Tips For Better Wieght Loss Results

Do you ever find when you want to lose weight, you immediately start craving bad foods and are always hungry? Even the use of diet pills leaves you staring in the cupboards for something, anything. You are not alone. It is kind of like when someone says “don’t look now, but…” do you really have any choice but to look immediately? It takes a strong person to bypass the desire to do an activity they are all of a sudden “not allowed” to do.

You can go your whole life without wanting a brownie. That is until you are “not allowed” to have one. I am not a “sweets” person, but when I am getting ready for a fitness competition and no longer able to dabble in temptations, I suddenly want candy bars and ice cream. After the show, when I can indulge, I’d rather have chicken and a salad…just isn’t right.

There are some tricks that you can use to help your cravings as you pursue your goals in weight management. It takes more than a great diet pill, it takes thought and planning.

American Dietetic Association spokesperson Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, recommends:
  • Eat plenty of low-calorie vegetables to help you feel full.
  • Drink plenty of water so you don't confuse hunger with thirst.
  • Clear the house of tempting foods.
  • Stay busy to prevent eating out of boredom.
  • Eat only from a plate (not from the container), while seated at a table.
  • Always eat three meals and one snack daily -- no skipping meals.
Weighing yourself daily and tracking your food intake can also help you stay on track focused. The conscious act of writing down your progress, or lack there of, can help you avoid temptation through out the day and force yourself to choose momentary satisfaction or restraint that will reinforce the big picture. 
"Even if you write it down on a napkin and end up throwing it away, the act of writing it down is about being accountable to yourself and is a very effective tool for weight loss," says Bonnie Taub Dix, MA, RD, a food and nutrition blogger for USA Today.
These simple tricks will help you to reach your goals better than using a diet pill alone. You can expect a little pill to be able to make up for your neglect. Diet pill are not a pass to eat what ever you want. If they were, we wouldn’t have such an epidemic.

Bulk Nutrition: Saving Money on the Products You Use


Bulk Nutrition isn’t just about size, it is about value.
Find Bulk Nutrition at Discount Prices at WorldClassNutrition.com

There is nothing cheap about obtaining that perfect physique you have been dreaming of...regardless of the dream. If you are on a budget, you have probably had to make the hard choice between this product and that product. Sacrificing some the speed in which you could have reached your goals and wasting time and energy.

There is a reason stores like Costco and Sam’s Club are so popular (anyone who knows me, knows my undying love for Costco!): shopping in bulk. Buying a surplus of the stuff you use anyway to save money, lots of it.

Mass by American Sports Nutrition 25lbs ($89.99): An Elite Weight Gain Formula to achieve Maximum Mass through Muscle growth. American Mass by American Sports Nutrition is an elite weight gain formula. Maximum Mass through muscle growth is available when you supplement your diet and workout program with American Mass.

You have to spend a little more than you are used to on the front end to achieve the savings, but the amount of time that goes in between purchases is worth it and the reduced cost per serving is a reward in its self. For example, the 5 pound Mass by American Sports Nutrition is $21.99. It would take 5 of these to equal the amount in the 25 pound container. Five would cost you $109.95 so, it is like buying four and getting one for free.

Steel Bar American Body Building 24 per box ($21.99): Steel Bars Are Back! These boxes contain 24 bars that are all crammed with 16 grams protein and 19 vitamins and minerals, not to mention their crunchy texture and satisfying taste! All for less than a dollar a bar! I repeat, "All this for less than a dollar a bar."

If you went and bought these bars one at a time you could spend up to $4.50 per bar! STOP throwing money down the drain! Keeping bars on hand (in your drawer at work or gym bag) will help you from stopping for fast food or making a run to the vending machine, saving you money and high calorie, diet sabotaging foods.

You can find these deals and so many more at WorldClassNurtition.com

Build Mass: BolaSterol, HaloStane, Arimiplex

Bodybuilding is a highly specialized sport. It is a discipline like no other. It requires attention to details of life that no other sport examines so closely. Diet, cardio, sleep, training, conditioning and supplementation are all down to a science. While other sports end when you leave the field, bodybuilding carries on around the clock. Meals are planned down the half ounce. Supplements are timed down to the minute.

Your life revolves around one goal: to be the biggest and baddest you can. 

It doesn’t matter what type of bodybuilder you are, rather you compete or just like to build symmetrical, dense muscles, there is some type of bodybuilding product required. Even if it is just protein. Depending on your goal, age, and dedication, there are products designed to help you reach your potential and accomplish your goal. There are bodybuilding products that range from simple vitamin/mineral complexes to ensure you are getting enough of each, to pro-hormones to promote muscle building gains that the gym alone won't accomplish.

Wading through all the bodybuilding products can be daunting. You have to think about which product is the right product, and is it a quality company? You have to think about when to take it, how to stack it, how to track its progress…so many bodybuilding products work better in conjunction with other products, but some products can inhibit the absorption and effectiveness.

Because every need is different, WorldClassNutrition.com has experts to help you put together a product recommendation for your specific needs, and the consultations are free. With so many different companies claiming to have the latest and greatest, having an expert on your side will save you time, money and maybe even your health. It is not only frustrating to work hard and not get the results you want, but it can also have negative effects on your health. Why risk it?

Should You Take Nutritional Supplements?

There is a lot of conversation about the need to take nutritional supplements...or not. First off, we need to define the term supplement. To me, and for the purpose of this discussion, supplementation is any nutrient or substance (natural or synthetic) that does not come from your diet. For argument sake, we will omit prescriptions.

There are some nutritional supplements that I think are generally accepted, even if not taken: vitamins and minerals. But there is a world of other supplements out there that are safe and effective and justified.

