Let’s Make it Happen…GOALS!
Feb 1, 2012 Uncategorized
Pro-Fans!
Its been a while since I have written something for my blog … but here we go.
January came and went, and many people have made it their resolution/goal to workout, eat healthy, and enjoy life more. I hope we were all honest with ourselves and kept the goal achievable. I see it in my gym, usually the first couple of weeks my gym is packed to the point where I say to myself this won’t last! This year has been different … a lot more people have joined for different reasons and are sticking to it! Here are a few questions I have been getting:
I’m trying to lose weight/get leaner how do I go about it?
The one thing I recommend is planning your week out to do cardio and preparation of your meals in advance. Don’t let “I don’t have time to do cardio” or “I don’t have time to cook” be an excuse because what you’re doing is cheating yourself. Once you get in a groove of doing this in repetition mode you’ll see that you’ll do it without thinking at times. Then it becomes a normal habit and a healthy one.
What do I eat to get leaner?
Common sense is definitely a big plus. You have no idea how many times I get the question, “Can I still have my sweets?” NO, my trainer doesn’t say to me, “Sure Doug, eat your sweets because that will get you to your goal faster.”
Protein: Eat your basic egg whites, chicken, tuna, fish, and beef in many different styles of servings.
Carbs: Oatmeal, potatoes, sweet potatoes, greens, whole wheat bread, and much much more!
Diet doesn’t mean you have to fear eating. Mix it up, this is where you can add spices and get creative with healthy meals.
Which supplements should I take?
There are many supplements out there to take. I’ll give some examples of which ones that have worked well with many people I hear from:
Ultimate Definition Stack http://bit.ly/bOtY6T
Elite Diet Support Stack http://bit.ly/9kpE0D
Brand New Zycor http://bit.ly/AaIMsf
You can even try this stack: 7 keto http://bit.ly/f3BgzJ, CLA and Betastax http://bit.ly/zExBWF
Remember! These supplements will work and complement your diet if you stick to a regimen or workout plan.
Can I still get bigger while cutting up?
This is the question I get after, “How do I (or can I) lose weight?”
You have to remember when losing weight you may be lowering the caloric / carbs intake that you normally have when bulking up, BUT it is still possible to maintain the illusion that you have grown due to getting rid of the body fat. YES you can. Here’s a few suggestions you can take to cut and to add muscle to your physique:
Elite Diet Support Stack http://bit.ly/9kpE0D
Forslean http://bit.ly/lspsrx
AndroCept http://bit.ly/hm6nQO
In studies, carnitine has helped with fat loss and promotes growth!
Remember Pro-Fans to keep focused and you will get to your goal. The only person in your way can sometimes be YOU … NO ONE ELSE. When you point the finger as an excuse the thumb is always pointing back at you. January may have been a time to reflect on what you promised yourself but make February the month to actually hit it hard with your workouts/diet/discipline.

Dinnertime!
Jun 27, 2011 Uncategorized
Hey ProSource fans,
Keep all those recipes coming in and help all of us reach our goals for daily eating. The next meal we’ll address is the 5th meal. For many of us, this is the dinner time meal and having your regular chicken/beef/tuna with your complex carbs such as brown rice, baked potato, and greens is ideal. This meal is very important in that it’s one of the last “food” meals we’ll have for the day, and we have to make this clean as possible. This is the time we all tend to wind down and for many this is the time we have to be wary of. We have to watch because we can put on unwanted weight. The night time is one of the worst time for many, including myself, so being strict is the name of the game.

4th Meal Tips and Advice
Jun 13, 2011 General Health & Fitness, Training Tips
Hey ProSource Fans,
So we have talked about breakfast, the 2nd meal, and lunch. Let me mention the 4th meal, in which normally I use NytroWhey Ultra. Along with that I will either have a half cup of oats and/or a tablespoon of peanut butter. Now, the 2nd meal and the 4th meal are very important (which every meal is), but they are also the ones that help you intake protein while not giving you much time elapsed without eating. The one main purpose of eating every two to three hours is keeping your muscles from breaking down.
Now the meals you can have are just about anything, but remember its supposed to be a snack-like meal where you can take in 20-30 grams of protein. Don’t be afraid to eat some complex carbs, you can absolutely eat fruits and veggies but make sure you are getting protein in the meals you are eating. This can be used for anyone who is looking to put size on or even lean up.
Here are some lunch ideas to give you some variety:
If you are Cutting, try this:
Tuna with some greens
Or check out this recipe for YOGURT POPS
If you are Maintaining, try this:
Chicken, brown rice and an apple
Or check out this recipe for GUILTLESS GUAC
If you are Bulking, try this snack:
NytroWhey, oat meal and 1 tbsp peanut butter
Or check out this recipe for BANANA MAPLE PROTEIN WRAPS

Hey ProSource fans,
So far we have talked about Breakfast and the second meal of the day. Today lets talk about lunch and ways to make healthy eating much more tasteful and enjoyable while dieting.
Sometimes diet food becomes bland and sometimes we tend to get sick of it and indulge in our guilty pleasures in moments of weakness. Just remember why you diet, remember why you have made healthy eating a part of your lifestyle.

Mid Morning Snack Recipes for Growth or Cutting
May 23, 2011 General Health & Fitness, Health News, Success Stories, Training Tips
ProSource.net fans,
Last blog I talked about breakfast meals and how to mix and match them. This time around we’re going to talk about the importance of the meals between breakfast and lunch. It’s important to feed our bodies with “snacks” considered as a meal. In doing so, it gives the body extra energy and the protein/carbs our body needs to function throughout the day.
This also helps us put size on and or can help lean the body down. Of course there are different meals to eat that will help with what you are looking for, but it is important to have a snack. Eating every 2 hrs is what I do, and you should absolutely give it a shot. Or you can do every 3 hrs. This has many effects on the body. One, it speeds up your metabolism, helping with cutting body fat and building muscle. I get asked all the time … what should I do to help lose weight or gain weight? Well, this is part of the answer. Mix up the meals that way you keep it fresh too. Hope this helps, fans!
Here are some snack ideas to give you some variety:
If you are Cutting, try this snack:
Can of tuna (in water) with Vinegar
Or check out this recipe for a BERRY SMOOTHIE WITH ANTIOXIDANTS
If you are Maintaining, try this snack:
Salad with oz raisins, 1 oz almond nuts
Or check out this recipe for PROTEIN PACKED PUDDING
If you are Bulking, try this snack:
1-2 scoops protein, 1 oz almond nuts or teaspoon of natural peanut butter, 1-2 rice cakes
Or check out this recipe for PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
