[audio] Insane amount of free diet information!

Written by Jon on September 8th, 2010

Scott Colby, CPT just interviewed me recently for “Fit Pros Against Cancer.” My job: Help give away a TON of free fitness information to his listeners as they called into the show. And I think I did a pretty good job. You tell me… ; ) Here’s what we cover in just about 30 minutes… How much fat can you burn (and inches can you lose) in just 6 days?… How to make fatloss “easier” (not ‘easy’… but easier!)… What to do about perimenopause and menopause stress and the fat-gain that comes with it… AND… The “Stress-Free” dietplan for women who fight the “pooch” or who are going through perimenopause or menopause! Is exercise worthless if you sit down while you work?… What about ...

“Micro-Session” Cardio Works Best

Written by Jon on September 7th, 2010

Several recent studies have pointed to the validity of doing very short cardio sessions (10 minutes) several times a day as being as beneficial… or even better… than one longer session. I agree, assuming you do some form of interval work in your cardio sessions. In fact, unless you want to drop a lot of bodyfat, you can get by with one 9-minute session a day if you do it right. Quick Start: Try three super-short sessions with at least a 2-3 minute higher-intensity ‘burst’ in the middle. You do not have to go to the gym to do this. You can do this by walking stairs, stepping up and down on a low platform, or even walking outside. Let’s face it: 10 minutes is a lot easier on the brain than 30 minutes… and just as good. For More Information: When you pick up ...

The “Cost” of Eating Healthy

Written by Jon on September 5th, 2010

One of the biggest myths out there is the myth that eating healthy costs too much. Just the opposite… and I’ll prove it to you in three ways. #1: Cash Here’s some sample figures courtesy of my friend Scott Tousignant’s fitness blog… 2 medium size sweet potatoes $1 or… small fries from a fast food joint 2 red peppers $1 or… a can of pop Bowl of oatmeal with fruit & protein powder $2 or… large bag of chips 6 Chicken Breasts $10 or… a sub combo from a fast food joint 18 eggs $3.50 or… a burger from a fast food joint 2 salmon fillets $15 or… large pizza Loaded chicken salad (homemade) $3 or… bag of cookies Large bag of oatmeal $3.50 or… 4 chocolate bars Not much of a comparison, it is? Yet the foods on the left would feed a family of two or more ...

THIS Makes You Gain Weight

Written by Jon on August 31st, 2010

Caution: This sounds like a silly question, but it’s really the most important question you can ask: “What REALLY makes me increase my bodyfat?” Is it too many calories? Sure. That’s one part. But I know people who can eat 4-5K calories a day and not add an ounce. Is it dietary fat? Rarely if ever. Fat is necessary to melt bodyfat. It is true that fat has more calories per gram than protein or carbs, but let’s look at this logically: 40% protein; 40% carbs; 20% fat = 40% fat; 40% protein; 20% carbs So… no. Increasing your dietary fat does not mean you’ll get fatter… UNLESS… ready? Your insulin levels are too high. Elevated insulin is not only the prime cause of diabetes and a sign of being hypoglycemic, but it’s also the ...
