The Naked Nutrition Mindset
June 19, 2009 | 4 Comments
One thing that I have been quietly working on for the past couple months is a complete revamping of the Naked Nutrition Resources. Currently Your Naked Nutrition Guide covers diet strategies for both fat loss, health, and muscle building (even though the Packages available at NakedNutritionGuide.com are all focused on fat loss).
Your Naked Nutrition Guide will be removed from the market in the upcoming months and will be partly replaced by (updated and modified version) “Naked Nutrition: Nutrition Stripped To The Essentials” a book that will be available for sale at Amazon.com. Then as time goes on I will be releasing ’supplements’ in the form of manuals, DVDs, and multimedia eCourses to help people with specific nutrition/diet related areas. Currently two DVDs are in the final stages of production – Fat Loss: What To Do When It Stops and More Muscle Dietary Tweaks for Continuous Growth.
These DVDs will be part of the Fat Loss and Muscle Building supplements. More supplements will be released after these.
So….lots of exciting stuff coming up. But for today I wanted to share with you an excerpt from the new Naked Nutrition book. It is from the first section “The Mindset”.
==============
The day and age that we live in is all about instant gratification. Instant messaging, instant lines of credit when we go shopping, instant communication via cell phones, instant internet access from anywhere – when we want something we want it right way.
The same goes for your health and weight loss. We want to be healthy now.
“Give me a shake that I can drink and be healthy by the time I’m finished.”
We want to be lean and 30lbs lighter next week.
“Take this pill, jump up and down on this machine and you’ll be 25lbs lighter in only 7 days.”
Unfortunately, health and weight loss don’t’ work that way. In this book I will show you diet strategies that will allow you to greatly accelerate your weight loss and health but they are not instant.
Plus, instant never works. Sure you can do the Master Cleanse and only drink lemon juice with Cayenne pepper and a drop of maple syrup for 2 weeks straight and you might lose 12 lbs. But I can promise you that the weight will come right back on. Ironically everyone’s focus is on losing weight but weight loss itself isn’t that hard. There are hundreds of published studies showing different diet and exercise interventions that lead to weight loss. I’m sure you don’t need this book to show you how to lose weight as you’ve done it in the past. The missing piece to the puzzle is how lose the weight and keep it off. That is what I am going to show you how to do – Get results and keep that new you forever.
In order to do this we need to look beyond instant. Instead of an instant focus, we need a consistent focus. Whether you are seeking to build more muscle, lose bodyfat, or just improve your fitness level, the reason most people fail to attain the body they want is inconsistency over the long term. This is the difference between being the eternal yo-yo dieter and the one that everyone looks at wishing they had the dedication to stay so fit for so long.
Dietary inconsistency is commonly due to a lack of clear-cut goals and, ultimately, desires. The first step that needs to be taken is to sit down and think about where you are now and where you want to be in 4 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year. This isn’t a five minute process, so take your time, put the book down, explore your thoughts and feelings on health, physical attributes, fitness, and develop a clear picture of where you want to be 4 weeks, 6 months, and 1 years from today.
Not too long ago I taught a continuing education nutrition course and was shocked to see that none of my students could tell me what their fitness goals were. These people exercised on a regular basis, ate right, but had never really given a lot of thought to why. Why is important.
Once you have developed this image in your mind, write it down. Describe how you see yourself in every detail possible – what you look like, what it feels like, etc. Keep this paper handy and refer to it whenever you feel your drive dwindling.
Now that you have created the image in your mind of what success means to you, it is time to create concrete goals that will allow you to constantly monitor your progress. Write your goals in the present tense.
“I have ….” Not “I will….”
Changing the verbage is a little trick that you play on your mind which can make all the difference in the world. Studies have shown that the human mind cannot differentiate between what happens in the real world and the movies that you play out in your mind. Keeping your goals in the present tense gets your mind conditioned to believing that these things are already a reality.

“Naked Nutrition: Nutrition Stripped To The Essentials” will be available at Amazon.com in the Early Fall of 2009.

Knowing whether or not your fat loss program is working is an extremely important part of fast fat loss because if you know what is going on in your body you can quickly and easily makes the necessary changes. Unfortunately many people just occasionally step on the scale and make guesses at whether or not they are progressing with their fat loss at an acceptable rate.
In this video I go over the importance of using multiple units of measure and what those units should be.

Coffee & Caffeine – The Good News
January 30, 2009 | 14 Comments
It seems like coffee has a bad publicist. It is constantly getting slandered and put down while the masses hold up green tea as the be all end all of hot delicious beverages (I’m not putting down green tea – I love it). Today I just wanted to highlight some of the ways our good friend Java (and its partner in crime caffeine) improves our health and lives.
- Research from Harvard shows that increased coffee consumption and greatly reduce your risk for type two diabetes
- The antioxidants in coffee can reduce inflammation and risk for heart disease
- The antioxidants in coffee have been shown to reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (the ‘bad’ cholesterol)
- Caffeine increase dopamine levels which makes you sharper and more alert
- Caffeine increases brain activity [and reduces morning fog <--that's not a scientific finding just my observation
] - Many people shy away from regular coffee and opt for decaf thinking they are making a healthier choice but decaf coffee has significantly lower levels of antioxidants.
- Caffeine has been shown to accelerate your body’s ability to repair blood vessel walls (that’s cool).
- Coffee has been shown to reduce rick for suicide.
I bet you didn’t know that all that good stuff came from drinking coffee huh? One quick word of warning though, regarding coffee and exercise. Caffeine can reduce the blood flow to your heart during exercise so if you have heart problems skip the Java before your workout.
If you’re wondering….I drink my coffee black.
How to you take yours?
What do you think about coffee? Good/Bad?
How much do you drink?
I’d love to hear you input.
