The Do's and Do Not's of Fat Loss.

  We were all there once. Looking in the mirror, wanting to change. But not really knowing how. We over complicated it. And we stress our selves out. We hop on the scale, and frown when it says we actually GAINED weight. And we scream "HOW CAN THAT BE I HAVE BEEN ON KEY ALL WEEK". Well. In this article I will tell you a few key Do's and Do Not's for your fat loss journeys.

-DO: Eat Clean "Organic" Foods:
  I cannot stress this point enough. Just eat food, nothing processed. No grain infused frozen meals. Animals, and plants. That is all. No corn or grains. No starchy carbs like potatoes. Just eat an abundance of plants and some animals for protein.

-DO NOT: Over complicate things:
  Just do it, don't think too hard. Don't weigh yourself everyday. You'll only psych and stress yourself out. And stress, will make you retain and even gain weight. Just, do what you're suppose to and look in the mirror, measure your waist. And if they don't go down, change your diet. Train harder. Do something different. It's nice to see weight go down, but on any given day your weight can fluctuate 3-5lbs. It's usually water weight. So don't stress those few pounds heavier you are. Also, you have to factor in muscles, if you are strength training. As you can see, the scale can be your worst enemy on any fat loss venture.

-DO: Train hard:
  Give it your all, no matter what you're doing. Weather it is a lifting program, a body weight program. Or if you're just starting out and you're walking. Just give it your all. Don't give up. In the words of the late Master Yoda. "Do or Do Not, there is no Try/" And that is so true, you either do it, or you don't. There is no "trying to do" something. Because if you wanted it bad enough, you would just fucking do it. No complaints, no whining, no "I'll do it tomorrow," Or "I'll do it monday, it's good to start on the first of a week". Who the hell gave you that stupid ass idea? I don't care if it is, 3 a/m/ and you are sitting there and you get that twinge of something deep within you, you want to change. Don't say "I will do it in the morning" You want results, put in the fucking work. You get your ass up off the couch THAT NIGHT, and you go for a walk before bed. I don't care what time it is. If you want it done, do it/ Quit eating those foods, quit drinking that soda. I believe in each and every one of you. So believe in your damn self for once. Because I did it, I lost 115lbs. Not because I "did it on Monday" I looked in the mirror, and said "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO YOURSELF" and I made that change. I know you can too.

-DO NOT: Let people bring you down:
  Don't let someone bring you down. You're in a good mood, working out. You're eating better. Granted, maybe not as good as you should. But you dropped the soda, and got to walking and stuff. And BAM, you hear someone whisper "damn that guy/girl is so fat why are they even trying?" Or maybe someone isn't noticing your weight loss, or how good you're doing. So you go back to your comfort. You binge, you eat so much till you get to the point of being sick. You get depressed, and you don't want to move on. You go back to your old habits. NO, YOU DON'T. You look them in the eyes, and say "FUCK YOU" because you're doing what YOU know is right. What helps YOU in YOUR life. Not theirs. If you're doing it right. Putting in the hard work, and you are seeing even small changes. You KEEP DOING IT. Despite what anyone says. Because, they don't see your struggle. They don't even know you. They just speculate based on what they perceive. So be strong. Do not, let uneducated people bring down your mood. You're doing this for you, keep at it and one day you'll laugh in their face when they haven't achieved their goals, and you have.

