How to Cut Weight For Wrestling!

Let's take a look at the typical year for a wrestler. During the off-season, the wrestler is in the gym lifting weights. The workouts are intense. The wrestler eats normally, sustaining muscle, and adding strength to their body. The wrestler might compete occasionally in a tournament or go to a wrestling camp. The wrestler is learning more moves, and skills, along with improved strength. All is good. Things look great for the upcoming season!

Then the season arrives. The wrestler decides to cut 15-20 lbs. to move to a lower weight class, where they will be big, strong, and ready for any competition. The wrestler eats very little, runs a lot (even with plastic suits on), spits, uses saunas, etc. to make weight. The wrestler makes weight. The wrestler has a good season, making weight each week, and binging after each match.

BUT THE WRESTLER COMES UP SHORT OF THEIR POTENTIAL!

The wrestler doesn't understand. He practices hard, really hard! He dropped two weight classes, and makes weight each week. He drills after practice, and works as hard or harder than anyone else in the mat room. He doesn't strength train during the season because he practices so much, and doesn't have the time or energy to work out. Besides, all that hard work in the weight room during the off-season has made him really strong!

Or did it?

If you are cutting weight for wrestling, and want to be the BEST your potential will allow, make sure you:

1. Keep Up Your Strength Training

During the off-season you want to work to gain as much strength as possible. I recommend training 3 times each week in the weight room, working the muscles that are used for wrestling. Be consistent and document your progress. Always strive to add a little more weight or repetitions. During the wrestling season, YOU HAVE TO STRENGTH TRAIN! You will not keep strength gained during the off-season if you neglect training during the season. If you are cutting weight, it is even more important to keep up your strength training. If you are cutting weight, practicing, and wrestling in dual meets and tournaments, your body is using its own muscle for food. You can prevent some of this by getting in a full body strength training workout every 4-5 days.

2. Eat More Frequently

Don't starve your body to make weight! If you starve your body, you are slowing your metabolism down. Metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories. A calorie is a unit of energy. By starving, you will cause a rebound effect, and have even more trouble making weight next season. The answer lies in trying to lose fat, not muscle and water. You do this by eating more frequently. Four smaller meals each day will allow you to lose body fat while sparing muscle, give you energy to wrestle hard, and be strong the entire match.

3. Give Your Body The Correct Amount of Calories

To find out how many calories your body needs to keep up muscle while cutting weight, take your current body weight, and multiply times 13. This is the minimum number of calories you need to consume each day.

4. Eat a 40-30-30 Ratio

Now that you know how many calories you need to cut weight and still keep your muscle and strength that you've built up, you need to eat the proper ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fats. 40% of your calories should come from lean proteins (egg whites, turkey, lean beef, whey protein powder, skinless chicken). 30% of your daily calories should come from complex carbohydrates (multi grain bread, baked potato, sweet potato, brown rice, oatmeal), and 30% of your calories should come from unsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts). Usually you don't have to figure in the fats other than a tiny bit of oil on a salad, because the meats that you consume will have a small percentage of fat that will suffice for the day.

5. Don't Jog excessively If Your Goal Is To Make Weight

Nothing is more grueling than a tough high school or college wrestling practice. You shouldn't get in the habit of jogging for miles, and miles each week in order to lose weight. First of all, it will not give you the endurance for wrestling like good old-fashioned live wrestling in practice will. If you try to lose weight by jogging, you will start eating the muscle off of your body. Aerobic activity is NOT an efficient means of losing fat. A controlled meal plan is the answer.

6. Don't Dehydrate

In order to wrestle at your best, and have your body working efficiently, you need to have all of the body systems working optimally. Each of your body systems requires water. If you have to lose a couple of pounds to make weight after you have followed the above tips, then you will restrict your water intake. Restricting water intake is not the same as not drinking water at all though. You still need to give yourself 3-4 ounces of water every 3 hours on days that you are trying to make weight. Remember, this is to keep up your strength. You need to plan well in order to do this right. Don't weight until two days before, and get drastic in your weight loss system.

7. Stay Away From Sugar

Wrestlers who cut weight by eating very little and doing excessive jogging tend to get sugar cravings. Sugar has no place in your wresting meal plan. The only time my clients consume sugar is immediately following an intense strength training session. If you are within 3 or 4 lbs. of your weight class, you might want to consume 60 grams or so of high glycemic carbohydrates (sugar) on the form of grape juice or apple juice within 20 minutes of your strength training session. This replenishes the body's glycogen stores and helps with recuperation. In general, stay away from sugars. They have no long-term positive effects on your energy. They are much more likely to be converted and stored as fat.

Top 6 Supplements to Get You Faster & Stronger For Football

When trying to get faster, bigger, and stronger for football, you need to use every weapon in your arsenal. Your football strength and speed training program needs to be excellent, your diet 90% on point (at least) and your mental training and football skill building all need to be constantly improving.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

For those of you who fit this description, supplements can help. There are certain supplements that can help you get faster and stronger for football...if all the other factors are in place!

Weight Loss Whey Protein

I'm always hesitant to talk about supplements for football training. While there is a short list of products that can really help your football training, they are not magic bullets. And, as any coach reading this will know, we've all had "the conversation:"

Player: Coach what supplements can I take to get bigger?

Coach: Well, what are you eating every day?

Player: Well, I had some cheerios, a Red Bull, a burger and a snickers bar today.

Coach:...head explodes.

So, before we get into the subject of how to use supplements to get faster and stronger for football at all, first realize that they are, as the name implies, supplements. As in, they supplement your normal eating, they don't replace it. If you're not eating correctly, start. Then, when you have that down, you can worry about supplements.

Second, some of the best supplements for football players are both very cheap and not very well hyped. It's hard to justify rolling out a major ad campaign for a bottle of something...that's better saved for the + bucket-o-worthless-chemicals.

