The Best Body Fat Burning Exercise

Of all the exercises we have to choose from is there an exercise that specializes in burning body fat?

There really isn’t one specific exercise that burns fat, but there is a principle that you can apply that will allow you to burn the greatest amount of fat.

This means that any exercise that gets your heart rate going is a good exercise to burn… Continue

The Sugar-Free LIES

Some foods are labeled sugar free although they have as much sugar as a chocolate chip cookie. They just fail to include the actual word sugar on the ingredient list but instead USE glucose, fructose, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, dextrose, etc.

There are cookies being sold that says right on the front label, "sugar FREE, sweetened with fructose." That means "sugar free sweetened with sugar."

Then there are the sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, malitol, and glycerol… Continue

Calories In vs. Calories Out

To positively change the composition of your body (decrease fat, increase lean muscle) you have to know how to play the game of numbers. If you burn more calories than the calories you take in each day you will lose weight, this is called creating a caloric deficit. It is the only way to lose fat. If you do the opposite, take in more calories than what you burn, then you will gain weight.

Too much of anything gets stored as fat - even if you're eating nothing but healthy, supportive… Continue

Accelerate Your Metabolism

Eat a supportive meal every 3 to 3½ hours.

This routine has the tremendous power to rev up your metabolism. The more often you eat supportive foods throughout the day the easier it will be to burn fat. Why? Every time you eat your metabolism goes up! Supportive foods require more energy to be digested. This is called the “thermic effect” of food (calories used to digest food) and is part of the reason why, when you begin to eat the supportively you are going to feel like you are… Continue

The Cheat Meal

This is the preferred method for eating never-have foods without blowing your nutrition plan.

So if you’re eating six meals a day, seven days a week (for a total of 42 meals per week), then no more than four of those meals should be misses or cheats. If you can achieve 90% adherence — and anyone can, it doesn’t require extreme discipline — you can get the results you… Continue

Want Results Fast?

Recovery is the key!

While you will only be in the gym engaging in intense resistance exercise for less than one hour, it is what you eat in the 60 minutes before and the 30-45 minutes after that workout that can determine how effective all your hard work will be at moving you towards your goals.

Do you exercise on an empty stomach? What is your body using for fuel? Give up? Your body is using muscle protein for fuel because it doesn't have enough carbohydrates to burn. If… Continue

The Best Form of Exercise To Reshape Your Body
