Reduce Cellulite With L-Carnitine and Lipotropic Plus

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Contrary to popular belief, you can reduce cellulite from your belly, thighs, butt and anywhere else on your body without using creams, wraps, lasers or any other ridiculous forms of cellulite treatment.  Naturally reducing cellulite can be accomplished through strategic supplementation and short exercise that actually manipulates the larger fat cells that cause cellulite and creates the “cottage cheese” look.

A scientific, but simple explanation of the fat cell depicts how cellulite is created.  With this knowledge, and the correct tools at your disposal, you can easily reduce cellulite from your body for good!  You see, cellulite is created when the fat within the cells aren’t able to be “transported” to the Mitochondria within each cell.  The Mitochondria is the “furnace” of the cell that allows you to burn off fat at the molecular level.  In simple terms, there’s a “door” that separates one side of the fat cell (where fat lives) from the other side where the Mitochondria lives.

This “door” of the fat cell, with the correct nutrients, would generally stay open.  Unfortunately, our food supply lacks a lot of nutrients that our bodies need to function properly -- including transporting fat to the Mitochondria.  The nutrient that opens the fat cell “door” and would allow you to eliminate cellulite is called L-Carnitine.  L-Carnitine traditionally comes from grass fed cattle and dairy products, but we no longer consume it in the abundance that we used to.  Unfortunately, our body doesn’t have the raw materials to create L-Carnitine on its own so we need to supplement it ourselves.

Now, L-Carntine is only one half of the equation.  The other issue is that the fat within these cellulite-inducing cells has been dormant for so long that it’s very, very big and can’t fit through the fat cell “door”.  This is what creates the look of cellulite.  The fat is pushed to the outer limits of the cell (along with water) and causes the “ripple effect” that you see on  your skin.  So, how do we get the large fat through the fat cell door?  We need to break it down with something called a “Lipotropic”.

Lipotropics are used to break down specific types of molecules.  Dish soap is a great example of a lipotropic when its used to break down and clean up grease.  If you look at grease under a microscope, it has a huge molecular structure.  This is why it sticks to whatever it touches.  Dish soap “emulsifies” (breaks it down into smaller parts) the grease so that it can be wiped away.  This is what an effective Lipotropic supplement would do with fat in the body.  It breaks apart the larger fat molecules so that they can fit through the fat cell door (that was opened by L-Carnitine) and sent to the Mitochondria to be burned.  This process is how to reduce cellulite properly.

Now, this newly-accessible fat will only be called upon to be burned if exercise is performed in the correct way.  So, we recommend that you perform short, high-intensity exercise in a “fasted state” (empty stomach) while using L-Carntine and Lipotropics.  This will ensure that your body does not call upon recently eaten calories for energy, but will immediately go after the smaller fat that’s now able to fit through the fat cell door and reach the Mitochondria to be used as a source of energy.  If you follow this unique strategy, you will definitely lose cellulite and be one step closer to your best body and life.

If you really want to eliminate cellulite for good, then check out Super L-Carnitine and Lipotropic Plus at the GL-12 Store!

The Best Diet For Weight Loss Lets You Cheat

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Are you desperately in search of fast and easy weight loss tips and plans that could help you quickly reduce body weight? If you are one of the millions around the world looking for an effective and proven weight loss plan, you probably have ran into many other “run of the mill” exercise and diet for weight loss plans.  Unfortunately, most programs are very ineffective in actually reducing body fat and helping you keep the weight off with a long-term, livable and “real-world” maintenance plan.

Most weight loss food plans tend to be extremely strict in diet for as long as you’re on them, making these weight loss plans essentially worthless as they force you to plan your life around healthy nutrition, instead of planning healthy nutrition around your life. As these diet plans strictly enforce a very specific way of eating (i.e. low-carb) for as long as you’re alive, over a period of time, you tend to lose interest in continuing these diet plans for weight loss.  Rightfully so, most people totally lose interest in weight loss as all of us are tempted to eat our favorite foods at least once in a while.  It’s just not reasonable to think that everyone can be “perfect” with his or her diet their entire life.

