		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">It&rsquo;s always fun to see someone actually dare say out loud what many suspect and many know but mindfully suppress from common knowledge.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">What I am talking about, is Mike Geary&rsquo;s new <a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://fatburningkitchen.atozfitness.com" target="_blank" title="(406 hits)"> Fat Burning Kitchen</a> e-book. </font> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Most of the things on his &ldquo;do not have in the house&rdquo; 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. However, nowhere have I come across a more interesting and informative way of getting the message across &ndash; I&rsquo;m tempted to say it&rsquo;s at times almost caustic, which makes for enjoyable as well as informative reading.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Everything goes &ndash; from the healthy pasteurized dairy products to the healthy soy, the necessary sports drinks and the fat-reducing light products and more. Hey, wait a minute, all that is crap! Blatant lies. And all cleared up very thoroughly and simply by Mike Geary.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">The good news is that Mike goes on to tell us what to make sure we do have in the house.&nbsp; </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Of course, I&rsquo;ve already known that some fats we have all been told are bad for us, really are good for the body, for the hormones, for fat loss! Mike explains the details behind this, in terms that we can all understand and remember so that we can pass on the information to friends and family. </font> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">The same goes for his chapters on nuts, dairy, butter, chocolate, teas &hellip; you know what? At the end of this, I wish I could go back to when I was a little girl in my grandmother&rsquo;s kitchen! She used all the healthy ingredients Mike Geary is telling us to use.&nbsp; And she only became sick when she changed for the foods that the media was telling her were better for us all. Coincidence? Hardly.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">How many of us have reached for those &ldquo;protein&rdquo; bars at the different stores and thought we were getting something healthy? Most, I&rsquo;m sure! Mike has a list of the best ones, as well as what to look for and avoid in others.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">After having emptied out your kitchen following Mike&rsquo;s recommendations at the beginning of the book, you&rsquo;ll get a shopping list to transform it into a healthy kitchen towards the end of the book. This will be a helpful list to many as it tells you to buy what the media is trying to tell you to avoid. Having read Mike&rsquo;s book, you now know better!</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Finally, Mike Geary outlines a 23-day plan for accelerated fat loss. That&rsquo;s just over 3 weeks. Seriously, we can all follow a plan for 3 weeks, no? Sure we can! Hey, Lewis and I have a 3-week deadline coming up, I do believe we&rsquo;ll give this a shot!</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">There are a few recipes scattered throughout the e-book, all of which I will be incorporating into my usual menus.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Verdana" size="2">This is a very condensed, highly informative book that I feel should be a staple in every fitness-minded person&rsquo;s collection. You can get your copy right here =&gt;<br />

<h3>
<p>Pigs In Space:<br />
The Truth About The Swine Flu</p>
</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img width="510" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/images/line.gif" /></p>
<p>THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU!!</p>
<p><strong><cite>Shocking News: <u>36,000</u> People Dead In The U.S. Due To The Flu!</cite></strong></p>
<p>Sounds scary, doesn&rsquo;t it? I mean, this whole Swine Flu makes you want to send every pig on earth into orbit.</p>
<p><strong>Pigs in Space!</strong></p>
<p>That&rsquo;s the answer man. Shoot &lsquo;em all up into the atmosphere. Let Ms. Piggy sort &lsquo;em out.</p>
<p>That bit of shocking news? It&rsquo;s true.</p>
<p>About 36,000 people have already died of the flu &mdash; last year.</p>
<p>And the year before.</p>
<p>And&hellip;. the year before that.</p>
<p>And so-on, and so-on.</p>
<p>Not the &ldquo;Swine&rdquo; flu &mdash; that&rsquo;s killed one person so far in the United States (an infant.)</p>
<p>The &ldquo;flu&rdquo; flu.</p>
<p>You know&hellip;. the FLU?  The pain-in-the-ass flu bug that you&rsquo;ve known about but never feared and panicked over since you were a kid?</p>
<p>Yeah&hellip; that flu.</p>
<p>36,000 a year in the U.S. alone.</p>
<p>How many media outlets are talking about <strong>this historical fact?</strong> Hardly any.</p>
<p>Just today I saw headlines in 4-inch type: &ldquo;FIRST AMERICAN SWINE FLU DEATH&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Now, I feel for the poor little baby who died. Do not get me wrong.</p>
<p>But can you not see the clear, unmitigated media hype here folks?</p>
<p>The media depends on sensationalism and hype to sell papers and advertising. Period.</p>
<p>And almost ever year, something like this comes along. A few years ago it was &ldquo;Bird Flu.&rdquo; Remember?</p>
<p>How many people do YOU know that were killed by the Bird Flu.</p>
<p>Uh-huh. Me too. Zilch.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s review:</p>
<p>36,000 a year die of the simple, plain-old flu.</p>
<p>And&hellip; we&rsquo;re supposed to freak out over the potential of a new strain?</p>
<p>Okay &mdash; here&rsquo;s what you can do to protect yourself from any strain of flu &mdash; and colds for that matter.</p>
<p>Ready? It&rsquo;s kinda complex, so be sure to take notes&hellip;</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>1. Wash your hands.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>2. Never touch your mouth before washing your hands.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>3. Eat a diet that is low in insulin response.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>4. Drink plenty of water.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>That&rsquo;s all.</strong></p>
<p>I know, very, very complex stuff&hellip; but&hellip; what can I say.</p>
<p>The only thing you may NOT being doing (most people are not) is eating a low-insulin diet. That&rsquo;s a diet that does not promote <strong>insulin resistance in the cells.</strong></p>
<p>The ideal diet for that is my <cite>Every Other Day Diet.</cite> Why?</p>
<p>Well, because I wrote it&hellip; that&rsquo;s why. ; )</p>
<p>Actually, because it allows you the foods you love every week, so you don&rsquo;t feel like you&rsquo;re on a diet all the time.</p>
<p>If you doubt the claims, just read about the results on my support blog.</p>
<p>Or get yourself a copy. Try it. If you don&rsquo;t like it, I&rsquo;ll pay you back.</p>
<p>Simple as that.</p>
<p>Go here now &ndash;</p>

