The End of Bulking How to gain muscle without losing Fat – Maybe the only thing worse than never having seen your abs
is having great abs and then losing them…And it happens all the time. As challenging as it is to carve out a six pack, many people do eventually achieve that goal. Then, satisfied with their level of leanness, they decide it’s time to shift gears and start adding some muscle. That’s when it (abdominal definition) all starts going downhill. You see, most people don’t know how to gain muscle without gaining back the body fat along with it.

  • 13 NEW fat loss research discoveries from scientists at the National Instutite of Health and how you can use them to lose more fat without losing muscle
  • Why over people have totally different physiologies than lean people or even people with “average” body fat… and why you MUST adjust your nutrition according to your current body fat level
  • The New Rules of Cutting Calories: if you’re still cutting “500 calories a day to lose 1 pound per week” or cutting “1000 calories per day to lose 2 pounds per week” you might be completely sabotaging yourself .. find out why!

50 Body-Sabotaging Mistakes – Inside this FREE report , you’ll discover:

  • The short-cut to bypassing weeks, months or even years or frustratingly slow progress and reach your fat loss, muscle-building or body-shaping goals faster than you ever thought possible
  • Other people have already cracked the code on body transformation… see how you can easily “copy and paste” the mental and physical success strategies of those who already succeeded (why re-invent the wheel?)

Detox Diets For a Healthier Lifestyle

Detox diets are designed to flush out poisons and contaminates from your body in a healthy and gentle manner.

Many use a detoxifying diet plan to begin a loss regime and some use the plan periodically to maintain health and vigor. Detox diets should not be thought of as fads they’ve been used for centuries in a belief that they promote a healthier and longer life.

What Is A Detox Diet?

A detox diet is restrictive, allowing only fresh and natural foods that are fibrous and that will help your immune system and those filtering organs like the kidneys and liver to work properly.

types of detox diets

There are detox diet plans for everyone, including the following:

  • Clean Diet-This detox diet plan lasts for 21 days and is especially designed for those who enjoy a bustling lifestyle.
  • Raw Food Only -Those choosing this diet plan are only allowed to consume raw and uncooked food.
  • Super Cleanse -Dieters can choose from several unique plans designed for cleansing the body, including juice fasts and vegetarian plans.
  • Weight Loss Cure -This diet plan uses cleansing techniques as a way to begin a loss program.
  • Martha’s Vineyard Detox Diet — Strictly a plan to lose -up to 21 pounds in 21 days.
  • Swiss Secret -A detox plan to improve health as well as help you to lose weight.
  • Fruit Flush -A 3-day plan to flush out your system and get you on the track to losing unwanted pounds.

Most of the detox diets you’ll find advocate drinking at least 2 liters of water per day, ingesting various herbs that help the detoxifying process (milk thistle, Psyllium seed and Licorice root, for example), avoiding food and drink that are processed or were grown using pesticides and fungicides and eating lots of organic vegetables, fruit and unprocessed foods such as seeds and grains. You’ll also be asked to avoid caffeine, smoking and certain drugs or vitamin supplements.

Our lifestyles and environmental issues today simply beg for a detoxifying diet plan to keep our bodies healthy and rid them of the harmful chemicals, toxins, pollution and other elements that contaminate our lives. In the past, we often thought that “detox” meant a treatment for dependence on drugs or alcohol, but now we know that detoxifying our systems is a method that we can use periodically to keep our bodies working properly so that we can enjoy health and longevity.

There are many detox diets available and you can find an abundance of information about them online. Research the various detox methods and decide which is best for your lifestyle and that will help you achieve your goals.

Popular Herbal Weight Loss Supplements – Dangerous or Safe?

I found this list of some common supplements used in weight loss from the Blue Cross of of Massachusetts. This list even includes some warnings where needed:

Chromium Supplement

chromiumThis mineral, found in tiny amounts in almost all foods, helps the body burn fat, build muscle, and control blood sugar. A little chromium is essential to good health, but does that mean extra chromium must be extra healthy?

Supplement marketers and manufacturers claim that chromium pills are a shortcut to the perfect body, but the benefits are far from certain. For one thing, chromium is a nutrient and not a drug, which means it can only help people who don’t get enough chromium in their diet.

And while a few studies have found that chromium supplements apparently lead to small gains in muscle and modest weight loss (as in roughly 2 pounds of fat lost per month), several recent studies have found no such effects.

Richard A. Anderson, lead scientist at the United States Department Of Agriculture’s Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, has studied chromium supplements in many contexts over the last 20 years, and he’s never seen the supplements change a person’s body weight.