-DO: Write it down:
  Everything, yes I said it right, EVERYTHING. Every little morsel you eat. Weather it is a 12oz porterhouse. Or one cookie. Every calorie counts. And you'll be able to see, on those days you "cheat" and have a brownie or a piece of pie. How many calories over your goal you've went. How, empty those sugary concoctions are for your health. They're sugar and carbs, and all sorts of additives. So, skip those if you're looking for fat loss. Write down all the food you eat, the drinks you consume. Your morning coffee or green tea. Your afternoon sweet tea, or un-sweet if you're like me. Your dinner, every oz of that chicken or fish or whatever you fancy. You're at work and someone offers you a piece of their food, say, fried chicken. And you haven't had any for a while, so  you think, sure why not? WRITE IT DOWN. That friend chicken leg, has many calories, probably over 100. So write it down. Those calories count. They all count. Also, write down your workouts. Log your reps and weight if you're strength or body weight training. If for 3 weeks, your weight hasn't increased or even decreased. Change something up. Don't idle in your workouts. Don't stall on your nutrition. Because those plateaus are hard to bust through. And you WILL hit one. Just don't be the cause of it. Do yourself a favor, and actually log every food item, every workout. And even your sleep schedule. It all effects your weight. Maybe something has been stressing you out lately? And your weight loss has stalled. BINGO, get rid of that stress. And just WRITE IT DOWN. Simple as that.

-DO NOT: Blame anyone but yourself:
  That's right. I will probably get A LOT of people mad at me with this one. I don't care. The truth hurts. But fact is, you caused all of this. No one forced you to eat like you did. No one forced anything on you. I blamed a lot of things for how I was. My feet, because I couldn't do the things I liked. My dad for leaving us. I blamed it on a lot. But it was all a sweet comforting lie, to help myself justify how I was. No one forced me to eat in abundance, or to not be active. I did that to myself. No one forced me to drink ever single day. Or pop pills. I chose that life. To ease the pain, when I could have as easily just got my ass up and did something about it. Instead I numbed myself, and I numbed the pain. It did't go away. No, I covered it up. That is the WRONG way to go about things. Don't blame your parents, your environment, your school, the other kids, don't blame the commercials, or Mc Donalds for being so bad for you. Just don't. No one forced your hand. It was you. And only YOU can change yourself. Only YOU can do what needs to be done. On your own time. Don't do it for anyone else, nor wait for anyone else. If you don't like something, change it. You might not be able to do it overnight, the change. Because it has been ongoing for YEARS. But, you CAN do it. You just have to get your mindset into it. And BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Because you are capable of doing it, You didn't get this way overnight. You've eaten like this for years. Small baby steps. And, eventually you'll look back at the person you WERE and see the person you're designed to be. Because you're strong, you're powerful, mind body and spirit. So don't even think you can't and don't ever think, it isn't your fault because, ultimately it is. So change it.

-DO: Believe it is possible:
  There are people worse off than you. There are people with various diseases and various different things wrong. Don't make the excuse that you "Can't" because you CAN. People do it everyday. People with so many problems do it. Physical and psychological diseases. They get it done. So you can too. No feat is too hard. No mountain too high. No path unable to be crossed. You can do what you set your mind to. If you give it your all, you'll get it all in return. Life works in mysterious ways. And sometimes it's hard. Sometimes, that light at the end of the tunnel seems SO far away. But, it's not. If you believe, you can achieve. You will never do anything, unless you can believe in yourself. Because, that is the ONE and ONLY person who matters in the end. Not the neighbor, not your significant other, not your parents or friends. Not that "guy/girl" you want to impress. You do this for YOU. You believe in YOU. It is possible, To quote the famous Spartacus, "Anything in this life is possible, if mind and heart are put towards it." Give it your all, your blood, your sweat, your tears, your mind and body. Your heart. Give it everything you got, and never give up. Never let life push you back harder than you can push it. Because, you're better than that. Better than someone so eager and willing to give up everything they've worked for. Believe it is possible, even when everyone and everything else tells you it isn't.


-DO NOT: Feel you have to compare yourself to others:
  Everyone is different. We all have different bodies. Different levels of health and such. So it is normal, that someone else, who is the same weight as you, for them to lose it faster/slower than you. Because, we all have different DNA. While, it is all pretty cut and dry. The basics are the same. Calories in VS Calories out. But, everyone is different. So don't ever compare yourself to someone else. To someone who loses it faster than you. It will only stress you out. It will only make you want to give up. You will compete with them, even if not on purpose, subconsciously, and you will attempt to train like them. And only injure yourself. You will only give up, when you cannot do what they can. So, never compare yourself to another person. Because, you will only be discouraged.



