It goes against everything we’ve been told. Eat your veggies to boost your immune system. They have tons of Vitamins, Minerals, and anti-oxidents. They help eliminate food cravings & control our appetite.

And they help fight against Fat.

Or DO THEY?

Recent data released by the USDA says otherwise. Over the past 50 years store bought fruits and veggies have been losing their luster, and they’re not as Nutrient Packed as we think.

Here’s the data from a few store bought veggies under the microscope

Tomatoes of Today contain
- 29% LESS iron
- 57% LESS Calcium
- 46% LESS Vitamin A

Carrots of Today contain
-40% LESS Iron
-33% LESS Calcium

Broccoli of Today contain
-27% LESS iron
-60% LESS Calcium
-52% LESS Vitamin A

Sweet Corn of Today contain
- 76% LESS Calcium
- 22% LESS Vitamin A

Due to farmers using hybrids to create a better looking crop to put on the shelves so that they SELL BETTER, our favorite fruits and veggies are being depleted of their precious vitamins and minerals.

Those are just 4 examples, but when I read this report I was totally appalled…

Not because the hybrid crops are yielding less nutrients, but because

NO ONE IS TELLING US ABOUT IT….

NOR are they giving us better options..

Here are 2 other options to get your veggies to ensure they are rich in vitamin & minerals:

1) Grow our own garden - Not exactly plausible for everyone. Plus it’s a
long pain-staking process, especially if you don’t have a green thumb

2) Seek out your local home-grown fruit and veggie market, and buy your
stuff there.

Growing a garden isn’t the best option for everyone, but local farmer’s markets have great produce as compared to its store bought counterpart.

Plus you’ll know it’s not devoid of the precious nutrients that help eliminate our food cravings & control our appetites…

I have a great article for you today from one of my trusted colleagues, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Mike Geary . It’s about a specific spice that could help you to burn body fat and get leaner, in an indirect way…

Enjoy!

1 Unique Spice That Beats Abdominal Fat:

Ok, this spice that I’m going to mention is one of the most overlooked, but healthiest spices in the world…

You might even call it a “fat burning spice”… in a roundabout way.

And yes, it can actually help you win the battle against abdominal fat if you use it daily…I’ll explain why.

Here are some other benefits of this miracle spice:

*controls blood sugar levels
*helps maintain insulin sensitivity
*a very powerful antioxidant
*may have antibacterial and antifungal properties
*and dozens of other benefits

So what is this miracle spice?

Well… it’s good old tasty Cinnamon!

Although cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (such as by increasing metabolic rate, etc), it CAN actually help you to burn off abdominal fat and get leaner through an indirect link.

Here’s how…

Although cinnamon has dozens of health benefits, the main benefit that will help you to get leaner is through it’s strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in your body.

In a study published in 2003 in the medical journal Diabetes Care, groups were split into people taking 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form (the equivalent of approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

The results of the study showed that all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.

Cinnamon can also increase insulin sensitivity, which essentially means that it is helping your body to control blood sugar while simultaneously allowing your body to produce less insulin.

As you know, chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the blubber.

How to harness this to lose more fat…

One possible way to benefit from cinnamon to lose more fat is to use cinnamon daily in your meals when you can, such as in yogurt or cottage cheese, in smoothies, oatmeal, or anything else you can think of where it would go well.

Also, you could use a cinnamon capsule before each of your meals.

This could help to control blood sugar and insulin response from your meals and thereby control your appetite and cravings throughout the day… hence, helping you to lose body fat more effectively over time.

So now you can see that not only is cinnamon a powerful antioxidant that can help you stay youthful longer, it can also help you to control blood sugar and get a leaner body!

Note: please make sure to consult your doctor before adding any new foods or spices to your nutrition plan if you are taking any medications or have food allergies.

Let’s dive into Part II of the Fat Loss Process head first, and cover the Nutrition portion of your first short term goal that we discussed last time.