When it comes to supplements to improve football ability both in the weight room and on the field, go:

Simple
Cheap
Effective
Know why you're taking what you're taking

Here are the Top 6 Supplements to help you get faster, bigger, stronger and more explosive for football.

1. Protein

Five of the 6 supplements in this list are what we consider "base supplements." They're not exciting, but they work and they are necessary. Protein powders being the base of the base.

Can you train without taking a protein shake? Yes, of course. But, why would you? I know some guys use this as a badge of being "hard core," whatever the hell that is...but, really, do you want to be that guy sitting in the gym eating chicken out of a Pyrex bowl, stinking the place out?

Protein is excellent for football training, especially to high school and college players because it is so easily carried around. You can quickly drink it in the halls, on the way to class or at your locker. You can try, as I did in vain, to eat actual food in class, but, most teachers get mad when you pull out giant roast beef sandwiches (no, I don't have enough for everyone, damnit)

It's also very cheap. While it may seem that putting out - 35 up front is expensive, the truth is most protein shakes, made at home with two scoops in water, come out to around .77. For 50+ grams of protein and minimal carbs and fat, that's impossible to beat.

And, its ideal post workout. You train hard so get the nutrients into your system as quickly as possible. This helps you recover faster. Recover faster - train harder - get bigger, stronger and faster on the field. Simple.

But, let's clear one thing up...protein is just food in liquid form. No more, no less. All the bells-and-whistles and marketing hype is just that. Don't expect to start drinking a few shakes and wake up looking like Arnold.

Start off with two shakes per day. One between breakfast and lunch and one post workout. A lot of experts are suggesting you drink 1/3 pre workout, 1/3 during, and 1/3 of your shake after lifting. This is fine as long as your stomach can handle it. In the summer, it can be tough so test it out and see how you do. Your shake does no good for you if its coming out instead of going it.

Favorites around here are IronTek's Whey, Muscle Milk, CytoSport Gainer, and Optimum's 100% Whey

2. L-Tyrosine

L-Tyrosine is one of the most exciting supplements I've ever come across for football. It is an absolute life saver on those days where no matter what, you just can't seem to get your brain right for the game. This isn't a base supplement but it's a staple around here. Most people have never even heard of this amino acid, so what's the big deal?

Again, it's tough to hype up a supplement that costs less than 10 bucks.

L-Tyrosine is a precursor to adrenaline and blocks the movement of Tryptophan (the stuff in Turkey that makes your fat uncles fall asleep after Thanksgiving dinner) across the brain. This gets you "up" without becoming jittery or cranked out like Ephedrine used to do.

This is huge for both training and football games. Combined with some caffeine it is an unbelievable pre-game/workout supplement...capable of waking you up, firing up the CNS and getting your brain right.

Don't over use this stuff. Like everything else on Earth, the more you use it, the more the body adapts. In-season, save it for game day. In the weight room, save it for the big P.R. days.

About 45-mins pre lift or pre-game, take 3 - 4 L-Tyrosine caps. You can combine these with a caffeine tablet for maximum effect. You can also use one of Joe DeFranco's "DeFranco Energy Bars," if you need a pre-training meal, as these have a lot of quality protein and a nice dose of Tyrosine and caffeine.

3. ZMA

ZMA might be the most underrated supplement in the world when it comes to recovering from training. Studies have shown that athletes, especially football players, are deficient in magnesium. The harder you train, the more the minerals are burned up.

This can lead to poor sleep quality and achy joints.

By taking ZMA (Zinc, Magnesium and vitamin B6) you get a much more restful, deep sleep. This alone makes it almost anabolic in nature. Studies have shown that simply by supplementing with ZMA you can increase your testosterone levels.

You spend a ton of time training, lifting, running, practicing football - you have to balance that with an equal amount of recovery and there's nothing better for recovery than sleep.

Biotest's ZMA is probably the best out there, you should definitely go with that to start.

4. Caffeine

This one is tricky. If you're under 18, I'd stay away from this one. I realize most high schoolers drink coffee and those femme latte-crap drinks, but, something about putting caffeine in pill form causes problems. Plus, you're young, you should be wired through the roof anyway.

For the more mature football player, caffeine tablets can be a life saver. They get you focused, get the nervous system fired up, and wake you up. This is especially helpful after a long day of classes, work, or playing PS3.

Most guys just drink coffee but this can be problematic. Most convenience stores water down their brew to the point that you're essentially drinking acidic, brown water. Even places like Startbucks and Dunkin Donuts can be inconsistent in how much caffeine per cup you're getting.

Best bet is to but a bottle of caffeine tablets. They're super cheap and safe. One tab is equal to a cup of coffee. And, all you need is one. They are much more potent than actually drinking your caffeine.

Take one tablet 45-minutes prior to a big workout, practice or game. Again, save it for the big ones...if you keep hammering away, it'll lose it's effectiveness. You should take a week off of caffeine every 8-weeks or so. That means completely; no tablets, no coffee, no diet soda. If you are really suffering during that week then you've been over-relying on the stuff.

If you really want to have a huge day, combine one caffeine tablet with 3 - 4 L-Tyrosine tabs. If you can, drink this down and take a very short nap (15-minutes). As you wake up, the cocktail will start kicking in and by the time you hit the gym or the field you'll be ready to kill.

5. Fish Oil

This is another base supplement and something about it just bores the hell out of most football players.

Who cares about heart health? Don't you know high school football players are Unbreakable like Bruce Willis?

Even if we put the heart-health benefits aside, Fish Oil is still extremely useful for football because of it's anti-inflammatory properties. Every time you lift, every time you practice, and especially when you play a game, you are creating inflammation. The longer you stay this way, the longer you're sore, tight, and unable to train at 100%. The quicker you squash inflammation, the faster you can get back to training or the field at full strength. This alone is invaluable.

