Food is AS addictive chemically as DRUGS.

Posted on July 16, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 0
That’s an oversimplified version of
the new study, conducted at York
University at Toronto, but…
Yeah. That’s the gist.
And it’s specific TYPES of foods…
although that was not part of this
study. That was part of another
study done in 2004 on sugar.
Before I go over the highlights,
let me just say this:
—–>  I was an addict. A food addict.
But not every obese person is
“addicted” to food. That’s the
bright shinny lining in this new
and weird little study.
There are TWO ways around
this food addiction issue:
1. Detox your system; cleanse it
from processed foods and sugar
by adopting a dietplan like this:
2. Try your hardest to “cut back”
on your own.
Good luck with that second thing.
I am a FIRM believer in having a
set plan. The Solution Plan I gave
you above is not even my own…
but I know it works great for those
who have intense food cravings.
And it works great for general fat-
loss as well. ; )
So, here’s the study. Let me know
what you think:
Dr. Davis (et. al) from York University
recruited 72 obese men and women,
ages 25 to 45, and gave them a
questionnaire.
This questionnaire was designed to
identify people addicted to drugs
or alcohol. (That part is important.)
Developed by Yale University drug
researchers, this addiction “scale”
focuses on seven symptoms. One
of these symptoms is “trying to quit
without success.”
The researchers made one small
change on the questionnaire:
They replaced the word “drugs” with
the word “food.”
Of the 72 obese people in Davis’s
study, 18 were pegged as “addicts” –
only their substance of abuse was
FOOD, not drugs or alcohol.
That’s 25%. Wow.
Granted, this was a small test sample,
but from years and years of dealing
with thousand of people, I can tell
you that 25% is on the LOW side.
I’d bet 35% or even higher is more
likely, especially if the subjects are
eating processed foods (chips and
cookies are the worst) — or sugar.
Sugar is one of the most addictive
substances on the planet. Simply
switching to honey makes a huge
difference in cravings, btw.  <== TIP
Whether your obese or not… or
whether you’re an “addict” or not…
there is PLENTY of hope.
It starts with a plan. And the reason
I’m sharing my good friend Isabel’s
Plan with you today is because she’s
so awesome at RELATING to being
really overweight.
And now she’s not only fit… she’s
actually TINY.
I could not believe her ‘before’ pic.
Then I got to know her, and yeah…
it’s totally legit. Amazing.
See it here:
One Mom’s Solution To Food Addiction <— Read more about Isabel
So, a Plan is required… but one
more thing makes ALL the difference:
SUPPORT.
Once again, props to Isabel’s team
for really offering great support during
the transition phase from cutting down
on the junk food to finally eating the
foods you KNOW you need to eat…
Dare I say… even LOVING them?

5 surprising ways to MELT more fat (quick tips)

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 11

Here are 5 tried, tested and proven tips for zapping da FAT:

TIP 1
Ditch The Starch

Starches, such as rice, potatoes, some veggies, oats, etc. are
often considered “health foods.”

While they can be healthy, they can also pack on stomach body fat
like crazy if you overdo them.

As you may know, my “Every Other Day Diet” System (EODD) actually
encourages you to eat starches and even sweets several days a week
to get rid of excess weight:

http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/eodd <— click it

Well… how does THAT work?

Simple:  Timing is everything.

And we take a “weekly” approach to foods rather than a daily
approach. This keeps your metabolism guessing. If your body
cannot figure out what you’re up to, fat burning is that much more
powerful. And you can get by with eating starches… at least a
specific times on specific days.

But if you’re not going to do EODD, then you’ll have to wing it.
And the best way to wing it is to simply cut starches out entirely
for 4-8 weeks. Then slowly add them back a few days per week.

This is no where near as effective (or as fun) as the EODD method,
but it will get you pointed in the right direction.

