Identifying The Trigger Points That Keeps You Being Fat

keywords: healthy fat loss, sustained fat loss, Trigger Points, exercise plan

 

Hi Everyone,

Today we are going to look at those dreaded trigger points in your life that continue to stop you from getting thin, mainly because you simply trigger a comfort eating cycle which is so difficult to break out of. Identifying your own trigger points, that are keeping you fat is so important a factor when trying to lose those dreaded holiday pounds...

 

I wanted to share with you 2 super important techniques you'll need to understand right away if you want to burn more fat faster...

...AND keep it off after the New Year

Identifying The Trigger Points That Keeps You Being Fat and Overlearning

One of the main reasons 95% of dieters and exercisers fail is that they have certain events, or Trigger Points, in their lives that cause them to go off their diet or exercise plan too easily.

For some people, it is eating in a social setting. They're fine when by themselves, but once they're around pals, they resort to old unhealthy eating habits.

Another is a certain level of stress...this can cause many people to totally abandon healthy fat loss eating habits for a little while.

These are both HUGE Trigger Points that will make sustained fat loss nearly impossible for most dieters and exercisers.

So, now you know what a Trigger Point is...and now we'll talk about how to avoid them:

First, we want to spend a few minutes with a good old piece of paper and a pencil.  Rack your brain and think back to all of the diets or exercise plans you've followed over the years think about the times you veered way off of those routines what caused that? Was it emotional based? Stress based? Social based? etc.

Identifying your Trigger Points is STEP #1 to eliminating them.

OK, now that you've identified your main Trigger Points, the next step is install what's called Overlearning into that noggin of yours.

Overlearning is a concept used by elite athletes, school teachers, and various others involved in learning and teaching behaviors.

For example, many teachers will tell you that if you know a subject "cold" before an exam, you're more likely to do well on it, even allowing for the fact that stress (a Trigger Point) may make you temporarily forget stuff you'd easily recall underless tense conditions .

By overlearning a habit, like the habit of drinking at least 96 oz.of ice cold water throughout each day, it will be very unlikely that you'll do what's comfortable and easy (like not drinking the water and drinking soda pop) if you hit one of your Trigger Points.

When we hit our Trigger Points, we're going to do what's easy, but if you've overlearned a habit that is now like second nature to you, you'll be able to continue with that healthy habits even when faced with overwhelming emotions, stress, or any other Trigger Point.

How long does it take to overlearn something?  Well, if you are trying to teach a new behavior or break an old habit, research shows that you should practice the new behavior, or avoid the old behavior, on a daily basis for about 21 days . . .

You can do a pretty good job of establishing new eating and exercising behaviors in as little as 3 weeks but true overlearning doesn't happen for another 10-11 weeks or so.

By then you'll have built up an almost impenetrable fortress against your personal Trigger Points something that will keep you lean, strong and healthy...well, for life!
I wonder if you understand how powerful using the concepts of overlearning and trigger points will be in your fat loss and fitness goals.

Is Money Really The Root Of All Evil?

Hi Everyone,
As we are nearing the end of 2009 and we all start preparing for whatever 2010 may bring us, we have a special article by our founder John Elliott, who poses a poignant question as to the root of all evil, and asks is it really money, as so many in the world today believe. During 2009 we saw the collapse of localized and International Financial Institutions, we saw the disappearances of many household brand names and manufacturers, we watched in horror as several high street retailers went to the wall through these hard times. Both large and small business's have perished in our present economic climate. Where can we begin to point that finger of blame?

 

Is Money Really The Root Of All Evil?
By John Elliott aka Oaky Wood (c) 2009

In these days of economic meltdown by many banks and financial institutions the world over, I ask is money really the root of all evil, or is it simply the pursuit of it, or maybe like the bible says that it's the "Love" of money that's the real root of all evil.

From ancient times, man has needed money, in one form or another, a simple currency to buy his daily bread with. It didn't matter in those early days whether it was simply a bartering system trade off, my goods or labour for yours, to a portion of salt (a precious commodity in ancient Roman times). Gold, silver and beautiful stones all had a perceived value, indeed as they still do today amongst most civilized societies. Remember our playground years when glass marbles, steelies or a stick of gum were our currency. Then later at college, it was a six pack, or cigarettes that became our bargaining allies. So when did this pursuit of money and riches become the bane of modern day society. When exactly did we turn that corner and become obsessed with this so called root of all evil?

We, that is, modern man, turned that corner when he realised that possessing more and more money (accumulated wealth), more gold than his neighbour, more land than anyone else, more cattle etc, are you seeing the picture immerging yet. We as modern man developed greed, and it was this greed and avarice that drove his passion for wealth. People who had wealth could buy anything, say and do anything, marry the most beautiful women in town, so it was inevitable that eventually with their wealth, along came power.

There's an old adage that says "money talks" this is so true. If you have enough money and wealth, you have the power to change the world, or at least that part of the world in which you live. With power and wealth you can influence a government, have your own militia, and control other people's lives. With unlimited power comes corruption, because money can buy just about anything, and the circle becomes complete.

Look at America today, who actually runs it? It's not the government that's for certain, no it's the most powerful and wealthy amongst you. The wealthiest families and the wealthiest corporations, they pull the strings and hold the power to change every-ones lives. They alone hold the key to every-ones future, be it for good or bad.

In Conclusion

In reality it's not money that's the root of all evil, nor is it the "Love" of money like the bible says. The true root of all evil is MAN and his infinite ability to con and cheat his way to achieving ultimate wealth and power over others, often through inflicting suffering and misery. The present collapses of many of the Worlds Financial Institutions was brought about by the greed of a few.

This article is my own personal view only, through media observations, and international news reports, I have no insights into the exact workings of any financial institution, nor have I any political drum to beat.

A Major Insight for Traditional and Online Professional Speakers

Internet marketing, professional speaker, professional speaking,Kathleen Gage

Hi Everyone,

Here at TC4Women.com we never grow tired of posting and sharing our mentors articles with you. We have attended numerous online tele-seminars by Kathleen over the years, and I can tell you each one was an inspiration. Kathleen is a down to earth no BS kind of speaker who tells it exactly how it is. Her straight forward approach has earned her many accolades both on and off the internet. On Internet Marketing she specialises in teaching, no or very little cost marketing techniques, which are great for both beginner and expert alike. All are easily doable, so if you are interested to learn more, please do read on....

 

A major insight for traditional and online professional speakers
by Kathleen Gage

Recently I was reviewing transcripts from a training program I facilitated with a colleague on how to become a successful professional speaker - a six figure a year speaker. I had to smile when I read our recommendations. Not only are they spot on, they hold as true today as the day we hosted the training. Some things never change.

Granted, I didn't always know the things I know about professional speaking. Actually, prior to 1994, I knew none of what I know about the profession.

My career shifted over 15 years ago when I began getting paid to do keynote presentations as well as corporate training sessions. I have made a fabulous living as a speaker. I have also seen countless individuals come and go in the industry due to not building a solid foundation in their business.

As with virtually any industry, you have people who flood into the world of professional speaking with stars in their eyes of all the fame and fortune they will experience. They mistakenly believe all they have to do is have a great speech and the rest will take care of itself.

