Amazing Weight Loss Supplement

I wanted to mention a supplement now locally available. As I considered the ingredients these primary benefits stood out.
1. First ingredient makes you feel full so there's not a tendency to over eat.
2. Second ingredient reduces the caloric intake of any food you eat.
3. The third ingredient boost metabolism helping you to burn fat faster.
4. The next ingredient increases energy levels leading to more productive exercise.

It's clean, cheap, safe, earth friendly and no negative side effects.

If anyone is interested in these just email me or go to your local pharmacy and ask if they have a product called 'an apple.' I've seen it also sold in produce stores.

Some Antibiotics May Cause Injuries

If your sick you have good reasons to rest up and heal. Some antibiotics can cause musculoskeletal injuries. Here's some guidelines:
Training routines should be reduced in intensity and volume once antibiotics are started. A graduated return to full activity should be implemented so long as you remain asymptomatic after the antibiotic course is finished.
All athletic activity should be stopped if any adverse reactions are experienced.
You should monitor yourself for 1 month after completion of antibiotics.

Barefoot African Running

Barefoot African Running

I tried this style of running but with shoes because it lessens impact on the body's joints. In fact theres almost no impact. Our bodies only uses 7% more energy standing than sitting. But the impact force from running can be many times our body weight. The body's natural efficiency can be translated to running when we do it the right way.

This is antidotal but here's what I personally found:
-no knee pain! Usually every time I run afterwards I suffer from painful knees for about one day. After changing my style, no knee pain at all. But I did get a better calf workout.
-no exhaustion! I ran two days in a row and participated in two high intensity classes. I experienced no exhaustion on my second day. I could have doubled my time.

BAR Running styles, (different from bar hopping) emphasizes landing on the ball of the foot or center forward area.

-Simply Lemonade and Simply Orange Juice. Made from real sugar.
-Milos Sweet Tea. Simple w/few ingredients.
-100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Rounds. 100 calories and fiber rich.
-Organic Peanut Butter. An organic must buy. Most PBs sneak in bad fats.
-Liquid Egg Whites. Clean protein with a very high muscle uptake.
-Horizon Organic Milk. Same uptake as egg whites. Lower fat is better.
-Oscar Meyers Carving Board Deli meats. Not processed.
-Heinz Organic Ketchup. No high fructose corn syrup.
-Glory Canned Spinach. Low sodium and quick way to get green leafy. Awesome taste.
-Mexican Coke. Real Sugar. If your trying to get off sodas these don't increase your appetite like other sodas. Also you get fuller faster.
-Cafe Du Monde Coffee. Best tasting coffee in the world. 1/3 the caffeine and has Chicory which is a natural pro-biotic. Pro-biotics help with stubborn belly fat and digestive problems.
-Organic Raw Sugar. Processes in the stomach not the liver like the other zero calorie sweeteners.
-Earth Fare BBQ Sauce. It is very hard to find b sauce w/o high fru.

-Whole Wheat Tortillas. Bake your own chips.
-Real Cheese.
-Total Cereal. It a Multi-vitamin in a box. I eat a dry handful. You do it your way.
-The Best Cookies you can find. Cookies aren't supposed to be healthy. Their cookies. If your going to eat dessert, it should be very very good.
The Fresh Market has good cookies by the way.

Of course water, lean meats, fruits and veggies beats all if these.

Fast Food:
-Wendy's has healthier options. Like grilled real meat chicken. Whole wheat buns. Meaningful side salads.
Chick fila. Whole wheat and grilled options.
Arby's is trying hard w/salad options.
Jasons Deli. Awesome. They care.
-Subway is a joke. Breads have High Fructose Corn Syrup. Mostly processed meats.
Panera Bread. Strong placebo effect for people who think their eating healthy. Including me.

2. Steamed.
3. Baked
4. Grilled
5. Boiled
