To EAT Meat or Not That is the Question?

It’s You Choice make it Fit your Goals and lifestyle…..

Hey it’s coach Rahz here with a post that may shock our loyal readers.  Many of you know my love for body building and sports in general. I would consider myself a purest when it comes to eating like a bodybuilder. I feel we’re all bodybuilders of sort. You are either building a strong Adonis body or a soft Michelin man body. What you eat directly influences how you look and feel. So with that said brings me to the topic of should we eat meat or not?

Old school bodybuilder were carnivore and that’s what I’ve been my whole life until now. Over the last few months I’ve been studying and researching alternative ways of eating healthy and not losing my hard earned lean muscle. After a few hundred hours of reading, I’m going to make a bold statement. “Not eating meat will not make you lose muscle.” Not training hard and sitting on your ass is what make your body loss muscle.

So here’s where I am today. one of my 2012 goals is to eat significantly less animal protein and kick up my natural plant based protein. I feel I’ve discovered a happy medium between my animal protein and plant based protein ratio. I’m not going to become a 100% veggie guy because it just not for me. I don’t knock those who are vegetarian or vegans, I just have my personal opinion on the subject and it works for my clients and I.

Coach Rahz’s 2012 Resolutions

So I thought I share some of the ways I’m committed to eating less animal protein in 2012.

1. Meatless Monday- No Meat in my diet all day Monday
2. 1 meal per day will consist of Nuts or Bean Protein Only
3. Reduce my Macro-nutrient ratio to 45%/30%/25% – Carbs, Protein, fat- My Protein intake was higher last year about 35%
4. Start each Weekday Morning with Greens Smoothie or a cup Green Tea & Fruit at 4:30am Genesis

I thought I would also share my favorite Green Machine Power Shake Recipe which I am going to be start my weekdays off with as of Jan. 2nd

Greens Veggie Smoothie

• 1 cup coconut, rice, or almond milk, or water [I Prefer Water]
• 1 banana
• 1 cup of another fruit (fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 tbsp ground flax seed
• 4 or 5 ice cubes to make cold

Blend all the ingredients together and you are all set to kick-start your body’s fat burning engine. If you rather not have to blend all the fruits and veggies up or you’re just tight for time Prograde Nutrition makes a great green mix call Genesis. It tastes really good and very convenient. I’m super impressed but the taste, and how good I feel hours after drinking the shake. If you would like to get more details on the Genesis Green drink or any other Prograde Supplement  [CLICK HERE]

If you liked this post don’t forget to pass it on to your social networks. Also let me know your your favorite morning drink.

Have a outstanding day, and I’ll chat with you all again real soon.

Post Summary: You make your decision to eat more meat or less, but I’m committed to less because it’s clear as the day is bright that less animal protein is better for your health. So as a matter of health start slow and make healthier choices daily. Go Green!

10 Holiday Cheat Meal Strategies to Burn Fat The Right Way

What's your favorite Cheat Meal?

Before I get into the 10 Holiday Cheat Meal Strategies To Burn Fat, I just want to announce we are hosting our 3rd Annual Gut Buster Workout on Thanksgiving morning at the Meta Burn Fat Loss Studio. This is a free metabolic workout designed to prepare your body for the Thanksgiving feast ahead.

It begins at 8am sharp. All we ask in exchange for your revved up metabolism is 3 canned food items to feed those in need this holiday. Whether near by or somewhat further, this will be your best fat burning workout to date! We are located at 480 Forest Ave in Locust Valley, NY (inside Forest Executive Center on corner of Forest Ave). Here is a flyer for the event, just show up.

Gonna be a great time and will be the start of your 10 Cheat Meal Strategies below for the holiday season.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Researchers have proven that weight gain during the holiday actually isn’t that bad. They shown that on average most people only gain a pound and those who are more overweight or obese tend to put on about 5lbs. From a number view that might not shock people to change or seem like a lot. But…what they don’t tell you is about the rabbit hole this weight gain can lead too.

Those who gain weight during the holiday typically have a difficult time burning the fat off, and psychologically go into the new year at a disadvantage.

Let’s cut to the chase and give you these strategies. There is a condensed version you can download and print below to hang on your frig. I’ll explain them in detail on the blog.

