Criticize Oprah and get slammed with Stupidity…
Posted by: | CommentsI can not believe the incredible stupidity in the e-mails I received concerning yesterday’s blog post.
People, you are totally off message here. I received e-mails about everything from what a great humanitarian to how cruel I was for saying that Oprah takes money for appearances on her show.
For all of you that didn’t get it the first time. It was about how when she speaks …the diet scam people go into overdrive. Her audience clings on every word she speaks. So when she says that Acai berry is the new Super food even though it’s been around for at least a million years…give or take. The scam artists are out there pedaling “Acai Berry Diet Cleanses” that will take hundreds of pounds off of you without doing anything else.
It’s just not true.
The “Acai Berry Diet Cleanses” don’t work! And to add insult upon injury, the percentage of Acai berry contained in “the clease” couldn’t help a field mouse.
If you purchase this stuff to lose weight you be an idiot. If you purchase the extracts or drinks containing high percentages of the Acai Berry for the anti-oxident effects than I commend you.
The “Acai berry” in my opinion is a great food to counteract the damages from free radicals to our body’s systems at the cellular level.
If you don’t get it you never will. If you do…more power to you.
Tommorw’s post will show you why Dr. Nicholas Perricone specifically talked about Acai berry on Oprah’s Show. Stay tuned.
I’m Sick of Oprah…She Speaks, Diets Scams Emerge
Posted by: | Comments
It never fails. Someone pays Oprah to be on her show and tout some “Unbelievable New Product” and because she speaks everyone goes out and buys that product by the truckload.
Here’s a little secret… to be one of the books on Oprah’s Book club it cost’s the publisher $10,000.00 dollars minimum to have her talk about it.
If you’re willing to spend the money anyone can get on Oprah. She really is an enterprise and I don’t fault her for that, I would never. What I do want to bring to light is that she endorsed as well as Dr. Oz the Acai berry as a Super food. I won’t disagree with the anti-oxidant effects of the Acai Berry at all. That is all true.
What I have a problem with are the absolute scam diets that are coming out touting that this new Superfood is going to help you lose …up to 42 pounds…lose all the weight you want by just drinking this juice without changing anything else. It’s not going to work.
The Acai berry is chock full of Anti-oxidants and can help with ridding the body of damaging free radicals but don’t ever believe that “Berry Juice” disguised as a “Berry Diet Cleanse” is going to take off the fat that can only be burned through “sensible eating and real exercise”.
Just because Oprah is an awesome person to so many millions of people and was able to elect an African -American Senator from Illinois to the most powerful position in the free world, still doesn’t mean that you will lose weight from a “Berry Drink”.
Short intense workouts and sensible eating will do it everytime.
The Best Exercise for a Flat Stomach…
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s not what you think!
Most fitness professionals will have you doing a million and one sit ups, crunches or a variation thereof. Screw that!
Actually the muscle that keeps your stomach flat is called the “Tranversus muscle”.
The Tranversus is what sucks your stomach in and keeps it there. So why the hell would you want to do exercises that build the muscles under the stomach and push your stomach out. It’s absolutely ridiculous!
Mountain Climbers….Mountain Climbers and more Mountain Climbers are what will burn more fat fast and make your stomach flat. Mountain Climbers work all the major muscle groups of the body…chest, shoulders, upper back, stomach, hips, thighs, calves…
I think you get the picture. Watch the video to see how to perform a Mountain Climber properly.

It’s the Economy Stupid…No F#@kin’ Kidding!
Posted by: | CommentsI’m not big on bringing politics into fitness but this financial calamity is still trying to find its bottom and hope is really all we have at this moment. Really, what is hope without action…it was a rhetorical question but I’ll answer it anyway.
WORDS, that’s all it is only words. I hope we get out of this mess…what are YOU doing about it? I hope the President has a plan…really? Why? Create your own destiny.
It’s the same way with your fitness. Hope and words won’t ever take the fat your carrying around and make it magically disappear. Although the Secret was a number one best seller I still think it was one of the biggest scams ever propagated on a “hopeful” public. I have listened to people say if I just “think” hard enough I can will myself to lose this weight.
Bullshit! and Bullshit again if you didn’t read it the first time. Thinking that you will some how develop willpower that you haven’t been able to muster in the past ten or so years and magically lose 10, 20 or 30 lbs is absolutely insane.
This “false” hope just like most of the “bailout” money that’s going to bonuses and purchases of new banks, is what you’re creating with this new will. Hope in not the answer…action is. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute and step by step.
An action based on consistency and dedicating at least 15 – 20 minutes a day is what will get you to your weight loss goals but action without a plan can be dangerous, exactly as the “bailout” of the banks was. Again, false hopes…basing your weight loss goals on a “Lose Weight Quick Scheme” of diet pills, diets and products that make you sh@t oil are not going to get you to your goals.
Get a program from a qualified fitness professional and be consistent with your meal plans and weight loss exercise program. If you need a place to start and want a guarantee then go to: http://Lose30inThirty.com and get started on creating a better quality of life.
The Party for Change…Obama’s Message Speaks volumes.
Posted by: | CommentsI have been a registered republican ever since I graduated high school and was able to vote for Ronald Reagan, but last night was a historical event of epic proportions.
Barack Obama a relative unknown, with very little political experience has captured the highest office in this democracy. It literally is nothing shy of amazing. I hear pundits griping about how much money he raised, how Hollywood was behind him, how Oprah was secretly funding his campaign and every other “losers” excuse. The reality is that he was determined and he had a specific goal in mind and he persue it with all the vigor he could muster. He also ran on an ideal that; in this country a relative unknown, bi-racial candidate actually had a shot of living in the White House. His mantra of “Yes We Can” struck an emotional cord threw the hearts and minds of individuals in a country divided by a war and the worst economy since the depression.
“Yes We Can”…”Yes We Can”. It is my wish that all the overweight and unfit in America will lead a new charge, and seek real change in their health, well being and become free from the prison of fatness that encompasses their body.
Barack Obama has shown you and the world that living in America really is the land of opportunity and the opportunity to get fit and lose all the weight that you want is a real possibility…and it’s about time you reap those rewards. The time for change is now! Your future and quality of life depends on it!
