The Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan Part 8.
The Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan
Part Eight.
A Crash course on Fat Burners #2.
Hi, we will continue with our lesson on Fat burning supplements.
...........
Cordyceps
...........
Cordyceps sinesis is another compound which has some “stimulating”
effects, similar to that of a strong cup of coffee. Studies on
this compound indicate it seems to mimic the effects of adrenaline
as well as have potent beta-adrenergic activity. About 500 mg of cordyceps
(standardized for 7% cordyceptic acid) per dose could increase
the fat-burning effects of exercise.
................
St. John’s Wort
................
A growing number of sports nutritionists believe one of the main
reasons for burnout or overtraining is depressed levels of specific neurotransmitters
in your brain, such as dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine,
and norepinephrine. Studies suggest St. John’s wort may
extend the active half-lives of some neurotransmitters. So your brain
can “amp up” the signals that tell your muscles to recover and grow.
By supporting the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, St.
John’s wort may decrease food cravings and help you avoid those
dreaded binges. Experts recommend using about 600 to 900 mg a
day of a quality extract (standardized for 0.3% hypericin).
.........
HMB
.........
HMB was a popular supplemet back in the early 1990's and was introduced to the bodybuilding market
by the now defuncted magazine Muscle Media. HMB has proven itself in the laboratory and in the real world of
bodybuilders and champion athletes. In fact, it’s one of the most thoroughly studied sports supplements today.
HMB is a patented amino acid metabolite discovered by research scientists at Iowa State University. Studies
show when intensely trained athletes supplement with HMB, they may gain significantly more mass and strength
than athletes using a placebo. Endurance athletes may also significantly boost their stamina.HMB appears to
up-regulate your ability to build muscle and burn fat by minimizing protein breakdown during intense exercise.
Researchers believe this may tip the balance of protein metabolism in favor of new muscle growth and
increased endurance. So, if you’re working out hard and cutting calories, supplementing your diet with three
grams of HMB per day could help.
.....................
Creatine Monohydrate
.....................
Creatine is perhaps the best supplement ever to hit the sports nutrition market. But,it’s not just for athletes
who are trying to bulk up. Creatine has other actions which may help support fat loss along with muscle growth.
For instance, a recent study shows creatine may significantly enhance the metabolic rate, 2 which helps your body
burn more calories. Creatine may also “superhydrate” or volumize your muscle cells to further stimulate protein
synthesis and decrease protein breakdown. Make no mistake, volumizing isn’t about water retention, which happens
outside the cell. Your muscles really are getting bigger, fuller, rounder—from the inside out. This could enhance
muscularity and create an improved environment for muscle growth. A volumized cell may also be more resistant to
breakdown. After a loading dose of five grams four times a day,a maintenance dose of five grams a day will
likely get the job done. Although, I personally take 40 grams a day without all that fancy laoding and maitenace
nonsence.
......................
Glutamine and Taurine
......................
If you weight train, chances are you need more L-glutamine than sedentary folks. Glutamine is the most abundant
free amino acid in muscle tissue. It plays a crucial role Meal-replacement powders (MRP’s) are a class of supplements
specifically designed to provide high-quality, low-fat nutrition. Some take it a step further to help provide metabolic
support. When considering an MRP that may support your fat-loss efforts, you may want to find one which includes phosphates, soy-protein
isolate, and xylitol. Optimally, the MRP you choose should also contain the amino acids glutamine and taurine,
which may provide cell-volumizing and anti-catabolic characteristics to help support muscle mass during calorie
restriction. These amino acids may go a long way towards helping preserve muscle mass.Although you can get a lot
of these nutrients in whole foods or by buying each supplement individually, combining these nutrients in the right
dose can be difficult.
..............................
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s)
..............................
We all know that saturated fats are bad news, but there are some vitally important
unsaturated fats your body absolutely must have for overall health and optimal athletic performance.
