Here's 12 Sneaky Drinking Tricks

SNEAKY DRINKING TRICKS

First and foremost, people don't realize that what they
drink is the first step in losing weight. In fact, most
people don't know that when they feel hungry, they
may actually be dehydrated and they are really thirsty,
not hungry. Water is your best friend. 70% of your
body weight is nothing but water. This is also why water
plays an important role in weight control. So…

TRICK #1:

Drink ice water. Yes, you know that you need to drink
about 8 glasses of water per day for your body to burn
fat and flush toxins out of your system. But a study
from Germany revealed that ice water is more rapidly
absorbed by the body and increases your metabolic
rate by as much as 30% for 2-3 hours. Have a large
glass of ice water as soon as you get out of bed in the
morning and it will fight your body’s dehydrated state
from the last 6-8 hours and jolt your metabolism out
of its slumber to get a fat-dissolving start on your day!

TRICK # 2:

Drink hot cocoa. If you have a chocolate weakness, this
will not only help you survive…but burn more fat in the
process. Buy some unsweetened cocoa powder (not the
packaged hot chocolate garbage) and look for their
recipe on the back to make their version of cocoa. Use
nonfat milk and either a natural sugar substitute or a
half scoop of vanilla whey protein powder and cook it
up on the stove. You’ll get the satisfying shot of
chocolate along with muscle-feeding, fat-burning
protein and a megashot of healthy antioxidants.

TRICK #3:

Make your own soda pop. Soda is the absolute worst
thing you can put in your body…PERIOD! All sodas
are sweetened with lots of sugar, in fact, the worst
kind of sugar…high fructose corn syrup. The more
you can cut out of your diet the better. Also, diet soda
is still soda. It may not have as much sugar, but it has
other chemicals and components that are not good for
your body either. If you’re one of the bazillion
soda-addicts out there, make your own instead by
combining a small amount of fresh 100% juice with a
little bit of club soda or mineral water.

TRICK #4:

Replace fruit juice with fruit. Fruit juice isn't as healthy
as most people think it is. Juice actually has a lot of
sugar in it as well. If you are craving a glass of juice,
drink fresh fruit juice out of a juicer or better yet, just
eat the same kind of fruit instead. Like orange juice?
You’ll find a fresh orange even more satisfying believe
it or not. Plus, fresh fruit provides your body with much
needed fiber as well as better assimilation of vitamins
and minerals.

TRICK #5:

Drink your coffee. Not many people know that coffee
actually provides more antioxidants to the American
diet than any other food or beverage. That doesn’t
mean you should hook up an intravenous drip of
caffeine throughout the day (you shouldn’t have any
more than 500 milligrams a day) but just know that
coffee in moderation not only provides a pick-me-up,
but is also helping you to burn more fat and increase
your lifespan. For best results without the added
calories, drink it black. But here are some other coffee
tricks to help you lose more weight…

TRICK #6:

The healthy hot mochacino. If you’re one of those
sweet coffee drinkers and your forwarding address is
the corner Starbucks, you should know that you’re
getting over 600 calories in that Venti White Chocolate
Mocha. That’s like eating two big pieces of chocolate
cake! Instead, brew your own black coffee and add
unsweetened vanilla soy milk, and a scoop of either
vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder to it and
blend it gently in a blender. Microwave it back up to
steaming and you’ll get all the taste of the expensive
fattening commercial brand with a shot of
musclefeeding, fat-burning protein. Plus, the coffee
and cocoa tag team for a powerful boost of healthy
antioxidants.

TRICK #7:

The healthy frappuccino. Again, the goal isn’t to load
up on caffeine throughout the day but different people
drink at different times of the day and are drawn to
different types of coffee drinks. One other popular
brand is the iced, blended frappuccino that’s like a
coffee shake only again…loaded with the worst kind
of calories. As an alternative, spoon sugar-free, nonfat
vanilla yogurt in an ice cube tray and freeze it into
cubes overnight. Then add them to a blender with a
splash of fat-free milk or unsweetened vanilla soy milk,
a teaspoon of instant coffee crystals, and a scoop of
vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder. This will
taste so good that you’ll swear it isn’t good for you but it
is! If you want to cut down on the caffeine, just use
decaffeinated instant coffee instead

TRICK #8:

Drink a cup of coffee before exercising. If you’re a
caffeinated coffee drinker, the short burst of energy
you receive will help you get motivated for your
exercise session, decrease your feeling of fatigue during
your workout (so you can workout longer and easier),
and is mildly thermogenic to help you burn more fat.

