Crazy Blind Guy Sees His Way to Fitness

It's rare that I'm moved and inspired at the same time by something I see on the internet.

But today I have an exception for you.

Let me briefly prepare you for what you're about to see and hear.

I say "see" and "hear" with all due respect because the man who put this wild fatloss and fitness system together cannot do either.

He is totally blind and almost totally deaf.

So he made this presentation with the help of one of my friends in the fitness world (my good buddy Jon Benson) who doesn't take a penny (nor will he ever) from helping this extraordinary new fitness role model.

I wanted to do my part, too... but believe me, I'm not just helping a blind guy out here. I'm sharing a true gem with you if you want to take your body and your motivation to the next level.

Imagine this:

Being totally blind and overweight. Yet wanting to be fit.

Now, really picture it:  You cannot see, so going to a gym is... well... almost impossible (or so you may think... this guy figured it out... ) You trip over weights other people leave on the floor. You cannot tell if someone is using that machine (you know, the one you had to count steps to from the gym door in order to find?) until you practically sit on them.

Get the picture?

And what about eating right?  How do you measure everything? How do you know if you're buying the right brand of, say, chicken breast? Is this chicken with or without skin?

You see how tricky this is?

And yet, Mike figured out how to do it.

More than that -- he dumped over 40 lbs of blubber and put on muscle shape... and now he looks like a different person.

My friend Jon tells the motivational story about this blind gentleman and his fitness story here:

You may be thinking... "Okay, so how can a blind guy's program help me?"

I thought the same thing until I checked it out.

You see, A LOT of the fitness challenges we ALL face (sighted or not) go unseen (pardon my expression!)  We just can't seem to figure out "why" we cannot get or stay fit... and the real reason for this is that we cannot see the REAL problem.

My new friend, Mike Weingarden, is just your typical guy... except he's blind (totally) and almost deaf. But he was forced to dig a LOT deeper than most of us due to his physical challenges in order to figure out how to shed bodyfat, shape-up his body with lean muscle, and stay super-motivated.

Doing this allowed him to discover the REAL challenges... and the solutions... to changing anyone's body.

I'm telling you, this guy has put together a System that is just unreal.

It's not a "nice-to-have"... it's a must-have. Not just for the inspiration (and who wouldn't be inspired by this man!)... but for the 80 (yes, eighty) training and nutrition videos Mike shot during his journey. He shows you how to perform just about every exercise you'll ever need. He goes over nutrition, inspiration, in-home workouts... and so much more.

The videos themselves are worth a small fortune... but Mike is not a greedy guy. He's practically giving this away just to get his foot in the door of the fitness world. And, in his own words, "Just to prove a point... that if I can do it, anyone can... no exceptions."

Here's the full story...

Go get inspired... and get into your best shape ever.

P.S.  Let me be honest with you:  Mike is far from a rich guy. Just the opposite. Due to his physical challenges, he can barely make ends meet. But he came through and put together an an incredible program here.

So yeah... of course. I wanted to help Mike by sharing this System with you asap... but there's more to the story.

Mike is giving 10% of his earnings to a charity for the blind. So you will not just be helping yourself get fit (and yes, helping Mike out too) but also helping some people who cannot see regain some of their personal freedom.

His charity is really cool. It's covered in the presentation on this page... as is his See Yourself Fit System, including his 80-plus digital videos...

7 Metabolism-Boosting Nutrients

If you've read my Fat Burning Kitchen as well as Truth About Abs ebooks, then you know I point out dozens of "minor" things that can all have small, but cumulative effects on your metabolism and fat burning efforts.

Some of these that I've written about are:

• Use of cruciferous veggies to help fight the xenoestrogens your body is exposed to (that can make stomach fat particularly stubborn)
• Use of green/black/white/oolong teas to have very slight increases in fat burning effect
• Use of capsaicin to have a slight thermogenic effect and increase in calorie burning
• Use of cinnamon which is proven to control blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and thereby help to control appetite/cravings and burn more fat
• and dozens more simple little "tricks" like this that can all add up.

I've made sure to stress that none of these are "miracles" that will magically transform your body...

I've always tried to stress that the main aspects of your lifestyle, training consistency and strategy, nutritional habits, and mindset are vitally more important than any of these minor "tricks and tips".

But, I also honestly think that if you consistently combine many of these minor aspects like spices, teas, food types, etc, etc -- that you can see a legitimate increase in your fat burning results.

Although I don't believe in "Fat Burners" per se, I found a great new product that I think can help to maximize your metabolism...

This product contains some of the things I've talked about before... green tea, cinnamon, capsaicin, L-tyrosine, AKG, and a few other goodies.

I don't think it's a "miracle fat burner" or any nonsense like that...but I DO think it can help to give you the edge and increase your metabolism. Based on some of the ingredients, it could help to control blood sugar, control cravings, increase thermogenic caloric burning, etc... check it out here

(yes, this can be shipped to several dozen countries now)

Some of my other Prograde favorites that I personally use:
-EFA Icon (the powerful Krill Oil)
-Longevity (under anti-aging category)
-Cravers
-Prograde Protein (cold-processed, stevia sweetened)


Enjoy!

The "lost" factor for fat loss success

As you know, I talk a lot in my newsletters and in my book about everything that can make you successful with lifelong permanent fat loss... and that involves:

1. your mindset and motivation
2. the priority that you put exercise in your life
3. the priority that you put nutrition in your life
4. your knowledge of training and nutrition

As well as many other factors.

But there is yet another factor that we often overlook that determines whether you're going to be a success in getting and maintaining the body that you want for life, or if you're going to fail.

