DO YOU KNOW YOUR PROTEINS

Protein – Whey, Egg, Casein, Blends and Plant Based

Hi all today we're talking proteins, and I came across this great article written by Natalie Jill fitness Professional and I just had to share it with you all, happy reading guys...

I know it can be very confusing when it comes to protein powders. There are so many types, brands, and prices. How do you know what you REALLY need and what will work for you? Hopefully this page will clear up some of the protein powder confusion.

I personally use several different proteins supplements depending on the time of day and how hard I am training. I primarily use whey and egg proteins and sometimes a blend protein. I do however have a lot of vegan clients so I also have experimented with Plant Based Proteins and have a few brands that I suggest.

TYPES of proteins

Whey protein is a very high quality protein which is also absorbed VERY quickly. It is great first thing in the morning, before & after workout, or when you need to bump up the protein content of a meal. Ideally, I suggest drinking a 1/2 of a scoop of whey pre and post workout with a simple piece of fruit such as an apple. This gives your muscles the ideal nutrients to get through tough workouts and help your body repair itself afterwards. Another huge benefit of whey is it helps to blunt your hunger which is terrific – ESPECIALLY useful when you get those food cravings!
Egg and Casein proteins are slower absorbing proteins that can be taken anytime, but they are especially good before bed where the slow digesting proteins will help your body repair itself while you sleep! They are also to use as part of a MEAL or as a MEAL REPLACEMENT. Egg protein is the ideal one to cook with and add into baked goods.
Blends – Egg and casein are often combined with whey protein into what are called ‘blend’ proteins. These proteins mix fast and slow digesting proteins so you get more of a ‘time release’ effect.
Plant based proteins like soy, bean or hemp are typically suggested for vegans or those with allergies. Unfortunately, these do not taste as great. I suggest mixing these with almond milk or in a smoothie with some juice or berries to help with the taste. I have a plant based suggestion on here as well that is 100% vegan, gluten free and allergen free if this is of interest to you.

I PERSONALLY use Gluten Free varieties of whey, Egg and Plant based proteins. I no longer use pure Soy proteins and I seldom use rice or casein protein powders. Here are my recommendations for Whey, EGG, and plant based proteins:

NOTE: Clicking items below WILL take you to suggested products sites where if you order, all purchases, returns, and support for those products are provided by the individual retailers below.

Egg Protein

For egg protein, my absolute favorite and the one I use is MuscleNog. I like egg protein because unlike whey protein, you can COOK with it. Add some extra protein to your pancakes, brownies, and other treats (for more recipe ideas CLICK HERE). Egg protein is tasty and really helps to satisfy you. MuscleNog mixes easily, tastes great, and is all natural! It comes in 2 flavors – Chocolate & Vanilla. To read more click here on MuscleNog
Before you do, know that you can save TEN BUCKS on every container by just using the code: “NATALIEJILL” (all one word) when you check out. I use it daily and love it! Give it a try…CLICK HERE to order.

Whey Protein Options

Two of my favorite whey proteins are Myofusion Probiotic from Gaspari Nutriton and Dymatize Elite Whey protein. Dymatize has some GREAT flavors…try the Berry Blast! HERE is a great place to get it from (been ordering from them for almost 10 years). You can get a large tub very inexpensively! Literally TEN lbs of tasty protein for about $75! My favorite is the Berry Blast (SO good in smoothies!) or the vanilla mixed thick with some almond extract. YUM!



Another favorite option for Whey that is Gluten Free, Lactose Free, Hormone Free, and Soy Free with an additional bonus of being High in Fiber is the Betty Lou’s Low Glycemic Designer Protein shakes! These come in individual packets (perfect for the office, your gym bag and travel) as well as in tubs. As an extra bonus just by mentioning “Natalie Jill” at checkout you will save 10% on your order! For more information on Betty Lou’s Protein powder and shakes look HERE.
Remember, whey Protein is perfect for pre and post workout because it is a fast-absorbing protein.

Casein Protein

Casein is s-l-o-w digesting protein and can be used anytime, but I love it in the evening or at night before bed. My favorite flavor is the vanilla, and I mix it with JUST a little water and make pudding out of it. Sometimes I add a splash of almond extract and it is YUMMY! I get the casein from the same place I get the whey and the prices are awesome. Get your casein HERE.

