,
I have a recipe for relief. This is a vary basic look at how
foods and supplements can help heal the body.

Water: Some people believe that we get enough water
from our foods and don't need to drink much of it.
Others believe that we need to drink 50 to 100 ounces
per day - every day. Truth is, your body will tell you what
it needs; you just need to know how to listen. Here are
some signs that you may need to be drinking more water:
constipation, muscle spasm or cramping, and darker urine.
If you're taking any medication, or if your blood pressure
is not stable - certainly if it's too high - you may not want
to drink lots of water.

Protein: Proteins are the building blocks of our bodies.
Without an adequate supply of quality protein, your body
will actually steal protein from itself to meet its basic
needs. This is a sure way to slow down the healing
process. There are probably 10,000 theories on which
are the best proteins and how much a person should get
each day.

In my opinion, a safe and healthy amount to shoot for is
3 to 7 grams per pound of body weight. For example,
a 100-pound person should get 30 to 70 grams of protein
per day.

A personal note: I do not eat soy anymore because it
has phytoestrogens, which are very bad for the man tool.
Phytoestrogens can also cause hormonal imbalances,
among a number of other bad things, in some women.

Instead, I eat proteins that come from the top of the
food chain. Most chickens peck the ground and eat grains,
dirt, and their own excrement. I only eat free-range beef,
lamb, and wild salmon.

My favorite protein source is fish - but never farm-raised.
Farm-raised fish swim around in their own excrement
and are fed man-made pellets fashioned out of who
knows what. In fact, farm-raised fish have a higher
Inflammation Factor (IF) than chocolate ice cream.

Fat: Fat is a critical component to a healthy diet.
The question, of course, is: Which fats should you be
eating? As a rule, anything that is hydrogenated or made
from corn, cottonseed, or soy is not going to help you at
all. This is also true of fats cooked at high temperatures.

I eat fats from fish, beef or lamb. I cook with butter and
coconut fat, which I highly recommend. It adds a
distinctive sweet flavor and tolerates higher temperatures
much better than most oils.

Carbohydrates: Yes, carbs are important. And, no, they
don't have to make you fat. You just need to know the
difference between simple and complex carbohydrates.
Simple carbs break down very quickly and are found in
soda, juice, and candy. They usually go under the names
"high fructose corn syrup" or "dextrose." Simple carbs
can cause an increase in inflammation. Complex carbs
break down much slower and are mainly found in whole
grains, legumes, and vegetables. Simple rule of thumb:
Anything white - rice, bread, etc. - is not likely to do
anything but fill your belly.

Fiber: If you are not getting at least 35 grams of fiber a
day, which very few people can do on a regular basis,
you will need to supplement.

If you don't eat it, supplement it!

That's my rule, and that's why I take all kinds of
supplements. If you don't get enough of the nutrients I
listed above from the foods you eat, then your only
choice is to use supplements to make up the difference.
Otherwise, your internal systems will try to steal these
nutrients from another part of your body - much the way
it does with protein, water, or calcium.

The supplement industry has grown tremendously over
the last decade as scientists have learned more about
what our bodies require to get healthy and stay healthy.
As a result of this research, new compounds have been
formulated and more are being found every year.
I encourage you to do your own research on each of
these products. Meanwhile, here's my quick-start guide:

Mutli-Vitamin/Mineral: I recommend that you take a
complete multi-vitamin. Because vitamins and minerals
work together, there needs to be synergy between them.
For example, calcium needs magnesium, vitamin A needs
vitamin B, vitamin B needs C, and so on. They all work
together, each doing the job the other cannot; and each
supplying the body what the other does not.

Having said that, I believe it is best to take a multi in
liquid form because of something called "bioavailability".
This simply means that the amount of a substance the
body can utilize is higher via a liquid than it is by way of
a capsule or tablet.

