By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS www.TurbulenceTraining.com You can’t boost your metabolism with supplements. Or at least not enough to cause weight loss. This is hope in a bottle, but this hope doesn’t stand a chance. It doesn’t work. One misconception is that caffeine boosts your metabolism, but I’ve also heard that fish oil, protein, CLA, and green [...]
I’m not gonna go into some long, exhaustive tirade on whether you should buy Vince DelMonte’s “Your Six Pack Quest” today. ==> Sneaky Ninja Link To Vince’s Site The reason: I haven’t reviewed it… like… in… NO WAY shape or form. So I can’t, in good faith, tell you to go pick it up. BUT… I do know how [...]
The current diet dogma is totally confusing. Contradictory headlines come out on a daily basis, you’ve heard them all; “carbs are good, carbs are bad”, “eat low fat, eat healthy fats”, “count your calories, don’t count calories”, “high protein, 40/30/30”. It’s no wonder nobody has a clue what to eat anymore. This is all [...]

A news media feeding frenzy erupted recently when a new diet study broke in the New England Journal of Medicine… … and almost all the reporters got it wrong, wrong ‘WRONG!’ (So did most of the gloating low carb forumites and bloggers.) Come to think of, almost everyone interpreted this study wrong. Some valuable insights came out of [...]

(Check out Vince’s No Nonsense Muscle Building when you get a chance… it’s pretty strong) Could you teach me how to gain muscle fast? Could you teach me how to pack on an extra ten to fifteen pounds of muscle mass before my next vacation? Could you help me get ready for my first bodybuilding [...]

(Here’s a great post by Tom Venuto… the author of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle… Tom always has a great outlook on things.) Fat burner supplements are advertised everywhere these days - on the internet, in magazines and even on TV. The ads almost always feature a very lean fitness model or bodybuilder and claim [...]

Here’s an email that I got today about the new launch of Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training For Abs: Hey Brad, You’ll never have to do another useless crunch on a stinky, sweaty dirty gym mat or hotel room floor EVER again! …because Men’s Health expert, Craig Ballantyne, has just released his new CRUNCH-FREE Home Abdominal Workout program. But [...]

Check out this article… It talks about the differences between calories from carbs and calories from fats and how they relate to people gaining or losing weight.

Here’s a video by Craig Ballantyne showing you his favorite 6 pack ab movements… then… check out the CRAZY abs this one cat has in the video below… Sick… … seriously.
I saw this video on YouTube and felt like commenting on it. You see, not only have I read BP’s Eat Stop Eat… but I’ve read the research and seen the studies. As long as you are weight training, you will not lose significant muscle mass while engaging in short term fasting. In fact, here was my [...]

Mike Geary might just be on to something here. Now… I’ve heard time and time again that the elliptical machine is a worthless exercise… but the treadmill TOO?!? We’ve got to see what’s going on here… I know that all of the elliptical and treadmill worshipers are probably fuming at me now after that article headline, but [...]

As a little continuation from yesterday’s article… today, we’ll let Brad Pilon go over the amazing way of conserving muscle while dieting. Naturally, if you’re only doing steady state cardio right now… you REALLY should read this. As you can imagine, after writing a book about fasting for weight loss, I’ve had an amazing amount of [...]
Tom Venuto’s been around the block… for lack of a better term. His Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle program is based on bodybuilder style nutrition program that flat out gets results from most people that embark on his journey. Granted, there may be “sleeker” and “more hip” programs out there… but this one has a [...]

Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training is very QUICKLY becoming a best seller on the internet. His anti-cardio movement resonates well with almost all men and women… and his trademarked quick… yet challenging program gets results.

It seems like most men tend to wonder about this. After all, with all of the steroids and supplement crap out there that’s being pushed by industry… you’d think that anyone could be a 300 lb monster. Not so says John Barban. Of course, the next question is… why would you want to [...]