EFA’s are considered the “good fats.” Unfortunately, your body can’t produce them, and they’re processed
out of many foods. So it’s easy while on a low-calorie regimen to cut the “good” fats too low. An imbalance
in EFA intake can suppress vital growth hormones, weaken connective tissues, slow recuperation, and weaken
the immune system. EFA’s are necessary for numerous biochemical reactions in the body.And they’re critical
in the formation of prostaglandins,7 hormone-like substances that play a role in a number of functions, including
steroidhormone production. In particular, it’s a good idea to make sure you’re getting enough
omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, along with EPA, DHA, GLA, and CLA. Omega-3 and omega-6 are the main essential
fatty acids involved in hundreds of metabolic processes. The others, however, are more specialized
and may offer specific benefits in a fat-loss program.For instance, clinical research shows CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)
may help enhance fat metabolism while supporting muscle in numerous animals.26 More research is underway
in humans to help discover the mechanism of CLA’s effects. Although a fatty acid supplement is a convenient
way to get your EFA’s, especially during a dieting phase, you can find these valuable fats in whole foods as well.
Omega-3, DHA, and EPA, for instance, can be found in high concentrations in many cold-water fish such as salmon.
Omega-6 is the most common unsaturated fatty acid and is found in all vegetable-based oils. CLA is a bit hard to come by,
but it can be found in small quantities in cheese, whole milk, and cooked ground beef. If you decide to try one of
the many supplements that contains a variety of essential fatty acids, look on the label to make sure it contains both
omega-3 (such as fish oils) and omega-6 (such as flaxseed oil) fatty acids, as well as DHA and EPA. CLA may, of course,
be an added benefit. in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism, which means it could help prevent
muscle breakdown. Under periods of stress—like intense workouts—glutamine may become conditionally essential.15 That
means your body may not be able to make enough. Fortunately, studies show that supplementing with L-glutamine is an
effective way to replace these declining levels. What’s more, one study shows that as little as 2 grams of free-form
L-glutamine may boost your levels of growth hormone by as much as 400%!33 Taurine is another important amino acid
that can act as a strong anti-catabolic agent. Somewhat like creatine and glutamine, it seems to have potential
cell-volumizing

Health & Wealth.
Dear Reader,
Here is an excerpt from a newsletter published back in 1992 by successful entrepreneur, Stewart Kime.
This unique individual made his fortune through mail-order and Multi level marketing. although I know those of you reading and subscribing to my e-newsletter workout and train frequently, It's worth reading.
"Dear wealth seeker:
Let's imagine for a moment that I offer to give you a new Mercedes-Benz automobile. The only requirement will be a signed agreement that this will be the only car you can own for the rest of your life. Just imagine the excitement of a beautiful new Mercedes-Benz parked in your driveway and you will never have to make even one payment! The car is yours to keep as long as you live.Actually, this would be a
great deal for anyone willing to read the owners manual and properly care for the vehicle. Your new car can last as long as you live. It can even look and run like
new if you will just take care of it.
If you accept this offer, I am sure you would spend time carefully studying the owner's manual. The oil would be changed regularly and every maintenance procedure would be meticulously followed. Every night the car would be kept in your garage to protect it from the elements. Yes, with care your automobile would easily last a lifetime.
Most of us are given a perfect new body at birth that is designed to last at least one hundred years. We must keep our body for as long as we live but unfortunately many of us fail to read the owner’s manual. Many of my friends are dead because they were far more interested in learning how to make money than caring for their health. Most people assume they will remain healthy with little care or interest in healthful living. If you plan to be wealthy and successful, you will make your health as important as obtaining wealth. Financial success without health is foolishness.
Thomas Edison said, "The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Start a new life today by caring for your body as you would care for a new Mercedes-Benz automobile. Good health will give you the energy and ability to make far more money and when you have made your fortune you'll have a great time enjoying it."
God bless you all my loyal subscribers.

The Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan Part 7
A Crash course on Fat Burners.
Hi,
Part of this Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan is to use supplemental support.
Supplements do work despite what many so called experts say about them. Many do not believe in
supplemental support and others do. I am one who does therefore I am going to give you
what I think are some of the best fat burning supplements to use towards your goal
of lowering your fat levels. For some that may be 10% and for others it may mean losing
about 20 pounds or even for the competitive athlete in bodybuilding who is looking for
4% body fat levels.