Colon Cleanser: Since it's so hard to get 35 grams of
fiber a day from food, one tablespoon of supplemental
fiber daily in juice is the answer. It has been said that if
you only poop one time a day, you have up to eight meals
left over in your colon. This is not healthy for a number of
reasons, not the least of which is the pressure on your
spine.

Digestive Enzymes: Do you ever feel as if you're in a
coma after lunch - like your body is working overtime on
your meal? A full-spectrum digestive enzyme will help
break down your lunch and improve your digestion,
making the nutrients in your meal more readily available
to your body.

Systemic Enzymes: Systemic enzymes are different
than digestive enzymes. Systemic enzymes work outside
the gut and are proteolytic, meaning they break down
proteins. They also work on excess fibrin and scar tissue
throughout the body, improving blood flow and removing
any metabolic wastes, which will minimize inflammation
and pain.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin: These two sulfates
are found naturally in the body. Glucosamine comes
from amino sugar, and it helps in the formation of
cartilage at the joint. Chondroitin is what gives cartilage
its elasticity. Both of these have been studied extensively,
and they show a great deal of promise. What is important
is the dosage, which should be based on your body weight.

Time to do your homework

I have only scratched the surface of how nutrition and
supplements can help you. It's now up to you to educate
yourself further on this topic. I've given you some basic
information, so you will at least have a good idea of what
to look for.

Remember that in order to perform at its peak or to
overcome an injury, your body has to work much harder.
It will also have higher nutritional requirements as it tries
to heal itself and overcome the symptoms of chronic
inflammation. Those requirements will depend on your
specific condition.

your Back Pain, we suggest you read the latest copy of

Why you need a long-term/short-term fatloss plan

Hello Friends,

----------------------------------------------

Think Long-Term AND Short-Term
When It Comes To Fatloss
By Jon Benson
----------------------------------------------

Want to know one of the biggest mistakes
folks make when setting fatloss goals?

Other than NOT setting fatloss goals? : )

Thinking either too short or too long.

Let me explain. This will make perfect
sense to you in a moment.

My style of fatloss dietary planning is
called "power-burst"... it's the style you
will read about in "Every Other Day Diet"
and "Radical Fatloss Blueprint."

This is just a nickname. Don't look for the
actual term "power-burst" in the books...

... anyway, the principle is so simple yet
almost never used.

Here's the secret:

1. Arm yourself with a solid, enjoyable,
life-long fatloss program. This is one that
you will actually 'do'... and yes, EODD is
one that anyone can actually do. ; )

2. But, just like a sprinter off the
blocks, also set a short-term "burst" goal:

Say 10 lbs in 20 days.

Why?

Because momentum is your best friend.

Once you see fatloss happening quickly you
tend to keep going.

From there it is a lot easier to accept a
more reasonable long-term fatloss schedule
(say, 1.5-2 lbs per week).

But how many books tell you this?

None that I know of... except mine. Ha.

And why?

Because most diet-gurus are too damn
conservative, that's why.

Pardon my German.

"You should never shoot for more than a
pound per week," they say.

B.S. I say.

And I proved it. You should see the
before/afters in just 21 days on "Radical
Fatloss"... stunning.

You need that "power-burst" to get you
going. Get you motivated. Get you ready for
a lifetime of fatloss.

From there you transition into your
lifestyle plan... one that incorporates
your favorite foods several times a week.

One that you, your spouse, and even your
kiddos can follow.

One that you will actually 'want' to do.

That's not all...

... from there, you CYCLE the two plans.

Two, three or at most four times per year
you BURST... then you STRIDE.

Burst with faster fatloss... stride with
slower, but steady, long-term fatloss.

If you go to the page below you can see and
read more about it:

http://vur.me/jorma/EODD <-- watch/listen/read

Friend, let me be honest with you:

I am so personally proud of this system I
could burst!

I know... that may sound 'arrogant'... but
I don't mean it that way.

I just love receiving the mounds of
testimonials from men and women, all
over the world, whose lives are now
totally changed.

