The TRUTH About Carbs, Blood Sugar & Fat Loss

The TRUTH About Carbs, Blood Sugar & Fat Loss 

(Eat Your Heart Out With This 45-Second Trick)

By Joel Marion, CISSN
You've probably heard that carbohydrates are perhaps the WORST thing you can eat when trying to lose fat or transform your body, and for most people, that's 100% true.
You see, due to years of consuming a diet full of processed carbs, most people have grown VERYinsensitive to one of the most important hormones in our body—a hormone that can either be a huge asset to your body transformation goals, or a total fat loss and health-derailing nightmare.
The name of this hormone is insulin.
And it's function is to help your body keep blood sugar at bay, clear it quickly from your bloodstream after a carbohydrate meal, and (hopefully) shuttle those carbs to be stored in muscle tissue for energy instead of info fat cells, driving up your weight.
I say "hopefully" because that's actually the exact opposite of what occurs when most people eat carbs.
Going back to insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate tolerance, due to a diet full of processed, insulin- and blood-sugar-spiking carbohydrates, most folks are suffering from some level of insulin resistance, a condition in which insulin is no longer able to efficiently remove blood sugar from the blood stream.

The result? Dramatically reduced fat burning, increased blood sugar levels and increased fat storage.

Even worse, insulin resistance can (and often does) lead to type II diabetes and an array of other health problems over time, such as an increased risk for Alzheimer’s and other cognitive disorders,premature aging, heart disease, and even stroke…and it all leads back to insulin sensitivity.

Ideally, when you consume carbohydrates, here is what you want to happen:

1. Minimum insulin release. This occurs when your body is highly sensitive to insulin. When it is, only a small amount of insulin is necessary to effectively and efficiently clear sugar from your blood to its storage sites. This is great news because your body has an incredibly difficult time burning fat in the presence of insulin. The less insulin you have floating around, the better.
2. Quick and efficient blood sugar clearance. Again, this will occur when your body is highly sensitive to insulin.
3. Maximum glycogen uptake. Glycogen is the term used for stored carbohydrate in muscle tissue and the liver. When these tissues are highly sensitive to insulin, the vast majority of blood sugar will be stored within them as an energy reserve, instead of being converted to fat.
4. Minimum fat storage. When you increase insulin sensitivity, your body will choose to store your carbohydrate intake as energy, again in lean muscle tissue and the liver, instead of body fat.
Again, your body's ability to tolerate carbohydrates all comes down to your insulin sensitivity and your body's ability to quickly and efficiently shuttle carbohydrates to lean tissue and not fat.

So how can you increase insulin sensitivity?

Well, you could go completely low-carb for an extended period of time in an attempt to repair your insulin receptors and increase insulin sensitivity. But for most, that's a rather dreadful option and even then you'd need to very slowly reintroduce carbohydrates back in to your diet to avoid massive fat gain.
No thanks.
Fortunately, you DON'T need to go low-carb or no-carb… at all.
In fact, many times you can enjoy even MORE carbohydrates than you currently are while losing even more fat when you utilize this one simple trick:
SUPERCHARGE your insulin sensitivity before each carbohydrate-containing meal in just a few seconds with the below 5 ingredients – each of which has been clinically shown to dramatically improve both insulin sensitivity and your body's ability to process carbs.
Here they are:
  1. #1. Cinnamomum Burmannii, a potent extract harvested from Indonesian cinnamon bark that has been shown to effectively assist in managing blood sugar after a carbohydrate-rich meal while increasing your body's ability to process the carbohydrates you eat by up to 10 fold!
  2. #2. Berberine. This rare plant alkaloid has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine in India. Berberine works slightly different by improving the signaling between insulin and its associated receptors while also increasing carb uptake by lean muscle for energy, not fat.
  3. #3. Pterocarpus Marsupium is another all-natural herbal remedy used by Ayurvedic physicians in India.  In fact, Pterocarpus Marsupium is so effective that it was shown in a recentIndian Journal of Medical Research study to reduce blood sugar levels 2 hours after a meal by a whopping 21%.
  4. #4. 4-hydroxyisoleucine, a natural phytochemical extracted from the Fenugreek herb harvested in the remote regions of Eastern India, has been scientifically shown to increase carbohydrate storage in muscle cells while decreasing carbohydrate fat storage through the sensitizing of insulin receptors in muscle tissue.4-hydroxyisoleucine has also been shown to interfere with the process by which the body converts muscle protein to sugar for energy. This encourages fat loss (instead of muscle break down) and aids in the retention of calorie-burning lean muscle as you lose fat.  This is great news because the more lean muscle you hold on to as you diet, the more calories your body naturally burns without any extra effort on your part
  5. #5 - R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA). Alpha Lipoic Acid is a naturally occuring fatty acid made up of two isomers, S-ALA and R-ALA, of which the R isomer has been shown to be significantly more effective and bioavailable. In fact, R-ALA is clinically proven to increase insulin sensitivity by an impressive 25% in just 4 weeks and is so powerful at managing blood sugar that it's even used by German doctors for the treatment of various nervous system conditions caused by high blood sugar.
Now, while you could try to locate all of the above ingredients individually, research the actual extracts of each that yield the positive carbohydrate tolerance effects mentioned above, purchase them all separately and pay shipping on each, then sort through study after study to determine the scientific dose of those extracts, the good news is that we already did ALL that for you at BioTrust Nutrition and put it in to one scientifically-backed, lab-tested, ultra-convenient product called IC-5™.
Just take 2 capsules prior to any carb-containing meal and let SCIENCE do the rest.
Simply put, IC-5™ is the most advanced insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate management formula available anywhere.
If you're eating carbs—and you should be—you should be using IC-5™...if not, you are without a doubt missing out on the sizable fat loss benefits that come along with increased insulin sensitivity and improved carbohydrate tolerance.