10_Holiday_Cheat_Meal_Strategies<—right click and save as

Strategy #1: DO NOT eat until discomfort. People tend to blow cheat meals/days out of proportion by stuffing loads of calories down their throat until they are ready to vomit. Eat whatever you want, just don’t push it til you want to puke. If you over do it, your body will begin to shut down because it won’t be able to handle an overspill of food. Hence why we get tired and sluggish after we eat. Gain the self control to eat what you want but in a tolerable quantity your body can handle. You’ll know when you reached the limit

Strategy #2: Depending on what you are cheating with, eat your protein first.  Protein will help fill you up and keep you satisfied. If you haven’t heard of the thermic effect, protein has the highest above carbohydrates and fats. Meaning it takes more calories from the body just to breakdown and digest protein. If your cheat meal is more based on items like ice cream or pizza (which are low on the protein count), then just slow your time of eating them to help fill you up to comfort level.

Strategy #3: Make sure you have taken in plenty of vegetables (7-10 servings) for the day before your cheat meal. This gives your body plenty of nutrients and fiber to help fight the calories and push them out. If you are not familiar of what a serving size is, you can get the answers here SERVING SIZE CHART. Don’t get hung up too much on the exact serving. Just be sure to eat more vegetables then normal to keep your body healthy during the cheat meal experience.

Strategy #4: Have your cheat meal in the afternoon or night. Most people make a BIG mistake by going to a place like IHOP for breakfast and starting their day off with a cheat. This can lead you down a rabbit hole of continuous cheating all day.  Start your day right and eat clean up until your cheat meal. Cheating in the morning can also lead to a lack of productivity and focus.

Strategy #5: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS eat at a table and never in front of a TV. Doing this will keep you conscious of how big of a cheat meal you are actually having. If you haven’t read the book Mindless Eating, grab a copy today. It explains all about how we mindlessly eat throughout the day. It’s backed by a ton of research they did observing hundreds of people. You can experiment yourself. Grab a large bag of chips and watch your favorite movie. At the end measure how many calories you just ingested.

Strategy #6: Don’t plan your cheat meal. Have whatever you want at the moment of your cheat. Don’t go grocery shopping for it, because then there is a chance of left over cheat meal for the next day. Typically we are bad estimators. So we may estimate we need X amount of Y and Z to create your cheat meal. What happens most times is there is left overs. What’s left over leads to temptation the next day unless you toss it as soon as you are done eating.

Strategy #7: Don’t excessively drink alcohol. 1-2 drinks is ok, but more will reverse the effects of a cheat. They have shown that an excess amount of alcohol can decrease your levels of the hormone Leptin (fat burning hormone). Whereas the cheat meal is intended to burst the level of Leptin upwards, alcohol can reverse this process. 

Strategy #8: Feed yourself consistently throughout the day. Don’t skip meals to save calories for your cheat meal. The guilty like to do this because they like to even things out. Drop the rules of balance when on your cheat meal. Feed yourself every 2-3 hours until you get to your cheat meal. Make sure to start your first meal when you normally do in the morning.

Strategy #9: Exercise the next day at an intensity of an 8 out of 10 (to your ability level). Now there are two schools of thought and both work exceptionally well. One school of thought is to go right back to your normal way of eating and have a good workout to help fight off the overflow of calories in your system. This way your metabolism stays fired up above normal and will continue to burn at a high rate up to 36 hours later. The second school of thought is to have a complete fast day with a strong workout. Since you have enough energy stored from the cheat meal, the body can handle a workout on a fast which will burn maximal calories for the day. You decide what type of person you are what you can handle. Personally I like going back to a normal way of eating, but I have to say I’ve done the fasting numerous times and it works great!!!

Strategy #10: Consume above your normal level of water. This will help fuel your metabolism. Water is your metabolism’s best friend and is the body’s favorite nutrient. The key is to keep your body at a high rate, and water is it’s fuel. Go into the next day dehydrated, and you are looking for trouble on the scale.

Print the 10 Holiday Cheat Meal Strategies To Burn Fat above and paste on your frig. They have worked extremely well for our clients who implemented them properly.

I look forward to taking pictures of my cheat meals during these holidays and even show you before and after photos of the progress.

Be sure to leave a comment below and let us know your favorite cheat meal.

Eat Well, Train Hard, Stay Active, and Live with Passion

Coach Rahz Slaughter, MPT

This is what I need someone to do

I’m totally having a horrible week. I’m being tested with one thing after another just falling out of place and placing more stress in my life.

