I Got Grilled by Nick Nilsson

March 10th, 2010 by Patrick No comments »

Yeah you read it…

I GOT GRILLED!

Nick Nilsson, and I have been bashing it back and forth, nutrition versus exercise and its all good.

In fact we both agree that they are both integral to a successful fat loss and muscle building program.

Nick fully supports the Nutrition side of things.  I completely believe that if you are going to train you might as well get the best [Check out Metabolic Surge Program Click Here].  Like me, Nick believes you need to turn to a coach to maximize your results.  I mean for example the Olympics recently happened and some of the athletes had as many as 6 coaches… just for one sport… and guess what.  Some of them won medals!

We had a few glitches at the start (my call dropped) but definitely listen in…we covered a LOT of good stuff.

  • the ins and outs of how his personalized nutrition programs work and what they can do for you
  • should you eat first thing in the morning before training
  • what’s the best snack for on-the-go fat loss eating
  • can specific foods be used to target specific bodyparts?
  • do you HAVE to eat first thing in the morning in order to lose fat effectively?
  • is “afterburn” fat-loss real and does it stop if you eat after training?

Get all the info here!

If you are here to read or listen in to this interview where Nick Nilsson grills me about my Personalized Nutrition Programs and Nutrition Strategies.  I suggest that you add a solid workout program to your Empowered Nutrition and if you want to maximize fat burning and muscle building then you should check out Nick’s program Metabolic Surge Program

Hey its time to fire up some spring season fat loss shakes.  

Yeah I’m nuts, and its still cold but I’m trying to get you all ready for what is just a few days to weeks away depending on where you live (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere.  Sorry my friends in Oz and all the lands down under, but you too will benefit from this challenge.

I’m going to do something exciting.  This is something I wanted to do for a long time.  I have been working offline as a supplier of Personalized Nutrition Programs, Supplements and other goods to the fitness industry for many years now and we have done this contest a few times fitness club by fitness club, but this is a GLOBAL CALL TO ACTION!

I really enjoy this contest to be honest.  I see lots of creative, amazing, taste tantalizing and teasing flavors come to the table.  In the past the companies we worked with produced a small members only bonus product that was many times good enough to be published globally and shared with the world.

I love to give credit where credit is due and that is what we are going to do with this contest.  I want to make sure you include your name and email (actually its required to comment) where you will be submitting your entry into the contest for a chance to WIN!  I suggest you post your website as well if you have one so I can credit you and give you some link juice.

I will not share the WINNING PRIZE PACKAGE at this point, but let’s just say its gonna be something we can all benefit from and appreciate and it will go a long way to achieving your Ultimate Transformation and trying out all the new smoothie recipes.

Patrick, what’s the contest?

The contest is… drum roll please…

EVERYBODY WINS!

Patrick you’re a crack pot… what will I win?

Well quite simple I want to make you a globally published author.  My slick graphics guys will make a  rock solid looking smoothie book and send you a copy.  You name and your smoothie will be featured in the book, no matter how disgusting it is.  Many will get made and get their pictures added to the book as well.  I will send you and everyone that submits a Fat Loss Shake/Smoothie Recipe a secret link to download advance copies of your Fat Loss Super Shakes/Smoothie Recipe Book.  Yeah, that’s right its YOUR book, not mine, not some corporate crap put out by a ghost writer, but YOUR smoothie book.

I will take every submission into the Fat Loss Protein Shake/Smoothie Contest and review each of them myself along with my team.

I will taste each one myself… be gentle on me… and if necessary force everyone on our team to force down a few gulps too.

I will then assign a points system for each one (Great Taste, Ease of Creation, Unique Ingredients, Texture, Clean Up)

I will break out the Top 10 recipes and let them do battle to be judged by you and your peers simply by commenting on each of the recipes.  [Click on the comment recipe you like and comment a reply... let us know if you made it, liked it, hated it or hated it so much you just want to see me drink it]

The Top 5 move onto the LIVE Video Taste Round.  This is like Canada going to the semi finals in Men’s Hockey.  I will shop, share, blend and post the video’s raw and live for your fun times

Of the Top 5 (determined by the most reply comments) we will have 5 winners clearly defined.

