Are you on Vacation? What about Mobile Food Component Choices?

Date: July 2, 2012  Author: Jeff Leave a comment

Are you on Vacation? Not Cooking at home?

Your long weekend could really use some mobile protein.  This is where my friends, Egon and Eric of Nutrimart have several products, just for this purpose.  The hardest part of traveling is mobile protein. Yes, you should have protein in every meal when possible.  Don't skip a meal if there is simply no protein.  Here are some mobile meal components:
 
Mobile/Convenient Proteins:
 
NutriMart
Quest bars (1 bar is a serving)
Whey Protein (1/2 scoop is a serving)
Complete Cookies (1/2 is a serving)
Liquid Isopure (1/2 bottle is a serving)
 
Supermarket/convenience store
Greek Yogurt (4 oz)
Cottage Cheese (4 oz.)
Edemame (4 oz)
Hardboiled egg
Turkey Sandwhich (1/2)
Albacore Tuna Packets or single serving cans
 
Mobile/Convenient Fats:
Walnuts (tbs.)
Almonds (tbs.)
Peanuts (tbs.)
Macadamian nuts (tbs.)
Order olive oil and vinegar on a salad, out (tbs.)

What Bars and Shakes Should I Choose?

Date: June 3, 2012  Author: Jeff Leave a comment

The Skinny on Shakes:

I've reviewed a lot of shakes and drink mixes.  My TriSystem Pre and Post workout shakes (members get my shake recipes on their menus.  Click here to become a member) are designed to not be refrigerated.  They are just a mix of powders that you can put in a shaker bottle and just add water when you're about to drink them.  Another option for the shakes are meal replacement packets by  Lee Labrada. They come in a box and you can also put them in a shaker bottle or water bottle.  Already made drinks that are liquid need to be refrigerated and are more expensive, generally  One that does not have to be refrigerated , but tastes best cold is the Isopure Zero Carb Liquid protein.  These are in glass bottles and work well with fruit and a few almonds.

 

The Deal With Bars:

Many bars have bad fats in them that could increase inflammation and actually store more fat.  Stock up on the Perfect Food Bars, they are made right here in San Diego.  Most Henry's stores have them. Check out the store locator on their website, http://www.perfectfoodsbar.com.  The Heart Thrive bars are also a "better bar"  the best place to get them is online at http://www.suncakes.com/Heart%20Thrive%20nutrition.htm.  They need to be refrigerated to last.  I order a lot and freeze some.  These are my first choice bars.   If you just can't find the time to get them, my second choices, for convenience are: 1.  A Clif Builder Bar or (3rd choice) just a Clif Bar or a Small MET-Rx Bar. These can be found in most grocery stores, even convenience stores and gas stations, but they are not as good as the Perfect Food Bars or the Heart Thrive for clean, non-GMO eating on the go.

 

What if Exercise Makes you Nauseous?

Date: February 15, 2012  Author: Jeff Leave a comment

So your working hard, trying to lose fat and get fit and every time you push a little harder, you feel sick.  How can you succeed if every workout makes you nauseous? I always say, " A successful fitness plan must follow the Progressive Overload Principe."  Taught in the NASN Personal Training Course, this principle simply means you have to continually push it! 

But exercise makes me feel sick!

The problem is this:  you have exercise intolerance.  Defined as  a condition where you are unable to do physical exercise at the level or for the duration that would be expected of someone in his or her general physical condition, or experiences unusually severe post-exercise pain, fatigue, or other negative effects. Exercise intolerance is not a disease or syndrome in and of itself, but a symptom.

One theory behind exercise induced nauseousness is an inability  of the body to tolerate the lactic acid in the muscle as a result of anaerobic exercise.  Lactic acid can cause nausea and fatigue if at high enough levels in the blood.

A simple solution to this is to stay well hydrated and also consume a product that contains potassium pyruvate, a nutrient known to help bind with lactic acid and increase the muscle cell's ability to derive energy aerobically.

My favorite product for this is scoop of Global Formula's BIOBURN ENDURE.   It contains POTASSIUM PYRUVATE, L-CARNITINE, COQ10, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID, CITRULINE MALATE.  Take it 30-40 minutes before exercise for best results.

I hope they make fruit punch flavor, but  raspberry will get the job done with a tart taste.  Where is the best place to get this?  Nutrimart.  888-600-9777

Be sure to mention you are a TriSystem Platinum Club member or TriSystem Supplement Club member to get your discounted rate.  Be truthful!,  only members get my Special discounted rate and I know who you are!
