DETOX YOUR BODY IN 7 DAYS!!!
I just finished a cleansing program, and I am feeling better then ever! The meals were delicious, and these supplements allowed me to do this as naturally and efficiently as possible. This seven-day plan will cleanse your body so that you can more easily shred unwanted body fat and increase lean muscle mass.
Use the following supplements as directed:
Multivitamin Choose a high-potency multivitamin with selenium, molybdenum and zinc. I prefer raw food multivitamins, because they break down easier and won't give you any stomach problems.
Choline and Methionine Choline and Methionine are known as lipotropic factors, meaning these supplements will regulate fat metabolism and increase the flow of bile.
Vitamin C A water-soluble vitamin, vitamin C aids in detoxification. It also helps to decrease some of the potential side effects of cleansing your body, such as headache or nausea.
Milk Thistle This herb has many positive effects on the liver. It is an antioxidant, assists in liver cell regeneration, and is particularly useful if you have there has been excess alcohol or fat consumption.
Artichokes These plant compounds are known as caffeoylquinic acids. These acids increase the flow of bile and help to digest fats.
Beets The main nutrient in beets is betaine. This promotes the regeneration of liver cells and the flow of bile, while simultaneously having a beneficial effect on fat metabolism.
Broccoli Broccoli and other members of the brassica family that include: cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale and kohlrabi, support the liver's detoxification enzymes.
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Food sources of vitamin C and glutathione, which are essential for detox.
Protein Protein is required by the liver for detox. Beans, nuts, seeds, quinoa, protein powder. Some people may choose to eat fish in moderation.
Onions and Garlic Onions and Garlic are rich in sulfur-containing compounds, which will lead to the process of sulfication. Sulfication is the main detoxification pathway for environmental chemicals and certain drugs, food additives, etc. These foods are also very helpful with the elimination of harmful heavy metals from your blood stream.
Dandelion Root Dandelion roots helps to remove excess water weight from the body while simultaneously increasing the flow of bile.
JUICING FOR A HEALHIER BODY! If you are new to juicing try the Apple, Carrot, Ginger and Spinach. These smoothies are very tasty and a good place to start if you have never tried juicing. There are endless possibilities here so have fun with it!
APPLE, CARROT, GINGER AND SPINACH. This can be made in any basic fruit & vegetable juicer. - 8 Medium Carrots - 2 Apples (I prefer Royal Gala or Braeburn) - Slice of root Ginger (to taste) - I head of spinach

I will also include an exercise program for you to follow while on your cleanse; as well a strength training plan customized to your particular goals for FREE!
MASTERY, the path less taken…
I hope April has been a great month for all of you and that May is even better! A lot of great things have happened in April, and I want to share a story with all of you.
This is personally my craziest time of the year. I am prepping for cover shoots in June, taking classes, running my business, and not to mention relationships with the family and girlfriend. Anyhow, I was feeling like I was hitting a solid plateau with my training at the end of my bulk and started to get very frustrated…
Luckily, I was assigned to read the book Mastery by: George Leonard for my acting class. This book offers the keys to success and long-term fulfillment. Sounds simple right?
So I began to read the book, little did I know these pages would change the way I looked at the world. The concepts that increased my awareness are: 1) To truly master something you must spend the majority of your time on a plateau. 2) Enjoy the simplicity of life.
In way of loving the plateau, how do we do this? After all we have been taught in countless ways to value the product, the prize, the climatic moment. But even after we've just caught the winning pass in the Super Bowl, there is always tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow. Some people progress rapidly so they can ignore the small plateaus in the beginning of accomplishing a new task. On the other hand you have a dabbler, who loves the idea of starting a new task, i.e.: buying new gear and equipment, yet never follows through the mission itself. So for this to work you must accept that at sometime point, even a few years sometimes, you are bound to hit a formidable plateau.
However, like many of us I was blinded by the illusion of instant gratification. This lack of gratitude leads to an unfilled life, where one feels hollow and no amount of money, fame, or material possessions will make them happy. So instead of being a victim of materialism understand that true happiness lies in the appreciation for the simplicity of life.
One example in the book is that when the author achieved the rank of fourth degree black belt his master made him repeat the same move for 2 hours straight. After 30 minutes, he became very bored and complained to his master with no avail. Suddenly, for the last 30 minutes he goes into a trance like state where he notices every little detail of the move and appreciated the simplicity of the move and owned it like never before imagined.
So don't try to find a shortcut that will leave you feeling restless and unsatisfied. Know that you must keep working hard and diligently to experience what is seemingly no progress. As time goes on you will spend more time on the plateau then on the rise. But if you put enough thought, labor, love, and diligent work you are guaranteed to experience the epiphanies that are staggered between your plateaus insuring your success!