But before we get started, I just want to make sure I’m clear that…

It doesn’t matter what your specific goal is. It could be to lose 7 pounds in a month, it could be to lose 1 pound a week…

Heck, it could even be to gain 2 pounds of muscle in 3 weeks.

This isn’t about the specific goal, it’s about the process to reach that goal.

And I also want to be clear that the short term goal isn’t restricted to 4 week blocks. It could even be set in 2 week blocks like I used for the http://SixPackAbsProject.com.

The important thing is to just set a short time frame, cut your big goal into a realistic chunk, and get after it.

Just like the Washing Clothes example earlier, there are 3 Main Parts to any successful fitness program.

1) Nutrition
2) Training
3) Cardio

And Each of these 3 have their own small processes that need laser sharp focus to be successful.

Since we’re discussing nutrition today, you probably already know that calculations and food choices are “involved”.

But what we may not realize is that those 2 things are just small parts of the big picture. They are NOT the single most important things of our nutrition process.

They are JUST Processes.

Let me give you an example.

Here’s a formula to calculate the number of calories we need to consume per day to maintain our current weight:

Men’s Formula:

66+(6.22 x bodyweight in lbs)+(12.7 x Height inches)-(6.8 x Age)= Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
*Multiply RMR By our Activity Factor (1.3 to 2.0), and this will give us our daily maintenance calories

Women’s Formula

665+(4.36 x bodyweight in lbs)+(4.32 x Height) inches-(4.7 x Age)= Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
*Multiply RMR By our Activity Factor (1.3 to 2.0), and this will give us our daily maintenance calories

Once we deduce our maintenence calories, we subtract 500 calories…..

And this is the number of calories we should consume per day to lose approximately 1 pound of fat per week.

Next we match up foods that help us reach the daily caloric requirements.

It could be mixed and matched…

Steak & potato

Chicken & Broccoli

The How to Get Six Pack Abs Cheeseburger (my fav)

The list goes on and on.

So we have a food list, we have the calories that we need each day to lose a pound of fat per week.

THEN WHAT?

The first answer that likely comes to our mind is to just put the foods together and get it done.

But this is usually where we get it all wrong. Because it’s not really THAT easy unless you have a list of things to check off each time something is done.

Because just like the example with washing clothes, each small step needs to be completed one at a time.

So, it does take a little preparation, and a little bit of thought, but it won’t kill us, I promise; because we’ll break it into even smaller chunks that are easy to focus our undivided attention.

Here’s what I would consider the 5 Basic Nutrition Processes:

1. Calculating our Calories
2. Making a grocery list of our (approved) preferred foods
3. Going to the store and purchasing the foods
4. Preparing the foods
5. Consuming the foods

Now, I think you’ll agree, on the surface this looks really simple.

Each of the Processes have several small action steps that should be completed based on the respective frequency of the process.

For example, let’s take “Preparing the Foods” Process, and answer a few of the questions we’ll use to formulate our own personal Nutrition Plan to follow, assuming we’re determined to reach our end goal.:

1. How often will we prepare our food?
- Will we cook each day as we go?
- Will we cook enough to last 2-3 day?
- Will we cook enough for a week?

2. How will we store our food?
- Will we just put it all in 1 big container?
- Will we seperate it out into portions so that
it’s ready to heat and eat?

3. How will we transport and store our food at work?
- Do we have access to a refrigerator at work?
- Will we have to work around our work schedule and
just consume meal replacement bars or shakes at work
and eat our prepared food at home?

Once we have those questions answered, the hard work is out of the way, and we simply lay out the process as we have it answered above..

So here’s what a “sample” Nutrition process may look like:

1. calculate our calories (Only have to do this Once)
2. choose approved foods to prepare for the week
3. go to the grocery store once per week
4. prepare our food to last 3 days at a time
5. Every 3rd day will be a cooking day for the next 3 days’ meals
6. we have our food portioned and placed in containers so that it’s easy to transport and eat
7. We know what we’re taking to work with us each day, and what we’ll be eating.

