Is This The *Best* New Diet?

By Vince On July 14, 2009 4 Comments

Can you really burn fat, build muscle, and get lean on a vegetarian diet?

During my recent travels to California with with my friend Craig Ballantyne who writes for Men’s Health magazine, we’ve been debating and I said to him,

“Show me just one guy who’s gotten lean on a veggie diet, just one!”

To be honest, I thought that would shut him up, but he came back with some darn good answers showing me you can be lean, athletic, and even build muscle without meat.

Heck, you can even fight like an animal and win bodybuilding contests!

Here’s Craig’s list of vegetarian athletes. It totally blew me away.

First, and most importantly to me, was Bill Pearl, the legendary bodybuilder. He became a vegetarian several decades ago (1969) and still managed to win the Mr. Universe title in 1971 without drugs or meat in his diet.

Then Craig told me about Carl Lewis. Lewis was once the world’s fastest man (winning the Gold Medal in the 100m sprints at the 1988 Olympics) and Lewis once said…

“Can a world-class athlete get enough protein from a vegetarian diet to compete? I’ve found that a person does not need protein from meat to be a successful athlete. In fact, my best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.”

So you can be fast, lean, muscular, and athletic on a vegetarian diet. But Craig’s last example was one of the coolest arguments for a vegetarian diet.

He told me about Mac Danzig, the UFC fighter who is ripped to shreds and who won season 6 of the Ultimate Fighter show on Spike.

I mean, if you can kick someone’s butt on a veggie diet while having single digit body fat and ripped six pack abs, then you’ve got my attention.

Definitely something to look into. After all, I’ve told you a million times about the importance of getting more fruits and vegetables and fiber in your diet.

And so Craig had his friend Kardena Pauza put together free meal plans for you – for both men and women.

Grab yours here and see what the diet fuss is all about:

Let me know what you think.

By the way, keep an eye on Kardena. I guarantee you she is going to be the world’s next female fitness superstar. Possibly even bigger than Jillian Michael’s (with my help).  Here’s a pic of Kardena and I from a recent visit to California. kardena-2

(I’ll be releasing a killer new fat loss system with her later this summer).

So that’s why I give Kardena’s vegetarian meal plans my HIGHEST recommendation. You can trust her for the best nutrition advice.

You’ve got nothing to lose. Get your free meal plans here:

I’m heading away for a weekend with my girlfriend up in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, and I’m going to try out Kardena’s easy veggie meal plans for at least one day. That’s all I’m promising :)

Are You Wasting Your Money On Bodybuilding Supplements?

By Vince On July 11, 2009 18 Comments

When I was younger, around 22 years old, and first getting into bodybuilding and trying to get as big as possible I was the guy buying every single new powder, pill and potion that promised miracles.bodybuilding-supplements

I was spending $200 a month on stuff like:

  • Creatine powders, pills and liquids…
  • Pre and post workout protein powders
  • Pre bed protein powders
  • Weight gain protein powders
  • Testosterone boosters
  • Branch chain amino acids
  • Glutamine
  • NO2 formulas (which were just new on the scene)

And probably some other ones I’m forgetting…

I won’t lie.  At first, it was really exciting buying the latest “breakthrough” bodybuilding supplement.

I remember one ad promising “7 pounds of solid muscle in 7 days” and that was one of the tame ones so it sounded more believable.

My Mom always said I was gullible.

Maybe you can relate?

After dedicating myself to a strict supplement routine and choking back mysterious mixtures and drinks that were supposed to give the physique of my dreams I noticed the only thing changing was the amount of money adding up on my credit card.

I didn’t notice a single friggin difference in muscle size.

That’s when it stopped getting exciting and started becoming very frustrating.

Eventually I ran in my Skinny Guy Savior who started showing me how to eat and train and I gained 21.5 pounds of lean muscle mass in the very first month I took his advice.

And his advice didn’t include any magical bodybuilding supplements.

I was getting ripped and muscular without supplements.  Go figure.

My Skinny Guy Savior revealed to me that some Utah Senator, Orrin Hatch, is the guy to thank for all the wasted money I flushed down the toilet because he chose not to regulate the supplement industry so that bodybuilding companies (and any supplement company can put anything they want in the bottle without FDA approval.

The God’s Honest,
No Nonsense Truth is this…

90% of the bodybuilding supplements on the market Don’t Work!