<p>Have you ever started out to do one thing but ended up doing something different?</p>
<p>Night and day different?</p>
<p>Remember how Post-It Notes were invented?</p>
<p>Some guy was trying to come up with a &ldquo;permanent&rdquo; glue.</p>
<p>Obviously he failed&hellip; and he considered it a failure&hellip; but 3M had another idea.</p>
<p>The guy was all of a sudden Joe Brilliant.</p>
<p>Well, I&rsquo;m feeling a bit like Joe today. But this is much more interesting to you than Post-It Notes&hellip;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s about <strong>sex</strong>&hellip; sorta. Not dirty, I&rsquo;m talking about couple&rsquo;s stuff here.</p>
<p>My new book just came out today about it.</p>
<p>But it didn&rsquo;t start off that way at all. In fact &hellip; get this&hellip; I was co-writing a book with medical researcher Frank Mangano on lowering blood pressure without meds&hellip; really.</p>
<p>So how did this big U-turn occur?</p>
<p>Okay, okay&hellip;. funny, true story:</p>
<p>I read this article from a medical journal about how &ldquo;lowering blood pressure would help sexual-performance-problems.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ding. The lightbulb went off in my head.</p>
<p>You see, lowering blood pressure is probably the most healthy thing you can do for yourself.</p>
<p>But face it &mdash; it&rsquo;s really, really BORING.</p>
<p>I mean, who really cares about their blood pressure unless their doctor says, &ldquo;Look, lower your blood pressure or you&rsquo;ll die in six months.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Then you care.</p>
<p>Are you with me?</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m right and we all know it.</p>
<p>Heck, I was the same way.</p>
<p>I ignored my blood pressure for years until it hit stroke-level back in my 30s.</p>
<p>Then I could no longer ignore it.</p>
<p>I found every natural alternative possible&hellip; which led me to Frank&rsquo;s books&hellip; and they are the BEST.</p>
<p>So Frank comes to me and asks me to contribute to his very popular on-the-shelf book &ldquo;The Blood Pressure Miracle&rdquo; &ndash;</p>
<p>&hellip; and I said,</p>
<p>&ldquo;Hey, guess what I just read?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Since he&rsquo;s the researcher, I said, &ldquo;Go see if there&rsquo;s any truth to this.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The results BLEW MY MIND.</p>
<p>Not only is there truth to it &mdash; that, yes&hellip; lowering blood pressure not only extends your life but also extends your sexlife as well &mdash; but WOW&hellip; it&rsquo;s a major player in everything from male-ED to females feeling &ldquo;out of the mood.&rdquo;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s crazy, but it&rsquo;s true.</p>
<p>It makes sense once you read this:</p>
<p><a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.lowpressuresex.com/aff/atozfitnes" title="(62 hits)">Low Pressure Sex Book</a> <img alt="" src="http://www.fit365online.com/wp-content/themes/fit365/images/url.gif" />  <strong>Click here for &ldquo;Low Pressure Sex&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>Hang with me: It gets better&hellip;</p>
<p>So Frank digs up article after article on the subject of high blood pressure and LOW sexual-energy and performance&hellip; and we have a much more compelling reason to want to lower our blood pressure, now don&rsquo;t we?</p>
<p>But we wanted more.</p>
<p>I said, &ldquo;Look Frank, I get a lot of emails about sex-after-30&hellip; people who want to feel more kick, more alive in that area of their lives&hellip; and above all, closer to their mates.&rdquo;</p>
<p>So&hellip; we decided to add another book on TOP of our book&hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip; a book on improving sexual-pleasure for couples only. &ldquo;RevolutionarySex&rdquo; is the name of it. My friend Alex Allman wrote it&hellip;and just like that we had two books instead of one.</p>
<p>But that&rsquo;s not all&hellip; ( told you&hellip; this story is interesting&hellip; ; )</p>
<p>THEN my friend Jeff Anderson comes out with his &ldquo;homemade V&rdquo; &mdash; and guys, we know what &ldquo;V&rdquo; stands for.</p>
<p>Listen: V (little blue things) is really dangerous stuff. It really is. It RAISES blood pressure for one thing. For another it can cause addiction and memory loss.</p>
<p>But Jeff&rsquo;s version is all-natural, cheap (we&rsquo;re talking pennies instead of dollars per &ldquo;pill&rdquo; to make) and above all&hellip; SAFE.</p>
<p>So all of a sudden&hellip; THREE books (plus an audio)&hellip; so&hellip;</p>
<p>It became a System, not a book.</p>
<p>And the topic went from &ldquo;lowering blood pressure&rdquo; to &hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip; How you can completely solve your sexual-performance-problems and increase your pleasure all by lowering blood pressure naturally without meds.&rdquo;</p>
<p>What a concept&hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip;and it WORKS.</p>
<p><a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.lowpressuresex.com/aff/atozfitnes" title="(62 hits)">Low Pressure Sex Book</a> <img alt="" src="http://www.fit365online.com/wp-content/themes/fit365/images/url.gif" />  <strong>Click here for &ldquo;Low Pressure Sex&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>Here are the advantages&hellip;</p>
<p>1. If you take blood pressure meds&hellip; and a lot of you do&hellip; your &ldquo;kick in the stick&rdquo; suffers. A lot. Some men suffer all the way, which lead them to taking the V stuff&hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip; and that stuff &lsquo;raises&rsquo; blood pressure.</p>
<p>Bad, bad combo. Our System gets you off of that dangerous and expensive cycle of drugs and on to a natural, easy approach that also adds pleasure to your relationship.</p>
<p>2. Cheaper&hellip; by far&hellip; than meds.</p>
<p>3. Something you can read and do as a couple or as a single person.</p>
<p>4. You get healthy and you get your vigor back at the same time. Ladies too.</p>
<p>5. It&rsquo;s guaranteed-to-work&hellip; 60 days on us.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m very proud of this System. We put a lot of time, research and effort into it.</p>
<p>If you want a life freee from high BP and sexual-performance-issues and better health, then go here:</p>

<h3>Fit Bits: Forget Perfection</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img width="510" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/images/line.gif" /></p>
<p>You will never be perfect. At anything.</p>
<p>Period.</p>
<p>Forget it. In fact, the faster you forget it the faster you&rsquo;ll make progress in the gym and with your weightloss-goals.</p>
<p>Perfection with a dietplan is silly. No one will eat perfectly for life. No one will make every workout.</p>
<p>But thousands upon thousands of people try to be &ldquo;perfect&rdquo; every single day. That&rsquo;s why they fail on their dietplans and exercise schedules.</p>
<p>They are too demanding.</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.atozfitness.com/recommends/fit365.html" title="(95 hits)">first day&rsquo;s lesson in my Personal Fat Loss Certification Course</a> I teach you (free) how to avoid perfection in both dietary and exercise protocols so you can progress enjoyably for life.</p>
<p>Trust me: I&rsquo;m far from perfect. Tonight I had Mexican food. Bad Mexican food, but still&hellip; ; )</p>
<p>And I&rsquo;m still in good shape. I know how &ldquo;not&rdquo; to be perfect &mdash; and how to eat &lsquo;tomorrow&rsquo; to ensure that what I had &lsquo;tonight&rsquo; will not affect my body or my health at all.</p>
<p>I look forward to teaching you the same secrets.</p>

<p>            Night and day different?</p>
<p>            Remember how Post-It Notes were  												invented?</p>
<p>            Some guy was trying to come up  												with a &quot;permanent&quot; glue.</p>
<p>            Obviously he failed... and he  												considered it a failure... but  												3M had another idea.</p>
<p>            The guy was all of a sudden Joe  												Brilliant.</p>
<p>            Well, I'm feeling a bit like Joe  												today. </p>
<p>            But this is much more  												interesting to you than Post-It  												Notes...</p>
<p>            It's about s - e - x... sorta. 												</p>
<p>            Not dirty, I'm talking about  												couple's stuff here.</p>
<p>            My new book just came out today  												about it.</p>
<p>            But it didn't start off that way  												at all. </p>
<p>            In fact ... get this... I was  												co-writing a book with medical  												researcher Frank Mangano on  												lowering blood pressure without  												meds... really.</p>
<p>            So how did this big U-turn  												occur?</p>
<p>            Okay, okay.... funny, true  												story:</p>
<p>            I read this article from a  												medical journal about how  												&quot;lowering blood pressure would  												help  												sexual-performance-problems.&quot;</p>
<p>            Ding. The lightbulb went off in  												my head.</p>
<p>            You see, lowering blood pressure  												is probably the most healthy  												thing you can do for yourself.</p>
<p>            But face it -- it's really,  												really BORING.</p>
<p>            I mean, who really cares about  												their blood pressure unless  												their doctor says, &quot;Look, lower  												your blood pressure or you'll  												die in six months.&quot;</p>
<p>            Then you care.</p>
<p>            Are you with me?</p>
<p>            I'm right and we all know it.</p>
<p>            Heck, I was the same way.</p>
<p>            I ignored my blood pressure for  												years until it hit stroke-level  												back in my 30s.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ This is an interesting topic...

