		<description><![CDATA[Cholesterol Lowering Coconuts 
www.empowerednutrition.com/coconuts-lower-cholesterol 

Coconuts... Lower Cholesterol?

OK so I was digging around and had a craving... several in fact and it prompted me to do some digging on something very specific... coconuts!

... and this is what I found.  Pretty interesting read if you ask me.  Parts of this have been pulled from various sites and documents and I interject my own comments and usage ideas throughout.  Enjoy this post as I go add the other parts for tomorrow and the next day... yeah I went off the deep end of a coconut milk oasis with this one.  It’s way too long and way too good to chop it up to fit into one little post, so I am going to make a micro series on COCONUTS... I am COOCOO for Coconuts!

Read it all >> www.empowerednutrition.com/coconuts-lower-cholesterol 

Who can resist a coconut, with its creamy, tropical flavor? For too long, many Americans have done just that.

Thankfully, that misguided coconut era is over. The coconut is receiving long-overdue accolades as a highly nutritious food. In fact, research has shown that it’s the saturated fat in coconuts that not only helps our bodies absorb nutrients and fight viruses, but also reduce cholesterol levels. Traditional American uses of coconut are sugar-laden affairs — think baked goods like pies, cakes and macaroons — that mask its health-promoting properties. But now cooks everywhere are incorporating coconut into a wide range of flavorful recipes that support good health. And many people are going even further, using coconut milk as a wholesale replacement for dairy.

When coconut is fresh, it has a sweet, rich aroma. Before it reaches the grocery store, the coconut’s smooth outer shell has usually been removed, revealing a rough husk with three indented “eyes” at one end. Inside is the seed; it consists of a layer of creamy, white meat surrounding a center filled with refreshing, mildly flavored coconut water.

Whatever form of coconut you choose — shredded coconut; or coconut milk, cream and oil — it is sure to add an exotic twist of flavor to an otherwise ordinary meal. www.empowerednutrition.com/coconuts-lower-cholesterol ]]></description>

Patrick,

Quick question...do you think yoplait yogurt and lean cuisines are bad for a weight loss program.   I buy these meals because they are fast to make and I buy the yogurt because all you have to do it take the top off and it's a “ready-made” meal just like the lean cuisines.   Do you think I would be better off eating an apple, orange or other fruit in place of these?

		<description><![CDATA[Many folks confuse Cinco de Mayo with Mexican Independence Day, but these are two different holidays. Cinco de Mayo celebrates a small Mexican army defeating the French in Puebla against all odds. Folks in Puebla still celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but Cinco de Mayo celebrations are actually more widespread in the U.S. than they are in most of Mexico. http://empowerednutrition.com/cinco-de-mayo-vegan-style

Most Cinco de Mayo menus I’ve run across are pretty heavy on the meat, cheese, and sour cream, but you can absolutely make your Cinco de Mayo meal cruelty free. If you’re throwing a Cinco de Mayo shindig of your own, here are some tasty, vegan recipes to help get your menu planning in order!

www.empowerednutrition.com/fat-burning-frappucino-protein-smoothie

This has to be one of the BEST Protein Smoothie taste sensations ever.  If your Greek its the old school "frap" flavor that gets you.  For me, it sends me back to sitting on the beach in the French island of Course.

This one is especially delicious when you use the right instant coffee.  For a more chocolate flavor use 1% Chocolate Milk.  All I can say is "ahhh...mmmm".

Add these ingredients to the blender (ice cubes first), set it on high and blend for 30-60 seconds or desired consistency.  Enjoy this one chilled in a frosted glass on a hot summer day and you will be sure to increase the fat burning from your recent Fat Blasting Workout.

		<description><![CDATA[NEW Project... Beat the Sweet-Tooth


Today is a perfect day to get started on my next personal project, how about you?

What is my personal project?  Cut out the sweets and unnecessary calories.

You can do it too.  Find out how >> http://empowerednutrition.com/new-project-beat-the-sweet-tooth

Why is today a perfect day to get started?  Simply because the holiday treats and eats are wreaking serious havoc on my body.  I have constant heart burn, feel sluggish and a constant foggy haze over my brain.

So this will kick off my personal journey to clean up my sweets and treats.  The side effects could lead to detoxification, clarity, mental alertness, fat loss, less water retention, increased energy and overall well being.

The number one thing to do is get back to drinking plenty of water.  This will help reduce cravings, snacking and help detox the body.

