Dear Stubborn Fat, we’re DONE (for real this time)
Dear Stubborn Fat,
I’m done.
I just can’t take this anymore.
Look, I don’t want to hurt your feelings. It’s been a long
relationship, but it’s over. It’s gotta be over. Please
don’t look at me like that..I hate to see you cry.
I Just Lost 11 lbs of Bodyfat… On Vacation!
It was the weirdest thing …
I mean, I’ve been around you know? I’ve had just about every body and fatloss experience you can think of… the good, the bad, the ugly…
… and now the really bizarre.
Here’s the story:
I took off on an 8-day cruise to the Caribbean. This was a “business” cruise (yeah, right)… and I knew there was no way to eat the way I prefer to eat. At least not ideally. After that I had to speak in Tampa Florida at a fitness summit, then off to Las Vegas for yet another summit meeting.

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:
30Dec2009 | lewis | 0 comments | Continued3 Unusual Tips to Build Bigger Arms
Yes, I know this sounds crazy since squats and deadlifts don’t directly work your arms (except for the grip and forearm strength needed to deadlift heavy weights)… but it’s true that regularly performing heavy squats and deadlifts can indirectly help to make your arms bigger and stronger.
The reason is that heavy squatting and/or deadlifting forces the body to release muscle building hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone depending on the resistance level, rep range, rest period, etc.

I’ve been reading a really great book this week. With the hours I work, I’m only able to read so much per day, but I’m loving every page.
It’s always fun to see someone actually dare say out loud what many suspect and many know but mindfully suppress from common knowledge.
What I am talking about, is Mike Geary’s new Fat Burning Kitchen e-book.
Most of the things on his “do not have in the house” lists I already do not have in the house. The reasons have been either explained in other books (partially) or the information gathered from here and there on the Internet.
15Oct2009 | lewis | 0 comments | ContinuedA type of Trans Fat that makes you leaner?
We all know that trans fats are horrible for your health right? But what if I told you that there is a specific type of trans fat that’s natural (not man-made) and actually helps you to lose fat faster and build lean muscle?
Well, check out the excerpt from my new program that I co-authored called “The Fat Burning Kitchen” http://fatburningkitchen.atozfitness.com below:
“…Not many people know this fact, but CLA is actually a natural form of trans fat, but it is FAR different than the artificial trans fats from hydrogenated oils that are so deadly and that you hear all of the negative information about. CLA is actually one of the only healthy trans fats in existence.

There is absolutely nothing worse than being hungry (well, being tired, sick, and stressed are all pretty up there), but hunger just takes the cake – no pun intended
Just a short time ago I had my business partner Jeff over for dinner. We had a delicious healthy meal, all cooked by yours truly (with a little help from my husband).
8Sep2009 | lewis | 0 comments | Continuedthe 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?
Your 5-Minute Fat Loss Shake
[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ]
Protein shakes are a dime a dozen. However a high-quality protein drink that is both homemade and nutritious is a rare find. Most protein drinks today have traveled the path of least resistance [...]
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.