As you can see, once we break down each part, it becomes extremely manageable. This is why focusing on the process and action steps is so powerful. In this example, we focus all our attention on choosing, buying, preparing and consuming our food.

Nothing more, nothing less.

So, the next step in the overall process is to actually lay out a step by step workout action plan to achieve your first 4 Week Goal… And then follow it.

I’ll be more than happy to dive deeper into this in my next blog post, but before I do, I want to make sure you want this information…

And I want to make sure we have a grasp on everything covered today.

So, you can let me know whether you want me to move on to the next process or discuss the Nutrition process a little more before moving on by leaving a comment below.

In the last article, you read about how 2 coaches with the same goal took 2 different approaches…

One focused on the end result… and failed miserably.

The other focused on the process it took to achieve the end result, and acheived it with RECORD BREAKING SPEED.

So, we’re gonna dive into the first part of picking this process apart and use it to lose fat.

I believe the first and the most important thing for us to do requires us going through a 2 step process:

1) Set a specific long term goal, and define what it takes to accomplish it. Here’s an example:

I want to Have a Flat Stomach by June 1st. In order to do this, I’ll need to lose 23 pounds of fat.

2) Set your first short term goal. Since the long term goal is 4 months out, the 1st short term goal will be 4 weeks out.

Here’s an example: Today is January 24th, In 4 weeks on February 20th, I want to lose 7 pounds of fat.

The idea here is to split the long term goal into small consumable, realistic action steps that we can watch, track, and tweak.

IMPORTANT

Once we’ve set the long term goal, we put it in the back of our minds and FORGET ABOUT IT.

At this point, the long term goal doesn’t matter anymore. As long as we focus on achieving the short term goals, and actually achieve them, the End Result will automatically materialize by default - without ever having to even think about it again.

So, what we’ll focus on from this point forward is our short 4 week goal: Losing 7 Pounds. Once we get to February 20th, we’ll sit down, and set the next short term goal, and go forward.

This is the absolute most important part of losing fat, breaking it down in chunks… that you can actually SEE and FEEL working immediately.

In the end, all the “little chunks” will add up, and at the very least put us AT our end goal.

That’s part 1.

Part 2 is Diving into the actual process of losing the first 7 pounds and achieving the first 4 week goal.

I want to show you a simple example that we can all relate to, and break down the process…

Washing Dirty Clothes/Doing Laundry

The goal is to have a clean dry set of clothes in 120 minutes.

Here’s the Process:

1. Gather our clothes
2. Put Detergent into the washing machine
3. Set washing machine to run
4. Put clothes into the washing machine
5. Close Top of washing machine
6. When finished, transfer clothes to dryer
7. Set Dryer to 60 minutes
8. Close Dryer Door
9. Push start button

In roughly 120 minutes, we’ll have clean clothes.

Now, Had we laid in bed just thinking about how we want our clothes to be clean, it wouldn’t have gotten done…

Had we set the goal and skipped ANY 1 step in the 9 step process, we would have failed.

Now I know this is a silly example, but you get the point. Each little process had to be completed, and once they’re all added up, we have a new set of clean clothes.

The same is true when we’re trying to lose fat. We lay out a step-by-step system to lose 7 pounds of fat in 4 weeks, and we follow it from one step to the next…

So, the next step in the process is to actually lay out a step by step plan to lose the first 7 pounds during the next 4 Weeks… And then follow it.

I’ll be more than happy to dive deeper into this in my next blog post, but before I do, I want to make sure you want this information…

So, you can let me know you want me to go into it further by leaving a comment below.

** If we receive 25+ comments, I’ll go ahead and discuss how to break down
the step by step plan to lose your first 7 pounds, and what you need to focus on
to get it done. If Not, we’ll move on. Cool?