The 5 Winners up will receive $300 in Grocery Gift Cards*

If the demand is there, I will get copies printed and made available at cost for you.  That’s right I don’t need to gouge you for the book.  After all you are writing it, I am adding some valuable content and making it all sexy with some pictures and images of your creations.  As long as we cover the printing costs and shipping its all yours, just let me know if you are interested in your own bound hardcover fat loss smoothie book and I will take care of the rest.

101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips

February 23rd, 2010 by Patrick 9 comments »

…that actually work!

I was working on something like this a few years back.  I started working on it again last fall and to be honest it just got pushed aside.  I am almost glad to say it got put off simply for the fact that my friend Jeff Anderson got it done and by done I mean done right.  Just look at the information package he is putting out there for us to critique and criticise… and I just can’t fault the information at all.

So if you are looking for every trick you can get your hands on to melt off that last bit of fat or to just make it easier to lose weight and feel great then this is the piece of information that can make a huge impact in your fat loss goals.

A lot of these tips and tricks are absolute fat annihilators and others are just way to simple to call good when in fact they are great… the problem is most of us forget to implement them.

I went thru the entire manual and think this is a big time success program for fat loss.

Now if you are already following an Empowered Nutrition Meal Plan or Personalized Nutrition Program then you are inherently following several of these tips at any point in your day, you may not even realize it and that is were the power of the 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips comes in.  When the tip is pointed out to you point blank it sticks in your head, it gets burned into your retina and imprinted into your brain and that is exactly what 101Sneaky Weight Loss Tips will do for you.

Do NOT think of this as another book to read and remember.  Think of this as a MANUAL or GUIDE.  If you really work at it and try to implement each of these tips it will take you 100 days and at that point you will already be in fantastic shape with no need to follow tip #101.

I mentioned some of the tips are intense and rare while others are pretty basic but often overlooked… here’s a few tips you might find interesting… note how these tips gel with everything I or my team are teaching at EmpoweredNutrition.com… Jeff’s done a great job with this one.

“Thanks Jeff, these are 101+++, awesome information,
books and audios, amazing!” – Patrick

Here are just some of
the 101 AMAZING
Weight Loss Tips
you will get.


TRICK #5: Drink your coffee. Not many people know that coffee actually provides more antioxidants to the American diet than any other food or beverage. That doesn’t mean you should hook up an intravenous drip of caffeine throughout the day (you shouldn’t have any more than 500 milligrams a day) but just know that coffee in moderation not only provides a pick-me-up, but is also helping you to burn more fat and increase your lifespan. For best results without the added calories, drink it black. But here are some other coffee tricks to help you lose more weight…

TRICK #1: Drink ice water. Yes, you know that you need to drink about 8 glasses of water per day for your body to burn fat and flush toxins out of your system. But a study from Germany revealed that ice water is more rapidly absorbed by the body and increases your metabolic rate by as much as 30% for 2-3 hours. Have a large glass of ice water as soon as you get out of bed in the morning and it will fight your body’s dehydrated state from the last 6-8 hours and jolt your metabolism out of its slumber to get a fat-dissolving start on your day!

TRICK #10: If you drink alcohol, opt for dry red wine. Dry red wine is better than your sweet wines, because sweet wines have more sugar! Dry wines have sugar, but most of it has been fermented away into alcohol and from a weight gaining perspective, dry is better. Plus, dry red wines contain certain antioxidants that are beneficial to your health. My recommendation is a California Pinot Noir. Not a wine drinker? Then…

TRICK # 11: Drink beer. I know that the words “beer” and “belly” don’t exactly make a great combination but animal studies have shown that the bitter compounds from the hops in beer have an anti-inflammatory effect on the…..

SUPER SUPPORT ITEMS…

Yeah I am equally impressed with the support materials Jeff has included.  I like the audios, the eBooks and am a BIG fan of giving more.

You simply will love the audios on Nutrition, Exercise and Motivation.  They will work for anyone and increase results beyond what you read in the 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips.

This is an awesome audio I love it and anytime you put it into an audio it seems to sink in deeper than if I read it or heard it alone.  Simply fantastic.

If Exercise is an issue and you have no idea where to turn then you MUST listen to this audio…

Put An End To Gut-Wrenching Workouts
And Reveal How To Burn MORE Fat

Finally Jeff supports this with one more audio that can change the way you lose fat and possible even the way you use your Empowered Nutrition Program…

“Sneaky Motivation Tricks” That
Empower You With White Hot Enthusiasm
While Your Friends & Co-Workers Wonder
What “Secrets” You’re Keeping From Them!