And that factor is... social support

Let's face it, if you have this major goal of getting in amazing shape, but most of the people that you surround yourself with are out eating wings and drinking beers 5 nights a week (or are couch potatoes), then it's highly unlikely that you'll be a raging success in your fitness goals, as they will inadvertently "drag you down".

So I wanted to create a community where like-minded people like yourself, who are striving to be the best you can in your fitness goals, can interact with others in your same shoes.

This can be your support community.

So what we've done is put together a new website where you can interact with other Truth about Abs users who are making fitness a priority in their lives.

You can chat with others from around the world just like you about your fat loss goals, struggles, meal ideas, workouts, motivational stories, and more. You can find out what's working for them and apply it to your own life.

We're calling this the "Truth About Abs Inner Circle".

Beyond the ability to chat with and receive support from 1000's of other people from all over the world, here's what we're also going to give you in this site:

*new insider-only articles each week to keep giving you fresh ideas
*video tutorials with very unique workout ideas, bodyweight exercises, abs exercises, gym workouts, full body workouts, and more
*new meal plans and healthy fat burning food ideas consistently
*Q&A of the week
*chat room and forum support for your personal challenges
*motivation
*and much more!

But I don't want to try to "convince" you to try out this site.

Instead, we've decided to let you join for only $1.00 for your first 15 days!

The software for this site, email support, hosting, website costs, and more are costing us a fortune to operate this site, so we're taking a risk letting everyone try it out for only $1. And even the CC processors take that full dollar for themselves, so we don't even see a cent of that.  But we're willing to bet that you'll love the site and will stay a member, making it worth our investment in the future.

If you want to stay a member, your investment is only $14.95 per month after that, and you can cancel anytime with a simple email.  That's about 1/5th the cost of most people's cell phone bills or cable TV bills, but this investment will actually IMPROVE your health instead.

If you decide that the Inner Circle is not for you, just simply cancel before the 15 days, and you'll never be charged the first month of $14.95.

In addition, even if you forget to cancel on any given month, we'll still refund any amount you've been charged if you decide that's what you want.

So go ahead and sign up for the $1.00 Trial for the first 15 days of use of the site:

http://www.truthaboutabsinnercircle.com/

And please go ahead and start interacting with other members from around the world and get that social support that you need to be successful for life with your fitness goals!

Like I said, if you want to cancel at any time, it's as easy as a simple email to us, and we'll take care of it.  Also, even if you "forget" to cancel, we will still happily refund the charge for you if that's what you want.

So try out the first 15 days for only a buck:

Enjoy!

I'll be back soon with more Lean-Body Secrets Newsletters in a couple days.

2 Teas possibly more powerful than green tea?

Unless you've been on another planet the last few years, you've had it beaten into your head on the health benefits and antioxidant properties of green tea.

But there are 2 other teas I'd like to give honorable mention that could easily be just as healthy, and possibly have even more potent health benefits...

the only thing is that they simply have less studies on them, so they don't get as much publicity as green tea.

*From South America:

The first one I will mention is Yerba Mate, a South American herb.  I've developed quite a taste for yerba mate over the last couple of years, and it is a rich source of antioxidants, and particularly rich in polyphenols.

Although green tea gets a lot of press about it's antioxidants, don't overlook the benefits and antioxidant power of yerba mate tea. Plus, I think the taste is great!  I've been hooked lately on this cocoa-yerba-mate tea I found recently at Whole Foods. Delicous!

The caffeine content of yerba mate can best be described as somewhere between green tea and coffee.

*From Africa:

The next lesser known tea I wanted to mention that often takes a backseat to the spotlight of green tea is Rooibos tea (aka - red tea).

However, some argue that the antioxidant power and health benefits of Rooibos tea can easily rival green tea... it's just been studied less than green tea so it doesn't get the same attention.

Rooibos tea has no caffeine but is also an amazing source of different types of antioxidants compared to green tea. It's rich in minerals, flavanoids, and plenty of other unique antioxidants.  It also has a great taste that you might like.

Since rooibos tea has no caffeine, it's great to have near bedtime as an alternative to chamomile tea.

So, although most health professionals and media outlets like to talk about green tea and it's benefits, don't overlook the powerful health benefits of teas from the other continents -- in this case, Rooibos and Yerba Mate teas!

Enjoy!

The healthiest new fast food option

When you're traveling, sometimes it's not the easiest task to find healthy food options, especially if your only options are fast food joints.

I try to stay far far away from places like mickey d's or BK... I think I've only had them once or twice in the past 2-3 years.

But I've found a much healthier fast food option recently on many of my travels. I've been seeing a lot of these fresh mexican food places popping up all over the place. There are several different chains such as Chipotle, Baja Fresh, Rubios, etc.

But here's how I modify their options to get the healthiest meal possible...

Usually the menus are full of burrito and taco options, but I really don't want the wheat or corn tortillas since those are just useless carbs and calories without much nutrition value. Plus, most wheat wraps are made with hydrogenated oils (trannies), so that's another reason to avoid them.

So what I do is ask the worker to make me a special plate where I'll just pile up a few of the meat options, tons of veggies, beans, salsa, and LOTS of guacamole. I always decline the rice too since that's also a pretty useless carb with no real nutrition value and doesn't add much on taste either.

This pretty much confuses the worker every time since this "mixed plate" option isn't really on their menu, and they don't know what to charge me, but I just ask them to charge me for whatever they think is fair.

Considering this is fast-food, this is about the healthiest option that packs the most nutritional punch without overloading on useless carbs. Plus, it's pretty damn tasty too! And it also satisfies the appetite for a long time since it has plenty of healthy fats from the guac and fiber from the beans and veggies.

Consider giving this little trick a try next time you're out and about and want to find a healthier fast food option.
