 If you are anxious to get fat loss going, you’ve likely looked into the diet supplement, hoodia. Hoodia gordonii is a plant that was used in South African many years ago by hunters who would need to go for long durations of time without food and grows very slowly in harsh conditions and needs to be harvested for four to five years before it’s ready. 

 But how well does hoodia really work for fat loss?

  Many people turn to hoodia thinking it is the answer to all their prayers. Never hungry? Sounds like a dietary dream. After all, following a diet should be easy if you never have any feelings of hunger, shouldn’t it?

 Unfortunately, it isn’t so simple.

 First off, if you are a trying to get a lean, sexy midsection, not eating is the last thing you want to be doing. Sure, you definitely will need to eat less in order to lose body fat, but if you aren’t eating enough, you’ll actually just lose muscle rather than body fat. Since muscle tissue is your calorie burning engine, destroying it would be counterproductive to getting the results you want. (more…)

My mom makes the most amazing Christmas cake in the world; it’s been a tradition in our family for as long as I can remember. First, she mixes up a light, fluffy, vanilla cake mix, pours it into the pans and then pops it in the oven. After it’s been baked, she stacks the cake in two layers with whipped cream spread generously between each layer. She then pours on red and green Jell-O, which gets soaked up inside the cake. Next, whipped cream is smothered all the way around for frosting. And finally, she garnishes it with red and green sprinkles. A few red and green-striped candy canes are stuck in the top as the finishing touch, and off it goes to the refrigerator so it can be served chilled later.

 Now let me tell you, as a bodybuilder, I have a lot of discipline. But when that moist, delicious, red and green, Jell-O-filled, whipped-cream covered cake is sitting on the table in front of me on December 25th, it takes every ounce of my willpower to keep from calling it a “VERY high carb day” and devouring numerous very large slices.

Despite the temptation, I don’t “pig out” nor do I deprive myself. Instead, I’m content with eating my single piece, savoring every mouthwatering bite, all the while repeating my mantra, “Nothing tastes as good as being lean feels.”

The next day, on December 26th, (more…)

 The subject of menopause, male menopause and hormonal decline is a very important subject and has a direct bearing on your ability to burn off stubborn bodyfat. 

When your hormones are out-of-balance, your life is tossed into hopelessness, confusion and depression. Male or female, the problems exist for almost everyone over 30—loss of sex drive (and often sexual function), decreased energy, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, weight gain, and more.

This is what I call “Hormone Hell.”

The bad news is that this is ruining your life, making you feel old before your time, and creating unnecessary stress in your relationships. The even worse news is that this is the start of long-term health problems for many people—although you may not realize it because most doctors just treat the symptoms.

If you have stubborn bodyfat that just does not want to budge, you will find this free video helpful.

It’s only 16 minutes long and covers the connection between your “hormones” and bodyfat.

Not only bodyfat… Your sexual-drive, your energy, your mood, and of course issues like menopause, andropause (male menopause) and more.

Give it a look…

Hormones and bodyfat video

Just by taking some of Dr. Lucille’s advice (natural, without harmful drugs) you can kick-start your hormonal system back into overdrive and start burning off that stubborn bodyfat.

That’s the best way to end stubborn bodyfat and reboot your drive at the same time.

Let’s see what our expert Vince Delmonte has to say about do you need to do cardio to burn body fat.

Unless you have amazing genetics than you can probably eat whatever you want and do zero cardio and still have
ripped abs but lets leave those people out of the equation.

Fat is simply “stored energy’ and we need to burn that energy off our bodies. There is no “best” form of cardio because I have gotten ripped doing interval cardio, long and slow cardio and a mixture.  It all works and just depends on your fitness level, your time availability and what you prefer.

Personally I like to do long and slow cardio on an empty stomach in the early morning for about 45-60 minutes – this does not drain me for my weights later that day and it does not strip my muscle off.

In the evening, after my weights, I’ll do another 20-30 minutes of interval cardio or moderate intensity cardio to really dig out the fat.

My cardio regime might appear intense and my total training volume can be over 2 hours a day during the last 4 weeks before a show –  but realize that I progressed to this over time.  Did you get that? (more…)

People say to me Why do you train your abs like all other muscles?  This often confuses me why people seem to think that abs should be trained differently, you need to train your abs like other muscles! 

   Take a good look around the gym and I am sure like myself you see light weight skinny guys with hardly any body fat that still don’t have a set of six pack abs. This dispels the myth of low levels of body fat reveals abs. Have you ever stopped to wonder why, well the reason is you need to train your abs like all other muscles. Yes, to get thick rippled six pack abs you need to train your abs with the same principles that apply to getting wider shoulders, bulging biceps and thick pectorals.
That’s right overload, high intensity resistance weight training builds a defined ripped mid section. There are no different rules to train your abs so don’t let anybody tell you any different. Here are some ab building tips to implement in your ab workout routine: (more…)

Looking for inspiration well here is the the only way to get six pack abs video. Vince shows us exactly the determination and attitude that is required to build great abs with a catchy music background. If this doesn’t get you in the mood to blast away that unwanted body fat nothing will.