Plant Based Protein

If you are looking for a totally pure plant based protein here is one I have recently discovered. It is Non-GMO, it is 100% gluten free, 100% hypoallergenic, 100% plant based, there are NO animal products used, it is VEGAN, easy to digest , has no dairy, fish, shellfish, fish, peanuts , treenuts or egg! And is a great source of BCAA, Glutamine and Arganine. Click HERE to learn more

BLENDS

Blends are typically a combination of different protein sources that makes the protein powder slower to digest and longer lasting. These are ideal for meal replacements. My personal favorite is Myofusion Probiotic Series by GASPARI for these reasons: Incredible Taste, Mixes Easily. It Features Whey Protein Concentrate, Brown Rice Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Casein Milk Protein Isolate, Egg Albumin, and fast acting Whey Protein Hydrolysate. It has over 9 grams of essential Amino Acids (EAAs) to support recovery. It is Gluten and Aspartame free! To learn more about Myofusion Probiotic series look HERE

CALORIES what are they?

A CALORIE IS NOT A CALORIE by Lynn Powers DeliciouslyFIT

Hello everyone its been a while since my last post but I've been very busy, however I just cant help it but I have to keep you guys up to date and share some more great information I just came across by a friend of mine and you guys can read more good stuff at https://www.facebook.com/DeliciouslyFIT.org
any way please have read this stuff is like poetry to my ears its the same thing I've been saying all this time, and whats good its coming from a professional fitness athlete, do enjoy people...

A calorie is NOT a calorie ...200 calories of processed, junk food with no nutrient value is NOT the same as 200 calories of real, food (veggies, fruit, chicken, fish, etc.). Your body does not receive this food the same way. A body eating the junk will not look the same as the body eating the real food. Eating the real food will produce beautiful healthy skin; shiny, strong hair, nails, bones; bright eyes, healthy hormones, organs, muscle growth, cell growth and repair, etc.... A body eating the same amount of calories eating junk will have bad, dull, breaking out skin, dull hair, brittle nails, illness and disease invading their organs, no muscle tone, fatigue, etc.... I hear so many people say "it's calories in and calories out" NO it isn't . Your digestive system is the key to your health. The digestive system needs certain nutrients, the right amount of pure clean water, and fiber to digest and absorb nutrients properly. Fad diets promoting their special desserts, packaged foods and telling you you can still eat all of your favorite junk food...are WRONG. The brain was created to KNOW how to read and send message to the body with real, natural food. The brain tells the body, hey guys here is an apple, you know what to do with it. When someone eats man made junk, the brain sends out and alarm to the body "warning warning" I don't know what the hell this crap is and I sure as hell don't know what to do with it either! The warning comes in the form of INFLAMMATION which turns into illness, disease, depression, fatigue, mental fog, hormonal imbalances, mood swings, etc. The brain and the body were created as a perfect running machine. What do you think would happen if you saw a deer begin eating McDonalds food...we were meant to be one with nature and eat accordingly. So when a diet company who wants your business lies to you and tells you that it's calories in vs. calories out...RUN

Hello again to everyone, recently I have been reading a book entitled Eat Right 4 Your Type, and lots of very interesting points came up, which primarily dealt with Eating for your Blood type. One of the many key points mentioned was how Lectins which are diverse proteins found in food affect your blood. The authors went on to say that when we eat foods containing these proteins called Lectins which are incompatible with your your blood type this causes a gumming effect interfering with digestion, insulin production, food metabolism and hormonal balance. The key here seeing that Lectins are found in most foods we eat, is to avoid the Lectins that agglutinate our blood type. For example we know gluten the most common Lectin found primarily in wheat is different from the Lectin found in Soy. What gluten does is that it binds to the lining of the small intestine and cause substantial information an painful irritation in some blood types.

The thing is we have certain strengths and weaknesses based on our blood type thus by eating the foods that are compatible to our blood type that have been predominant from ever since then, you will come to realize that none of us really need to create or go look for a diet plan, because one has already been there for us from ever since we just have been ignoring it all this time, and simply going around in circles.