Within a year, many who thought it would be a walk in the park to build their speaking business are out looking for other work.

The fact is, whether one speaks in the traditional sense of keynote presentations, corporate trainings, and conference breakout sessions, or one uses the Internet to generate revenue as a speaker, there are some key essentials that must be put in place in order to succeed.

One is to become visible, get known within a market or markets, know how to promote yourself and be able to stand out in the consumer's mind.

Granted, there is always the exception to the rule, but generally speaking, there are specific things that must happen. Among them is to focus on growing your database. Without a solid database, you are making the job of building your business tougher than it need be.

There are countless ways to do this. During a live presentation you can have a giveaway in which audience members fill out an entry form or drop a card in a basket. At some point during your presentation you select a few "winners".

If you've been on the Internet for even the shortest period of time, it is very likely you have opted-into someone's database in exchange for something they offered such as an eBook, MP3, tele-seminar or report. This is called an ethical bribe.

This is a "must do" if you speak professionally online. Some people might wonder what speaking professionally online means. If you host tele-seminars, tele-classes or webinars and there is an exchange of money, you would be considered a professional speaker.

Unfortunately, lots of people are throwing together online events without the proper training, but that is a topic for another discussion. Back to ethical bribes to build your database.

If you want to make the job of building your business easier, keep this question at the top of your mind, "How do I grow my database with highly valuable and responsive potential clients?"

This is not a onetime event. Rather, this is something you need to incorporate into your overall business activities. If you are not doing something on a daily basis to gain visibility within your market (and building your database is definitely part of this) you are likely leaving a lot of opportunity and money on the table.

Seeing Really Is Believing If You Want To Burn Fat, Or Is It?

Keywords: cardiovascular exercise, weight loss product, health and fitness, fat burning

Hi Everyone,

The true reality of losing those extra pounds of fat, is not to be drooling over pictures of people who have obviously been working out in the gym for many hours a day to achieve their own body shape and personal level of fitness, remember these are professionals, they are expected to look lean and fit, after all they spend all of their working life in the gym, its their job. Looking at Olympic style athletes in magazines or on the internet, or in advertisements for the various products that promise you this and that, and then, at the end of the day, expecting to emulate their achievements, practically over night and all without a lot of hard work in the gym, and strict diets, is bordering on the insane. Yet this is exactly what the vast majority of us do. Yes we look at almost unobtainable body types and expect it all to happen for us overnight, and why? We appear to be so gullible that we actually believe the sales hype put out by the many schemes available out their. Almost all will emphasise how easy it all is to lose all that body fat. Come on now get real here, if it took you years to gain all this weight in the first place, then it only makes common sense to realise that it simply won't disappear overnight, it's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication on your part, to even start to get thinner. With this in mind, here is an excellent article from Rob Poulos about losing weight. I have included some alternative links at the end for you to look over before you decide which program would better suite your own personal needs.

 

Seeing Really Is Believing If You Want To Burn Fat, Or Is It?

 

As with a good majority of the things we do in life, we rely heavily on our vision or eyesight as the determining factor in whether or not we believe something. And this is unfortunately the case in trying to burn fat as well.  What's the old cliché? 

 

A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

 

Well, when we lock our eyes onto that photo of that buff guy or buxom bombshell on the cover of the latest fitness or weight loss product, something happens. We get excited. We may even get very excited!

 

Unfortunately, this is something that many in the fitness industry are preying on. They know this and use it to their huge advantage. The process is simple: put a great looking and in-shape guy or girl on a product and it will sell. They don't even have to tell you you'll look like that person, they already know your subconscious will assume it will happen. 

 

When you're desperate to burn fat, this is an easy game for the fitness industry to play. And of course a few weeks later if it doesn't, you may start to lose hope and realize that it's going to be tough to keep up with the unrealistic and overly strict guidelines. You've got a life, right? Sure, you want to burn fat, but you've got a job, maybe a family, and other interests in life. Don't get me wrong, I love a great fat burning workout, but I know you don't want to spend every waking hour for the rest of your life working out!  

 

All of this happened to me several times over as a young man. I wasn't happy with my weight, wanted to burn fat, and was in search of the most efficient way to get lean, strong, and healthy, but while not spending too much time in the gym, or having to follow crazy diet plans for long periods of time. 

 

After more than a decade of experimenting on myself, friends, relatives, and perfect strangers, I assembled some of the secrets that I found to work best at burning fat and in the shortest
amount of time, on myself and the others that I worked with. 

 

Now, what led me to do this was an incredible amount of frustration that I know thousands of others are going through right now.

 

Why? To answer that, I want you to understand the psychological aspects of what we are up against in the world of health and fitness.

 

What do you call doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? OK, I'll answer this one...Insanity! In some ways, the fitness industry is making you insane in your quest to burn fat and get a lean, strong, and healthy body.

 

Their promises are too good to be true and often they can't typically deliver on them. They are over-promising and under-delivering in many cases.

 

It's a big psychological game that the fitness industry is playing with us, and it dates back to our childhood.  When we were kids, we were all taught in school that we could do anything we wanted to do when we grew up. Your parents might have even told you that you can achieve anything you want if you believe in it strongly enough. 

 

I know mine did.

 

While this can provide great inspiration in life's pursuits, it can also be used against you by others, and without you knowing. You are largely a product of your genetic makeup.  Just as Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies could never play in the NBA, a guy like Woody Allen could never win a heavyweight bodybuilding competition.

 

The reality is that these two guys can burn fat and get in the best shape of their life, but our genes are responsible for much of what we end up looking like when in that best shape. 

 

But this isn't what the fitness industry will typically tell you they want you thinking that anyone can look like a genetic freak of nature, if you just follow their programs, that is.

 

Please know that I am not saying you are doomed by your genes, everyone can make amazing improvements in their physiques with proper exercise and nutrition habits.  It's when we start comparing ourselves to the guys or gals in the magazines that we get into trouble, and get lost in that vicious cycle of hype and sensationalism all too prevalent in fitness and fat
burning today.

 

As I mentioned before, you've got a life. You're a busy person. We all are.  We live in a fast-paced society, the information age, where we have so many tasks to complete and so little time to complete them. I don't know about you, but I find myself trying to cram everything I do into those few hours between waking up and going to sleep. 

 

It's not easy.

 

Then comes along the fitness gurus telling you that to burn fat and get in great shape you've got to workout everyday or close to it. You've got to do aerobics or cardiovascular exercise to burn fat, several times a week. You've got to weight train several other days each week, so that you are literally working out 5-6 days each week, every week. If you want it, you've got to do it, they say.

 

I'm here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth! Many of these programs will also tell you that you've got to follow some crazy diet to burn fat.  This might include cutting
all or most of your carbs, ingesting loads of supplements or other magic weight loss potions.  On top of that, when their programs don't deliver, they'll tell you that everyone is different and that you've got to find what works right for you.

 

Wait a minute...weren't they just telling you that their program promises the body on the cover?

