Never Going Back To OK

Did you know you actually have more than one type of fat in your body?  Sounds strange doesn't it?  Fat is fat, right?  If you look at yourself in the mirror and see something that jiggles... it's fat, right? Well, the truth is that scienctists have actually discovered your body has more than one type of fat, and the really cool thing is that the amount of each "type" of fat actually changes as you age. For the purposes of this article, we're only going to discuss 2 different types of body fat: “White Fat” and “Brown Fat” The White Fat tissue is what you usually think of as “fat” - the kind of fat that sits on your hips, butt, belly, and thighs. It’s the fat most people are trying to get rid of through diet and exercise. Brown Fat Tissue, on the other hand, contains a much higher concentration of something called mitochondria, which are like “mini power stations” in your body and  one of their roles is to  burn fat to be used for energy… ...

Now I will preface this by saying that this specific exercise  does  NOT increase fat burning  , but it CAN help to  flatten your stomach  by strengthening your deeper transversus abdominis muscles and hence "pulling in" a lazy stomach (aka beer belly or "pooch belly"). It involves doing an exercise called " ab vacuums  "... I find it a good time to get in the habit of doing daily ab vacuums while driving on your daily commute or another time that would get you in the habit of doing them regularly. (please make sure this doesn't distract you from driving safely... I find that it doesn't distract me at all, since you can keep your eyes on the road at all times and both hands still on the wheel...it's certainly much safer than driving while on a cell phone!) Of course, ab vacuums can be done anywhere and at anytime and don't have to be just for driving, but I've found that it helps me to remember to do them if I do them...

Believe it or not, the key to losing weight, and keeping it off, while naturally boosting your energy, isn’t about the latest diet or ‘insane’ workout… It’s about unlocking and using your body’s 'secret' tricks to help you win the unfair battle you fight with your stubborn fat. Tricks like… Trick #84   - The "mobile phone trick": I'll bet you never thought of using technology like this before Trick #76   - The "high-low trick": A 2-step tactic to  get rid of embarrassing chest fat for good! Trick #73   - The "vacuum trick": No, it has nothing to do with lyposuction...but it could  strip as much as 1 full inch from your waist in just 30 days! Trick #58   - The "boob tube trick": A funny technique for how you watch TV that can actually help you lose weight fast! (It's true!) Trick #9   - The "post workout fat melting elixir": This drink has been used for over 4,000 years, but only recently has it also been discov...

At this point, the anti-fat propaganda has died and almost everybody understands by now that eating fat doesn't necessarily make you fat.  In fact, it's absolutely imperative to get enough healthy fats in your diet to keep your hormones balanced, blood sugar under control, and prevent cravings.  Here are 7 examples of "fatty" foods that can actually HELP you to get lean... 1.  Super Dark Chocolate  (at least 72% cacao content or higher) It might not be a secret anymore, but yes, dark chocolate (NOT milk chocolate) can be a very healthy food, even though it is technically calorie dense.  However, I would contend that dark chocolate can actually HELP you to burn off more body fat if you're the type of person that has a sweet tooth and likes to eat a lot of desserts.  In this case, just 1 or 2 small squares of dark chocolate can many times satisfy your sweet tooth for only 30 or 40 calories as opposed to 500 calories for a piece of c...

I bet you didn't know that there is a  specific class  of vegetables that contain very unique phytonutrients that actually help to fight against stubborn belly fat. Let me explain what these unique vegetables are and why they help to burn stomach fat... Chemicals that force your body to hold onto belly fat  Something you may have never heard about is that certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from air and water pollution, household cleaners, plastics, cosmetics, etc can react with your hormones and make your body store excess abdominal fat. These  harmful chemicals  are known as  xenoestrogens  . Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to (and are hard to avoid in the modern world) that have an estrogenic effect in your body.  Excess exposure to these can cause hormone balance disruptions for  both men and women. So if you thought this...