Though these hyped up plans advocate completely cutting out your favorite foods, they actually never help you accelerate the process of reducing fat, but rather increase body fat by making your body receptive to storing more of it.  In a nutshell, cutting out your favorite foods is completely counter- productive.  Did you know that “cheating” on your diet is the best way to accelerate fat burning? If this doesn’t sound right to you, then you need to take in this information with an open mind because you will miss out on some of the most unique, different and proven fat-burning tips that allow Karen and I to stay lean year-round and still enjoy our favorite foods at least once or twice a week.

To really reduce body fat, you have to take a day, or sometimes two days per week, off from your “diet for weight loss plan” and eat your favorite foods. Using this “Strategic Cheating” technique has many physical and psychological benefits. First of all, you are systematically programming your body to burn more fat.  Cheating with your favorite foods increases your body’s level of Leptin, a very important hormone that initiates fat burning in the body.  Secondly, you are giving yourself at least one day during the week to indulge in your favorite foods, which makes it psychologically easier to follow your diet for weight loss life for a lifetime. There is actually no such thing as perfection when it comes to a fat-burning diet. You have to cheat and get yourself satisfied so that it’s psychologically easier for you to follow your nutrition and exercise plan the rest of the week.  This is also beneficial because we all know that “life happens” and it’s impossible to always eat perfectly.  Therefore, if you plan for family events, holidays, birthdays, etc. ahead of time, you can still eat your favorite foods, drink your favorite cocktails and still burn fat the rest of the week.

A healthy weight loss program should never deprive you of your favorite foods in the long-term. It should reward you for the consistent nutrition and exercise discipline that you follow MOST of the time by allowing you to eat your favorite foods at least once or twice a week. If you want to reduce fat, you MUST occasionally cheat with your favorite foods.  Get Lean In 12 Macro-Patterning Meal Plans force you to schedule these cheat days once or twice a week.  Unlike other hyped up weight loss plans, GL-12 doesn’t make you crave for your favorite foods, but allows you to eat anything you want at least once a week so that  your body will accelerate the process of fat burning.

Enter your email at the top of this page and instantly access your Get Lean In 12 7-Day Diet meal plan, famous 12-minute workout and GL-12 Maintenance Meal Plan downloads and presentations so that you can become a life-long fat-burner starting today.

3 Tips To Stay Consistent With Fat Loss Even When “Life Happens”…

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

I wanted to let Karen share the strategies she uses to stay on track when it gets warm out and life becomes so crazy you can’t seem to keep up.

Today’s video covers exactly how we both use the following 3 tips to live the fat burning good life…Enjoy!

1. Schedule It

We know it’s obvious, but it works! You must plan and prepare ahead of time and schedule your workouts, meals and snacks.

We’ve heard it for years, but it’s SO true. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!  Just like opening the doors of your business in the morning, making it to a doctor’s appointment, or picking up your children from school or practice, exercise and nutrition must be scheduled.  We have found that performing 12 to 30 minutes of exercise within an hour of waking up works best for most people.  In fact, research shows that a healthy individual can potentially burn more fat and calories in an intense 12 to 20 minute exercise session performed in the morning on an empty stomach than an entire hour of exercise performed in the evening after eating a few meals.

Not only do you save time and burn more fat and calories;, but it’s also out of the way and supercharges your metabolism and energy to take on your entire day.

Treat your food intake exactly the same!  Take 15 minutes every night before bed and plan your next day’s eating and exercise into your schedule. This will help you create more time than you have ever had because you won’t be chasing energy or waiting in a fast food line.

2. Use an Accountability System

This is the “Difference Maker” in your journey. You must seek accountability on a daily basis to beat the battle of the bulge for the long haul.

In order for you to be successful at home or in business, you have to hold yourself accountable to certain daily obligations, tasks and large projects. When it comes to being a parent or a mate, we also hold ourselves accountable to spending time with our children and our significant others.  If you don’t invest the time necessary, your business and financial life suffer…and of course ultimately our relationships and family life suffer as well.