Let me just stop here and break it down for you guys, back in the days early Humans were essentially Carnivorous Scavengers, now Human beings are essentially Omnivorous which means we eat Plant & Animals. Now the problem here due to the rise of technology man has found many ways to complicate things, with the modern processing technology we began to strip foodstuff of their essential ingredients and remove them from their natural state, so here's something to think about people in the RDAs (Recommended Daily Allowances) published by the USDA are for Age and Sex, basically what our nutritional experts are telling us is that the vast array of other human differences does not apply or affect the equation.

This people is madness it is a classic example of what is called Reductionism which means to take an entire population and reduce it down to the measurable commonalities by Age and Sex and build a premise from those commonalities, people this is total madness the system is screwing with us because the very people we depend on are a major factor in the whole health care problem today. What they are doing is Generalising Nutrition. We know that food affects everyone differently we all have our own metabolic typing, a man in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean or America cannot eat the same foods and have the same results impossible, they all have their individual blue print, so the bottom line is this, stop letting the system use us as lab rats, find out what is your metabolic typing, in doing so you will learn what foods you should be eating and how they affect your body, and further to also find out what's your blood type, using these to formulas will help to improve the quality of life, help reduce diseases and help to promote a long lasting and healthy life.

Until the next DIALOGUE I'm out remember, an investment in your health is the best investment you can make for your life.

7 Foods not to EAT

Hello everyone today i am not writing anything, however I am posting this article which was Written By Prevention Magazine and Published December 02, 2011. I posted this article because it says and supports everything I believe in regarding process food and natural food, I would just like to say thanks to the people responsible for this piece of work and I hope that after reading it many of you will have a clearer understanding about health and nutrition, happy reading.  

Food scientists are shedding light on items loaded with toxins and chemicals--and simple swaps for a cleaner diet and supersized health. Clean eating means choosing fruits, vegetables, and meats that are raised, grown, and sold with minimal processing. Often they're organic, and rarely (if ever) should they contain additives. But in some cases, the methods of today's food producers are neither clean nor sustainable. The result is damage to our health, the environment, or both. So we decided to take a fresh look at food through the eyes of the people who spend their lives uncovering what's safe--or not--to eat. We asked them a simple question: "What foods do you avoid?" Their answers don't necessarily make up a "banned foods" list. But reaching for the suggested alternatives might bring you better health--and peace of mind.

1. The Endocrinologist Won't Eat: Canned Tomatoes

Fredrick Vom Saal, is an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A.

The problem: The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Unfortunately, acidity (a prominent characteristic of tomatoes) causes BPA to leach into your food. Studies show that the BPA in most people's body exceeds the amount that suppresses sperm production or causes chromosomal damage to the eggs of animals. "You can get 50 mcg of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that's a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young," says vom Saal. "I won't go near canned tomatoes."

The solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. You can also get several types in Tetra Pak boxes, like Trader Joe's and Pomi.

Budget tip: If your recipe allows, substitute bottled pasta sauce for canned tomatoes. Look for pasta sauces with low sodium and few added ingredients, or you may have to adjust the recipe.

2. The Farmer Won't Eat: Corn-Fed Beef

Joel Salatin is co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of half a dozen books on sustainable farming.

The problem: Cattle evolved to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. But more money for cattle farmers (and lower prices at the grocery store) means a lot less nutrition for us. A recent comprehensive study conducted by the USDA and researchers from Clemson University found that compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium, and potassium; lower in inflammatory omega-6s; and lower in saturated fats that have been linked to heart disease. "We need to respect the fact that cows are herbivores, and that does not mean feeding them corn and chicken manure," says Salatin.

The solution: Buy grass-fed beef, which can be found at specialty grocers, farmers' markets, and nationally at Whole Foods. It's usually labeled because it demands a premium, but if you don't see it, ask your butcher.

Budget tip: Cuts on the bone are cheaper because processors charge extra for deboning. You can also buy direct from a local farmer, which can be as cheap as $5 per pound. To find a farmer near you, search eatwild.com.

3. The Toxicologist Won't Eat: Microwave Popcorn 

Olga Naidenko, is a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group.

