4evertoned- One stop solution to a lean, toned You

Don't think I forgot about you. In fact all
week long I've been thinking about what to write
you. I wanted it to be something that you could
use right now to help you get in the best shape
of your life.

I know that phrase sort of seems to be thrown
around there but my true passion is to provide
you with information that you can use today to
help YOU.

Getting in shape is not easy that both you and I
know far to well. But when you have the right
'tools' it does not have to be as hard either.

This week I'd like to share with you a video
on how to figure out how many calories the foods
you're eating have and how to put together a
sample eating plan that works for you.

Now there are many resources out there that will
help you do this such as Meal Plans 101

All over the world there are charities for
people who are in need. Funds are being
raised all for a greater cause. Well now
it's time to help a huge cause that is
taking the world by a storm and you can help.

Recently my mentor Alwyn Cosgrove a cancer
survivor TWICE talked about how people could help
take a stand and help raise money so that the
necessary research can be done to help with the
battle against cancer.

In his efforts to raise money for this cause he's
put together one of the most jammed pack information
on anything and everything that's fitness. It's
over 900 PAGES of material!

All the proceeds will be donated to the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society.

Some of the top fat loss coaches best ways to
help increase the amount of calories you burn
post-workout are known as tabata intervals.

Because I wanted you all to see what it's
like to train in such an intense fashion,
I went looking online and found a great
example of it.

Yesterday I featured a special interview that
went into detail about Fat Loss Training.
With the summer rapidly approaching people are
looking for all the get fit quick methods to getting
in shape.

But one thing I wanted to point out was the
number 1 mistake that Jimmy Smith says he sees with
people trying to drop fat and that's patience.

I've also seen it myself where clients are frustrated
with what they see on the scale and fail to realize
how better they feel and the way their clothes fit
them better than before.

What most have to realize is, if you've sat around
for a long period of time and then get back into
training again you develop muscle a lot faster
thus the number on the scale may change slightly
or not at all.

Do not forget that muscle is crucial to achieve
long term success with your fat loss program.

Just something to think about moving forward.

This is going to be a quickie.
Last week I wrote a featured article on living
life pain free. This is something that I feel
most fitness professionals shy away from.
One fitness professional that doesn't is
Michael Boyle. I've had the pleasure of
listening to him present the case of
helping people live life with as
little discomfort as possible.

Check out the article for yourself by
right clicking on the image to the left and
selecting 'save link' as or 'save target as'



After reading the article drop me a line. Let
me know whether or not you're living pain free;
and if not then what are you waiting for?

Short one here.

The other day while standing at a supermarket buying some
ham to make a nice sandwich I saw a person with a load
of juice cartons in their carriage. I was thinking to
myself who was going to drink all of that juice and most
importantly did the person realize what they were doing.

Often people don't realize this but every glass of juice
contains over 100 calories depending on the juice.
If you shaved off 100 calories/day below what's necessary to
maintain your weight, you'd lose approximately 10 lbs for the
entire year.

Now that might not seem like a lot of weight but think
about it. Just cutting out a glass of juice could help
you lose 10 lbs for the entire year. Of course
you'd have to be already at a caloric deficit besides that
but that just baffles me when I see people drink so much
juice.

If you're looking for a lower calorie option try
Crystal Light. It has 5 calories per serving and
I love the taste.

Today it just dawn on me, many of my clients are women
and they all are strong and workout like a bunch
of wild maniacs... After all I put them through there's
very little choice.

I was wondering how many women would be interested in
playing football. Football has been looked at as a
man's game but I really feel it's a game women could
play.

No fitness tips today, just curiosity eating away at me.
I'd love to hear what you women think.

Are you seeing results with your current fitness programs?

In a recent phone call with someone I'd like to call
my dear friend Aj Roberts we talked about how people
should measure their success when it comes to weight loss.

We came up with the top 3 ways to really gauge your progress.

1- How do you feel? (Are you feeling better, more energy
less fatigued)

2-How your clothes fit? (Are those fat jeans suddenly a little
loose?)

3-Measurements

As you can see weighing yourself does not fall in the top 3
ways to measure success. Sure seeing the pounds come off
on the scale is always good but it can be water weight too.