The average doctor receives about 8 to 25 hours of Nutrition training in their entire career. It takes 7 years to become a doctor AFTER they’ve finished their bachelor’s degree. That means they spend less than a tenth of a percent of their education learning about nutrition and how it affects your health. What’s even worse is the information they do learn is the same outdated information that’s made America the obesity capitol of the world. The problem is doctors aren’t taught to treat problems. They’re taught to treat symptoms. The entire medical establishment is designed to diagnose a problem and then treat the symptoms with medication. Their training isn’t the only problem…they’re also financially incentivized by Pharmaceutical Companies to prescribe drugs. If they can keep you fat and sick so you have to keep taking their drugs then they keep making money I’m not saying these doctors are bad people. They’re just misinformed. And don’t get me wrong. Western Medicine is INCREDIBLE…w...

Due to biochemical reactions in your body that occur with every type of food you eat on a daily basis, some foods age you FASTER than your real age, while other foods help to FIGHT aging. Eat the wrong foods regularly, and you can look and feel 10 or more years OLDER than your real age (not fun!) ... but eat the right foods, and over time, you can start to look 5-10 years YOUNGER than your real age. Three of the processes that go on inside your body that have a MAJOR impact on your rate of aging are called  "glycation", "inflammation", and "oxidation"  .  When we talk about aging, we're not just talking about wrinkles on your skin or how thick your hair is... we're also talking about factors that you can't see, such as how well your organs function, and whether your joints are degrading. Yes, I'm sure you'll agree this is much more important than just how you look on the surface (although we'll show you how to improve B...

You're bombarded with toxins in today's modern world... everywhere from the polluted air you breathe, the water you drink, the shampoos and other cosmetics that lather your body with chemicals, and of course, all of the chemical additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and other harmful compounds in the food that you eat. All of these TOXINS can have harmful effects on your body, harming your metabolism and hormones, impairing your digestive system, and zapping your energy levels. If I could tell you ONE thing that you could do  each morning  right as you wake up to help your body  eliminate some of these toxins, improve your digestion, stimulate your metabolism, and BOOST your energy  , would you do it? Of course you would... and it takes less than 1 minute! Here's the trick... Immediately upon waking each day, squeeze about 1/2 to 1 full lemon (depending on size of the lemon) into an 8 oz glass of warm or room temperature purified water.  This...

“If you want to change how your body looks on the outside…you have to change what’s inside.” That’s the sentence that cracked the “fat loss code” for me. I know it may sound a little weird but I’ll explain it in just a minute. First, I have an odd question to ask you… Why are there so many fat doctors in America? Think about it. Have you ever had an overweight doctor? Chances are you have. If these people are the leaders of health in our country, then why are they just as unhealthy as the rest of the population? Something must be wrong… According to a  Physicians Health Study , 40% of the 19,000 doctors were overweight and 23% were obese. That means over half of the doctors in America are overweight. And here’s even worse news… Overweight and obese physicians report significantly less confidence than their normal-weight colleagues in giving their patients diet or exercise counseling. The average doctor receives about 8 to 25 hours of Nutrition training in thei...

Getting older is a fact of life… every year on your birthday, it ticks up another year, but… That does NOT mean your body, mind, joints, and energy have to deteriorate  , leaving you with joint & muscle aches and pains, brain fog, a slow metabolism, blood sugar problems & diabetes, zero energy, relying on a medicine cabinet full of pills just to get you moving in the morning, etc. You have a LOT of control over how your body feels as you get older, but the problem is you’ve been lied to and misled about the foods, spices, drinks, and movements to make you feel better and lose weight. In fact, it’s  NOT your fault  if you're over 50 and your mind & body feel 20 years older… You’ve been told for years that foods like canola oil are healthy, and to avoid coconut oil, when that’s an outright lie - the fact is foods like canola oil, whole wheat bread, and more can age your body FASTER, while foods like coconut oil, grass-fed butter, avocados, and other heal...
