Hey guys , I have not tried this gum before so I cannot say for sure that chewing a piece of gum can help you lose weight or not.

But from my own research there is a good possibility that there is a gum called Supresalin 60 gum that can do just that.

There is a lot of science that backs up this gum. And the main ingredients that makes it so effective is a herb called Adigam. This herb grows in parts of India and Malysia and has been getting a great deal of noteriety from scientists , nutritionists , and health nuts like myself ! :)

The major factor (Adigam) working behind this weight reduction gum is that it reduces you overasll cravings to eat more food !! This is basically the reason why people are over weight because they cannot satisfy their cravings !

So how does this Gum work to lose weight ?? Well, when you get a real strong craving to eat you pop a piece of  Supresalin 60 gum in your mouth and start chewing. What happens when you do this ?? The herb in the gum called Adigam begins to work as it binds to the sugar receptors in your mouth. And this curbs your cravings  for the next hour or so and  you are unable to taste any kind of sugar. This is like a double whammy and kills your cravings in less than a minute. Your body doesn’t have to digest anything as it is directly absorbed in your mouth immediately.

Another aspect of Supresalin 60 gum is that it disrupts how the brain associates food with pleasure. So after taking this gum you fail to get pleasure from certain food, especially comfort food,  that you once did before. Thus reducing the addiction that so many have towards a certain type of food when they experience stress, anger and other emotional feelings !

There has been clinical studies done on this  gum with real people. These studies show that the gum reduces craving and reduces the taste of sugar to a degree of 22%  less calories than the placebo group of people. That is a lot of   calories and results in a reduction in fat and over weight.

Now at this blog I have always stressed that eating good foods( but not perfect)  and developing a manageable exercise regimen with adopting healthy mental and spiritual assets are the key success to losing weight and staying healthy.

But for some people this Gum COULD be a good way to  jump start their weight losing journey.

I have not tried the gum but from what I see it COULD be legitimate !!

Cheers,

Robert Andrew

About 7 months ago I was really hurting when I went and ran for the first time in a few months. I literally could not run more than a half mile. I clearly remember the humility I felt about this. And I also remember at the gym I joined with my wife last December, I had an extremely hard time to finish even 10 minutes on the elliptical . Those months were really weird as my body was under some  “spell” or something where I would take a run and just had to stop 3 or 4 times. You know in the past Id never experienced this since about the 6th grade or so !! A lot of it was physical gut I think most was mental.

However, things changed for me when I went home to visit my parents in June. I ran almost every day there and just felt so  strong.  And this continued throughout most of the Fall until about 6 weeks ago when my  Heart started to skip beats and go fast then go slow etc.. the doctors said everything is fine.

So these last few days I have been running on my own. And last night was a real breakthrough. I felt strong as I ran 6.5 miles in 50 minutes. I felt I could have gone on another 4 miles or so. Needless to say this was really very encouraging!

Its funny how things can workout in one’s Life. At some point you can feel so down and out but then you find just around the corner greatness and fulfillment can hit you right smack in the face. ;)

So you guys keep on keeping on and NEVER give up in anything you do in Life !!

Cheers,
Robert Andrew

Here is a list of foods that will give you more of those unwanted cravings which in turn will cause more fat in the belly and all around the body !!

1. Fruit Juice – Many people say fruit juice is good for you because it has antioxidants such as vitamin c for overall good health. But the fact is they are loaded with high fructose syrup and are full of sugar.
So the level of good you get from antioxidants from juice will be completely offset by the sugar. This sugar in turn causes your blood sugar to increase and your cravings to increase…..and bottom line your belly fat will skyrocket !!

So what do you do ?? You should eat actual fruit to curb the increase of blood sugar in your system !!

2. White bread – This form of food is completely without any nutrition and acts as pure starch and as a result increases your blood sugar and as we have seen increases cravings and belly fat !!

Stay away from white bread and look for alternatives like whole grain wheat bread !!

3. Majority of cereals – Most cereals are loaded with sugar. And most people eat multiple servings of it and wonder why just a few hours later they are craving more food.
Try cereals that are higher in fiber and minimal on sugar. For every gram of fiber have 5 grams of sugar ;this should be a minimum !

Alternative to cereal are wholesome foods such as natural oatmeal sprinkled with some blueberries or strawberries. Just be sure to avoid the instant oatmeal , it is loaded with sugar !!

Be smart with your diet. This stuff above aint rocket science !! It is basic, principle dietary jargon that you can implement into your lifestyle and ultimately lead to a slimmer and healthier you !!

Be proud of your body and be proud of what you put into it !!

Cheers to your success ,
Robert Andrew

Hey guys, whats up ??
I just ran a 5.5 miler last night and it felt great !! Last week I had been running with my daughters in the stroller. I was getting some killer workouts but I still missed running on my own.