TIP 2
Can The Sodas

This one is really hard for me. I’ve been hooked on diet-soda on
and off for years. When I go to get into top shape (like I am now)
I have to get rid of the diet-sodas… yes, DIET-sodas. Need I say
“real” sodas too? They are loaded with sugar.

Why diet-sodas? A recent study revealed that people who drank
diet-sodas actually increased body fat when compared to those who
drank sugar-sodas. What the… ??

Yep. Your body cannot be fooled by aspartame and chemicals. Sorry,
but that’s the truth.

Here’s a personal story:  When I cut out the diet-sodas my body fat
drops like a rock in a pond of clear water.

And that’s what you need to be drinking:  A quart of pure water per
50 lbs of body weight a day.

I mix it with lemon and a bit of Stevia (an herbal sweetener) and
make lemonade. It’s wonderful!

TIP 3
Stay Hungry

Arnold’s first movie was “Stay Hungry” (well, after “Pumping Iron”
that is). You cannot rest on your butt and stay hungry. You cannot
think you’ve “arrived” and stay hungry.

It takes a special person to be hungry… and an even greater one
to stay that way.

I want you to stay hungry in two ways:  In how you workout and
literally… stay a bit hungry before you go to bed. Not
“starving”… just a bit hungry.

For your workouts, I have a great solution. If you pick up EODD
you’ll get a limited shot at “7 Minute Body”… my combination of
“7 Minute Muscle” and “The 7 Minute In-Home Workout” in one book…
and for more than half off… but that’s a very limited deal. Gotta
have EODD… you’ll need them both…

http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/eodd <– my favorite foods diet plan

You see, progression — “forced” progression — is the best way to
stay hungry. 7 Minute Body forces you to progress without thinking
about it. Progression is built into the System.

As far as staying hungry at night? Check with your doctor and if
he/she okays it take 500mg of potassium and 1000mg of
magnesium/calcium a few hours prior to bed. This helps with the
hunger pangs. Also, keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. If you get
really hungry, eat one with half the yolk (toss the other half.) It
keeps me full for an hour at least.

TIP 4
Cardio Clarity

Hours and hours of cardio a day is not the answer. However, you can
do “light” cardio (i.e. brisk walking, or riding the bike at 60% of
your max) just to burn off calories. That’s okay… and personally
I don’t find it that boring if I’m watching a TV show. It does not
interfere with my main fat loss exercise (weight training… YES!)
and it burns off about 400 calories an hour.

What does work is early morning fasting cardio… but you only need
9-15 minutes. I explain the GXP Protocol (Modified) in the 7 Minute
Body book, available only if you pick up EODD, and you can get it
at more than half off:

===>  http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/eodd

TIP 5
Get Raw At Night

Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help
your fat burning along. I started with red peppers because they’re
sweet. Now I eat virtually every veggie raw at night without
thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fat loss is well worth it.

How I Lost 11 lbs… while on vacation?

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 1

It absolutely was the strangest thing …

I’m talking about, I’ve been known you understand? I’ve experienced pretty much every system and fat loss practical experience you can imagine… the best, unhealthy, the unsightly…

… and today the truly strange.

Here’s the storyline:

I had taken off upon an 8-day luxury cruise on the Caribbean. It was a “small business” luxury cruise (sure, right)… and that i realized there is not a way you can eat exactly how I like to eat. At the very least not preferably. Next I needed to talk in Tampa bay Fl at the health and fitness summit, then to Vegas for another summit conference.

All-in-all I had been absent for nearly 3 weeks.

Very first thing i realized needed to go was my “excellent” diet plan.

That’s my “Severe” Work toward the Almost Daily Diet plan…

click.here———-> http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/go/joeyd255/eodd

There are actually 3 programs in EODD:  The Primer Program, which happens to be pretty much “every other day”. You’re able to eat your preferred food within just reason each and every other day perhaps with this Program. It’s excellent for individuals who ‘hate’ going on a diet simply because, let’s face the facts, now you can diet-for a day, right? Correct.

