Supplements for Fat Loss

February 3rd, 2010

I have to admit I am not easily surprised but I am often shocked by some of the questions I am asked.  They come almost as statements not even questions.

I get a lot of clients and even complete strangers asking me point blank without hesitation what are the “best supplements for fat loss”.

Why should this surprise you and even shock me? Well quite simply its not about the “magic” pills and powders.  Its not about counting on one more product to make your life all fat into a skinny little box, size 0 jeans or XS bikini.

Fat Loss is more about using supplements wisely to enhance your fat loss, not to be the answer to fat loss.

You must first get your diet in order.  Only good nutrition will set you on your way to true fat loss.  The “magic” pills, powders and potions are there for 1 of two reasons and both will work for you.

Supplements are designed to do two key things for fat loss:

  1. Kick Start Your Fat Loss Program to Move You Toward Your Fat Loss Goal
  2. Burn Down the Last Few Pounds or Percent Body Fat to Accomplish Your Goal

OK so I have avoided the question for now, and I am going to avoid it a bit more.  Now I want you to think about when you should take your supplements.

You will want to take any supplements (in this case, multivitamins and fat burners) 2-3 times per day for best results.

WHAT?! Take how many pills how many times a day you say!

I know this is against the “once a day” multi vitamin marketing you are reading about, but would you rather hear pie in the sky or hear the truth no matter how ugly it sounds from someone you can trust.

Once a day multi’s fat burners, joint formulas, whatever the supplement may be are a load of crap.  They don’t exist.  All that is happeining is you are getting more stuff crammed into a tighter bundle with more fillers, glues and binding agents that take longer to break down.  Reality is half the time if you just turn around and look in the toilette there goes your “one-a-day” and your hard earned cash.

To avoid flushing your multi down the drain, you need to take a pill, powder or liquid 2-3 times per day.


Think of it this way, you feed yourself several times a day right.  Well supplements are no different than food… 1, 2, 3 plus times per day.

I recommend taking your supplements with or near food.  Most products are absorbed better with food.  Others are designed to reduce hunger and cravings etc… to create a response in the body as is the case with fat burners, taken on empty stomach can be a bit trying on your system, but 30 minutes before a meal or workout will reduce cravings and hunger and increase fat burning.  Taking a Multi Vitamin with food is essential since it is better absorbed by the body with the presence of food and other natural vitamins, which reminds me… buy natural version supplements, not tiny pills from pharmaceutical manufacturing companies.  The body knows the difference and assimilates natural versions better.

I want you to take your supplements first thing in the morning and again mid afternoon for best results.  Everyone can tailor their supplement schedule to their needs, but this is optimal for assimilation, energy and keeping it simple.

OK so here we go.  Now you know when to take your supplements for fat loss, how about what to take. Here’s my no nonsense approach to fat loss supplements…

MUST HAVE SUPPLEMENTS:

  1. Protein Powders – 2 to  times per day – Whey protein is the safe choice for all your needs, but I would even step up and recommend a full spectrum blending protein as a solid back up.
  2. Multi Vitamin and Mineral Formula – It is essential to get a good multi.  Of course I can recommend many products, I can support only a few and I can take even fewer myself and if I won’t take it, then you shouldn’t either.  Without a doubt I am going to shamelessly self promote here, but try our Essential Multi’s as they are powders in an instant desolving capsule.
     >> Vital Force – Essential Multi for Men <<
         >> Slim Appeal Essential Multi for Women <<
  3. Thermogenics / Fat Burners – Well this one is the easiest to answer.  Get one. They are great aids in fat loss.  Remember this is not a “magic” pill, but rather a supplement or aid in your fat loss goals.  Note: there are burners for guys and weight loss products or women.  There is a BIG difference!  Some formulas for guys are too darn strong and all about the BUZZ for girls and it can leave you (women) felling wired and wigged out.  Again a powder in a capsule is the ticket, take it 2+ times per day and don’t waste your money.
    >> Burner – Advanced Fat Loss Formula for Men – Click Here <<
    >>     Slim Appeal Advanced Weight Loss Formula for Women <<

SUPPLEMENTS OF BENEFIT:

  • Creatine – yeah that sounds odd, but if you are into extreme dieting you need muscle retention to keep the metabolism pumping
  • Flax Seed Oils
  • Fish Oils
  • L-Carnitine
  • Coffee, coffee, coffee, buzz, buzz, buzz
  • Green tea
  • Green tea extract
  • Yohimbine
  • 5-HTP
  • Synephrine
  • HCA
  • ALA

This list can honestly be exhaustive and go on and on, but you get the idea.  Designer blends are your best bet for fat loss supplements.  The reason, they have done all their research and bring pretty potent fat burners to market to save you time and money searching for the right ingredients, blends and bottles so you don’t have to.