Back when I played in High School, I was much stronger than anyone, setting school records by my junior year. Everyone would break my chops and ask what special supplements I was taking, steroids I was jabbing in my butt, or some special creatine water I'd drink. Truth is, and this is disappointing to most people, that I got that way because I was absolutely obsessed with recovery. I'd go crazy to sleep extra, eat right and kill inflammation as quickly as possible. Because of this, I could train more than everyone.

Think about that next time you have an extra 20-bills in your pocket. Are you going to buy some faux testosterone pill and pee out your money or are you going to do the smart thing, make the boring choice and get some Fish Oil so you can recover faster and train harder than everyone?

6. Multi Vitamin & Mineral

Another boring, base supplement that is absolutely indispensable. If you want to perform at the highest possible level, every cell in your system has to be functioning properly. Taking a good multi vitamin & mineral can help ensure that your body is replacing the nutrients that your burning up in your training. And, despite what most know-it-alls will tell you, you do need extra vitamins and minerals. Maybe the average American fat-ass who sits on the couch playing video games doesn't need them, but, a football player does.

Even if you eat a ton of different protein foods and "eat the rainbow" in vegetables, there's no way you're getting in all the minerals you need. The fact that most football players are woefully deficient in magnesium, zinc and copper should tell you why you need to supplement.

But, you have to get a good product. Taking Centrum will get you no where. A good multi product will require you to take 2 - 3 pills per day to get the full dose. Take one with breakfast, one pre-workout, and one at night. This ensures that you get a nice, steady flow of nutrients and you replace anything you lose quickly.

Soybean Side Effects - Mad About Soy

Not because I hate soy but because I hate the way the Soy industry has lied to us and poisoned us for profit. You must read Kaayla T. Daniels's book The Whole Soy Story to truly understand the history and damaging effects of soy. The book contains many compelling testimonials, about the dangers of soy, from real people. The serious health problems caused by heavy soy consumption are unbelievable. Soybeans are a cheap, crappy, hard to digest, food source with many harmful side effects. Once again you have been lied to and I will not tone down the truth so corporations can market waste products as health food. I know what you're thinking. If soy is so bad then how come most people think it is good? This is why:

Weight Loss Whey Protein

First of all, the origins of soybean use, 3000 years ago, in ancient China, Japan and Indonesia came out of poverty and famine. The soybean did not serve as a food until the discovery of fermentation techniques.1 Soybeans were used for crop rotation to add nitrogen to the soil.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

They were not eaten.

These ancient peoples would have rather eaten fish and meat they just did not have enough. Soy Protein or Tofu evolved as a poor man's meat substitute. It was discovered that fermenting the soybeans gave them a better flavor, made them more edible and medicines could be created from the soybeans-like Nattokinase. It is the fermenting of soy that makes it healthy in small quantities. This fermentation of foods has been used since ancient times to preserve food and create medicines from food, and is known as "Alchemy".2

The Chinese did not eat unfermented soybeans because of the large quantities of natural toxins or "antinutrients" that can cause serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and conditions of the pancreas including cancer.1 Unfermented soy is not healthy at all and large quantities, such as the levels currently consumed in America, is very detrimental to our health. It has been linked to hypothyroidism, early puberty in children, loss of testosterone, and many other hormone related health problems.2 The American soy industry took the unfermented soybean, genetically modified it and bastardized it into an unhealthy food that nature never intended. What is further compounding the problem is the relentless multi-billion dollar marketing campaign to convince us that soy is health food and we should eat it in quantity.

"Marketing costs money, especially when it needs to be bolstered with "research", but there are plenty of funds available. Soybean producers pay million annually to support United Soybean's program to "strengthen the position of soybeans in the marketplace and maintain and expand domestic and foreign markets for uses for soybeans and soybean products." Private companies like Archer Daniels Midland also contribute their share. ADM spent million for advertising during the course of a year."1 ADM is, of course, the corporation that brought us Hydrogenated Soybean Oil or "Trans Fats". The marketing is working. "Sales from soy milk alone have risen from million in 1980 to over 0 million in the US last year."1

The best marketing strategy for a product that is inherently unhealthy is, of course, a health claim. 1

Claims that eating soy can "lower cholesterol levels" and "reduce cancer" have been approved by the FDA after heavy lobbying and "alleged research" from the soy industry supposedly proving a health benefit. The opposite is actually true. Soy contains "antinutrients" that are toxic and carcinogenic to the human body.2

Soy protein (Tofu) is the spoogy waste leftover from making soybean oil. This sludgy byproduct from the soy oil industry was considered a waste product and animal feed until recently. By the way, animals do not like soybeans either and will only eat them when they are starving to death.

When I first started weight training I picked up a tub of vanilla flavored soy protein powder and started chugging down some chalky, ill tasting shakes with glee. I thought I was doing myself a big favor but little did I know I was actually reversing any chance of muscular gains. Scanning through a recent "Muscle Magazine" I saw an article supposedly reviewing the different protein powder supplements available on the market today. The article pictured animated protein tubs with friendly faces on them and the names "Soy", "Whey", "Casein" and "Egg". Whey and Soy were portrayed as the best choice for health, low cost and nutritional value. Now listen carefully to what I am going to tell you next. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU! Whey and Soy protein are waste products from the food industry, cleverly disguised as "health food" and heavily marketed to the American consumer.

