Brian Dropped over 50lbs and off all Medications

There's just too much evidence that proves a healthy lifestyle, brings benefits that no drug or gimmick ever could. Our friends at Hitchfit present another case in point: -Nate I am so proud of brian for all his hard work. He dropped 52 lbs, dropped over 15% bodyfat and dropped 10″ on his stomach. SIMPLY AMAZING Micah LaCerte When I first started the Hitch fit program, I will be the first to admit I was skeptical. I mean, I’m 41 years old. My most fit years are behind me. Well, at least those were my excuses. At first, I was thinking I would be happy dropping 10 lbs and obtaining a shape that wasn’t round. Well, to my surprise it came off quite quickly. I thought that maybe there is something to this eating and exercise plan. So I shifted my goal…..again. And met that fairly quick. It began to become an addiction, and I was SEEING RESULTS. Motivation was high, I was feeling good. Then an interesting thing happened. I have been on blood pressure medications, cholesterol and triglyceride meds, and I was also taking oral diabetes meds on the verge of being placed on insulin. I went for my routine labs as I always do, and my labs came back nearly normal!! My Hemoglobin A1C (diabetes marker) had previously been 10.7 (5-6 is normal) and was back down to 7. So she wanted to retest. When those results returned they were even better at 6.8. I can happily report to you that I am currently OFF all my medications with normal lab results on EVERY facet of my blood chemistry. I have the documents to prove it. Those are the results of Hitchfit I am most proud of. I was killing myself slowly, and just chalked it up to being a normal process of age. I mean, dropping from 238 lbs to 186 lbs at my lowest weight losing 52 lbs, and dropping from close to 30 percent body fat to close to 11% percent is certainly an added bonus, as is being able to walk around a pool without a shirt and not feeling ridiculous. Knowing that I not only look and feel better, I’m also not a ticking time bomb. Had it not been for Hitchfit, the support and motivation from my wife and family, I would never be where I am now. Who knows, I may not have been here at all! Brian Barnes, age 41. BRIANS PROGRAM CHOICE (did a program with his wife) Reach 6 Million New Customers Every Week With US Sports Marketing.

Do You Believe This Belly Fat Lie?

So you want to get rid of some belly fat. And you can't help but be on the lookout for that magical exercise that will give you flat abs once-and-for-all. I'm sorry to burst your bubble of hope... But all the ab crunches in the world won't make a dent in your muffin top, as long as you continue with your unhealthy lifestyle. This isn't a cutting edge discovery. In fact, by now it's common knowledge that spot reduction is a myth. And yet, time after time, I'm asked to reveal the exercise, or exercise machine, that gets rid of stomach fat. There is no such magical exercise. The magic is found in altering your diet and exercise routine to promote fat loss from your overall body, including - but not limited to - your midsection. Here's how to really get rid of that belly fat: Flat Belly Tip #1: Cut Out Processed Foods You know how Disneyland has the FastPass tickets that allow you to cut to the front of the ride lines? Consider processed foods as a FastPass ticket to belly fat. I wouldn't be surprised if future studies show that the over-processing, chemical additives and high fructose corn syrup that are pumped into processed food specifically adds fat around your belly. If you want to lose pounds then stay away from sugars, sodas, chemically altered fats, processed, packaged, fried and preserved foods. Flat Belly Tip #2: Eat Fresh, Whole Foods Once you've cut the garbage out of your diet, fill in the void with fresh foods such as: Green veggies Whole fruit Lean, high quality meat Colorful veggies Whole grains, in moderation While these foods may seem boring at first, stick with it long enough and you'll grow to love the unadulterated flavor of real food. Eating a diet filled with the foods listed above will give your body all the nutrients it needs to shed pounds and lean out. Flat Belly Tip #3: A Consistent, Challenging Exercise Program The absolute best way to fight the battle of the muffin top is with a consistent, challenging exercise program. Consistent: You should exercise 3-5 times each week. Challenging: If you want to see results then keep your body guessing with new exercises and varied intensity. My exercise programs are specifically crafted to get you into the best shape of your life. I'd love to hear from you.

