Losing It

I know how hard it can be to be healthy and stay that way! Trust me…I know all too well! I’ve found though that there are simple things you can do to help motivate and persuade you to want to be stay fit and healthy, so I figured I would share them with you! Eating a well-balanced diet and staying physically active sometimes doesn’t cut it for so many people out there, so try these suggestions to help vamp up your normal routine.

1. Be an early bird. If you maintain a pretty tight schedule, then try working out in the morning. This way you cannot procrastinate and find reasons why not to work out after you get home later in the evening.

2. Add some flare to your workouts and switch up your routines. If you do cardio, try something besides the treadmill or elipticall like rollerbladding, swimming or cycling. If you’re in the gym doing circuits for instance, try doing them outside and enjoy the weather while doing so! Mixing up your routine will help keep you focused and interested in working out.

3. Embrace your body and curves. I believe that you will not always be confident in what you have to work with, but embrace it anyway. Find that inner confidence, be happy and then kick your own butt! If you have goals, work hard to attain them. Remember that great bodies don’t grow on trees!

Good Luck Ladies!

 Eat an Apple A Day

 Your elders always knew what they were talking about when they pounded this phrase into your head. Well apparently, an apple a day helps the pounds go away too according to recent studies conducted at Penn State. The study found that the participants who ate fruit before meals consumed around 12-15% fewer calories than those who didn’t eat any fruit. When eating an apple know that you will be spending more time chewing, which will make you feel fuller on fewer calories!

Pick up the Pace People

 This is a role call to all walkers or runners.  Need to drop a few inches fast? We found a way to, speed up! When you pick up the pace in your step you will help burn more calories overall which translates into pounds being shed!

Set attainable goals               

Setting goals is not hard as long as you set one for yourself that can be attained. Determine what kind of goal you’d like to set, write it down and put it somewhere you will see it everyday! (Like your fridge) Remind yourself that you set this goal and be determined to achieve it!  Inspire or motivate yourself in everyway you possibly can to help you reach your goal and surround yourself with healthy options. If it is easier for you to keep note of your progress to help achieve your goal then keep a journal. 
 

Buyer Beware…Always Read the fine print

 Examine the calorie count on menus or nutritional labels before you consume!

 
Making some of these simple changes can help you lose weight faster! Good Luck!

1. It is advertised only at 3 a.m. Do not believe everything you see on TV, anyone can buy an infomercial.

2. “Cabbage Soup” is part of the name. Many diets featuring grapefruit, eggs or any single food will only work in the short term. Besides there is a limit to how much cabbage one can eat before you feel nauseous and bloated and have your calorie intake drop to a semi-starvation level.

3. There are drastic before and after photos. Don’t give into the hype on ads that rely heavily on sensational testimonials, like “I lost 100lbs eating ice cream!” Read the fine print always! By law, weight loss claims must be representative of all clients or include a disclaimer that states results are not “typical”.

4. You practically need a chemistry degree to understand what you’re consuming. There is no science behind the notion that digesting different foods simultaneously produces toxins that make you gain weight. Don’t fall for that not “allowed” to eat fruit with other foods, or protein and carbs during the same meal. Your body can multitask!

5. It says you will keep weight off forever. Anytime you go off a diet you risk returning to the chip chewing, couch potato ways that made you overweight in the first place. The best route to long term weight loss is sensible eating and exercise.

6. It bans an entire level of the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. If you fail to take in the prescribed nutrients you body needs, your health may suffer.

7. It requires you to trace your ancestry. There is no evidence to support eating like a caveman or tailoring a diet to your blood type will help you lose weight. Use your energy to trace your family history for disease instead.

8. Foods your mom said were good for you are now verboten. It is utter nonsense if someone tells you that foods like beets, bananas and carrots cause us to store excess sugar as fat. The only thing that causes people to store fat is too many calories.

9. An acceptable breakfast is a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon. Seriously? Wake up people. The average low-carb/high protein dieter gets an enormous 50% of his/her calories from fat, which ups the risk of kidney and heart disease.

10. It claims weightloss is effortless. . Saying that would be like saying that bikini waxes and childbirth are a painless breeze!  Don’t ever think that weight loss is effortless. Losing weight takes planning and major commitment, but the rewards are well worth it!

Beware of popping certain pills if you’re headed to the gym. Some over-the-counter and prescription medications can make exercise dangerous. What to watch out for:

- Cold medications, diet pills, allergy remedies and some herbal weight loss teas. Many of these contain compounds that can increase your pulse, which can lead to a dangerously high heart rate.

- Antiobiotics (Fuluroquinolones). These are usually prescribed for upper-respiratory, intestinal and urinary tract infections. They may cause tendon inflammation and an increased risk of serious tendon injuries.

- Antihistamines. They can cause drowsiness and decrease your reaction time, balance and coordination.

Be aware of any and all of the medication you might be taking prior to exercising. If you have any concerns with some of the over-the-counter or prescribed medication you might be on, contact your doctor with questions.