Soy Protein Isolate is a heavily processed product. A slurry of soybeans is acid washed and then mixed with an alkaline solution. Acid washing in aluminum tanks leaches high levels of aluminum into the final product. The curd is then dried at high temperatures completely denaturing the final product and making the protein ineffective and drastically altered from what nature intended. Animals on soy feed have to actually be given lysine supplements for normal growth.2

Don't trust Men's Fitness magazine either. "Open a copy and you will find pages and pages of full color ads for soy based candy bars and instant beverages promoted as a way to create the macho man with perfect abs. Sadly-ironically-most issues contain the requisite article advising these super-built Lotharios how to have great sex. Were Men's Fitness to warn it's readers about the fact that soy lowers testosterone levels in men, advertising revenues would dry up and the magazine would fold."2 (Kaayla T. Daniel)

Tear up your Fitness and Muscle Magazines that are filled with lies and eat a delicious steak or fish dinner.

Maybe you have heard of Edamame, the new "healthy" baby green soybean pods. While eating at a local Sushi restaurant recently I noticed tables of customers around me happily munching on Steamed Edamame appetizers. Surely this must be good, right? Wrong! Edamame is crap too! The good news is these baby soybeans still in the pod are tender and more palatable. They also contain less of the harmful plant estrogens that diminish testosterone. So I would compare them to light cigarettes. They are much less harmful than regular soybeans that are loaded with anti-testosterone hormones!

Supporters of Soy debunk milk and supporters of milk (from pastured animals) debunk soy. They are both right and they are both wrong. Small amounts of milk from pure pastured animals would be nice and ideal but not necessary. Small amounts of fermented soy products like Nattokinase and Miso prepared the ancient way are OK and considered medicine in the East.

If you are not eating organic, you should know that 99% of the non-organic soy we eat is genetically modified and has one of the highest percentages of contamination by pesticides of any of our foods.1 This processed, genetically modified "American Soy" that we know, is poisoning us and causing illness and disease.

Soy Protein excellent for lowering Testosterone

Eating Soy protein causes lowered Testosterone levels. This is especially troubling to men and bodybuilders. To a bodybuilder, soy protein is like Kryptonite! The plant estrogens will rob you of your manhood, shrink your muscles and lower your sex drive. Ancient monks used to eat extra tofu to help them to easily maintain their vows of celibacy.2

Vegetarians who consume tofu and bean curd as a substitute for meat risk severe mineral deficiencies. The results of calcium, magnesium and iron deficiency are well known; those of zinc are less so.1 I met someone recently who was vegetarian and ate lots of tofu because she "loves animals". For gods sake don't eat a waste product from a crappy bean because you love animals! Love animals and eat raw nuts, "quality" beans and maybe some eggs. I love and respect animals as well and I am often astounded by the awesome beauty of nature's wild creatures. Humans, however, did not rise to the top of the food chain just to step aside and eat tofu because we love animals. I love them, respect them and eat some of them too!

Dump your milk down the sink! Spit your Tofu out the window! Throw your milk and soy products in the dumpster today and be healthier tomorrow!

Cantaloupe Diet: The Secret To A Healthy You!

Cantaloupes, or more popularly muskmelons, are one of the most popular varieties of melons in the United States. For people who are conscious of extra calories but have an affinity towards tasty stuff, cantaloupes form the perfect choice for their palette. The refreshingly rich flavor and aroma of cantaloupes can hardly fail to tickle the taste buds of a food lover.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

The cantaloupe has its origin in the Italian papal village of Cantaloupe, where it was first cultivated around 1700 A.D. Hailing from the same family of Cucurbitaceae, cantaloupes grow on the ground with the support of a trailing vine. Cantaloupes have a ribless rind with a distinctive netted skin and hence it's also called 'netted melon'. Inside the melon, there is a hollow cavity containing seeds encased in a web of netting. Rockmelon is also another popular name of cantaloupes.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

The health benefits of cantaloupes are innumerable. An excellent source of vitamin A on account of its concentrated beta-carotene content, cantaloupes are responsible for reducing the risk of developing cataracts to around 39%. Reports suggest that cantaloupes are more beneficial than carrots for our eyes. Beta-carotene has also been the subject of extensive research in relationship to cancer prevention and prevention of oxygen-based damage to cells. The benefits of cantaloupes are not confined within this. Being a good source of Vitamin C, potassium, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, folate, and niacin (vitamin B3), along with its fiber, cantaloupes lend an efficient support to the body by allowing good carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar stability. Besides, recent researches held at various renowned universities as the Kansas University has suggested that consumption of cantaloupes may reduce the risk of lung cancer in passive smokers.

Without doubt, cantaloupes are one of the healthiest of all foods. So including them in our daily diet would be one of the healthiest choices to make. But this does not mean that our diet would monotonous. There are a wide variety of cantaloupe recipes that can really tickle our taste buds. Cantaloupe is normally eaten as a fresh fruit, as a salad, or as a dessert with ice cream or custard. Melon pieces wrapped in prosciutto are a familiar modern antipasto. A world-renowned chef describes the charentais variety: "the orange, sugary and fragrant flesh makes this fruit popular both as a dessert or main course. These have smooth gray-green rinds and very fragrant orange flesh. It keeps well when stored in a cool, dry place and ripens after several days in a warm room." It's essential to choose the right cantaloupe while shopping. Choose a melon that is heavy for its size with a sweet but not over-powering smell and no soft spots. If it is ripe, store it in the refrigerator - just be sure to seal it tightly since cantaloupes can take on the odors of nearby foods. If it is a bit hard or green, store it at room temperature until it is ripe. These little tips are helpful to let you enjoy the natural taste of cantaloupes and its wide array of recipes.

Cantaloupes thus combine within themselves the key to health and taste. Low in fats and rich in essential vitamins and minerals, they are just the ideal food for all fitness freaks. So, just reach out and make cantaloupes an essential part of your daily diet.