Then there’s the life-style Programs. These are a couple of days of “burn off feeding on” and then a working day of consuming favorite food. The majority of people take advantage of this since it also is very easy to use.

Then for we sports athletes and physical fitness experts there’s the ultimate Program. This program is for best body fat burning and muscle-shaping. I really like this treatment plan.

But hello… it’s a getaway. Therefore i made a decision to feed on around the Primer Program… don’t forget, that’s every second day. So every second day on the luxury cruise I had a little treat (from time to time two), lasagna, or spaghetti… whichever I want to within just rationale. The days and nights just before I did so properly, replacing my early morning protein shake for egg white omelets with a little bit of Parmesan cheese and lots of vegetables. Yum!

Within just 3 days I’d Dropped over 4 pounds… or about 2 kilo. Pure body fat… well, some drinking water Perhaps, but primarily that persistent body fat all over my midsection that’s the very last to go.

What happening?

Hang on… situation becomes much better…

I go onto Tampa bay, and after that Los Vegas, and today I’m 11 pounds (about 5 kg) down. My bluejeans ALL have to have a belt, only this time around it’s not much of a fashion statement.

Honestly, I’m as surprised given that be.

However I discovered why this took place. And I have to discuss it together with you so that you can use EODD (or any other program if you would like… but my own is the better… : ) when you’re on family vacation or have a break.

Here’s why I dropped the very last little bit of my body fat:

First, I had been on the Huge luxury cruise ship. I understood my weight lifting wouldn’t be as strong (the dumbbells weren’t that heavy) however i also believed I really could just have great results… train a little more and opt for the “push”… merely a great, speedy work out. I wound up exercising 5 nights on the vacation cruise without having a difficulty (and just 1 day of cardio exercise for 25 minutes… the truth is, you don’t need cardio exercise to get rid of body fat!)

Nevertheless the difference is in the Going for walks. The ship was the greatest ever constructed… the length of 2.5 football fields. So I traveled all over the place… around the Hawaiian islands, on the ship, even going to each meal. Just walking shed A lot more unhealthy calories than my regular way of life, which like the majority of individuals has lots of sitting down to the crunch. ; )

Going for walks… my personal favorite “Cardio exercise” to this present day.

———————————————————————-|

My Health supplement Techniques

———————————————————————-|

Second, I got more potassium, combined with my Revolutionary Fat loss Formula Dietary supplements. I transported every one of them aboard.

Read much more about the dietary supplements I require “significant” fat loss below:

http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/go/joeyd255/eodd

The two that truly have been effective for me personally was the Aqualize (also called Acquacil), only 1-2 per day, combined with the proteins.

Last but not least, I seen that I require Much more foods than I’m consuming now to be able to boost my metabolism. Just a little… about 400 calories per day a lot more than I’ve been consuming. Doing that restarted my metabolism and presto… 11 lbs of body fat and inadequate drinking water is historical past. My ab muscles haven’t looked better.

Hopefully this provides you some motivation when looking at being while traveling or away. Using the proper program (like EODD and Radical Fat loss) you can in fact transform your entire body…

… and on top of that, I relished each and every moment of my family vacation!

Yours In Fitness,

4 Common But Useless Fattburning Exercises

Posted on June 15, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 18

You may be wasting your time in the gym or at home if you are trying to shape your body or get rid of body fat.

Most people are. That is when it comes to exercise for getting rid of belly fat and getting into better shape.

I was in the gym today (nothing new… ; ) and I saw all 4 of these exercises being performed by various gym members (again… nothing new.)

And they are useless for 99% of the people on the planet.

Here they are…

——————————

USELESS EXERCISE 1: Walking Dumbbell Lunges

Okay ladies, this one is for you… although I see guys do this exercise as well.

This is where you take a pair of dumbbells and kneel with one leg, then the other, and so-on, walking around the gym as you go.