IC-5 3 bottles

The #1 Bodyweight exercise

Hey Everyone

Rafael Moret here with a cool new program
Most experts agree that this exercise is the BEST exercise of all time.

But...

It's not a pushup.
It's not a squat.
It's not a sit-up, either.

It's WAY more than that...

More bang for your exercise buck, that's what gets dramatic results
faster, right?

So if you had to do ONE exercise to get you fit and looking
fantastic in record time, what would it be?

According to the chairman of the Department of Kinesiology at
McMaster University in Hamilton Ontario, when asked his opinion on
the single best exercise, he suggested the burpee because it "It
builds muscles AND it builds endurance."

It's a 3 for 1 exercise that only takes 3 seconds to perform.
You'll hit the upper body, lower body, core and cardiovascular
system all within that 3-second window.

But did you know there is more than ONE way to do burpees?

Discover ALL of the burpee variations here

No matter which one you use, nothing is more efficient for
fat loss.

The fact that you need NO equipment and can do burpees pretty
much anywhere are added bonuses.

And in my friend Shawna K's new Challenge Burpee program, you'll
get a done-for-you fat loss workout system that uses this
best exercise ever.

You'll find 21 workouts with burpees and combinations that
you've never done before. You'll be challenged to push your fitness
levels and the 'happy coincidence' whenever you consistently
challenge yourself is a rockin' hard body.

(Shawna is living proof! She's 50 years old but can keep up
with 20 year olds...and she even has six-pack abs.)

These are the workouts she and her most successful clients use

Shawna will also let you in on her insider secrets on how to get
the most from each move inside her coaching videos that come with
the workouts, too.

This ensures that your exercise form is perfect, will maximize your
results and keep you injury free. For much less than a buck a
workout, you're really getting 'bang for your buck' in more ways
than one.

You'll also want to try her 500 and 1000 Rep Workout Bonuses to
really boost your fitness and fat burning.

Discover how to use the best exercise of all time to get ripped 

Join the 3 for 1 exercise movement!