(Downloadable mp3 file)

Let’s just say Jeff is good.  Real good and I am embarrassed that I did not get a product of this caliber completed sooner… quite frankly I may not have ever been able to get a package like this completed.  Jeff really nailed it with these 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips.

Hey before I forget in the review I even got a chance to grab a copy of the Food Label Secrets Revealed Report and an audio with Cory and Tracy Holly talking about the “Fit Family” Concepts.  I have to say, meeting Cory many years ago at a private event in Mississauga and I was impressed.  Now this audio takes it over the top and I am once again impressed by Jeff, Cory and Tracey.

I spend a lot of time talking with Jeff and every time we talk something new and great comes around.  Jeff has a real exercise and nutrition brain and passion in him, but still he promotes Empowered Nutrition Meal Plans in many of his product bundles.  That alone should help you see how well our products lend and enhance each other.

As always I will NOT suggest you even look at anything unless it is realistic, effective and intelligent or just plain and simple will improve the quality of your life and deliver powerful proven results.  101 Sneaky Weight Los Tips fits my criteria.  Get more information on 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips

Hey here are some more tips right from the pages inside 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips…

TRICK # 57: Watch more comedies. Japanese researchers found that when test subjects watched a 40 minute comedy show while others watched a 40 minute boring lecture, the comedy watchers’ blood glucose levels were much lower. The researchers theorized that laughter alters brain chemistry in such a way that either slows down glucose entering the blood or increases the muscles’ assimilation of extra glucose.

TRICK # 58: For your comedy shows, choose a situation comedy with a laugh track. Clear a spot in the living room for your body and every time you hear the background laugh track triggered, do a single pushup or crunch. Over the course of the show you will…

TRICK #77: Sex burns fat. On average you can burn about 150 to 300 calories during sexual intercourse. But different positions can actually increase the number of calories burned.

TRICK # 89: Chew gum between meals. A Scottish University study found that subjects who chewed sugar free gum between their meals ate much less food than those who didn’t chew gum. Participants noted that chewing gum increases the feeling of fullness and therefore they were able to reduce food intake throughout the day.

4 sample days, 4 calorie ratios, 4 results

February 18th, 2010 by Patrick 10 comments »

OK, so I thought you might like this one.  Often times I get requests for sample days.  Well rather than give you the run around, suggest you buy the Empowered Nutrition Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss Meal Plans I thought it would be cool to give you 4 Sample Days to try >>CLICK HERE<<

4 Sample Days, 4 Strategies – Free

Now here’s the wild thing about these 4 sample days.  Each day is made of the same recipes.

WHAT?!?! I know you think I’m an idiot and wasted my time putting these together for you, but the reality is I did it on purpose.  You see each day is a different level program.

  • Day 1 = Foundation Fast Fat Loss Program – Level 1
  • Day 2 = Advanced “Beach Body/Bikini” Ripped Fat Loss Program – Level 2
  • Day 3 = Advanced Lean Builder Meal Plan – Level 2 Builder
  • Day 4 = Elite “Contest/Figure Model” Ripped Meal Plans – Level 3

This way you can get each of the programs in one tidy place and see how you can progress with your Meal Plans or Personalized Nutrition Program.  This gives you a glimpse into how we create a strategic battle plan in the war on fat.

4 sample days like this also help you to see that if you are 25, 35, 45% body fat how the Elite level 3 Fat Loss Program is not going to work for you for very long.  Don’t get me wrong you will drop weight, but you just might pass out due to the extreme change in your diet as of today to tomorrow.  Its Level 3.  You MUST start with a good foundation and become elite.  It works like this…

Guys Reference Chart
  1. Guys over 15% bf, use Foundation Fat Loss
  2. Guys 15-10% bf, use Advanced “Beach Body Ripped” Fat Loss
  3. Guys going under 10% bf, use Elite “Contest Ripped” Fat Loss
Girls Reference Chart
  1. Girls  over 22% bf, use Foundation Fat Loss
  2. Girls 22-17% bf, use Advanced “Bikini Slim” Fat Loss
  3. Girls going under 15% bf, use Elite “Figure Model Slim” Fat Loss
*Advanced Lean Builder Programs are for those looking to lose fat, but primarily to keep lean body mass and even grow while dropping fat

So there you have it, now you know why we don’t suggest you just go for the most extreme fat loss program you can find. Once you download the free samples you will also see how the calories on’t change that dramatically, but the ratios do.  In fact you will even see how you can eat more as you enter into the more aggressive fat loss programs and continue to cut the fat.

