Fat Burning Foods or Just Healthy, Fitness Promoting Nutrition

I love scanning the magazine covers at the checkout areas of the supermarket - just to see what ‘hypey hooks’ are being used to get people to pick up the latest issue and buy it.
The hyped up hooks really never change - they just get recycled and re-used throughout the year - …year after year.
You might recognize some of these Hyped-Up, Fitness and Fat Loss Headlines:
- 2 Fruits That Burn Fat While You Sleep!
- New Vegetable Shrinks Fat Cells!
- Top 6 Foods That Block Fat Deposits!
- Lose 11 Pounds in 4 Days With This Soup!
- Shed the Flab With These 5 Juices!
- New Grain Reduces Fat Stores in Belly!
- 3 Foods That Literally Melt Cellulite!
Yeah - you know the headlines I’m talking about…
Now - here is the ‘Un-Hyped’ truth…
When you replace processed, high calorie, low nutrient foods - with minimally processed, high nutrient value foods - you are going to get health and fitness promoting benefits. The magical powers that created us and the universe we are a part of - also created THE perfect foods for optimal human existence.
The creation of perfect foods for optimal human existence is no accident. As a matter of fact - the foods that are produced by nature are as miraculous as the creation of me and you. Think about it…
Without food and water we die. With high quality food and water - we live long and healthy - generally speaking.
With low quality food and water - we can sustain life - but usually its a very low quality of life that usually ends more painfully and sooner than nature would prefer.
I talk more about this in the book - but for now - here is a list I put together for a client, recently, and I thought it would be great to make this available to you and the rest of the world - so here it is:
Here is the PDF version you can download and print to post in your kitchen or office, etc… =>Fitness Foods for Body Fat Reduction and Energy Enhancement
And here is the online version:
8 ‘Zero-Guilt’ Pre-Dinner, Grazing Snacks

Honestly, I’m tired of your marketing and sales pitches that LACK substance of any kind. If you’re going to send email news to me that say “look how to do this…” and then you give me a bunch of testimonials and some cheezy webpage build for sales and nothing else, then please don’t!
I’m frustrated because you “appear” to be giving real advice but upon further investigation, it’s all hot air getting to a sales pitch.
Yuk.

Joey, I have been useing your lower body work out dvd for about 3wks now about 3 times a week and mixing it up with cardio I am seening a difference in my butt and thighs and my waist and tummy are shrinking too, but… I want this process to go faster. I am excited to see where I will be in 6 months. I do have a question though… Its my lower leg area that concerns me my knees are chunky and my calves could use defining and I am the proud owner of “cankles” {ankles are almost as thick as my calfs) any suggestions??

I have been following your hip, butt and thigh exercise faithfully for the past two weeks, and I can already feel a difference, however, can you give me excercises to improve my stomach? It seems like it is a mass of flab and cellulite? Please help, I am desperate????

Hi Joey:
I’ve been supplementing my workouts with the Lower Body Makeover workouts and am very pleased. However, I’m more excited about 28 Day Blow Torch Diet. I’ve been following it for 2 weeks and I’m already down 6 pounds with 6 more to go. I have to say it’s the simplest, most stress-free food plan I’ve ever tried but more importantly, it works! It’s definitely a way of eating I can stick with for life. I love the “secret 7!”

Hi Joey,
I bought your workout cd and I’m dying to use it. However, I was diagnosed with a lumbar strain and a torn lower back muscle from lifting something heavy from the side. This was back on May 2nd. The doctor said I can resume my normal activities as long as it does not worsen the pain. I went to a chiropractor and he says I have one leg shorter than the other and I have a degenerated disc from this. I have to have a lift put in my shoe to prevent further damage to the disc. He said I shouldn’t work out for a while but I am starting to gain some weight. I want to start doing your dvd. Which one of your exercises can I do? Thank you!

Hi Michele - try the floor exercises - BUT go very lightly - and if you feel that something is not right - then back off a little. Try doing 5 reps only - of each floor exercise - then see how you feel the next day. Go from there.
If you have more questions - please post in the forum at BestFitnessAdvice.com - you should have gotten 2 weeks free when you bought the Leg, Butt, Hip and thigh Makeover.

Can you come to St. Thomas to work out with me?

DEAR JOEY,
I’VE BEEN SKINNY ALL MY LIFE. I CAN’T SEEM TO GAIN ANY WEIGHT. I HAVE ALOT OF BELLY FAT, SKINNY LEGS, AND A FLAT BUTT. I WANT TO LOOK AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF. I’VE BEEN CALLED EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK,FOR EXAMPLE, BAG OF BONES, WHICH REALLY LOWERED MY SELF-ESTEEM.
I’VE PURCHASED THE LEG, BUTT, HIP AND THIGH MAKEOVER DVD. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, ARE THE EXERCISES IN THE DVD, THE SAME EXCERCISE FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT AND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO GAIN WEIGHT?
WHAT FOODS SHOULD I EAT, THAT WOULD HELP ME GAIN WEIGHT?
HOW LONG BEFORE I CAN SEE RESULTS?
THANK YOU.