Thank You

3 Best Dynamic Bodyweight Ab Exercises

Hey Everyone

Rafael here with a GUEST POST

 You want my best exercises?
That’s what you’re going to get in a series of new articles dedicated to the TOP moves for each body part.
We’re going to start with the 3 best dynamic bodyweight ab exercises. No weights needed. I’ve even put them all together in one circuit in my latest and greatest fat burning program (you’ll see them from 2B-2D in bold).
Here’s the workout, called #RiseandGrind:
Day 3 – Workout B – #riseandgrind
Start with the general bodyweight warm-up circuit.
Specific Warm-up Sets:
  • Do 1A with 50% of normal weight for 8 reps.
  • Do 1B and 1C for 3 reps each.
Rest only where stated.
1A) Deadlift – 20 reps (2-0-1-0)
1B) Prisoner Squat Jump – 6 reps
1C) Pike Pushup – Max Reps (2-0-1-0)
Rest 30 seconds and repeat 2 more times.
2A) Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squat – 15 to 25 reps per side (1-0-1-0)
2B) X-Body Mountain Climber – 20 reps per side (1-0-1-0)
2C) Power Wheel Rollout or Stability Ball Rollout – 20 reps (3-0-1-0)
2D) Stability Ball Jackknife – 20 reps (1-0-1-0)
Rest 30 seconds and repeat 2 more times.
Then you’ll finish with a Metabolic Conditioning circuit (only found in the TT Grindhouse manual deal here).
Why are those the 3 best bodyweight ab exercises?
Well, first, for beginners, you still need to master the Plank, Side Plank, and Bird Dog exercises. Those are the 3 best ab moves if you are just starting out. You need to be able to hold a Plank for 2 minutes straight, and a Side Plank for 60 seconds on each side. If you can’t pass both of those tests, spend more time on the basics.
But if you are ready to hit your six-pack abs even harder, we want to go with the “Stretch & Contract” system found in my top 3 dynamic ab moves.
First, the best of the 3 is the Rollout move. You stretch your abs on the way out, and contract them hard to return to the start position. But unlike with sit-ups and crunches, you do NOT round your low back – and therefore you protect your low back from injury.
But to add a twist to this circuit, I put the Rollout second in order. We’ll pre-fatigue the abs with high-rep X-Body Mountain Climbers that work your abs in stability (like a Plank) and your obliques with the cross-body movement of your knee.
To make that move even harder, you can put your feet on a ball or in TRX straps. You might need to do fewer reps if you use the advanced version.
Finally, we close out the circuit with the Stability Ball (or TRX) Jackknife. Your abs are stretched out in the plank position, and then you contract from the lower portion of your abs to bring your knees to your chest.
Those 3 ab exercises go to together like peanut butter and jelly and ice cream (what, ice cream goes amazing with ANYTHING – okay, what “those 3 ab exercises go together like pancakes, butter, and real maple syrup <= at leastMikey Whitfield will like that one!).
The X-Body hits the obliques.

The Rollout hits the six-pack with the Stretch & Contract system.
The Jackknife works from lower abs up to the top.
Boom goes the six-pack dynamite!
You’ll love that circuit.

The Cardio Machine that Sucks

Hey Everyone

Rafael here and I have a GUEST post for you today...enjoy and leave us your thoughts


The Cardio Machine that Sucks 
By: Craig Ballantyne, CTT
Certified Turbulence Trainer
www.TurbulenceTraining.com


Recently, I was in Tampa, Florida, at a seminar. Between sessions, a physician from Georgia stopped me in the hall and said, "Hey Craig, you were right about those crosstrainer machines. I've had your program for a few months now and I'm getting better results with the bodyweight circuits."

It's always great to meet clients, and I was curious to find out how he heard of me. Turns out, he found me through Google, landing on an article I wrote about "how elliptical machines (crosstrainers) suck for fat loss".

That's right, I think those machines are almost a complete waste of time.
"I was using one of those machines for a long time and was wondering why I wasn't getting any results," the physician continued, "I'm so glad I found your program and now I'm using the bodyweight circuits from the Dumbell-Bodyweight Fusion Workout", he added.

I told him how I wasn't surprised. In fact, I've never personally known anyone to get great results with one of those crosstrainer machines. Now I've watched really lean people use them, but they didn't get lean with those machines.

I know some people will be angry with what I have to say because they like exercising on the crosstrainer, but the truth is that they just don't work as well as harder forms of interval training.
And hey, any time you are traveling or want a break from regular interval training workouts, you can use one of the 4 bodyweight circuits from the TT DB-BW Fusion Fat Loss program that you get as a bonus when you order the Turbulence Training fat burning workout routine.

Sorry , I have "bad" news

Hey hey

It's Wednesday...Workout Wednesday and yes I have BAD news

You are going to have to work to get the RESULTS you want...sorry


But here is the problem...you know that...you get PUMPED up and ready ready to go and then???

You stop...you quit...you need a little motivation...so I send you some of these:

  • “We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.” C. Malesherbes
  • “Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” Francis of Assisi
  • “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.” Anatole France
  • “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” Dale Carnegie
  • “Don’t let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do.” Anonymous
  • “Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing in the future.” Rabbi Nochem Kaplan
  • “High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.” Jack Kinder

  • and that get's you going...and this APPLIES to everything  ....you realize you had to keep working...but you quit again



    and I think the reason this happens...In every case and in EVERY situation is because you get fixed on where you are "supposed to be" or the results "you should have had"

    Your results...and life for that matter...is NOT a destination...it's a journey...you should enjoy the process...every step, every rep and every workout

    and you will see...it doesn't take long at all till you end up where you want...

    BOOM!

    The #BBR page will be live this afternoon or tonight...look for it


    Have a great day
