I Got Grilled by Nick Nilsson

March 10th, 2010

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!

Listen to Nick Grill me (Patrick) << CLICK  the LINK

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

101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips

February 23rd, 2010

…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…..

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.

Anyone up for some Transformation Coaching?

February 17th, 2010

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

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.

Best and Worst Nutrition News of 2009: 10 Highlights and Lowlights in Healthy Eating

January 26th, 2010

Best and Worst Nutrition News of 2009: 10 Highlights and Lowlights in Healthy Eating

Well I was reading and scouring the net for great new nutrition news.  I came across an article from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.  Dietician Susan Levin originally posted this in its entirety, but I pulled some more bits and bites for us to think about.

I included a link to the full article and site at the end of the post.

Enjoy these odd balls of nutrition success from 2009 and fire up some comments to get some bickering and bantering going on the state of our current “healthy eating” lifestyles and new directions both personal and corporate.

My personal favorite worst offender the Fifth Third Burger >>

Patrick.


Tomorrow another monkey recipe… this one is more of a sweet dessert you will love… it’s almost like cheating.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

***Best and Worst Nutrition News***

President Obama, Sarah Palin among Worst Health Offenders

WASHINGTON—The year 2009 saw America reaching new nutrition lows with the release of a 4,800-calorie burger, the discovery of carcinogens in KFC’s new and “healthier” grilled chicken, and images of a president and his vice president chomping down on cholesterol-dripping cheeseburgers. But this was also the year first lady Michelle Obama sowed the seeds of healthy eating by planting the White House’s first vegetable garden in decades—a move that inspired thousands of Americans to follow suit.

Here are the highlights and lowlights of healthy eating in the year that was:

Most Unsurprisingly Unhealthy Product
The West Michigan Whitecaps of Grand Rapids, Mich., unveiled its Fifth Third Burger, which holds five one-third pound hamburger patties, chilli, nacho cheese, Fritos, salsa, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream on an 8-inch sesame seed bun, packing more than 4,800 calories, nearly 300 grams of fat, 744 milligrams of cholesterol, and more than 10,000 milligrams of sodium.

Most Paradoxically Unhealthy New Product
KFC’s Kentucky Grilled Chicken aimed to be a healthier version of its signature fatty fried chicken, but turned out to harbour the chemical carcinogen PhIP.

Worst Health Quote
“If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”—Sarah Palin

Actually, This Might Be the Worst Quote
“I love meat. I eat pork chops, thick bacon burgers, and the seared fatty edges of a medium-well-done steak. But I especially love moose and caribou. I always remind people from outside our state that there’s plenty of room for all Alaska’s animals—right next to the mashed potatoes.”—Sarah Palin

Worst Lunch Choice
On May 5, the president and vice president dropped in—as much as a presidential motorcade can “drop in”—at Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, Va. They ordered big, greasy, high-cholesterol cheeseburgers and soda and downed them while cameras whirred all around.

Most Health-Conscious City in Europe
The city of Ghent, Belgium, announced in May that it would go meat-free every Thursday, in a move aimed to fight obesity, global warming, and cruelty to animals, and to show people that meatless food can be totally delicious.

Most Health-Conscious City in America
The Baltimore, Md., public schools announced Meatless Mondays, giving all school children in the city their weekly dose of healthy nutrition.

Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, conducts clinical research, and encourages higher standards for ethics and effectiveness in research.

MOTIVATED & EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED (part 1)

January 18th, 2010

MOTIVATED & EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED

This is a short and easy post for you to work from and help fast track your results.  This is part 1 in a 3 part series.

Let’s establish two simple things: first, the reason you are doing this, and second, what the end results will mean to you. To answer those questions, go grab a pen, because you’re going to write your answers down right here in this book. After all, “a book not written in is a book not read”. Don’t think too much, just write down the first thing that pops into your head. This is your emotional reason and the true reason why you’re doing something to change your life.

1. Why are you embarking on a life changing and empowering nutrition and health program?

2. How will you feel when you achieve your Best Lean Body ever, the Ultimate You?

To understand your answers to these questions, we’re going to analyze them a little bit. The reasons for embarking on a journey to create Your Best Lean Body can generally be broken down into three main categories.

