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)

Top 10 Things You Can do for Your Sweetheart's Health
 I can go out on a limb and say that few would argue that in any committed relationship, that the healthier and stronger each partner is, more than likely that health and strength can carry over into the life of the relationship. It's not as deep as it may sound. Check out our guest article for the particulars.-Nate Top 10 Things You Can do for Your Sweetheart's Health (Prevention, August ) - What's the best way to show your sweetheart you care? Play doctor -- with his or her health, that is. Giving your loved one the support and information he or she needs to make important lifestyle changes is the best gift you could offer. Remember: A little effort's better than none at all. If you find some of the changes we suggest too daunting, try taking small steps, like skipping red meat for one week, or walking for 15 minutes each night. Before you know it, you and your sweetheart will have made positive changes toward a healthier lifestyle -- and a longer life together. And now, the top ten: Stock your fridge with fruits and veggies Is your sweetheart overweight? Help him eat more, not less. That's right. Study after study shows that people who eat more naturally low-fat, low-calorie whole foods -- particularly fruits and vegetables -- eat less of the fattening, unhealthful fare that contributes to disease. Chop up raw vegetables for midnight snacks, and serve a large portion of delicately steamed vegetables with your romantic dinner for two. Nothing against Ben & Jerry, but saving sweets for the occasional treat is a lot better than keeping your sweetie's favorite indulgence on hand. For some, fruits and veggies are an acquired taste; remind him how much better he feels when he doesn't stuff himself. Axe the animal fat  Studies show that the biggest single risk factor for heart disease is the amount of animal fat in a person's diet. Saturated fatty acids and dietary cholesterol are the worst culprits when it comes to raising blood cholesterol and increasing heart disease risk, so avoid them whenever possible. The American Heart Association recommends that you limit your total fat intake to no more than 30% of total calories; some health organizations suggest even lower percentages. Reducing your intake of fatty meats, dairy products, oils and desserts helps; always read a product's food label before buying. A good lifestyle fix? Next time you go out for dinner, try a vegetarian restaurant. Better yet, buy her a veggie cookbook and try cooking up something together!Put out your cigarettes If your sweetheart smokes, support his efforts to quit. If you light up on occasion, think about what smoke does to your loved ones and ask your sweetheart to help you kick the habit. According to the American Heart Association, smoking accounts for about 417,000 of the more than 2 million annual deaths in the U.S. Smokers have a greater risk of developing chronic disorders such as atherosclerosis, several types of cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Set aside a regular "fitness date"  How many nights have you come home from work and planted yourselves in front of the TV together? If your sweetheart's exercise regimen needs an extra kick, help him out by signing up for a physical activity you can do together several times a week. Martial arts, swing dancing, circus arts, boxing, self-defense, yoga and walking are just a few of the activities you could try. The secret is to meet there each week, so he doesn't have to choose whether or not to go -- it's just a part of his schedule. Classes also make a great gift.Make relaxation a priority Research shows that many "type A" traits -- impatience, hostility, intolerance, quickness to anger -- increase a person's risk of heart disease. Hostility in particular has been shown to contribute to high blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat. Short-term symptoms of stress include fatigue, headaches, neck and jaw pain. Unfortunately, a recent Prevention magazine survey found that 50% of the respondents vented their tension by becoming snappish toward their partner; 47% also reported that they respond to stress by eating! Tension is at its highest for most people in the post-work, early evening hours, so planning anxiety-reducing exercise, yoga, relaxation techniques or a walk during this time is ideal. Also, don't skimp on vacations -- looking forward to getting away is half the fun. Sleep together  Getting adequate sleep is essential to beating stress and maintaining health. Most of us need eight hours to feel rested. If your partner has a lot of trouble getting up in the morning, dozes off easily or tires during the day, lack of sleep could be the culprit. Try to eat, work out and eat dinner a little earlier, if possible, and stock the nightstand with good reading material. The herb valerian has also been shown to perform as a sleep aid in a pinch.Keep him under cover Skin cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in the U.S. In the past two decades, its rate has doubled in both men and women. Although anybody can get it, basal and squamous cell carcinomas -- cancerous scabby looking bumps and fast-growing eczema-looking patches, respectively -- occur more frequently in fair people with a history of sunburn and a tendency to have atypical moles. Keep sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 handy at all times, and try to get your sweetie to use it as part of his or her daily ablutions (like brushing his teeth). Pack her lunch  For some people, lunch is more of a diet-killer than any other meal. Waiting too long to eat can cause your blood sugar to drop, prompting sugar and fat cravings. But packing your sweetie's lunch can do more than deliver needed energy, cut fat and save her money -- it will give her time to go for a walk or visit the gym during her lunch break. One word of caution: Eating at one's desk is not a good health move. Encourage your sweetheart to get out of the office to eat.Get testedMany curable health problems are discovered too late for optimal treatment. Have your sweetie ask his health practitioner which tests are appropriate for his age, gender and health bracket. If you don't have health insurance or your plan doesn't cover some standard tests, set up a payment plan, or call local clinics in your area. Listen to each other  You'll never know what's wrong -- or what's right -- until she tells you. Ditto for him. So what if he thinks every little ache is one of the ten warning signs of cancer? Indulge him. There's no monthly premium on affection.