  The most important rule of any fatloss/nutritional/workout program, is to just do your best. That simple. Just give it your all. Don't be discouraged if someone else is more fit. Or if they are losing weight faster. Etc. Just do you. Don't compare yourself. Don't look in magazines, and say you want that body. Chances are, if/when, you get to that level of fitness, you will NOT look exactly like Arnold did when he did body building. Nor will you look like your favorite athlete. You will be you, but a stronger version of yourself. And that is what we all want to work for. To be stronger, fitter, faster, harder and all over healthier.

  Keep doing what you do, keep being strong. And. being yourself. Don't listen to others, let the critics do what they do. And you do what you do. Because, you CAN do it. If you put your mind to it.

Fitness: Quit Over-Complicating It.

  We are all guilty of this in our lifetime. We over complicate things. We get so caught up in the lights and glamour of things. We have so many options. So many avenues, and they all claim to the be "right answer".
This place says, do high this and low that. This place says, the opposite. One says, heavy this, one says light that. Another says to follow this routine, another says that routine is bogus.
  It can be quite overwhelming. But, I am here to shed some light for you all. The truth is, there is no "right" or "wrong" way. But, there is effective and non-effective. Depending, on exactly what your end goal is.

  So you want to lose weight? But, not sure where to begin? Join the millions of other people who are researching along side you. Who are so overwhelmed with all the information.
  First off, forget all you have ever been taught. Forget all the health and fitness magazines. It's all just for show, to sell their supplements. Those big jacked guys, are simply on steroids. And you won't get those results without them.

  Okay, so, you're looking for a plan to help lose that fat.
First thing's first: WALK.
Just go for a walk, 30 minutes a day. That isn't such a big commitment, is it? You can walk around your neighborhood, get some sunlight. Anything, just walk for 30 minutes a day. It will get your fat loss jump started. Help your cardiovascular system. Help your bone structure. Your posture will improve. It will help your health seven fold.
  That is your first step, just to walk, make the commitment, and promise to yourself.

 Second step, is to find a program. Now, a lot of programs well quite frankly, suck. They give you all these complicated exercises, with all these crazy machines that twist your body into unnatural positions.

The ONLY exercises you will need, to build muscle and lose fat:
-Deadlift.
-Squat.(front and back)
-Bench Press.
-Overhead Press.
-Lunges.
-Power Cleans(and press)
-Bent over row
-Pull ups.

That's it. Those are all full body movements, all of them shock your CNS(central nervous system), enough to promote either fat loss or muscle gain. (depending on your level of nutrition)

Now, starting out, you can also use body weight movements.
-Body squats.
-Body lunges.
-Pull-ups.
-Push-ups.
-Bear Crawls.
-Planks (for core stability)
-Plyometrics(depends on your fitness level)

And you don't need a gym membership or fancy equipment, if you cannot afford it. Simply find heavy things to lift around the house. Anything to jump start your metabolism. Just get active.

-Barbells.
-Dumbbells.
-Kettlebells.

Those are the three major items you can buy, to use.

There are also different ways, such as tire flips/sledge hammer slams (like the UFC fighters use).

Those movements can be sort of advanced though.

Don't buy into the hype of all the items you see on tv, all the advertisements. All the information saying you need to do biceps and triceps and all that to make them look good.
You can do full body movements, and it can help grow all your secondary muscles. Like your biceps and triceps.
  Don't complicate yourself. And do what works for you. A good starting routine for strength and muscle gains (also fat loss):
(this follows the 5X5 aspects (5 sets of 5 reps each, as heavy as you can go)
Monday:
-Squat(back)
 5 sets of 5 reps each
-Pullups
5 sets till failure.
-standing barbell press
5 sets 5 reps each
-bench press
5 sets 5 reps each

Tuesday:Do your walking.