You can get great products all over the place online, offline, from a buddy or MLM program, but I recommend this.  Don’t buy the cheapest product, don’t buy the most expensive product you will be “ripped off” (not ripped) at both ends,  But middle of the bunch in terms of brand and price and you tend to be getting exactly what you are paying for.

MOTIVATED & EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED (part 3)

January 21st, 2010

Setting Goals to Stay Motivated

I don’t want to spend too much time harping on goal setting and how important it is to instant and long term success.  So let`s get right into it.  If you need a moment to visualize take it now.  Think of everything you have always wanted in life and what it will look, feel, smell and taste like when you achieve that goal and reward yourself.

This may sound new age and a bit too funky for you, but trust me it helps.

Now lets move into it…

YOUR BIG GOAL

This is the goal that you will achieve over time with dedication and commitment. It’s important that your big goal is realistic. One of the biggest reasons people fail at achieving their goals is because their goals are unrealistic. Gaining 20 pounds of muscle is a realistic goal, but gaining 20 pounds of muscle in a couple of weeks is not! If you are uncertain about what a realistic goal is, a consultation with your personal trainer, a fitness or nutrition professional, or just some research on your own will go a long way. Here are some examples of realistic and attainable goals:

• Losing 50 to 100 pounds this year. Expect to lose one to two pounds per week. One to two pounds per week = 50 to 100 pounds this year.

• Losing three, five, even ten pounds in the first two weeks. Expect to lose the most weight in the first two weeks and continue to lose one to two pounds weekly thereafter.

• Losing ten percent body fat. Expect to lose one to three percent of your body fat each month, depending on your starting body fat percentage.

• Gaining twelve to twenty-four pounds of lean muscle. You can gain one to two pounds of lean body mass per month.

• Increasing your strength by twenty percent. You can increase your strength by two to five per cent each month.

Now it’s time for you to write down your big goal. Your big goal should have a tangible component (like how many pounds you will lose), a timeline (how long it will take you to lose those pounds), an intangible component (how you will feel after losing that much weight), and a big reward when you achieve it. For example, your big goal might be, “I will reduce my body fat percentage to 15 percent and my weight by 35 pounds in one year. I’m going to feel fit, healthy and sexy! My reward will be a Caribbean cruise.”

My goal was to go from 263 pounds to 196 pounds on stage at a body building contest.  I came close, in fact I missed my goal by 8 pounds.  The good thing was I gained 8 pounds of lean muscle while dieting down.  take a look…

YOUR BIG GOAL AND REWARD: (write it down) _________________________________

YOUR SMALL GOALS

Now that you’ve written down your big goal, you can develop your small goals to help keep you on track to success. Typically, small goals will be goals that you accomplish in a month or a week. To develop your small goals, take the timeline from your big goal and divide it into weeks, then work out what you must accomplish each week to achieve your big goal. If your big goal is to lose 50 pounds in one year, divide the year by 52 to get the number of weeks. Now divide the number of pounds you want to lose by 52, which equals 0.96. That means you need to lose less than one pound per week if your big goal is to lose 50 pounds in one year.

Your small goals should include a time component, a tangible component, an intangible component and a small reward. For example, your small goals could be, “Each week, I will lose two pounds and feel a little slimmer and a little stronger. I will treat myself to an ice cream sundae as my reward.”

YOUR SMALL GOALS AND REWARDS: (write it down) _________________________________

You can apply the same techniques for achieving dreams and goals you’ve outlined here to other dreams and goals in your life. Try writing down some of your personal dreams and goals, break them down into small goals, then go achieve them and reward yourself.

You may be surprised by how easy it is when you do it this way!

So get fired up, get excited, visualize your dream, set your goals, plan the work and work the plan, go out and put the effort into Your Best Lean Body ever!

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.

How to Increase Your Skin Tone

December 5th, 2009

Well today as promised I want to discuss “How to Increase Your Skin Tone”.