In this next video I’m going to share with you from the Bigger, Faster, Stronger documentary you’re going to discover that most supplements cost LESS than three dollars to produce.

Want to know their dirty little secrets?

Watch this video to find out how they are getting away with blatantly lying to you and robbing you out of your hard earned money.

As you’ll see, the supplement company does not care about you.  Sure, maybe a  small handful of companies have half-decent products but why look for a solution from an industry that has failed to earn our trust over and over?

In my Inbox, I get a lot of feedback defending the “good guys” in the supplement industry and I would like to believe there are some really high quality products out there but when I see a video like this, I really lose all my trust and hope.

After watching that video, I have 3 questions for you…

1. How do you feel about supplement companies being able to make products for $1-2 and than selling them to you for $60?

2. What do you think of the supplement industry being unregulated and not needing FDA approval?

3. Why do you justify buying supplements when you know that supplement companies can easily put out low quality products?

It’s no wonder the supplement industry is a 24 BILLION dollar industry – anybody can make them and we keep buying them because we’re pathetically desperate!

My Philosophy On Bodybuilding Supplements:

1. Even IF certain supplements are high in quality, I never expect them to work miracles.

2. I’ll ask myself, “What am I trying to get this supplement to do that my training, diet and lifestyle can not?”

3. I’ve lost 90% of my trust in the supplement industry.

4. I’m so skeptical that even when a new product comes out and it’s from someone I trust, I’m not even interested in looking into it because I’ve wasted enough time and money in the past only to be disappointed.  I never did like rejection.

5. I know that my body is not getting what it says on the actual bottle and I can’t believe what the store owner says because (for the most part) they just want to sell you the product they have the biggest profit margins.  I know this because I used to date a girl from GNC who explained how each month they made an inflated commission to promote the “product of the month.”

6. I’ve never seen a friend muscle up on supplements or hear someone say, “I got big because of this supplement…” Have you? Seriously, all the guys I know who are really muscular and strong have at least one of the following commonalities…

  • they either have amazing genetics.
  • they have used drugs.
  • they have a true love for good old fashioned training.
  • they live and breath a healthy bodybuilding lifestyle.
  • they have been consistent and committed to their goals since they started.
  • they are not afraid of hard work and have put in their dues.

7. Lastly, you just don’t know what you’re putting in your body. You don’t – no matter what it says on the bottle -how in the world do you really know if it’s good or bad?

The Best Part Of Following A Meal Plan

By Vince On July 5, 2009 2 Comments

This past we discussed that you need a nutritional template if you’re truly committed to having the healthiest and most attractive body possible.

A nutritional template just means, a meal plan.

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they need a SPECIAL PLAN designed to meet their individual needs and that is a MISTAKE, at first.

Eventually you can incorporate some more advanced nutrition techniques but if you’re not flaunting a ripped six-pack, right now, or exasperating all-day energy, you are probably swimming in water too deep.

You’ve Been Lied To diet-meal-plans

We’ve both been conditioned to believe that you need a nutrition plan different than everyone else. You’re right, partly.

You’ve been told to worry about calories, macronutrient rations and other advanced details in the beginning, which in my opinion is wasted energy.

Focusing on these details is like working on your finishing sprint in the marathon when you’re not even in shape to run 1 mile yet.

The best meal plan is based on balance and variety which is exactly catered to your physiological make up. You can’t get more personalized than that!

The TRUTH:

At the start, EVERYONE’S nutritional quest should begin at the same starting line.

Plainly put:

You Need A SIMPLE Nutritional Plan You Can Implement IMMEDIATELY, COMPLETE With The CORRECT, Foundational Nutritional Principles.

That’s why I we sold 1,894 copies of the “Designed-For-You” Meal Plans last week.  You can still join the 1,894 others who have already joined and on board to following a nutritional template as a starting line.

Click here:

http://www.NoNonsenseMealPlans.com

Members love these meal plans because they are so easy to implement your very next meal and continue until you have developed the habits necessary to see results so that you stay motivated and finally perfect your body and health.

The Best Part Of Your Own Meal Plan

There are no rules to follow, complex formulas, expensive supplements, ridiculous macronutrient ratios that you need to concern yourself with.

Everything is already DONE-FOR-YOU and designed-for-you.

Don’t get me wrong, once you get to being a few percent away from “camera-ready” and “contest-ready” shape, you’re going to have to incorporate some more advanced tricks but for now, it’s best you accept the 3-phase meal plans as the best place to start.

