Fat Burning, Weight Loss, Diet and Fitness Q&A of the Week-Acai Berry

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. Today's question was sent in via myspace in and it was regarding acai berry supplements.


Hello Coach,

I'm starting my Fat X project on Monday. I've watched the workout videos,downloaded the FX workout guide and have done my grocery shopping so I can stick to the Fat X diet. I'm wondering if it's OK or even worth it to take an acai berry supplement. I've seen acai berry advertised and it's supposed to help weight loss. What do you think about it?

Thanks,

Jackie


When it comes to supplementing your diet, I believe in a hierarchy that puts proven and time tested supplements at the top. The first of those is a protein supplement, then a multi mineral vitamin, followed by fish oils and if you want a proven metabolism booster, green tea in some form. Acai berry is a good anti-oxidant, but it has not been proven as a fat loss or fitness aid so I would skip it for now on stick to what has been proven and time tested.


If you've made up your mind and are planning on buying an acai berry supplement, take a look at my post Acai Berry Truth, a video by the Better Business Bureau is there.

(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..