Food Sources That Boost Glutathione Naturally

Glutathione, the body's master antioxidant and detoxifier, is one of the 14 "Superfoods" listed in SuperFoods Rx : Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life, co-authored by Dr Steven Pratt.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

Glutathione levels cannot be increased to a clinically beneficial extent by orally ingesting a single dose of glutathione. (1) This is because glutathione is manufactured inside the cell, from its precursor amino acids, glycine, glutamate and cystine.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

Hence food sources or supplements that increase glutathione must either provide the precursors of glutathione, or enhance its production by some other means.

The manufacture of glutathione in cells is limited by the levels of its sulphur-containing precursor amino acid, cysteine.

Cysteine - as a free amino acid - is potentially toxic and is spontaneously catabolized or destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract and blood plasma. However, when it is present as a cysteine-cysteine dipeptide, called cystine, it is more stable than cysteine.

Consuming foods rich in sulphur-containing amino acids can help boost glutathione levels. Here are some food sources and dietary supplements that help boost glutathione levels naturally.

1. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)

It is derived from the amino acid L-Cysteine, and acts as a precursor of glutathione. NAC is quickly metabolized into glutathione once it enters the body. It has been proven in numerous scientific studies and clinical trials, to boost intracellular production of glutathione, and is approved by the FDA for treatment of accetaminophen overdose. Because of glutathione's mucolytic action, NAC (brand name Mucomyst) is commonly used in the treatment of lung diseases like cystic fibrosis, bronchitis and asthma.

2. Milk Thistle, Silymarin

Milk thistle is a powerful antioxidant and supports the liver by preventing the depletion of glutathione. Silymarin is the active compound of milk thistle. It is a natural liver detoxifier and protects the liver from many industrial toxins such as carbon tetrachloride, and more common agents like alcohol.

3. Alpha Lipoic Acid

Made naturally in body cells as a by-product of energy release, ALA increases the levels of intra-cellular glutathione, and is a natural antioxidant with free radical scavenging abilities. It has the ability to regenerate oxidized antioxidants like Vitamin C and E and helps to make them more potent. ALA is also known for its ability to enhance glucose uptake and may help prevent the cellular damage accompanying the complications of diabetes. It also has a protective effect in the brain.

4. Natural Foods That Boost Glutathione Levels

Asparagus is a leading source of glutathione. Foods like broccoli (2), avocado and spinach are also known to boost glutathione levels. Raw eggs, garlic and fresh unprocessed meats contain high levels of sulphur-containing amino acids and help to maintain optimal glutathione levels.

5. Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate

Whey protein contains proteins like alpha-lactalbumin which is is rich in sulphur-containing amino acids. Heating or pasteurization destroys the delicate disulphide bonds that give these proteins their bioactivity. Undenatured whey protein is a non-heated product that preserves bioactive amino acids like cystine. It has been shown in numerous scientific studies and clinical trials to optimize glutathione levels.

6. Curcumin (Turmeric)

Treatment of brain cells called astrocytes, with the Indian curry spice, curcumin (turmeric) has been found to increase expression of the glutathione S-transferase and protect neurons exposed to oxidant stress. (3)

7. Balloon Flower Root

Changkil saponins (CKS) isolated from the roots of the Chinese herbal medicine, Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC (Campanulaceae), commonly called Balloon Flower Root or Jie Geng, have been found to increase intracellular glutathione (GSH) content and significantly reduce oxidative injury to liver cells, minimise cell death and lipid peroxidation. (4)

8. Selenium

Selenium is a co-factor for the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Selenium supplements have become popular because some studies suggest they may play a role in decreasing the risk of certain cancers, and in how the immune system and the thyroid gland function. However, too much selenium can cause some toxic effects including gastrointestinal upset, brittle nails, hair loss and mild nerve damage.

Nutritional supplements, while usually benign, can produce adverse reactions in some people. As with prescribed drugs, long-term effects from supplements are often unknown. Pregnant women and children should not take supplements except after consultation with their healthcare provider. Never exceed the recommended dosage on the container. If you observe adverse effects stop taking the supplement immediately and contact your healthcare provider.

Is The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet Safe

If you've been in the health scene or the dieting scene within the last year or so you've probably heard of the Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet also known as the Master Cleanser. It involves a strict diet of a juice mixture involving squeezed lemons or limes, cayenne pepper and maple syrup as well as taking a natural laxative to keep regularity which goes on for about ten days. It has been the rage of thousands of individuals nationwide who believe in the cleanse has literally changed their lives for the better.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

Those who have tried the cleanse believe that super-detoxifies the body cleaning out years of unhealthy toxic build-up in the body. It resets the body and corrects the ph levels as wells as helps eliminate all the bodys addictions including food, alcohol and drug addictions such as smoking. Another result of this detox is that people generally lose a lot of weight, for example you often hear of people losing 20 lbs. within a week, which is not uncommon on this diet. Even famous singer Beyonce KNowles is an advocate of the Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

Is the master cleanse diet really safe? Skeptics believe that this diet does what the body should already to, detox itself. But those who advocate the master cleanse diet thoroughly believe that we live in a toxic society and that we become so contaminated over the years that our bodys were not meant to fight off these levels of pollutants from heavy metals to additives in foods. Many believe that the Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet is so important that it is extremely unhealthy not to experience it. Many have even claimed that they felt "Euphoric" towards the ending of their cleanse. They claimed that their bodies felt as they did during their youth.

The Master cleanse lemonade diet seems to have proven itself to the general public of its ability to detoxify the system, speed up the metabolism, regulate the body, create energy, fight addictions, learn about allergies, and lose weight fast. Those who have gone through the lemonade diet feel that it is completely safe and effective if done correctly. Which would be true for any diet that one may go through.