Can You Out-Train A Bad Diet?

By Vince On July 1, 2009 8 Comments

I just watched this hilarious video that hammered home a invaluable nutrition lesson.

I wish I had filmed this first but my two buddies Craig Ballantyne and Brad Pilon beat me to it. Empowered Nutrition coach, John Barban, was helping film the video too.

In the video Brad is out to PROVE to Craig the famous saying:

“You Can’t Out Train A Bad Diet!”

The two have a Pizza VS Cardio contest!

So Craig jumps on a treadmill and cranks it up to the absolute maximum speed with a slight incline (without falling off) and starts sprinting.

While Craig is busting his butt at 11.0 MPH, killing himself to lose fat, Brad is standing beside him consuming a box of pizza.

After about 3 minutes, Brad has consumed 800 calories (half a pizza) and Craig has burned 42 calories!

LOL!

Moral of the story – you CAN NOT out train a bad diet.

Where’s Your Nutritional Template?

What could buying a wedding suit have to do with losing body fat?

A lot more than you think.

Especially when it comes to fat loss nutrition.

This July I have three wedding to attend.  I’m going to watch six-pack author Arnel Ricafranca get married July 11th and then going to my girlfriends brothers wedding July 18th and then my cousins wedding July 25th!  And just TODAY another cousin of mine just got engaged!

No pressure eh?

So a few weeks ago I had to go shopping for a new wedding suit (mostly to impress my girlfriend and her family) and discovered some interesting similarities to help you BLAST YOUR FAT FASTER while shopping.

Prior to suit shopping I always believed that creating a custom tailored wedding suit was an extremely complex, ultra expensive and required an overly experienced and skilled tailor. Yet, I found a tailor who made the process SIMPLE.

I discovered that every custom suit begins with a SINGLE TEMPLATE. Over time the and multiple fitting and modifications, eventually the suit becomes exquisitely tailored.

My revelation can be plainly put,
the perfect suit begins as NOTHING
MORE than a one-size-fits all template.

Nutritional perfection (fat loss and muscle building), requires the same.

You need to begin with a simple, basic nutritional template and test it out; tweaking it according to the results you experience, and only you.

Only by beginning here can you arrive at the final destination – a perfect nutrition plan and eventually a perfect body.

There Is NO Magic Diet Plan

That includes our plan too.

As you have learned the past two weeks in our videos, there is no magic diet book or test or “eat right for your blood type” kind of solution.

In our combined twenty years of experience in the nutrition field, the best way you can get your best body ever is to follow a meal plan that is based on concrete nutritional principles plus your own informed trial-and-error.

In other words, you begin with a BASIC NUTRITIONAL PLAN, based on the best nutrition information available, test it and modify the nutritional plan based on if you’re gaining muscle or losing fat.

The problem is that the 90% of the nutrition info available is CONFUSING, CONTRADICTING and CONSUMING.

Which is completely unnecessary and ridiculous.

Getting the perfect body and perfect
meal plan must begin with an ORIGIN

If you’re not prepared to put in some time, effort, discipline and pay attention to a few details, then getting and keeping a rock hard body (forever) may NOT be in the cards for you.

Sorry.

But if you agree that you need a BASIC TEMPLATE that you can begin with from which to depart, a simple “done-for-you” template that start, test and modify (if even necessary).

Today I want to DIRECT YOU to the best FAT LOSS MEAL PLANS I’ve ever seen or used.

I wouldn’t recommend them to you if that were not true.

Today you can get the complete 3-phase system called, “Done-For-You” Fat Loss Meal Plans.

Every caloric amount is included. 84-days of variety for each plan. Grocery lists, delicious recipes and more.

Today is the first day of a 72-hour HALF-PRICE special because these plans just went LIVE today. I highly recommend you pick up your 84-day meal plans if you’re ready to lose your gut and love handles, starting your very next meal today.

The WORST Place To Look For Fat Loss Answers!

By Vince On June 22, 2009 58 Comments

In this video, John Barban, Pat McGuire and I take you into our local book store to show you just how confusing and contradictory the messages get in the diet and nutrition section.

It’s no wonder why we are all so consumed and frustrated with weight loss nutrition advice which prevents us from living in the body we deserve.

The nutrition section of the book store sounds like it would be the right place to get any answer on eating for fat loss right?

WRONG!

After watching this video, let us know your comments below and your feeling towards the confusing, contradicting and consuming weight loss world.