The idea behind this exercise is to work the butt, and to some extent the thighs… but it’s a joke. It’s something invented by trainers who should know better.

If you want to build and tone your butt, exercise one leg at a time. Lunges are a great exercise for this, but save your energy. Do them on a Smith Machine or with a barbell. Work one leg at a time, too. Do not alternate legs. This just wears you out aerobically before it has a chance to get to your gluts.

Here’s how I perform lunges:  On a Smith Machine, with pretty heavy weights… one leg at a time. I will do 2-3 sets, or do them in my 7 Minute Body-style workout fashion. I will finish one leg (and one butt cheek) before moving to the other leg.

Why? Again, to focus on the muscle more intensely and to avoid turning a leg/butt workout into a cardio session.

Jon Benson covers exactly how to work the butt area for the best results in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle, found right here:

USELESS EXERCISE 2:  The Sit-up

I’m shocked that people still think sit-ups done the old-fashioned way actually work the abs. Even worse, most people have been fooled into believing this actually helps get rid of belly fat.

Nonsense. Belly fat is burned off when you have a good nutrition plan and through general exercise, not using exercises for the abs. Ab exercises are fine, but guess what?

I never train my abs more than 3-5 minutes. Today my ab workout took 3 minutes and 12 seconds to complete. And my abs are sore!

But without the nutrition plan, forget it… I’d never SEE my abs at all. I’d just have a nice wall of muscle with a bunch of flab covering it up.

The best nutrition plan for abs is The Every Other Day Dietplan, found here:

The best exercises to do for the actual ab muscles are hanging leg raises, done slowly, crunches (if you do them right)… and that’s really all you need.

USELESS EXERCISE 3:  The Bench Press

I’m going to get a lot of flack from the guys out there who love to bench, but I’m here to tell you that this exercise for body shaping is all but worthless.

Why? Because most people are not built right body-wise to bench press on a flat bench with a barbell. I am not, that’s for sure.

Bench presses work if you have short arms, a relatively short torso, and your shoulders are genetically strong.

Protect your shoulders and really work your chest by doing incline dumbbell presses with your palms facing OUT, not in toward your head. This protects the rota tor cuff, a part of the shoulder that is often injured using barbell bench presses.

Combine this with a good cable fly or press movement and you’re set. Again, you only need about 7-14 minutes of chest work tops to get the job done.

USELESS EXERCISE 4:  Most Cardio Exercises

Yep… saved the best for last.

Here’s a fact:  Most cardio (bike, treadmill, glider, whatever) is a waste to time… UNLESS you do it at the right time with the right nutrition plan.

The calories you burn from cardio will be easily negated simply by eating a bagel! Hardly effective for getting rid of bodyfat. Weight training and/or resistance training at home or with your body weight, as covered in 7 Minute Muscle, is your best bet for exercise that burns-off mega-calories and keeps on burning long after the exercise session is over.

Here’s how to use traditional cardio wisely:

1. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach;
2. Keep your heart rate down to 75% of your max (220 minus your age x .75 will give you this number, at least approximately);
3. “Burst” for 2-3 minutes in your session up to 85-90% of your max heart rate.
4. OR, do cardio right after weight or resistance training when your heart rate is already elevated and your blood sugar is lower. Your body burns blood sugar first during exercise.

Cardio for most people only needs to be performed 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes. The only time I break this rule is when I want to get my body fat below 10%. Then I will do more, but only using the rules above.

Hope this saves you a ton of time with your workouts.

Enjoy your holidays!

10 Fatloss Questions You Should Be Asking ( Part 1 )

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 0

There’s stuff you know.

Then there’s stuff you don’t know.

But the key to success in anything is the discovery of one other variable:

The things you don’t know you don’t know.

Think about that.

So many people ask me questions like…

– How can I get rid of my stubborn body fat?
– How fast can I do it?
– What’s the best diet plan for me?

These are good questions, don’t get me wrong.