As they say, you are what you eat. More importantly become something that you don't want to be by something you ate, maybe this diet is your second chance. Only you can know what is best for you and the choices you make will ultimately shape your health, especially in the long term. The trick is to become a proffessional on you. That is what advocates believe is the primary foundation of the master cleanse, knowing who you are without toxicity.

How to Get a Six Pack - Fast

Many people wonder how to get a six pack fast. They spend hours doing crunches and sit-ups, and yet they are not seeing the ripped abs that they desire. They wonder why. The truth is, they are going about it wrong. Their muscles are developing, to be sure, but they cannot be seen because they are buried beneath layers of fat. In order to get that 6 pack, they need to have a flat tummy and lower their body fat to below ten percent. This requires regular exercise, attention to diet, and a lot of dedication.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

Cardio And Weights

Weight Loss Whey Protein

There are two types of exercise that a person should do when trying to lose that body fat. The first is high intensity cardio exercise, which is a short period of intense physical activity followed by a period of rest. This is repeated over and over again for twenty to thirty minutes. This is more effective than steady, low intensity cardio because it continues to burn fat for a few days after it is performed. Examples of exercises that might fall into this category are running, jump roping, and aerobic exercise. The second type of exercise is weight training. Many people leave this out, because they are afraid that it will make them bulk up. This is, however, not the case. Lifting weights increases the body's resting metabolism, because muscle burns fat even during sleep.

Like It Or Not - The Nutrition You Need

Eating a balanced, low fat diet is essential for those who want to know how to get a six pack fast. It is best to this this in several small meals rather than three large ones, because this helps the body to keep its metabolism steadier. Your foods should include lean protein, which maintains energy and takes a lot of calories to digest, as well as high-fiber foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. It is essential to eat breakfast, because this meal is what gets your metabolism going in the morning. In addition, skipping it can cause you to eat too much at lunch, and that is very harmful to your weight loss efforts. Also, make sure that you are drinking plenty of water. This will curb your hunger as well as helping to replace fluids lost during exercise.

Foods You MUST Avoid

There are certain foods that those wanting to get ripped abs and a flat stomach should cut out altogether. These include any white foods such as white rice, pasta, white flour, and sugar. These simple carbs go almost directly into fat, therefore eating them is one of the most destructive things that those who want to learn how to get a six pack fast can do. Alcohol, also, is full of empty calories and should be eliminated from the diet, as should fast food. Other foods, such as oatmeal, almonds, and chili peppers, are fat-burning miracles.

Six Pack Exercises For Fastest Results

The last step to getting that 6 pack is to perform regular abdominal exercises. Make sure that you are working both your upper and your lower abs with exercises such as sit-ups, leg lifts, and v-ups. Another great ab exercise, according to researchers, is the bicycle. To do it, lie on your back, lift your legs up to 45 degrees, and pedal as if you were on a bicycle. Additionally, do not neglect your oblique muscles, which are on either side of your stomach. Any exercise that twists your body, such as twisting sit-ups and side bends, can do this.

And now you know how to get a six pack fast. Perform both cardio and weight-lifting exercises, eat the right foods, and exercise those abs. It sounds simple, but it takes a lot of work. Stick with it and you will have a body you can be proud of in no time.

OR SKIP ALL THAT AND DO THIS-

Can you really get a six pack fast? Definitely. How fast is fast? It all depends on how bad you want it. Do you want to know a little secret?

You already have one! What?? Everyone has a six pack. Ab muscles are just buried underneath your fat or just need a litte coaxing to look ripped. Believe me, hours of crunches and months of waiting is NOT how to get a six pack fast.

NO Carbs If you want to get a six pack quick, you have eaten your last french fry for right now. I literally lost 7 lbs. of fat in one week by just cutting carbs for that week. THAT much closer to getting those abs to pop. You need to increase your vegetable intake by about 4x. This will not only lean up your abdominal muscles, but you will be amazed at how many pounds of belly fat are just waiting to disappear when given veggies. It's All About the Plank So you don't like doing sit-ups? Neither do I. Ever heard of the plank? Get down on your elbows and toes and hold that position. That is why it is called the 'plank'. Do this every other day for one minute 3x a day. After a week, throw a basketball under your shins and it will increase your 6 pack time exponentially. If you want to speed things up even more, throw in a 30 minute walk or jog every other day too.

Remember- you have a six pack under there. It's just been hiding is all.

The Many Benefits Of Zinc Supplements

Getting enough zinc can wonders in numerous health conditions. Zinc activates white blood cells to fight infections. It helps protect the body against viruses. Men need zinc for sperm production and to keep the prostate gland healthy. Zinc helps the pancreas make insulin and keep normal sugar levels.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

Zinc is essential for good memory. Zinc supplements even help teenagers get better grades in school.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

How important is zinc? Zinc is present in every cell in the body. It is a component of over 200 enzymes. There are high amounts of zinc in red blood cells, white blood cells, your bones, kidneys, liver, pancreas, and retina. Men have high concentrations of zinc in the prostate gland. Every cell in the body needs zinc to divide and replace itself when the body makes new tissues.

Here are two lists. One is a list of conditions that can occur when the body does not get enough zinc. The second is a list of conditions that improve due to the benefits of zinc supplements.

Not getting enough zinc can lead to chronic fatigue, dermatitis, diarrhea, hypothyroidism, female infertility, impaired platelet aggregation, insulin resistance, and loss of taste or smell. It can cause reduced resistance to infection, night blindness, poor appetite, poor memory, attention deficit disorder, and reduced learning ability, and it can cause slower growth in children, slow healing of wounds, and infertility in men. Add to this list Acrodermatitis enteropathica, Alopecia, atrophy of the testes, bone loss and osteoporosis, decreased sperm count, decreased sperm motility, delayed puberty, nerve cell problems in Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome, and ringing in the ears.