The problem: Chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), in the lining of the bag, are part of a class of compounds that may be linked to infertility in humans, according to a recent study from UCLA. In animal testing, the chemicals cause liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwaving causes the chemicals to vaporize--and migrate into your popcorn. "They stay in your body for years and accumulate there," says Naidenko, which is why researchers worry that levels in humans could approach the amounts causing cancers in laboratory animals. DuPont and other manufacturers have promised to phase out PFOA by 2015 under a voluntary EPA plan, but millions of bags of popcorn will be sold between now and then.

The solution: Pop natural kernels the old-fashioned way: in a skillet. For flavorings, you can add real butter or dried seasonings, such as dillweed, vegetable flakes, or soup mix.

Budget tip: Popping your own popcorn is dirt cheap

4. The Farm Director Won't Eat: Nonorganic Potatoes

Jeffrey Moyer is the chair of the National Organic Standards Board.

The problem: Root vegetables absorb herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that wind up in soil. In the case of potatoes--the nation's most popular vegetable--they're treated with fungicides during the growing season, then sprayed with herbicides to kill off the fibrous vines before harvesting. After they're dug up, the potatoes are treated yet again to prevent them from sprouting. "Try this experiment: Buy a conventional potato in a store, and try to get it to sprout. It won't," says Moyer, who is also farm director of the Rodale Institute (also owned by Rodale Inc., the publisher of Prevention). "I've talked with potato growers who say point-blank they would never eat the potatoes they sell. They have separate plots where they grow potatoes for themselves without all the chemicals."

The solution: Buy organic potatoes. Washing isn't good enough if you're trying to remove chemicals that have been absorbed into the flesh.

Budget tip: Organic potatoes are only $1 to $2 a pound, slightly more expensive than conventional spuds.

5. The Fisheries Expert Won't Eat: Farmed Salmon

Dr. David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany, published a major study in the journal Science on contamination in fish.

The problem: Nature didn't intend for salmon to be crammed into pens and fed soy, poultry litter, and hydrolyzed chicken feathers. As a result, farmed salmon is lower in vitamin D and higher in contaminants, including carcinogens, PCBs, brominated flame retardants, and pesticides such as dioxin and DDT. According to Carpenter, the most contaminated fish come from Northern Europe, which can be found on American menus. "You could eat one of these salmon dinners every 5 months without increasing your risk of cancer," says Carpenter, whose 2004 fish contamination study got broad media attention. "It's that bad." Preliminary science has also linked DDT to diabetes and obesity, but some nutritionists believe the benefits of omega-3s outweigh the risks. There is also concern about the high level of antibiotics and pesticides used to treat these fish. When you eat farmed salmon, you get dosed with the same drugs and chemicals.

The solution: Switch to wild-caught Alaska salmon. If the package says fresh Atlantic, it's farmed. There are no commercial fisheries left for wild Atlantic salmon.

Budget tip: Canned salmon, almost exclusively from wild catch, can be found for as little as $3 a can.

6. The Cancer Researcher Won't Drink: Milk Produced With Artificial Hormones

Rick North is project director of the Campaign for Safe Food at the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility and former CEO of the Oregon division of the American Cancer Society.

The problem: Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST, as it is also known) to boost milk production. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor in milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate, and colon cancers. "When the government approved rBGH, it was thought that IGF-1 from milk would be broken down in the human digestive tract," says North. As it turns out, the casein in milk protects most of it, according to several independent studies. "There's not 100 percent proof that this is increasing cancer in humans," admits North. "However, it's banned in most industrialized countries."

The solution: Check labels for rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without artificial hormones, or organic milk. These phrases indicate rBGH-free products.

7. The Organic-Foods Expert Won't Eat: Conventional Apples

Mark Kastel, a former executive for agribusiness, is codirector of the Cornucopia Institute, a farm-policy research group that     supports organic foods.

The problem: If fall fruits held a "most doused in pesticides contest," apples would win. Why? They are individually grafted (descended from a single tree) so that each variety maintains its distinctive flavor. As such, apples don't develop resistance to pests and are sprayed frequently. The industry maintains that these residues are not harmful. But Kastel counters that it's just common sense to minimize exposure by avoiding the most doused produce, like apples. "Farm workers have higher rates of many cancers," he says. And increasing numbers of studies are starting to link a higher body burden of pesticides (from all sources) with Parkinson's disease.