 

What they are doing is keeping you in that fitness insanity that I mentioned earlier.  They keep you doing the same thing (trying then next hot product or workout and diet regimen) and promising the same great fat burning results. If it doesn't work, they recommend the next great thing.  And too many people go on to that next miracle product or promise and the fitness industry uses this to their advantage!

 

Unfortunately the fitness industry, in many ways, has become a cycle of hype and sensationalism.  Sure, there are some good-hearted trainers and professionals out there, but even some
of them are being controlled by the fitness centre owners, magazine publishers, and supplement companies.  That's where the money is!  Even if they are trying to help you, they can become unwitting victims to the machine.

 

They advertise their products, programs, and diets by using the cream of the crop in the genetic gene pool.  Hey, if it worked for that guy or gal with the amazing physique, it will work for me. I fell for it, too, many times, until I did some serious research and experimentation as I mentioned before.

 

Then one day I finally woke up and discovered for myself the secrets that few people are aware of.  Secrets that will never dominate the fitness industry's general recommendations
because they are unpopular with the people that control the industry. 

 

Why?

 

Because these principles won't sell loads of crazy exercise gimmicks, gadgets, or magic potions. My Fat Burning students are schooled in the proper application of brief, progressive, and
intense resistance training, eating a diet full of nutrient rich foods, drinking tons of water, and getting plenty of quality sleep and rest.

 

But our subconscious mind is powerful, and you have to watch out even today, I can get sucked in to a compelling late night TV ad, even though I know better.  So you've got to stay on guard.

 

If people would pay more attention to proven principles like those I teach my students, and spend less time with the latest "butt buster" or "fat stripper" on the market, we'd all be healthier, leaner, stronger, and happier for it.  And we'd also be burning a heck of a lot more fat in the process.

Did You Know Aspartame Sweetners Are Actually Bad For You?

Keywords: artifitial sweetners, aspartame, stevia, FDA

Hi Everyone,

Now here's another great example of how the FDA is failing in its primary function to protect people against downright dangerous food alternatives being marketed at all by the multi-national corperations. Isn't it time something was done about a product that continues to contribute to more serious long term illness's throughout America and Europe, yet is supposed to be an healthier option than sugar for people on diets or who have diabetes. Yet a proven natural alternative to sugar Stevia is still not recognised by the FDA as a food sweetner. The scandel continues with no action being taken against G.D. Searle Co the inventors of aspartame. What can we do as individuals? We can boycot all artifitial sweetners or products that contain traces of aspatame...Just my thoughs...

 

Aspartame alert: Diet soda destroys kidney function

by: E. Huff, (NaturalNews) staff writer

 

(NaturalNews) Scientists from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston have revealed results from a study outlining some of the effects of artificial sweeteners on the body. Conducted on a group of 3,000 women, the results indicated that those who drank two or more artificially-sweetened beverages a day doubled their risk of more-rapid-than-normal kidney function decline.

 

The study accounted for various other risk factors including the woman's age, her blood pressure, if she smoked, and if she had any other pre-existing conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. The 11-year study evaluated the effects of all sweetened drinks on progressive kidney decline and discovered that two or more diet drinks leads to a two-fold increase in rapid kidney decline incidences.

 

Though study results did not show any correlation between sugar- or corn syrup-sweetened drinks and the onset of rapid kidney decline, these ingredients are implicated in causing diabetes and obesity and should not be perceived as safe merely because they did not have a direct correlation in this particular study topic.

 

High sodium intake was also implicated in the study as promoting progressive kidney decline. Since diet soda contains excessive amounts of sodium, higher than sugar soda, it is no surprise that diet sodas were the primary offenders in the study. However it is unclear from this particular study which ingredient plays the larger role in progressive kidney decline, the artificial sweeteners or the sodium content.

Studies on aspartame

When aspartame was first approved in the 1970s under the name "NutraSweet", studies were submitted as supposed proof that the artificial chemical was safe. The FDA initially approved the chemical in 1974 for use in a limited number of foods based upon the studies submitted by G.D. Searle Co., the company that invented aspartame.

 

Following a discovery made shortly thereafter by a research psychiatrist who found that aspartic acid, a primary ingredient in aspartame, caused holes to form in the brains of mice, the FDA decided to form its own internal task force to investigate the initial claims made by the Searle Co.

 

What the agency discovered was a series of falsified claims, compromised study results, and missing information. The claims made in favor of aspartame were so dubious and the evidence so faulty that the FDA decreed that a grand jury should investigate Searle Co.'s claims. Unfortunately, the case failed to move forward when U.S. Attorney Thomas Sullivan and Assistant U.S. Attorney William Conlon failed to initiate any legal action. Conlon was later hired by the law firm that represented Searle Co.

 

Investigation revealed that aspartame had caused tumors, seizures, brain holes, and death in many of the studies. All negative findings had been altered or scrubbed from the final reports delivered to the FDA when aspartame was first reviewed.

 

Time and time again the question over whether aspartame is safe has led to investigations that never go anywhere. Studies are continually released in support of the chemical's safety even though they fail to address the results of other studies that show it to be harmful.

Other artificial sweeteners

A study published in the January, 2008 issue of the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health revealed that the newer artificial sweetener, sucralose, alters gut microflora and inhibits the assimilation of dietary nutrients.

 

Commonly marketed as being "made from sugar", sucralose had undergone no long-term human studies to verify its safety in humans. Like aspartame, initial studies revealed negative reactions by lab animals on whom it was tested, indicating that there could be the same potential problems in humans.

 

The EU Food Commission, Canadian health officials, and the U.S. FDA all rejected the initial studies submitted by McNeil Nutritionals, the marketers of sucralose, because of the negative results. However they encouraged the company to continue researching until they "got it right". McNeil simply lowered the levels of sucralose used in their studies until an acceptable limit was found. After several tries, sucralose was finally approved.

Stevia, a safe alternative

A great many varieties of artificial sweeteners have been approved, many scandalously, despite the fact that safe, natural alternatives exist. Stevia, for instance, is a sweet herb from South America that is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar. Claiming inadequate safety research, the FDA has long refused the herb from being included on the "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) list.

 

Up until last year, all forms of stevia could only be sold as dietary supplements. The extract could not be labeled as a "sweetener" and it could not be included in any food items.

 

Once the parent companies of both Pepsi and Coca-Cola discovered how to manipulate and patent a segment of stevia, however, it suddenly became safe to use as a sweetener and is now sold on grocery store shelves in packets similar to the artificial sweeteners. The FDA reluctantly added the natural stevia extract to the GRAS list as well.

 

Stick with natural and unprocessed

When it comes to health, a person's best bet is to avoid artificial sweeteners altogether. There are plenty of preferable, safe alternatives such as stevia which will allow for a little extra sweetness without all the harmful side effects.

Tamiflu anti-viral drug revealed as complete hoax

Hi Everyone,
Today with this article by Mike Adams "The Health Ranger" comes sad news indeed. Sad that a big pharma company, namely Roche, who manufactures the drug Tamiflu should have actively and aggressively conspired to defraud the world about the effectivety of its so called wonder drug Tamiflu. Yes it was hailed as our salvationary drug after the latest pandemic outbreak of swine flu aka the H1N1 virus. Once again we find big pharma profiteering from our continued suffering through downright fraudulent behaviour, yet nothing seems to be being done to stop them.

