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?
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
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.
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:
Kick Start Your Fat Loss Program to Move You Toward Your Fat Loss Goal
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:
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.
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 <<
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.

Let me hear all about your favorite fat loss products, formulas and tricks. Just add your comment below.
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
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.
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.
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!
Let’s take a look at motivation and goal setting in order to understand them better. Setting goals motivates you to achieve them. Another way to help you achieve your goals is to visualize the end results.
Ever hear the saying “Build it and they will come”? The key concept here is to visualize the end result and it will happen. Visualizing the achievement of your goals not only makes you reach them faster and easier but also keeps you motivated!
Think of your goal setting like this: DREAM, GOAL, PLAN, EFFORT.
Try answering these questions for yourself:
Mario Lopez sets goals
DREAM – What is your dream? BIGGEST GOAL
GOALS – What steps must you take to reach your dream?
PLANS – What will you need to do to achieve your goals? What are the consequences and requirements of your goals? TIME, MONEY, ACTION
EFFORT – How will you get started? What will you do to achieve your goals and obtain your dream?
Goals can be broken down into big goals, small goals, tangible goals and intangible goals:
Big goals are the big achievement markers, like losing 50 pounds or being able to run a 20 kilometer marathon.
Small goals are big goals broken down into small, manageable chunks. For example, if you want to lose100 pounds in one year, you can break that down into the number of pounds you must lose each week (about 2). That amount of weight loss becomes your small weekly goal.
Tangible goals are goals that can be measured quantifiably, with a weigh scale, tape measure, or stop watch. For example, the amount of weight on a bar is a quantifiable measurement of how much you can lift. Losing 50 pounds is a tangible goal.
Intangible goals are goals that can’t be measured exactly, like “feeling better”, “being healthier”, “looking better”, “being at the top of my game”.
You also need to think about the rewards from achieving your goals. You’ll be rewarded by simply accomplishing your goal, but you should also reward yourself for your achievement. The reward for losing 30 pounds is that you look and feel great, but it also means you need new clothes, so reward yourself and go shopping! Give yourself big rewards for accomplishing big goals (a new bike, a shopping spree, even a vacation) and small rewards for accomplishing small goals (going out for dinner).
Tell everybody about the rewards that you’re going to get when you achieve your goals. By telling people your goals and the rewards attached to them, they too will get excited about your goals and rewards.
Other people may become your greatest motivational tools in staying on track and achieving your rewards!
They may even be inspired to follow your lead and your example and join you.
Let’s start by setting some goals right now. Just fill in the blank spaces with some simple answers, without thinking too much or over-analyzing. We’ll start with your big goal in our next section of Setting Goals to Stay Motivated.
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.
Apples are an exceptionally beneficial food for people to eat. They are sweet which makes them not hard to eat and there are enough varieties available that people can find one that fits the size of apple they’re looking for. In addition, they contain a variety of vitamins and nutrients that people need to be healthy.
Apples are good for you. You’ve heard it from the time you were a tiny kid… “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But how do apples actually benefit your health?They knew about the health benefits of apples centuries ago (where do you think the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” came from) and while many things have changed since then, the benefits of apples have not.
Apples help our bodies fight cancer; studies have shown that there are several components in juicy fruit, such as apples, which help to prevent the growth of cancer cells. Healthy apples are most potent when the fruit is eaten whole, including the skin, and by choosing the darker apples, such as deep Red Delicious, Fuji, Jonathan, Rome Beauty and Red Spartan. Apples are a good source of vitamin C and fiber. Italian researchers found people who ate more than one apple a day lowered their risk for oral, esophageal, colon, breast, ovarian, prostate and other cancers by 9 to 42%.
You know the saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. It may well be true that it is time to rethink this, and start eating your apples as a receipe for healthy living.
Here are some of the major benefits of apple cider vinegar alone:
apple cider vinegar and weight loss
apple cider vinegar and acid reflux
apple cider vinegar and acne
apple cider vinegar and wart
apple cider vinegar and heartburn
apple cider vinegar and yeast infection
apple cider vinegar and arthritis
apple cider vinegar for skin
apple cider vinegar and cholesterol
apple cider vinegar for hair
apple cider vinegar and blood pressure
apple cider vinegar for sinus infection
Benefits of apple eating
Apple is also said to be an “airy” fruit as 25 percent of an apple’s volume is air (this is the reason why they float when put in water) but remaining is filled with different vitamins and nutrients. Apples contain both insoluble and soluble fibre which can lower cholesterol, relieve constipation, and protect against cancer (especially breast and colon cancer), heart attack, macular degeneration, menopausal bone loss, asthma, type II diabetes, strokes, increased lung function and weight loss.
* Provide antioxidant protection
* Aid iron absorption
* Help to keep bad LDL cholesterol level in check and can even lower it.
* Help prevent heart disease, heart attacks and stroke.
* Reduce the risk of lung cancer, improve lung function and reduce the severity of asthma. It seems that children who drink apple juice daily have less severe asthma compared to those who drink the juice one a month.
* Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
* Help regulate blood pressure
There are many more reasons to eat well and enjoy life, but none greater than to increase the quality and quantity of life for yourself and those you love and care for like family and friends and even strangers.
Go ahead share this blog post with someone you love or even someone you hate, just pass it on and give them a reason to think of you every time they eat an apple. I hope its an apple a day.
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.