Some people try too hard when they work out, not realizing they are actually sabotaging their own efforts.  There is a such thing as overtraining, and it doesn’t only lead to injury.  Overtraining can absolutely lead to decreased fat loss, less definition, and greater cardiac risk.  I know that this sounds odd, but bear with me as I explain the 3 principles of overtraining that make exercise toxic when you do too much.  These principles are:]]></description>

<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">This is an  												interesting topic... </span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">Some people  												try too hard when they work out,  												not realizing they are actually  												sabotaging their own efforts.&nbsp;  												There <em>is</em> a such thing as  												overtraining, and it doesn&rsquo;t  												only lead to injury.&nbsp;  												Overtraining can absolutely lead  												to decreased fat loss, less  												definition, and greater cardiac  												risk.&nbsp; I know that this sounds  												odd, but bear with me as I  												explain the 3 principles of  												overtraining that make exercise  												toxic when you do too much.&nbsp;  												These principles are:</span></p>

<p class="Body" style="text-indent: -18pt; margin-left: 18pt;"><span lang="EN-US">3.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 												</span>Second Session Syndrome  												(TM)</span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">Let&rsquo;s take a  												closer look at each one of  												these...</span></p>
<p class="Body"><strong> 												<span lang="EN-US">Poor Heart  												Rate Recovery:</span></strong></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">By  												maintaining your max heart rate  												over a prolonged period of time,  												as would happen with anaerobic  												exercise and too little rest,  												you will actually be training  												your heart to respond to  												exercise in an over-exaggerated  												way.&nbsp; Your body will begin to  												learn that your &lsquo;Fight or  												Flight&rsquo; response is an &lsquo;All or  												None&rsquo; response, and react to  												exercise accordingly.&nbsp; I believe  												this is best illustrated by a  												story of one of my previous  												clients:</span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">You see, when  												I first started personal  												training I wasn&rsquo;t convinced that  												overtraining was a legitimate  												problem, so long as someone  												maintained mobility, wasn&rsquo;t 9  												out of 10 sore, etc.&nbsp; I was  												accustomed to two-a-days from  												water polo and swimming for so  												many years, that I hadn&rsquo;t given  												a whole lot of thought to the  												idea of my client riding horses  												for 2 hours a day, riding her  												bike for an hour, and then  												training with me to the max 4  												days a week.&nbsp; She didn&rsquo;t get  												hurt.</span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">In fact, it  												was nothing like that.&nbsp; She got  												into ridiculous shape, and, to  												this day, I&rsquo;m so proud of her  												accomplishment.&nbsp; Instead,  												Juliane (my client), began to  												notice that within the first  												minute of walking on the  												treadmill her hear rate would go  												up to 155 bpm, without a whole  												lot of exertion.&nbsp; Naturally,  												this got me thinking... </span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">You see,  												heart rate recovery is one of  												the greatest predictors of  												cardiac disease.&nbsp; I hated the  												thought of my client who was in  												such incredible shape having an  												increased risk of cardiac  												disease.&nbsp; Over a couple of  												months, we were able to correct  												the issue, but her heart rate  												&lsquo;spike&rsquo; was a result of  												overtraining.&nbsp; That was the  												bottom line.</span></p>
<p class="Body"><strong> 												<span lang="EN-US">Acidic State  												In The Body:</span></strong></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">According to  												Eastern medicine, any decrease  												in the pH of your body (i.e.  												making it more acidic) will  												result in increased probability  												of infection.&nbsp; Dr. Mike Gorman,  												a chiropractor and applied  												Kinesiologist in the Bucks  												County area, has explained to me  												that he balances pH in order to  												cure cancer.&nbsp; Crazy, I know!</span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">If you  												constantly tax your body in ways  												that make it interpret the  												stress as illness, it will  												always be trying to recover.&nbsp;  												During this entire recovery  												process, your body will be more  												stressed, and you will also have  												a large build up of lactic  												acid.&nbsp; Remember, any prolonged  												increase in acidity may lead to  												bigger diseases than just  												injury.&nbsp; </span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">Don&rsquo;t worry,  												I&rsquo;m not saying that lifting  												weights causes cancer, or  												anything like that.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m just  												explaining that a prolonged  												acidic state in your body makes  												it difficult to recover.&nbsp; By  												allowing the pH to return to  												normal, you are creating a  												stronger body, and a body more  												capable of fighting outside  												infection.&nbsp; It just makes  												sense.&nbsp; </span></p>
<p class="Body"><strong> 												<span lang="EN-US">Second  												Session Syndrome (TM):</span></strong></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">Overtraining  												can lead to prolonged recovery  												time, as is explained above.&nbsp;  												It&rsquo;s a fact that you will be  												unable to perform at the same  												level every day over the course  												of a month if you overtrain.&nbsp;  												The following are ways that you  												can overtrain, leading to  												decreased efforts on all  												subsequent visits to the gym:&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="Body" style="text-indent: -18pt; margin-left: 18pt;"><span lang="EN-US">1.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 												</span></span><em> 												<span lang="EN-US">Frequency</span></em><span lang="EN-US">  												- how often do you work out?&nbsp; Do  												you rest at least 1 day per  												week?</span></p>
<p class="Body" style="text-indent: -18pt; margin-left: 18pt;"><span lang="EN-US">2.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 												</span></span><em> 												<span lang="EN-US">Duration</span></em><span lang="EN-US">  												- how long do you work out?&nbsp; Are  												you dosing exercise correctly if  												are building up to a higher  												exercise tolerance?</span></p>
<p class="Body" style="text-indent: -18pt; margin-left: 18pt;"><span lang="EN-US">3.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 												</span></span><em> 												<span lang="EN-US">Intensity</span></em><span lang="EN-US">  												- how hard are you working?&nbsp; Are  												you taking ample rest periods to  												recover between exercises, sets,  												or circuits?</span></p>
<p class="Body" style="text-indent: -18pt; margin-left: 18pt;"><span lang="EN-US">4.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 												</span></span><em> 												<span lang="EN-US">Mode</span></em><span lang="EN-US">  												- are you mixing it up a bit?&nbsp;  												Do you constantly do the exact  												same form of exercise?&nbsp; Do you  												need help with program design?</span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">Within a few  												weeks of overtraining, you are  												sure to suffer from Second  												Session Syndrome.&nbsp; This awful  												&lsquo;disease&rsquo; is when you plateau or  												decrease strength the day after  												a workout.&nbsp; This shouldn&rsquo;t be  												the case.&nbsp; If you are working  												out correctly, you should be  												able to feel just as strong  												today as you did yesterday.</span></p>
<p class="Body"><span lang="EN-US">Overtraining  												is dangerous in more ways than  												one.&nbsp; Exercise truly can be  												toxic.&nbsp; By understanding the 3  												principles listed above, you are  												sure to have a competitive  												advantage in your six pack abs  												exercise program.&nbsp; </span></p>