Discover my next few strategies and see the video from celebrity trainer Kim Lyons

Be energized, transformed, empowered!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a crazy world out there and I am just one more crazy guy in business.

I fired up a new blog post I would love to share with you.  
www.empowerednutrition.com < --- read it here

It covers my shopping experience as a combat sport, a killer recipe as a result of my combat shopping experience, a suggestion to prepare yourself for the battle and a solution to help trainers and small business owners increase your time and efficiency in and out of your business, in and out of the gym and have more time to join the professional leagues of competitive combat shopping this holiday season.

If you are tired of feeling sick and tired and weak fighting off the competition for the very last “buzz light year” or the newest must have “mommy I’m gonna love you forever... i got to have that Barbie or I’m gonna explode gift” then I suggest you take a read of the new blog post www.empowerednutrition.com 

Have an empowered day,

Patrick.
Your Empowered Transformation Warrior

		<description><![CDATA[The Healthiest Oatmeal Ever and Other Healthier Breakfast Options

After digesting all sorts of sugar-crashing information (read this post first: 10-cereals-to-avoid-for-optimal-fat-loss-and-optimal-health), cereal lovers need not despair. Healthier options are available. Kellogg’s Mini-Wheat’s, for example, contain 10 percent fiber and as little as 2 percent sugar. If you’d prefer something a little sweeter, Kashi ranks as the best brand overall in terms of ingredients, according to the Rudd Center’s studies. And we’ve heard that Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal, which is about 20 percent sugar, tastes just like Honey Smacks, which is about 56 percent sugar.

		<description><![CDATA[315,532,800

Happy Anniversary to My Amazing and Beautiful Wife Terri!

So why 315,532,800... well that is precisely the time we have been married in seconds.  It could very well be the same number of pounds of fat I have helped people lose... I guess we need to start that tally now too. (I have a special gift for you too... click the link at the end of this post).

Here is a weird way to tally how long I have been married and all during the process I have struggled with weight gain, weight loss, muscle gain, muscle loss, the urge to train, bulk up, mountainbike, resume MMA training and even from time to time think longingly for the days back in the royal Canadian Military.  But I wouldn't trade what I have today with Terri and our 3 amazing kids for any of that silly boy stuff...

Well sort of... 
I am back to training, but don't plan on competing in any body building events.
I am flipping tires and doign strong man things, but won't compete again.
I do like to toss the football and skate but won't go semi pro again.. not that I would even make the first round of cuts.
I am mountain biking once again and it feels great... entering into a race series starting next Tuesday.

So I am getting some old habits (only the good and healthy ones), but for the greater good of my personal well being and that of my family.  When I train I am a better person.  I feel better, look better and think better.  I have a better eating habit and supplement more regularly with my multi vitamins and proteins... which by the way enhances your mental outlook and your internals and hormone profiles as well as functions.

I encourage you today to consider doing at least 20 minutes of intense activity 3-5 even 7 days a week.  I walk 20-30 minutes after I take the kids to the school bus in the morning and train or mountain bike 5 days a week.  Its only been a few weeks and I feel great.

So here's a bunch of dumb numbers to say its 10 years later and I am still married and love my wife and kids more today than I did 10 years ago (my oldest is only 6).  Check it out... crazy numbers... 

The total number of days between Saturday, May 20th, 2000 and Thursday, May 20th, 2010 is 3,652 days.
 
This is equal to exactly 9 years and 12 months.
 
This does not include the end date (today), so it's accurate if you're measuring in days, or the total days between the start and end date. But if you want the duration of an event that includes both the starting date and the ending date, then it would actually be 3,653 days.
 
The total time span from 2000-05-20 to 2010-05-20 is 87,648 hours.
 
This is equivalent to 5,258,880 minutes.
 
You can also convert 3,652 days to 315,532,800 seconds.

May 20th, 2000 was a Saturday. It is the 141st day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2000 is a leap year, so there are 366 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2000.

May 20th, 2010 is a Thursday. It is the 140th day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2010 is not a leap year, so there are 365 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2010.

Yeah and just to be 100% truthful I am not smart enough or make that way to smart to do all those calculations myself.  I used this handy tool >> http://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/May+20,+2000/to/May+20,+2010

Well I have to say I am more than excited for this day.  I am pretty busy, but I will shut things down later today and do something with my wife and kids, then just my amazing wife (Terri).

