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.

1. Cool C
2. E for Excellent
3. Magnificent Magnesium
4. The Non Vitamin… All Washed Up

Taking Control

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.

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…

315,532,800 Celebration

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

My Top 10 Foods for Fat Loss

Top 10 Foods For Fat Loss

This is taken from My Q&A from The Empowered Transformation Coaching Program

Empowered Member Question: “What are your top 10 must eat foods for fat loss?”

You can read it in full detail on the blog www.EmpoweredNutrition.com, but for now here is the list and a sentence to get you thinking.

Okay so Top 10 Foods For Fat Loss, this is not an easy task, there are so many things I want to do and say about foods for fat loss, for now, here we go.

Water (I had a bunch of Transformation Coaching clients tell me “that’s NOT food!”)

Okay fine so water isn’t “food” but it is the most important substance you can take into your body… Water is 100% essential need to the body, and 100% essential for fat loss. If nothing else remember this the next time you chug down some water. “How do you think that fat leaves the body?” I will give you a hint, it doesn’t just magically disappear into nothing.

Eggs

My next choice is eggs, especially egg whites and omega 3 eggs. You know there is just nothing you can’t do with good old fashioned natural eggs…

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a personal obsession, it is hard not to put it at one because of my pure love for it but nonetheless here it is, Oatmeal. A lot of people get very confused about oatmeal, how to cook it, which brand to get…

EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids)

Next up is EFA’s or essential fatty acids. These are essential. Yeah I know, not really a food either, or are they? They come from foods and are natural, so I consider EFA’s empowerednutrition…

Berries

Berries. Particularly I would chose wild blueberries, raspberries and cranberries. Some of the best sources of anti-oxidants, fiber, low calories, easy to make anything taste good with and if you buy frozen you can save some cash…

Fish

I am NOT a huge fish fan for taste, but it IS one of the cleanest natrually occuring protein sources on the planet. I still don’t love fish (except fish sticks)…

GREENS

Greens is classified as turnips, spinach, collard, kale, I would even throw in broccoli into that mix. These are the true super foods. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, low calorie, list goes on and on… Find out what I learned from Sam Graci about getting my veggies in…

Protein Powders (YES I know… not really a food… or is it!?)

Now that I gave you my “eat your veggies” talk, let’s talk protein. Specifically, Whey Protein. …

Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes deemed the “antidiabetic” food are filled with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and of all starch foods are the easiest to digest. Did I mention they are really yummy? …

Butters

Yeah this sounds odd.. BUTTERS?…

So with this list realize that if you ate nothing but what is on this list that you have a complete balanced diet right here. Complete amino acids, good fats, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, all right here in these 10 foods. Mix them up even and have real power meals, put the berries in the oatmeal, put the spinach in the omelets, it is endless. Some people might say “hey you didn’t list this or that”, don’t get me wrong there are definitely some other great foods out there, but as far as I what I feel the average person can easily and should keep in their daily diet, these are my top 10 for today.