Can you relate to having an awful week that doesn’t seem to get any better?

Would love to hear some of your horror stories so I know I’m not alone

Don’t worry I’ll be bouncing back, because that’s what I do best in my life…just taking some time to clear my head and send you some cool information Mr. Nutrition has been testing out.

—————————————————————————————————————–

Hey Mr. Nutrition here and I wanted to brighten up your day. I’ve already pulled out some childish pranks to cheer up Coach Rahz, so now it’s your turn (minus the childish pranks).

There’s this new thing going around called Carb Syncing, some call it Carb Splitting, others have different names for it to make it sound cool. It’s a marketing game to make you feel like there is this new way of eating that has never been discovered until now!

Don’t fall for the names of things and get caught up until you do some reading of your own. It’s been around for ages but there’s so many diets and eating protocols out there, that it seems brand new. It will be for most, but the concept is quite old.

With that being said I actually like this way of eating and it’s something I have taken to for my first Fitness Modeling show at the World Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation.

Let me break this concept down into the science and then show you how you can apply it. I’ll keep this real short so not to bore you.

Insulin Injection

Let’s talk about Insulin. No we are not referring to the insulin diabetics inject into their bloodstream. We are talking about our natural sources of insulin our body creates.

FAT STORAGE HORMONE = INSULIN

Although at certain times insulin can be a great transporter of nutrients into our muscles and tissue, most times you want to control your insulin because it’s a dangerous transporter.

Ever see the movie Transporter with Jason Statham?

He’s quite a dangerous dude and he transports dangerous items no matter what and nothing can get in his way…much like Insulin.

To give you a more scientific picture here is a definition of the fat storing hormone Insulin:

So as you can tell from the process above, when insulin is present at high levels in the body (doesn’t take much to do with the amount of sugar and processed carbs we consume), the use of fat as an energy source is shut off. When we consume fat with insulin present, they break down into fatty acids in our blood stream. With no use and no where to go, the Insulin present in blood stream pushes those fatty acids into the cells and stores them for later use (if the insulin ever drops).

This is very powerful knowledge to understand and to absorb because if you want to prevent fat gain, control your insulin. I’ll address foods and ways to control your insulin next week, but for now let’s give you a brief understanding of how to avoid the ugly fate of fat storage. Let me caveat something though, this does not mean that meal plans with carbs, protein, and fats combined are bad for you. Those actually work very well with the proper combination of foods like seen in our 28 Day Belly Fat Diet Guide we created.

What I am saying is for most people who typically have a poor dietary habits, to regulate your body and advance your fat loss results to a new level, this is a great strategy to test out with your body. Don’t forget to add a crucial component of exercise which I will discuss in a future post as well about how and when insulin should be spiked to increase your results. Click the link right above this to get a great Butt and Thigh Fat Loss Workout for Women.

Here is a sample meal plan of how to separate fats and carbs through out the day for you action takers who want to try this out. This is just a template so be sure you are not allergic to any of these foods and consult your physician before you try a new nutrition strategy (yes it’s that famous disclaimer ). Quick note: it’s impossible to separate fats and carbs altogether so it’s ok to have small quantities (under 10 grams) of each when the other is present

Breakfast: 1 egg and 3 egg white omelet with mixed veggies and 1 cup of Uncle Sam cereal with cup of unsweetened almond milk

Snack: handful of mixed nuts and Polly O String cheese

Lunch: Lean Turkey Burger on whole grain bun with side salad of mixed veggies and chopped fruit topped with light serving of balsamic vinegar

Snack: 1 apple with 1 cup 1% cottage cheese

Dinner: White Fish served with side of Quinoa and mixed steamed veggies topped with lemon

Late night Snack: celery stalks topped with peanut butter

Stay tuned for future posts on how to control your insulin and what foods are best for that as well as a super ninja fat loss tactic for using insulin to your advantage. This is quite powerful since it helped me put on 15 lbs of lean muscle with little fat gain. Ladies don’t worry you won’t gain a ton of muscles like that. I purposely ate over 3,500 calories a day to put on size along with my intense workouts.

Strong is the New Sexy

More Muscle + Proper Nutrition = Fit and Sexy

Lift Heavy or Go Home!

Today’s Post is about the NEW Revolution in Sexy. Women all across the world are starting to realize and embracing the fact that muscle is the New Sexy.

