Two Fat Loss Nutrition Myths

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

 

Ready to crush some nutrition myths?

I get extreme nutrition questions all the time. In fact, just yesterday I was asked about whether it was bad to eat carbohydrates and protein at the same time. I can’t stand that type of obsessive- compulsive thinking. There’s no reason to be worried about that kind of tiny detail.
So here are two nutrition myths I crushed while down in California hanging out with friends and celebrating my buddy Bedros Keuilian’s birthday down over the weekend. (By the way, by ignoring these myths, I ate amazing meals and still didn’t gain any fat!)

Myth #1) You can’t eat late at night

I blew that one out of the water on the first night I arrived. My flight from Toronto to Orange County was at 6pm Thursday. I ate before I went to the airport, and then aside from a few almonds on the plane, I didn’t eat until I arrived at 8pm California time.

So that’s 5 hours past my normal dinner time.

But “nutrition experts” are going to tell me I can’t eat now?

They are going to send me to bed without any supper?

Who do they think they are, some kind of evil villain from a Mother Goose nursery rhyme?

Some type of wicked step-mother nutrition witch, or something?

Well, I’ll have my dinner whenever I want, thank you very much. And if that means eating at 9pm, then that’s when I’ll eat.

The bottom line: It’s not WHEN you eat, it’s HOW MUCH you eat.

By the way, just to horrify these so-called nutrition experts even more, I even ordered a pizza when I ate at 9pm last Thursday. Then again, I ate dinner with Mr. Cheat Diet, Joel Marion…

Myth #2) You must use protein shakes if you want to lose fat/gain muscle

Survey says, “Wrong!”

There has never been a scientific study showing that you’ll build muscle or burn fat better if you eat more than 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight.

That translates to LESS than one gram of protein per pound of body weight.

So yes, it’s fine to round up to one gram per pound, BUT that ONLY works if you are relatively lean.

If you are more than 20% fat, you do NOT need anywhere near one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.

Let’s say you’re a 175 pound guy or a 145 pound woman with 20% fat.

At most, you’ll need one gram per pound of LEAN body mass (that’s your total weight minus your fat weight).

So our man would need 140 grams of protein and our female would need 115 grams of protein per day.

That is SO EASY to get through REAL FOOD that you don’t need to suck down the “swill” that nutrition stores sell you (aka – protein powder).

Just check out how much protein you get from REAL food:

* One cup of any dairy product = 8-10 grams of protein

* One ounce of meat = 7-10 grams of protein

* One ounce of fish = 6 grams of protein

* One egg = 7 grams of protein

* One cup of kidney beans or black beans = 15 grams of protein

* One tbspn peanut butter = 4 grams of protein

* One slice of bread = 5 grams of protein (!)

So you see, you don’t need bad-tasting powders when you can eat real, delicious foods for all your protein needs.

Instead, keep your nutrition SIMPLE. Focus on whole, natural foods and limit high-calorie, high-sugar foods to just a couple of treats per week. Combine that with your favorite Turbulence Training workouts and you’ll lose fat fast.

Today, we’re going to focus on something that I know a lot of men and women are struggling with – MOTIVATION.   So here are my top 11 inspirational tips to help motivate you to stick to your fat loss plan and transform your body & life forever.

11. Never Give Up

If you fall off the wagon, cut your losses. Don’t let it weigh on your mind and hold you back because it’s only minor damage that can be dealt with. The important thing is to get back on track, immediately. Never, ever, EVER give up. I believe in you.

10. Don’t Procrastinate

Do it now. Whether you’re thinking of cleaning out the pantry or finally starting to exercise, STOP procrastinating and DO IT now!

9. Identify Exactly What It Is You Want…

…then don’t let anything stand in your way of getting it. By setting specific goals along with deadlines you are providing yourself with a measuring stick.

8. Do Your Best With Everything You Have Control Over

Most people fail to control themselves, and end up only with regrets. We trade minutes of pleasure (i.e. fast food) for days, weeks, months, and years of regret.

Remember that the pleasure of eating lasts for only minutes, but you inhabit your body 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for life.

Rather than trying to “out-cardio” your bad diet, you must PLAN ahead to overcome obstacles. Otherwise, you’ll never succeed.

7. Replace Bad Habits

Everyday you will be tempted to fall back on old bad habits. To make a lasting change in your health and appearance you must do everything you can to resist that. Try adding a new healthy habit each day to replace an old unhealthy habit.

6. Be Consistent With Baby Steps

The best approach is to build your life one positive step at a time and the way to do this is by taking baby steps to improvement each and every single day. Be a little better than yesterday.

5. Test

There are no failures, only good and bad tests.