<p>            If you ever needed another good  												reason to exercise, I've got one  												for you:</p>
<p>            Exercise makes your brain  												bigger.</p>
<p>            Actually this isn't entirely  												accurate. To be more specific,  												exercise was found to increase  												brain size slightly, but far  												more important to increase  												&quot;spatial reasoning.&quot;</p>
<p>            This is the ability to recognize  												patterns, remember phrases,  												numbers, and so-on. This was  												discovered by researchers at the  												Universities of Chicago and  												Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>            It is also one of the most  												important factors to the  												prevention of Alzheimer's and  												dementia.</p>
<p>            My mom suffered with dementia  												the last ten years of her life.  												But unlike most dementia  												patients she was fully  												functional thanks to exercise.  												She drove and had a mind that  												was unbelievably sharp right up  												until an accident injured her  												beyond the ability to exercise.</p>
<p>            After that, she mentally went  												downhill rapidly. Thankfully,  												she passed in peace... and she  												had ten wonderfully active years  												thanks to her willingness to  												take up weight training at the  												age of 71.</p>
<p>            She eventually walked up to 3  												miles per day and trained in the  												gym 3 days per week.</p>
<p>            That kept her mind sharp, along  												with fish oil and N-Acetyl L-Carnitine,  												a wonderful brain nutrient.</p>
<p>            Once again, we see the power of  												exercise. It increases the  												QUALITY of your life.</p>
<p>            Quantity is no where near as  												important to me as quality.</p>
<p>            The links at the bottom of this  												newsletter are to my books on  												exercise. Pick the one that  												appeals to you most and take  												action.</p>
<p>            Your brain will thank you, as  												will the rest of your body.</p>
<p>            One of the best ways to start  												exercising when you are over 40  												is by using the routines covered  												in &quot;Fit Over 40&quot;.</p>
<p>            This book profiles 53 different  												men and women, age 40 to 80, all  												sharing their workouts,  												nutrition plans, and mental  												empowerment techniques.</p>
<p>            It is a MUST-HAVE for anyone  												wanting to begin exercising or  												improve their level of fitness  												after the age of 40.</p>

How about a stroke? Diabetes?

Okay, this isn't sounding like a positive letter... but hang in there. It gets a lot better and more positive.

I was having lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry's upcoming book is a must-read. I will let you know when she's ready to release it.

Since Sherry has been here visiting me in Dallas I have learned SO much about natural food preparation and what really causes disease.]]></description>

<p class="Body"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> 													Want to know what your real  													odds are of having a heart  													attack?</p>
<p>            How about a stroke?  													Diabetes?</p>
<p>            Okay, this isn't sounding  													like a positive letter...  													but hang in there. It gets a  													lot better and more  													positive.</p>
<p>            I was having lunch today  													with my CPA and my good  													friend Sherry Strong.  													Sherry's upcoming book is a  													must-read. I will let you  													know when she's ready to  													release it.</p>
<p>            Since Sherry has been here  													visiting me in Dallas I have  													learned SO much about  													natural food preparation and  													what really causes disease.</p>
<p>            Our conversation took a turn  													to &quot;doctor's tests.&quot; I think  													most of them are worthless.  													Some are vital.</p>
<p>            It's important to know the  													difference.</p>
<p>            I'm going to give you the  													three tests you absolutely  													must take if you want to  													help ensure your future  													health in a moment.</p>
<p>            But first, let me give you  													Sherry's argument to my  													third test.</p>
<p>            Yes, we nutritionists argue  													sometimes. ; )</p>
<p>            I'll let you decide. But  													statically it's far more  													accurate than any blood  													test... and get this:</p>
<p>            You can do it at home for  													freee.</p>
<p>            So far, are you with me?&nbsp;  													Good.</p>
<p>            I'm going to go in reverse  													order, third test to last...</p>
<p>            The third test is simply  													this:</p>
<p>            Measure your waistline. Use  													a tape measure and do not  													pull it tight. Measure right  													below the navel.</p>
<p>            Write down that number in  													inches.</p>
<p>            Then measure your height out  													of shoes in inches. Write  													that down too.</p>
<p>            If your waist in inches is  													more than twice your height  													you are FOUR TIMES more  													likely to have heart  													disease.</p>
<p>            Four times. That's more  													predictive than cholesterol  													tests by far.</p>
<p>            And a lot less expensive to  													boot.</p>
<p>            Don't just read about this  													test -- DO IT. I'll give you  													something you can do ABOUT  													it if you fail this test in  													a second.</p>
<p>            The great news is that this  													is one factor that is  													totally within your control.</p>
<p>            Test number two:&nbsp; Know your  													SED rate. This is an  													inflammatory marker in the  													blood.</p>
<p>            Test number one:&nbsp; Know your  													hsCRP and LP(a) levels. Both  													of these can be done as one  													test usually. Both are  													inflammatory markers as well  													as key indicators of heart  													health.</p>
<p>            Go to your doctor and ask  													for these three blood tests.  													Usually they can be done all  													at once. Sometimes they are  													separate, but they are all  													crucial.</p>
<p>            If you are thin and look  													healthy, listen to this:</p>
<p>            You too can be Lance  													Armstrong or Jim Fixx....and  													not know it.</p>
<p>            Lance and Jim looked like  													two of the healthiest men on  													the planet. Lance beat  													testicular cancer but came  													within an inch of his life.  													Jim died after a short jog  													of a heart attack very young  													in life.</p>
<p>            Looks can be deceiving.</p>
<p>            This is Sherry's argument --  													and she's totally correct.</p>
<p>            That's why I give you THREE  													(well, actually four) TESTS.</p>
<p>            You see, it's virtually  													impossible to have a normal  													SED rate, a normal hsCRP  													level and a normal LP(a)  													level and be at imminent  													risk for any of these killer  													diseases.</p>
<p>            Possible, perhaps -- but  													almost not.</p>
<p>            So, if you look healthy and  													feel like a bazillion bucks,  													you still need to know your  													levels of these inflammatory  													markers.</p>
<p>            If you are overweight or  													obese, you totally  													absolutely MUST do the  													waist/height test as well as  													the others.</p>
<p>            You see, it goes both ways.</p>
<p>            Some obese folks test out  													okay at the doc's office.  													Their cholesterol, blood  													pressure, and all typical  													readings are okay. Rarely  													does a doc run an hsCRP or  													LP(a). And rarely do they  													run a SED rate.</p>
<p>            See the importance here?</p>
<p>            Both the fit and the unfit  													can be at dire risk and not  													even know it.</p>
<p>            Now, here's the solution:</p>
<p>            A low-inflammatory nutrition  													and training plan, along  													with plenty of stress-free  													time.</p>
<p>            I can help you with the  													first two things.</p>
<p>            The third thing --  													de-stressing -- is up to  													you. You may want to spend  													30 minutes a day doing yoga,  													walking, meditating,  													praying, or whatever calms  													your MIND and BODY down.</p>
<p>            Check it out:</p>
<p>            Lance and Jim were both  													doing insane amounts of  													exercise... so much that  													they demanded insane amounts  													of high-inflammatory foods.  													Foods like processed  													carbohydrates for example.</p>
<p>            And they both got sick. One  													of them died.</p>
<p>            My good friend Dr. Steven  													Chase believes that 85% of  													cancer is preventable.</p>
<p>            Re-read that:&nbsp; 85%.&nbsp; And  													he's an oncologist -- a  													cancer doctor.</p>
<p>            And you know heart disease  													is 95% preventable... or did  													you?</p>
<p>            But all of these killers,  													especially diabetes, demand  													a low-insulin,  													low-inflammatory nutrition  													and exercise plan.</p>
<p>            Lance and Jim had sky-high  													inflammatory levels from all  													that exercise. It was  													literally TOO much exercise.</p>
<p>            That's why so many  													marathoners die of heart  													attacks. They eat  													inflammatory foods and  													engage in high-stress  													exercise for too long of a  													time.</p>
<p>            So, what's the answer?</p>
<p>            1. Short workouts that are  													intense, effective, and  													enjoyable. Weights and  													cardio both, or in-home  													resistance workouts will  													work fine.</p>
<p>            2. Longer &quot;soft&quot; workouts  													like brisk walking that  													helps de-stress the body and  													burn more bodyfat.</p>
<p>            3. A nutrition plan that  													allows for your favorite  													foods at the RIGHT TIME of  													the day but also helps you  													burn bodyfat without  													activating your body's  													stress-producing hormones  													like cortisol...cool.</p>
<p>            Most nutrition plans are  													stressful. Big mistake.  													Stress can cause you to hold  													on to bodyfat. Plus stress  													causes inflammation.</p>
<p>            Most workout plans are  													either too easy or too  													intense for too long a  													period of time. My System is  													super-short (7-14 minutes a  													day, plus walks when you  													can.) This is enough to  													build all the muscle you  													need plus burn bodyfat when  													combined with the nutrition  													plan.</p>
<p>            My System's nutrition plan  													is ideal if you are willing  													to &quot;diet&quot; for a day or two,  													then enjoy a day of eating  													&quot;normal&quot; foods.</p>
<p>            Hey, no one is perfect.  													Anyone who has half a brain  													should know that not very  													many people (myself  													included) are willing to do  													without their favorite foods  													forever.</p>
<p>            That's silly -- and it's not  													necessary to burn bodyfat.</p>
<p>            In fact, my System 'demands'  													that you eat these foods at  													certain times TO BURN MORE  													BODYFAT!</p>
<p>            Wild, isn't it?</p>
<p>            It's the System I've used  													for years.</p>
<p>            It's the combination of two  													books:</p>
<p>            7 Minute Muscle + Every  													Other Day Diet</p>
<p>            Get them both for one low  													price...</p>