TRICK #9:

Drink green tea. Green tea has been used as a medicine
in China for over 4,000 years. It aids the digestive
system and can help ease an overly full stomach and
it has been linked to a reduction in cancer risk. But for
weight loss, the main ingredient in green tea, EGCG,
maintains high norepinephrine levels in your body to
keep your metabolism revved up. One study published
in the Journal of Nutrition even reported that subjects
who drank green tea during their workouts lost
significantly more belly fat than those who didn’t. The
health and weight loss benefits of drinking green tea are
enormous and if you’re looking for optimum health and
a body to die for, drink green tea throughout the day.

TRICK #10:

If you drink alcohol, opt for dry red wine. Dry red wine
is better than your sweet wines, because sweet wines
have more sugar! Dry wines have sugar, but most of it
has been fermented away into alcohol and from a
weight gaining perspective, dry is better. Plus, dry red
wines contain certain antioxidants that are beneficial to
your health. My recommendation is a California Pinot
Noir. Not a wine drinker? Then…

TRICK # 11:

Drink beer. I know that the words “beer” and “belly”
don’t exactly make a great combination but animal
studies have shown that the bitter compounds from
the hops in beer have an anti-inflammatory effect on
the body and may help you lose more fat. The key
is to not have more than one bottle per day for this to
work and dark beers will contain more of the active
compounds you’re looking for. And no...having all 7
beers on Saturday is not the same thing. In fact…

TRICK #12:

Avoid late night social drinking. After a few drinks,
most people get the munchies and when you're
feeling a little inebriated and hungry you won't be
able to make rational decisions regarding your diet.
Unfortunately this usually happens at night and your
body hates it when you overeat at night because
your metabolism slows way down while you sleep
and it will store all those extra calories around your
waist as body fat.

Happy drinking,

6 Ways to Spice Up Your Health

Many of us take spices for granted. We use them every now
and then to season our foods, but we don’t take into account
the wide array of benefits lurking in spice. You should be
adding spices into your food not just for the flavor
enhancements, but also for the healthy properties that
spices provide!

Here are six of the most important spices to include in
your diet:

Cumin

Cumin is a common spice in Mexican food. However, due to
cumin’s healthy property, it is important to figure out how
to add it to meals all the time. Cumin helps digestion and
bloating. It also has phytochemicals that allow the body to
produce enzymes that protect against diseases like cancer.

Garlic

Most people already consume garlic, as it is a common
ingredient in a wide variety of meals. However, no matter
how much garlic you are eating, you should probably consider
adding more to your diet!

Garlic is heart healthy and can lower cholesterol and blood
pressure. Recent studies have led scientists to believe that
garlic inhibits the growth of different cancers as well.

Saffron

Saffron is a spice that improves memory and also fights
cancer. It also a has beneficial impact on the eyes. It may
shield them from damage and prevent eye problems that
occur due to aging.

Turmeric

You are probably familiar with turmeric as it is used in many
Indian cooking. It is also undoubtedly one of the most
powerful spices. Turmeric has been shown to improve
memory and heart health.

There have been a variety of recent studies that have
advocated that the benefits of turmeric are rather
impressive. For example, The University of Missouri found
that curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) decreases
breast tumors. They also found that turmeric could reduce
breast cancer risk in women who use hormone replacement
therapies. Turmeric has also been shown to fight cancerous
polyps.

Ginger

Ginger contains powerful antioxidants. It works remarkably
well in treating nausea. Ginger is also believed to help with
arthritis pain.

Rosemary

Rosemary is a common Thanksgiving spice, but truly it should
be used year-round. Scientists have found that if you add
rosemary to ground beef, it reduces dangerous chemicals that
may cause cancer. Rosemary also hosts anti-inflammatory
properties that boost immunity. It has also been shown to
have a special antioxidant, which protects brain cells from
free radical damage. This property can fight diseases such
as Alzheimer’s.