I will also do a 5 miler on my own tomorrow and really look forward to that.

As most of you know in the last 6 weeks or so I have had these funny palpitations in my Heart. But it seems like here in the last 2 weeks they have subsided. This all happened after I finished the tests I had done at the cardiologists.

Maybe these palpitations are not that uncommon amongst people as the Cardiologist said to me. I will just keep an eye on it and make sure to lay off any heavy cardio if I experience these funny heart beats like I did 5 weeks ago.

Anyway, I have kept up my other training to keep my upper body in good shape. These include 250 to 350 pushups Monday thru Friday and 200 situps these same days.

Its weird but I have gotten more definition out of my chest muscles (pecs) than any other free weight training I have done in the past. And this workout takes about the tenth of time it takes to do a free weight routine.
I am not sure though if I could do a heavy bench press like I could do when I was weight training. But I am also sure when I was lifting the heaviest I could NOT do over 200 straight pushup without stopping like I can now !! :)

There is nothing like working out. And they say if you dont have your health (and Spirituality) then you dont have anything.

The more I grow older the more I believe in this. Please to any of you who take your health for granted, just DONT.

Make sure to take care of your bodies as it is the only one you will ever have ,and the one God gave you as a temple.

Cheers to a long and happy life,
Robert Andrew

Just a quick Post to you guys………I know tonight you might be partying or eating some of those trick or treat goodies. Go ahead and enjoy yourselves ,but remember tomorrow you have to balance what you did on Halloween with an extra mile or so or maybe eat a nice Salad with low fat dressing tomorrow.

As many of you know I in no way support the notion that you always have to eat a strict and unenjoyable diet. Just keep the junk food to a minimal and make sure you eat plenty of lean proteins, nuts, fruit and vegetables and keep the Carbs down as best you can !!

Once again have a Happy Halloween and go out and really spook someone
tonight !! :)

I forgot to mention the day before yesterday I went and saw my Cardiologist. A week or so before this, I had an echocadiagram, stress test, and a 24 hr. holster to measure my heart activity.

He said all looked good at least the “plumbing” of my Heart did. I am not sure exactly what that means ,but he went ahead and scheduled another appointment with another Cardiologist who specializes in the “electrical” part of the Heart.

He also said he did see the irregular heart beats (palpitations) but he said everyone has those. He said it could be due to stress. For one thing, I do not believe that everyone has had palpitations to the extent I have had them. I know that for a fact by just asking many family and friends if they have had similar ones to mine. And no one has.

I don’t know……… sometimes I just wonder about these doctors and if they really know for sure what is wrong and even care !! Its debatable !!!

But I will see this heart doctor and see if there is something wrong with the ‘electrical’ part of my Heart.

Anyway, I have continued working out and especially in the last 4 days. I have done 3 mile+ runs at a brisk pace with my daughters in the stroller. I tell you what these have been killer workouts and my heart, muscles, and all my body seem to be working just fine.

So this comforts me that maybe not all is wrong with my Heart. Maybe these palpitations are just something I have to live with but are not serious.

I tell you one thing its good to be hitting the pavement again !! :)

Until next time take care
Robert Andrew

Here are 3 deceiving and sneaky Tricks to rid Stomach Fat swiftly !

SNEAKY TRICK #1
: Its called the ‘Calorie Confusion Mix Up ‘. As we have said earlier that drastically cutting calories for an extensive period of time will cause massive hunger and decrease the hormones that burn fat if done longer than a week.

However if you dont diet believe it or not you can lose that belly fat. How ?? The answer that is that you reduce the number of calories you eat every seven days just so your body ‘does not realize’ this and will not reduce those fat burning hormones like Glucagen.

Now dont eat some kind of cheat meal. But you should
actually reduce the number of calories within these 7 days.

If you do this ‘confusion’ method (the correct way that is) you repair your messed up metabolism and you deceive your body into Continuously burning the body fat without increasing those cravings or hunger.

SNEAKY TRICK #2: Consume the 38 foods that literally melt that belly fat away. I will get more into all of them in later posts but they include dark chocolate, peanut butter, turkey legs etc…They will kill body fat for specific reasons , while there are other foods that will add on body fat. The secret is to know the difference and exchange the bad for the good !!

These good foods do not contain the obesity additives that we can easily get hooked on.They will actually eliminate those cravings that we want to get rid of. Plus much of that toxic waste and excess water will be removed in the first two weeks.

And Cortisol ,that fat producing hormone, will be reduced by 18% in the first two weeks by eating just these 37 foods.

