"14 Day Fat Flush System"

Hey there,


I’ve stumbled upon something pretty significant recently while working with several of my clients who wanted to achieve faster fat loss.

This new discovery I made proved to be pretty amazing at melting fat off the body. It’s a combination of working out in a short burst, high intensity kind of way and a manipulation (for a lack of a better word) of your eating program – NOT A DIET.

But here’s the coolest part of this thing… the results come FAST. In fact the entire program lasts 14 days and the results are amazing.

I’m considering offering this program to a small group of people who are interested in burning a lot of fat in 14 days.

So I’m calling it my “14 Day Fat Flush system,” but before I commit to doing a program like this, I wanted to see how many people would be interested in a 14 day rapid fat loss program like this.

If you think you’d be interested in joining my small group of “beta testers” and getting fast fat loss results in 14 days, then call me right now (303)588-3998 and let me know and I’ll let you know if and when I plan to launch this 14 Day Fat Flush system.

Thanks a bunch!

Is Sugar good or bad?

This is a very good question. But the answer is simple, it's both! Sugar can be very harmful to your body, and can be very beneficial.

Sugar is a Carbohydrate, which once it enters the body, it's converted into Glucose. Glucose runs through the bloodstream and releases a very powerful hormone called Insulin. Insulin is generated through the Pancreas. From there, this entire process will do two things: will be stored in your bloodstream as fat, or used up for muscle building energy!

So here's the catch, your body is usually in a state of Anabolic or Catabolic. Anabolic meaning Growing (boost in metabolism), Catabolic meaning breaking down (slowing down of metabolism). People who rarely exercise, have a mainly Catabolic body, and Anabolic for people who do exercise.

To make sugar beneficial to your body, you need to consume it at the correct times. After a night of sleep your body is w/o fuel for quite some time, it's depleted of energy. If you consume a reasonable amount of sugar at this time it will be used by your muscles, bones and skin as energy, and it will not be stored as fat. Another key time for sugar consumption is after a workout. Regardless if you ran a marathon, lifted heavy weights, or did a million sprints, your body is depleted of it's energy. When the body is depleted of energy it uses energy from your muscles to help you keep going (bad). Some sugar in the morning is fine, and some sugar with some quality protein after a workout is ideal!

My post workout consumption - sugary drink w/whey protein shake and two ripe bananas!

Yogurt: Selecting the correct one

There are so many yogurts on the market today, but which one is the most beneficial for your body?

The main yogurt brand which stands out to me is Yoplait. Yoplait has the most variety and is usually the best for your buck. But by now, most people know when a food item is the best for your buck, it's usually not going to be the healthiest. Yoplait, along with the majority of the yogurt world are filled with sugar, and I am talking about added sugar. Some of these yogurts are usually reasonably caloric dense, have potassium, calcium, and protein, but that added sugar out-weighs the pros. Some small yogurts have as much sugar as a single can of soda pop.

When shopping at your local grocery store, choose a Greek yogurt brand. These yogurts have half the sugar and usually 2-3 times the protein (essential for maintaining or building lean muscle). Any flavored yogurt, including Greek yogurt, will have more sugar than plain yogurts. Even though plain Greek yogurt has sugar on the label, there's no added sugar, just natural from the diary. So if you love that Yoplait strawberry yogurt, ditch it and get plain Greek yogurt, and add some fresh strawberries yourself.
