Fat Burning, Weight Loss, Diet and Fitness Question of the Week

By
Every week I answer a question or questions that are sent in to me regarding fat burning, weight loss, diet, fitness and  or the Fat X program. This week's question was a response on youtube to the "How to Make a Protein Smoothie".  

Is protein for women also? Does it make you gain weight?

Protein is one of the three macro nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat) that the human body uses. Protein is primarily responsible for maintaining and building muscle. Women need protein as much as men do.

Any macro nutrient in excess will make you gain weight. The nice thing about protein is that it is the least likely of the macro nutrients to be stored as fat. Protein can actually help you lose weight because it takes your body more energy to break it down and use it. Protein can also help you lose weight because it feeds your muscle, and you have to remember that muscle will speed up your metabolism. Your metabolism burns calories all day, so the faster it is, the more calories you will burn throughout the day.

Here are two good protein supplements.

(Some fitness companies are not going to be happy with me.)

Advanced Tip for Better Workouts and Improved Results

Have you ever had a peanut butter and garlic sandwich?   Yeah, me neither! Peanut butter is delicious and so is garlic (used properly). But, while each is a good ingredient on its own, together they make for a disaster. You can view exercises and how they are implemented in a workout in the same way.  Think of exercises as ingredients. Exercises  can work well together like peanut butter and jelly, or, they can suck and waste your time and energy.   There’s a very important concept I learned many years ago that can improve your results, not only in fitness and any fitness goal such as fat loss, increasing strength, speed etc., but also in such things as cooking, music, art and many other realms of life.   What’s that concept?

Fat Burning Workout Program Day 3

By
This is one of my favorite fat burning workouts. It includes some of my favorite exercises. Don't let the pull ups intimidate you. You can use a pull down machine, or those rubber tubing exercise bands instead.   Included in this fat burning workout is one of the best, if not the best total abs exercise. It really works the abs hard and my clients usually have a love hate relationship with it. I call it the spin crunch, you'll see it towards the end of the free fat burning workout video..