Tamiflu anti-viral drug revealed as complete hoax; Roche studies based on scientific fraud
by Mike Adams the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) When it comes to selling chemicals that claim to treat H1N1 swine flu, the pharmaceutical industry's options are limited to two: Vaccines and anti-virals. The most popular anti-viral, by far, is Tamiflu, a drug that's actually derived from a Traditional Chinese Medicine herb called star anise.

But Tamiflu is no herb. It's a potentially fatal concentration of isolated chemical components that have essentially been bio-pirated from Chinese medicine. And when you isolate and concentrate specific chemicals in these herbs, you lose the value (and safety) of full-spectrum herbal medicine.

That didn't stop Tamiflu's maker, Roche, from trying to find a multi-billion-dollar market for its drug. In order to tap into that market, however, Roche needed to drum up some evidence that Tamiflu was both safe and effective.

Roche engages in science fraud

Roche claims there are ten studies providing Tamiflu is both safe and effective. According to the company, Tamiflu has all sorts of benefits, including a 61% reduction in hospital admissions by people who catch the flu and then get put on Tamiflu.

The problem with these claims is that they aren't true. They were simply invented by Roche.

A groundbreaking article recently published in the British Medical Journal accuses Roche of misleading governments and physicians over the benefits of Tamiflu. Out of the ten studies cited by Roche, it turns out, only two were ever published in science journals. And where is the original data from those two studies? Lost.

The data has disappeared. Files were discarded. The researcher of one study says he never even saw the data. Roche took care of all that, he explains.

So the Cochrane Collaboration, tasked with reviewing the data behind Tamiflu, decided to investigate. After repeated requests to Roche for the original study data, they remained stonewalled. The only complete data set they received was from an unpublished study of 1,447 adults which showed that Tamiflu was no better than placebo. Data from the studies that claimed Tamiflu was effective was apparently lost forever.

As The Atlantic reports, that's when former employees of Adis International (essentially a Big Pharma P.R. company) shocked the medical world by announcing they had been hired to ghost-write the studies for Roche.

It gets even better: These researchers were told what to write by Roche!

As one of these ghostwriters told the British Medical Journal:

"The Tamiflu accounts had a list of key messages that you had to get in. It was run by the [Roche] marketing department and you were answerable to them. In the introduction ...I had to say what a big problem influenza is. I'd also have to come to the conclusion that Tamiflu was the answer."

In other words, the Roche marketing department ran the science and told researchers what conclusions to draw from the clinical trials. Researchers hired to conduct the science were controlled by the marketing puppeteers. No matter what they found in the science, they had already been directed to reach to conclusion that "Tamiflu was the answer."

Now, I don't know about you, but where I come from, we call this "science fraud." And as numerous NaturalNews investigations have revealed, this appears to be the status quo in the pharmaceutical industry.

Virtually none of the "science" conducted by drug companies can be trusted at all because it really isn't science in the first place. It's just propaganda being dressed up to look like science.

Sadly, even the CDC has been fooled by this clinical trial con. As stated by author Shannon Brownlee in The Atlantic:

"...the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appears to be operating in some alternative universe, where valid science no longer matters to public policy. The agency's flu recommendations are in lockstep with Roche's claims that the drug can be life-saving -- despite the FDA's findings and despite the lack of studies to prove such a claim. What's more, neither the CDC nor the FDA has demanded the types of scientific studies that could definitively determine whether or not the company's claims are true: that Tamiflu reduces the risk of serious complications and saves lives. Nancy Cox, who heads the CDC's flu program, told us earlier this year she opposes a placebo-controlled study (in which one half of patients would be given Tamiflu and the other half would be given placebo), because the drug's benefits are already proven."

Did you catch that last line? The CDC isn't interested in testing Tamiflu because "the drug's benefits are already proven." Except they aren't. But this is how the pharmaceutical industry operates:

Step 1) Fabricate evidence that your drug works.
Step 2) Use that fraudulent evidence to get your drug approved.
Step 3) Use fear to create consumer demand for your drug (and encourage governments to stockpile it).
Step 4) Avoid any actual scientific testing by claiming the drug has already been proven to work (and cite your original fraudulent studies to back you up).

This is the recipe the CDC is following right now with Tamiflu. It's a recipe of scientific stupidity and circular logic, of course, but that seems to be strangely common in the medical community these days.


Even the FDA says Tamiflu doesn't work

The FDA, remarkably, hasn't entirely given in to the Tamiflu hoax. They required Roche to print the following disclaimer on Tamiflu lables -- a disclaimer that openly admits the drug has never been proven to work:

"Tamiflu has not been proven to have a positive impact on the potential consequences (such as hospitalizations, mortality, or economic impact) of seasonal, avian, or pandemic influenza."

Even further, an FDA spokesperson told the British Medical Journal, "The clinical trials... failed to demonstrate any significant difference in rates of hospitalization, complications, or mortality in patients receiving either Tamiflu or placebo."

It's the same message over and over again, like a broken record: Tamiflu doesn't work. And the "science" that says Tamiflu does work was all apparently fabricated from the start.


The Tamiflu stockpiling scandal
Junk science, though, is good enough for the U.S. government. Based on little more than fabricated evidence and Big Pharma propaganda, the U.S. government has spent $1.5 billion stockpiling Tamiflu. This turned out to be a great deal for Roche, but a poor investment for U.S. citizens who ended up spending huge dollars for a medicine that doesn't work.

As is stated in the Atlantic:

"Governments, public health agencies, and international bodies such as the World Health Organization, have all based their decisions to recommend and stockpile Tamiflu on studies that had seemed independent, but had in fact been funded by the company and were authored almost entirely by Roche employees or paid academic consultants."

Even if Tamiflu did work, there are Tamiflu-resistant strains of H1N1 are now circulating (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ca...).

The upshot of all this is that governments around the world are flushing billions of dollars down the drain stockpiling a drug that doesn't work -- a drug promoted via propaganda and scientific fraud.

This isn't the first time your government has wasted taxpayer dollars, of course (it seems to be what the U.S. government does best), but this example is especially concerning given that this was all done with the excuse that natural remedies are useless and only vaccines and Tamiflu can protect you from a viral pandemic.

But as it turns out, vaccines and Tamiflu are useless and only natural remedies really work. That's why so many informed people around the world have been stocking up on vitamin D, garlic, anti-viral tinctures and superfoods to protect themselves from a potential pandemic that most world governments remain clueless to prevent.

I find it fascinating that the governments of the world are stockpiling medicines that DON'T work, while the natural health people of the world are stockpiling natural remedies that DO work. If a real pandemic ever strikes our world, there's no question who the survivors will be (hint: it won't be the clueless chaps standing in line waiting for their Tamiflu pills...).

