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…..

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.

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.

Best and Worst Nutrition News of 2009: 10 Highlights and Lowlights in Healthy Eating
January 26th, 2010Best 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 >>

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.

Frozen Chunky Monkey Protein Smoothie Recipe
January 25th, 2010Frozen Chunky Monkey Protein Smoothie 
OK so this is going to be more of a freebie and a suggestion than it is going to be an informative blog post. I want to give you one of my favourite protein shake recipes. I use it to grow and build muscle and cut for fat loss or weight loss.
I use it to replace a meal when late for a meeting and sometimes when I know I am on the road all day with little time to stop for food and don’t want to feel heavy and bloated in the gut while driving; I fire up one of these bad boys and load it up with ice. (I make it a bit thinker than normal so by the time the ice melts its perfect).
So I am going to give you my standard recipe and some tips, then I add in some suggestions to help make it a MASS shake or use it for cutting up the fat.
My Frozen Chunky Monkey Protein Smothie
Ingredients:
- Chocolate Protein Powder 28 grams = 28 grams protein (I count protein not weight)
- Vanilla Yogurt 1 cup (8 oz)/226g = 10 grams protein, 38 grams carbs, 4 grams fat and lots of good bacterial cultures
- Frozen banana ½ (half) = (approximately) 15 grams carbohydrates
- Ice Cubes as many as you want… I like lots.. freeze brain is fun
- Water, about 4-8ounces is all you really need, but I like mine thick and cold
- Flax Seed Oil 1 tea spoon = 5 grams long chain triglycerides and lots of omega fats
- Coconut Oil 1 tea spoon = 5 grams medium chain triglycerides and lots of omega fats
- Peanut Butter 1 teaspoon natural organic = 5 grams fats
Portions and Grams:
- 38 grams proteins / 5.4 portions protein = 152 calories
- 53 grams carbs / 5.8 portions = 212 calories
- 15 grams fats / 5 portions = 135 calories
Total (approx) Calories: 499 calories
As you can see I would easily drink my lunch in about 60 seconds. So to make it a snack I cut it in half to a 2-3 portion shake or snack. I like to make this and drink half at my mid morning shake and half as my afternoon or post workout shake.
[clearly that one to the right is a few more than 499 calories, but I thought it would get your juices flowing... like it did mine]
Now for the directions: Prep a clean blender, throw in ice cubes, add frozen banana (in chunks), yogurt, and peanut butter. Cover and start blender. Add in protein powder, then flax seed oil, coconut oil and finally water to desired consistency. Serve and enjoy… that’s it, rather simple and simply satisfying.
To make this a bigger shake don’t cut it in half for two shakes, but drink it all for lunch or if you are on a balanced (zone like) eating plan increase or decrease the portion sizes.
Sometimes I like to add oatmeal raw just at the tail end of the blend cycle to give it added slow release carbs and longer energy or just to pump it up and make it a really think and chewy shake (as is the case when I do it for some lunches).
Now to make this a mass shake, well that is obvious and easy. Add oatmeal to give you a higher percentage ratio of carbs and cut the flax seed oil to reduce the fats… like this -
MacroMASS Ratios: 35% protein, 45% carbs and 20% fats.
It’s still a very healthy mass gaining shake by all means.
Now to make a cutting Frozen Monkey Protein Smoothie is quite simple.
Cut the yogurt and DO NOT add Oatmeal. It can’t get any easier than that. When I am in real deal fat loss mode I even bring the banana down to 1/3 instead of half, just for flavour. You can see now that the ratios are more in line with a restricted calorie and reduced carbohydrate program –
Advanced Fat Loss Ratios: 40% protein, 20-30% carbs and the balance being healthy fats and oils.
Sometimes I even opt out the peanut butter for the real thing and less calories. This requires chewing your shake, but that increase digestion and personal satisfaction.
What is Protein Smoothie?
Enjoy. Tomorrow I got a real eye opener on the state of a “healthy” 2009. This is crazy it almost reads like a fiction story, but they are all real. Its inspired by an article I recently read in the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Stay Empowered and Stay Focused on Your Goals.