High Fiber Foods

High fiber diets help promote weight loss and requires you to chew food longer than other foods. This process allows time for your body to realize it is full and helps you from overeating. Alongside with weight loss, fiber is most commonly known to help relieve constipation, and is very beneficial to reducing the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

You should shoot for about 30-35 grams of dietary fiber per day if you are a man, and 20-25 grams if you are a woman. This is definitely an attainable amount to aim for daily. Try and eat at least 5 servings of veggies and/or fruit, beans, peas, nuts and seeds, and at least a couple of servings of whole grains throughout your day. If you eat bread, make sure the package says whole grain, not whole wheat or multigrain. Those breads are stripped of the important vitamins and fiber you’re looking for. If for some reason you or your body refuse to implement these sources of fiber, then we suggest looking into taking some kind of Fiber supplement. It is nice and very convenient to eat a high Fiber diet because it is not hard to make healthy food choices.

With it being summertime and all, one of the most talked about (and marketed) areas in fitness is getting your abs to show. There are so many abdominal exercises and ab-specific exercise machines that it gets a little confusing to figure out what will actually work.

Guess what? If you want to show off your six-pack abs, you have to get rid of the disgusting layer of fat that is covering them! Sit-ups, crunches and any other abdominal exercises you can think of will only take you so far.

Your abs are like any other muscle group. Training them makes them harder and stronger. Think about a powerlifter who carries a lot of body fat. His muscles are big and strong, but can you see the definition in his chest or calves?

I happen to be one of those fortunate individuals who can carry a relatively high amount of body fat, but still see my abs. I hardly ever do abdominal exercises either. I just recently incorporated ab exercises back into my training routine, not because I want to see them better, but because I want to strengthen my core.

So stop wasting your time and money on the latest late-night infomercial that is promising you’ll cut inches off of your waist just from their one new and amazing piece of equipment. If you pay attention to these commercials, they always have the disclaimer which states something like; “Results not typical. Individual results may vary.” They have to make sure that if you don’t get the results you’re looking for, they can’t be held responsible.

So how do you get your abs to start showing? Proper diet is key! This is a whole other topic which is too extensive for right now, but if you want a sexy stomach that’ll get you lots of attention at the beach, pool, or any other place you plan on showing off your abs, how you eat is going to make or break your abdominal progress.

Learn About Herbal Ephedra 

The herbal ephedra plant has been used for thousands of years all across the world. In ancient times over 2000 years ago it was found in China and used to help treat symptoms of the flu, cold, coughing and other bronchial conditions. The Chinese would harvest the herbal ephedra plant during the autumn / fall season. Once harvested they would then lay out the plant to dry and boil the prepped sections of the ephedra. The final step of the harvest would be to roast the sections allowing all the water to be completely evaporated. At this point the herbal ephedra plant would be ready to help treat the cold, flu and other miscellaneous conditions, along with body pain.

Herbal Ephedra began to be used in other areas of the world as well, which includes: Northern India, Pakistan, United States, Mexico and other areas. There are several species of the Herbal Ephedra Plant in different regions of the world.

In Northern India and Pakistan, individuals would use the dried stems of Ephedra antisyphilitica, an Ephedra Plant Specie found within the region. Many compare this particular plant to ephedrine because they believe it provides the same adrenergic drug. The Pakistanians would use it as an bronchodilator, which is what ephedrine is used for in orthodox medicine.

In the West Texas and the Mexico Region, Herbal Ephedra was harvested and used to make Mormon Tea, Desert Tea, along with Teamaster Tea, which was prepared from the Ephedra trifurca specie. These teas became very popular and were used for their stimulating effects.

The Herbal Ephedra Plant is prepared very similar to coffee and tea. It would be harvested, prepped and then brewed into a beverage to drink at your convenience. It would provide individuals with the wanted stimulate effect, similar to what you receive from products containing caffeine, however more potent.

Presently and for the past 2 decades or so, Herbal Ephedra has been used to help promote weight loss. It has become the most effective and popular fat burner among consumers, however not without the attention from the FDA. When Diet Pills with Ephedra first hit the market, they would be formulated with Ephedra Alkaloids also known as Ma Huang. In the early 1990’s the FDA began doing research and analyzing the effects of Ephedra Diet Pills.

The FDA commissioned the Rand Corporation to perform research and analyze the safety of Ephedra Products containing the alkaloid chemical. Concluding their research, Rand Corporation had learned that Ephedra Alkaloids / Ma Huang will in deed help individuals lose weight, however there was that possibility it can provide side effects to individuals.

The research done by Rand Corporation led to variety of new laws, bans, etc.. concerning Ephedra. The FDA has taking the issue to court several times and it has been a constant battle for the past 15-20 years. In that time there have been bans implemented and then reversed, rulings to decrease the amount of Ephedra per serving and now products containing Ephedra Alkaloids have been completely banned in the United States.

Where does Herbal Ephedra stand now in the United States, you may be wondering. Well, there are rumors that it is illegal to sell and purchase. However, that is not the truth. Here is the deal with Herbal Ephedra. The fact is there are several different species of Ephedra in the world. The ban that was implemented was for products containing the alkaloid chemical. So, what this means is that other Herbal Ephedra Plant Species can still be used for weight loss products, teas, etc…

Currently Ephedra Diet Pills are still being manufactured, sold and shipped throughout the US. The new formulations are developed from the Ephedra viridis species, also known as Mormon Tea, Ephedra Extract or Ephedra Leaves. Products such as Green Stinger, Yellow Bullet, Ultimate Burn and many more are still highly effective to burn fat, increase energy levels, improve your concentration, etc.. The new products have received great reviews stating they are just as good as the Ma Huang products.

