Welcome

Hi guys ,

I've been absent from the blog for awhile , but it's a new year and it's time to get it back online.  Let's make 2013 a great year where we can achieve everything we set our mind to.

I'd like to welcome all the HDTV podcast listeners to my blog.  If you have any questions, my email address is at the bottom of the page .

The thing about fitness, eating healthy. and working out in general is if you can make yourself keep going through those first couple of weeks  ,  it will become easier and you will love the energy you will have. 

2-4-13 is my start date for my next round of P90X.

Who's with me???

My Shakeology 3 day cleanse

Shakeology is designed to have as 1 meal a day to help you reach your fitness goals.  I am addicted to this stuff and I will be taking it as 1 meal/day  for a long time.  The , energy increases and less cravings are my favorite things about the shake(not to mention the taste which I love). 


They have came up with a 3 day cleanse to help jumpstart your weight loss plan or to just get you past a plateau in your current workout.
 Below is my 3 day cleanse experience that I just completed.



I just completed the 3 day cleanse and I thought I would write an entry and let you know how it went.   I went into the 3 day cleanse a little skeptical, not knowing how I would do with just one solid meal a day.   Here's how I did.


Day1   :    Between breakfast and lunch the first day, I did get a little hungry.   After I had my shake for lunch though I felt full and re-energized  and  was great until I had another shake that afternoon.  I had supper once I got home from work and was fine until I went to bed.

Day 2  :   I felt less hungry the second day, with energy throughout the day.   


Day 3:    Had a very busy day at work, but my energy levels were up and felt full all day.

By the end of the 3rd day, although I had not had any problem sticking to the plan,  my body was ready for some real food.
 So I can see why they recommend not doing this for any longer than 3 days.


At the end of the 3 day cleanse I had lost 6 lbs.


If you want to give it a try, they have a 30 day risk free trial.   After you have used your months supply and decide it's not for you, you can send it back for a full refund.

Here's a link to my website myshakeology.com/chrismorris

Let me know if you have any questions.

Shakeology

I wanted to introduce you guys to what I think is the best nutrition you can get .


If you replace 1 meal a day with a Shakeology,  it will help boost your weight loss.

It's not only for weight loss though.  You get more energy, better digestion , plus all the daily recommended vitamins and minerals in one great tasting shake.

I have a big sweet tooth, so I like to take my shake later in the day when I mostly have my cravings.    It taste like a dessert, but only has 140 calories and the best thing it fills you up and you're no longer craving anything.

Check out the video below from a couple post back.

If you've never heard of Shakeology,  here's a video explaining what it is and the benefits.

Laws of simple nutrition

I thought I would pass on some excellent nutritional advice from a friend of mine.  These are some great rules to live by.

 

Subject: LAWS OF SIMPLE NUTRITION by Mike French

People are over thinking their nutrition and making it overly complicated. Your nutrition should be basic, simple and workable for a lifetime. Not something you do for 90 days and then switch to something else.

You notice I NEVER use the word DIET. DIET gives the impression that its not a lasting way of eating. I prefer to say LIFETIME NUTRITION. That being said, let's get right into it!

We all need to find the amount of calories and nutrient values (grams of protein, carbs, and healthy fats) that supports our Fitness efforts and goals. I call it

WALKING YOUR OWN PERSONAL NUTRITIONAL TIGHT ROPE
Here is what works best for me:

1. 2000 calories per day

2. 1 gram of Protein per pound of body weight

3. 150-175 grams of Carbohydrates

4. No limit on Healthy Fats

5. 3/4 to a gallon of water per day

6. Nutritional Ratios ~ 35% Protein, 30% Carbs, 34% Healthy Fats

Here are my basic LAWS OF SIMPLE NUTRITION:

1.) PROTEIN ~ The most important nutrient for building muscle & strength.
MIKE'S LAW ~ 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. No more than 200 grams maximum for men and 150 grams for women. Your body simply doesn't need more than that. 35% of my daily intake.

2.) HEALTHY FATS ~ Healthy Fats are needed by the body for energy, vitamin absorption, healthy skin, and necessary bodily functions. The various health benefits including reducing the risk of developing heart disease, Alzheimer's, depression, and cancer.
MIKE'S LAW ~ I don't recommend tracking or trying to control your fat intake as long as you are consuming only HEALTHY Fats such as the following:


1. Fish ~ I don't eat any fish at all, so I consume a Fish Oil Supplement every day.

2. Almonds - My favorite! I eat a serving of 24 almonds, every day.

3. Avocados

4. Flaxseed

5. Olives and olive oil

6. Peanuts and peanut butter - 5 ounces of nuts per week reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by 35 percent. Another food that Tami and I consume every day.

7. Sunflower seeds

8. Walnuts: Have the highest levels of omega-3 fats.

Healthy Fats make up 35% of my daily Nutritional Intake.

3.) CARBOHYDRATES ~ They provide the body with fuel it needs for physical activity and for proper organ function, and they are an important part of a healthy diet.

MIKE'S LAW ~ I choose complex carbs in moderation. I eat all of the vegetables that I can (SHAKEOLOGY bails me out here!) I eat fruit every day. As long as you account for your fruit in your carb totals for the day you are good. Don't worry about the "Natural sugars" in fruits. Its natures candy, eat your fruit! Carbohydrates comprise 30% of my daily Nutritional Intake. (150-175 grams per day)

4.) WATER ~ Our bodies are comprised of 60 percent water. Your body depends on water. Water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

MIKE'S LAW ~ I drink 3/4 of a gallon of water every day without fail. Some days a little more, some a little less. When I don't take in enough water, I can feel the difference.

5.) SUPPLEMENTS ~ Natural dietary supplements help us overcome nutritional deficiencies.
MIKE'S LAW ~ Supplements should be used to FILL IN THE GAPS of a healthy nutrition strategy.

Many folks try to use supplements to compensate for poor nutrition. This is a mistake. Think of your supplements like metabolic insurance for your healthy nutrition.
SHAKEOLOGY is by far the BEST supplement I have ever used. It provides protein, carbs, fiber, and an amazing array of vitamins, minerals ans other Super Foods.

My personal Supplementation includes:

1. Beachbody SHAKEOLOGY
2. Beachbody Activit Multi Vitamin/Mineral Formula
3. Beachbody Joint Support Formula
4. Beachbody Core Omega 3

Don't over think your Nutrition folks. Its not anything mystical or scientific. Keep it simple, enjoyable, and workable for the rest of your life.

However, consider this: If this were a large franchise offering an opportunity to own your own business, you might consider it. If it cost $100,000 to start, you'd have to ask yourself, "What if it doesn't work?".


At just $39.95, most people ask themselves, "What if this DOES work?" It's not by luck that you will succeed at this business. If you work your business as if you've invested $100,000, you can succeed by your efforts and the proven business model presented to you through training and support.
