How To Activate Your “Skinny Gene” For Easier And Longer-Lasting Weight Loss
Posted by: | CommentsIf you have ever tried to lose weight and experienced frustration and disappointment with limited results, you might start to think that there’s a hidden “missing link” somewhere in your approach that’s preventing you from achieving your weight loss goals. And you might just be right.
Over the past year since beta-testing some of the unique concepts and principles that govern our new proprietary Path Diet used in our Momentum Keepers Club Program, we’ve come to realize that there is, in fact, a way to diet and exercise that can actually activate your SIRT1 gene, which is also know as your “skinny gene”. Results from some of our successful clients has proven that there is a specific formula of both diet and exercise that can naturally activate this gene to not only inhibit fat storage but also increase your fat-burning metabolism.
What is SIRT1?
SIRT1 is a gene found in humans and other mammals that helps to promote survival by protecting cells during times when food (and therefore energy) is scarce. Scientists have discovered similar genes in almost all species, including Sir2 in yeast, worms, and fruit flies.
CLA: Is It The New Fat Loss Miracle Pill?
Posted by: | Comments
There’s a buzz going around Hollywood about a new fat loss ‘miracle pill’ that is actually made of a special fat that helps you burn more body (and belly) fat. Many celebrities are using it when they need to get in shape quickly before a movie or event. Is this true or is this a big scam?
As odd as it sounds, the “designer fat” being talked about is VERY real and VERY exciting. Here’s the story on it:
Before the recent carb-cutting craze, many experts suggested that the best way to lose fat was to stop eating fat. There are a lot of good reasons for this. For example, fat is the most calorie dense macronutrient (carbs and protein contain 4 calories per gram, while fat contains 9 calories) and cutting calories, in general, can help you battle the bulge.
BUT… many of these experts are now eating their words AND their fat because one fat, in particular, is getting a great deal of attention from researchers, scientists, and supplement experts alike. That fat is called conjugated linoleic acid - better known as CLA.

5 Rules To Beat Your Monster Cravings
Posted by: | CommentsLosing weight is hard, nobody ever said it wasn’t. You get hungry when you diet and you get hungry when you work out, and you get incredibly hungry when you do both. It is easy to justify eating anything when you feel like you are starving, you worked out and you have been eating healthy so you think it’s ok to grab that bag of chips or cookies and a soda… It’s not. Giving in to all of those cravings will not only keep you from making progress but they will set you back after all the hard work you have been putting in. We pt together five rules to help keep you one step ahead of your appetite.
Rule #1 – Set realistic goals. Don’t tell yourself you aren’t going to eat any sweets for a year. Pick a goal that you know you can accomplish. Once you hit that mark start over and challenge yourself to go just a bit longer. This lets you feel successful and it gives you the time to notice the benefits eating healthy has on your body.
9 Ways To Lose Weight While You Eat
Posted by: | CommentsIf you’ve ever taken a moment to watch how other people eat, you may be surprised at what you see.
I have found that most people don’t eat… they shovel their food in and are often totally unaware of what they’re doing or lack the skills to enjoy the eating experience. This leads to bulk overeating, improper digestion, and unnecessary weight gain.
Here are 9 tips for improving your “eating etiquette” that will even help you lose weight:
1. Stop rushing to eat. Set aside more time for eating, for shopping and preparation. Stop rushing to fast food places because it’s convenient. Instead, make time, and take things a bit slower.
2. Prepare your own meals. I know, who has the time? You do. Make the time, and cook simple meals without a lot of ingredients or preparation time. It takes 10 minutes to whip together a healthy and tasty lunch or dinner. And it can be a lot of fun (get the family or your partner involved). Preparing your own meals is healthier, frugal, and you know you’re eating good food.