(Embarrassing) her pants fell off

Recently I did a little fat loss experiment with a few of my clients and something REALLY EMBARISSING happened to one of them. 

She was using both hands to carry a hot casserole dish to her car when she felt her jeans begin to slip off. 

Since both of her hands were holding the heavy casserole dish, all she could do was hope to make it to her car before her pants fell off. 

Whelp, she DIDN'T make it and had to waddle to her car the last five feet with her pants around her ankles before she could set the hot dish down and pull them back up. 

Luckily, no one saw. 

But it WASN'T HER FAULT. 

She was a "victim" of the rapid fat loss workout I recently developed. 

It's called the "16 Day Sexy Slim down." 

The way it works is you do 3-5 high intensity boot camp style workouts and follow some very LOOSE but EFFECTIVE eating guidelines for 16 days. 

You can expect to lose 8-12 LBS and up to two pants sizes. 

The 16 Day Sexy Slim Down starts next Monday Monday October 11, 2014 Program goes live online

Just click here and I'll get you all dialed in. 

Oh, and the best part is that Its free for the 16 day period! 

Workout on your time and schedule. At your favorite gym, fitness center, at home, or your favorite workout space. 

Fair warning though, you can expect to lose up to two pants sizes so don't get caught carrying a hot casserole dish - loose pants have been known to fall off :)

Custom Fitness?

Yes indeed! I am often asked for very specific customizations of programs and there is nothing wrong with that.

As long as every athlete and fitness warrior understands that you cannot spot reduce (Belly only, legs only, bigger arms only), you can bring out the best of your "trouble spots" with smart, directed, comprehensive and long-term focused programming.  Here is an example of one of US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning's Custom Programs...

Custom Get Lean Programs

The title of each program in the Custom Get Lean Program area gives an idea of what it will help to accomplish. 
Throughout the length of the Custom Get Lean Programs, the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workouts . This variation provides a more consistent "programmed response" to exercise which will help to avoid those depressing plateau's in progress. 

The starting point of the program is based on an initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the body's unique adaptation process to exercise. Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel the best!

Ten Reasons To Eat More Veggies And Fruits

Hey I have no problem stating the obvious! As long as it means a healthier, happier life for you! All US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning Programs come with our state-of-the-art nutritional planning software program. Click here to to get your program today!

Medical Tribune

The American Institute for Cancer Research, Washington, D.C., has compiled a list of "ten good reasons" to eat more vegetables and fruits. Topping the list is cancer prevention.

A report by AICR researchers on diet's role in the prevention of cancer estimates that eating at least five servings of vegetables and fruits each day could prevent up to 20 percent of all cancers.

Vegetables and fruits are rich in naturally occurring antioxidants - substances shown to provide protection against free-radicals (reactive substances that damage cells and initiate cancer) - and other phytochemicals that help to detoxify cancer-causing substances.

Number 2 on AICR's top ten list is to keep trim. Many vegetables contain 50 calories or fewer for a whole cup, while only five potato chips or one small cookie has the same number of calories. If you satisfy your appetite with hearty servings of vegetables and fruits, hunger won't be a problem and you will eat smaller portions of higher-calorie meats and desserts.

Prevent heart disease is number 3. Eating more vegetables and fruits - while cutting back on meat and dairy - can help you limit heart-damaging saturated fat and cholesterol in your diet. The antioxidants and certain other phytochemicals in these foods also help prevent fatty deposits from forming in blood vessels. Vegetables and fruits supply soluble fiber, which helps lower blood cholesterol. They also provide folate, a B vitamin that helps lower blood levels of homocysteine, high levels of which are a risk factor for heart disease.

Benefit number 4 of veggies and fruits is they lower blood pressure levels. Many people think blood pressure can be controlled only through eating a low-salt diet and controlling weight. Yet several studies in which people followed a high vegetable and fruit diet achieved a significant drop in blood pressure. How? Researchers believe potassium and magnesium in these foods should be credited.