Among the benefits of zinc supplement is improved immune function. Other benefits of zinc supplements are adding calcium to bones and teeth, lowering blood sugars, helping interferon work in treating hepatitis C, clearing up bacterial prostatitis, and recharging the male sex drive. They can help recovery in brain injury, improve brain function, restore night vision, increase sperm count, and stimulate the libido.

Extra zinc can help bring out weight gain in anorexia nervosa and help children with sickle cell disease. It can even cure bad breath.

Who needs the benefits of zinc supplements? You might be surprised. The United Nations University found that 20% of people worldwide are deficient in zinc. Zinc in supplements is needed to prevent childhood infections and diarrhea and to support normal growth and development.

Think you're safe if you eat a good diet? Think again. Scores of modern medications deplete the body's stores of zinc. Any women who takes the Pill or hormone replacement therapy or medication to prevent osteoporosis is at risk for nutritional deficiency and may need zinc supplements. Heart patients, diabetics, and epileptics also need zinc supplements.

Even some supplements increase the body's need for zinc. Calcium supplements, magnesium supplements, and whey all can interfere with the absorption of zinc. Never take zinc at the same time you take these supplements, and always be sure you are getting enough of the benefits of zinc supplements if you take any supplements for bone health or muscle health.

What about side effects of zinc supplements?

If you take too much zinc, your body will have difficulty absorbing copper. It's OK to take up to 20 mg every 2 hours for as long as 2 weeks to fight a cold, but for everyday nutrition limit your intake to 15 mg a day. Zinc supplements can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, but only if you take about a gram-over 60 times the recommended dose.

How can you tell if you are taking too much zinc?

Here is a simple test. Overdoses of zinc numb your taste buds to bitter flavor and metallic aftertastes. Zinc has a metallic taste. If you can't taste zinc, you don't need to take it! The benefits of zinc supplements are yours with just a small, regular dose.

How Much Weight (Or Pounds) Per Month Will I Lose With NutriSystem?

I get a lot of emails from folks who have a weight loss goal in their mind, and they want to know how long (or how many months) it will take them to get there using the NutriSystem diet. Examples are the young woman who is getting married in the fall and wants to lose 50 pounds. Or, the young mother who is going on a summer Caribbean vacation with her family and wants to look great in a bikini by losing 20 pounds. Both women are trying to gauge when they should get started to make sure that they reach their goals in time. I'll take a look at both scenarios in the following article. Hopefully, this will help you to determine an approximate monthly NutriSystem weight loss for you.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

The Official Version Of "Typical" Monthly NutriSystem Weight Loss: The company doesn't really go in to how much you can expect to lose in a month, but they do tell you that most people lose 2 - 3 pounds per week. So, in a month's time, this is 8 - 12 pounds lost. This is not too bad. Over six months, this would be 48 -72 pounds. Over a year you'd lose 96 - 144. This is pretty significant, but maybe you don't have that much to lose or you don't want to be on the diet for that long. I honestly think that the 2-3 pound range can be achieved by mostly following the directions and not much else. If you can't reach this level, you're probably either cheating or doing something wrong. If you want to put in just a little more effort, you can probably move up to the next level (3 - 5 pounds per week and 12 - 20 pounds per month.)

Weight Loss Whey Protein

What's Required To Lose More Weight Faster With NutriSystem: In order to know how to maximize your weight loss, you have to understand that in reality, NutriSystem is like a lot of low carb / high protein diets. The lessening of calories combined with the low amount of carbohydrates and the increase in fiber and protein revs your metabolism into fat burning mode (ketosis.) But, in order for this to happen, you have to keep your carbs low.

And, this is where some people go astray. The plan asks you to add in healthy fresh sides with every meal. They do educate you as to which options are lower on the glycemic scale. Many people don't pay much attention to this, but it can really mean the difference between 2 pounds or 5 for that week. For example, a side of kids type of yogurt is going to have far more carbs than plain yogurt or even low carb yogurt. And, a watermelon will not be as good a choice as a plum. You really don't have to guess about this because the company provides guidelines and free counseling. Any question that you might have is only a quick phone call or online chat away.

And, if you're willing to exercise even a little, you can have a bit more leeway with your sides (and if you're conscientious with both your sides and exercising too, then you're REALLY ahead of the game.) So, going back to my examples in the beginning of the article. Let's look at the bride. If she did the bear minimum and was a bit more generous on her sides, she'd probably lose the 50 pounds in around five months. But, if she were able to be a little more aggressive and get in the 3-5 range, she could cut this down to about 3 1/2 months.

And, the mom who just wanted to look great in a bikini and lose 20 pounds? Well, if she were very aggressive, she could theoretically accomplish this in a little over a month (but there would have to be very little cheating involved.) And, if she wanted to live a little with the carbs and relax on the exercise, she'd still only be at a month and a half to around two months or so.

Fatty Liver Diet Do's And Don'ts

In her book, "Fatty Liver Diet Guide", veteran liver nurse, Dorothy Spencer, states, "There is in fact little difference between the regular diet between healthy people and fatty liver patients. The main point is to reduce the fat content and encourage the body to fully utilize the calories for energy so that there will be no excess storage of fat and carbohydrates." She goes on to stress the importance of regulation, balance, and incorporating all food groups through a highly nutritional diet.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

The best diet plan for reducing a fatty liver will vary from patient to patient. When it comes to fatty liver disease (FLD), there are many factors at play, and the underlying causes of the problem must be identified before proper nutritional advice can be given.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

FLD is generally broken down into two types: alcoholic (AFL) and non-alcoholic (NAFLD). Alcoholic fatty liver disease has one primary cause: the excessive consumption of alcohol.