The same is true with exercise and nutrition.  Most people fail with fitness because they lack an accountability system.  There are a few different ways to do this depending on your personality, and of course, desire to succeed.

The best accountability system is to make a financial commitment.  This not only will ensure you the proper way to do things, but also can obligate you through structured appointments or a financial investment. It “hurts” a LOT more when you have to reach into your pocket, and you’re much more likely to follow through.

Another great way to be held accountable is to enter a contest or event with a goal or deadline.  This positive pressure will help you stay focused on a pre-determined goal, and by having a deadline, it creates the urgency needed to help develop consistent habits.  I personally love scheduling a photo shoot. If I have to be in front of a camera on a certain day and time, it creates a healthy sense of urgency to be ready.

The last method of accountability to use is partnering up with a friend or mate and committing to weekly workouts, trainings, or some type of intense classes such as group training, spinning or kickboxing. If possible, it’s a good idea to pay monthly, or in advance, for a package or series of classes for that extra incentive to follow through.

3. Follow the GL-12 Law of Consistency: Strive to be consistent, not perfect

Learning to develop realistic, long-term lifestyle changes is the key to health, vitality and weight management.  In order to do this, you must come up with a plan that will set you up for creating habits that will last a lifetime.

Because we are all human, we will fall off probably more than once a week.  The key to achieving great results is knowing that when you do fall off, you get right back on track instead of giving up completely.

Karen and I personally like to schedule our workouts before or after events, holidays, or special occasions. If we know we’re going to cheat, we just work out 2 or 3 hours beforehand to rev up our metabolism, or the very next morning as damage control.

Everybody falls, but great people overcome their adversities and immediately get back up.

There will never be a perfect time to begin forming fitness habits so the best thing is to begin now by taking small steps today. Use the Law of Consistency. Remember, fat loss and fitness are a journey…NOT an event!

We have found over the years that consistency, not perfection of the basics described here, will give you the philosophies you need to be productive in fitness, business and in life!

Leave a comment below and let us know which one of these strategies you’re going to use and how you’re going to use it.

Here’s to staying lean for life,
Shaun and Karen

P.S. If you really want results, why not invest in a system that actually has a “results guarantee” and can hold you accountable at the same time?

The Most Effective Weight Loss Diet Needs 3 Key Elements

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

The first word that comes to one’s mind when we talk about weight loss is ‘dieting’. Yes, weight loss and dieting are extremely related to each other. Every year, millions of people starve themselves to lose weight. Most people drastically reduce their calorie intake because they think they don’t have the time and patience to reduce weight the RIGHT WAY, but just starving one’s self is not going to help you reach your fat loss goals. If you want fast and easy weight loss, you have to follow a scientifically-proven system that allows you to have your favorite foods once or twice a week, but still keeps your body in “fat-burning mode”.

We know that thousands, if not millions of people are looking for rapid weight loss plans every day. Though they know that being overweight is very bad for their health, what they don’t understand is that the quick weight loss diets recommended by most so called “experts” do more harm than good to your metabolism – the main function of the body that allows you to burn fat.

Research shows that if you want the right weight loss diet or exercise, you have to have to eat balanced meals (i.e. correct food combinations) that don’t raise your insulin level. As high insulin levels are known to reduce fat burning, you should always eat food with the goal of keeping your insulin level low. So what do you have to do to keep the insulin level in check? Balance out your weight loss diet with the correct food combinations.

It’s extremely important not to have a meal with only carbohydrates or only protein. You have to have the right combination of carbohydrates, protein and “healthy” fat in every one of your meals. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you as you read this – you need to have some amount of fat (good fat) in your “weight loss diet meals”.   Adding a little healthy fat in each of your meals, effectively keeps blood sugar stable and insulin lower.

