A type of trans fat that flattens your belly?

A type of trans fat that flattens your belly?

We all know that trans fats are horrible for your health right?  But what if I told you that there is a specific type of trans fat that's natural (not man-made) and actually helps you to lose fat faster and build lean muscle?

Well, check out the excerpt from Mike Geary's very interesting nutrition program called "The Fat Burning Kitchen"  below:


"...Not many people know this fact, but a natural fat found in ruminant animals called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is actually a natural form of trans fat. However, CLA is FAR different than the artificial trans fats from hydrogenated oils that are so deadly and that you hear all of the negative information about. CLA is actually one of the only healthy trans fats in existence and has a different chemical structure than artificial trans fats.

CLA is a natural form of healthy trans fat that occurs in the fat on the meat, and in the dairy from ruminant animals such as cattle, bison, deer, goats, sheep, kangaroo, etc.  CLA in natural form has been shown to help in burning off abdominal fat and also maintaining or even building lean muscle, as well as cancer prevention. Great stuff huh! Keep in mind that CLA diminishes in meat and dairy when the animals were fed grain.

Warning: Although the data in studies is conflicting, I generally do not recommend CLA supplements as they contain an artificially created form of CLA that is a different CLA isomer compared to the natural CLA isomer that's found in meats and dairy from ruminant animals.  The CLA isomer found in CLA supplements is thought by some researchers to possibly have negative effects in the body and is more similar in chemical structure to an artificial trans fat.  This is however, controversial and not a lot of studies have been done. But from a common sense standpoint, the natural form of CLA from grass-fed meats should be more beneficial to your health than the artificial form of CLA.  The only form of CLA that I personally believe is going to benefit your health and help to reduce body fat is the natural CLA isomers from grass-fed beef, bison, venison, etc or from grass-fed raw milk or cheeses.

Also, grass-fed meats and dairy contain 3-5x the CLA content of grain fed meats, so avoid your typical grain-fed grocery store meats and choose grass-fed!   

So that is the reason why I focused more on red meats such as grass-fed beef and bison during this 23-day cutting cycle instead of chicken, turkey, or fish -- because the extra CLA can really help in accelerating fat loss and preserving lean muscle..." 


There you have it... there actually IS such a thing as a healthy trans fat... bet you didn't know that!

This was an excerpt from Mike Geary's super-popular nutrition program co-authored with an extremely knowledgeable nutrition expert named Catherine Ebeling.

The program is called "The Fat Burning Kitchen", and it's a must read if you want to know exactly what to eat to be lean and healthy for life, and which foods are sabotaging your efforts.

Because this is Mike's 36th birthday, he decided to have a big HALF price sale for 2 more days. The price will double in a few days at the end of the week.

Also, Mike really wanted to really knock your socks off with this program, so if you grab a copy this week, he even decided to throw in a special bonus section that gives you every single nitty gritty detail of how he went from 10.2% bodyfat down to 6.9% bodyfat in only 23 days while he prepped for a photo shoot.

This is advanced stuff for when you might have an event such as a wedding or a beach vacation coming up and you need to knock off some significant bodyfat in only 3-4 weeks time frame.  There's nothing unhealthy here... but these techniques are definitely "amped up" from the norm.

When I say nitty gritty details... I'm talking everything, including specific spices, teas, nutrients, exactly what he ate, carb/protein/fat ratios and how he manipulated timing of nutrients to accelerate fat loss.

According to the body comp tests, Mike went from 10.2% BF to 6.9% BF in only 23 days. 

You'll find out all of those details of how you can lose 3-4% BF or more in 23 days in the bonus chapter if you grab a copy this week.

The Best Foods To Gain Weight! Learn How To Easily Beef Up Simply By Changing Your Diet

The Best Foods To Gain Weight! Learn How To Easily Beef Up Simply By Changing Your Diet

There’s plenty of information out there about how to lose weight. Shelves in bookshops heave with volumes and volumes on the subject and magazines dedicate thousands of column inches to the issue every single week. But if you’re someone who wants to GAIN weight, you soon realize that there’s a lot less information and advice out there for you to read and use.

Today I’m going to tell you a little bit about how you can gain weight safely and consistently without getting fat and without negatively affecting your health. By following the tips and advice that follow, you’ll be able to beef up as much as you like. The only limit is your own preference. So let’s get started.

The only real way to gain weight is to increase the number of calories you consume on a daily and weekly basis. However, there are a few special rules to doing this that you should follow if you can. Let’s get the main calorie concept out of the way first.

A pound of weight consists of around 3500 calories. To lose a pound a week, you’d need to eat 500 fewer calories a day (7 x 500 = 3500) than usual. To gain a pound, which is what you’re looking to do, you need to eat 500 MORE a day. So that’s the first thing you need to do. Over the course of one week, eat as you usually do and take note of how many calories you consume in a day on average. After the week is over, total the day’s up, then add 3500 to that number. Divide that number by 7 and you’re left with your new per-day calorie intake goal.

Here are a few quick tips to help you eat more calories in the best possible way:

- Eat little snacks throughout the day, in-between your three main meals

- Pick foods with higher calorific contents whenever you can

- Increase the size of your portions whenever possible

An important point you MUST bear in mind here, is that some foods are much better than others when it comes to which ones you choose to eat to increase your calorie intake. Try to adhere to the following rules:

- Include a lot of unrefined/unprocessed carbohydrates in your weekly diet, things like whole grains and fruits, plenty of vegetables and lean foods that are high in protein such as products made of skim milk, eggs, and low-fat cuts of red meat like beef and pork.

- Try to avoid eating lots of saturated fats. It might seem like a good idea to pack on some weight, but it’s not when you think about it. All fats contain the same number of calories (45 in 1 teaspoon). Eating saturated fats more than any other kind will only raise your cholesterol, so stick to healthy fats like Omegas 3, 6 and 9.

So, which specific foods can you eat to up your calorie intake without consuming too much bad fat? Here are some ideas:

- Add powdered milk and/or margarine to mashed potatoes

- Add fruit, seeds and nuts to your cereal in the morning. Muesli and porridge are especially good morning meals.

- Feel free to eat dessert, but try to find desserts that contain low-fat milk and healthy oils.

-  Snack regularly on things like crackers and cheese, yogurts, soup with croutons and added skim milk, and milkshakes containing frozen yogurt or low-fat ice cream.

- Drink plenty of water to keep yourself energized and hydrated.

Overall, remember that your goal is this: to eat more calories per week by consuming foods that are high in protein but low in saturated fats. Eat big to get big!

Doing too much aerobic exercise will hinder your weight gain, but exercise is still highly recommended. You want to keep your muscles lean and fit, so lift weights whenever you can. Stick to performing low reps with a lot of weight to bulk up without getting too ‘cut’.

Lastly, sleep as soundly and for as long as you can every night. 8 hours minimum if you can manage it. It helps your body process the things you’re eating and keeps you feeling awake and vitalized during the day.

If, after a few weeks, you see your weight gain stop or severely slow down, up your calorie intake further – but still keep your diet healthy. Add 250 more calories to your daily intake and go from there to kick-start your weight gain again. Simple!