I can tell you from personal experience because my clients are getting ripped and loving it. Most women that I first come into contact with when discussing health and fitness goals have some preconceived fear that if they lift heavy weights they will become muscle bound and bulky…making them look “manly”.  This could not be further from the truth, and there are three basic reasons why.

1. Muscle is more dense than fat – because muscle is more dense it takes up less space or volume per pound than fat does.  In fact, adding muscle tone over the entire body will actually cause you to shrink.  More muscle changes everything from your metabolism to your posture. These positive changes happen with as little as 2-5 pounds of lean muscle.
2. Women are not hormonally designed to build large amounts of muscle – most women think that if they lift weights they will end up looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but this just cannot happen because women do not produce the right hormones to increase muscle size like that.  Women, in general, do not produce enough testosterone to promote rapid muscle growth.  I’m not saying that women cannot produce muscle, they can.  I’m simply saying that women are not designed to build muscle the way a man is able to.  Strength training will produce muscle growth in women, just not to the extent that it does in a man. “I always joke with my female clients that if they put on too much muscle I’ll put you on stage and we’ll start their new career.”
3. Women are not bio-mechanically designed to support large amounts of muscle – a woman’s hips are typically wider than their shoulders, and their skeletal frame cannot hold lots of muscle like their male counterparts.  Because men have wide shoulders their skeleton can support more muscle mass in the upper body.  It’s simple physics, and a woman lifting heavy weights is not going to change that. Once I’m able to assist my clients to create that paradigm shift a whole new world opens to the capability to change their body through weight training and lifting heavier weights.

My Top 10 list of crazy ass statements I’ve heard from prospects and clients about weight training and women getting bulky.

1. More Protein will make me bulky
2. I have big bones
3. My legs blow up after one workout
4. I can’t eat that it has fat in it
5. I don’t eat carbs they make me bulky
6. I have broad shoulders
7. I’ll look like a Boy
8. I have Man Calves
9. Squatting make my Ass Bigger ( No Eat too much makes your Ass Bigger)
10. Lifting more than 5 pounds dumbbells will cause my arms to bulk

As I began this post I wanted to change the mindset that women lifting weights and gaining muscle is a positive results and part of a new revolution in female fitness. With proper nutrition and a systematize weight training plan women can gain lean muscle and receive all the benefits as men do from a strong sexy body. Celebrities like Jessica Biel, Holly Berry, Hillary Swank come to mind when I think of fit and sexy Hollywood superstars.

I recommend keeping the program simple yet high intensity because you will have a higher success rate of completion and results. My 28 day belly fat diet is simple, fast and very effective in helping women get the tight, tone, firm look without hiring me and paying me thousands of dollars to help sculpt your rock hard sexy body. If you’re looking for a workout program  check out my girl Holly Rigsby’s  Fit Yummy Mummy Home workout DVD Program, it rocks and goes well with the 28 day belly fat diet program.

40 Never Looked So Good

I highly recommend you check out Holly’s Kit, she’s a mother, entrepreneur, and she makes no excuses for not staying Fit and Sexy.

So until next time go out there, lift heavy, get strong, and create the Sexy New You Today.

When Life Beats you up, Punch Life Back in the Face

Fitness|Strength|Confidence

What’s the big idea about women taking kickboxing classes across the country? Why are more and more women taking self defense classes and private lessons to learn the art of self defense? Women’s boxing first appeared in the Olympic Games at a demonstration bout in 1902. For most of the 20th century, however, it was banned in most nations. Its revival was pioneered by the Swedish Amateur Boxing Association, which sanctioned events for women in 1988. The British Amateur Boxing Association sanctioned its first boxing competition for women in 1997. The first event was to be between two thirteen-year old, but one of the boxers withdrew because of hostile media attention. Four weeks later, an event was held between two sixteen-year olds. The A.I.B.A. accepted new rules for Women’s Boxing at the end of the 20th century and approved the first European Cup for Women in 1999 and the first World Championship for women in 2001. Women’s boxing was not featured at the 2008 Olympics; however, on 14 August 2009, it was announced that the International Olympic Committee’s Executive Board (EB) had approved the inclusion of women’s boxing for the Games in London in the 2012 Olympics

NEVER GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR DREAMS

Good Morning and Happy Monday. Today’s message is about never quitting on yourself and your goals. Over my 34 years being blessed to be on this amazing planet I’ve seen, heard, and experienced some good times, bad times and all in between. I like to tell you a story about 2 guys who were pushed to the limit but never gave up.