This one could be a bit odd to many of you, but it’s an old dog and pony show that I am very familiar with from my days competing.  You don’t need to go as far as I would, but here’s the gist of it all.

I start tanning 2 times a week from week 6 if I can.  If you haven’t don’t worry.  I suggest getting a tan today and Wednesday, just a light one, don’t burn.

If you have been tanning, stop on Wednesday, maybe Thursday, no later.

Tanning, especially burning will cause you to retain water in the skin.  It draws it from your muscles and stores it in the skin.  It’s a reaction to the harmful rays.  So less is better and some color is better than none and way better than burning for many reasons, the most important being health and well being and cancer free.

Consistent tanning can help you dry out a bit as well.

OK, so this part is going to be a bit odd for you.

LUBE UP!

Yeah that is WHACKED!  I said it, “LUBE UP”.  I want to help you get great skin tone and elasticity.  To do that, you will need to keep soft and moisturized every day, maybe 2-3 times a day to be sure.  It will help skin color and tone and allow that skin to shrink wrap your body and those new cuts just a bit deeper.  It really does help a lot.

Start using a loofah or scrub bud all over your body.  This will help get the body ready for the lotion, slough off dry dead skin and make way for new skin as well as prep the body for better color.

If you are going to spray tan, now is the time to start, not the day before.  Sometimes you can end up looking more like a messy mud pie than a buffed and built bronzed goddess or statue of desirable proportions.

Go deep, get a deep rich color, layered on layer on layer on layer.  Buff each day in the shower and apply a new even coating to your color and moisturize often during the day.  When you think you are dark enough go darker.

Take a look at these photos and tell me if you see the difference.  Seriously I know you are not going on stage, but you get the idea, the lights can wash out your cuts and lean lines fast.  A healthy tan looks good and if you are onstage you need to look like a chocolate moose before going up there, even if you are naturally dark skinned you need a tan and some added color.  Trust me it helps.

[insert photo - precontest hotel room and on stage]

No scrubbing, No tanning and No fluids on Sunday.  Last shower is Sunday morning for Monday mid morning photos… then you can shower again.

Join me tomorrow when I drop a bomb on you with my next post…

“How to get a Super Lean Pump”

Until then, enjoy another day of Empowered eating and get lots of rest.

Patrick.

How to increase the tight lean look

December 4th, 2009

OK, I think that title says it all.

Now the question is “How to increase the tight lean look, Patrick, you meat head nutritionist?”

Well its not always simple, but the answer is true.  Blood, sweat and tears.  OK maybe not that bad, but it will be a challenge.  I know you are up for it and it will be easier than you think.

Let’s Review:

We doubled our water – this is paramount to getting just a bit tighter than you could expect and paramount if you want to look tighter and leaner than an average day at the beach.

How else can we look tighter with nutrition?  Simply you can follow the previous suggestion and the outline for water intake, but there is another step to this trick.  You MUST swap all your simple carbs, fruits and dairies for more complex, high fibre and nutrient dense options.

For example SWAP:iStockFruitSelectionB

  • Bananas for Rice Cakes
  • Rice Cakes for Potatoes
  • Apples for Oatmeal
  • Grapes for Broccoli
  • Milk for Protein Shakes made with water

You get the idea.  You also want to start to limit what we call dry carbs.  These are simply the breads and pastas and for the most part man made products.  These are already limited in your meal plans, but even this moderate shift away from dry carbs, fruits and dairy will make a huge impact on your appearance and quite honestly will dip a bit deeper into the fat stores for more crisp looks to your new lean body.

I would even suggest going with a tried and true STOP day.  Brad Pilon can give you a ton of science on this Eat STOP Eat theory, but I know how it works for fat loss and in the case water shed.  Here’s the snap shot of it all.

Eating causes water retention.  STOP allows the body to clear the system for better digestion.  Eating can fill out the muscle bellies, but also cause you to bloat in the waist and spill over to the skin giving that watery and smooth appearance.  A STOP can cause you to burn just a few more fat cells in the last few days.  Most importantly, carbs retain water, a STOP day will cut that problem off.  Now here’s the neat cool thing I know from experience.  A STOP day is not the magic you are looking for.  In fact it’s the eat day right after the STOP day.  You see when you start to eat again, the body naturally has a rebound effect and dumps a load of water.  This is especially true when you take in solid amounts of protein and fat and keep the carbs limited.  If you haven’t played with a STOP day, I might suggest you skip this trick.  But if you have done Eat STOP Eat and it works for you, then you will want your STOP day to be next Saturday December 12th for a full 24 hours.