But there are at least 10 questions most people never know to ask.

It’s the stuff they didn’t know they didn’t know… make sense?

Today we’ll cover 3 of the 10…

HIDDEN QUESTION 1:
“What’s The Best Dietary-Fat To Eat To Get Rid Of Body fat?”

Sounds nutty, doesn’t it?

The media loves to deceive you when it comes to dietary fats… and I’m here to set the record straight:

You absolutely must consume dietary fat in order to burn-off your body fat.

There’s an old saying: “Fat burns…but in the presence of dietary-fat.”

It’s true.

There are actually two “Best Fats” you should be eating:

Coconut Oil
CLA

Coconut oil is ideal to cook with. Use that in place of all the starchy foods you may be eating. You’ll get leaner faster… and you’ll be a ton more healthy too.

Coconut oil keeps you satisfied longer, lubricates your joints, and yes… actually helps you get rid of stubborn body fat.

Use 1 tablespoon per 50 lbs per day, but be sure to decrease your starchy carbs (breads, rice, potatoes, etc.)

CLA is a form of (gasp!) trans fat… but it’s a healthy form that helps your body get rid of body fat. You can only get it in supplement-form… well, that’s the best way.

I personally take 4 grams per day. Jarrow is my favorite brand. You can get it at most health food stores.

I cover several other fats you need to eat in my video and book, found here:

http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/go/joeyd255/eodd <– Click-Here HIDDEN QUESTION 2: “Why Is Cardio Bad For Me?” Okay… that’s an over-statement. It’s not ‘bad’ for you… it’s just not nearly as ‘good’ for you as the media and magazines want you to believe. Especially if you do it the way they suggest: Too long, too frequently. Do it the way I suggest and watch what happens. First, spend 80% of your exercise time doing ‘resistance’ training, not cardio… but rest very brief between sets. My newest update to “7 Minute Muscle” is called “7 Minute Body”. It combines both “7 Minute Muscle” and an additional 100 or so pages of in-home ONLY workouts. That way you can train in the gym… or in your home… and get it done in 7 to 14 minutes a day. Done! You will be shaping your body and burning-off some major calories at the same time… all without boring cardio. Then when you “do” cardio, do it the way I detail in “7 Minute Body”… use the 9-minute GXP Cardio Workout. Add simple walking to this several days a week and your cardio is set. GXP works because it is progressive and does not over-tax the recovery system. You warm up, then hit about 85% of your max effort, then cool down. But the key is ‘when’ to do it… and that’s covered in my book. I still enjoy sitting on my bike and watching TV, but I do that just to burn-off those last bits of body fat. Most of you do not need to do this. It’s a waste of time for the masses… but resistance training is not. Oh, one more thing: Runners have a far higher degree of heart attacks than non-runners. So cardio ‘can’ be bad for you if you over-do it. NOTE: You can pick up “7 Minute Body” at 77% off… but only if you get EODD… More here: http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/go/joeyd255/eodd <– Click-Here HIDDEN QUESTION 3: “How Does Pizza Help Me Shed Body fat?” Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Think again. My dietary plan not only “lets” you eat pizza (or whatever your favorite foods might be) every week, several times a week… it DEMANDS that you do it. What the…. ? Yep. Here’s why. First, I have you eat less on certain days and certain times. If done the way I suggest your metabolism (the rate you use fat, energy, etc.) will not slow down that much. Then… at a specific time… boom! You eat a lot more food… and the best way to do this is eating your favorite foods. First, they usually have more calories.. duh! Second, you’ll ENJOY the freakin’ process! Most “diets” fail because people hate them… too restrictive. So I created my System from the ground up to ensure I never got bored with my eating… and the extra calories from pizza (or my favorite… Mexican… or Key Lime Pie… yum) actually boosts my metabolism sky-high. Here’s an example: Last week I ate the normal Every Other Day Diet-way… for me it’s the “Extreme Plan” (there are 4 Plans, each for different goals.) So, after several days of lower-cal, lower-carb eating, I ate about 5000 calories of Mexican food (so good!) But the TIMING is crucial. You just can wing it. Don’t worry… I tell you exactly when to do it. The next morning I saw more of my abs. I went back to EODD-style eating, which I love btw… and then later had some Key Lime Pie… and what do you know? Leaner the next day. Now I’m doing this as I “peak” — I have to be in top shape in December. The only time I stop this is 4 weeks prior to a photo shoot… but unless you want to be 5% bodyfat (and you probably do not) you never have to stop it. Works like a charm.