The solution: Buy organic apples.

Budget tip: If you can't afford organic, be sure to wash and peel them. But Kastel personally refuses to compromise. "I would rather see the trade-off being that I don't buy that expensive electronic gadget," he says. "Just a few of these decisions will accommodate an organic diet for a family."

What Does Raw Food Mean?

Today I want to talk briefly about Eating Raw... What does this mean?Eating Raw simply means eating foods in its natural form that has not been cooked in a temperature higher than 118 degrees Fahrenheit. When food is cooked above this temperature lots of its natural enzymes are broken down, causing your digestive system to do more work in producing more enzymes to break down this food in order for your body to absorb it, when in fact we should be doing more of the opposite, eating more natural foods which are higher in enzymes which our bodies need. Now everyone has joined the health crave bandwagon, you have this one and that one telling you this is better for you and that is not good, you should eat this and not that, but really people, we just need to eat more Natural Foods. We have been mentally brain washed with all this hype and marketing. I remember back in the days, I grew up with my grand-mom and we would go in the back garden and pick fresh corn and fresh tomatoes, eat mangoes of the trees and eat our own home grown chickens. Now everything is processed, too much fat, too much cholesterol, when the truth of the matter is that who ate more fat and consumed lots of foods high in these stuff but our grandparents, but you know what the main problem is back then things took its natural course to grow, can't say that for the food today, because you still have lots of food being grown fast yet they label them and say its natural...Please! This is the problem.There are some people out there that have these "natural" and "organic veggi" eating outlets but they still buy food stuff in tins like beans and what not, and they have the nerve to tell people that this is vegan food and natural. Come on people! If you are promoting something then do it right 100% all the way or just pack up and forget it cause your lying to the people and that's wrong.  For those of you and you know who you are, get your act together or get out. If we just take time to stop and check whats going on we don't need all these people telling us what to eat, cause there's lots of them and you know what, people are not living as long as my grand-mom who is 85 years old and many others like her and that's another problem. We are so health conscious that our generation can't even live to reach 60 years comfortable... Hello! Most of us will die before we even get close, but yet we have all these people telling us what we should and should not eat, so my friends just eat natural foods and forget all the hype. Stay away from process foods, exercise everyday and  get your rest. Enjoy all the foods you can but in its natural form as possible and I guarantee most of us will live to reach 85 years and more...Till the next Dialogue... I'm out! Keep it real, keep it natural.

Why We Need Water?

Dehydration is the loss of water from the body, and a depletion of
electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium). It is recommended to
drink 8-10 glasses of water daily but really we cannot put a figure
to just drink sufficient amounts of it daily.

Today I would like to talk about The Dietary Importance of Water. Water as we know it is the most abundant substance in our body. All of our cells in our body are made up of 55 to 75 percent of our total body weight. The food we eat contains about seventy percent water. Did you know that drinking 5 glasses of water a day can lower the risk of deadly heart disease? This study was released in April 2002 at The Loma Linda University. Researchers there said that people who drank five eight-ounces glasses of water daily were about half as likely to die of coronary heart disease as oppose to those who drank two glasses of water a day. Dr. Jacqueline Chan said; "The benefits were far greater than that of stopping smoking or lowering cholesterol". She went on to say that;"This is a really simple method of preventing coronary heart disease". Coffee, Soda, Milk, and Caffeinated Sodas did not show any statistically significant heart benefits. Dr Chan said that more research was needed to confirm the findings, but that researchers already adjusted the figures to account for other potential factors in heart disease fatalities such as smoking, calorie intake, exercise, blood pressure and socioeconomic status. The study also indicated that dehydration could elevate the risk factor such as Blood Viscosity, which brings me to my next point that ninety percent of our fluid blood is comprised of water, not to mention that a reduction in water means more concentrated blood. More importantly is that only a five percent loss of water from our blood can cause the blood to get thicker which contributes to clotting which makes the blood less efficient in delivering oxygen to our brain and muscles. Water contributes to energy storage, If you do not drink enough water to facilitate this, extra glucose remains in your blood stream until it reaches your liver, then the glucose is stored as fat, this means that you can get fatter or gain weight when you do not consume adequate amounts of water daily. So people the bottom line is this, Do not wait until you are feeling thirsty to drink water. By this time you are already dehydrated. Keep in mind that our muscles are made up of 70% to 80% water, although other drinks like milk, sodas and fruit juices are thirst quenchers, they actually increase your need for water.