SNEAKY TRICK #3
: Its called the ‘Thermal Burn Technique’ and developed by health guru Rob Poulos. You see some calories cause what is called a ‘thermal burn’ while other calories are plain useless weight !!

And make a big note of this, up to 31% of the calories you consume from certain foods will disappear with high thermal burn. This is because of the calories it takes just to to digest them.

So, if you eat 2,000 calories of certain fat reducing foods your body will count it as only 1400 calories. So basically you have eaten and done away 600 calories. Pretty cool, uh !

But they all are not diet foods. Well no, how about pan pizza and a juicy cheeseburger or a plate of saucy spaghetti ??

The ‘Thermal Burn Technique’ enables you to eat more foods to burn more calories and ultimately more of that belly fat and get your metabolism back on track :)

Cheers,

PROBLEM #1: Your hormones are completely going haywire. We have talked about this before but Cortisol and Insulin are two hormones that tend to raise fat levels when they increase.

Cortisol will build up when you experience any long term stress or anxiety.
And when you eat the wrong foods your Insulin tends to go way up thus producing a lot of body fat. And Glucagen which is a fat burner gets turned off.

PROBLEM # 2 Here is a fallacy : You should cut your calories drastically for a long period of time to try to lose weight. This is so wrong !!

This will only result in severe cravings as your body recognizes nutrient deficiency in your body. This depraved deficit in nutrients will send to your brain that you need to eat more food.
And fill your stomach to the brim.

As a result. people begin to eat food that have no nutrients which in turn causes more cravings and everything totally gets out of control.

After about a week or two of dieting your body is programmed to fight back by lowering the hormones that keep your metabolism running along smoothly. The thyroid gland is one that comes to mind as is burns calories.
But at this same time your body can increase a hormone called Leptin which increases your hunger and appetite.

And bottom line is that your quest to burn fat comes to a major halt !!!

At this point you will be forced to reduce calories and do exercise at the same time, which is a bummer !!!

PROBLEM #3: The food you eat is laced with obesity based ingredients !!

Giant food corporations make big moolah by stuffing food with low nutrient ingredients with cheap preservatives which produce nothing but fat and obesity !!
These foods can affect brain chemistry called neurotransmitters ,much like cocaine and other drugs, making us in a sense becoming addicted to these fat producing foods.

Fun right ??

Well, I will go into the three tricks to help you rid yourself of this stuff forever in tomorrows Post !!

Joel Marion ,a fellow health nut and weight loss enthusiasts, came up with his top 3 nutritional bars , and I added one of my own favorites..

1. – Its called KIND

In KIND bars you will find a great blend of dried fruits, nuts, and other top natural ingredients. You should be able to find them at you local health store and in many cases at your regular grocery store.
One highly recommended flavor by many people is the Almond and Apricot with the yogurt bars. They are very scrumptous as well as having very low GI ( scoring a impressive 28) and have about 4 grams of fiber.

2. – Organic Food Bar
This bar really taste great and jams in 22 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber in the protein version.

3. – Prograde Organic Cravers
According to Joe, this is far and beyond the best tasting nutritional bar out on the market ! Its got plenty of fiber and he says the dark chocolate organic flavor is really good. !!
And the chocolate peanut butter also rocks. Right now you can save 15% for another day with the coupon code at Progradestore.com/cravers!!

4. My fav is the Cliff bar !! Its is simple but a great tasting bar, and packs in 10 grams of protein. One of my favorite lunches to make is a cliff bar lightly spread with peanut butter along with some ,carrots, broccoli spears, cauliflower and a apple. I will finish this off with a nutty butty bar for my desert.

Uhmm….uhm just makes me hungry thinking about it !! :)

Have a great week and remember the coupon for Joe’s fav bar above. It lasts only for one more day.

Cheers,

Well, the reason I bring this topic up is that my lovely wife is currently on Weight Watchers for the past month or so.

The results haven’t been mind blowing as far as losing weight, but she has lost 10 lbs in the first month or so. It is slow weight loss but very steady.

She is happy with these results and if she is happy then I am happy :)

Here is the deal with weight watchers; you can pretty much eat anything you want but you are given so may points for each kind of food in a week that you can eat…. In other wards if you eat a donut at Krispy creme you will use up a lot of your points so you will have to make up for these high amount of used points. Consequently, you may eat something like broccoli that uses a low amount of points.

In a way this is somewhat indirectly similar to the way I approach how you eat and the balance you can have in your diet.
In my eating regimen you should focus on low carbs, lean proteins, vegetables, fruit, and wheat and grains.
You can splurge here an there with a pizza or ice cream sundae but be sure to balance it out with a nice garden salad the next day for lunch :)

Remember people balance, balance, and more balance. This is true in aspects of your Life including eating and working out.
