Archive for lose weight quickly

When I receive the onslaught of e-mails like I have in regards to yesterday’s blog post condemning me to Hell and parts unknown, I have to ask one question;” What really are the benefits of being Fat?”

It seems like a logical question being that I get haters by the dozens telling me what a harsh son of a bitch I am. That I should die…even though they might be two pie slices away from a heart attack. It doesn’t make sense to me that Fat people and thin people who have taken up the fat people’s cause would curse the day I was born but can’t give me any real “benefit” to why being fat is such a great status symbol that they should be accepted, tolerated and given special treatment.

When someone can give me a real answer and not something that poses as an idiotic excuse for comedy like, “When your fat you can wear sweatpants to a restaurant and no one cares”. Yep…brilliance on parade here…or even more stupid, “You can always get your money’s worth at the all-you-can-eat-buffet”. Yep, I’m laughing so hard I’m peeing my pants.

If you can find any benefits which I don’t think you can…then what the hell is taking you so long to get your shit together?

…and by the way, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

How about watching the video portion of my blog below.

I have never really liked the taste of Protein Bars.  Most of the time they taste like I dipped my tongue in a bucket of Spackle…and yes, working in construction I tasted my share of Spackle.

What really is a so-called “health food” doing with all those preservatives, fillers, high fructose corn syrup and my favorite enemy in the world…trans-fats. I always wondered how they got away with that. This doesn’t sound like a health food to me.

My other favorite additive they put in Protein Bars is “Sugar Alcohols” such as maltitol, sorbitol and xylitol to help keep them “Low Carb”.  The funny thing about these ingredients is the Dietetic Association of  America states that exessive amounts of Sorbitol can have a “laxative effect” and can cause disruption in your GI tract (basically gas)…yep, you’ll be the hit of the party!  What does that mean?  That if you are chomping all day on these bars thinking they’re healthy that you better be close to a bathroom and bring plenty of toilet paper.

Well I’m happy to say that my friends over at Prograde Nutrition have developed something that absolutely will replace the “Protein Bar”.  Prograde decided not to create a “Protein Bar” but a “snack bar” called Prograde Cravers that is totally 100% “organic” and taste awesome.  They have literally been called the “Best tasting bars on the planet”

I’m excited about Prograde cravers because they are finally something that I can recommend to my clients, friends and colleagues that are actually healthy and only contain 180 calories (the perfect caloric value for a healthy snack).  I have to tell you I love them and would never recommend something that I wouldn’t eat myself.

Try some of the best tasting snack bars on the planet at Prograde Nutrition and say no to Protein Bars

Watch the video to see what some of the toughest critics in the world and to say.

Now that my Lose 30 in Thirty Fitness Program has gained in popularity I get asked these types of questions on a daily and sometimes twice daily basis.  I just wanted to share with you this one question that was asked of me today:

“Hi, my name is Andrea I am 19 years old and I take dance lessons over the past year I have gained 20 pounds I now weigh 170!!! and I have dance competitions in April I definitely need help I really want to purchase your weight loss kit but my mother says its not healthy to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. If you lose weight that quickly won’t you just gain more and quicker? and do you actually mail the kit to us or is it just on the computer?”

Your mother is right and she’s also wrong at the same time. If you were to lose 30 lbs in 30 days from dieting alone it would be very unhealthy. You would need to starve yourself by restricting your caloric intake and that is actually counterproductive. When you restrict your calories your body takes the fuel that’s required to keep it going from other sources, specifically your muscles…that Andrea, is not a good thing.

When your body is using muscle for fuel it is breaking down the very engine that helps to burn the fuel and that is what makes you gain weight faster. My Lose 30 in Thirty Fitness Program is a system that forces you to build the necessary muscle first, replaces your muscle were it needs to be making you more symmetrical. When you are symmetrical your body is in balance and will burn fat faster. My program is not a “Lose Weight Fast” scheme it is a really hard workout. The fatter you are the more work you have to do to take the weight off. By the same token you need to understand how to exercise efficiently so that you are not working out for 3 hours a day and wasting time.

Many of the exercises in My Lose 30 in Thirty Fitness Program burn more fat in less time. Running stairs is a good example. If you run 10 minutes of stairs you will be burning more fat than you would be running on a treadmill for 35 minutes. This is what the program does. It forces you to workout smarter and harder. Don’t kid yourself this workout is “hard” and is not for wussy’s.

So to answer your question…yes my program is much safer and healthier for you than trying to diet to lose 30 lbs in 30 days.  We have also made it very convenient to buy online and have it delivered the same way.

When I heard some of my liberal friends talking about how former President Bush totally screwed up science and scientific research I thought my head was going to explode because it just sounded like more “Bush” bashing.  Liberals in general love to find some way to bash on the Bush’s but this time I’m in total agreement.

