The Seven Most Important Vitamins And Minerals To Maximize Muscle Gains And Performance And Give Fat A Permanent Vacation

7 Micronutrients For Macro Results

http://empowerednutrition.com/7-Micronutrients-for-Macro-Results

When it comes to nutrition, you have to think small to get big results. To make sure you accomplish your goals and stay healthy; you have to provide yourself adequate water, not just huge amounts of protein, but also vitamins, minerals and for the body to respond effectively to your training.

The standard bodybuilding diet and get skinny quick diets relying on yams, chicken breasts and a few other staple foods is ideal for getting the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat) you need to lose fat and build muscle, but it falls woefully short when it comes to certain micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).

The fact is that no individual food provided adequate amount of all the micronutrients you need to maximize fat loss, muscle growth, and support recovery and optimal health. Chances are that you’re getting fit diet emphasizes a few foods at the expense of many others, which taps the micronutrient profile in ways unintended.

Active people including bodybuilders and weekend warriors need considerably more micronutrients than average people do. The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) does only recommended daily minimums, 200 pound body builders need are noticeably more than the RDI minimums indicate.

Nevertheless, there can sometimes be risks involved taking too much of a particular vitamin supplement form, which may lead to toxicity or other side effects. This is particularly true of minerals. Therefore, we need to take these upper limits in mind while also making certain you’re getting more than you’re daily minimums.

Additionally don’t forget that many foods are excellent sources of particular micronutrients. For each micro we discuss, I would also provide you with a list of foods that are rich in the nutrient. The good news is that many of these foods are small calorie fruits and vegetables and work well with your body building and fat loss diet – whether you’re trying to add mass or cut body fat.

Here I will provide a rundown of some of the most vital micronutrients bodybuilders, fitness models, athletes and active individuals need, ranked roughly from the top in terms of their importance and supporting tissue growth, maintenance and fat loss.

In the next few paragraphs I will cover and uncover these magical micronutrients, why you need them, how to use them and where to get them.

7 Micronutrients for Macro Results:

1. Cool C
2. E for Excellent
3. Magnificent Magnesium
4. The Non Vitamin… All Washed Up
5. The Canadian Vitamin “eh”
6. Electrifying Electrolytes
7. Z = Results!

Taking Control

Posted by Patrick on July 31, 2010 at 8:44 am

There is nothing greater than being in control of your own destiny. There is no better way to do this than taking control of your energy, your emotions, your physical appearance and your abilities.

Looking and feeling great is the most incredible experience one can have and it can only be enhanced by celebrating your success with a vacation retreat on a pristine, white sand beach with soft glowing blue waters, and subtle white tops cresting the tide as you walk in the surf and peel off your shirt for the first time in what seems like an eternity to reveal the newly etched details upon your flawless abdominals and body.

Being able to take control of your destiny is something millions of people are attempting to do right now at this very moment. The world over people are working harder and longer than ever before in an effort to take control of their lives financially as their health, fitness and mental vitality painfully spiral out of control.

One of the best things you can do that truly will put you in control of your life is to take control of both health in mind and body. While many are gaining unimaginable amounts of weight and losing control of their health sitting in office chairs in front of computer screens for hours on end, there is an elite few that are doing the exact opposite by taking control of their health and destiny eating well, being active and going on multiple vacations every year away from computer screens while enjoying beaches, sun and surf.

Read the full article Click This Link: http://empowerednutrition.com/taking-control/

The great thing is this can be you too. You can take control of your future and be the master of your own destiny in this unstable economic time by taking control of yourself. It is without a doubt (and some pretty compelling empirical data) that fit bodied professionals are paid better, receive promotions sooner, work less and perform better than their sedentary plump partners. They also command nonverbal respect in and out of the boardroom…

… It has been reported that a 30-60 minute workout first thing in the morning provides a mental and physical focus that allows an individual to complete 9 hours work in 8 hours or less, thus providing more time to enjoy more vacation time.