A few years back I met these two guys and they were young entrepreneurs’ and very ambitious. They told me about their goals and ambitions with such passion and excitement. I could tell that the older one was the leader because he never stopped talking, but the younger one was a silent assassin with a burning desire to achieve greatness.

As we discussed their grand plans for world domination I could see many holes in their plan, but who was I to add my two cents and negative energy to their dreams. The older of the two guys had this glow about him that was contagious and inviting. He made you want to hear more about his plans and how he was going to accomplish them. He also made you really want to see him succeed.
After our last meeting, time went on and I didn’t run into the two guys or think about them until one day something attracted me to Starbucks. I don’t drink coffee too much but this morning I felt the need for caffeine. I pulled in tired and not really wanting human interaction this early in the morning. As I’m waiting on this annoying long morning caffeine line, in walks this guy with his head down and looking sad. It didn’t take me long to see that it was the older guy I had met about 6 months ago.

The only difference was he had lost his glow. I said good morning, and he replied, “Hey” I could see he was distressed and I wasn’t really into talking but when someone looks in pain I can’t help but try and help.

It didn’t take long to get a conversation going and to find out this once ambitious super excited entrepreneur had left this guys body and replaced it with someone else. I told you the line was long Right?

So I was able to do some fact finding and found out that the two guys were going through some challenges with their dreams. They had hit a few road blocks, pot holes, and detours on the highway to success. I asked if I could help, but he replied not if you can’t help me get out of this rut I’m in. I replied I just may be able if you tell me what’s going on. He went into his long sob story, which really boiled down to he had lost his excitement and was thinking about quitting on his dreams.

After sitting down and listening for about 10 minutes I offered some advice and pointed him in the direction of one of my favorite books. I also gave him my cell phone number and told him to call me if he needed to talk. I didn’t hear from him again for about 3 months then out of the blue he called.

His voice had changed back to the voice I remember when I first met him. He sounded like he found his Mojo, and was on fire with life again. I asked him what he had been up to the last few months and he told me that he went that very same day we met in Starbucks and purchased the book The Magic of Thinking Big by Dr. David J. Schwartz.

He wanted to thank me for recommending the book and helping him get his life back on track. He said that life had began to beat him down, and he had lost the ability to think big and focus on his goals and dreams. He also shared how close he and his young partner were to quitting and closing his business. He also was super excited to tell me all about the past three months and how their lives had changed.

Once their power of focus and positive energy was regained their business changed and began to succeed. He explained that the book helped them learn about the power of setting big goals, and never quitting on them no matter what the challenges are. I was so happy to hear this because I knew these guys had something special and I’m just glad I could share a few nuggets of wisdom. Sometimes when things aren’t going well we all think about quitting and giving up on our dreams, but that’s when we have to dig deep and push through the tough times.

In life we all will have to experience some tough and downright shitty times, but during those times we develop our character. You might be thinking or already guessed who this story is about, Yes It’s Mr. Nutrition and Yours Truly Coach Rahz. The book I referred to really is a personally favorite and helped me get through a very tough period in my life about 12 months ago. Yeah just 12 short months ago Breakthroughs To Fitness was at a cross road and had to make some difficult decisions. After rereading David’s book Greg and I set out to create the Best most talked about Fat Loss Studio On Long Island, and we’re proud to say the doors are open for business.

We are still running into challenges but now we know how to handle them and not to over react to them. You may be having trouble losing those last 10 or 15 pounds, Don’t Quit. You may be having challenges with your wife/husband or significant other don’t give up. You may be feeling life is beating you down and you’re alone don’t quit. When money may be tight and you’re feeling the squeeze don’t give up.

I can share my sob stories with you all day, but I choose not to because They don’t serve me or you, but what I will share is just when things seem to be at their worst they usually get better because you didn’t quit. Don’t allow yourself to play small. Dream Big, Set Huge Badass Goals and go after them with every ounce of energy you have, because what’s the alternative? living a life that Sux and you’re not happy.

Greg and I have a very Big Ambitious Goal of helping 1000 women transform their lives through health and fitness by the end of 2012. I plan on achieving that goal and I sincerely hope if you are reading this you are one of them. I’ll leave you with one of my favorite poems.

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
