How about those nights when you’re Awake staring at the ceiling, your brain is going 100 miles an hour and you can’t Sleep….
I can’t feel my foot Man…
Relax the Right Way
Theanine is a revolutionary all natural remedy which will help you De-stress, Boosts your immune system and dramatically Improves your brain function and memory…
Theanine works by shutting down the “worrying” part of the brain and increases the ability to concentrate and focus one’s thoughts, as measured by the increased generation of brain alpha waves.
Some believe that theanine even makes learning easier.
The cool thing is your probably taking small amounts of it daily if you drink Tea (25 mgs of Theanine per cup)
The problem is you probably aren’t taking enough to get any benefits…
Thats why I recommend supplementing with the amino acid Theanine. Its derived from Tea Leaves and its very safe with out any Side Effects. Take 50-100 mgs whenever you are feeling stressed from daily life or if you need a good-nights sleep after a long hard day.
Best of all, it promotes Relaxation without Drowsiness…Give it a shot!

Hey I have the perfect snack for you when you get those late night cravings and you ate enough for the day…
I want to share a list of sneaky snacks and foods that I incorporate into my daily diet.
Many of these choices are zero and low calorie foods and beverages that will greatly reduce your overall caloric intake thus helping you lose more fat.
I love these zero calorie snacks because I can virtually eat an UNLIMITED amount of them and not gain a single pound of fat.
Granted the “high calorie” version tastes much better, but adding these zero and low calorie choices to your meals will greatly enhance the flavor without adding much calories.
1 pound of fat is 3500 calories and by simply reducing 500 calories a day you can lose
an entire pound of fat per week!
One hour of moderate exercise burns approximately 500-800 calories. By substituting these ultra healthy choices in your daily nutrition, you can burn off hundreds of additional calories per day!
Be sure to add some of these ultra healthy choices to your shopping list. I also provided websites for ordering products online along with recipes to make your life easier.
If you happen to have your own low calorie choices be sure add a comment and let me know.
The more options we have the easier this gets…
p.s- I even did my research and contacted most of these companies to make sure they match their label claims… Believe me some of these taste to good to be true!

Cold Exposure
This is the reason why Michael Phelps can eat 12,000 calories a day and not gain any body fat. Losing weight through exposure to cold weather has been researched and scientifically proven by the military, NASA and recent experiments in the medical field.
I am not going to get into the exact science behind how it works in this post, however if you are interested I will gladly provide all of the documentation and studies done on the effects of Cold Weather and Weight Loss.
I want to show you how you can utilize this Sneaky method to accelerate your progress and reach your fitness goals as FAST as Possible!
Cold Exposure Strategies from the most difficult to the easiest
(Add them into your lifestyle as often as you can)
1. Lie in a tub filled with water and ice- 20 mins a day
2. Take a cold shower – 15 mins Twice a day
3. Sit with Ice pack or frozen veggies around your neck for 2-3 hours a day
4. Drink ice cold water all day long- Focus on having 8 glasses a day
Your Sneaky Fitness Challenge for the week
Walk 30 mins 3 times a week in cold weather – Preferably with an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
Walk as if you are late for a meeting.
Jogging is optional.
Wear a jacket but just enough to get a light shiver. Shivering is a sign that your metabolism is being boosted and you’re burning fat.
Make sure to wear gloves and a scarf to avoid frostbite.
As long as the temperature is above 0 degrees Fahrenheit you’ll be fine. Remember its only 30 mins.
Listen to an ipod and enjoy!
P.S- The Super lazy method is to simply turn the heat off at your house (Just Kidding)
I met AJ, my trainer (www.lifefuelfit.com), at my sister’s birthday party. AJ is a professional trainer and nutritionist that had also trained my sister. I had noticed how much weight my sister had lost and how toned up she had become, so I promised myself then and there that I would get myself to 225 lbs and as a prize would start working with AJ to drop more weight and get into better shape.
I had always wanted to hire and work with a personal trainer, but the financial burden was too much to take on in the past. As the years went by, my financial status improved and I realized the benefit of investing money into my own body and health would be far more beneficial than spending on frivolous and materialistic things.
On that note, I contacted AJ for consultation and a trial workout, but after the first session I was in love with AJ’s methods and knowledge and I realized he was worth the investment, as I was walking out of the gym a stronger and more motivated person. AJ not only trained me within the gym, he also gave me the information towards developing a healthy lifestyle.

One of the best ways to improve your body composition is by increasing lean muscle tone.
Each pound of muscle burns up 50 calories per day, so by adding muscle tone- you are essentially burning fat while doing nothing!
When it comes to increasing muscle tone resistance exercise is the absolute best!
It’s well-known that people who challenge their bodies with resistance exercises have more muscle than those that do cardio alone.
And, depending on the diet and other daily activities, these people often have less body fat.
Challenging resistance exercise improves your body composition by stimulating muscle protein synthesis pathways and enhancing fat oxidation (fat burning) for several hours after your exercise session is over.
Scientific studies have shown us that certain foods can enhance the amount of fat burned for energy several hours after the weight lifting session is over, and increase the amount of muscle synthesized.
Specifically, a high protein meal has been shown in many different scientific studies to increase muscle tone when consumed after any resistance exercise.
The best time to eat a high protein meal for this effect is 30 minutes after you workout.
Recently, researchers from Michigan State University showed that when a high protein meal was taken after an exercise session, resting energy expenditure (REE) was significantly elevated for 24 hours compared to a carbohydrate-only diet.
REE is an important measure of the amount of calories you burn in one day and accounts for about 60-75% of your total daily energy expenditure.
Thus, if you have a higher REE, you will burn more calories in the day and store less of them as body fat. Enjoy a high protein meal within 30 minutes after exercise for the best effect and watch those fat cells run away in fear.
Healthy High Protein Foods and Servings
6 oz (size of deck of cards) lean chicken breast- lean fish, or turkey breast slices, 1 can of water packed tuna fish, 8 egg whites, turkey burger patty , 90% lean ground beef , 3/4 cup fat free cottage cheese, 1 scoop of whey protein powder

“My workouts with AJ have exceeded my expectations. As a military veteran, I thought I new everything there was to know about fitness and nutrition. Though, after just one session with AJ, I realized that there was still much to learn. Whatever your fitness goals are, AJ will definitely deliver results.”
