Drink You Should Stay Away From of the Day

I’m a firm believer that what we drink is making us more fat than what we eat. So today’s tip of the day is… Avoid anything that comes in a Box, Can, has alcohol, or plastic container. The reason: All of these drinks contain High Fructose Corn Syrup which is public enemy número 1 when it comes to weight loss (Read why here). This is what you should be drinking:

Water: You can never go wrong drinking water. When it comes to weight loss water is one of your best allies.
Lemon juice with water: If you don’t like water like my mom, then I recommend you squeeze a fresh lemon inside to give it some taste. Lemon juice has an additional benefit; it helps reduce insulin levels (Read why this is good here).
Natural Fruit Juice: Natural fruit juice can be tricky, because if you don’t prepare it right it can actually make you gain weight. First thing you must avoid is removing the fiber. Fiber is an essential nutrient that has tons of benefits, one of the being increasing the time of absorption of sugars (this prevents insulin spikes and cravings). Don’t add any sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Homemade Ice Tea: This is one of my favorite recipes for drinks, because it adds all of the above. All you have to do is put some fruit in a pot full of water, let it boil with some tea bags, and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Fat Loss Program of the Day

The Super Hero Workout was created by self proclaimed pretty boy John Romaniello,

Fitness model body

author of the best selling fat loss program Final Phase Fat Loss . With all the superhero movies out this year, John decided to create this program in order to help guys achieve that sexy and delicious body girls crave (Not all of them do, but most of them prefer firm biceps, than man boobs).

John has teamed up with Matt McGorry (Read some of his accomplishments here) in order to produce the best fitness program possible. There are four phases you must complete which are:

Strength and Power
Speed and Agility
Mass and Increased Strength
Density and Aesthetic Fitness

Here are some of the benefits you will get after finishing the 4 phases:

Get rid of all those nagging weak spots that put a “stain” on your all the effort you’ve put in
Zap away any remaining pounds of fat that didn’t get the hint the first time around, for the lowest overall body fat count you’ve ever known
Find out which “power foods” actually generate muscle and when is the best time to eat them.
Find out how Spiderman’s wall crawling abilities and Scarlett Johansson’s killer moves in Iron Man 2 are connected to toning and defining every last muscle to its maximum point.

Fitness Model of The Day

I’m not going to be one of those guys that only puts female models. I want to give my female audience something to entertain their sight with. Today I’m going to introduce to you Nick Auger. I have no idea who he is and I’m not wasting my time looking him up. I’m not good with male models names, so I would really appreciate you leaving a comment with some of their names.