They are:

Personal – I want to feel better, be stronger, be leaner and have more endurance (self-enhancement).

Medical – I want to be healthier and live longer (self-preservation).

Cosmetic – I want to look better (self-esteem).

Notice that all of these reasons have one thing in common – they can be summed up with a “self” word – self-enhancement, self-preservation, self-esteem. These reasons are about you. That doesn’t mean you’re being selfish. You probably already spend most of your time doing things for other people, and that means you’ve had to make sacrifices. But those sacrifices shouldn’t have to include your health, self-esteem, well-being, or the opportunity to reach a new level of athletic achievement. After all, if you’re healthier, happier, fit and more energetic you will also be a benefit to everybody around you!

To get you to where you want to be, you’re going to set yourself some goals. That’s what we’re going to tackle in the next section.

Top 5 Tips For A Great Day

  • Lunch
  • Smoothie
  • Dinner
  • Snack

    • OK just playing with you…
    But seriously those are 5 great reasons to get out of bed each day.

    I have lots of other reasons to get out of bed each morning.  For instance each day is a BLESSING.  A chance to make up for something missed or lost yesterday.  That to some is a real grind and to others its a real blessing and CHALLENGE to be and do better than the day before.

    You can always count one of the REASONS if you have to jump up and get the KIDS to school, FAMILY counts on you or maybe even your JOB is waiting for you.  Yeah I know JOB sucks and its no reason to get out of bed.  Let me remind you… you HAVE a job.  Many people do not.  You could lose it tomorrow, then what will get your butt up out of bed.

    OK so I have to say it.  FOOD.  You get to eat again after a self inflicted 6-8 hour hibernation your body is ready for some good old protein, carbs and fats.  Start the day off right and enjoy it to the fullest.  For some great ideas on recipes try this link and get 2 free sample fat loss programs:
    Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss Meal Plans

    ACTION! Yeah action, exercise, activity, anything that makes you move is a good reason to get up and GO!  There are some people who would kill for the chance to leap out of bed and run around, exercise or just play with others.

    There you have it a few good reasons to get up and get going each and every day.  I am sure you can think of many more and better reasons to get out of bed, why not drop a comment and let me know your reasons to JUMP out of bed and start your day…

    Top 5 Easy Lean Body Lifestyle Tips

    January 6th, 2010

    OK so before you go all cannibal on me for yet another “Top 5 list” of things this year, bear with me…

    I want to simply make 5 very simple, very fast, very easy tips to incorporate into your life to make a lean body lifestyle easier to achieve and maintain.

    So without wasting any time, here are my…

    Top 5 Easy Lean Body Lifestyle Tips

    Eat Often

    I want you to eat more often.  Not more, just more often.  Start with eating 3 good meals a day.  Have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.  Eat them at equal intervals, for instance 8am, 12 noon and 5pm.  Work up to 5 “meals” a day (3 meals, 2 snacks).  Eat 5 meals as smaller portions (same calories as 3 meals, but over 5) and you will notice the difference within 3-10 days.  Same calories, more fat loss, less cravings… WOW! What more could you ask for.  Eat your 5 meals at regular intervals 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm, as it will give you greater energy and less fatigue and less fat.

    Eat In Moderation

    See the plan for eat more (above), eat more often in moderation.  If you eat the same calories in 3 meals your portion sizes are greater than if you eat the same calories over 5 meals.  So you can see how eating in moderation in fact increases weight loss, more specifically fat loss and at the same time as outlined in Eat More provides the same and great energy benefits.  So “Eat In Moderation” in fact is part of eating the same calories more often.

    Eat Your Calories

    This is more of a DON’T as in don’t drink your calories, eat them.  The same calories from a steak dinner with potato and veggies provides a much lower insulin spike than those consumed from an equal serving of a soda pop.  The same goes for Fruit Drinks, they are just like the soda pop in terms of fat storage and insulin spikes.  The other factor is you can consume more liquid calories faster than solid calories again prolonging and minimizing the insulin and fat storage effects.  EAT don’t DRINK your calories.

