So another new year is upon us.
Untold numbers of people are "resolving" to win the battle of the bulge this year.Some people are actually laying out a solid plan based on exercise and nutrition.Others are going to go on yet another fad diet.
Even worse, lots and lots of soon to be disheartened folks will be turning to the latest miracle pill they've seen on TV or the Internet.It's sad really.The marketing for these pills gets cranked up to full blast now that it's January. These far less than reputable companies know how desperate people are. And they certainly know how much greater that desperation becomes in January.
Look, you and I know better. We know that the only way you're going to Kung Fu that fat off your belly, butt, hips and thighs is to eat right and exercise.Know what else is sad?Once people come to grips with the fact they've been ripped off over and over by these "miracle" diet pill companies, oftentimes they'll refuse to listen to reason about nutritional products that have actual benefits.
For instance, did you know that Essential Fatty Acid products help promote fat loss through the stabilization of blood sugar levels?And that they may also help regulate mood, improve heart health and decrease joint pain?
If people are looking for a pill to take - one that is actually based on research - they should strongly consider adding an Essential Fatty Acids product to their diet.
I'm asked all the time what I use and it's Prograde's EFA Icon (you can read more about it here: http://lbsofffitness.getprograde.com/icon )
Again, I know you're to smart to fall for the gimmicks, but if you know of anyone trying a diet pill this January, please tell them to get real. They'll be better off for it.
Yours in health,

PS - Again, if you're looking to add a great Essential Fatty Acid product to your diet be sure to check out Prograde's EFA Icon. It's the best out there.

Breakfast is Boring
This morning I was sitting in front of my computer struggling to come up with a catchy title for this. I was thinking - yet again - about stressing the importance of breakfast to you.
So as I sat there trying to be clever I mumbled out loud, "Breakfast is boring."
And there you have it. That's exactly how I came up with this title. But do NOT take this message lightly.
You see, I know you're heard it a million times before. "You have to eat breakfast." And I know it's not a super sexy message. But do you have any idea how many people I meet as a fitness professional that DO NOT eat breakfast? A lot. And do you have any idea how many of those people that don't eat breakfast are overweight? Pretty much all of them.
Look, I'm not crazy. I know you don't have much time in the morning. And I know many of you just aren't all that hungry right after you wake up.
So let's look at this another way. You get up each morning and go to work every day because you want a roof over your head and food on the table, right? Day after day after day you go to work because you want the RESULT of that effort.
Well, IF you want to burn fat, feel better and have more energy you WILL eat breakfast every morning. Period. End of discussion.
Some things are boring. Some things just have to be done to get the result you want. For those of you that want to burn fat all day long, breakfast is just one of those things.

Instantly Identify Online Scams
Nothing makes my blood boil like the Wt. Loss scams I see online. They drive me nuts.
Now it's bad enough they make absurd claims that are just flat out lies. But what takes the cake is the fact that nowadays they are fraudulently using the Better Business Bureau seal of approval to flat out trick you.
Can you believe that?!So how can you tell if that's the case?
Simple. If you see the BBB seal on a website and it does NOT hyperlink to the Better Business Bureau website (which is BBB.org) so you can review the company's history, then it is a fake. It is a scam. The people that have created that site are liars!
Legitimate companies like Prograde Nutrition lbsofffitness.getprograde.com go through the trouble of actually going through the process of getting approved by the Better Business Bureau. When you go to their website you'll see the BBB seal. And it is legit because it takes you to BBB.org to prove it when you click on the image.
The Internet can be a scary place. But there are good people and good companies doing business online. And now you know one more way to recognize them - AND the bad guys.

Bathing Suit Season Nightmares?
It's getting to be that time of year. Before you know it summer will be here. Heck, it's already Spring Break for some folks. Seems like just yesterday it was January 1st and everyone was making their New Year's Resolution. Well, hopefully YOU didn't because you know a flimsy "resolution" doesn't get you anywhere.
You know it takes much more than that. You know you need:
Written goals
A solid exercise program
Social support
Discipline
Patience
Sacrifice
A burning desire to succeed
Changes in your lifestyle
Education
Proper nutrition
In other words, you know you need to GET REAL about fat loss. You know it makes no sense to fall for the same old miracle promise or "easy" solution. Whether it's January 1st or Bathing Suit season doesn't matter. The proven approach to looking great on the beach is good old fashioned effort.
Look, in one way my life would be a LOT easier if I just lied to you and sold you a bunch of empty promises. Sure, it would make earning a living super easy. Most people are happy to spend their hard earned money on the latest miracle pill or potion. But I wouldn't be able to look at myself in a mirror. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. And that's why I'll never be the one to lie to you about what it takes to transform your body.
Do the right thing this Bathing Suit Season. Use it as a catalyst to really change your life. I'd be thrilled to help you. I'd love it if you'd place your trust in me and let me show you the right way to do things.
If you arm yourself with the right knowledge and approach this with a great attitude you'll NEVER have another Bathing Suit Season nightmare again.

The Evil Supplement Industry
As you probably already know, the supplement industry is filled with phonies.
They use shady manufacturing processes. They use cheap ingredients. Heck, sometimes they don't even use the ingredients they claim on the label!
And for awhile now I've been telling you about Prograde Nutrition. They are the real deal.
In fact, they've created a behind-the-scenes video that SHOWS you how they make their products. What other company does that?
Seriously, this is REALLY cool. You even get to see how they do micro-biological testing on the ingredients before they are even used. And if they don't pass their tests then they do NOT make it into the bottle.

Amazing Benefits of Krill Oil
There are all sorts of crummy supplements on the market you don't need. Some of the stuff is flat out junk. Some of the stuff is good, but the actual product and brand is lousy.
And then, there are some products that are just flat out awesome for you.
Bottom line: The health benefits associated with a quality Krill Oil supplement are just too powerful to ignore. I don't know if I can be any more blunt about it.
Besides the fact Krill Oil doesn't cause "fish burps" like fish oil capsules do, its just one of the best sources of Essential Fatty Acids.
Krill Oil can also:
Help protect your heart
Improve your memory
Strengthen your immune system
Minimize the damage caused by free radicals
Reduce joint pain and PMS symptoms
Aid the fat loss process
I'm telling you, it really is one heck of a powerful supplement. And the only brand I recommend is the brand I trust completely - Prograde Nutrition.
Their EFA Icon http://lbsofffitness.getprograde.com/icon is the best Krill Oil product on the market, as far as I'm concerned.

Fruits and Veggies Tips (Important)
It's recommended that we eat 6-10 fruits and vegetables a day. Here in the States it is reported the actual average of fruits and veggies eaten each day is just 2.
Yup, just 2.
Now, I don't know where you stand on this, but overall, it really is a sad state of nutritional affairs.
But do not despair! It's not that tough to get more fruits and veggies in each day.Here are some super simple tips to get you started:
1) Buy 'em pre-choppedLook, I can be lazy, too ;-) There's nothing wrong with not wanting to go through the hassle of having to chop up fruits and veggies. If you want to buy them pre-chopped go ahead. It's much better for you than not eating them.
2) Carry 'em with youLoad up a plastic baggie with your pre-chopped veggies and bring them to work. Seriously, see how easy this can be!
3) Add real fruit to your yogurtHave some yogurt for breakfast and add some fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. It's that simple!
Bonus tip: A great way to provide your body with the nutritional foundation you need each day is a Whole Foods based multi-vitamin.