<p>            Any of my three Upgrade Kits  													come with both books, a full  													year of support from me on  													the Every Other Day Diet  													group Forum, and so many  													bonuses I can't list them  													all.</p>
<p>            This combo is something I am  													so very proud to share with  													you.</p>
<p>            It's the ultimate System for  													lowering bodyfat, increasing  													lean muscle, lowering  													insulin, lowering  													inflammation, and ensuring  													your health.</p>
<p>            Whether you are in shape or  													obese, this System is one  													that will work for you.</p>
<p>            <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/atozfitnes/oto" title="(87 hits)"> 													http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/atozfitnes/oto</a>&nbsp;  													&lt;--- Helps you pass the  													tests</p>

            By Jon Benson</span></p>
<p>            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It's like a dream come  												true.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><em><br />
            <strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Gaining  												bodyfat is the result&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</strong><br />
            <strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; of a virus.&quot;</strong></em></strong><br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wouldn't that be great news  												Lewis?<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Well...<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Let me tell you about the  												AD-36 adenovirus.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adenoviruses are the same  												nasty bugs that<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cause the common cold. We  												all have these<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; viruses in various forms in  												our body all<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the time.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That last bit is a critical  												distinction.</p>
<p>            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Remember that.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Pennington Biomedical  												Research Center<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in Louisiana has been doing  												some really<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ground-breaking research on  												AD-36. AD-36<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; affects stem cells... more  												specifically fat<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cells, both pre-formed and  												post-formed.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This means AD-36 can make  												MORE fat cells<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if contracted as an infant  												and make your fat<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cells larger if contracted  												as an adult.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Or so the theory goes.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To quote the study:<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Earlier researchers have  												concluded that<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ad-36 may be contributors  												to obesity by<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; super-charging fat cells to  												grow and store<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; more fat. Until now,  												though, those<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; researchers thought the  												viruses targeted<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pre-fat cells (called pre-adipocytes),<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; causing them to convert in  												higher numbers<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to fat cells and causing  												those fat cells to<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; be larger. Those studies  												were in mice.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pasaricas work determines  												the virus <br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; targets stem cells in  												humans.&quot;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The result?<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;In one test, a third of  												obese people had<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the rare and highly  												contagious virus<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; compared to just 11 percent  												of thinner<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; people. Weight gain can  												last three months<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; until the body has built up  												resistance to<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the bug.&quot;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wow. Sounds like we have a  												winner here. A<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; virus that you can catch  												that literally<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; makes you gain bodyfat!&nbsp;  												All we need is...<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><em>&nbsp; a vaccine!</em></strong><br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Right?<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Wrong</u>.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; First of all, notice that  												11% of <u>LEAN</u><br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; people have AD-36. And at  												any given time,<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; just like a cold or a flu  												virus, you could<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; contract AD-36. If your  												body has 'never'<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; been exposed to it, you may  												require about 3<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; months to build up  												antibodies to ward it off.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, you can gain a lot of  												weight in 3<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; months... but come on. You  												cannot become<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; obese in three months  												unless you are<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; really, REALLY working at  												it.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Plus, like most viruses,  												you build up<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; immunity to AD-36.  												Researchers do not<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; know how long the immunity  												lasts, but some<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; theorize it could last  												years... some even<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decades.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And let's not forget those  												11% who are lean<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and have the virus.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Why did they not all of a  												sudden get &quot;sick&quot;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; with bodyfat?<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Because</strong>  												they are not EATING or LIVING 												<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in a way that allows  												them to gain bodyfat no<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; matter what nasty  												freakin' viruses may be<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; floating about, that's  												why.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That's right folks:&nbsp; It is  												always going to<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; come down to the food we  												put in our body<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and the way we move.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here's  												another hypothesis presented by  												Sherry Strong, food philosopher  												and&nbsp;nutritionist:&nbsp; &quot;This could  												very well be&nbsp;the result of  												nature creating a mutation to  												encourage us to eat more due to  												the fact our consumption of  												natural, whole and organic foods  												is so low.&quot;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;  												Brilliant observation... and one  												that makes complete sense.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Even if a &quot;virus&quot; is  												responsible for 20% of<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; our weightgain, what about  												the other 80%?<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We do not need a vaccine  												other than good<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; food and a common sense  												workout plan.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here's the best --<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 												<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://your7minutemuscle.com" target="_blank" title="(708 hits)"> 												The Real-World Plan</a>&nbsp; &lt;-- 												<strong>the &quot;vaccine&quot; for  												bodyfat</strong><br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here's why I love this  												workout:<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. It's fast. 7-14 minutes  												3-5 days per<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; week. Anyone on earth can  												do this.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. The Basic Upgrade (you  												will see it)<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; still comes with a copy of  												my book <em>The</em><em><br />
            <em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Every Other Day Diet.</em></em>  												Put the two together<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and you have an absolute  												winner of a plan<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; that's practical and  												enjoyable.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. Plus, anyone who owns 												<em>Every Other Day</em><em><br />
            <em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Diet</em></em> gets my  												upcoming <strong><em>Radical  												Fatloss</em></strong><strong><em><br />
            <strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Blueprint </strong> 												</em><strong>book freee</strong></strong>.  												It comes out March 1st.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That's 3 good reasons to go  												here and</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; check  												out <em>7 Minute Muscle....</em></p>
<p>            <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> 												&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 												</span> 												<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> 												<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://your7minutemuscle.com" target="_blank" title="(708 hits)"> 												The Real-World Plan</a>&nbsp; &lt;--- 												<strong>the &quot;vaccine&quot; for  												bodyfat</strong><br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here's one more:<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>You know better</u>.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You know that there's never  												going to be a<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; magic pill for health,  												vitality, energy and<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; looking your best.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We can keep hoping... or  												you can take<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; action and get what you  												want now.<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To me, that makes more  												sense than AD-36<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Super-Retro Fat-burning  												Vaccine&quot; to hit<br />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the marketplace in 2021. 												</span></p>