VIDEO Reveals SECRETS to Transform Your Body Faster

Prevent stroke is number 5. Results of recent studies suggest that diets high in vegetables and fruits can decrease the risk of stroke by up to 25 percent. The boost in potassium they provide may be responsible, as well as the antioxidants and other phytochemicals they contain.

Eye protection is number 6. Eating more vegetables and fruits may lower your risk for two of the most common causes of adult blindness: cataracts (which occur in almost half of all Americans over the age of 75) and macular degeneration. Scientists link this protection for the eyes with antioxidants like vitamin C and certain carotenoids.

Next is to avoid diverticulosis. One-third of people over the age of 50 and two-thirds of those over the age of 80 are estimated to have this intestinal disorder. Diverticulosis occurs when pressure in the intestine creates small pouches in the intestine wall, which can become inflamed and painful. The best defense against developing these pouches (diverticulae) is eating a high-fiber diet. Fruits, and especially vegetables, are major sources of the type of fiber considered to be most helpful.

Fruits and vegetables help avoid diabetes. Fruits and vegetables seem to raise blood sugar less than other foods that contain carbohydrates, and their fiber content slows the absorption of sugar into the blood. A gradual rise in blood sugar is more easily handled by the body than an abrupt rise.

Fruits and vegetables can also satisfy your sweet tooth. When you turn to fruit for a sweet taste and quick energy, you get an added boost - nutrition that works for you - instead of just "empty calories" found in sweets like candy bars and soft drinks.

Finally, "experience pure pleasure." Adding the vibrant colors of vegetables and fruits - the reds, oranges, purples, greens and yellows - can make any dish more visually appealing. Also, the diversity of textures and tastes of these foods will add interest and flavor to many meals. Experiment with new ways to prepare and season vegetables and fruits - and experience pure pleasure!

-Nate

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) -- There is no link between obesity and sugar intake, according to two studies presented this week at the North American Association for the Study of Obesity annual meeting in Charleston, South Carolina.

"The bottom line is increased calories are the culprit" behind obesity, not sugar, Dr. Maureen Storey said in an interview with Reuters Health. "Choosing smaller portions is difficult," she added, but "people need to eat less and exercise more."

Storey and Dr. Rich Forshee, of Georgetown University in Washington, DC, studied data from a survey conducted by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). They constructed a model that estimated how closely people follow the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, and the percentage of the US recommended daily allowance of selected nutrients they consume, based on the amount of added sugars, carbohydrates, protein, fat, and alcohol they consume.

According to the model, "added sugars have a minimal... negative effect on consumption of most of the food groups and nutrients," Storey and Forshee report. The researchers found that alcohol had a much larger negative effect on diet than sugars.

"According to our model, it would take 1,695 additional grams of added sugars or 43.5 (12 oz.) cans of soda pop to replace one serving of dairy foods," the investigators explain. In comparison, "an additional 182 grams of alcohol, the equivalent of 14 (12 oz.) cans of beer or 18 (3.5 oz.) glasses of red wine, reduced the predicted number of dairy servings by one."

"Pragmatically, added sugars have virtually no effect on diet quality whereas other dietary components, such as alcohol, have a relatively greater negative impact on diet quality," Storey and Forshee conclude.

In the second study, Dr. D.R. Keast and colleagues, of the Michigan State University in East Lansing, asked nearly 16,000 adults about their consumption of sugar, fat, carbohydrates, and total calories. They also measured the participants' body mass index (weight divided by height).

Keast's group reports that obese adults consumed fewer total calories than non-obese adults, but fat made up a higher percentage of their calories. The obese adults obtained a lower percentage of their calories from carbohydrates and total sugars than the non-obese adults.

These results held true in both men and women, the investigators say. The research team concludes that there is a "seesaw" relationship between sugars and fat: as fat intake goes up, body mass index goes up, but as sugar intake goes up, body mass intake goes down.