Dr. Anderson summed up his opinion of the supplements in the September, 1998, issue of the journal Nutrition Reviews: “Chromium is only a small part of the puzzle in weight loss and body composition, and its effects, if present, will be small compared with those of exercise and a well-balanced diet.”

Ephedra

Watch out for this one. The Food and Drug Administration has warned that this potentially hazardous herb is the key ingredient in so-called “natural” herbal alternatives to the now-banned prescription anti-obesity drug known as “fen-phen.” The agency considers “herbal fen-phen” products to be unapproved drugs that have not been proven safe or effective — and that contain ingredients linked to numerous injuries.

Ephedra is the natural source of the amphetamine-like stimulant ephedrine. Its key ingredient can act as a powerful decongestant, suppress appetite, and speed the burning of fat, but in diet pills the dangers of ephedra far outweigh the benefits.

Over the last few years, the Food and Drug Administration has logged 1,000 serious reactions that may be linked to ephedra, including 38 deaths. The reactions included soaring blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, insomnia, tremors, seizures, heart attack, and stroke.

Experts advise against using any weight-loss products that contain the herb. If you do, check the labels to make sure you don’t get more than 8 milligrams of the drug ephedrine in any 6 hour period, and don’t take any ephedra product for more than a week.

You should avoid ephedra completely if you have hypertension, heart trouble, kidney disease, neurologic disorders, diabetes, or an overactive thyroid gland, or if you’re pregnant or nursing.

You should also know that ephedra can’t make a big dent in your waistline. According to a 1995 report in the journal Obesity Research, Danish researchers found that ephedrine combined with caffeine helped obese patients on a strict diet lose an extra 7.5 pounds over six months compared with patients who simply dieted.

Any product that promised to “melt away almost eight pounds in just six months” wouldn’t exactly fly off the shelves.

Editor’s note: On Dec. 30, 2003, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson announced that the government planned to ban the sale of pills containing ephedra in early 2004, and he urged consumers to stop taking the herbal stimulant immediately.

The ban took effect on April 12, 2004. Thompson’s action to ban ephedra came after years of criticism from consumers and researchers who have documented cases of heart attacks, high blood pressure, and strokes associated with ephedra.

HCA hydroxycitric acid

HCA, short for hydroxycitric acid, is an herbal extract found in at least 14 commercial weight loss drugs. The chemical, which is distilled from a family of plants native to India, supposedly suppresses the appetite and slows down the conversion of carbohydrates into fat.

While the compound really can help fat rodents slim down, it may not have the same effect of people. In a study published in the Nov. 11, 1998, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers from Columbia University gave HCA supplements (1,500 milligrams each day) to 66 over patients.

Another 69 patients took a daily placebo, or dummy pill. All of the subjects were on a high-fiber, low-calorie diet throughout the study. Twelve weeks later, patients in both groups had lost , but researchers concluded that HCA failed to produce significant weight loss.

Pyruvate

This natural compound found in all plants and animals has gained wide popularity as a muscle builder and weight -loss aid. Our cells produce pyruvate when we take energy from sugar, and some studies suggest that pyruvate supplements help burn calories.

Marketers claim Pyruvate is a natural alternative to prescription diet drugs such as phentermine and fenfluramine (phen-fen), but a recent report in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition calls such statements false and misleading. There’s no evidence that pyruvate comes anywhere close to matching the weight loss powers of prescription drugs.

In one of the few human studies of pyruvate, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found that over patients who took the supplements lost an extra 1.3 pounds over six weeks compared with patients who took a placebo.

You should also be aware that ingesting large amounts of pyruvate can cause intestinal distress, bloating, and diarrhea.

Phenylpropanolamine

PPA. Short for phenylpropanolamine, PPA is the active ingredient in Dexatrim, Acutrim, and several other over-the-counter dieting aids. PPA was the most popular weight loss drug in the country, but it didn’t win that position with astounding results.

According to Robert Sherman of the FDA’s Office of Over the Counter Drug Evaluation, “even the best studies show only about a half pound greater loss per week using PPA combined with diet and exercise.” In October 2000, a panel of FDA advisers concluded that PPA was too dangerous to be available in over-the-counter products and called for makers to stop selling drugs containing it.

Medical experts point out that between 1965 and 1990, the agency learned of 142 serious reactions — including extreme spikes in blood pressure, headaches, strokes, and eight deaths — linked to PPA. Some of these victims overdosed, but two thirds took the drug as directed.