When you shed bodyfat, you do a lot more
than change your body... you change your
entire life.

And trust me: That change is one you simply
must experience to believe.

Most of you have experienced it for brief
periods of time.

How would you like to feel it for the rest
of your life?

And why not?

You deserve nothing less.

So no more waiting.... go here:

http://vur.me/jorma/EODD <-- watch/listen/read

You'll thank me for it in a few weeks...

... and in a few years too.

Yours in Fitness,
Jorma Persson

PowerBurst Eating: Trick Your Body For Massive Fat Loss!

Hello,

Before I cover this technique, you must
first discover the 3 reasons dietplans
eventually fail you:

1. They are too strict
2. They do not have set "goal-points"
3. They do not vary the calories and nutrients

Any dietplan that's too strict
automatically invites failure.

It breaks the rules of PowerBurst Eating.

And it's not a bit of fun. No one will do
anything they do not enjoy for very long.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

There's a psychological reason for why "too
strict" equals "no thanks"...

The word "no".

When you tell yourself "no" all the time,
what do you think your brain tells your
body? --

"NO!"

Did you know this? --

"No" is the word we hear most often between
the time we are born and the age of 7.

These are the brain's formative years.

"No" is such a negative word that you have
unknowingly created an anchor to the word "no".

An anchor is something that triggers an old
memory or feeling.

You know... like an old song that takes you
back to high school or a scent that reminds
you of a lover or friend.

But "no" brings to mind pain, depravation,
and not getting what you want.

So you need a dietplan built around saying
"yes"... and built around freedom.

----------------------------------------------------

PowerBurst Strategies To The Rescue

----------------------------------------------------

I want you to think of a sprinter.

Toned, athletic, powerful.

Most people would never link sprinting to
a dietplan.

And I'm certainly not suggesting you take
up sprinting. But I am suggesting that you
apply the secrets of the sprinter to your
dietplan.

The secret is in a BURST of powerful focus
and concentration followed by moderation
and rest.

All progress involves what I have named
"goal-points." These are mental milestones.
Cross them, rest, and start again.

Perhaps you saw Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt
shatter the 100-meter dash world record.

Bolt had a goal-point: 100 meter. Pretty
straight-forward.

But after the goal-point was reached, did
he keep on running?

Nope... he slowed down and walked.

He reached his goal-point successfully.

I've seen sprinters practice for years.
They burst (run hard)... hit their
goal-point... walk back (less exercise but
still moving), rest, then start again.

This is the key to your dietary success
when it comes to permanent fatloss

You need a dietplan that has goal-points
built into the structure.

So structured and doable that you do not
even have to think about it.

This type of dietplan is one where you have
a fixed window to eat more strict and get
rid of bunches of bodyfat followed by times
when you "walk back"... eating loose.

Eating different foods. Even eating your
favorite foods.

----------------------------------------------------

One PowerBurst Technique: Stagger
Everything!

----------------------------------------------------

You've probably heard about carb-rotation.
This is a form of PowerBurst Eating. You
eat fewer carbs for a couple of days then
more on the third.

But if you want to really trick your body
into dumping megapounds of bodyfat, you
have to be more savvy.

Stagger everything.

Calories, protein, carbs, fats... and even
the types of food you consume.

Your body quickly adapts to anything you
feed it. When you feed it too much junk,
you get over-fat.

But if you starve it, guess what?

You get over-fat.

And if you eat the same "healthy" dietplan
all the time?

Same thing: "Over-fat". This is due to
adaptation.

Our bodies have been molded to adapt very
quickly. This is crucial to our survival.
This is not a fault... this is an advantage.

Think about a hunter 10000 years ago.

Do you think he or she ate the same thing
every day? Hardly. Hunters ate mostly lean
proteins, fatty proteins, plants and wild
fruits and nuts.

But occasionally they feasted. When the
weather was right they ate more carbs and
less protein.