If you want to lose weight, it’s simply a matter of burning
more calories than you consume. Most of us have heard
that statement many times. And, taken word for word, it’s absolutely true.
If you take in less calories than you expend, you’ll burn stored energy
for fuel. So you’ll lose weight, and all will be well, right?
While this rationale is sound and simple, it’s straight out of the “old
school. I’m not saying it’s wrong—but it’s definitely outdated, incomplete,
and vague.
First of all, the term “lose weight” is not specific enough for what most
of us want to achieve. Many of us actually don’t want to lose weight at
all. We want to lose FAT. And we want to lose that fat while maintaining
or even gaining lean muscle mass.
Second, calories in vs. calories out is no longer the accepted formula
for successful fat loss. Scientists have discovered not only are total calories
important but meal timing and what we eat are key factors too. So
are the type and timing of exercise. And further scientific evidence shows
supplementation may help. But, trying to decide what supplements are
right for you can get very confusing—bordering on mind-boggling. In
order to help clear up the confusion, this newsletter offers a crash course in
which supplements might help you lose fat faster without sacrificing hardearned
muscle!
.............
Phosphates
.............
Phosphates are in many foods. However,a recent study revealed that a specialized
blend of phosphates in a specific daily dose (1,200 mg of calcium phosphate, 600 mg of
potassium phosphate, and 300 mg of sodium phosphate) may not only support
the metabolism, it may actually increase resting metabolic rate. In this study, phosphate-
supplemented subjects burned significantly more calories even while resting.
Scientists believe phosphate may also help neutralize the production of lactic acid,
which is responsible for the burning sensation you feel when you’re working out
intensely. The idea is if you can postpone that “big burn,” you may be able to postpone
that “big crash” and get more reps in. What’s more, other studies suggest phosphates
may increase the ability of blood to move oxygen to working muscles, which
would again enhance endurance as well as improve production and use of glycogen to
help support the metabolism during low calorie diets.
....................
Soy-Protein Isolate
....................
Often, when you lower calorie intake,your body fights back by reducing your
metabolic rate. One reason this happens is your thyroid hormone (which helps regulate
how many calories you burn) production goes down, and your fat loss can come to
a screeching halt. Soy-protein isolate may be useful in this situation because studies
have shown it may help minimize thyroid suppression. Supplementing with between
25 and 50 grams of soy-protein isolate a day during a fat-loss program may be quite beneficial.
........
Xylitol
........
Xylitol is a low-glycemic carbohydrate,which means it does not cause your bloodsugar
levels to rise like most carbohydrates,thus helping to ensure an even energy
supply and stable blood-sugar levels.This unique carbohydrate has been shown in scientific
studies to help the body burn fat for fuel over and above even blood sugar.
..........
Caffeine
..........
In scientific studies, caffeine has been shown to help liberate fatty acids from
bodyfat stores, thus possibly increasing your body’s ability to burn fat.31 It may also
increase strength and “focus” during a workout and is often used for this purpose.
Effective doses range between 100 and 200 mg, 2 to 3 times per day.
............
Synephrine
............
Synephrine, also known as Citrus aurantium, is a “calmer” chemicalcousin to ephedrine.
This supplement may offer many of the metabolic-enhancing effects of ephedrine without
the side effects (such as the jitters). About 15 to 20 mg, in combination with caffeine
and tyrosine, may be helpful.
............
L-Tyrosine
............
Tyrosine is vital in supporting the formation of neurotransmitters (“messengers” that
carry signals between brain cells). As much as 90% of your brain’s neurotransmitters are
synthesized directly from tyrosine. That’s important to you because neurotransmitters carry
the messages that tell your muscles to flex and contract. The stronger the signal, the
stronger your performance. Another big plus: tyrosine may promote alertness without
unwanted central-nervous-system side effects, unlike ephedrine.Research supporting U.S.
Patent #5,096,712 shows the addition of about a half gram of tyrosine to any type of
central-nervous-system stimulant (including caffeine and synephrine) may enhance the
effects of that compound.