Wednesday:
-Dead lift
5 sets 5 reps each
-bent over barbell row
5 sets 5 reps each
-upright row
5 sets 5 reps each.
-push ups
5 sets till failure

Thursday: Do your walking.

Friday:
-Squat(front) (until you can do power cleans)
5 sets 5 reps each.
-Shrugs(dumbbell is better, but barbell works)
5 sets 5 reps each
-Front raises (barbell is better, but dumbbell is more versatile)
5 sets 5 reps each
-Dumbbell inclined bench press
5 sets 5 reps each

Saturday/Sunday:Do your walking.

That's it.
Age old workouts, that Arnold himself used. They're effective for muscle and strength gains. And fat loss.
These full body movements, such as dead lifts, power cleans, and squats. Tax your CNS, and send your body into a fat burning machine stage. Or a muscle building machine. Depending on your desired results. As long as you're getting stronger. It's working.

Do that, for 2-3 weeks. And if your strength gains aren't going up, change your diet up. Revise what you're doing inside the kitchen over all.

There you have it, the simplistic way of fitness. No glamour, no lights, no bullshit. Just simple, effective exercises.
Stop making it so complicated, thinking you have to follow some routine that makes you stay in the gym for 3 hours, doing all these "toning" exercises.
Now, long gym times aren't necessarily "bad" but, those are for different types of people. Such as strength athletes, training for strong man, and what not. That is a completely different world, for a different time.

Keep strong, keep healthy, keep active. And most importantly, STAY OFF THE SCALE.
Judge your fitness efforts by what your mirror says.

Until next time,
Corey.

I will be discussing stretching, and how it can help you in your fitness and healthy life goals.

Diseases, Can You Cure or Even Prevent Them?

  We all ask the same question. "I have, such and such disease. What can I do?" It'san age old question, "I hate the side effects of my medicines, but I NEED THEM" No, let me stop you right there, you don't. You can change, prevent and even cure some if not all diseases.
  Some of you are sitting there, saying "well that cannot be, my doctor gave me this pills for a reason". The reasoning, is Big Pharma, and the prescription agenda. They make more money, off of people who have diseases that are easibly curable with diet change and supplementation of natural resources. But, they push these expensive and unnecessary medications, with a side effect list that is worse than what they are claiming to cure. My hnest opinion, they mask the underlying causes of diseases, poor nutrition and vitamin deficiences.

  These few items, can help you, with curing cancer. Yes CURING cancer. Preventing cancer, and a host of other diseases, including but not limited to:
-Alzheimer's
-Cancer
-IBS
-Heart disease
-Liver disease
-Dementia
-Cardiovascular disease
-Asthma
-Vascular diseases
-Hair loss
-Tooth decay
-Tumors(shrinking them)
  The list goes on and on. The number of diseases has grown to such a magnitude, since the early ages of man. They never knew diseases as of which we now know, The worst, was the bubonic plague. And even then, they used natural remedies to cure them.
  A lifestyle change is inevitible when faced with a life altaring or liffe threatening disease. More vegetalbles, more fruits, more meat, less starchy carbs.