One of these elite few is none other than Patrick McGuire, President Empowered Nutrition Products Inc, a professional nutrition and fitness expert with a focus on living life to the fullest and providing powerful proven results and ultimate transformation rewards…

Keeping nutrition at the forefront of the three pillars of performance…

TACFIT Commando Bullet Points

Posted by Patrick on July 6, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Ammunition for building awesome an awesome Body with TacFit Commando Training…
Watch the TACFIT – KIDNAPPED VIDEO at www.EmpoweredNutrition.com/tacfit-commando-bullet-points

Whether you dream of training exactly like the world’s elite special ops or you just want that shredded special ops physique, TACFIT Commando addresses both lean muscle gain AND fat loss WHILE exposing you to a level of skill development that’s been kept “classified” until today.

High-Intensity Fat-Burning Circuits:

Each mission in the TACFIT Commando dossier can be completed in less than 30 minutes, and those 30 intense minutes melt fat faster than hours of cardio-style exercise.

Equipment Free Muscle:

When on a mission, “black-ops” types need to maintain or even continue building muscle mass without equipment. We put the Commando program together to maximize continued muscle growth while ensuring optimal fat loss. When you’re on vacation, too busy to get to the gym, or simply want to shake things up a bit while still building muscle, this is the perfect equipment-free solution.

Complex Skills that promote “neurological sophistication”:

Special ops guys tell us that after training with TACFIT, time appears to slow down as they speed up, fine motor skills become more accurate, gross motor skills more efficient, and they feel significantly less stress in a crisis. Imagine how much easier it’ll be to put up with the stresses of day to day life? That neural stimulation also means you’ll be able to activate more of your muscle fibres and lift more weight when you go back to the gym. You’ll also avoid fat loss plateaus by continually adding new stimulus.

Injury-Proofing and Active Recovery:

The tactical operator needs specific low-intensity mobility exercises to accelerate recovery from intense effort, to prevent overtraining, and to diminish the delayed muscle soreness typical of extreme exertion—which translates to constant mission readiness. YOU will get the same benefits applied to accelerated fat loss and recovery from intense training.

High Octane Cardio Conditioning

Tactical training programs must target the energy systems of tactical response: that means high intensity, three-dimensional movements done for repeated bursts of short duration, with fast recovery—serious workouts for those who aren’t afraid to push limits others call impossible. For YOU that means faster fat loss through interval-style training, and more energy for your work, leisure and life.

Improved Stress Management:

Finally, the extreme psychological stress experienced by active tactical responders requires methods that safely reabsorb the adrenal dump of “fight or flight.” You’re of no help to your teammates if you’re sick or burnt out. Your ammunitions only as good as your rifle—and if your equipment breaks down you can’t even shoot blanks. Daily life translation: a run in with the boss, your spouse or an irate neighbour won’t tax your system like it used to — you’ll be calm, cool, collected and ulcer-free.

Well Rounded Physical Specimen…:

Crisis response demands a physical training program tailored to the specific needs of the field agent: tireless stamina, extreme range reactive strength, ballistic speed, the agility and coordination of a Free Runner, and active recovery and pre-habilitation. Tactical operatives need these things NOW, and TACFIT delivers in spades. Using the programs designed for these guys means YOU will benefit from the same kind of well-rounded athleticism they use on real life James Bond missions.

Cool Applications — Party Tricks

Real Tactical Applications: each exercise has been carefully programmed to forge the highest level of specific conditioning while building and reinforcing tactically relevant skill sets. Want to move like Mission Impossible? TACFIT will teach you how. By incrementally working up to the “crazy” tactical exercises these guys use, you’ll have an endless source of “party tricks” to amaze your friends and freak out your kids. You’ll also build an incredible movement palette for your sport, leisure activities or just your everyday life.

“And what guy doesn’t dream of learning the methods that Navy SEALS, Marines and real-life secret agents are using right now to chisel those rock hard bodies…?”

Program Specs:

-> Bodyweight only — No equipment

-> 4 distinct types of training days performed cyclically (mobility, flexibility, strength, conditioning)

-> Choice of a rotating 4 day or 7 day cycle OR…

-> Integration of specific components into your existing workouts (cardio, flexibility, etc)

-> 9 28-day “Missions”

-> Instructional videos for each Mission

-> Follow along videos for each Recovery session

-> Follow along videos for each Mission (Deluxe Deployment Kit)

-> eBook manual and pdf Mission Guides

-> And many more “goodies”