......................
Yohimbe Bark Extract
......................
Yohimbe is an herbal extract from the bark of an African tree. It has gained a reputation
for its ability to support male sexual function because of its vasodilating properties.
Studies suggest yohimbine, the active compound in yohimbe, may increase blood flow to
erectile tissue, thereby supporting male sexual function. Studies also suggest yohimbe
(standardized for yohimbine, to supply three to eight milligrams per dose) may decrease
fat synthesis and increase fatty-acid mobilization from fat stores in women.4,20 What’s
more, yohimbe appears to support arterial health by decreasing platelet aggregation in
the bloodstream. The bottom line: this versatile herb may offer powerful health benefits
for both men and women.
We will continue on The Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan Part Eight.
Well, that is it for now.

for fuel. So you’ll lose weight, and all will be well, right?
While this rationale is sound and simple, it’s straight out of the “old
school. I’m not saying it’s wrong—but it’s definitely outdated, incomplete,
and vague.
First of all, the term “lose weight” is not specific enough for what most
of us want to achieve. Many of us actually don’t want to lose weight at
all. We want to lose FAT. And we want to lose that fat while maintaining
or even gaining lean muscle mass.
Second, calories in vs. calories out is no longer the accepted formula
for successful fat loss. Scientists have discovered not only are total calories
important but meal timing and what we eat are key factors too. So
are the type and timing of exercise. And further scientific evidence shows
supplementation may help. But, trying to decide what supplements are
right for you can get very confusing—bordering on mind-boggling. In
order to help clear up the confusion, this newsletter offers a crash course in
which supplements might help you lose fat faster without sacrificing hardearned
muscle!
.............
Phosphates
.............
Phosphates are in many foods. However,a recent study revealed that a specialized
blend of phosphates in a specific daily dose (1,200 mg of calcium phosphate, 600 mg of
potassium phosphate, and 300 mg of sodium phosphate) may not only support
the metabolism, it may actually increase resting metabolic rate. In this study, phosphate-
supplemented subjects burned significantly more calories even while resting.
Scientists believe phosphate may also help neutralize the production of lactic acid,
which is responsible for the burning sensation you feel when you’re working out
intensely. The idea is if you can postpone that “big burn,” you may be able to postpone
that “big crash” and get more reps in. What’s more, other studies suggest phosphates
may increase the ability of blood to move oxygen to working muscles, which
would again enhance endurance as well as improve production and use of glycogen to
help support the metabolism during low calorie diets.
....................
Soy-Protein Isolate
....................
Often, when you lower calorie intake,your body fights back by reducing your
metabolic rate. One reason this happens is your thyroid hormone (which helps regulate
how many calories you burn) production goes down, and your fat loss can come to
a screeching halt. Soy-protein isolate may be useful in this situation because studies
have shown it may help minimize thyroid suppression. Supplementing with between
25 and 50 grams of soy-protein isolate a day during a fat-loss program may be quite beneficial.
........
Xylitol
........
Xylitol is a low-glycemic carbohydrate,which means it does not cause your bloodsugar
levels to rise like most carbohydrates,thus helping to ensure an even energy
supply and stable blood-sugar levels.This unique carbohydrate has been shown in scientific
studies to help the body burn fat for fuel over and above even blood sugar.
..........
Caffeine
..........
In scientific studies, caffeine has been shown to help liberate fatty acids from
bodyfat stores, thus possibly increasing your body’s ability to burn fat.31 It may also
increase strength and “focus” during a workout and is often used for this purpose.
Effective doses range between 100 and 200 mg, 2 to 3 times per day.
............
Synephrine
............
Synephrine, also known as Citrus aurantium, is a “calmer” chemicalcousin to ephedrine.
This supplement may offer many of the metabolic-enhancing effects of ephedrine without
the side effects (such as the jitters). About 15 to 20 mg, in combination with caffeine
and tyrosine, may be helpful.
............
L-Tyrosine
............