    Be Active

    Well this is point blank simple to say.  Just be more active, move, walk, run, play… do something different, something more than you do today and do it again and again and enjoy the process, great things will come of it.  If you are already active, be more active and you won’t need to adjust your calories, just your activities will increase a lean body lifestyle.  Hey even if its just playing the Wii instead of basic sit on your butt video games.

    Laugh

    This is the best advice of all.  LAUGH. Laugh out loud and do it very, very often.  Not only does it burn calories, but it releases a huge wave of happy healthy hormones and chemicals all over your body.  Also crappy to say but true, lean, active, laughing people are typically happier, then most people.  I know personally I am happier and leaner when enjoying life and keeping a leaner body then when I start to increase the girth a little more than comfortable normal.  When I add the fat pounds I feel crappy and it consumes my thoughts.  When I stay leaner, it never even crosses my mind.

    So there you have my TOP 5 Easy Lean Body Lifestyle Tips that you can implement in the next few minutes to days and notice a change in your body. I have included some links for you to help accomplish some of the Top 5 Easy Lean Body Lifestyle Tips below.  Hope these help.

    Turbulence Training New Year’s Celebration

    December 29th, 2009

    In case you missed my recent email about the Turbulence Training 50% OFF Sale…

    It started Monday December 28th and runs to Friday January 1st 2010.

    Craig Ballantyne is launching his 7th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest and a HUGE 50% OFF Sale, this week ONLY.  You can win up to $1000 in the Transformation Contest just  for losing your belly fat.

    I want to sweeten the pot for you.  If you purchase the TT at 50% and send me your email receipt, I will give you the Empowered Nutrition Meal Plans Deluxe Coaching Audio Package FREE.

    Totally FREE.  Just forward me a copy of your receipt and I will send you a link to download your Empowered Nutrition Meal Plans Coaching Audios and Workbooks for INSTANT Download, just for getting TT at 50% OFF.

    I was so excited about the 50% off Turbulence Training sale announcement yesterday that I forgot to mention there’s a LOT more to this special than just the savings on the TT program.

    In addition to the money you’ll save, fat loss expert Craig Ballantyne is also giving you 5 bonus workouts. You’ll get:

    1. TT Hard-Core Fat Loss – The most intense TT workout
    2. TT Booty For Life – 8-weeks to a better butt
    3. TT for Buff Dudes & Hot Chicks – 2009’s most popular workout
    4. TT for Meatheads – For guys who love lifting for muscles
    5. TT Bodysculpting for Women – Bodyweight exercises for women

    AND…you also get two new programs EVERY month in the TT Member’s area. For January, you’ll get “TT 2K10 – The Ultimate Fat Loss Workout” and “TT Beginner Total Torso Training”.

    Plus, once you’re a TT Member, you’ll get to access the forums where you can ask Craig Ballantyne specific questions about your very own nutrition and exercise program – so you get the personal attention you need to succeed.

    The member’s area is also full of thousands of other TT users from all over the world to give you social support and to help you overcome all of the obstacles in your way.

    That’s why it’s a guarantee that 2010 will be your best year ever thanks to Turbulence Training.

    This is going to be your BEST YEAR EVER! You deserve it.

    This will be the best way I can suggest you get Turbulence Training this year.  Craig has never run a sale like this before and who knows if he will ever run it again.  But I can say this, he has
    added so many items not normally available to this package that I am certain they won’t appear throughout the year.

    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    Disclosure:
    I want to be perfectly honest with you.  Empowered Nutrition will be remunerated for any purchases made from the links to Turbulence Training in this email.  This should come as no surprise as you know I love TT, I think it is an amazing product and I fully support the ethical business and products that Craig Ballantyne provides.  This is one way to allow me to continually research and develop more great products that will help you achieve your fat loss and muscle building transformation goals.  I mean really if I had the time to create Turbulence Training first, I would have and since I can’t buy it from Craig I decided to be an affiliate to help promote TT and share it with you.