Which remedies really do work to boost immune function and protect the body from infectious disease? I've actually published a special report revealing my top five recommended remedies: http://www.naturalnews.com/

In addition to the remedies mentioned in that report, I also recommend high-dose vitamin D as well as the Viral Defense product from http://www.plantcures.com/

I have no financial ties to any of the companies whose products are recommended here, by the way. Unlike the pharmaceutical industry, I don't operate purely for profit. My job is to get valuable information out to the People -- information that can help save lives and reduce suffering. This is the job the FDA and CDC should be doing but have long since abandoned in their betrayal of the American people.

A Lot Of Things Have Changed For Our Mentor Since She Began Her Online Business

Hi Everyone,
I would really love to take each and every reader of this blog by the hand and guide them to a utopian world, where Internet Marketing was made simple for all to understand. Unfortunately I can't. What I can do however is to allow our mentor Kathleen Gage, an Internet Marketing expert, a platform, a way to reach out to help others, and all for free. OK you ask, what's the catch, quite simply there isn't one. Kathleen is running a free teleseminar on the 17th December 2009. Places as always are going to be at a premium. TC4Women was mentored by Kathleen way back in 2006, and continues to this day to be our inspiration.

Things Have Changed a lot Since I Began My Online Business
by Kathleen Gage

When I began my journey into the world of Internet marketing in the late 90's, things were very different than they are today. Back then, there was very little competition, the methods we used were very archaic compared to today's "slick" methods, and you actually looked forward to receiving emails announcing something.

Today, most of us are so overwhelmed that to have a day when we don't get a bunch of "junk" mail is a glorious day. Everyday there is the next great idea, next "must attend" event and next "have to read" ebook or report.

Sadly, for many people trying to market online, they are simply going for numbers. They seem to have forgotten there is a real person behind the email address they are sending something to. The fact is, things have become so dang impersonal.

You and I both know we are inundated with a bunch of junk every single day. People copy what others are doing, thinking this is the formula for success.

The true formula for success is to learn from those who are succeeding (have successful mentors) but to not lose sight of your own personality.
It isn't just a matter of slamming people with a message and the rest takes care of itself. You have to take care of the end user. You have to continually create incredible value and others have to know you are doing what you are doing for more than simply making a sale.

Those of us who know that are those who continue to sustain a meaningful business year after year.

Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to build a very successful online business. Over the years, I have also met lots of people who want to do the same, but are not willing to put in the effort to do so. I can tell you, it take time, effort and yes, money, to build your business. Some people just aren't willing to invest any of this.

If that describes you, you may as well quit reading this because the rest of this message is for those people who know that building a business online is similar to building a business offline. You have to bring quality to your market. It's NOT a matter of throwing something together and you suddenly make a bunch of money. It is a matter of bringing something of value to your market.

If you are interested in knowing the ins and outs of building a successful online business and how to gain lots of visibility with your market, join me on Thursday for a FR*EE teleseminar on how this is done.

Thursday, December 17th
3 – 4 p.m. PST
http://www.streetsmartsmarketing.com/Freevisability.htm

If you are someone who deeply believes in what you do and you know you could do more of what you are meant to do with the right kind of visibility, this call is for you.

Are you still singing 'The Economy is Slow' Blues?

Hi Everyone,
Once again we congratulate Kathleen for this excellent article. Everyone seems to be blaming the poor economic climate for their own failures, whilst surprisingly some business's are actually still thriving in spite of it. Did these successful management teams sit and procrastinate over a poor economy or did they simply get on with creating wealth for their company and shareholders. Kathleen's article today will no doubt expand upon this notion so here's Kathleen herself to explain further.....

Are you still singing 'The Economy is Slow' Blues?
by Kathleen Gage

Over the last few days I have had several conversations with friends and clients about their businesses.

Many are thrilled with the fact business is picking up while others immediately go into, "The economy is still slow. That's why my business isn't picking up."

For some, The Economy is Slow song may be one they have been singing for so long they don't even realize how often they might be affirming this way of thinking.

The fact is, in many industries things are picking up. For some of us, we never felt a dip at all in the last year. Actually, there are some entrepreneurs who have had an increase in business rather than a decrease in 2009. How is this possible? Read on.

During a recent conversation one friend said, "I know you don't like to admit it, but the economy is slow."

My response? "I'm not going to have this conversation. I'm not going to engage any energy in that train of thought."

We both laughed at my response (because she has heard the same response numerous times from me) and started in on another topic of conversation.


Is my refusal to engage in conversations about a slow economy denial or is it smart? It depends on who you ask. Believe me, there have been plenty of people are eager to "show me the error of my thinking."

The fact is, my business has not felt a dip at all in the last year. Even during a time that I needed to take almost two months to attend to some personal concerns in our family. During the two month period I was working about 20% of my usual schedule. My priorities were with family, yet, my business continued to generate revenue.

Was it luck? Hardly.

I am a very firm believer (actually a firm knower) in the fact that what we focus on we get more of. It has been said, "Where our attention goes, energy flows."

Rather than invest time and energy talking about how slow things are and asking why this is so, I choose to ask different questions.

Amazingly, others I have talked to who have not had a downturn in their revenues are also asking different questions. Here is just a sampling.

"How can I continue to create massive value for my clients and customers?"
"What do I need to change in my business to keep up with changes occurring for my clients?

"What do I need to do to grow my business?"

"Am I being as productive as I need to be to grow my business?"

"Have I done all I can to keep my name in the forefront of current and potential clients?"

This truly is how my mind works. I ask questions that create a more resourceful state as do many people who continue to do well in their business.

I can assure you, these questions WILL put you in a much more resourceful state than, "Shoot, why is the economy so slow?"

The temptation for some is to do what comes naturally for so many. Rather than looking for solutions, they look for reasons why something isn't working. Amazingly, many don't even realize they are doing this.

I can just hear some people saying, "You don't understand. In my industry." Stop! Quit defending this worn out position.

I will be the first to admit there are things that have impacted the economy, but I also know that some people have thrived during the last year due to asking better questions. They have also thrived by surrounding themselves with colleagues, mentors and information that helps them continue to grow.

So which will it be? Will you be one who continues to affirm how slow things are? Or.. will you be one to ask, "What can I do to be of more value to my customers?"

If you are asking the more resourceful question, the next step is to get into action with a plan, vision, and implementation.

Find Your True Work After Fifty

Hi Everyone,
There are certain jobs or should I say careers, where ageism is such an asset. Take for example antique furniture restoration, now would you trust your valued antique to some young wiper-snapper fresh from college, no matter how skilled he may be. Yet you'd gladly trust some old guy working in some run down ancient workshop, just because he actually looked the part, even though old Joe might have only been doing restoration work for a few years as a hobby. He looks the part. Age and maturity matters sometimes. With this in mind our guest article writer is Tomar Levine, a late bloomer who also needed ageism to really achieve her true work in life, and only after she was over fifty. Over fifty is certainly not over the hill...Please do read on.....

Find Your True Work After Fifty
by Tomar Levine

I'm a late bloomer. It sometimes seems I've lived my life backwards. I like to say I took an early retirement (minimal employment and lots of leisure), and now that I'm of retirement age, I'm fired up and cracking to start working.

I mean really working, working at my true work, the work I was meant to do.