The 3 ways listed above will ensure you that you're dropping
fat, losing inches. The scale is overrated. Here's an
image of my favorite football player.















He's 245-255 lbs.
When you hear a man is that heavy you wouldn't expect
abs would you?

Well there you have it.

Yesterday I talked about how eating late at night is not
necessarily a bad thing. Today we are going to touch
on what foods you should eat though when you are eating
late at night.

I hope you didn't take it as your ticket to go eat cake
and ice cream late at night and if you did, it's time
to get back to reality for a bit.

Did you really think losing weight was that easy?
Unfortunately it's not. When I said you could eat
late at night I did leave out the part about how
you should eat things that is predominantly protein
and low in carbohydrates and fat.

Why?

The reason being you want to help your muscles repair
while you're at rest and feeding it protein will
definitely help to get that done.

Why no carbs? Carbohydrates are key for helping
you get the energy needed to perform the duties
of the day BUT when you're going to sleep how much
energy does that really require?

Try stick to things like a spoon or two of peanut
butter, a protein shake, a boiled egg, things that
are high in protein but low on carbs. Also
just to avoid an upset stomach try to keep it
on the light side.

Welcome to a brand new week.

Today's topic is late night eating. Late night eating has
been looked at as something that should be banned, it's no good
for you, you'll gain weight, blah blah blah.

Many people write on forums about how you shouldn't eat late
at night all because they heard it on an episode of Oprah.
How do I know? I saw the episode too.

When it comes to weight loss there are a lot of principles
to help manipulate how effective you can be at losing weight
BUT you'll always see no matter what book you read the following
"Calories in versus Calories Out". In simple terms basically
if you're taking in less calories than your body puts out, you
get weight loss.

So if weight loss is related to calories in and out does it
matter if really when you eat? I'm just thinking aloud but think
with me. Let's say you need to eat 1500 calories/day to lose weight
successfully and ate 500 calories for the day before your "last meal"
will you really not lose weight?

Yes you really won't lose any weight, that's if your last meal is over
1000 calories. If the calories in versus calories out is in order,
and you're eating less than you take in then you should lose weight.

So what does this all say about the theory of eating late
at night is no good for you? It's not entirely true if
you're still at a caloric deficit. Are there foods you
should avoid while eating late at night? Absolutely and that
will be addressed tomorrow.

When I was a kid I wanted all the latest Air Jordans and knew
that in order to get them I would have to get straight A's.
I worked my butt off studying, doing all my homeworks,
participating in class all in an effort to get those sneakers.

Did I get them? Yes I got them over and over again.
It really came easy to me, because I knew what I wanted and
what it took to get there.

When you workout do you think about what you want? Do
you focus on what your goals are? And most importantly
what do you have to do to get there?

These are questions people skip before working out and
then wonder why their motivation is not where it needs
to be.

Before your next workout sit down and think about why
you're working out and you'll see how easier it is
to get the work done.

PS- One great tool that has worked to help my friend
develop laser like focus is the book "Mind Over Matter".
She recently told me she lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks from
just adding the book to the list of things she read.

Summer is almost here... Can you afford not to lose
8 lbs in 2 weeks? Hmmm.. something to think about.
For info on "Mind Over Matter" go to:

Are you interested in finding out how you can burn more calories
throughout the day without actually feeling like you're doing more
work?

Well one thing I've noticed is how empty the stairs are at the mall
and how long the lines are for the escalators and elevators.
I also see how people wait for the closest parking spots near the
mall as well.

I'm guilty of this too, but if you're really looking to shed
some weight, make the extra effort and take the stairs or
park a little further than usual at the mall. When it comes
to weight loss any calories burned is a bonus.

PS- If you're looking for a program that really talks about
how to adopt a championship mentality to help you lose weight
there's none like the Mind Over Matter e-book/program. For

Many people I come across to always are looking for how to
get in shape with the littlest amount of work. The fact
is getting in shape takes a lot of work. That does not
necessarily mean it has to take a lot of time.

My friend from the UK Dax Moy has put together
something called Meltdown Training, take a look at it below.



Please leave your comments below after you've given this a try.