The trick is to have a lot of spices on hand and experiment
to adding them to all your meals. You may find flavor
combinations that you love, which you may never have even
thought of. Some of these spices, like garlic, ginger, and
turmeric, are even available in supplement form.

Happy cooking,
Jorma Persson

Want to get to Vince Del Monte's wedding?

Hi,

LOL... I'm Hi,LOL... I'm not kidding around. I just spoke
to my good friend, Vince Del Monte and he's running the
coolest contest I've heard of in a long time...All the
information is explained by his fiance, Flavia, and him,
in a short video on his website:

Vince Del Monte's Wedding

Flavia comes from a family of 16 sibling (all from the same
parents) and Vince is Italian so he has a pretty big family
too. I guess all of his family and friends want to "look hot"
for their wedding so Flavia and Vince created a DVD and a
program that they will use to get ready for their wedding
and that YOU can use to get super sexy and ripped for
summertime.

This is not even the best part...

1. They are going to be having quite the feast - a feast that
many people in the world never get to experience so
they are donating 50% of the profits to the Canadian
Food Bank!

2. They are having a 8-week transformation contest, that
ends June 13 and they are inviting the top transformation
student, plus their guest to their wedding!

All the details are in this short and entertaining video:

Vince Del Monte's Wedding

This was way too cool not to mention to you, especially if
you're a Vince Del Monte fan! Here is your chance to party,
celebrate and get your picture with him on his wedding day
with his beautiful wife-to-be, Flavia.

3. In terms of the program... Vince told me that it includes
weight training, cardio and nutrition guidelines for men
and women andfor any experience level.

Vince is using it to fill into his suit and get six-pack abs.
Flavia isusing it to get her arms defined and her stomach
completely flat and firm. You can count on the info being
his best - I don't think Vince would use a non effective
program for the biggest day of his life!

Check it out... the price is affordable for everyone because
he wants to raise a lot of money for the Food Bank and
give a lot of people the chance to enter the contest.

Good luck.

If you've been struggling to get flat, sexy abs and burn belly
fat with traditional workouts, then you are going to love these
5 weird abdominal exercise and diet tips.

Over the last 13 years as a trainer and athlete, I've been
studying every expert and research study I can find about
the best way to get flat abs.

Today, you'll discover 5 weird tips you might not know when
it comes to getting a flat stomach and firm abs.

#1 - The best interval training work-to-rest ratio for losing
belly fat might be 1-to-1.5.

In an Australian study, researchers found that doing intervals
for 8 seconds followed by 12 seconds of rest resulted in
significantly more belly fat burning than long slow cardio.

Now I know that 8 seconds on and 12 seconds off sounds a
little annoying (just try doing that on a machine), but the good
news is that these researchers found that going for 24 seconds
followed by a 36 second rest works just as well for boosting fat
burning hormones.

#2 - Dr. Chris Mohr's #1 weird diet tip is...

I just finished up a fat loss nutrition interview with Dr.
Mohr and he told me that his simple, yet slightly weird #1 diet
tip for fat loss is...

"Get almost all of your carbohydrates from fruits and
vegetables."

I really liked that tip because I've been telling people this for
years, and it's part of the Fat Loss Foundation you'll discover
in my Simple Nutrition manual & DVD.

#3 - You need to be able to do a Plank exercise for 2 minutes.

Dr. Stuart McGill, the world's leading expert on low back
health, says in his book that a person with fit abs should be
able to do a plank exercise for 2 minutes straight.

If you can't do the plank for 2 minutes, then you need to lose
belly fat and you need to get an abdominal workout DVD
program that works your abs properly.

Here are the best abdominal exercises DVDs you can get:

Nutrition plan

#4 - New research shows that supersets training burns more
calories than traditional straight set resistance training.

And that's exactly what you'll get in every short, burst exercise
workout.

The short, burst superset programs save you time (getting
you done in half the time of a traditional resistance workout)
while helping you burn more fat.

#5 - To see your abs, a man will need to be close to 10% fat
and a woman will need to be at about 16% fat.