What took me so long? Well, for one thing, any original work that blends multiple gifts, life experience, and acquired wisdom, must take time to ripen. It's not available to young sprouts or saplings, but only comes to fruit on a mature tree.

In addition, there are no role models or career counsellors to point us in the direction of our unique work. So I had to wait to evolve and develop before I was ready to discover it for myself.

In Order to Go Forward I Had to Let Things Go

But there were other things that stood in my way as well. I had to stop letting myself be stopped by my self-doubts, insecurities, and fears, by my shyness and introversion, and my fear of competing. I had to give up the fantasy that someone would discover me and, leading me by the hand, present me to the world. (In other words, I had to stop waiting to be rescued.) I had to learn to assert myself, to ask for the attention I want, and the help I need. And I had to notice my tendency to compare myself to others, always finding myself lacking - and challenge that persistent habit.

Another thing I had to question was my resentment. For a long time part of me has been on sit-down strike out of bitterness at not having my "greatness" recognized. I had to stop demanding the perfect conditions before I would fully show up, stop withholding myself from the world until all my requirements were met. For instance, I had to stop waiting for the world to make reparations for my childhood, stop waiting for my childhood tormentors to come, individually and as a group, kneel down before me, and beg for forgiveness. I had to stop waiting for all my wounds to be healed, stop expecting to become the improved, competent, resilient person I thought I needed to be (the life of the party, super-organized and great at self-promotion). And I had to stop waiting for my inner critic to lavish me with praise and tell me I was ready.

It's Now or Never

I had to recognize my unique, mortal life and decide not to waste it - no matter how unready I felt, no matter how many courses, trainings, and advanced degrees I thought I might still need, to put the finishing touches on my masterpiece of self. Ready or not - age 50 plus - I had to decide to jump. I had to decide that this time, no matter how scared I was, I wouldn't give up.

Mainly, I had to decide that the ache in my soul I'd felt since as long as I could remember, the urge to bring something forth, the longing to express, to create, and to let my light shine, could be put off no longer. The pregnancy of my soul was way overdue.

I had to take seriously that urge of my soul and not keep putting it off until after I'd finished answering my email, doing the laundry, or googling the latest creative genius, especially the one who had just died, acclaimed by the world.

And I had to stop playing eeny-meeny-miney-mo with all the possible directions I could imagine exploring in my remaining time on earth. I had to stop calculating the most practical steps, the most lucrative careers, the roles most favored and approved by my friends and peer group, or sanctioned by society.

I'm Not a Bad Duck

I had to stop trying to fit into someone else's idea, stop trying to conform and be a good duck. I have often felt like the ugly duckling; I've tried again and again to be a better duck - and failed. In studying any new field, attempting to model myself after those who set the standard, I've been "inducted" again and again into the trance of duck-dom, trying to imitate what I saw rather than follow my own inner sense. It was time for me to acknowledge that I wasn't meant to be a duck, that I wasn't actually a bad duck at all, but a bird of a different feather! All I have to do is pay attention to myself, look inward instead of out for my direction.

I had to acknowledge that no matter how many paths not taken I might mourn on my deathbed, none could possibly match the grief I would feel if I were to die without ever having followed my own path, without having taken the risk of following my own soul's star wherever it might lead. Whether it led to a barren desert or the flowing waters of Eden I would never know if I didn't take that chance.

So, at age fifty-plus, I have decided it is not too late to grow up, to bear fruit, to take the risks I've feared, to be a swan and take flight. Fortunately, the soul is not subject to the same limits as the body. The soul can stay pregnant for a lifetime and yet give birth to a vibrant child - so long as there is time. The work we are born to do, the true work that is ours alone, and which the world will never know if we do not do it - that potential stays as fresh in our souls as the seeds buried in Egyptian tombs that saw daylight and sprouted after thousands of years. Fortunately, we do not have to wait quite that long. We only have to wait as long as it takes us to say, "I am waiting no more."
How about You?

And you, dear reader: Have you ever struggled with trying to be a better duck, but just couldn't make a go of it? Did you ever realize you didn't want to be a duck after all? That duck-dom was not what you were born for, not your true calling?

And now how is it for you? Do you ever feel that your soul is pregnant with something you are waiting to give birth to? And if so, how long do you want to wait? How long will you wait? Does it feel about due? Would you care to join me and walk into the birthing waters together?

An Often Overlooked Step in Information Product Development

Hi Everyone,
Remember Kathleen Gage, Internet Marketing Expert and our esteemed mentor. Here is another great informative article she'd like to share with you all. Her free teleseminar date is fast approaching, and available places are filling up as I write. Now these seminars of Kathleen's are awesome and not to be missed, they are crammed full of both useful and easily doable information. Kathleen also specializes in, no or low cost techniques in her marketing strategies. Strategies I might add that TC4Women.com have continued to impliment to this day. So without further ado here's Kathleen....

An Often Overlooked Step in Information Product Development
by Kathleen Gage

Many experts enhance their product offerings with high quality services. Regardless of what you make available to your market, you need to take one very important step.

Before you invest time, money or effort into product development make sure you understand the needs of your market. You must have enough information to address these needs. The more you know the more focused you will be on what solutions you create by way of products and services.

Pay attention to what your customers/clients are asking for. You can determine what your market wants by studying your own market, studying your competitors' products and services and what your competitors' customers are buying; and.. by asking.


The more you know, the more targeted your approach to development and delivery of products and services; this equates to higher revenues and higher profit margins.

A well constructed survey will reveal a great deal. There are several types of surveys you can use. Here are just a few; multiple choice, yes/no, open ended questions, one question surveys, and opinion based surveys (to name just a few). You can conduct a "name required" survey or one that is completely anonymous.

Often, respondents will be more frank and honest with the anonymous survey; people tend to not hold back if they are not identified.

The greatest benefit of surveys is that you know what to do before investing a lot of time or money developing products and services that may not be what your market wants or is willing to pay for.

Survey results give you fodder for articles, media releases, blog postings, and products and services based on what your market wants.

Unfortunately, many professionals spend incredible amounts of time in development based on what they THINK the market wants rather than what they DO want. Survey, survey, survey. This is the magic word.

What is your markets most challenging problems, their pain points; what drives them?

Knowing what is "hot" at any given time is simply a matter of researching your market.

Find out what motivates your prospects. For some it will be a high sense of values, for others it will be money, or status, or love. There are universal drives that are common to humans, and we all prefer one or two of them over others. If you're not familiar with these, do some self-assessments on yourself to discover what your own preferences are. That will make it easier for you to identify and understand motivators in others.

Burn Fat Faster With These 2 Magic Substances

Hi Everyone,
Today's guest article is from Rob Poulos who really knows a thing or two about burning fat, you can claim his free ebook by following the link below, but first please read on....

In all of my experimentation and research on the subject of nutrition for fast fat burning, health and fitness over the last 10+ years, I've discovered 2 magical substances that can have a dramatic effect on whether or not you burn body fat and keep it off, or hang on to it like a security blanket.

These substances, in fact, have been around since the beginning of time and I'm surprised more people don't value their importance like they should. What are these magical agents of fat burning wizardry?

