Limited time offer -80% off sale on BioTrust Glutengone!!!

Fact is, gluten is secretly hiding as a food additive in sauces, salad dressings, soups, seasoning blends, and the vast majority of packaged foods (even if you think they're gluten-free)... not to mention all your favorites like bread, pasta, cereals, and desserts. Even worse, gluten is virtually impossible to escape when dining out, even when ordering from gluten-free menus as cross-contamination runs rampant in most restaurant kitchens.

So why is gluten such a problem that you MUST avoid? You see, gluten is extremely difficult for most people to properly digest, leading to digestive issues like gas, bloating and overall discomfort. And even if you don't "feel" the side effects of gluten, rest assured it's still causing "silent damage" to your gut and immune system. When ingested, gluten acts like shards of glass cutting into the intestinal wall, causing inflammation and compromising your immune system, overall health, and can even be the cause of slowed or completely stalled fatloss.

Because of this, we truly believe that everyone should be supplementing with a premium, natural gluten-digestion formula, every day, to avoid the harmful effects of hidden gluten while also allowing you to regularly enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods like bread, pasta, and dessert without worry. And simply put, there is none better than BioTrust GlutenGone.

Even better, benefiting from GlutenGone couldn't be easier: just take one small capsule with each meal and let science do the rest. But hurry, this rare offer is ending today and we have never offered another brand new premium, natural BioTrust product at just $9 a bottle previously...so don't miss out!

Secure your discounted supply of GlutenGone now before this price is gone forever:

7 Ways Fasting Can Rev Up Your Fat Burning Furnace

By Brad Pilon, MS

Flexible intermittent fasting is becoming a very popular way to use your body’s natural ability to burn lots of fat in a short period of time.

Here is a list of the ways that flexible intermittent fasting will turbo charge your fat loss.

1. Increases Fat Burning Hormones

Hormones are usually at the root of most of your metabolic functioning, and fat burning is no different. Growth Hormone is the most important fat burning hormone in your body. Fasting pushes growth hormone production into high gear and this makes your fat burning furnace start to work overtime. Fasting also decrease your insulin levels, which ensures that you burn body fat instead of storing it.

2. Increased Fat Burning Enzymes

Fat burning hormones need the help of fat burning enzymes to get their job done. Fasting will sky rocket the activity of two of the most important fat burning enzymes in your body. Adipose tissue HSL (Hormone Sensitive Lipase) is the enzyme responsible for allowing your fat cells to release fat so it can be burned as energy in your muscles. Muscle tissue LPL (Lipoprotein Lipase) is the enzyme responsible for allowing your muscle cells to take up fat so it can be burnt as a fuel. Fasting increases both of these enzymes to optimize fat burning - A perfect combination.

3. Burn More Calories

Short term fasting (12-72hrs) actually increases your metabolism and adrenaline levels. This causes you to increase calorie burning during the fast period. The more calories you burn the faster you can lose weight. The extra energy you get from the fast might actually help you through a workout or get more work done at work or around the house. When I did my first fast I was shocked at how awake and energetic I was. My fasting days are now my most productive days of the week.

4. Burn Fat Instead of Sugar

Fasting shifts your metabolism from burning blood sugar to burning mostly body fat. When you eat a meal your body likes to burn carbs first, then the fat from your food. Any extra fat that your body can’t burn in the few hours after you eat get stored as body fat. When you fast your body has no choice but to burn stored body fat. By the end of a 24 hour fast your body is burning way more fat than it would during a regular day of eating.

5. You’ll Find Out Why You Eat

The most surprising benefit people report back when they start fasting is a new found awareness of what causes them to eat. When you make a conscious decision to fast for a day your less than flattering eating motivations become painfully obvious. This is the first and most effective step to getting rid of bat habits for good. Knowing what your motivations are for poor eating choices is essential before you can change them and build better habits.

6. Builds Positive Attitudes Towards Yourself and Food

Each short fast is an accomplishment that can build self confidence and gratitude. At the end of a 24 hour fast you can feel good about your accomplishment and start feeling good about your relationship with food again. The positive empowerment from each fast builds on the last until you feel completely in control of your food choices.