3 “Rebel” Fatloss Tricks

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 0

You know what?

I like “weird.”

I’ve always been a bit on the fringe side of the fence if you know what I mean.

A bit of a rebel.

So were guys like Einstein, Mozart, and Picasso. Not that I’m putting myself into their category of genius by any stretch… but I love their approach to life.

BE BOLD…OR GO HOME.

Makes sense to me. This life it too darn short for anything less than being bold.

That means taking some risks here and there. That means taking action while the others are content to sit on the couch being the same person they were yesterday.

And the day before…

And the month before…

And the year before.

Do you want to live your years like that? Or do you want to dive into life? Be the greatest “you” possible?

Then be a bit of a rebel.

Here’s some “rebel tips” for fatloss I think you’ll enjoy…

REBEL TIP 1
Flip The Food Pyramid Upside-down

The USDA’s Food Pyramid is an utter joke. It’s origins stink up the joint, let me tell you.

First, the grain industry was in a pinch when the Food Pyramid was created. And wouldn’t you know it… the grain industry increased their “contributions” (read: bribes) to certain politicians to get placement atop the pyramid… or in this case at the very bottom. The “foundation” if you will.

Just think about this for a moment:

The USDA wants you to eat (gasp) MORE starch than vegetables? More bread than fruits, lean meats, and hormone-producing fats?

Are they NUTS??

Yes… they are nuts. (Which, by the way, are no where near the foundation… nuts, that is.)

You’d be better off flipping the sucker upside-down.

That would look like this:

40% of your cals from healthy fats 30% of your cals from protein 30% of your cals from carbs

Roughly, that is.

Sounds… rebellious, right?  Well it is.

Too bad I have the science (and the abs) to back it up.

If you want a system laid out for you, then go here:

http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/go/joeyd255/eodd <– click.

REBEL TIP 2
Cardio Is Not Smart-ee-o

At least the way the so-called “experts” want you to do it.

Look: This isn’t rocket science. Just walk into any gym…take a look at the folks who only do cardio work for 45-60 minutes every day.

Do they look any different from year to year?

Let me save you some time:  NO. They do not.

Cardio (unless you are into endurance sports) is a waste of energy done this way. First, it increases your carbohydrate cravings. For most people that’s not a good thing. Why? Because cardio at this pace burns mostly SUGAR, not bodyfat.

What do you want to burn?

Exactly. Bodyfat.

Finally, cardio is no where near as efficient as resistance training at dissolving bodyfat… and certainly not even CLOSE to resistance training when it comes to shaping lean muscle and getting the look all these cardio bunnies are after.

Now, I ‘do’ have a rebel cardio trick… and it takes 9-15 minutes 2-3 times a week to perform.

That’s it. And you get ALL the benefits heart-wise of long-session cardio.

Combine that with some brisk walking and my overall fitness plan and presto: No more bodyfat.

Here’s what is cool:  I put my new in-home version of this resistance-based workout online for a few days at a major discount… but it’s only for people who pick up this:

http://www.jonbensonfitness.com/go/joeyd255/eodd <– click.

This is completely illustrated with photos too… and you do not need anything but resistance bands and perhaps some cheap dumbbells to do this in-home. Or you can use the gym-based workouts (included with videos.)

Train like this just 3-5 days a week and you can kiss long, boring cardio goodbye.