I hope this blog post will help clarify what many of you may have been hearing! You can find a great selection of legal Ephedra Diet Pills at I-Supplements for everyday low prices.

Answer:

One of our customer service operators asked me to answer this one because it is asked many times an hour.  So I thought about and (drum roll-please) here is the…

 Top Six Reasons Why We can not tell you Which Fat Burner is the Best:

1. The companies are being vague so comparing labels is not possible.  Thanks to our idiotic FDA now all companies are not sharing important information.  For instance, we typically see  ”Ephedra Extract” and the mgs – the important info is missing – the standardization of the raw material.  Maybe no one but me remembers the 8% vs 10% ephedra game from the 90’s.  To Jimmy the Guru its like saying “you got caffiene without clarifying whether it’s coffee – red bull – expresso – or a caffiene pill.  They are trying to steer clear of our irratic FDA – they banned ephedrine HCL (synthetic man-made) super clean ephedrine – they don’t have the authority to ban “natural” ma huang ephedra extract.  That’s why it is back on the market.  So it turns out – it is really about how you feel on the Fat Burner.
2. Everyone is different and are effected differently by different Fat Burners.  I had the realization when my small circle of old school gym dogs began to disagree about which fat burner is best.  These are ephedrine connoiseurs – on similar healthy food plans – all workout masters and supplement mad scientists.  They don’t agree.  So it turns out – it is really about how you feel on the Fat Burner.  
3. The “proprietary blend” and support ingredients are part of the magic of Fat Burners.  If you have not noticed almost all “Fat Burners” are – Ephedrine – Caffiene and Asprin with a blend of other ingredients that the creators feel makes their fat burner the best.  Fat activators, fat metabolizers, lipotropics factors and all kinds of ingredients that help the products work better. This only further compounds the problem posed in reason #2.  SO it turns out – it is really about how you feel on the Fat Burner.
4. The Lifestyle of the Makes a Big Difference.  Are you doing cardio? How much? Are you consuming enough fluids for the falt burners to work?  Do you eat like crap?  Do you workout?  What body type are you?  See what I mean?  So it turn out – it’s really about how you feel on the Fat Burner.
5. I like to be super alert and feel comfortable that way – you might be the opposite.  I call it buzz preference.  So it turns out – it is really about how you feel on the fat burner.
6. Other Sciency Stuff Comes Into Play – Your Metabolism, adrenal gland health, stomach pH levels, digestion and assimilation.  So (yep gonna say it again) it turns out – it is really about how you feel on the Fat Burner.

Now you know not to ask “which fat burner is the Best” – There is no right answer. So, now what?  Well ,here is my suggestion to handle the problem with guru logic…

 Jimmy Tip: Create a Top 3 List

Start to identify the Products you like and the ones you don’t like.  Find three that you like.  Then, just rotate those three Fat Burners.  Every now and then try a new Fat Burners coming out – see if it is better than your Top 3. 

Happy Wednesday -Tax Day !

Answer:

“I’m fat.”

“I wanna lose weight.”

“My clothes don’t fit.”

“If someone would just tell me what to eat.”

“I gonna get workin’ out”

Who has not heard this rambling from a friend or loved one? Let me break it down with some tough love – Jimmy Style. I have coached thousands of people to new bodies and I want to share the common threads in the succesfull programs I have seen during my many years as a fitness coach. Most everyone in the USA ( Califorina excluded lol ) need to grasp these concepts now. Remember – brushing teeth was once an unusual new idea. Trust me, you don’t want to be left behind on this one. Your LIFE and how well you live it are at stake.

Five Rules for Rapid Weight Loss:

• Stop eating garbage – This means you. Take a good look. I bet there is poor- refined – processed food in your diet every single day. Few poeple can truly claim to eat healthy. Work hard at it and you will see the benefits fast.
• Start eating food – Real food. This is harder than you think in our world. Ask yourself as you hold the food in your hand, “did it grow or live on the planet?”. The health food industry has blurred the common sense of many americans and I hope for better regulation in health food advertising.
• Do NOT ingest sugar – None - “Sugar is the Devil” I often joke. The truth is sugar everywhere. You will be shocked as you start to limit it.
• Start Lifting Weights – This is no longer up for debate. Every human should be involved in resistance training of some kind. The major muscle groups, connective tissues and the bones they are attached to REQUIRE load to maintain health and stamina. Period. Get your a$! to the Gym.
• Walk Everyday - Not kidding on this either. The Surgeon General even says so. You will not be able to do this overnight. Work towards it. It won’t be that bad – you got used to brushing your teeth everyday didn’t you.

There you have it – Do them all for 60 days and you will probably lose more than twenty pounds. Good luck. Stay Focused.

Pain is Fear Leaving the Body,