                        The God-Awful Truth About Cellulite&#8230;</strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="color: black;"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> 						Do you know this type of woman?</p>
<p>                        She looks great in her &#8216;sexy jeans&#8230; She looks amazing  						in a form fitted skirt&#8230; and she actually looks like a  						&#8216;hottie&#8217; in her workout gear&#8230; But when she&#8217;s naked &#8211;  						she can&#8217;t stand to look at her trouble spots in the  						mirror because of her cellulite&#8230;</p>
<p>                        A bikini is out of the question&#8230; the short little  						dress won&#8217;t see the light of day&#8230; and her man is only  						allowed to &quot;see her&quot; with the lights off&#8230;</p>
<p>                        She doesn&#8217;t know why she has it. She&#8217;s heard so many  						different &#8216;theories&#8217;. And she&#8217;s wasted hundreds, if not,  						thousands on supposed &#8216;cellulite treatments&#8217; &#8211; only to  						find more disappointment and frustration when her  						cellulite got worse, instead of better&#8230;</p>
<p>                        She may have even tried &quot;the gym thing&quot; &#8211; doing the same  						routine every other members does &#8211; again only to find  						the cellulite is still there&#8230;</p>
<p>                        She loves her weight, her size and even her shape&#8230; All  						she wants is to be cellulite free&#8230;</p>
<p>                        Truth be told there is only one proven way to get rid of  						cellulite. And yes, it is &#8216;exercise&#8217; &#8211; but it&#8217;s not just  						any old fitness routine&#8230; The effective way to banish  						cellulite is with a specifically structured,  						laser-targeted cellulite reduction exercise program.</p>
<p>                        In order for the program to deliver the desired results,  						it must include these six principles called, R.E.D.U.C.E.</p>
<p>
                        R.E.D.U.C.E.</p>
<p>                        1 &#8211; Replace all &#8216;weight and machine&#8217; lower body  						exercises with bodyweight exercises &#8212; this may seem  						counter-intuitive to the mainstream &#8216;fitness&#8217; approach  						to cellulite reduction &#8211; but its the main reason why it  						actually works&#8230;<br />
                        2 &#8211; Emphasize the slowness of each repetition &#8211; This  						allows the whole muscle to be involved and properly  						engaged in each exercise &#8211; a key to lower body cellulite  						reduction<br />
                        3 &#8211; Don&#8217;t get caught up in the &#8216;No pain &#8211; no gain&#8217;  						mentality &#8212; this concept forces women to think &quot;doing  						more is better&quot; which is not the case. This actually  						prohibits the desired result of cellulite reduction and  						this is also where exercise related injuries occur&#8230;<br />
                        4 &#8211; Utilize &#8216;items&#8217; in your home for a complete lower  						body, anti-cellulite exercise program &#8212; items such as a  						cushioned chair or couch, a firm ottoman, and a pantry  						step stool are ideal&#8230;<br />
                        5 &#8211; Concentrate on moving from one exercise to the next  						with no more than 20 seconds between sets &#8212; this is an  						important element for the cellulite reduction effect&#8230;<br />
                        6 &#8211; Expect visible cellulite reduction to start within 2  						- 3 weeks if you get your lower body sessions in three  						times per week (some women can get away with just two  						sessions per week).</p>
<p>                        It is widely know that cellulite affects women of all  						ages, body types, and body weights.</p>
<p>                        Unfortunately this allows for a lot of unscrupulous  						marketers of &#8216;hyped up&#8217; products, to take advantage of  						desperate and hopeful women. They employ sneaky  						advertising tactics that prey on the emotional pain of  						this large target market &#8211; bringing in hundreds of  						millions of dollars in profits year after year &#8211; WITHOUT  						delivering the promised results&#8230;</p>
<p>                        But even when a woman tries the &#8216;exercise&#8217; approach to  						cellulite reduction &#8211; she usually falls victim of simply  						not being on a cellulite-specific exercise program&#8230;  						Hence perpetuating her constant battle with all the ways  						her cellulite affects her daily life, attitude and  						happiness&#8230;</p>
<p>                        If you&#8217;ve &quot;tried everything&quot; with no results to show for  						your efforts -take a close look at your exercise program  						(if you are on one right now) and see how you can  						incorporate the principles of R.E.D.U.C.E. outlined  						above.</p>
<p>                        Most of all just be aware that the only way to get rid  						of the &#8216;orange peel&#8217; look of your &#8216;problem zones&#8217; is by  						proper stimulation of the muscles directly beneath your  						cellulite areas &#8211; not with some &#8216;bodybuilder&#8217; routine,  						not with a magical rub-on cream and not with a vibrating  						toxin releasing massage treatment.</p>

