The Mysterious Little Round Pseudo-Grain Superfood: Quinoa
Although we have been telling you repeatedly that most grains such as wheat and corn are the worst things in the modern western diet, Quinoa is a great alternative that is not actually a grain. It’s a superfood seed that’s high in complete protein (unlike other grains which are usually incomplete protein), it’s gluten-free, and also has loads of other important nutrients.
Quinoa is making an appearance in grocery stores and restaurants these days, often as a substitute for rice and wheat, or in pilafs, stuffing, or as a breakfast.

How To Structure An Effective Fat Burning Routine
So much focus and attention is placed on the idea of “weight loss” and “losing weight” that most typical beginners seem to lose sight of the actual concrete goal of achieving a lean, defined and healthy body…
Here’s a hint…
It’s NOT a simple matter of “losing weight”.
In fact, let’s go ahead and remove the term “weight loss” from our fitness vocabulary altogether.
Why?
It’s because “losing weight” is NOT what you should be concerned with!
If you’re reading this article right now, then chances are that you’re looking to achieve at least one of the following goals…

let’s meet for coffee
The Ugly Side of Caffeine
Most coffee and tea contains a lot of caffeine. This is usually the primary reason people make coffee their drink of choice in the morning. Caffeine is a drug like any other and comes with a long list of side effects. Have you ever tried not having your coffee in the morning? Yeah, pass the Excedrin, right? The headache that comes on when you try and kick this habit can be brutal (just like with other drugs) and creating a dependency and addiction like this is harmful to the body.

4 Common But Useless Fattburning Exercises
I’m shocked that people still think sit-ups done the old-fashioned way actually work the abs. Even worse, most people have been fooled into believing this actually helps get rid of bellyfat.
Nonsense. Bellyfat is burned off when you have a good nutrition plan and through general exercise, not using exercises for the abs. Ab exercises are fine, but guess what?
I never train my abs more than 3-5 minutes. Today my ab workout took 3 minutes and 12 seconds to complete. And my abs are sore!
But without the nutrition plan, forget it… I’d never SEE my abs at all. I’d just have a nice wall of muscle with a bunch of flab covering it up.
The best nutrition plan for abs is my Every Other Day Dietplan, found here:

How to Avoid Over-training to Maximize Muscle Growth
Almost anyone that’s picked up a set of weights has or will experience symptoms of over-training at one point in there muscle building program. Over-training can lead to serious injury, chronic fatigue, and even muscle loss.
Over-training is very common amongst athletes and particularly bodybuilders, since they figure that training as much as possible is the fastest way to massive muscle gains.
This couldn’t be any further from the truth however…

How To Build Big Biceps
The “Guns.” The “Pythons.” “Thunder” and “Lighting.” The “Rockweillers.” There is no other muscle group that has earned more nicknames than when describing a bulging and huge set of bicep! Bulging biceps – every guy wants them. Count me in this group.
The days are far from gone when you walk into the gym and see 9 out of 10 guys doing bicep curls all at the same time with the same determination to add even ¼ inch to their biceps.

A big sets/reps MISTAKE that most make…
This is one of the biggest weight training mistakes I’ve seen over and over again with so many people over the years… it may seem obvious to some advanced trainees, but for most beginner/intermediate people, I’ve noticed that they make this mistake in the gym MOST of the time…
And that has to do with sets and reps, and the intensity that they are performed.
Let me explain…
What I’ve noticed is one of the main reasons for lack of progress in the gym is that most people are not performing their reps and sets to challenge their body enough. I’m not referring to rest period between sets either (although that is definitely part of the equation).

Muscle-shaping 101: 5 Tips (Part 1)
Ever heard of Rowdy Gains?
Rowdy was swimmer and Olympic gold-medalist in the 1984 Olympics.
But that’s not what made Rowdy special.
And certainly not what makes his story worth reading when it comes to muscle-shaping secrets.
Over the next few days I’m going to be sharing 5 Tips for putting on lean muscle. If you want to put on a 2 lbs or 20lbs of muscle, these 5 Tips will help you do it faster than ever.
Remember: Muscle burns calories at rest… the more lean muscle you have the less bodyfat you’ll have if you eat the way I suggest. It’s as simple as that.
Back to Rowdy Gains…

How to combat a Nasty Sweet Tooth
I can’t tell you how many times each week I get the same email. “Isabel, I am doing great on your plan, but every once in a while, I’m still craving sweets!”
I am no different. I especially remember when I was pregnant, not only was I a bit more tired, I also craved sweet foods a lot more than I ever had before (my baby must take after my husband in that department).