Water and Fibre. Let me explain why

Everyone has heard that water is important for health, but even still, most people don't drink enough water. Water is also vital to your fat burning efforts and maintaining a lean body.

After all, our bodies are about 65-70% water. Water also keeps you from snacking on unhealthy sugary foods and sugar laden soft drinks, as many times when we feel we are hungry, we are actually just dehydrated.

We need water in our bodies more than we need food. The body can survive for much longer without food that without water. Water is like the oil in the engines of our cars. It is involved in almost every process the body goes through, from digestion to nutrient absorption. It also keeps your energy level up as it prevents dehydration.

Now, this is very important" dehydration will totally kill your chances of burning fat, because the body interprets this as a state of shock. It shifts its focus on getting water and stops doing other things, like burning body fat for energy. And here's even more helpful info about the power of water.

Try this little trick to burn even more calories" try and drink most if not all of your water in ice cold form. First of all, it typically tastes better ice cold, and every time you drink an ounce of ice cold water, your body must burn about a calorie in the process of warming the water to your current body temperature. Now, you can use this to your advantage to burn even more calories each day. Keep your water intake to 100 ounces per day, and you'll burn an extra 100 calories and burn more fat!

How cool is that!

Also, add some lemon to your water this will have positive effects in helping cleanse your liver, and this brings up another key to fat loss the body needs to be working efficiently if you
want to burn fat fast" if your organs, especially the kidneys and liver, are working together in high efficiency, you will find it easier to burn fat!

So keeping yourself hydrated will keep your kidneys operating at a good clip, and your liver will be allowed to do its job of metabolizing stored fat for energy. The other magical substance is Fibre. Fibre slows digestion and makes you feel fuller.This is so important in burning fat and reducing cravings, especially for foods loaded with sugar, and how many calories you end up eating throughout the day, which leads to fat loss.

Great sources of fibre include various whole grain products, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and beans. These, by the way, are foods that are also rich in other nutrients your body craves naturally surprise! Processed foods, however, are poor sources of fibre. White flour products including regular pasta is in this category. Also, watch out for high fibre cereals as many of these are also high in sugar.

On top of the fat burning benefits, fibre has been linked to the prevention of various conditions including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. That's a one-two health punch to be reckoned with!

So I urge you to put water and fibre at the top of your list of things to put in your body. If you combine that focus with a diet of nutrient rich foods and a properly conducted resistance exercise program, you'll be on your way to burning more fat faster, and maximizing your genetic potential for a lean, strong, and healthy body.

My Fat Burning Furnace students are already doing this, and are enjoying all the rewards this lifestyle brings. Now, it's your turn to get the most you can out of life and burn fat faster than you might have thought possible.

How To Burn Fat Faster by using These 3 Vital Principals

Hi Everyone,
By now, most people realize that adding lean muscle mass to your body does wonders for your metabolism and fat loss, as well as a host of other benefits that allow you to live out your life as healthy as possible.

Unfortunately, most people I see performing weight training or resistance training at the gym are spending too much time with the exercise and not working hard enough. They're not going to burn very much fat this way.

The secret I've found is that training for lean muscle and strength requires the proper application of three vital elements that are often ignored by those who attempt it. Those three elements are:

-Intensity

-Volume & Frequency

-Progression

The intensity is how hard it is to perform for you, given your current condition. The volume and frequency are how much and how often you perform the exercise. The progression is related to how much the demands increase from workout to workout.

Most times, weight training, is carried on for too long and performed too many times per week. It is unfortunately treated much the same way as so-called fat burning aerobic exercise. But they are vastly different forms of exercise. In fact, they're complete opposites.

Aerobic exercise typically is characterized by low to moderate intensity, high volume and frequency, and little progression. Anaerobic exercise, or weight training, must be performed at a high intensity, lower volume and frequency, and with progression to be as effective as possible.

No amount of weight training performed at a low or moderate intensity will provide significant muscle or strength building benefit beyond the first few weeks. On a high level view, it is simply the combination of sufficient intensity, coupled with attempting to increase either the number of repetitions of a weight training exercise or the amount of weight used each and every workout that will keep your body evolving into the ultimate fat burning machine!

You also have to pay attention to other details when creating an effective and efficient routine to maximize your workout and minimize your time spent in the gym. Why? Because perhaps even more important that the workout itself is the rest period that follows. You're not going to get stronger or more muscular if you don't rest.

You see, when you strength train properly, you are creating tiny injuries to your muscles. You then have to let the body repair itself, and then overcompensate and build upon the already existing amount of muscle mass you have. If you workout again before that process in completed, you'll experience lacklustre, if any, muscle building or fat burning results.

So make sure to get proper rest between workouts, which typically means a minimum of 1 to 3 full days of rest between properly executed resistance workouts.

Now upon hearing the idea that you've got add muscle to your body to ensure the maximum fat burning environment, a lot of people, women especially, start thinking, "But I don't want to get bigger, I want to lose weight!" But this is such a shame, because it's very unlikely to happen, and countless women are losing out on these fat burning benefits because of it.

You see, most men and almost all women simply lack the necessary genetic traits required to produce such muscle gains that would cause them to look bulky or overly-developed to most people. These traits include testosterone levels, muscle fibre makeup, muscle belly length, and others.

Those competitive bodybuilders you've seen on TV and in the magazines are the genetic cream of the crop for muscle development and they are typically on heavy doses of anabolic steroids, growth hormone, and other bodybuilding drugs. Don't be fooled by these images, or those that scare you into thinking this way. Also, lean muscle is more compact that fat, as it takes up less space in your body, so you will actually be getting smaller when replacing the fat on your body with lean muscle.

Please understand that you're putting yourself in the best position to succeed with your fat loss and fitness goals when you perform properly conducted intense resistance training, no matter who you are.

But make sure you understand and apply the three critical principles I discussed above. If you don't, you'll ultimately be unhappy with your results, both in your ability to burn fat and realize the lean, strong, and healthy body you deserve.

My Top 55 Lean-Body Foods to Build Muscle and Lose Body Fat

Hi Everyone,
Did you know that there are many foods that actually help you develop a trim and fit body? Did you know that most, if not all of these foods are readily available at your local grocery store or well stocked supermarket. Did you know that the first steps to getting fit is through a healthy diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and lean meats. You may pay a little extra for these fresh products, but their nutritional and fat burning benefits outweigh their cost anytime. Today's guest article is from Mike Geary a well known Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

My Top 55 Lean-Body Foods to Build Muscle and Lose Body Fat
by Michael Geary

In many of my previous articles, I like to provide a healthy snack or meal recipe that not only is delicious and healthy, but also helps to get you closer to that hard-body appearance that everyone is looking for, while also more importantly, improving your health for life. In this article, I'd like to give you healthy food ideas in a different way. This time, I figured I'd just give you some ideas of what I stock my fridge and cabinets with.

Remember, if you don't have junk around the house, you're less likely to eat junk. If all you have is healthy food around the house, you're forced to make smart choices. Basically, it all starts with making smart choices and avoiding temptations when you make your grocery store trip. Now these are just some of my personal preferences, but perhaps they will give you some good ideas that you'll enjoy.

