Fat Loss Lie #3: You can believe everything you read in the magazines. Most magazine publishers own supplement companies and use their magazines as the primary means for promoting their products. Certain we known magazines have been doing this for decades. One day, it dawned on the rest of them that more money could be made selling supplements han selling advertising or subscriptions. Before long, every publisher umped on the bandwagon and started supplement companies. You see, magazines have mega-credibility. After all, they can’t print a lie right there on paper, can they? If its in print, it must be true, right? They’d get in some kind of trouble with an “alphabet agency” otherwise, wouldn’t hey? Maybe. Maybe not. Editorials are more believable than advertising (that’s why they try to mak ads look so much like articles these days). Most people will believe almos anything if it’s printed in a "reputable" medium such as a nationally circulated magazine. That's why

Fat Loss Lie #2: The only way to get really lean is to "starve" yourself. Most commercial diet programs are very low in calories. Many border on starvation: 1200 calories, 1000 calories, even 800 calories or less! Ironically, the more you slash your calories, the more your metabolism slows down. In fact, very low calorie diets can actually make you fatter! It’s physiologically impossible to achieve permanent fat loss by starving yourself. When you eat less, your body burns less. When you eat more, your body burns more. It’s the ultimate paradox. Very low calorie diets not only slow your metabolism so you burn fewer calories, they can also cause muscle loss. Eventually, they shut down your metabolism completely. When this happens, the weight loss stops and any increase in calories that follows will cause immediate fat gain. This “rebound effect” is inevitable, because no one can stay on low calories forever. “Dieting is not effective in controlling weight. You can get a

Fat Loss Lie #1: You need supplements to lose fat. Exercise, nutrition and the proper mental attitude (positive self-image) are the only things you need to lose fat permanently. Supplements are not a requirement. Some basic supplements are helpful for “nutritional insurance,” and some supplements can help speed up the fat loss process a little, but not nearly as much as the advertising leads you to believe. Even supplements that have been proven effective are only responsible for a small fraction of the results you achieve. Based on 20 years of experience in bodybuilding and fitness, I believe that at least 97% of your results will come from good training and good nutrition. If most of your results come from nutrition and training, then why would you chase after that last 3% “edge” if you haven’t even maximized the first 97%? Isn’t that approach completely backwards? FOCUS ON YOUR DIET AND TRAINING PROGRAMS FIRST! Believe it or not, advanced trainees, competitive bodybuilders or athle

If you've ever walked into a health food store and asked for information about supplements... If you’ve ever read any one of the many popular bodybuilding or fitness magazines... If you've ever bought the latest best-selling diet book... If you’ve ever watched late night TV and listened to a diet or fitness guru preach about an amazing new diet, exercise machine or supplement... If you’ve ever surfed the web for information about diet, nutrition or training... If you’ve ever done ANY of these things, then chances are... YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO, MY FRIEND! Are you shocked? Surprised? Outraged? If so, then join the club - you're not alone. Honest information about nutrition and fat loss is harder to come by than ever before, and nearly everyone has been misled at one time or another. I know I have. There are three reasons why it's so hard to find truthful information today: 1) Money (Greed). Weight loss is a 30 billion-dollar a year industry. With this kind of money at

Everyone is talking about The Secret. I guess it's time for me to through my two cents worth into the discussion, so here it is: There really isn't a "secret". There's quantum physics, there's the power of positive thinking, there's reaping what we sow - it's all the same and it's really nothing new. But everyone wants to know how to make The Secret work. Presented here are some questions you can ask yourself and some ideas to explore that will help lead you to a more positive place in your life, thus creating a more positive future. Let's get started. - Do I accept the person I am? Do I really know who I am, or am I trying to be someone I think I should be? These questions are extremely difficult for some people to answer, and yet it's important to living a positive lifestyle to know the answers. Many of us have never taken the time to answer these questions and may be afraid of what the answers would be. We might disappoint ourselves or s

The alchemy of focus is changing the lead in your life into gold because you always get more of what you focus on. Here is a complete blueprint on how to use focus to turn lead into gold. Your focus stimulates you in many ways. It connects with your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It influences your ingenuity and your energy levels. And it sets the law of attraction to move in a particular direction to bring you more of what you focus on. The way to get full value out of focus is to improve your skills at it. First, decide on what you really, really want and make that your focus. Just one thing which will give you a feeling of massive satisfaction when you succeed in it. It could be working on your business, improving your relationship, or experiencing health and vitality. What in your life is not working for you? What one thing could you change that would improve everything else? When you can answer those two questions, then you will have found what you need to focus on. Second, deci