Now researchers have found a virus that causes you to get fat?  How many more excuses are “researchers” going to give “fat” people to blame their size on.  Now what’s going to happen?  Are the Drug Companies going to start making some “fat vaccine”.  So that every child will need to be vaccinated against the dreaded fat disease.  Haven’t we gone a bit too far?  Now fat is in the same league as Polio and Mumps?

Now I really think my head is going to explode.  65 % of America is now fat because someone sneezed on them and gave them “Fatness”.  You’ll have people talking around the water cooler, ” I feel sorry for Bob, he caught “Fatness” from someone in the office.” “Yea that “Fatness” is really going around” “I wish that suzy would just go home, I don’t wanna catch that “Fatness”.

Here’s a couple of tips to building your immune system against the horrible “Fatness” disease:

1) Build your immune system from eating dark green leafy vegetables

2) Eat more fruit

3) Stay away from meat laced with saturated fat (you may catch it from the piece of meat)

4) Exercise at least 30 minutes a day combining resistance training and some type of aerobic training

I know what you’re saying…”Rocco you’re a friggin’ genius! You found the cure for the “fat” disease!”  I know, it’s a miracle I can stand in the same room with myself.  My brain is so big I can barely keep my head from falling of my shoulders.

Listen to me my friends, Romans and countrymen and women.  Please do not buy into this crap.  All of this “research” is a Public Relations attempt to scare or cajole people into thinking they are fat because they caught something. Now that you have been bombarded with all this news media telling you so, the drug companies can now bring to market a “pill” to manage or cure the Obesity epidemic.

Now you will never need a Personal Trainer or have to exercise ever again because “Doctors” will be the only ones to be able to cure it.  Nice try.  I have seen the stupidity that embraces bariatric surgery.  Thousands of dollars to cure your fatness only to be left with a life of literal starvation.

Oh, shit I just had another epiphany! You want to lose weight fast? Get your ass out of the the chair and stop eating garbage and maybe you won’t catch the “fatness” disease.  “Whew, that Rocco he’s a smart one.”

I’m driving up to Santa Fe yesterday and I’m taken in every bit of what I call “God’s Country”.  The majesty of where I live and my surroundings is so beautiful it’s overwhelming.  If you have never been to New Mexico or the the States that border the “Four Corners” you are truly missing a part of the great country we live in.

I come from a small town in New Jersey not more than 18,000 lived there or probably still live there very upper middle class and as a kid I lived in what was considered the slums of Ridgefield, NJ…the apartments near the park.  My brother’s and I grew up in an incredibly dysfunctional working class family. I look back and remember the feeling of being poor but the reality was that my parents made descent money it was just elusive to us.  Those are word’s for another story…  Being poor felt horrible to me and I vowed never to feel that sense of insecurity again as long as I lived…and it’s been a roller coaster ever since.  That drive and determination took me out of NJ and sent me to NYC, Cincinnati and now Albuquerque, NM… and it got me thinking.

The choices fat people are not one’s of “thrive” they are mostly about survival.  Instead of living their life in forward momentum it seems that of a life stuck in the the rhythm of insanity and circular strides, always coming back to the familiar and comfortable.  This same hold’s true for most homeless people…with one exception.  Most fat people use there job, kids and spouse as an excuse for not having the time to workout and eat sensibly.  Most homeless don’t have those worries.

Like I said it got me to thinking.  If homeless people don’t really have anything tying them down to one place then why the hell would they stay in freezing cold weather in NYC, Cincinnati, Boston and the real stupidity Chicago.  It just doesn’t make sense.  If I was homeless, I would begin walking (if I had to) to a warmer destination.  If I had to brave the winter’s in a cardboard shanty I’d opt for Florida, Texas or Louisiana.  Now I’m not saying that all the homeless should start a mass migration to warmer climates but I just wonder about the mentality.  If you could be homeless wouldn’t you want to take the stress of maybe freezing to death off your list of worries.  Maybe it’s me?

The big reason homeless people don’t move is because they don’t know any better.  Their reality is with the familiar and as shitty as the freezing cold might seem.  They still live in the comfort that it is familiar to them. The familiarity of fat and your surrounding’s of being fat are what keep you fat. Not wanting to challenge yourself to see want’s beyond the fat.  As with my recommendation to homeless people living in the frigid conditions of the Midwest and Northeast to move to warmer climates please get out of the fat comfort zone.

Make the sacrifices necessary to lose the weight, challenge yourself to see the rest of your life the way you want it, not the way someone else thinks you should live.  You really do have a choice.

In this year of change and the battle cry of “Yes, We Can” let’s take our new presidents advice and fight for what is yours…a better life out of the prison of fat.

It’s about time you lose weight fast.