Alright, so let's start with the fridge.

Each week, I try to make sure I'm loaded up with lots of varieties of fresh vegetables.During the growing season, I only get local produce, but obviously in winter, I have to resort to the produce at the grocery store. Most of the time, I make sure I have plenty of vegetables like onions, zucchini, spinach, fresh mushrooms, red peppers, broccoli, etc. to use in my morning eggs. I also like to dice up some lean chicken or turkey sausage into the eggs, along with some Swiss, jack, or goat cheeses (preferably raw grass-fed cheeses when I can find them).

By the way I'm talking about whole eggs, NOT egg whites. Always remember that the yolk is the most nutritious and nutrient dense part of the egg, so only eating egg whites is like throwing away the best part... and no, it's NOT bad for you because of the cholesterol... eggs actually raise your GOOD cholesterol. Try to get free range organic eggs for the best quality.

Coconut milk is another staple in my fridge. I like to use it to mix in with smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt for a rich, creamy taste. Not only does coconut milk add a rich, creamy taste to lots of dishes, but it's also full of healthy saturated fats. Yeah, you heard me...I said healthy saturated fats! Healthy saturated fats like medium chain triglycerides, specifically an MCT called lauric acid. If the idea of healthy saturated fats is foreign to you,

Back to the fridge, some other staples:

* Chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds - delicious and great sources of healthy fats.

* Cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and yogurt - I like to mix cottage or ricotta cheese and yogurt together with chopped nuts and berries for a great mid-morning or mid-afternoon meal.

* Whole flax seeds or chia seeds - I grind these in a mini coffee grinder and add to yogurt or salads. Always grind them fresh because the omega-3 polyunsaturated fats are highly unstable and prone to oxidation, creating high levels of free radicals in pre-ground flax.

* Whole eggs - one of natures richest sources of nutrients (and remember, they increase your GOOD cholesterol so stop fearing them).

* Salsa - I try to get creative and try some of the exotic varieties of salsas.

* Avocados - love them...plus a great source of healthy fats, fibre, and other nutrients. Try adding them to wraps, salads, or sandwiches.

* Butter - don't believe the naysayers; butter adds great flavour to anything and can be part of a healthy diet (just keep the quantity small because it is calorie dense...and NEVER use margarine, unless you want to assure yourself a heart attack).

* Nut butters - Plain old peanut butter has gotten a little old for me, so I get creative and mix together almond butter with sesame seed butter, or even cashew butter with macadamia butter...delicious and unbeatable nutrition!

* Leaf lettuce and spinach along with shredded carrots - for salads with dinner.

* Home-made salad dressing - using balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and Udo's Choice oil blend. This is much better than store bought salad dressing which mostly use highly refined soybean oil (full of inflammation-causing free radicals).

* Whole grain wraps and whole grain bread (look for wraps and bread with at least 3-4 grams of fibre per 20 grams of total carbs).

* Rice bran and wheat germ - these may sound way too healthy for some, but they actually add a nice little nutty, crunchy taste to yogurt or smoothies, or can be added when baking muffins or breads to add nutrients and fibre.

Some of the staples in the freezer:

* Frozen berries - during the local growing season, I only get fresh berries, but during the other 10 months of the year, I always keep a supply of frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, cherries, etc. to add to high fibre cereal, oatmeal, cottage cheese, yogurt, or smoothies

* Frozen fish - I like to try a couple different kinds of fish each week. There are so many varieties out there, you never have to get bored.

* Frozen chicken breasts - very convenient for a quick addition to wraps or chicken sandwiches for quick meals.

* Grass-fed steaks, burgers, and ground beef - Grass-fed meats have been shown to have as high as, or even higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids than salmon (without the mercury). Also, grass-fed meats have much higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) compared to typical grain-fed beef. I recently found an excellent on-line store where I buy all of my grass-fed meats now (they even deliver right to your door in a sealed cooler)

* Frozen buffalo, ostrich, venison, and other "exotic" lean meats - Yeah, I know...I'm weird, but I can tell you that these are some of the healthiest meats around, and if you're serious about a lean healthy body, these types of meats are much better for you than the mass produced, hormone-pumped beef and pork that's sold at most grocery stores.

* Frozen veggies - again, when the growing season is over and I can no longer get local fresh produce, frozen veggies are the best option, since they often have higher nutrient contents compared to the fresh produce that has been shipped thousands of miles, sitting around for weeks before making it to your dinner table.

Alright, now the staples in my cabinets:

* Various antioxidant rich teas - green, oolong, white, rooibos are some of the best.

* Whole wheat or whole grain spelt pasta - much higher fibre than normal pastas

* Oat bran and steel cut oats - higher fibre than those little packs of instant oats.

* Cans of coconut milk - to be transferred to a container in the fridge after opening.

* Brown rice and other higher fibre rice - NEVER white rice

* Tomato sauces - delicious, and as I'm sure you've heard a million times, they are a great source of lycopene. Just watch out for the brands that are loaded with nasty high fructose corn syrup.

* Stevia - a natural non-caloric sweetener, which is an excellent alternative to the nasty chemical-laden artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharine, and sucralose.

* Raw honey - better than processed honey... higher quantities of beneficial nutrients and enzymes. Honey has even been proven in studies to improve glucose metabolism (how you process carbs). I use a teaspoon or so every morning in my teas. Yes, it is pure sugar, but at least it has some nutritional benefits... and let's be real, a teaspoon of healthier raw honey is only 5 grams of carbs... certainly nothing to worry about.

* Organic maple syrup - none of that high fructose corn syrup Aunt Jemima crap...only real maple syrup can be considered real food. The only time I really use this (because of the high sugar load) is added to my post-workout smoothies to sweeten things up and also elicit an insulin surge to push nutrients into your muscles.

* Organic unsweetened cocoa powder - I like to mix this into my smoothies for an extra jolt of antioxidants or make my own low-sugar hot cocoa by mixing cocoa powder into hot milk with stevia and a couple melted dark chocolate chunks.

* Cans of black or kidney beans - I like to add a couple scoops to my Mexican wraps for the fibre and high nutrition content. Also, beans are surprisingly one of the best sources of youth promoting antioxidants!

* Dark chocolate (as dark as possible) - This is one of my treats that satisfies my sweet tooth, plus provides loads of antioxidants at the same time. It's still calorie dense, so I keep it to just a couple squares; but that is enough to do the trick, so I don't feel like I need to go out and get cake and ice cream to satisfy my dessert urges.

Lastly, another thing that's hard to go wrong with is a good variety of fresh fruits and berries. The staples such as bananas, apples, oranges, pears, peaches are good, but I like to also be a little more adventurous and include things like yellow (aka - mexican or champagne) mangoes, pomegranates, kumquats, papaya, star fruit, pineapples, and others. Also, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries are some of the most nutrient and antioxidant-dense fruits you can eat.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this special look into my favourite lean body meals and how I stock my cabinets and fridge. Your tastes are probably quite different than mine, but hopefully this gave you some good ideas you can use next time you're at the grocery store looking to stock up a healthy and delicious pile of groceries.