Most people have a hard time getting in enough protein to support a training regime. That being said, a protein supplement is not only justified but incredibly effective. There are protein supplements for EVERY need, rather you are vegan, on a budget or trying to get jacked. Protein supplements are great for men or women, but they are not all created equal. Often we omit something that could be really great, from a stigma that is fabricated and perpetrated due to a simple lack of education.

Then you have workout nutritional supplements like creatine, nitric oxide products, recovery supplements, endurance supplements and diet aids. Some of these products merely help your body do what it already does, just faster and better, naturally. Other products have synthetic ingredients to 'create' a desired reaction. Just like proteins, not all products are created equally or have the same impact on your body. Some are completely natural and safe, for example: l-glutamine and amino acids. Supplementing with these natural substances that occur in food, just not enough, promotes faster recovery from physical stress (rather from work, chasing the kiddos or killing it in the gym).

There are certainly people who abuse nutritional supplements, and it is these people who have created a negative stigma around a world of possibilities and potential. Like most things in life, if you over do it or abuse it, the possibility of negative consequences are endless, but respected and done in moderation can enhance your life. If you have any question on supplements, which ones you may need, what they do, or if they are safe, you can email me anytime: leslieraestg@yahoo.com.

Sport Supplements Surviving the Heat


Sports Nutritional Supplements have been in the media a lot lately, good and bad. The FDA wants to make the supplement industry out to be a monster, but the turns a blind eye to those that are really threats.

Sports Supplements, like aspirin, can have possible side effects, and negative results if abused. If taken correctly by a healthy individual, sports supplements are great ways to maximize an athlete’s ability and create gains faster. Nitric-oxide is one of the hottest ingredients in workout supplements right now. 

NO-BOMB, one of Maximum Human Performance’s (MHP) newest products, is one of the biggest breakthrough in pump-maximizing nitric oxide supplementation. MHP scientists have raised the bar with the development of NO-BOMB, the first-ever formula to use a full Sigma-tau certified clinical dose of the patented pharmaceutical compound GlycoCarn (GPLC). At the clinically dosed 4.5 grams, GlycoCarn has been confirmed to be far superior to Arginine and AAKG in boosting nitric oxide levels to help trigger greater pumps and muscle growth.

Benefits:
·        Recovery
·        Lactic Acid Removal
·        Fat Burning
·        Energy

MHP is a recognized leader in strength sports and the choice of top pro bodybuilders, but they are also the choice for millions of amateur athletes from all sports, as well as, fitness enthusiasts. MHP is dedicated to developing the most technologically advanced supplements to promote health, longevity, and physical performance. MHP, in collaboration with Giampapa Institute of Anti-Aging, have developed a complete line of supplements unlike any other.

When you are seeking out a company dedicated to delivering quality sports supplements you can be confident leaning on MHP.

Reviews:

Just finished a chest workout and NO-BOMB gives me a killer pump. I feel the pump for the full workout so much that it's almost painful! My strength is up in most of my exercises and I push out more reps per set. NO-BOMB is the best NO product I've ever used!!! Great when stacked with basic creatine, but if you need a psycho boost, try it with Dark Rage! Highly recommend this stuff!!!

Looking for Hope in a Bottle?


Weight loss supplements are more common than a summer sale. They have more variations than dance re-mixes and none of it is very consumer friendly. It is hard to know which weight loss claims are legit and which supplement health ‘warnings’ are real.

When you are looking for a good weight loss supplement, pay attention. Don’t get caught up in the hype and empty promises. There is no such thing as a miracle pill, no such thing. If there were, do you think there would be such the weight loss epidemic? Nope.

Most of the ‘results’ and testimonies are not typical, not even close. They are the one in a million cases, or they are the result of the energy supplied in executing all the recommendations: combining said product with diet and exercise.

You just are not going to find a “get out of fat free” card. There are supplements that will suppress your appetite and as a result you may eat less and lose fat. And, there are others that will raise your metabolism and cause you to burn more calories that will drop a few pounds.

Weight loss supplements are only as effective as the motivation of the individual. Getting the most out of a supplement will only happen when you put the most in to your endeavor. If there were something that could take the fat off without any extra effort or changing your diet, do you really think gyms would be so packed? Do you REALLY think that so many people would spend the time away from friends and family to sweat after putting in a full day of work, or wake up before creation to hit the gym?

These people know that the weight loss supplements they are taking are to aid there goals and help them reach them sooner.

Read the back of the bottle. You don’t necessarily have to know what each are, but if two bottles have the same ingredients at about the same ratio, go with the best price. Shop online and save big! Just know that you will have to put in more energy than entering your credit card number and mailing address.

Summer Is Upon Us

Memorial Day has passed and we are head first into summer!! Bikini season and neighborhood BBQ's are looming. Pull out the shorts and tank tops and get ready!!

Summer is the season for vacations! The kids are out of school and the beach is waiting. Just because you are on vacation doesn't mean you should take a week off training. Personally, I love going to 'new' gyms! I get my hardest workouts when I am in a new environment for some reason; it couldn't be my pride wanting to show out (haha). Any way, back to you...one of the hardest parts of training while out of town is having your supplements. After being in such a rhythm, sometimes it feels like a waste of time without protein, pre and post-workout supplements, especially with the regulations like they are on fights.

There are some simple solutions. Measure out your protein in little baggies so you aren't carrying around a tub of protein. Do the same with your other supplements and label the baggies, but make sure to put them in a large bag in case there are any punctures or accidents. That way you aren't shaking protein and Super Pump 250 out of your swimsuit!

Even if you don't plan on working out, you still need your supplements. It is too easy to miss meals or miss certain nutrients on vacation and it is unnecessary. Take your protein and help your body maintain your physique. A week off of training is bad enough without adding insult to injury by depriving your body of the tool to try and keep its progress!