Of course, the more muscle you have, the easier it will be too
see your abs, so you'll still be able to see a 4-pack on muscular
guys when they have 12-13% fat.

But the bottom line is that you need to use the Simple
Nutrition plan combined with the short, burst exercise
workouts to burn belly fat to see your sexy abs.

BONUS Tip - A great way to work your abs harder than
normal planks is the Stability Ball Plank.

Research reported in Men's Health magazine reported this
exercise to be 30% harder on your abs than a regular plank.

And last Friday I used an interesting technique with this
exercise that caused my abs to be sore for days. But that's
another story for another weird abdominal exercise article -
coming soon!

Remember, for the best flat abdominal exercises and belly
fat burning circuits, you need the TT for Abs Home Exercise

Downright SNEAKY fat-burning tricks you don't know...

Let's face it my friend...

...fat doesn't fight fair. If it did life would be super-
easy... at least weight-control would be, right?

Well... no such luck. Fat is nasty stuff. It hangs on for dear
life.

Listen: I know this struggle first-hand. I've dealt with the
most stubborn bodyfat you can imagine in my battle to stay
lean...

... and I had to get "sneaky" in order to keep fooling my body
to burn-off the bodyfat.

You do too.

So read this email carefully... I'm about to reveal one of my
sources for "sneaky tricks" to shed your bodyfat...

But first: Let's have a reality check, cool?

Ask yourself this question: "What is it going to take me to
finally see the rapid body transformation all those reality
shows and infomercials promise?"

You may be tempted to think, "Some killer fatttburning pill!"
or "That newfangled gadget So-and-So is selling!"...

But that's not the answer (besides, that stuff is pricey...)

Here's the reality-check answer:

(NOTE: Read this and picture the voice of Rocky's trainer...
that old, grumpy dude grunting in Rocky's corner... )

"...ya gotta get MEAN!"

"...ya gotta fight DIRTY!"

"...ya gotta get downright "SNEAKY"!

(Now my voice is horse... ; )

FACT: I don't care how much time you spend on the treadmill
or how many grapes you counted out for lunch.

The REAL SECRET to losing your bodyfat quickly and
permanently is in the "little things" you do throughout your day.

What I like to call the "sneaky" things.

====================================

For example, did you know...

====================================

* That a simple twist to your morning routine can
INSTANTLY jumpstart your metabolism and boosts
fatburning by as much as 30%!

* There's an amazing "super food" that in one clinical
study, dissolved away more than 10 extra fat-lbs in 12
weeks...WITHOUT superdieting or any other lifestyle
changes!

* That Japanese researchers unlocked a strange biological
trigger that tricks the brain into REDUCING blood sugar
and short-circuiting fat storage...while you watch TV!

* And that there's an amazing "bedroom trick" that can
actually shed more bodyfat while you and your partner...

(I'll leave out the details in case the kiddos are reading
over your shoulder... : )

You see, while so many men and women are out there taking on
monster fatburning programs and struggling to follow every
little detail, there are actually several "little things" you
can do RIGHT NOW that can have an even BIGGER IMPACT
on your waistline.

These simple, sneaky little things are like instant "fat-
bombs"... little secret weapons you can pull out and use in
your personal fat-fight.

I love these little suckers! For years I wanted to collect a
sample of these and put them in a book... but I never got
around to it.

But my buddy Jeff Anderson did.

He put together the SIMPLEST, EASIEST, FASTEST and
yes...SNEAKIEST tips, tricks and tactics you can use RIGHT
NOW with ANY fitness program (especially Every Other Day
Diet)
to achieve better and FASTER results than ever before!

====================================

Here's the deal...

====================================

A few years ago I met Jeff Anderson at an event.
Jeff has been described as a "mad scientist" ... a guy who is
ALWAYS looking for that new trick, extra-mile technique, or
just really cool tip for burning-off those stubborn lbs of
bodyfat.

Jeff is the real deal. He's a family guy so a lot of his
sneaky tips work for kids as well.

Anyway... Jeff just launched a brand new website that's pulled
together a ton of the most cutting edge scientific
advancements in fatloss all in one location.

Here's the website but I have to warn you...