REBEL TIP 3
Do Not Overwork Your Abs

Here’s a mistake I see most people make in the gym: They do endless sets of crunches, leg raises, and (gasp again) sit-ups… all geared toward seeing those toned abs they want.

Guess what?

Waste of time.

In fact, it’s worse than that… it can literally shut down your recovery ability. You’ll slow your progress in the gym (or at home)… and your fat-burning too.

And you may give up your plan entirely because of it.

Here’s the brutal truth:  Ab ‘muscles’ are easy to build. It only takes about 3 minutes 2-3 times a week… that’s it.

( Note: I included my “3 Minute Abs” in the fitness book I just told you about… it’s only for those who get EODD though… )

The muscles are not what make your stomach flatter… it’s the nutrition plan folks.

You’re just building muscle underneath layers of bodyfat… not good.

I do very little direct ab training. When I do it’s usually 3-5 minutes tops 2 days a week. And my abs are… well… good. : )

I rely on resistance training and my special “favorite foods dietplan” to get and stay lean.

So be a rebel.

Thumb your nose at the establishment and step out on your own.

Trust me: You’ll be a leader in every sense of the word if you do.

“Now THIS is interesting…”

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 1

Have you ever started out to do one thing but ended up doing something different?

Night and day different?

Remember how Post-It Notes were invented?

Some guy was trying to come up with a “permanent” glue.

Obviously he failed… and he considered it a failure… but 3M had another idea.

The guy was all of a sudden Joe Brilliant.

Well, I’m feeling a bit like Joe today.

But this is much more interesting to you than Post-It Notes…

It’s about s – e – x… sorta.

Not dirty, I’m talking about couple’s stuff here.

My new book just came out today about it.

But it didn’t start off that way at all.

In fact … get this… I was co-writing a book with medical researcher Frank Mangano on lowering blood pressure without meds… really.

So how did this big U-turn occur?

Okay, okay…. funny, true story:

I read this article from a medical journal about how “lowering blood pressure would help sexual-performance-problems.”

Ding. The lightbulb went off in my head.

You see, lowering blood pressure is probably the most healthy thing you can do for yourself.

But face it — it’s really, really BORING.

I mean, who really cares about their blood pressure unless their doctor says, “Look, lower your blood pressure or you’ll die in six months.”

Then you care.

Are you with me?

I’m right and we all know it.

Heck, I was the same way.

I ignored my blood pressure for years until it hit stroke-level back in my 30s.

Then I could no longer ignore it.

I found every natural alternative possible… which led me to Frank’s books… and they are the BEST.

So Frank comes to me and asks me to contribute to his very popular on-the-shelf book “The Blood Pressure Miracle” –

… and I said,

“Hey, guess what I just read?”

Since he’s the researcher, I said, “Go see if there’s any truth to this.”

The results BLEW MY MIND.

Not only is there truth to it — that, yes… lowering blood pressure not only extends your life but also extends your sexlife as well — but WOW… it’s a major player in everything from male-ED to females feeling “out of the mood.”

It’s crazy, but it’s true.

It makes sense once you read this:

Hang with me: It gets better…

So Frank digs up article after article on the subject of high blood pressure and LOW sexual-energy and performance… and we have a much more compelling reason to want to lower our blood pressure, now don’t we?

But we wanted more.

I said, “Look Frank, I get a lot of emails about sex-after-30… people who want to feel more kick, more alive in that area of their lives… and above all, closer to their mates.”

So… we decided to add another book on TOP of our book…

… a book on improving sexual-pleasure for couples only. “RevolutionarySex” is the name of it. My friend Alex Allman wrote it…and just like that we had two books instead of one.

But that’s not all… ( told you… this story is interesting… ; )

THEN my friend Jeff Anderson comes out with his “homemade V” — and guys, we know what “V” stands for.