If you haven’t already done so, download the free samples >>CLICK HERE<<

Anyone up for some Transformation Coaching?

February 17th, 2010 by Patrick No comments »

This is a short and pointed email. Sure you might decide this is shameless self promotion… well it is… for your benefit.

I wanted to let you know a few things of excitement around here.

The blog is taking on a new life and will undergo some VISUAL CHANGES in the next few weeks, some changes have already taken place, check out the new side bar images to your right ==>> over there ==>>

Changes 2 & 3+ are all about programs that are for you and your results. For years we have been teaching gyms and fitness professionals how to operate full blown transformation programs, even giving them manuals and guides to run the programs for the most efficiency and success for members. We even provided the prizes and support packages for the programs. Well the time has come to provide those very same services and personal touches you have been patiently waiting for, scouring the internet and attacking your trainers for. Very soon we will be announcing to a very private and limited group of our Empowered Insiders the live release of a scarce but much needed program and members area. We will be announcing the release of our Empowered Premium Membership Area and Transformation Coaching Program.

PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM is all about a protected community of enhanced knowledge. This is NOT for everyone as there will be content that you may not want to hear but need to. There will be audio and videos you will NOT find anywhere on the internet as well as training programs, super bonuses, monthly freebies and more… I even have one more super surprise for you that is so over the top I can’t tell you about it here for fear of the volume of emails we will be getting prior to the announcement.

TRANSFORMATION COACHING is a 12 week total body transformation and make over program, actually it is 14 weeks. Transformation Coaching INCLUDES an Ultimate Transformation Personalized Nutrition Program printed bound and delivered to your door with weekly coaching calls, weekly conference calls, podcasts and more as well as even more rare nutrition and exercise coaching programs. This is the coaching you have been waiting for. This is NOT for everyone. This is NOT for you if you do NOT want to be told exactly what to do to accomplish your body transformation, fat loss or muscle building goals. Transformation Coaching will include everything from the Premium Membership Program and have the real deal, live weekly coaching for a truly unique transformation experience. [Learn More about Personalized Nutrition Programs >> CLICK HERE <<]

I have much more to tell you and am excited to release it all. But for now its just a teaser as I am working out the kinks and making sure all the content is “clicking” just right for you and the videos are all streaming just fine, fast and clean.

Cheers to you all, I will have new and unique post about the brain of a champion shortly… I think you are going to love this one and it will shed some light on why your brain is fighting your transformation fat loss and muscle building goals and how you can fight that with nutrition.

Your Transformation Coach,

Just to be sure you are ready for it and the new programs are right for you, I thought I would let you know in advance, you will be protected by my money back guarantee.

On Eve Of Winter Olympics, 30 Athletes Banned For Doping

February 16th, 2010 by Patrick 2 comments »

I just had to post this up… I meant to get this up on Friday afternoon, but to be honest my schedule was jammed and I had some challenges with my computers and internet access… AS IF!?  I mean really why in today’s day and age would I have issues with computers, networking and connecting to the internet.  Rediculous to say the least.

So my issue, rant and post is mostly a repost of a news clipping.  You have to know that no matter how strongly you put the three pillars of performance to work in your life (nutrition, exercise and supplements) there will always be people that just need to push the envelope and do “whatever” it takes to win the gold.  Even if it means performance enhancing drugs.

Before you go crazy, I don’t condone or condemn those that use performance enhancing drugs, but… BUT… this is a BIG BUT… there is a time and place for them and when taking part in a drug free tested sport I do NOT condone the use of drugs.  Not one bit, not even for a second.  Now on the back side I have to remind you that they are all cheating in someway or somehow regardless of what you think.  Remember Ben Johnson, yup the Canadian that won the fastest man alive award almost 2 decades before the rest of the world could see Bolt even come close to the time that got Ben BUSTED.  Well remember how Ben got faster and faster?  Yeah… Do you remember that so did Carl Lewis and the rest of the pack?  NOPE… never noticed… well they did and if Ben got Busted, the rest of the group should have been busted as well.  Its crap… its a lie and its rampant in almost every sport.  That said check out this post below that I pulled from Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty

At this level, they all (Olympic Athletes) have the best nutrition, best exercise programs and best supplements possible.  I know you are not looking to be an Olympic Athlete, but if you are looking for more results, start with your Nutrition.  Consider a Personalized Nutrition Program to accomplish all your goals… Olympic or otherwise.  >> Click Here for More Information

(Original from Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty)  The International Olympic Committee says 30 athletes who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs during the run-up to the 2010 Winter Olympics have been disqualified.
Many cases are in the biathlon and long-distance crosscountry skiing events, where increased endurance from doping gives users an unfair competitive advantage.