The ethanol found in alcoholic beverages contributes to excessive fat accumulation in the liver because it blocks the oxidation of fatty acids in the liver, and it inhibits the release of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in the bloodstream which are responsible for moving fatty acids out of the liver. When more fat moves into the liver than out of it, fat accumulation and storage occurs. AFL can generally be reversed by removing alcohol from the diet.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a more complex condition. NAFLD can be caused by a wide variety of things which include, but are not limited to, a high-fat diet, obesity, type 2 diabetes (diabetes milletus), hyperinsulinemia, and metabolic disorders. Dietary changes and weight loss are the best ways to combat and reverse NAFLD.

Here are some of the do's and don'ts when making changes that incorporate a fatty liver diet plan aimed at reducing excess fat in the liver into your lifestyle.

Do eat vitamin and mineral rich foods, particularly those high in B-complex vitamins, folate (folic acid), manganese, selenium, and sulfur Do follow a balanced diet and avoid excessive eating Don't eat high-fat foods, particularly those high in saturated fats Don't consume alcohol and/or high sugar drinks like energy drinks and soda Do exercise regularly to lose weight gradually rather than trying for a "lose it all at once" solution Don't eat large amounts of dark meats or fried foods Do eat lean white meats such as chicken or turkey Do eat vegetables daily, particularly greens and leaves Do eat fruits daily, particular citrus fruits high in vitamin C Do eat complex carbohydrates such as those found in brown rice and whole grains Don't eat simple carbohydrates such as those found in candy and desserts Do eat foods high in fiber

Medifast Shakes - What Do They Taste Like?

Because I'm on the Medifast diet plan and often seen carrying these shakes with me, I'm often asked what they taste like. Most people even scrunch their nose when they ask me this question, as if they are sure that I'm going to confess something unsavory about them.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

The truth is, they are not like the chalky diet shakes that you probably remember or fear. The shakes are also really very filling. At first drink the shakes are pretty good, but there are ways to make them taste even better. I've gotten so good at this art that I actually crave the shakes now in the way I used to crave my morning Star bucks. Here's how I make the shakes taste really good:

Weight Loss Whey Protein

First, no matter which flavor you're using (my favorite is the Dutch Chocolate), make sure you consume it as cold as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend using a blender and ice (Medifasts' blender works very well). Doing so will make the vanilla flavored shake taste like a frappacino and the chocolate and banana flavors taste somewhat like milkshakes in their respective flavors. When I have time, I will even refrigerate my shakes over night because this will thicken them up even more and give them a shake like consistency.

Another alternative is to add cold coffee and ice for an iced coffee effect. This is actually very good.

Some people swear by adding no sugar syrups to individualize taste. I especially like raspberry and caramel sugar free syrups added to mine. This gives the shake a really sweet, dessert like flavor. A friend of mine adds crystal light powders to hers to play around with the taste.

With a little practice and individualization, most folks have no problems with making the medifast shakes taste very good and to their liking. Experiment and see what works for you.

How Long Does it Take for Creatine to Work?

Many bodybuilders and weightlifters take creatine as a supplement to their workouts and dietary regiment. Most accomplished bodybuilders would agree that supplementation is a necessary part of the sport if you want to achieve success. It is natural to ask how long does it take creatine to work as you want to see results. Keep in mind that creatine, although good, is not in and of itself a sure fire way to achieve the growth that you want.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

Creatine monohydrate (CM) can aid in protein synthesis. Many people in the sport may neglect the amount of protein they are consuming in their diet because they believe that CM will offer them enough protein. This is not true. You should be consuming 1gm of protein per pound of bodyweight in addition to taking CM. Remember, creatine is not a miracle worker. It works best in conjunction with a proper diet.

Weight Loss Whey Protein

It is also important to drink plenty of water while you are on a CM cycling phase. Normally if you are weight training with a cardio program you should be taking in about 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight. This will assure that you are staying hydrated and that your cells can function properly. CM works best when the body is functioning normally and normal function relies on water.

Creatine in and of itself cannot make you huge or ripped. Again, it works best with proper diet which, as mentioned above should include plenty of protein consumption. If you aren't able to consume enough protein during your day then try using protein shakes. You can do this quickly by mixing protein powder out of the jar in water or milk. If you don't like the taste right out of the jar then try this easy protein shake recipe:

In a blender mix about 1/2 to 1 cup skim milk, with your protein powder, then add a small handful of frozen, un-sweetened berries (any type - fresh berries are great too of course, but i like frozen because it makes it taste like more of an ice cream drink - if that makes sense), and add a banana if you want. Mix it all together and it tastes great. Adds a few calories I know, but it is worth it if you have a hard time downing the basic mix. You can mix a pitcher of these ahead of time and take a thermos with you to work so you can have a shake as one of your in between meal snacks.

Dymatize's exclusive Elite formula provides the perfect ration of essential and non-essential amino acids in their most easily assimilated form. Each serving of Elite Whey Protein is enzymatically predigested in the lab for improved absorption and bioavailability. In addition, our Whey Protein is processed to prevent protein cross linking. Each serving of Elite Whey Protein provides over 3. 5 grams of glutamine and glutamine precursors, and 5 grams of BCAA's. Dymatize's Elite Whey Protein contains very high levels of Anti-Catabolic Branched Chain Amino Acids. These Branched Chain Amino Acids are an excellent source of extra muscle fuel which may be depleted during intense training. These same Branch Chain Amino Acids are used to repair and help with the growth of cells. Branch Chain Amino Acids are utilized by muscle cells quickly after an intense work out and are an important part of an effective diet. Elite contains a proprietary digestive enzyme blend including Aminogen to help amplify absorption, and to make Elite even more agreeable to lactose intolerant individuals. No added sucrose, fat, fillers, maltodextrin, or aspartame. (These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