Listen: V (little blue things) is really dangerous stuff. It really is. It RAISES blood pressure for one thing. For another it can cause addiction and memory loss.

But Jeff’s version is all-natural, cheap (we’re talking pennies instead of dollars per “pill” to make) and above all… SAFE.

So all of a sudden… THREE books (plus an audio)… so…

It became a System, not a book.

And the topic went from “lowering blood pressure” to …

… How you can completely solve your sexual-performance-problems and increase your pleasure all by lowering blood pressure naturally without meds.”

What a concept…

…and it WORKS.

http://www.lowpressuresex.com/go/joeyd255 <— Low Pressure Sex-System

Here are the advantages…

1. If you take blood pressure meds… and a lot of you do… your “kick in the stick” suffers. A lot. Some men suffer all the way, which lead them to taking the V stuff…

… and that stuff ‘raises’ blood pressure.

Bad, bad combo. Our System gets you off of that dangerous and expensive cycle of drugs and on to a natural, easy approach that also adds pleasure to your relationship.

2. Cheaper… by far… than meds.

3. Something you can read and do as a couple or as a single person.

4. You get healthy and you get your vigor back at the same time. Ladies too.

5. It’s guaranteed-to-work… 60 days on us.

I’m very proud of this System. We put a lot of time, research and effort into it.

If you want a life freee from high BP and sexual-performance-issues and better health, then go here:

P.S. There’s even more to this story –

We created an “Advanced Health and Relationship-Saver Kit” that comes with the most awesome self-hypnosis audios to help you relieve stress, lower pressure, increased your “drive”, and more.

You can get the starter Kit or the Advanced Kit here:

Here’s to your health… and your increased pleasure and enjoyment.

The Skinny on Fats

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Joeyd | Permalink 0

Let’s get this one out in the open:

1. Fats do not make you gain body fat.

2. Fats do not put you on Heart Attack Row.

3. Fats are not the enemy.

We’ve been sold a bag of lies when it comes to fats.

Fats are essential for your body’s hormone production, skin health, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and even burning body fat. Yep… you need fats to burn fat.!

Studies have been conducted to attempt to elevate cholesterol levels using high-fat diets. Most all of them have failed miserably — in fact several “lowered” total cholesterol while raising the so-called “good” cholesterol (HDL).

That being said, you don’t need the following…

1. A lot of fats in your diet. Fats still contain over twice the calories per gram as carbs and protein.

2. Any kind of “fake fats” — margarine or processed oils of any kind are highly dangerous foods.

Here’s my simple dietary fats solution:

1. Eat fats as they occur in nature, but eat at least 80% as they “actually” occur in nature — meaning from grass-fed and free-range sources. The extra cost is worth it. It tastes better and your medical costs will well offset the few dollars more per pound you pay.

2. Cook with a combination of olive oil and coconut oil, but use both sparingly. If you are eating plenty of animal protein you do not need excessive fats… not because of ‘danger’ but because of needless calories. Not a good idea if you’re wanting to keep your abs. But a bit of raw butter or olive oil can make bland veggies taste wonderful, so feel freee.

Also, omega 3-rich fats like olive oil and fish (and especially fish oil) help lower inflammation. That’s the real culprit behind heart disease in most cases.

3. Avoid a lot of fats at night. The night-time meals should be high in lean protein (tuna, tofu, turkey breast) with very limited fats if you are wanting to really get lean. If you are just trying to shed body weight slowly, it’s okay to have some fats at night.

Just do me a favor: If you are on the “Fats make you gain body fat and have heart attacks” bandwagon, jump off. We have consumed fat for countless thousands of years. Just consume it the way we always HAVE (naturally, not stuffed with hormones and cooked up in a lab) and you’ll be fine.

If you want a diet-solution that actually uses dietary fats to help you take off the bodyfat, then use this one:

It’s a real-world plan that allows you to eat your favorite foods and still shed the bodyweight you want.

And yes — that includes fats.