The announcement comes ahead of tonight’s opening ceremony in Vancouver. Nearly 2,700 athletes representing 80 countries will parade through the city’s domed BC Place stadium. They are competing in 15 different winter sports — categorized as ice sports, alpine skiing and snowboarding, and Nordic events.

Olympic organizers say they hope the disqualifications ahead of the competition will reduce the number of scandals in which podium winners are later stripped of their medals for doping violations.

The World Anti-Doping Agency says that, “in the interest of fair play,” it will not announce the names or nationalities of the disqualified athletes until they have exhausted all avenues of appeal.

But IOC President Jacques Rogge said on February 8 that he raised concerns directly with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the Russian sports minister because of 11 winter sports doping cases involving Russian athletes during the past year.

“I insisted on the need to have strong action on doping,” Rogge said. [Medvedev] promised that he will launch that, and he was very explicit also in public declarations after that.”

Russian ice-hockey player Svetlana Terenteva was reprimanded but not disqualified in the first Vancouver doping case that has been finalized.

Particularly Worrying

IOC Vice President Thomas Bach says Terenteva tested positive for a “light stimulant” contained in a nose spray that is usually not prohibited outside of competition. During her appeal, Terenteva admitted using Rhinofluimucil under prescription in January to cure a bad head cold. Use of the substance during the games would have meant her disqualification.

Rogge said on Feburary 8 that Russian doping cases are particularly worrying just two weeks before Russia takes the Olympic torch for the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi. Medvedev himself was planning to attend Vancouver’s closing ceremony and handover on February 28.

Thousands of tests will be carried out on athletes in Vancouver during the next two weeks to ensure against doping. World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) President John Fahey says it is now harder than ever for doping cheats to go undetected at Olympic Games.

“We are getting better as time goes by through a number of methods,” Fahey said. “We’re smarter now than we were a year ago, and I believe we’ll continue to improve there. That makes WADA and all the antidoping agencies all over the world operating under the code far more effective.”

Germany, the United States, Russia, Austria, and Canada are considered the winter sports powerhouses that are expected to be near the top of the overall medal standings in 2010.

Super Food and Super Bowl Ads

February 8th, 2010 by Patrick 8 comments »

Good morning… I thought I turned this on for you last night during the 4rth quarter of the New Orleans Saints playing a heck of a come back dog fighting gnashing and gnawing game against the heavily favored Manning and his powerful Indy Colts.

Well I guess while I missed the first quarter waiting for wings, then getting a call to go get some medication for my oldest (6year old) daughters ear infection and get home to get something in her to drop her fever I must have messed up the code to post this at the start of the fourth quarter.

Great news is that like many of you I had some extra goodies.  Medium “heat” wings, a few handfuls of chips and some diet pepsi (it came with the wings free, got to love when the big corporate sponsors run promos like this for the little people like us).  The other great thing was I got to see some of the game, but more importantly it was with a good friend and in the end with my amazing wife.  So I got the best of both worlds, watching the Super Bowl with both Family and Friends.  Thank you Lord.

So before I give you the Super Bowl Ads to watch in the comfort of your own browser, I have to ask, could there be any team more deserving than the Saints this year?  Could any City or State be more deserving of a come back culminated with their team being on top of the world for one of the BIGGEST sporting events in the world?

I think not.  Congradulations to the Saints, New Orleans and to Lousianna for a super come back from that beast of burden that nearly wiped you out a few years ago.  You deserve every bit of publicity and appreciation you can get for the NFL Champions.

Mardi Gras is coming early this year… enjoy!

Here are the Super Bowl Ads… and for you Canadians like me the real commercials are shown, not our crappy substitutions they keep feeding us even when watching the US channels on HD.  aaarrrghhh! (yeah slightly annoying how technology is used for this evil)