How do you do it. Eat the Empowered Nutrition way until Friday evening, say 5pm.  Then after a solid Empowered Dinner, you will STOP all calories for 24 hours, until dinner tomorrow.  Eat a clean Empowered Dinner on Saturday at 6pm.  No snack that night, just 1 meal.  Then Sunday start with an Empowered Nutrition Breakfast, without any simple carbs, I suggest your favorite Empowered Oatmeal and Egg or Protein Smoothie breakfast (just keep an eye on your liquid intake) and get back on track eating every 3 hours for the rest of the day.

There you have it, one more way to get tight and lean without doing anything at all.  Literally NOTHING at all.  Very cool and just so we are very aware, from personal experience it works.

Tomorrow I will cover “How to Increase Your Skin Tone” to help with your color and after pictures.

I know it’s the weekend, so try to relax and rest.  Enjoy.

Patrick.

You can read more on Eat STOP Eat, just click  the book and I will let Brad Pilon explain it all to you.

How to Make Your Transformation Photos Outstanding

December 3rd, 2009

I have to apologize as things around here are crazier than ever and my blogging has taken a bit of a hit and so have my email updates to everyone. I am sorry and will do my best to do better.

I want to help everyone get ready for their after pictures; we are closing on 1 week from now. WOW! That has flown by.

I want to help you get that tight, dry look and show a nice trim and toned body.

To do that I am going to have to post a new tip each day for the next few days leading up to the final “P-day” (Picture Day). Here are the topics I am going to cover to get you completely ready for the AFTER PICTURES AND PARTY!

****************WARNING!***************

1. How to cut water safely and effectively
2. How to increase the tight lean look
3. How to increase your color and skin tone
4. How to get a super lean pump without carb loading
5. What to do the day before

bik3_106203b

To start, last week I said in a blog post and email to double your water intake of what you normally drink in a day. Hopefully you have done that. If not do not worry, everything will work just fine. Follow these instructions.

Keep the same level of black coffee, tea to the same level as always. No milk, no dairy, no sugar.
Swap all fruits, dairy and simple sugars to more complex ones, like mixed veg… my favourite is mixed beans, warm or cold in olive oil with spices and dry herbs at every meal for the best and most enjoyable flavors.

(Dry herbs do not have an abundance of calories to require caloric adjustments, enjoy)

  • Double your water starting Friday December 4th, 2009 – that is 10 days out, Monday the 14th does not count as you should take your photos in the morning
  • Drink double your water for 6 days to next Thursday evening
  • Return water intake to normal Friday
  • Reduce Water by half of normal on Saturday
  • Half that on Sunday by noon; with zero water after noon on Sunday until after your photo shoot, just enough to wet your lips and brush your teeth, that’s it…I even went so far as to chew ice and spit it out just to satisfy the wet lip needs when needed, but that is a bit extreme

Rememeber you will not be dehydrating yourself. You are super compensating for over a week. You are forcing the body to get used to a new level of hydration for a week. Then just as your body thinks its got it figured out and ready to go back a normal level of bathroom breaks, you cut it in half (or back to regular intake). This causes your body to release more than it takes in, but in reality you are still taking in plenty of liquids.

  • Cutting your water in half for a day is no big deal.
  • Cutting your water in half again is fine, still healthy functions will remain.
  • Going zero water for the next 12-24 hours is a mental challenge, but easily overcome.

To aid in your fat loss, you will want to consider the use of an extra cup of coffee in the last few days. I like to have 1-2 extra coffees hot or cold over ice to help in the “drying” results.

You can also swap carbs for things like asparagus, lemon and cucumber to increase the mild diuretic results. Some people like to drink lemon grass green tea as it has superior detox and drying results than black coffee.

If you have some cool tips and tricks you like to use, please comment and share with others. I know you want to keep it a guarded secret, but come on, who cares, this is all for fun and the love of the Transformation Contest, after all its really You Vs. You.

Tomorrow I will talk about “How to increase that tight and lean look”.

Your Empowered Transformation Coach,

Patrick.