Until then. Lets continue to Dialogue.

The GOOD FATS

In my last post I spoke about Trans Fats and Saturated Fats, Today I will Speak about the Healthy Fats these being Unsaturated Fats and is mainly found in Vegetables. This type of fat includes Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated Fats, monounsaturated fats are olive oil, canola oils and peanut oils. These types of oils remain liquid at room temperature but will thicken when refrigerated this type of fat is considered one of the healthiest type of Fat for your body, which are also found in nuts and avocados. Polyunsaturated Fats are found in soybean , corn oils, and sunflower oils, these type of oils remain liquid at room temperature and also when refrigerated, For this reason it  is also the second best type of fat for your body and does not contribute to the clogging of your arteries. There is yet another type of fat known as unsaturated fat such as vegetable oils which are manufactured into a solid form, which are then turned into trans fats, These types of fats is commonly called fully or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and can be found on the ingredients label of most processed products. Trans fats are mainly used in foods to protect against spoiling and also to enhance the flavour. Restaurants and fast-food outlets tend to use this type of trans fat allot (hydrogenated vegetable oil), especially for frying. so my friends the next time you go out to eat be wise, not because it is tasting good means that is healthy for your body, know the difference from good fats and bad fats read your labels and try to avoid eating out to much... until then thanks for the Dialogue I'm out.

Does the HCG Diet Work?

Why We Need FAT?

Saturated Fats and Trans Fats can be found in most
fast-foods and fried products.

There are lots of reasons why our bodies need fat. Firstly Fat acts as the storage system for excess calories we consume mainly from dietary fat, carbohydrates and proteins. Fats are essential ingredients used to maintain healthy skin and hair also it acts as a carrier for the transportation of fat-soluble vitamins like A,D,E and vitamin K. Dietary Fats provides us with essential fatty acids, and these fatty acids our bodies don't produce, they also help with the regulation of blood pressure and cholesterol in your body. While we need fats in our diet it is also important to identify the types of fats that can damage our cardiovascular system and clog our arteries these being Saturated Fats and Trans Fat. Saturated Fats comes mainly from animal products and dairy but also it can be found in coconut and palm oils as well. Trans Fat comes from hydrogenated vegetables oils such as margarine and vegetable shortening, you might ask what is hydrogenated vegetable oil well it is high tech process in which Vegetable seeds are cleaned and bleached to remove all colour, taste, smells and impurities. The liquid vegetable oil is then heated to high temperatures and a catalyst (commonly nickel, but could be palladium, platinum or rhodium) is added. Hydrogen is bubbled through the liquid. The mixture is then filtered to remove the metal, leaving hydrogenated vegetable oil.Water, whey, salt, vitamins, colourings, flavourings and emulsifiers may then be added to produce hydrogenated margarine. More on this topic to come until then be wise about your fats, be healthy.

Whats the all the Hype about FATS...

In today's society there is a big deal about Fats in our diet.  But some how we seam to forget that our grandparent diet consisted and included lots of fat but for some strange reason they suffered from less illness than us young people of the "Modern Era". Now every corner you turn to there is some marketing HYPE about diet and exercise and they focus on Fat as the culprit for the increase in heart disease and obesity.  They are all round the human body cannot function effeciently without a sufficient supply of fats in our body. An athelete fat acts as a secondary source of energy during training and or competition. Our fat-based energy becomes available soon after our carbohydrate stores in our muscles have become depleted.  Fats are also known as "lipids" did you know that even though carbohydrates are your body's major source of energy, fats are the most and highly concentrated source of energy over carbohydrates and proteins. I will continue this article later on in the week its time we educate ourselves people the information is out there just take some time to read until then...

Here is a look at why ViSalus Sciences is leading the way in nutrition... its clear that ViSalus offers
more nutrition for their customers than the others brands. So you do your homework, do your research
and you will see in order to support a healthy life style, not only eating natural is the way but we also
need a good supplement, if we rely on eating naturally only we will have to eat all day bascially...