These are the best natural ingredients to use, that can help rid your body of all sorts of toxins:
1.Apple cider vinegar.
  Apple cider vinegar has been used for the longest time as a natural remedy for acid reflux and a host of other stomach related problems
2. Honey.
  Honey, can be used for a number of things. From a natural allergy suppressant. To some quick energy. And, helping ward off pesky acne. It is a very versatile product.
3. Raw Coca powder(unsweetened).
  This, is a natural antioxadent that has more power than a cup of green tea. It was used along side green chillies(fresh), and vanilla. To make the first ever hot chocolate.
4. Coconut(oil).
  This, is the meca of all products. Curing and stopping cancer cells and tumors. Tooth health. Intestine health. Gut health. Hair and skin health. Brain clairty. You name it. Coconut can be used for it. The best part, is the coconut oil. But, coconut(raw), coconut milk and water are all great to use. This is a cure all, and a must in an everyday diet.
Lastly, I will talk about a controversial product, Hemp Oil.
The oil from the marijuana plant, has been shown to fight and stop cancer growth. And also help individuals be healthy. It is a highly controversial product, because of the recreational use of cannibis(which I don't frown upon). But, the oil, has a low THC count. And, can be used to help stop cancer.
There are many other products that can be used by the body, to help fight and ward off diseases. Also help prevent them.
Cayanne pepper.
Garlic.
Ginger.
Cinnamon.
Collagen.
Turmic.
The list goes on.
Inflamation, acne, poor circulation, obesity, etc.
These are all things a simple tweak or two of your diet can change.
Let me give you a start, to cleansing your system. Kevin James used this, to lose his weight.
I heard this on a Joe Rogan podcast(highly recoment listening/watching)
Drink one shake every morning:
Kale(one bundle)
Celery(2-4 stalks)
! Pear
1 cucumber
1 piece(about 2inches) of gigner root(fresh)
Make sure all ingredients are washed and fresh, no frozen, and no GMO.
Blend together(no wader needed)
And if you really want a kick, add a spoon full of chia seeds and or hemp seeds.
That shake will cleanse your body and get you on your road to fat loss.
So in closing, I recomend everyone follow a diet high in vegetables and fruits, use vitamins and supplements when needed. Use spices(organic) as much as wanted.
Moderate protein.
NO GRAINS, NO STARCHY CARBS.
Basically, any potato product is eliminated. No corn (yes, again it is a grain)
Get active. Get moving.
And stay healthy,
Until next time,
Corey.

Tomorrow, we will go over fitness, the do's and don't(s). And where most people make 
their mistakes.

Supplements, Do You Need Them? Are They Worth the Money?

  Ah, supplements. We all want to "get big fast" or "lose the inches in a few days".
Hell, I'm even guilty of it. When I first started working out, and nutrition. I spent over $100.00 on supplements. That hardly did any good, if not did bad to my body. I spent over, $450.00 on my share of supplements, and I have used my share of "free" ones. I quoted free, because as my favorite highschool teacher use to say, "There is no such thing as a free lunch" Meaning, even if it's free for you, someone had to pay for it.
  Anyways, back on track now.
Supplements, everyone uses them, everyone wants them. I mean, who wouldn't? Look at those muscle magazines, all these jacked and ripped dudes, and even girls, holding these supplements. And of course, they show those articles, of people who "transformed" because of the supplements. Or those stories, of how the supplements helped them so much. And then, there is the big dude, endorsing them. Claiming that they got those muscles by taking that powder, or pill. It's simply, unrealistic. Sure, those supplements help but truth is. You won't get that big, without steroids. It's physically impossible. Don't let anyone fool you.

  So, you're wondering, why am I bashing supplements? Well, I'm not exactly "bashing" them. Some are good. There are good protein powders, and such. But, the majority. Is shit. Plain and simple. Let me explain:

There are,
Pre-Workouts
Protein powders(whey, caseine, soy, rice, isolates, pea, etc)
Intra-Workouts
Creatine.(which I will say, does help a bit, one supplement I stand behind)
Fat burners
Thermogenic pills
Testosterone boosters
Post-Workout
Amino Acids
ETC.

Too many to name, really. The list goes on and on.
Now, a lot of these powders and riddled with dyes, and artificial sugars/flavors. Which, harm the body.
A lot, are simply unnecessary. Protein powders, do little for the body. When you can just eat a chicken breast.
Most have a lot of artificial ingredients (with the exception of "organic"(there is that word again) Protein powders)
Your pre workouts, well those are just a lot of stimulants and artificial ingredients. Drink some black coffee, and suck it up.
Intra workouts, do little to help you. Especially, when half the ingredients are again, artificial.
Post workout, well that's just unnecessary carbs and protein(again with lots of artificial ingredients)
Most testosterone boosters, well, have ingredients that either. Simply don't work, or they aren't a big enough dosage.
You can get most of your amino acids, from eating meat.
The only product I will stand behind, is creatine, if you want that pump. But, all it does is basically pull water to your muscles.