...do NOT buy from this site (I'll tell you WHY in a second):

http://101sneakyweightlosstips.com/ Look but don't buy.

I'm only showing you that page to you so you can see that
right this minute Jeff's 101 Sneaky Fat-melting tips is being
sold for just $47... to the public.

Not to you. You're members of my reading list and believe it
or not (ha!) that buys you clout... discounts... cool stuff.

So how about this...

...17 FREAKING DOLLARS!

My list only.

But ONLY FOR THIS WEEK (3 more days as of the time of my
writing this blog...)

====================================

You can jump on this NOW at:

SneakyWeightloss <-- $17 Special Offer Page

====================================

Look: This is NOT some "massive marketing campaign" where
you will get a ton of other emails from a boatload of other so-
called "gurus" about this.

This is ONLY for YOU, my readers...

...and ONLY for this week. No joke about that. Jeff and I are
buddies so he cut me the thirty-buck discount. (No, I don't get a
dime for working the deal... but if that bothers you for
any reason at all feel free to click-on the full-price page. I'm
a buddy of Jon Benson too and he's the guy who make
a few bucks from this... ; )

SO: This offer goes bye-bye this weekend and I'm not going to
get another chance to show it to you at this "no-brainer" deal.

You can ONLY get this on a special page that Jeff put up for
you so make sure you DON'T use the previous pagelink.

Use THIS ONE instead...

I love it because this is used in the Every Other Day

Do You Want a Firm Butt & Lean Legs?

Want to know the best exercises to firm up your butt?
Want the best interval training programs to burn fat from your legs?

Good, because I've got them here for you today! All thanks to
Women's Health magazine contributor, Craig Ballantyne (he's also
designed workouts for Shape, Prevention, and Muscle n Fitness
Hers).

Back in 2004 Craig created a program called "Booty for Life" for a
personal client. And while that program was awesome, he spent an
entire week last month improving the workouts AND adding a brand
new 4-week fat burning, butt-firming phase to the program...

...and he renamed it, "Booty for Wife (& all the single ladies!)".

Why did he rename and redo the program?

Well, the original name was bit of a joke, and it was a little too
close to "Body for Life", and Craig didn't want anyone (i.e. Bill
Phillips) to get upset when his Booty program got really popular. So
he made a simple little name change...now he just has to hope that
Beyonce doesn't sue him!

But seriously, and more importantly, Craig updated the original
program and added 3 new workouts & some booty-building
exercises to the plan, including:

- Lateral lunges
- 1-leg bodyweight deadlifts
- dumbbell lunges
- kettlebell swings
- dumbbell deep step-ups
- 1-leg bodyweight bench squats

Those go with all of the other booty exercises in the program,
including split squats, 1-leg hip extensions, regular step-ups, and
reverse lunges.

And Craig subbed in more bodyweight exercises so you don't need
to use dumbbells as much for the rest of the workouts. Some of the
new exercises you'll get are:

- Stability Ball Cross-Body Mountain Climber (great for abs/obliques)
- Close-Grip 3/4 Rep Pushups (awesome for sculpting your triceps)
- Stability Ball Pike (for hard-core abs)

Plus, you'll get SIX different fat burning interval training
programs, and interval training has been shown to reduce thigh fat
in research studies.

Whew. There's a lot in there for you, and to celebrate the re-release
of Booty for Wife, I've asked Craig to put together an amazing
special offer just for you.

You'll get all of these for free...

1) The TT Booty for Wife (& all the single ladies) 12-Week Program
2) The TT Female Bodysculpting 4-Week Workout
3) 30-Days in the TT Member's Website & Forum
4) The TT for Hot Chicks 4-Week Workout
5) The TT Hard-Core 4-Week Workout

...when you get your half-price copy of the Turbulence Training for
Fat Loss Program for only $19.95.

(That's $10 less than if you were to buy Booty for Wife on its own!)

So you could get Booty for Wife for $29.95 or you could get Booty
for Wife plus Turbulence Training plus all of those other bonuses
all for only $19.95.

I think that's an easy choice, don't you?

Click here to get this amazing special offer today:

Plenty of time to sculpt that booty before you hit the beach on your
next holiday.

Yours in fitness,
Jorma Persson
