In case you haven't already heard...

Renowned best-selling author and mega-nutrition authority David Wolfe has just released the FIRST EVER "Total Health Transformation" System.

It's called Longevity NOW!

If you aren't familiar with David, his clients include Woody Harrelson, Mark Victor Hansen, Tony Robbins, Angela Bassett, and Steve Jobs.

There's a reason (several in fact) that this guy is the #1 nutrition and whole-health authority.

1. Because he is the worlds leading expert on nutrition and super foods, with multiple Masters degrees in engineering, law, and nutrition.

2. Most of the other diet and nutrition advisers out there make life stifling and difficult...asking us to give up bread, forbidding sugar (or anything that tastes good), or forcing us to use a hard-to-clean juicer and yada yada yada.

Here's the good news:

No more asking you to give up the foods you love. No more asking you to use a juicer. David hates cleaning juicers too!

I've got a great new video for you that shows how to easy it is to add TASTY superfoods into your daily meals to increase to energy levels and massively boost your immune system EASILY.

Even people who have eaten garbage for 20 + years and suffered lack of energy or low vitality...

They have found David's advice easy to follow, fun, and TASTY. Finally you can ADD IN healthy foods and longevity technologies WITHOUT taking anything out!

7 Don'ts After A Meal‏

1. Don't smoke - Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

2. Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

3. Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

4. Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

5. Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

6. Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

7. Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Australian Scientists Report Weight Loss Breakthrough

SYDNEY (AFP)—Australian scientists may have discovered how to help people lose weight without cutting back on food, a breakthrough that could pave the way for fat-burning drugs.

Researchers in Melbourne found that by manipulating fat cells in mice they were able to speed up the animals' metabolisms.

They found that when a particular enzyme, known as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), was removed, mice were able to eat the same amount as other mice but burn more calories and therefore gain less weight.

Animals without the enzyme were on average 20% lighter than normal mice and had 50 to 60% less body fat, senior researcher at the Howard Florey Institute Michael Mathai said.

"It is very clear that they do have less body fat," he told AFP.

Mathai, who is also a lecturer in nutrition at Victoria University, said the slimmer mice also appeared to have less chance of developing diabetes because they processed sugar faster than normal mice.

He said the research, to be published Tuesday in the US-based Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could be used to develop drugs to assist weight loss.

Drugs which impair the action of ACE already exist and are mostly used to combat high blood pressure.

"The drugs are out there because they are used for hypertension," he said.

"So we know their safety and their tolerability. What we don't know is whether or not they will work in humans. And we don't know whether it will work in all obese humans."

Mathai said it could be a question of finding the right dosage of hypertension medication, or developing a new type of drug of the same class, to be used as weight-loss pills.

"This might be one way in which you can increase metabolic rate in combination with managing nutrition to limit the intake of calories," he said.

Mathai said the research, conducted at the Howard Florey Institute, Victoria University, La Trobe University, Deakin University, the Baker Institute and the University of Melbourne, was yet to pinpoint why the genetic manipulation led to weight loss.

"Because we deleted the gene, the gene is gone from the whole body, that means that it is gone from all tissues including the brain," he said.

"And so we don't know whether it's a direct effect of the deficiency in the tissue or whether it's something coming from the brain."

10 Tips For Successful Meal Planning

Go ahead-live on the edge of culinary pleasure. It's all about what you have in the house and making sure the menu is time appropriate for the sanity or insanity of your life on any given evening. I guarantee you, if you walk through these steps, you will be healthier, happier and have more free time and disposable income.

1. Have a Blank Grocery List: Commit to having a blank grocery list on the fridge or nearby pegboard that is clearly visible to all. You can go visit www.cookingfortherushed.com to print ours or use it as an example to create your own. It's important that there are five spaces on the top for meal selections.

2. Get Everyone Involved: When everyone in a home has a say about which meals they would like to eat, they are likely to be more open to other family member selections as well. Even better, tag the person who selected that meal to cook it as well, depending on their age of course.