7. Eat All The Foods You Love Guilt Free

Short term fasting allows you to lose weight and burn fat without restricting any of the foods you love to eat. With this style of eating you can consume any and all of the foods you like whenever you choose without feeling guilty about it and still lose weight. You will never again have to be sitting in a restaurant picking at a salad while everyone else at the tables indulges in their favorite entrée and dessert.

Eating for fat loss doesn’t need to be complicated and food should never be a source of anxiety or guilt. Mixing in a few 24 hours fasts to your week can liberate you from the dieting prison and allow you to enjoy food again.

Every Day Carry Kits for Survival

Here is an example of my EDC (every day carry) or Phase 1 survival kit. While these kits can be varied with a million different items, you should be thinking about what works best for you.

My kit consists of a glock 17 with 18 rounds of 124gr JHP ammo, waistband holster for concealed carry, tactical folding knife, IPhone 5, wallet, (magnifying glass fire starter, multi-tool, large piece of folded tin foil- all credit card sized and fit in wallet), keys with para cord bracelet with whistle and fire starter striker.

Yes you could add this and delete that all day long. Bottom line: this is what I actually have on me every time I leave the house. I'm confident that I could make it.

Think about it and optimize a simple yet effective EDC kit for you and your family. It might be a game changer one day. Better to have and not need right? Remember the commercial- what's in your wallet? This is the tactical version. Put your kit together and be more prepared tomorrow.

The Paleo Rant Revisited

I support and agree with Paleo and Primal nutrition concepts in their general form. My nutrition program that I teach is rooted in the general Paleo and Primal concepts.

But when modern food products are labeled Paleo, I lose my calm composure.

I have ranted on this before.

I cannot stand modern food products with the word Paleo on it. 

For some reason it drives me insane. 

Now you can buy Paleo bread, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, ice cream cones, protein bars, snack packs, trail mix and who knows what else. 

Hell, they will probably come out with Paleo edible underwear next. 

Do you really think Grok the caveman had anything like that? 

Hey Paleo honey, why don't you fire me up some Paleo bread in our Paleo oven, while I sip on some Paleo beer after a hard day of being a Paleo hunter-gatherer. 

Really People? 

What is worse is all the wanna be Paleo people who buy the crap, thinking they are Paleo, when they open up their Paleo package, that they received in their Paleo mailbox, from the Paleo mailman, after they spent a whole bunch of their Paleo money, on these unrealistic Paleo food items, that were made in a Paleo processing facility, and shipped out of the Paleo warehouse. 

It is so far removed from the original Paleo Diet concept that it is not even funny.

So if you are interested in quality Paleo Diet resources, check out these:

Remember the basics and you will normally do fine.

Spaghetti: Skip the noodles, eat the squash!

Hey,

I hope you are doing great!

Tonight, I made spaghetti squash again and it came out awesome so I thought you would want to hear about this.

This time I didn't cut the squash in half like many cooking methods call for.

I just stabbed it a hundred times with a knife all over and then baked it at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Pulled it out and split it down the middle and it literally just fell apart.

I scraped the seeds to the side and then used a fork to pull out the "spaghetti noodles".

Put the squash noodles in a bowl and added tomato paste, garlic, sea salt and baked chicken.

Stirred it all up and it was great.

The seeds will be dried out overnight and lightly salted to eat tomorrow.

They are super good for you too.

That is a simple and super easy way to cook spaghetti squash.

Forget the spaghetti noodles and try the spaghetti squash.

Tastes almost identical and it is so much healthier.

You can use your favorite spaghetti recipes and you will be surprised at how close it comes to the real unhealthy thing.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Tactical Tip: Practice Drawing Your Knife

Many people carry pocket knives as a utility tool and self defense back up weapon. Most people never practice a tactical draw of the knife in self defense mode. It is a good idea to add it to your training schedule because it might save your life one day. This video simply brings up the need for practicing the knife draw. Implement it and be that much more prepared.