You should always be trying something new, monitoring your body’s response, and deciding whether or not that food or exercise belongs in your “tool box”. Do everything you can to learn more about your body. The more you know, the faster your success will be.

4. Social Support & Role Modeling

You can’t soar with eagles if you’re hanging around turkeys.

By hanging around others who want to lose weight, you can leverage their knowledge, commitment, support, and success to push yourself harder than you otherwise would be able to.

3. Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

People will do almost anything to stay in their comfort zones.

If you want to accomplish anything, get out of your comfort zone and strive to increase order and discipline in your life.

Discipline means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing.

Setting goals and deadlines are the easy roads to discipline.

2. Plan

Planning is the ultimate key to fat loss success.

With a weekly plan of meals and workouts in place, you will be much less likely to hit a road bump that takes you down the wrong path.

Try setting aside one day a week to map out your weekly itinerary and you’ll be amazed at how quickly your body transforms itself.

1. Realize YOU Are In Charge of Your Success

Og Mandino once said, “I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsibility. Win or lose; only I hold the key to my destiny.”

Translation – Everyone can succeed and reach their goals. It’s a just a matter of how badly you want it.

I know you want it. And I know you can do it. And I’m really looking forward to your success.

Press Release – Presidents Team Recomends Home Filtration Systems

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Las Vegas, NV
10 A.M., May 18, 2010

 

To protect against cancer, President Obama’s team recommends home water filtration 

In its official annual report, the panel also recommends storing and transporting drinking water in non‐plastic containers such as stainless steel bottles.

“This is one of the easiest, and most inexpensive measures a family can take to protect against carcinogens” said Alvin E. Rice, President of Multi‐Pure International. “Water is the very essence of all life, clean water just makes good sense.” 

The President’s Cancer Panel is a three‐person body made up of distinguished scientists or physicians. It reports to President Obama on the development and execution of the National Cancer Program. 

The panel’s report, titled “Reducing Environmental Cancer Risks: What We Can Do Now” states, “Filtering home tap or well water can decrease exposure to numerous known or suspected carcinogens and endocrine‐disrupting chemicals.” The report goes on to highlight the added importance of protecting children. “To the extent possible, parents and child care providers should choose house products that will minimize children’s exposure to toxic substances.” 

In addition, the panel also suggests that contaminants can leach into water from plastic water bottles, and that the use of stainless steel or glass bottles can help reduce exposure to endocrine‐disrupting and other chemicals. 

Multi‐Pure International is one of the industry’s most respected manufacturers of water filtration systems and
components. In business since 1970, Multi‐Pure products feature the broadest NSF certified contaminant
reduction claims (NSF Std. 53). Its product selection includes stainless‐steel drinking water bottles. Multi‐Pure
International is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Bacteria In Bottled Water?

Nestle Waters’ John B. Challinor II responds to bacteria in bottled water study

GUELPH, ONTARIO, May 28, 2010 (Water Tech) — In a column posted on nationalpost.com, John B. Challinor II, director of corporate affairs for Nestle Waters Canada, responded to a recent study that showed that bottled water contains more nonpathogenic heterotropic (HPC) bacteria than tap water.

Challinor quoted Health Canada as stating, “Like most foods, bottled water may contain naturally occurring bacteria which typically have little or no health significance. In numerous studies, heterotropic bacteria isolated from water have been shown to be of no human health consequence.”

He also referenced a 2003 World Health Organization study found that these bacteria pose “no significant risk to consumers.”

Challinor concluded by saying, “HPC bacteria can sometimes be found in trace amounts in bottled water and municipal water systems, even after disinfection.”

And you thought bottled water was more safe than your tap water? If you want the best water without the question of “is it good?” then please go to Clear Cool Water and get a system that will save you a lot of money and give you the pure water you deserve.

Why Am I Writing About Fibroids?

You must wonder why a man would be writing about fibroids when it is a women’s problem, but is it only a women’s problem?

I submit to you that any problem my wife has affects me also. What happened back in the late 60′s made this my problem when my wife started having problems that the doctors said was an infection and over a period of 3 years was hospitalised several times and never had any help.

Finally she went to a specialist in Boise that diagnosed her with a tumor and they  found a large fibroid tumor and did a hysterectomy. Thankfully it was benign and she recovered well with no more trouble.

So we had spent a lot of money on misdiagnosis and she went through a lot of pain and suffering over that period of time. Did that affect me? you better believe it did and at that time we were broke because of debts from a failed farming business that had put us in deep debt.

So now you know the reason this means something to me, a man. If you can keep from having surgery over these things you will be much better off so as I find more about alternative treat for fibroids I will write about it for you.