3. Keep It Simple: Once five complete dinner selections have been made, pair the longer preparation meals with the evenings you have more time, and the shorter preparation times with the days you have a small amount of time.

4. Relax!: Relax with a tea or a glass of wine for 15 minutes each week and rekindle a love affair with your cookbooks and find recipes on foodtv.ca. I have proven in my conferences across North America that it really, really only takes 15 minutes to complete a custom-made reusable meal plan. So set your timer because steps 4 through 7 will honestly only take you that long once the dinner selections are chosen.

5. Fill in the Blanks: Once the recipes are chosen and sourced in your meal plan, it's easy to simply transfer all the ingredients from each recipe into the appropriate food section of your blank grocery list (print neatly as you will re-use this over and over again). **Do not fill this list in according to what groceries you have on hand.

6. Protect Your Masters: Protect your master list and printed meal plans with a plastic sheet cover and store them beside your recipe books in a small binder. Because this list is complete with all the groceries you will need for those particular recipes, it's timeless.

7. List What You Need to Buy on a Separate Sheet of Paper: The master list quickly assists you with this as you scan your freezer, fridge and pantry.

8. Get the Groceries in the House: When the groceries are in the house, it frees up your mind about what you're having for dinner. Just a note; knowing what you are having for dinner leads to good eating health. When family members know what they are having for dinner, they tend to have something in the opposite food groups for lunch, which naturally creates a balance.

9. Lay Out Your Ingredients: This could be before you go to work, it could be once you arrive home or it could be the night before. All that really matters is that you do it first. Once all the groceries are laid out, a commitment to cook has been made. Who in their right mind would put everything back and then order pizza!!

10. Celebrate Eating by Working Together: If one person cooks, others clean up. Put a candle on the table, tell the person who cooked how happy you are and how beautiful the meal is. Watch what happens! You won't believe your eyes, but your palate and your waistline will convince you, if you meal plan my way, dinner time will become an event, not a chore!

Family Meal Planning

Family meal planning is a life saver for most families. Just imagine creating an easy meal plan and knowing what you are going to be serving up for meals each day of the week? You will save time, money and your sanity.

Family meal planning is a wonderful technique that you can utilize and modify to fit your families needs. The idea behind this is simple. The principle of family meal planning is set up so that you cook and or prepare your meals ahead of time and then preserve them by either freezing or refrigerating them. Also, with family meal planning you can cook one large meal and get 2-3 other meals out of it!

The key here is to make every meal you cook count! When you are going to prepare a family favorite, double, triple, even quadruple the recipe if it will keep in the freezer.

Sounds wonderful doesn't it? Why not give yourself a much-needed break-cook ahead today so you can relax tomorrow!

The first step in family meal planning is always the most challenging. To make it less challenging I suggest that you grab the following supplies: Pen, paper, your personal recipe collection or your favorite cookbook and a comfortable chair.

Start by writing down a list of your favorite meals and plan on preparing a grocery list that will coincide with your list. Now, since we are talking bulk cooking here-if you normally would serve up one pot of spaghetti, plan to serve 2 (that would mean that you will have to double the recipe, so be sure to alter your shopping list accordingly). It will take the same amount of time to cook-just a little extra planning is needed.

Next you can use a blank calendar and simply write the meals down on the day you will serve them. I personally post my meal plan up on my refrigerator for the entire house to see. This also helps to prompt me for the next day of meals that will be served.

The most important tool in meal planning and bulk cooking is your freezer. If you have a small freezer, don't fret; you can fit many meals in that small freezer space-it will just call for a little more creativity on your part. With the use of freezer bags, that you can stack flat and the use of some freezer proof containers you will be surprised at how many meals your freezer can hold.