Tyrosine is vital in supporting the formation of neurotransmitters (“messengers” that
carry signals between brain cells). As much as 90% of your brain’s neurotransmitters are
synthesized directly from tyrosine. That’s important to you because neurotransmitters carry
the messages that tell your muscles to flex and contract. The stronger the signal, the
stronger your performance. Another big plus: tyrosine may promote alertness without
unwanted central-nervous-system side effects, unlike ephedrine.Research supporting U.S.
Patent #5,096,712 shows the addition of about a half gram of tyrosine to any type of
central-nervous-system stimulant (including caffeine and synephrine) may enhance the
effects of that compound.
......................
Yohimbe Bark Extract
......................
Yohimbe is an herbal extract from the bark of an African tree. It has gained a reputation
for its ability to support male sexual function because of its vasodilating properties.
Studies suggest yohimbine, the active compound in yohimbe, may increase blood flow to
erectile tissue, thereby supporting male sexual function. Studies also suggest yohimbe
(standardized for yohimbine, to supply three to eight milligrams per dose) may decrease
fat synthesis and increase fatty-acid mobilization from fat stores in women.4,20 What’s
more, yohimbe appears to support arterial health by decreasing platelet aggregation in
the bloodstream. The bottom line: this versatile herb may offer powerful health benefits
for both men and women.
We will continue on The Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan Part Eight.
Well, that is it for now.

The Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan Part 6
Hi,
So far in this Ultimate Fitness plan newsletter outline we have discussed many of the things
I feel you should be doing to begin achieving your goal of getting into tip top shape. This
course also helps the competitive bodybuilder, both amateur and professional alike, to preserve
overall health and training longevity.
To recap, let us review what we must do to get into great shape and prolong great health
and optimum sports performance.
1) See a natural health-care provider on a regular basis.
2) Get a Chiropractic adjustment on a monthly basis.
3) See an Herbalist.
4) Check you body PH levels.
5) Clean out the toxins in your body.
6) Get a Colonic cleanse.
7) Do a complete colon cleanse.
8) Do a liver and gallbladder cleanse.
9) Do a heavy metal cleanse or chalation.
10) Get a monthly Swedish massage.
11) Stretch the muscles and tendons of the body.
12) Practice deep breathing.
Some of these points have not been discussed in full in the previous
newsletters, but I feel that they should be mentioned. Please keep in
mind that you do not have to do everything outlined in the 12 points
presented here but you should do them all at some point in your or
during your training and exercises regimen.
If the hardcore bodybuilding community takes hold of the advise presented
here, many will benefit greatly in prolonging health and sports longevity.
As for those embarking on a regular training program of getting into shape
and reducing fat levels, (getting ripped), or preparing for their first
or one hundredth contest; or for those in a physique transformation
program, it would be very wise to adhere to the twelve points presented
above. Believe me, only a healthy body can build muscle and retard the
aging process. In our next e-newsletter we will get into the meat and potatoes
of the diet plan and then the training plan.
Well, that is it for now.
Keep Hanging and Banging.

The Ultimate Fitness and Fat Burning Plan Part 5
Hi,
The next topic I would like to discuss in the in this series of training newsletters
is the topic of Chiropractic care and Swedish (deep tissue) massage.
.............................
Get a Chiropractic Adjustment
.............................
Every chiropractor uses slightly different techniques. If you have never gotten a chiropractic
adjustment, you need one especially if you weight train. Because of the bodybuilding
lifestyle or lifestyles in general, our spines get misaligned. Realigning the spine allows
energy to flow throughout the entire body. I personally see a chiropractor every two weeks.
Even if you have no back pain, go to a chiropractor and get an adjustment. The adjustments
are painless and you will feel absolutely energized after an adjustment.
..............................
Swedish (deep tissue) massage
..............................
Deep tissue massage will help you recuperate from your training at a rather fast
rate. Deep-tissue massage releases and stretches the fasciae (connective tissues
between the muscles and the bone) and dramatically improves posture, balance, and
integrates your entire body. Deep-tissues massage will also help you in gaining
muscle tone fast.
Remember to go to http://www.muscle4mass.com/MuscleCondBook.htm for your Ultimate fitness
plan.
Well, that is it for now.