  You can get, most of your essential ingredients from natural sources. Such as food, and a quality multivitamin.
Now, one product line I support, is Onnit. They have good, all natural ingredients. The products work. And, they aren't full of artificial ingredients.
So, next time you pick up your copy of a muscle mag. And you see those big ripped body builders. Don't buy into the hype.
  Humans, survived and got stronger, bigger and ripped. More lean. Without those supplements. They ate food, and they did work. They stayed active. They walked daily, they did things that physically challenged them. They were in controlled stressful situations that made their bodies work.
  So instead of grabbing that $50.00 tub of protein. Buy $50.00 worth of meat. You'd be surprised how much more effective it is for you.

  Also, those fat burners/thermo pills.
Are junk, and can be dangerous. Unless you get prescription diet pills(Which I HIGHLY advise against).
They aren't going to do shit.
Your body responds to diet, and physical activity.
Quit fueling the fire, don't feed the beast. Maybe they will change. "Organic" and "all natural" products cost a tad more. But if you are looking for supplements, quality over quantity is a must.
Because, 20 years from now, you may be looking back wishing you had spent an extra $10.00 a month and not gotten that disease, or whatever.

  Be smart, be healthy, and most importantly Stay active.

So, You Want to Lose Weight?

Simple, right?
Eat as little food as you can. Near none, just eat some a tiny little bit of food daily. And watch the pounds just melt off.
Wrong. Eating no food, will actually have the negative effect. You can actually GAIN weight.
I know, I know most of you are probably screaming at your screens right now.
Holding your heads already, not getting it.

  Your body, is a very complex structure. Yet it is so simple to change.
The formula in its most simplistic form is as follows:
Calories in<Calories out.

There is a difference with, "weight loss" and "fat loss".

Our aim, is for fat loss.

Some Basic Terminology for along the way:

1). BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): The base amount of calories, you would need if in a comatose state, to maintain your body composition.
2). NEAT (Non-Exercise Associated Thermogenesis): Calories burned by non exercise activities (washing dishes, walking, talking, etc). Also called incidental exercise, something everyone has a good amount of control over.
3). EAT (Exercise Associated Thermogenesis): Calories from planned exercised.
4). TEF (Thermic effect of feeding): Calorie expenditure associated with eating.
5). TEE (Total Energy Expenditure): The total calories you require, basically to live and be healthy.


In a more complex form, here is the formula to use as a measure on how to lose fat:

BMR= 370 + (21.6 x LBM) Where LBM = [Total weight (kg) x (100 - Bodyfat %)]/100

LBM=Lean Body Mass.

Now, in order to decide what you need total, you must factor in your Activity level:

This is your TOTAL COST OF LIVING, NOT just TRAINING:

1.2= Sedentary (desk job and light exercise)
1.3-1.4= Lightly active (light daily activity, and light exercise 1-3 days)
1.5-1.6= moderately active (moderate daily activity and moderate exercise 3-5 days)
1.7-1.8= Very active (Physically demanding lifestyle and hard exercising 6-7 days a week)
1.9-2.2= Extremely Active (Athlete in endurance training or a VERY HARD and physical job)

You Take your BRM x Your activity level.
To get your total required calories.

Now, in order to lose weight, you take and minus 20% from that, and eat those calories.
Eat that for 2 weeks, if no loss, re-calculate and minus a tad more.
Never got below 1500 for men, and 1200 for women,
not for a prolonged time.


That is the basics for now.
I will get more in detail about macronutrients(Carbs, Fats, Protein)
What role they play, and how much of each you should be eating.

Weight loss, will bring suffering, here's my post on suffering:
