With so many interesting foods and diets out there, we are bound to run into some interesting, and fun facts about diets, and the stats behind certain foods. Some of these snacks are alarming and should be concerning for parents and nutritionists.

The first, surprising, and fairly alarming fact, is that over 30 million Americans skip breakfast. That is just about 10% of the countries population, skipping out on the most important meal of the day. Breakfast can change the outcome of any day, a healthy, well balanced meal can help boost metabolism and give the brain and body the energy it needs to push through the day. Vegan meal

Another interesting fact which many people are unaware of is that lemons are actually one of the healthiest foods anyone can have. With ample amounts of Vitamin C and immunity boosters, simply adding lemon to water can help cleanse the system. Adding lemon to water is important, but keeping toxins out of the body is just as important. A recent poll uncovered that about 33% of Americans do not drink alcohol. Avoiding alcohol is fantastic, even though many admit to having one or two drinks at a gathering, one third of Americans do not drink at all.

With such an increase in the amount of vegetarians and vegans around the country, it is shocking to know that only .5% of Americans are vegan, and 3% are vegetarians. Cities like New York, San Francisco, and Portland are all making strives to make the world a healthier place to live.

Health Food Tips For Professionals

July 28, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

If it was everyone’s decision, everyone would eat healthy, and be as fit as possible. Unfortunately, we all have to work, take care of loved ones, and enjoy simple pleasures of life. These distractions are reasons why people tend to grab a quick meal from their local fast food joint, which after a while becomes routine. These habits that form can head to obesity and other illnesses. For those who work long hours, or have a full family to feed while taking care of so many, here are a few ways to get yourself through the day, while remaining healthy.

People who work long work hours, find it difficult to eat healthy, one way to remain healthy and avoid grogginess is to have small meals throughout the day, not one giant lunch. When the body consumes too much food too quickly, this can cause the body to crash and become very drowsy.

While working, it can be very easy to grab a quick bag of chips or a candy bar. Avoid these temptations by packing your own food from home. Celery or carrots are a good alternative for a mid day snack. Little changes like this can go a long way in eating healthy.

Throughout the work day it is of high importance to drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated is a great way to increase tiredness while getting the recommended eight glasses needed a day. Not only will this cut out unnecessary sugars, but will keep grogginess at bay.

The last way to healthy living is to avoid alcohol on weekdays. This will lower productivity and fill the body with extra sugars, and toxins which are unneeded. If remaining healthy is the ultimate goal, following a few short keys can truly make a long term difference.

Summer Growth

July 21, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

Summer is in full effect, many individuals have hit the beach and showed off their summer bodies. With that said, these people are not in the gym as often as they once were. Which is great, empty gyms! Being able to get on a machine without waiting forever. With so many machines and space available, take these workouts to the next level by aiding workouts with great supplements that can do the body well, and shred up those muscles!

Whey Protein

Many of these supplements are most likely being taken since they help the body, one of which is whey protein. This can be easily taken in a shake, or post-workout drinks. Having a solidified protein diet can help the muscles in the body recover after workouts, and help retain the muscle built at the gym.

BCAA’s (Branch Chain Amino Acids) are also a great way to develop and gain muscles. These acids have lead to noticeable growth in muscle density and work well with muscles to help the recovery process. Not as popular as whey protein, but has results which exceed whey protein. These should be on the top of any supplement list.

Next on the supplement list is Omega-3 Fish Oil which provides great fatty acids which are vital to a healthy body, and also great for building muscles. Not only are these oils great for building muscles, they generally provide proteins and other essential vitamins to retain muscle.

Get those muscles ready for a winter and bulk up with these supplements. It is never too early to gear up for next summer!

Drinks Which Cause Fat

July 14, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

Many drinks on shelves today claim to have 100% juice or no added sugars. Even though they may seem healthy for the average consumer, these drinks are actually packed with additives and non-natural ingredients such as fructose, glucose, and dyes to appeal to the target markets.

The first, and probably most surprising on this list of unhealthy drinks is Gatorade. The energy drink which is expected to replenish athletes contains a large amount of fructose corn syrup as its second ingredient. This seems redundant considering the fact that athletes need water and nutritious foods to sustain high energy levels, and fructose corn syrup tends to drain energy and has tendencies to cause grogginess.

The second, and least surprising of the beverages which can cause fat are energy drinks, more specifically Rockstar Energy. Against popular belief, drinking this will not help you get a rockstar body. It will do the complete opposite with its 62g of sugar per can. Four grams of sugar is one teaspoon, I do not see anything pouring fifteen spoonfuls into their water and downing it for energy. So why drink Rockstar?

Staying energized comes in many ways, of course the obvious energy drinks, coffee, and now there is a twist. Starbucks has a Doubleshot Energy plus Coffee which serves as a quick alternate of drinking a cup of coffee. Seems too good to be true? Yes, because it is, this small container contains just under 30g grams of sugar. Sure, coffee is expected to give a nice kick, but not be the cause for fat.

One final beverage which is more of a mixer is Jose Cuervo’s Margarita Mix which has a great amount of high fructose corn syrup, and packs a punch with 400 calories. Remember this is an additive to an already unhealthy beverage, alcohol. Not the best mix if you ask any nutritionist.

Summer’s Healthy Foods

July 7, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

With summer in full force, it is easy to lose track of your diets with ice cream, and little snacks throughout the day. Although tough, there are ways to get around this and continue to eat healthy. No matter the day, here are some healthy foods which can go a long way when dealing with the summer heat.

Corn is a great way to eat healthy and yet enjoy everything that is summer. Cooking up some corn on the bar-b-que is a fantastic way to stay healthy, while enjoying summer foods. It is important not to drench the corn with butter or salt though, which would ruin the health factor of having corn.

Another great food is tart cherries, a summer time favorite for many California natives. These cherries are both healthy and delicious providing nutrients and a sweet kick of flavor which is nothing but refreshing in the summer season. Be careful to not overeat though, because it can be difficult to stop eating these treats once you start. 5. Watermelon

This may come as a surprise, but tomatoes are a great way to keep healthy, and also provide extra protection for your skin. Tomatoes provide a UV vitamin which can help with extra protection when sunscreen may not be enough. Eating tomatoes raw does not sound the most appetizing, but eating it with salads and other sides can go a long way in a healthy summer.

Being 92% water and 100% delicious, watermelon is a fantastic way to stay hydrated in the summer heat, which eating a tasteful treat. Not only does this taste great, it can help with dehydration and dry skin!

Last, raspberries are a great source of fiber to get rid of nasty toxins and a great ingredient in any summer smoothie. They provide a great source of vitamins which can be coupled with any side or salad, making them a perfect summer treat.

These are just a few foods to help stay healthy in the summer. Stay tuned for more health and nutritional updates.

Snacks Which Cause Fat

July 1, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

Many of your favorite snacks can be the reason the ever anticipated summer body has yet to emerge. Mentioned in previous posts, nutrition labels are not as truthful as once expected, they hide true numbers and give false numbers to when someone is eating. Many of the foods, drinks, and even supplements on the fat causing list are ones you would least expect!

The first on the list is a Slim Fast drink mix. The fact that this drink has sugar as its first ingredient explains why they are served in such small portions which generally do not fill anybody up. These tricky drinks are the reason consumers over indulge in these snacks and drinks, they are un-filling and do not provide the right nutritional ingredients.

The second supposedly nutritious or healthy food is Weight Watchers chocolate chip cookies. Their first ingredient is enriched wheat flour, and the second ingredient is sugar, this so called healthy product is anything but healthy. If anything, having normal cookies in the right portion can have the same effect as having these cookies.

Also making this list of unhealthy products is the Special K candy bars which contain sugar and partially hydrogenated oil as their first two ingredients. These ingredients are accompanied by the third ugly ingredient of high fructose corn syrup. All of the ingredients and nutritional facts can be very closely compared to a Snickers bar. You take a pick on which one sounds more enticing. And for many, picking up the Snickers bar is the more appealing choice.

The scariest of these foods is the Atkins Advantage chocolate peanut butter bar. This small bar which most likely will not satisfy hunger contains 6g of saturated fats and 12g overall. They also have just around 250 calories which does not make this bar advantageous in any way.

It is important to always read ingredients and facts closely, but also understand that portion sizes need to be accounted for when purchasing and eating snacks throughout the day.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Another Carb-Cutting Solution

June 30, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

If you look online, you will find a variety of people preaching that you have to stay away from carbs at all costs if you want to shed belly fat. This simply is not the case. Researchers have searched for and discovered several things that can help you along the way.

A variety of studies have examined how apple cider vinegar impacts insulin and blood sugar management. One of these studies demonstrated that 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar can bring about a 20% decrease in blood sugar levels if consumed after a carb-heavy meal.

Other research has found that participants of the study experienced nearly a 5% decrease in morning fasting blood sugar levels after consuming 2 tablespoons prior to sleeping the night before.

You may be wondering if apple cider vinegar has any effect on fat loss. Thus far there has been a single study conducted on the subject. Japanese researchers examined more than 150 participants who were split in to two groups. Some consumed apple cider vinegar while others simply consumed water every day for three months. After the conclusion of these three months, researchers discovered that apple cider vinegar group lost one to two pounds, on average, while the H20 group experienced zero weight loss. Additionally, it should be noted that the apple cider vinegar group gained this weight back after the study ended.

Josh Bezoni points out while it’s not necessarily ineffective, there are more effective ways to fight belly flat other than consuming two table spoons of apple cider vinegar each day for a 12 week period. If you are searching for a truly effective carb fighting behavior you are in luck. Josh Bezoni and Joel Marion have found a “ritual” that increases burning of fat, lesses fat storage, increases insulin sensitivity, and lowers one’s blood sugar. Perhaps the best part about this is that is a vinegar-free solution. Try it out and see if it works for you!

Do Not Avoid White Food

June 24, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

According to Josh Bezoni, he once encountered a registered nutritionist who swore by the “no white foods rule.” While some white foods, especially those that are processed such as bread, crackers, and pasta, leave a lot to be desired from the perspective of a nutritionist, there a plenty of options that are quite healthy!

It is certifiably crazy to ban outright such items as bananas or potatoes merely because they are white. Each are fully natural, and are packed with important nutrients such as potassium. They could be a good food to begin the day with, or even refuel after an exhaustive workout. Knowledge is key here, folks, particularly if you want to achieve your health goals.

Bezoni mentions loads of other foods that are white that can help burn belly flab and fuel one’s metabolism. Turnips, parsnips, onions, cauliflower, mushrooms, and garlic are all vegetables that are very healthy. Each is packed with an array of minerals, vitamins, and minerals. You shouldn’t be avoiding these foods. In fact, you should be seeking them out!

White beans, which are very low glycemic and boast loads of protein, are also a great option.

Even certain organic dairy products are good for you. Cottage cheese and milk both bring a lot of protein to the table, and yogurt carries the benefits probiotics.

While you may not instantly think of seeds with the mention of white food, many are, in fact,white. Chia seeds and pumpkins sees are packed with protein, fiber, and omega-3s.

Last, but certainly not least, are fish. There is a wide variety of white fish, and by and large they represent some of the healthiest eating choices you can make. For the most part, they are packed with tons of protein and taste great.

It’s almost sad that so many people have this misconception regarding white food. As highlighted above, there is a plethora of white foods that are quite good for you.

Top 5 Fat Loss Commandments

June 23, 2015 by Josh Bezoni

Here are the ten tips to follow when looking to lose weight, other wise known as the 5 weight loss commandments!

1. Develop a vision, not a goal

Wanting to know what your goal is is much more difficult to accomplish than actually visualizing and understanding what you actually want your body to look like. It is important to visualize opposed to just dream.

2. You don’t have to do any radical dieting to lose fat fast

Starving your body does not work, when you are hungry and are on a binge diet the body tends to eat at muscles rather than fat because of the proteins and positive food source they provide. It is important to stay on a normal diet which does not put the body into overdrive causing it to feed at the muscles.

3. Scare your fat away. Intensity matters. Step up!

Fat loss is all about shocking your body. By alternating intensities, changing up your exercise regularly, adding fiber to your diet, changing up the protein sources in your food, and working opposite sides of your body back and forth, you’re sure to burn fat at absurd speeds. Getting into the same routine can cause the body to get used to any particular work out making it null and void after a few training sessions.

4. Pain isn’t necessary to get in shape

Working out should not give you intense pain, maybe a few sore muscles, but nothing which is permanent should come from working out. If this is the case, change up the work outs and make it something which is manageable and will not leave you in pain for days.

5. Your body is your body

Push your body to limits only you understand, this means work out wise, and also diet wise. Do not force anything which you know the body will reject. This can have an adverse affect and ruin the vision you have for healthy weight loss.