Bridal Bootcamp Plan Gets this Mother of Three in Amazing Wedding Day Shape!
Honestly I am not the biggest fan of workout programs geared towards only looking your best on your wedding day. As it is one of the more important days of anyone's life it is still just one day. Nothing wrong with that little extra push for the blessed event, but keep in mind when planning your wedding day program that there will be many more days after your Uncle Chuck is passed out over the wedding cake! :) Nuptials or not read on about this amazing transformation.-Nate

Jillian started her Hitch Fit Bridal Bootcamp Program 8 weeks out from her wedding day. She did an incredible job in that period of time, and then felt so good she wanted to continue on post wedding to complete the process! All I can say is WOW, check out those beautiful abs!!

“I was about to turn 35, I have 3 kids, I was getting ready to get married, and felt like I would like to take the challenge that so many of my friends had done. I have followed a lot of the Hitch Fit trainers online and was impressed with how positive all of them were as well. I just wanted to feel good about my age, and wanted to make sure my future husband was proud of his new wife the day we got married. I also want to be a good example for my kids!
I have always worked out, but didn’t really have a plan. Just what I could find online
I had no idea how to do the nutrition part properly either. I learned so much w this program!! I feel so much healthier. Thank you Diana for all the help!!”

50 and Fit for her Wedding Day!
 Good Morning Athletes and Warriors!I just have to thank God for Micah and Diana! And personally, I am so glad to have partnered with them and their awesome online training company Hitchfit. They are changing lives all over the world. And here is another example. Read on and you will see why! -Nate  50 and Fit for her Wedding Day!50 and Fit for the Wedding! I’m so proud of today’s incredible transformation Rachel! In June 2015, at 50 years of age, Rachel realized that she wasn’t happy with where she was physically when she saw a picture of herself with friends. She knew she was ready for change, especially since she was preparing for her upcoming wedding (February 2016). Rachel started off with a 16 Lose Weight Feel Great plan, and since she resides in the Kansas City area, she supplemented her online training with one on one sessions atHitch Fit Gym Overland Park with Transformation Trainer Eric Reynolds! Rachel did an incredible job, shedding 20 pounds and 12% body fat. She looked GORGEOUS at her wedding and was kind enough to share some of those special moments with us!! Congratulations Rachel! You make 50 look AMAZING! Rachel’s Stats: Starting weight: 159 Ending weight: 139 Starting body fat: 30% Ending body fat: 18%  50 and Fit – Rachel lost 20 pounds and 12% body fat with Hitch Fit! 50 and Fit Women – Rachel lost 20 pounds at age 50 with Hitch Fit! Before and After photos 50 and Fit Women – Before and After Weight Loss of Rachel – lost 20 pounds and 12% body fat! Fit over 50 – Rachel lost 20 pounds and 12% body fat!Rachel’s Story: “We all have that “Ah Ha” moment. Mine came last June, when I was photographed with some friends in town for a music event. My typical “trick” of sandwiching myself in the middle of the crowd and turning sideways to cover half my body didn’t work this time. What I had known to be true was staring me right in the face. All the recent wardrobe “updates” were really a disguise to compensate for the fact my clothes weren’t fitting anymore and I had to buy new ones. A few weeks later, a co-worker and I were talking about upcoming trips—both about six months out. Hers was a romantic getaway, mine was destination wedding/honeymoon. She said, “Hey, have you heard about Hitch Fit? Let’s do it together.” No, I hadn’t heard about Hitch Fit, but I wasn’t going on my honeymoon looking like I did in the June picture, so I said yes. Understand, I have never been a disciplined person in my life. I am not an athlete, and the only time I’ve been on a sports team was in grade school when my parents signed my sisters and me up to play summer softball. My sisters and I have a joke, when friends ask what position we played. (Mostly because they’re shocked we were even allowed to participate.) My sister, Rebekah always replies, “ They stuck us in the outfield, and we mostly hung out and made dandelion necklaces and bracelets.” So there was nothing in my background that would even suggest I would be successful on this program, any program for that matter. BUT, what I do respond well to is encouragement, positive energy, and accountability. I found all that at Hitch Fit. Initially my co-worker and I were going to sign-up for the online program. Both Micah and Diana were ON IT when it came to answering our million and one questions we had, before we even officially signed up. I decided to also have a personal trainer at the Overland Park, KS Hitch Fit Gym location, for two reasons:
When asking about a Hitch Fit personal trainer, Diana asked me if I had a preference, male or female. I told her I was 50 and didn’t want someone yelling at me. Honestly, after spending time around many of the trainers, she could have matched me with any one of them, and I would have been comfortable. Every week when I would arrive for my session, each one of them would look up, smile, say hi or bye at some point during my hour. Talk about a company culture that breathes the same air/ has the same philosophy! There is no quick fix in a transformation. Hitch Fit is about day by day, doing the activities to get you there. It’s a journey. And there is nothing like looking at my pictures from my first in-person consultation with my trainer, Eric Reynolds (shout –out!), to jump start that journey. If I thought the June pictures were bad, looking at my body at that first session confirmed it was time. Here are my take-ways for anyone thinking about making a change:

Experts Study Vitamin Megadoses And Today's Amazing Transformation!
Hello Athletes and Warriors!Here is another article on supplementation. You will hear all kinds of opinions on this subject. (heck just ask anybody whose taken a vitamin and you'll see); I also get a lot of questions on this very subject.
I have found that simply use supplements at they were intended, to supplement your solid meal and exercise plan. Miss the other two components then you are simply making a donation to your local vitamin shop or supplement website. Read on carefully.
-Nate
Experts Study Vitamin Megadoses
By I.S.S.A.
A committee at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has begun wrestling with setting safe maximum intakes for key nutrients such as vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, and other B vitamins.
The IOM's Subcommittee on Upper Reference Levels of Nutrients is one of several panels revising the government's current recommended average daily intake of nutrients. The IOM has already issued a report on folic acid and the B vitamins, and in the fall, is expected to publish another on antioxidants.
This Subcommittee, which met most recently last Thursday, will eventually issue a report on how much of any vitamin, mineral, or herbal product can be safely taken without toxic side effects. So far, there are few controlled studies evaluating safe maximum intakes.
Even so, many dietary supplement manufacturers sell megadose vitamins, minerals and botanicals, with scant evidence that higher dosages are more effective. There is also little data on safety of vitamins and minerals taken at high levels.
We are looking at new uses of nutrients, and new dimensions of uses,' said Subcommittee member Dr. Sanford Miller, dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio.
Dr. John Hathcock, of the Washington, DC-based Council for Responsible Nutrition, said he has seen thiamin sold in 500 milligram (mg) capsules, vitamin C in 1,500 mg tablets, and niacin in 1,000 mg capsules. Studies so far have shown no toxicity with oral thiamin up to 500 mg, but it can change the color of urine and produce an offensive body odor, he said.
Niacin can cause gastrointestinal distress and some liver toxicity at 500 mg doses, Hathcock said.
The panel's job won't be easy, according to Miller. There is no dose-response data for most nutrients, few surveillance, or animal or human chronic intake studies, and most traditional trials have focused on safe intake levels, not maximum tolerable levels, he said.

Vegetarian Flight Attendant Gets Ripped in 12 Weeks
This Flight Attendant Gets Ripped in 12 Weeks. Alexis is very busy traveling all over the globe as a Flight Attendant which makes keeping workouts intense and nutrition on point even that much more difficult but he proved that it can be done. His New Body looks Amazing!!In 12 weeks he dropped from 140 lbs. to 129.6 lbs but most impressive was his waist dropping from 33 1/2″ to 30″, his body fat percentage went from 18.5% to under 10%!! Simply Amazing
In Only 12 Weeks
Alexis’s Story
Words can not express how thankful I am to Micah lacerte from hitch fit, but the pictures and smile on my face can say it all. “I did it, and it feels awesome” yay!!
For years now I’ve struggle with my body, it got to the point where I would close my eyes every time I walked by the mirror on my way to the shower. I hated seeing my fat stomach, it made me very sad. It also made me very frustrated because I did often go to the gym and I thought I ate pretty healthy. The issue was that I didn’t eat enough, I was actually starving my body. I would eat and then go for hours without eating anything in that day.
I work as a flight attendant and I travel so much for work and for pleasure. The excuses for me were “I travel a lot”, “I’m on call, so I never know where I am going”, “I love wine, I could never stop that”. I also took 2 vacations during this 12 week program. I was so determined that I became an expert at packing food to work and vacations, yes I brought my own food to the Turks and Caicos and in Hawaii I went grocery shopping, now every time I’m away I search for grocery stores close by. I also ask for a room with a fridge and ask if there is a microwave I can use. Sometimes no microwave so I would fill the sink with hot water and let my food in the container seat there.

Hi, Nate here again,Three days ago I told you about my new 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Program that starts 05/12/2014.
Well, the response to my 21 day rapid fat loss online bootcamp has been huge.
