Any suggestions or questions please let me know, the 10 day food challenge is a great place for anybody to help start burning body fat

Is that why “red meat” is bad for you?

When’s the last time you ate a fast food burger? Are you waiting for ground beef to go on sale at the grocery? Did your kiddos eat at the school cafeteria , have you checked the menu lately?
“Pink Slime” is whats being served in most school districts. The slime is essentially the glue holding the meat together. Its not really glue but it can’t be much worse!!
Saving THREE CENTS a pound off production costs and making $440 million/year in revenue the FDA has allowed the beef industry use fatty slaughterhouse trimmings treated with ammonia as a filler in ground beef.
Is that why some critics say that “red meat” is bad for you?
In January fast food restaurants stopped serving pink slime, I wonder what Bowling Green schools serve, does anybody know?
Here is a quick newscast from Denver I found about the pink slime zqak7r04

Toys in Fast Food meals BANNED in Bowling Green – Yes or No?
Some health officials and fitness experts are wanting to make policy to ban restaurants from including toys in meals that have more than 485 kcals or 600 mg of sodium, and meals that have more than 35% of total kcals from Fat or 10% from added sugar.
They would also make restaurants include low-fat milk and 100% fruit juice options instead of chocolate milk and sugary juices.
I personally am in favor of making healthy options available but I wouldn’t consider a “ban” instead they could eliminate unhealthy options with no toys in favor of the healthy choices with toys?

Back Pain Relief – Transverse Abdominis Workout
Back pain is caused when the lumbar push against the nerves that run through the spine.
Some of the most common causes of PAIN are
The irritation and inflammation is sometimes so brutal tha people will resort to narcotics and their side effects just to get through the day.
I recommended stretching and losing weight first, but for most strengthening the transverse abdominis is a great place to start.
Think back to Dolly, the TA is what wraps around your stomach and helps you squeeze in and out when you breathe and sing. The TA supports the spine and helps keep it erect and intact while the body is torqued or put under physical stress throughout the day.
Back pain is not normal so if you break it down to the cause you help build from the source up. Try these simple exercises for starters

If your Human – you have a natural Sleep pattern – Vampires are different
Your body internal “clock” – You natuarally want to sleep 2 times a night – between 8pm and 12am and again around 2am and Sunrise with some quiet bed meditation time. Most people’s stress and “modern ways” alter this natural phenomenon.

GT Get Fit Tip: Body Mass – How Much Do You Really Weigh?
Heavier one pound of blubber, blood sucking, jelly roll of fat, or a pound of lean, toned, ”fat” burning muscle?
When you talk about body mass or total weight your actually talking about two different things = fat vs muscle. Lean body mass of the body is made up of bones, organs, muscle and water.
Fat mass is all the weight in fat that’s left over. Depending on height, age and sex yourBody Mass Index (19-24 optimal)will vary.
My clients often ask how a person who starts an awesome cross training or weight lifting program gain weight before they see a significant loss in body fat?
The answer my friend is because muscle is more dense than fat and fat takes up more room in your pants and shirts. Muscles also hold water so small increases in lean muscle tissue adds water weight in the initial stages before seeing a big weight or fat loss.
I had one client lose 14inches in her butt, abs and boobs and only 7lbs total. Muscle will add good weight that is optimal for burning fat when you’re not working out. Little bit of muscle training will help you to get toned.
Not only will you look and feel better, but live longer. Being fat will kill you slow and painfully over time, one joint, one organ at a time. If you need convincing listen to obese people talk about how their feet, knees and back hurt. Ask somebody who lived with Type II Diabetes for more than 8yrs staying overweight and have their foot amputated because of high blood sugar. Know somebody that had a heart attack but continues to be overweight and/or smoke?
Tell them you love them, its only a matter of time before they won’t be around, take it from me, sooner than you could ever imagine.
STOP obesity!! It kills
All of us can, if you will.