Now if you just did this on your own you
may find it challenging, but I have
simplified the process.

You automatically end up staggering your
calories and your nutrients.

Eating the same number of calories every
day leads to dietary death.

The body quickly adjusts and goes into
"starvation mode"... and that is the end of
your success.

This is the way our bodies are designed
to function.

You have to trick your body into thinking
this never happens, when in reality you are
eating less food overall.

Yet you never feel deprived.

You do that by PowerBursts: Days of eating
more of specific foods, even "junk" foods,
and days of eating less...

... but not just "fewer calories." That
would be too boring.

Using the PowerBurst principles, Jon created
two books that have helps thousands drop
the bodyfat:

Shed up to 21 lbs in 21 days...

that's the BURST.

Then you ease up... go lifestyle, and still
burn far more bodyfat than any traditional
dietplan.

What's great is that you can (and must!)
include your favorite foods to make this
all work.

It is so easy a child could do it.

In fact, kids actually love it.

Surprise results: University study on super-short workouts

Topic: Study Confirms Brief Workouts Are Best


Hi,

So here's the million-dollar question:

"What's the number one reason
people don't work out?"

Is it lack of money? Lack of motivation? Perhaps
they lack the ideal workout plan?

Nope. It's TIME. Or rather the lack thereof.

"We know that 50 per cent of the population doesn't
[exercise] and the most commonly cited barrier to
exercise is lack of time." This quote comes from
exercise researcher Martin Gibala, a kinesiology
professor at McMaster University in Hamilton.

Gibala put his theory to the test in a study that was
published in the Journal of Physiology. In it Gibala
compared a group who exercised "traditionally" --
90 to 120 minutes per day -- with another group
exercising far less: Only 20 minutes per day and
only three days per week.

That's a whopping one hour per week folks. Jon
Benson's 7 Minute Muscle plan calls for five workouts
with resistance five days per week plus 9 minutes of
a specific cardio protocol two-three days per week.

If you do the math, that's about an hour per week
as well.

This is the "Level 1" workout. There are three levels
depending on your goals and exercise tolerance.

Find out more here --

7 Minute Muscle <--- brief is best!

Back to Gibala's study:

In just two weeks both groups showed improvement
in both exercise performance and oxygen uptake.
(Remember, fat burns in the presence of oxygen.)

The kicker is that both groups were almost identical
in their improvement. Why? Because the brief
exercise group trained with greater focus and more
intensity -- exactly how I suggest you train.

This is just one of dozens of studies that confirm
the benefits of shorter but more intense workouts.

However, there is a catch: Train too hard and you
will shut down your fat-burning furnace.

Your body perceives over-exertion done over an
extended period of time as a sign of pursuit. It can
trigger an ancient hormonal sequence that says,
"I'm being chased by a tiger! Horde the fat!"

The body literally shuts down what it considers to
be unnecessary activity in favor of self-preservation.
And guess what? Burning off those hips and love
handles is not a biological necessity.

You have to learn when to hit it hard AND when
to rest and recover.

Finally, you have to put yourself into the proper
mental state in order to see greater results in
the shortest period of time.

Jon devote an entire chapter to that in "7 Minute
Muscle." You can read more here --

7 Minute Muscle <--- brief is best!

Just remember these three key points:

1. Time is the greatest barrier to fitness.
2. Workouts can be short and very effective.
3. The body goes where the mind directs.

Until next time, train smart.

Sincerely,

Jorma Persson

brother's all-time best-selling fitness book
"Body For Life" in your local bookstore.

Shawn left this comment on a blog about
7 Minute Muscle....

"Jon,

"I have to admit I'm not done taking in all of
7 Minute Muscle but what I've covered so far
I love and totally agree with.

Your argument parallels what I teach in Strength-
for-Life, that the secret to an effective workout is
Intensity--not volume. Or to put it another way, it's
about "quality of quantity".

A deep bow to you for this contribution to the
collective wisdom of fitness truth!"