                        &nbsp;</strong></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial">By Kareem Samhouri,  						DPT</p>
<p>                        One thing that most people who train for improved abs do  						not realize is that they need to train their backs at  						the same time. Without having a proper balance between  						abdominal and low back strength, there is a change in  						posture, ultimately resulting in a decreased physique,  						decreased oxygenation to muscles, and decreased  						endurance. This means that you will spend more time in  						the gym, take less away from your workout, and feel more  						tired the next day. Sounds terrible, right?</p>
<p>                        One of the greatest secrets that I teach my clients is  						to strengthen their low back musculature in order to  						increase the efficacy of their abdominal workouts.  						Through proper low back strengthening, they are able to  						normalize their pelvic positions, thereby increasing the  						stretch on their skin in the abdomen. This increase in  						stretch, or better posed decrease in slack, results in  						showing the muscles that lie underneath. With the 3 step  						plan you see below, you may just find that you have had  						more abdominal definition than you knew:</p>
<p>                        Step 1: Learn how to perform stability exercises rather  						than crunches. Functionally, our abs work to stabilize  						our bodies while walking, standing from a chair, or  						sitting down. This is referred to as an &#8216;isometric&#8217;  						contraction, meaning that the muscle is contracting, but  						no movement is taking place. Whenever your abs are  						working isometrically, it&#8217;s a good bet that your low  						back is helping stabilize from the other side. Think  						about it, if my abs are firing and my low back extensors  						are not, would I not bend forward?</p>
<p>                        Step 2: Spend double the time on your back than you do  						on your front. Take for granted the fact that most  						people work on the muscles they can see in the mirror  						when working out. If you simply try to counterbalance  						this for awhile, you will be blown away by the results.  						By working on muscles such as your lower trapezius,  						middle trapezius, rhomboids, posterior deltoids,  						gluteals, and multifidi, you will stand far ahead of  						your competition. Your body will assume a better  						posture, your circulation will improve, the oxygen  						delivery to your muscles will improve, and your  						metabolism will increase. All of these factors will  						drive your results through the roof when attempting to  						improve abdominal definition and strength.</p>
<p>                        Step 3: Change it up. Most people perform the same  						exercises every other time that they work out. Instead,  						try to vary joint angles and positions, muscles  						targeted, surfaces used, or anything else you can think  						of in order to &#8216;shock your system&#8217; into thinking it&#8217;s  						never exercises before. Do you remember the first time  						you worked out? You were pretty sore, right? Me too.  						There is a reason for this: our bodies were producing a  						ton of lactic acid, which produced soreness, and  						resulted in a repair process that uses energy to get rid  						of the acid. This energy equals increased metabolism. If  						you increase metabolism, you&#8217;ll hit your goals before  						you know it!</p>
<p>                        If you&#8217;d like to see amazing results with your ab  						strengthening program in the gym, all you have to do is  						follow this three step plan. By targeting your muscles  						the way they are intended to be used, improving posture,  						and mixing things up, you will be blown away by the  						results.</p>
<p>                        If you&#8217;d like a free trial of an incredibly effective ab  						strengthening program that only takes 10 minutes per  						day, please go to: <a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.atozfitness.com/recommends/abstrengthguide.html" target="_blank" title="(399 hits)"> 						http://AbStrengthGuide.com</a> </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16pt;">How To Avoid 8 Years Of Poor Health In A Fat Body</span></h2>
<p align="center" style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><em><font face="Arial" size="2">By Rob Poulos, Fat Loss &amp; Fitness Expert &amp; Author of &quot;Fat Burning Furnace&quot;</font></em></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I was puttering around on the internet this morning and I saw something that caught my eye.&nbsp; It was the latest data regarding our current life expectancy as humans from the World Health Organization, along with a history of how that&#8217;s changed over the years.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">This info went all the way back to the Neanderthal period (the guys from the Geico commercials) up to present day humans. Those poor Geico guys only lived to be 20 years old on average, while today&#8217;s humans can expect about 75 years of life.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">But did you know that today&#8217;s people have an average healthy life expectancy of just 67 years? &nbsp;In other words, this is saying that you can expect 8 years of your life in poor health.&nbsp; 8 years!&nbsp; That&#8217;s 2900+ days of poor health.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t know about you, but that&#8217;s not something I&#8217;m looking forward to.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I sure think we can do better than 67 years of good health on &nbsp;this planet.&nbsp; And you know what?&nbsp; We can.&nbsp; This number is an average.&nbsp; Like anything else, you don&#8217;t have to be average if you don&#8217;t want to be.&nbsp; The average person doesn&#8217;t exercise properly, if at all.&nbsp; The average person doesn&#8217;t know how to make the right foods selections and maintain a healthy diet.&nbsp; The average person doesn&#8217;t apply themselves mentally and emotionally to maintain relatively stress free living.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">If this sounds a little bit too much like you, the good news is you don&#8217;t have to be this person any longer.&nbsp; While it is a shame that today&#8217;s health, fitness, and diet industry is simply confusing more people than it&#8217;s helping, there are a few people and organizations out there that can provide a realistic, effective and efficient approach to breaking past the average healthy life span and living those years full of energy, strength, and vitality.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I get questions from my Fat Burning Furnace readers all the time, after going through the FBF materials, about how they can&#8217;t believe how little exercise I recommend.&nbsp; And even though I&#8217;ve told them up front that they can let go of the aerobics or traditional cardio, many still have trouble doing that.&nbsp; And what I tell them is directly related to the subject of life expectancy and just how much time we really have in our lives.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I tell them that having a lean, strong, and healthy body is great.&nbsp; It&#8217;s one of the most important things we can attain. Period.&nbsp; But, how much time is it worth to you?&nbsp; That&#8217;s the question I asked myself over and over when seeking out my own methods and developing the FBF methods.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Most people, after years and years of trial and error, come to realize that spending several days and hours a week working out is just not worth the trouble.&nbsp; And carefully measuring your food, counting calories, and depriving yourself of nutrient rich foods like whole grain carbohydrates is also something that shouldn&#8217;t be necessary to enjoy a healthy and energy filled life.&nbsp; And it isn&#8217;t.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">What we really should be focusing on is how much time and effort is minimally required to get the results we&#8217;re looking for. Think about that.&nbsp; Not how much, but how much is minimally required.&nbsp; Remember, we&#8217;ve got just 67 healthy years as a starting point&#8230;If I valued my time on this planet, this is what I would be searching for.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">If it really took hours and hours a week and all of that crazy nutrition manipulation to burn fat, build muscle, strength, and cardiovascular health, I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d do it.&nbsp; Not for very long anyway.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve tried that approach, for years, and if you have you know it&#8217;s no fun.&nbsp; And it&#8217;s just not realistic given the demands our lives place on us in today&#8217;s world.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">But as I&#8217;ve mentioned before, you don&#8217;t have to worry about that kind of stuff anymore.&nbsp; The principles in my FBF system allow you to approach your genetic potential for a lean, strong, and healthy body in just minutes each week and with very simple lifestyle changes.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I&#8217;ve been using the FBF principles for a while now.&nbsp; I work out twice each week.&nbsp; I even take a week off entirely every few weeks or so.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t count calories.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t deprive myself of the foods I love.&nbsp; If it&#8217;s my daughter&#8217;s birthday, I eat a piece of cake.&nbsp; I just work the FBF principles and continue to stay in great shape day after day, week after week, year after year.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I work out so little because of the way the workouts are performed and created, and I eat with such flexibility because I stick with the FBF lifestyle, which gives you the power of flexibility and variation that is lacking in most programs.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">What I&#8217;m saying is that I&#8217;ve discovered what is minimally required to give me the health and body that I wanted.&nbsp; And many of my FBF students are doing it as well.&nbsp; Sure I could add another day a week to my workouts, but at this point it would actually be detrimental to my results.&nbsp; I could also start messing with my diet in all sorts of crazy ways, but that would just make my body angry and cause me unneeded stress.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">So, I ask you, are you trying to find what&#8217;s minimally required to get you the results you want?&nbsp; If you truly value your time and the other worthy pursuits in your life, I&#8217;m suggesting that this is exactly what you should be doing.&nbsp; If you don&#8217;t, you may just end up being an average 67 year old with 8 years of poor health to look forward to.</span></p>