Today is the day that celebrates 10 years since we have been married... and to my amazement she still loves me... I hope its more or at least the same as back in the day, after all much has changed, especially me, our lifestyle and the number of people in the house (+3 kids).  WOW!

To celebrate I am having a 3 day sale.  Starting at noon (12pm) today until noon (12pm) on Sunday I will be almost giving away the Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss System for half its normal price.  If you are looking to lose fat fast, then today you can celebrate with me and lose some fat real fast.

Come Celebrate My 10 Year Anniversary and Celebrate the Start of Your New Body

		<description><![CDATA[OK this is NOT your ordinary blog post from me...

I am going to tell you this point blank and center for all our benefit.

Today I turned 36 on April 19th, 2010.  I am excited as I feel young, not old and I know that as bad as my nutrition is, it is the good nutrition that far outweighs my bad days and keeps me feeling this way.

So to celebrate my 36 years young, 3 kids, 1 awesome wife and a great life, I am going to do my best to help you AND help others the one way I know how to do that...

I am going to urge you to help me help others.  I want you to help me accomplish my goal of providing FOOD and WATER for those in need and make it your goal as well.  For example, Haiti is still in desperate need of BOTH Food and Water.  They need much more than that, but those two are essential.

My friends at the Village of Hope in Oouagadougo are always in need of more food and water, but tehy are now growing thier own food thanks to the water well drilling and installation (I was part of that team) that took place about 7 years ago and are now providing water and food for other neighboring cities and even tribes living in the bushes... yeah I know amazing since I was there when it was all red clay sand and the main factor to lush vegetation was simply WATER.

So on my birthday I am going to give 5% of every Personalized Nutrition Program to an organization I work with to provide Food and Water thru the Empowered Foundations and I am going to give you a great deal, a great tool to accomposhing the body of your dreams faster than you ever imagined possible.

Find Out What I Am Going to Do, So You Can Help, Without Leaving Your Computer...

In order help you GIVE 5% I need to promote and sell something for your benefit.  Something you want.  But I can't ask you to give just because I want you to.  I can't just ask you to buy because I want you and I to give to this worthy cause.  So to make it worthy for all of us, I am going to GIVE you a Birthday Gift.

If you have experienced the power of the Empowered Nutrition Done-For-You meal plans or Personalized Nutrition Programs or just love the information we keep putting out there, then today is yoru chance to take hold of a Personalized Nutrition Program and benefit from My Birthday Celebration

Who knows it might even be you someday, I hope not, but if it is, I hope that our efforts can help.

I got some more info for you and if you want to make a difference, please take this opportunity to do it and to benefit yourself on my birthday.

Sorry I digress.  If you see that cute kid above its not me (NO seriously, it’s not me).  But I will tell you this.  If you see that cute kid in place and NO VIDEO on this page by the time this “Birthday Celebration” goes live and  for some reason you still see that cute kid up there when you get your Personalized Nutrition Program, then  just email me and tell me the cute kid was still up there without the video and forward me a copy of your receipt and I will give you a FREE 30 minute Private Coaching Call.

		<description><![CDATA["Omega-3 fatty acids Improves Mobility,
Healthy Joints and Other Inflammatory Disorders"

Arthritis and Joint Disorders are inflammatory conditions linked to toxic free radicals. Conventional treatments, such as non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory prescription drugs (NSAIDs), only offers symptomatic relief; they do not reverse arthritic conditions. This group of inflammatory drugs including Aleave, Motrin IB and aspirin, can lead to side effects like stomach ulcers, kidney problems and ringing in the ears.

These drugs hamper joint healing and the muscle-building process itself, which is why an increasing number of people with joint problems are choosing alternative approaches. One of the most promising natural alternatives is Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil.

Omega-3 fatty acids can help to ease morning stiffness and tenderness in the joints. Clinical studies of Omega-3 supplements in patients with rheumatoid arthritis have demonstrated a reduction of arthritic symptoms; including pain, the number of tender joints and morning stiffness. Also, studies conducted in this population have shown that taking Omega-3 supplements led to a decreased use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids, with effects peaking over a 6-8 month period.

A very promising, recent study published in Surgical Neurology investigated Omega-3 supplementation (with EPA and DHA) for non-surgical neck and back pain. The results were striking - a majority reported improvement in their pain symptoms and 4 in 5 patients were satisfied with their improvement...

