1. High Fat and High Carb Foods Foods that are high in fat and carbs promote high blood pressure levels, increased fat storage, decreased carbohydrate conversion, and erratic insulin levels. So what types of foods can cause these problems? Well, for starters all fried foods, sugar glazed foods such as donuts, pasta's covered in sauces, most restaurant foods, and nearly all fast foods. 2. Fruit Juices And Sodas Processed fruit juice is normally only 5% real juice and 95% sugar. Since when is that much sugar a good thing? And really, did you think we were going to endorse drinking sodas? These drinks pack a ton of calories without any health benefit whatsoever. It is better to fresh squeeze your own juices and drinks, or better yet, just stick to good-old-fashioned water. 3. Candy Yeah, let's just jack our insulin levels up real bad. When your insulin levels spike you get hungry, and when you get hungry, you eat more calories than necessary... generally, processed foods which ...

Muscle, muscle, muscle, it's that magical body tissue that can make you stronger, it's the x-factor in creating a body that make women swoon. Muscle is what some of the best physiques in the world have, and what the "needs improvement" physiques covet. So many people yearn to know how to gain muscle fast. With magazines, websites, and other media touting these "to die for" physiques, it's hard not to get pulled in. But when I look at some of the professional bodybuilding magazines, I think that some of the guys I see are bigger than I'd ever want to even think about being. Looking at the classic pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank Zane and some of the greats, I still admire the way they look! They're big, no doubt, but they still look human to me. Seeing the progression of the pro bodybuilder makes me wonder just how much muscle is too much muscle??? Different people have different ideas of how much muscle they want to pack onto their resp...

If you regularly hit the gym in order to build muscle, you will no doubt be constantly on the look out for good sources of protein. It's an endless, ongoing battle to find a good quality protein source with every small meal and if you follow popular advice, you're looking at doing this six times a day. No doubt you'll have come across the protein sources listed below, but they serve as a good reminder that they really are the best sources of protein available. Chicken Breasts . Chicken is arguably the most popular source of protein available. It's tasty, versatile and absolutely heaving with good quality protein. An average chicken breast will offer you a very generous 30g of protein and the cherry on the top - they hardly have any fat. The only downside to chicken is that it can get quite expensive, especially if you insist on free range (like you should). Tuna.  Tinned Tuna flakes and tuna steaks are another perfect source of high quality protein. It does have its d...

Finally a straight forward ideal fitness system training program that helps you maintain a commitment to a realistic attainable fitness workout that allows you to find an effective, long lasting way to keep your mind and willpower in check. I was working out at our community center gym in my hometown awhile back and I notice this younger man was watching me go through my weight lifting routine and I could tell he wanted to ask me something so I said to him "whats on your mind"? He explained to me that he was curious about my workout routine and noticed that I seemed to be doing thing in a specific order (which I was) and wanted to know if he could follow me and do my exact routine in which I replied "please do". The next day he showed up and proceeded to go through my daily workout routine with me, asking questions from time to time about why I did things a certain way. I explained to him that I work out 5-6 days a week taking a day off as needed during my workout...

You're probably wondering, "What exactly are these mista...

There seems to be little debate as to the benefits of whey protein. It helps in building muscle, protects the body against illnesses such as blood pressure and cancer, helps in battling degenerative illnesses, is used by expecting mothers for their child's development, and can help promote weight loss. Certainly this is an impressive list of positive uses of the product for many people. But with all health benefits of whey protein and what it has going for it, are there any dangers inherent with a product that can be so influential on the human body? The four areas of major concern by most health experts are: 1. Potential for osteoporosis. Though never been proven, it is known that the consumption of high levels of protein may lead to an imbalance of minerals in the bones. This could have an effect on bone mineral density, eventually causing osteoporosis. 2. Kidney function. Many experts caution there is a risk to the kidneys with the protein, but this, as well, is somewhat circu...