<p>If you are like every other yo-yo dieter out there, chances are you have started and stopped several diet plans with no success. The first week is easy. You&rsquo;re full of excitement. You tell yourself &ldquo;this time will be different.&rdquo; The second week is ok, a little harder than the first but you&rsquo;re still sticking to it. And then what happens? You bend the rules a bit and start falling back into your old habits. Why does this happen? Why do we go through this vicious cycle? I&rsquo;ll tell you why. We are focusing on the wrong goal. For whatever reason, we must not perceive our weight loss as being &ldquo;important enough&rdquo; to achieve. So what would be &ldquo;important enough&rdquo; to stick to our new healthy eating habits? Your HEALTH! Nothing in this world is more important than the state of your health. Think about it, your health affects everything else in your life. Once our health is compromised we automatically change our lifestyle habits. Just look at President Clinton. Not until he had the ultimate health scare did he really change his eating and exercise habits. Let&rsquo;s not wait until our bodies completely have a break down before we decide to take care of ourselves. If you feel lousy, everything you do that day is lousy. Likewise, if you feel great, everything you do that day is great. So this year, let&rsquo;s not focus on just losing a few pounds, let&rsquo;s focus on Health, the #1 thing in our lives.</p>
<p>So ask yourself, &ldquo;How important is my health to me? How do I want to live the rest of my life? Sick and feeling horrible or healthy and feeling vibrant? Do I want to play golf and tennis in my retirement or do I want to spend it in the hospital?&rdquo; The answer to these questions will ultimately dictate your weight and your health for the future. Any lifestyle habit that affects your health in a positive way will automatically cause you to lose weight or maintain a good healthy weight.</p>
<p>Follow this checklist towards health and you will see weight come off automatically.</p>
<p><strong>1. Make the time to focus on health.</strong><br />
The number one reason people do not eat healthy or exercise is because they &ldquo;don&rsquo;t have the time&rdquo;. But why is it that once we get sick, have a heart attack, are diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes or cancer, we all of a sudden have the time? This doesn&rsquo;t make any sense. We wait until our bodies have become so ill to finally take measures towards taking care of it. This is the equivalent to never getting an oil change or servicing your car and letting it completely break down before doing anything about it. Prioritize your day. What could possibly be more important than your health? Your children, yes, I agree. But guess what? If something happens to you, who will be there for your children? I know that sounds terrible but it&rsquo;s true. How many times have we heard stories of young children losing parents to heart attacks and strokes? Choose health not only for yourself but for your children as well. Prioritize your day so that making healthy meal choices and exercising are right at the top.</p>
<p><strong>2. Take a long hard look at what you are putting into your body. </strong><br />
For one week, read every ingredient of every food you eat. This could potentially be a scary experience. Some ingredient labels on packaged foods sound more like a college chemistry class than anything we should be eating. As a golden rule, if you can&rsquo;t pronounce it, chances are you shouldn&rsquo;t be eating it. The majority of the foods you should be eating shouldn&rsquo;t even have an ingredients label. They should be vegetables, fruits, raw nuts, chicken, fish, eggs, meat. If you make 90% of your diet, fresh food, I guarantee you will significantly change your weight and your health. No time to make fresh food? (please refer back to #1). Cook more than one portion at a time when you do cook so that there are always healthy leftovers in the fridge. You can always have for lunch leftovers from the night before. Cook several portions of one meal and freeze some. A good example of this is healthy soup or turkey chili. Put a portion of chili in a small Tupperware and freeze. You can grab this when in a hurry for lunch or dinner.</p>
<p><strong>3. How much are you eating?</strong><br />
In the United States, our perception of one portion is extremely distorted. Restaurant portions are about 3 times more than what we should be eating in one sitting. If we become accustomed to seeing this much food on our plate at a restaurant we tend to do the same when we are at home and serve ourselves. According to a study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, women are eating 300 more calories a day and men 168 more calories than 20 years ago. All it takes is 100 extra calories a day to gain 10 pounds a year.</p>
<p>For one week, reduce your portions at lunch and dinner by half. There is no need to &ldquo;clean your plate&rdquo;. Most times what&rsquo;s on your plate is double what you should be eating anyway. If you feel some hunger in the afternoon, add one small apple with a handful of raw nuts as a snack. Your body will quickly become accustomed to the smaller portions and you will eventually not be able to eat as much in one sitting as you did before. Remember, you have access to an abundance of food every day. You don&rsquo;t need to eat it all at once.</p>
<p><strong>4. Drink WATER!</strong><br />
Dehydration has directly been linked to several forms of diseases including colon cancer, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol levels. Many people also mistake thirst for hunger. So it may not be that you&rsquo;re hungry all day, you may just be thirsty and dehydrated. In due time, dehydration will cause a gradual gain in weight from overeating as a direct result of confusion of thirst and hunger sensations.</p>
<p>Take a look at what you are drinking each day.</p>
<p><em>Coffee or Soda (Diet Coke included)?</em> The caffeine in both will dehydrate you even more and will cause you to feel hungrier during the day.</p>
<p><em>Diet drinks and sodas?</em> The artificial sweetener actually enhances your appetite and increases food intake.</p>
<p><em>Orange Juice and other Fruit Juices?</em> The sugar and calories can add up to 10 teaspoons of sugar per drink, which can be anywhere from 150-200 calories. Not to mention the fact that sugar eventually makes you crave more sugar.</p>
<p>Every person should be drinking half of their body weight in ounces of water each day. So if you weigh 150 lbs, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water each day. If you drink coffee or any other caffeinated beverage during the day, the ounces of water needed increases.</p>
<p><strong>5. How much do you move each day?</strong><br />
Your body was designed to move! Your heart is a muscle and must be worked just like every other muscle in your body. You don&rsquo;t have to join a gym to move, you just have to challenge your body and your muscles each and every day. The two best time saving exercise options I always suggest to clients are:</p>
<p>1.Go for a walk. You can go for a walk anywhere and anytime. No time you say? Please refer back to rule #1.</p>
<p>2. Set up your home with some free weights and an exercise ball. You will be amazed at the number of exercises you can do with just your body, some free weights and a stability ball. If you don&rsquo;t know how, hire a trainer to show you or get a good book. Get into the routine of scheduling your exercise time each and every day. No ifs, ands or buts. Make your exercise time more important than phone calls, laundry, errands or lunch dates.</p>
<p>Make a promise to yourself that this time will be about health, not about short term weight loss. Really evaluate how you are treating your body on an everyday basis. Is that the same way you would treat a highly valuable, expensive piece of equipment? Because that&rsquo;s what your body is. There is no amount of money in the world that will buy you another one, so you might as well take really good care of the one you got!</p>
