With all the different artificial sweeteners on the market we are to believe that we can have the taste of sugar without consequences…
As we all know all artificial sweeteners are poison and cause reactions not just in our brain, but also our liver, and other internal organs!
Even Truvia causes reactions because it is very processed and not at it’s natural state like stevia….
Besides the point of causing damage in your body, sugar exchanges no matter how close to natural are still sweet!!!
That’s the point right?
Well, as soon as something “sweet” reaches your tong and censors, your pancreas will release insulin, increasing fat production in your liver and causing weight gain eventually!
Sucks right?
I have been using artificial sweeteners in the past to flavor my protein pancake, oatmeal muffins and other healthy treats I make!
Lately I have noticed that not much has happened in my fat loss process…
So last week I have been staying away completely from all sugar exchanges, just eating plain old oats…egg whites…a.s.o
My body was giving me a fast forward to weight loss!
There was a significant change in the appearance of my midsection!
This is my personal opinion:
While first time dieters may get away while using artificial sweeteners, repetitive dieters as myself can no longer achieve results!!!
While you can still use some sort of natural sweetener sporadically or as a treat, staying away from sweet tasting foods and exchanges might be the key to speed up or re activate your personal goal!

Supplements Work!!!

If you have never taken any nutritional supplements you need to start now!!!
Let’s not even think about organic food, GMO, or any of that stuff….
Unless you have a vegetable garden at your house and harvest your own fruit and veggies, you are in nutrition deficit !!!
Your produce has been harvested at a Pre mature stage, put on a box, delivered to your favorite store two weeks ago….
You are left with 25% of the original nutrition of your food!
Chances are that you keep the very same food in your fridge for a couple of days at least before you eat it….
Cooked ….nuked….
How much of your nutritional value you think you have left???
Chances are not much!
We are a malnutritioned society 🙁
Cancer, heart disease , autoimmune disfunction…
Sad but true!
We need to supplement our food intake!
Start by using a good multivitamin supplement ( quality please not a daily one )!
Calcium Magnesium and Zinc (gel caps or capsule not hard pressed pills)!
Go from there..
Stress levels? Vitamin B complex, cortisol blocker
Energy? B12 , D, C
Depleted adrenal glands from caffeine and other sources?
Hair, skin, nails?
Muscles?
Fighting free radicals? (Hello … We live in a polluted world created by us)!
There are hundreds of reasons why WE don’t function right ….
I notice a big difference in my process of either gaining muscle or leaning out!
Without supplements I end up with flat looking muscle, or my weight/fat loss process is very slow.
Anabolism and catabolism ( muscle gain and muscle loss)  happens every day, but you can change the ratio in how this happens 🙂

Thank you!

Build a tight Body or how to prevent becoming a Skinny Fat!

Have you noticed that some people put a lot of effort into seeing that scale weight down and starving themselves while doing so?
Despite on how their body looks in the end as long as they see a low number on the scale weight….
Later you can see excess skin on arms, stomach area and sometimes even sagginess in their faces!
Well instead of focusing on the right nutrition and amounts, they have focused on extrem low calorie intake and not enough nutrition …..
Even a person that works out regularly should focus much on food intake!
The right amounts as well as when to eat what!
Always, always include protein with all your meals, especially your post workout meal!
Never under feed your muscle ….
Once that skin is sagging, it is to late!
You have waisted your muscle and sacrificed  your skins elasticity from malnutrition !!!
How important is it to you to not only look good in clothes?
Balance is the key!!!
Always combine Protein and carbohydrates ….
Eat some carbohydrates and a protein after your Workout!!!
Less carbs if you want to lean out, more to gain muscle!
Eat complex carbs after your workout, not simple sugars except if you are on a bulking regime…
White rice and red potatoes are great after a heavy leg day (4-6oz or 1 cup of cooked rice depending on your weight)!
Never go under 1200 calories per day because you will put your metabolism on a stand still!!!
Always eat food as close as possible to natural state!
Always (always) use supplements!!!
We are all nutrition deficient ( I don’t care who says what…)
Take a high quality multivitamin product (not from Walgreens)!
Calcium Magnesium and Zinc with D has so many more values than just feeding your bones!
Don’t ever skip protein!!!
At least have a high quality whey protein supplement like Iso 100!
Protein deficiency leads to bone loss and osteosperoses !!!!
Keep that in mind 🙂
Chose a Trainer that has experience and a good qualification!
Someone that can answer all of your question.
When it comes to supplements always go to a Nutrition Store like Freddie’s Nutrition in Las Vegas where you find high quality supplements to low prices….

Now to cardiovascular activity!
If you keep doing high intensity training daily ( or sometimes twice per day as I see some people do), you will only burn carbohydrates ….
Which means you need to adjust your daily carbohydrate requirement to your training!
But that’s not the only down side…
Doing High Intensity Training daily will cause severe join distress!!!
Knee issues, back pain, ankle strain, the list goes on!
Recommendation?
Twice per week is okay 🙂

Emotional Eating!

I like to say “we are all Emotional Eaters”, it doesn’t matter if you do not eat when you are stressed or if you eat everything inside…
It always has to do with food!
Whatever makes us happy or forget about our day for a second.
And that’s just it! A second!
After that we are stuck with pounds to lose or muscle to regain if you are not eating !
Keep in mind that Sugar intake will cause a spike in your blood sugar, put real strain on your pancreas and mess with your liver which are all responsible for fat gain…
One gram of Fat has more than twice the calorie content than carbs or protein!
A small amount is loaded with tons of calories!!!
Example would be one tablespoon of oil = 120 calories!
But it doesn’t fill you up!
Try different methods….
Take a hot bath and have some Kava Tea!
Get a dog or a cat, which are great stress re leavers’
Use over the counter Supplements to help you relax!!!
Freddie has a great variety of amazing products to re leave stress and cope with moods.
Exercise!!!!
Number one stress re leaver!
Do Yoga!
Your Emotions are not worth putting on 50 pounds!!!
NOT WORTH IT!!!
It is a circle that keeps going, because now you don’t even like yourself anymore!!!
Put a stop on this!
Break the circle!
YOU need to do this!!!
YOU are the only person to make YOU happy!
Nobody will do this for YOU!!!
Try to do this:
1. Write down everything that you like about yourself.
2. Start a diary…
3. Ask yourself before you eat your meal: do I want to feed my body fat or my muscle?
4. Tell yourself STOP!!! NO MORE!
5. Stop blaming your environment!
You are responsible for your action….
And You are the Only one believing it is someone else’s fault!
Time to change.
Time to make yourself responsible for your weight.
Snack exchanges:
You are starving: fry a whole egg (with yolk) in a pan with a tiny bit if coconut oil, put it on a rice cake ….
This will stop the nagging hunger but has about 100 calories!
Sugar cravings: rice cake with 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter and 1 tsp of sugar free jelly!
Salt: slice a tomato or 1/4 cucumber and sprinkle with salt!
Lower your calorie intake.
Don’t go shopping hungry or stressed.
Don’t have high calorie snacks in your house.
And next time you feel down work out!!!
You will feel much better and lose weight 😉
