In 2006, I sent out a nationwide media release insisting that Oprah’s fat-loss methods - which included walking as her primary exercise - were actually making her fat. Even worse, they were making the millions of Americans following her lead fat too.
Fact is, if you want lean, sexy muscle (at any age), walking is not sufficient exercise.
Sure, walking is better than no exercise at all. But it’s not going to help you burn the fat you need to burn in order to feel great and get noticed. Nobody ever walked themselves out of the Fat Cow Hall of Fame. I didn’t… and neither has Oprah.
When it comes to exercise, the old adage holds true: "No pain, no gain." Why? Because you need to force the body to produce a family of fat-burning, beer-belly-melting compounds known as catecholamines. When released, these weapons of fat destruction bind metabolic receptors on the outer membrane of fat cells, causing them to be eradicated via thermogenesis and lypolysis. (That’s just a fancy way to say that the fat cells are being demolished.)
Getting rid of fat with exercise happens only when you attain 60 to 80 percent of your max heart rate. If you’ve forgotten how to do the calculation, here it is: 220 minus your age times .60 equals your maximum target heart rate.
Let me know what your exercise routine is or isn’t. What’s your favorite part about it, least favorite? Lemme know you’re alive!

Coca-cola is over 120 years old. Only seven people in the history of the world have known the Coke formula. No matter how large, corporations are great at keeping secrets. Drug giant Eli Lilly is no exception. While working as an organic chemist, I was appalled to learn how they methodically kept natural remedies from the watchful eye of the media, especially when it involved effective cancer fighters like Madagascar periwinkle.
According to folklore, periwinkle is an effective anti-diabetic shrub. Looking closely into the unique medicinal properties, Eli Lilly used state of the art characterization techniques to identify about 70 different active ingredients known as alkaloids. Their studies unfolded an unexpected, yet shocking finding: It was also effective in treating leukemia and a wide variety of other cancers. Remission rates were found to be as high as 50% in short term studies. But long term studies ceased and were replaced with attempts at making more profitable, synthetic copy cats.
To date, only two of the 70 identified, anti-cancer compounds found in Periwinkle have been replicated. Unfortunately, they don’t carry the highly sought after remission rates as their inexpensive, nutritive parents do.
The final story on Madagascar periwinkle according to Big Pharma is that it’s poisonous. But In Madagascar, its extracts have been used for hundreds of years as medicine. If Eli Lilly is half as good as Coke at keeping secrets, this potential, natural cancer cure will probably forever remain under the pharmaceutical drug rug, along with all the other less profitable, natural cures.

It’s finally here: the wonder cure that sick American’s have been waiting for. It’s called Acai. Whether you are a member of The Fat Cow Hall of Fame, being ravished by high blood sugar, or being overcome with cancer, Acai berry is your key to optimal health and longevity. If you believe this, then the Oprah, and Dr. Oz marketing noose, which strangles health and wealth, is already around your neck.
Acai products are loaded with sugar - natural or otherwise. Remember your Mom telling you to avoid sugar? Most people don’t. The average American chokes down a whopping 160 pounds per year. A healthy human body can’t take more than 10 or 15lbs annually. (Find out how much you are consuming at http://alturl.com/o8pb.) Acai drink products contribute to the overdose.
Acai products are marketed as super antioxidants. Cinnamon is light years ahead. But you can get that for pennies on the acai dollar at your local grocery store, which is why head-hunting marketers aren’t telling you about it.
Acai products do contain a negligible amount of a natural product known as anthocyanidins. These can be a huge asset to your cardiovascular system. But you can obtain quadruple the amount - for pennies on the acai dollar and without the cardiovascular poison sugar - from a hearty organic salad or an over-the-counter, nutritional supplement known as bilberry.
Still, neither cinnamon nor bilberries are wonder cures. Nothing can overcome America’s addiction to bad habits, especially wanton sugar consumption. The recent popularity in sugary sweet acai and declining health proves this. Want a real wonder cure? Remove the marketing noose and abandon sugar.

At 65 years old, most of your friends will be sitting idle in an old-folks home, counting the weeks by the number of times they play bingo – and measuring their health (or lack of) by the handful of pills they swallow. But not you. If you learn how to boost one single enzyme in your body, you can defy aging the easy way. You’ll be traveling the world, parachuting for the first time, dancing the night away with your wife, or perhaps starting a new, highly profitable business. That enzyme is known as telomerase.
Telomerase acts as a shield for your genetic blue print – DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It protects it from getting shorter and older. The more you have, the healthier and stronger you are.
One of the best ways to preserve or enhance telomerase production - and functional lifespan - is to limit food consumption to only three meals per day. This helps to optimize our "hormonal intelligence" which in turn preserves the enzymes that shield DNA from being shortened and speeding up your expiration date. Few people are leveraging this age defying secret because they are always shoving something into their mouth. You can stop this age accelerating action with one simple eating habit.
The trick to minimizing meals and cravings is to eat those foods that are most satisfying, while at the same time, have a minor effect on the output of our fat storing hormone known as insulin. One of the most effective foods is whey isolate.
Its beneficial role on controlling hunger and the subsequent anti-cancer properties reflects this. Researcher writing for Advanced in Food and Nutrition Science write that, “Cell culture studies have demonstrated that whey protein or whey protein components selectively inhibit cancer cell growth. Whey protein, cultured with the oestrogen-responsive human breast cancer cell line and a prostate cancer cell line, significantly reduces cell growth." Other “real-natural” foods that help slow the aging process are avocados, grass fed beef, coconut oil, seeds, nuts and eggs.

Fat always gets a bad rap. Forgetting chemistry 101, cardiologists insist that all fats are bad. With sweeping generalizations, they tell us to avoid red meat due to its fat content. They fail to distinguish between the fat promoting and heart disease inducing trans-fats and the essential, saturated fats in meat.
Forgetting biochemistry, doctors fail to remember that every single cell in the human body is dependent on saturated fat; making up the cell membrane and even the lump in our skull known as the brain.
Forgetting nutrition, they also fail to remember that most vitamins require healthy, saturated fat to be absorbed by the body.
And forgetting physiology, they fail to remember that meat contains the muscle building compound known as creatine. Take home lesson: Doctors are forgetful and grass fed beef should be a major part of your diet. Abstain from trans-fat like your life depends on it.
Nobody is immune to stupid diet myths. And they are here to say, with new ones popping up every day. This is a stark reminder that marketing hype always supersedes diet logic. Let your waistline be your guide. If your fat loss efforts aren’t working, try something new. The beach awaits!

Don’t ever diet. If you let yourself get hungry, your body will go into fat storage mode. Starvation tricks the body into thinking there’s not enough food in the world. Therefore, once you do eat something, it gets stored as unsightly belly fat. Jeans get tight. And everyone knows that carrying more junk in the trunk isn’t right. To prevent the "oh no, please don’t wear a thong" effect, never restrict calories to the point that you become wildly hungry.
This isn’t a ticket to eat whatever, whenever. Anyone who has ever eaten too many burgers understands that caloric overload does in fact fatten you up. The key here is customization. Eat your required amount of calories based on your lifestyle and goals in the form of healthy fat, protein and slow-absorbing carbohydrates - three times per day - nothing more. You can’t cheat calories, no matter how healthy your food or how blessed your metabolism.
