The High Protein Myth- Exposed Again
For years now I have been getting a lot of flak from other fitness industry insiders and so called experts because I exposed the great protein myth at every chance I got.
They all either thought I was insane or were upset that I was blowing the whistle on their scam and costing them tons of money every year.
But now, due to a recent study that everyone is talking about, people are starting to change their tune and realize what I have been telling you all along…
You DON’T need 2-3 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight to build muscle. It’s a lie promoted by the supplement and meat and dairy industry. That’s it.

Are you suffering from Portion Distortion?
A couple years ago I was definitely suffering from a condition that is not too commonly discussed, but does very often appear in many restaurants, parties and homes all over the world. Yes, you too may be suffering from this horrible condition and not even know it. What is this awful plague? It’s called: Portion Distortion, and it just may be what is holding you back from reaching your weight loss goals.
Does your diet have to be All or Nothing?
I definitely have many more supplements I want to cover in the next couple of newsletters but I just had to take a break from that series to cover a very important topic and question that I have received from many readers lately…
“Isabel, I don’t think I can implement every single principle in the Diet Solution Program all at once. Will I still lose weight? Will the program still work for me?”
First and foremost, I do have some good news…some great news actually.
Can you really survive at a restaurant?
If you are anything like me and 90% of most people, we all have one thing in common: we are always on the go! I know myself, my busy lifestyle and my traveling schedule sometimes requires me to surrender to a whole lot of restaurant eating and finding healthy options outside my own refrigerator.
But sometimes this is easier said than done. Lewis, I know you can relate.
the BEST cardio machines…
Set foot in any traditional gym across the country and you’ll find an endless array of different cardio machines… from treadmills to stationary bikes to stairclimbers to ellipticals.
A well structured cardio program obviously plays an important
role in any effective fat burning workout plan… but which
cardio machines are best and what criteria should we use to
determine which machines to focus on?
7 Minutes To Better Arms
Want better arms?
I have just the solution for you. It works
if you train in the gym.
However there’s a way to do it in-home…
but you will need dumbbells.
I discovered this technique recently and my
arms have really been improving.
Usually my biceps do not get that sore. My
forearms and shoulders get most of the work.
Sculpt a Better Body with Proper Post-Workout Nutrition
As you’ve probably heard before, your post-workout meal may very well be your most important meal of the day.
The reason is that when you’re finished with an intense workout,
you’re entering a catabolic state where your muscle glycogen is
depleted and increased cortisol levels are beginning to excessively break down muscle tissue. These conditions are not good and the only way to reverse this catabolic state (and promote an anabolic state) is to consume a quickly digestible post-workout meal (can be a shake or smoothie) as soon as you can after training.
DIET, It’s a Dirty Word
Lose the word “diet” from your vocabulary!
According to Miller Jones, a professor of nutrition and food science at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota…
4th graders are aware of the word diet, especially the girls.
One of the world’s largest study of weight loss has shown that diets do not work for the vast majority of slimmers and may even put lives at risk.

The TRUTH About Empty Stomach Cardio
Over the weekend I hit the gym with my buddy John for a morning cardio workout.
Now, I say “cardio”, but really it was a metabolic resistance training session.
If you’re unfamiliar with the term, the simple definition for metabolic resistance training is “cardio with weights”. We’ll cover this more in detail in another update so as not to get too off topic.
So we’re about 10 minutes into the workout and John looks like he’s in pretty bad shape (despite being in really GOOD shape). So I asked him what the deal was.
“I didn’t eat anything for breakfast.”
Me: Why the heck not?

Swedish Weight Loss Secret + Download Turbulence Training Bodyweight Workout
For years I’ve been yelling and screaming about the importance of online
social support (i.e. having Internet weight loss buddies).
And finally, after all these years, the Swedes have proven this weight loss
secret (and no, it’s not just “eat fewer Swedish meatballs”).
Researchers at the world famous Karolinska Institute wanted to find out why
some men and women succeed at weight loss while others don’t.
Foods That are Promoted as Healthy, But are not in Reality
Just yesterday, I was at the grocery store (supermarket) and had to shake my head at all of the clever deceptive labels with everything claiming all sorts of things that are supposedly “healthy”, but aren’t really. This is food marketing deception at it’s worst.
One of the things I noticed over and over that really disturbed me was that I saw several examples of healthy foods in their natural state, but I saw counterfeit overly processed versions of these original foods claiming that they were healthier than the natural version.
How To Determine If You Are a Hardgainer + Free e-book Shape up Now
The popular definition of a hardgainer is a person that works out hard with weights but has a hard time putting on muscle. Six weeks of working out can go by and no significant changes in muscle size are noted other than perhaps a bit of an increase in muscle tone.
According to this popular definition of a hardgainer, all of us are “hardgainers” because for the most part, putting on muscle is not an easy endeavor. The easiest period to gain muscle is during puberty. After that, gaining muscle becomes progressively harder as we age due to the fact that hormonal production starts declining between the ages of 25 and 30.
4 Foods for More Fat Loss
What foods should I eat for maximum fat loss? This is a common question that I get from clients and friends.

Let me help. Here’s a look at foods that you should eat to maximize fat loss. These foods are listed in no particular order because they are all important.
Doberman Dan Barks Bench Press Pyramiding Bites!
“How You Can Add Up TO 50 Pounds To Your Bench Press IMMEDIATELY By NOT Pyramiding!”
From my very introduction to the Iron Game over 20 years ago, (geez, that makes me sound old!) all of the literature, books, and courses I’ve read or followed advocated “pyramiding” your weights on the basic exercises.
If you don’t know what “pyramiding” is, here’s an example using the bench press:
Set 1: 12 reps with 135 lbs.
When is it OK to eat Sugar?
One of two things happens when you even mention the word Sugar…people either jump up for joy, salivating for their next sugar fix or they go running in the opposite direction and avoid it like the plague (Hmm Lewis, which one are you?)
The sugar lovers, well, they just love their sugar and would probably sprinkle it on broccoli if that was socially acceptable. While others are so afraid of it they are even scared to eat foods like bananas, carrots and onions because of their high sugar content..huh?