		<description><![CDATA[TOP 10 REASONS FOR FRUITS AND VEGGIES

So as you can tell for those of us living in the “Great White North” spring has sprung and I am making a strong focus for fruits and veggies... and meats too, but let me get to that later this week.

With the season on us, some of the early fruits and veggies are coming out and this season is shaping up to be a great one.  Besides the obvious reasons to eat natural grown foods, it is also good to use fresh locally grown fruits and veggies for BOTH fat loss and muscle building as well as health and vitality.

So here it is a short list of great reasons for Fruits and Veggies

Fruits and veggies are delicious!
Some crunch, some are juicy, some you can peel, some you can grow in your own backyard!
Fruits and veggies are nature’s treat and easy to grab for a snack.
Fresh fruits and veggies – there are hundreds to choose from. Try a new one today!
Eating a healthy diet including fruits and veggies can help contribute to your overall health and vitality.
Eating plenty of fruits and veggies may help reduce the risk of some types of cancer.
Most fruits and veggies are naturally low in calories.
Fruits and veggies provide fibre that helps fill you up and keeps your digestive system happy.
Fresh, frozen, canned and dried fruits and veggies are ready when you are!
Fruits and veggies add color, texture and goodness to every meal and snack.
Adapted from Produce for Better Health Foundation
If you really want to learn how you can eat fruits and veggies for fat loss and muscle building you may want to get one of our Done-For-You Fat Loss Meal Plans or to really get incredible fat loss and muscle building results try a Personalized Nutrition Program.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I am sure you have all been waiting on this...

Finally the Fat Loss Super Shakes Are Being Made!

I have to admit this was and is a daunting task.  I am floored.. blown away at the amount of amazing Fat Loss Super Shakes and even some Lean Builder and a few Muscle and MASS building shakes and smoothie recipes that have poured in.  Seriously you are all amazing, very creative and I am personally going to reward each one of you.

BUT... Before I send out the top 5 picks from our office or even before I shoot the grocery video, the shake making videos or the highly anticipated taste testing I still have to compile a list of all the ingredients we are going to need.

I apologize for the delay, but I promise to pick the Top 5 and announce it here on the blog EmpoweredNutrition.com 

As soon as we have all the recipes, we are going shopping, firing up the blender and getting on the freeze brain for some fun.

I think we should have this all wrapped up this week and will be sure to send out the Winners $300 Grocery Gift Card Registration Forms.

Then we will get to work shooting photos of each shake, put them into the recipe ebook and send you all a copy to download.

Thank you for all your submissions and even those still pouring in everyday.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I am instituting a global call to action.  Its contest time.  Empowered Nutrition is hosting a Social Proof Project: Fat Loss Super Shakes and Smoothies Contest.  

Everybody that submits a recipe (as a comment) will receive a copy of the Social Proof Project: Fat Loss Super Shakes and Smoothies Recipe eBook.

Top 10 (declared by rely comments and kudos by the community) will be short tracked like the Canadian Olympic Hockey Teams and move to Semi Finals (Top 5) to be judged, with ingredients purchased, made and drank live on video for your personal pleasure.

The Top 5 Winners will receive $300 in Grocery Gift Cards and everyone that participates by submitting a recipe will get a copy of the Social Proof Project: Fat Loss Super Shakes and Smoothies eBook with hard copies available at cost upon request.

Its going to be amazing... slightly scary what I might have to drink, but I will do it regardless... just be gentle with me, I'm fragile with a weak stomach.

Check it out, enter early, enter often, tell your friends to come and reply comment on your recipe to increase your odds of winning. http://EmpoweredNutrition.com/fat-loss-super-shake-contest]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips - REVIEWED

Jeff Anderson asked me to review his eBook as a friend.  We often bounce things off each other so I thought sure... I quickly realized this could easily be 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips from Empowered Nutrition.  I can't NOT suggest you read 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips... its too good to miss.

Included is 3 Support Audios on Nutrition, Exercise and Motivation AND 2 Super Bonus items, an eBook Food Label Secrets Revealed and another Audio with Dr. Cory Holly and his wife the super fit Tracey Holly.

At the end of this link, I provide a very special limited time Empowered Insiders link to save some dough if you choose to get 101 Sneaky Weight Loss Tips.  The Empowered Nutrition Insiders Special is soo low I can't post it... but its over Sunday at noon CST.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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.

Patrick.

Tomorrow another monkey recipe... this one is more of a sweet dessert you will love... it’s almost like cheating.]]></description>