Here are a few essential and widely used meal planning techniques and tips:

Multi-recipes: Using this strategy requires you to cook many main course meals in one day. For instance, on a Sunday morning you could prepare a roast in your Crock pot, some spaghetti on top of the stove, a baked Chicken in the oven and perhaps a nice salad. You also could quarter and boil some potatoes, cook some rice and some veggies (either fresh or canned). What you now have is 5 different meals that you can use throughout the entire week. You can eat one of the meals that very evening and you could Freeze or refrigerate the rest. This technique works very well for some people and it provides a wide variety of dishes that you can use. I personally use this technique from time to time. I usually do my multi-recipe cooking on a Sunday and it can take up to 5 hrs to complete but what you are left with is 2 weeks worth of food that you can enjoy. And notice that the meals that I use in my Multi-recipe list are easy to prepare.

One Cook Wonder: With this strategy you would cook one main course recipe that can be used for different meals. For Instance, let's say you just baked a large turkey. You could slice some of the turkey off and serve the breast with gravy, dice some of the turkey and prepare a turkey gumbo and use the rest for either a soup or turkey salad. Mind you, you do not have to prepare all of those meals on one day. After the turkey has been cooked and cooled, you can freeze and refrigerate the turkey that you cut off the carcass and prepare your other Turkey related meals at a different time.

Quick and Easy meals: Be sure to incorporate those quick and easy meals into your planning process. If your family loves Sloppy Joes, cook up the sloppy joe meat in bulk and freeze it-then all you need to do is defrost the meat, grab some buns and viola.

What about Hamburger Helper? Why not cook 2-3 boxes of it, separate it into 3 separate large containers and freeze them. That idea alone allows you to prepare 3 meals in just 30 minutes.

Designate a meal for a particular night: Every Friday night in my house is either Pizza or burger night. The idea here is to choose any night of the week and just designate a meal to go with that night. I always make sure that I have plenty of Frozen Pizza's with a variety of toppings on hand in my freezer. The same goes for those turkey burger patties (my family doesn't eat much ground beef). The idea behind this process is that you now have one night's meal already planned. You can also stock up on that meal when the products are on sale. If you see Frozen pizza's being sold in bulk, grab them up!

Love your leftovers: This is one of my favorite parts of meal planning as it allows you to use your imagination. At least every other week or so be sure to go through your refrigerator and take inventory of what you have in there. When you combine 2-3 leftovers, you may find that you have a meal right there. You can use left over pasta from spaghetti to prepare a pasta salad, leftover spaghetti sauce and just a few pieces of chicken can be a wonderful dish to top with cheese and place in the oven. Again, with a little imagination-you can make your leftovers work for you!

Use the sales paper: everyone loves a good sale and I use the sales paper to help me in my meal planning. When I see our family favorites on sale, instead of buying one, I will purchase 3-4 of the same items and simply come home and prepare the meals or freeze the food that I purchased. My family and I love chicken. When I spot whole chickens on sale I've been known to purchase up to 5-6 at a time. Keep in mind that I have a family of 6 and in my family of six; there are 3 teenagers (and you know how much they can consume). By shopping like this, I actually save hundreds and hundreds of dollars a year in food alone!

Helpful supplies

Labels/freezer bags/Freezer-proof containers: Be sure that you have all of your freezing and refrigerating needs on hand. When storing food in freezer safe containers be sure to place a label on the container with the name of the meal and the date the meal was prepared.

Crockpot: This handy appliance is my best friend in the kitchen. When using a crockpot you literally prepare the meal, place it in the crockpot, Set it & Forget it. It is a hands free cooking experience. I cook whole chickens in my crock pot and then slice the chicken up to freeze and use for sandwiches, enchilada's, chicken salads, chicken soup, chicken stew.. as you can see-the possibilities are endless.

Family meal planning is a money, sanity and time saver. What else could a busy mom ask for? Now, let's get cookin'!

Travelers Workout And Diet Plan

Packing on slabs of muscle is easy for those who have all the time in the world to train, eat, and rest. Unfortunately, 1% of us fall into that category. The question then arises as to what to do for those of us who are "running" on the corporate treadmill that keeps increasing in speed.