Besides food combinations, the next crucial element for your rapid weight loss plan is correct timing. Though carbohydrates are essential for energy, one should usually only eat carbohydrates at breakfast and lunch and other snacks/meals earlier in the day. Eating high-carbohydrate foods after 3pm (for women, 6pm for men), when your  metabolism is starting to slow down, will only cause an  unnecessary increase in blood sugar and insulin.  Hence, you will start to store fat.  Therefore, it’s recommended to eat four to five smaller meals per day (with at least 3 hours between each meal) and watch your carbohydrate intake later in the day.  It’s that simple!

So, as you probably know, “fast easy weight loss” comes with the right combination of proper food AND exercise. If you want to lose weight fast, just enter your email at the top of this page and you’ll instantly receive your FREE 7-Day Diet Meal Plan Chart and video that you can use to get a super-quick jumpstart on your fat loss goals so that you’re motivated to stay on track, long-term.  Then, in a couple of days, you’ll also receive the entire GL-12 Cardio Routine (and videos explaining how to use it) so that you can achieve your fat loss goals AND also save a lot of time!   AND THEN, two days later, you’ll receive a third download and video that shows you how to keep the weight off forever (a.k.a. maintain) after you’ve lost it….with a GL-12 Maintenance Meal Plan and informational video.

How To Lose Weight Quickly: High Intensity Exercise and Its Post-Workout Effect

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Just like diseases such as cardiac arrest, diabetes and many others, being overweight has become a chronic and life threatening medical condition all over the world. When people realize they are really overweight, they look for ways to lose fat quickly. There are many resources on the Internet which can be used to roughly assess your Body Mass Index, and if you find that you are overweight, you have to learn how to lose weight quickly.

Anyone who is familiar with the Internet will know that there are many people claiming to provide the best weight loss programs and quick fixes that do wonders to reduce weight and tell people how to lose weight fast with little to no work involved. In reality, many weight loss programs come and go over time, as they just try to sell consumers on buying their weight loss systems, ab gadgets, magic diet pills and other useless stuff that really doesn’t deliver on its promise, or provide a long-term, livable solution. If you really need an easy way to lose weight fast, you should make sure that they are scientifically proven to help you reduce weight.

Ask those same “weight loss experts” how to lose weight quickly, and he or she would recommend the same kinds of traditional, textbook cardio routines, weight training workouts and nutrition plans.  It’s a no-brainer that if they worked, very few people in the world would be overweight or obese.  Unfortunately, the reality is that this is not the case. Most “recommended”, traditional exercise programs only work the “Aerobic System” and “Threshold System” of the human body.  This type of exercise only increases your body’s ability to burn fat (i.e. raise your metabolism) DURING your workout.  This result differs from what your body experiences when you “work” the “Creatine Phosphate System” of the human body with high-intensity, short-burst training (like Get Lean In 12 Cardio).

Unlike the exercise routines which only burn fat for a few hours (i.e. long, aerobic cardio), the fat-burning system you choose should program your body to burn fat for a considerable amount of time after your exercise session. The longer that fat is burnt after your workout, the quicker your results will be recognized. Research has shown that properly working the Creatine Phosphate System with high-intensity training burns fat much more effectively and faster than working the Aerobic System with slower, longer cardio exercise.

If you’re interested in the GL-12 Cardio Workout and Wendy Chant’s famous 7-Day Diet, then just enter your first name and email at the top of this page and you’ll instantly receive your FREE 7-Day Diet Meal Plan Chart and video that you can use to get a super-quick jumpstart on your fat loss goals so that you’re motivated to stay on track, long-term.  Then, in a couple of days, you’ll also receive the entire GL-12 Cardio Routine (and videos explaining how to use it) so that you can achieve your fat loss goals AND also save a lot of time!   AND THEN, two days later, you’ll receive a third download and video that shows you how to keep the weight off forever (a.k.a. maintain) after you’ve lost it….with a GL-12 Maintenance Meal Plan and video….

The Get Lean In 12 system DOES teach you REAL fast weight loss exercise and “lose fat quick” tips so that you can turn your body into a 24-hour, fat burning furnace.  Check it out!