Admit it, you’ve fallen prey to corporate work hours, your significant other may complain you are not spending enough time with the kids, you are consistently traveling for work, your nutrition has gone to pot, and frankly, you are beaten by life. Does this scenario sound familiar? Well now it’s time to do something before your washboard turns into a bowl full of jelly.

Sometimes weights aren't always available when you travel, which would at least allow you to maintain or improve your physique; fortunately, there's a workout for you too. Weights aren't crucial to improving your physique; let's take a look at some exercises that can not only maintain your hard earned muscle, but even improve your physique. If nothing else, it's a great way to add some variety (even if you are still using a gym).

Workout A

Walking lunges across hotel room floor (at least 10 repetitions for each leg)

Superset with

25 pushups with hands shoulder with apart

Repeat set 3 times

Duck walks (squat into the lowest comfortable position and walk forward from one side of the hotel room to the other. Continue walking repeatedly for 30 seconds. Stand to shake out the legs and repeat 3 times)

Superset with

25 pushups with hands in a triangle position

Leap Frog (you don’t need to ask your co-worker to play with you; this can be done across the room on your own. Squat as low as possible, leap (without hitting your head on the ceiling). Do so across room.

Superset with

Bodyweight triceps extensions (place your hands on the dresser or other stable furniture with your feet about 4 feet away from the furniture [the lower the furniture and further away the feet, the more difficult the exercise]). Lower your head by only bending your elbows (thinking of upside down skull crushers). Return to starting position.

Workout B

Military pushups (this if for the more advanced. Get into a handstand with feet against the wall or with friend holding your feet. Lower your body towards the ground and pushup to starting position). Complete 10 repetitions.

Superset with

Rear delt lifts (lying on back with arms out to side (making a cross with body and arms). Bend arms at elbow so fingertips are pointing towards the ceiling. Raise your upper body keeping only elbows and butt touching the floor—for the more advanced, raise the entire body off the floor). 10 repetitions

One leg deadlifts (raise one foot off the ground and behind the body. Squat down as low as possible until back leg is just above the floor. You may have to hold onto something for balance to start). Repeat 10 repetitions on each leg

Superset with

The Plank (keep only feet and forearms on the ground; raise body off the ground keeping your body in a straight line). Hold for 25 seconds

Nutrition On The Go

So now you’ve accomplished your exercise goal for the day, but what are you going to eat? With my schedule I’ll be traveling from the last weekend in September basically straight through the first weekend of November, with some short stays at home. Hotel food gets redundant. It’s hard to encounter a restaurant that can cater to a healthy guy’s lifestyle. You have to get creative.

If you travel regularly, I have a few suggestions.

First, pack some MRP’s and a shaker bottle. Second, pack some high quality nutrition bars. Third, if it’s a long flight, pack some fruit; the tiny bag of pretzels the airlines give you won’t do much to stave off hunger and catabolism for long flights. I recently flew across the country so I had several whole grain bars in my bag, two apples, a baggie of mixed nuts, and a ziplock bacg for “garbage.” I ate as soon as possible before the plane took off and ate soon after we landed. You can also have a shaker bottle full of water, then dump in a MRP, to give you a nice dose of protein; don’t mind the stares you may get on the plane, they are merely from jealous folks who are “enjoying” their liquid sugar from the beverage carts.

The plane ride is now over, but what do you do the rest of the trip to not ruin your entire physique? First, locate a grocery store nearby your hotel. Second, make a trip to the grocery store and buy some non-perishable foods (unless the hotel offers a refrigerator-then buy perishable items like I’ve been doing). If your room has a microwave, throw in a couple of packets of oatmeal and some water for a quick, no hassle meal that’s great for you.

No matter how busy your schedule, there is always time to eat well and train. While the conditions may not be idea, or in your normal routine or pattern, throwing up your hands and giving up will do nothing more than cause you to quickly get out of shape, decrease your work performance, and make you feel sorry for yourself. You may not feel like you have time to exercise—you must MAKE time to exercise!
