======================================
The Missing Link in Fitness and Weight Loss
======================================
There's one thing, more than anything else that keeps people from
achieving their weight loss and fitness goals...
and it's something that plagues so many people yet is rarely
discussed... it's what I call "Mental Fitness"...
Here's what I mean by mental fitness...
Many people fail to achieve their goals because:
- they don't believe in themselves
- they think about how hard it will be rather than the end result
- their goal seems unattainable so they don't even bother trying
- they sabotage themselves unknowingly because they fear success
It's saddening to me to see how many people live their lives doubting
themselves and never go after their dreams because they don't realize
how great they are and how powerful they are...
If you haven't already, grab a copy of my friend Mike's FREE CD
"Greatness Held Hostage":
http://www.achieve-fitness.com/greatness.htm
I honestly can't tell you how much my life has changed after listening
to this cd...
don't care how fit you are or how out of shape you are, after you listen
to this cd you will be a different person... I am.
In order to achieve your fitness goals, or any goals for that matter
you must:
1. Have a specific goal with a deadline
2. Believe in yourself
3. Want it so bad that you will do what it takes
4. Take Action
There you have it... sounds simple, maybe too easy, but the formula for
achieving goals...
A good friend of mine, Jeremy Likness who is also a personal trainer,
put together a great audio program that you need to listen to...
He's one of the few that "get it" and focus on not just the physical
aspect to fitness and weight loss, but also the mental aspect which
in my opinion is by far the most important and for many people, the
hardest...

Ok, now let's talk about carbs...
Simple carbohydrates cause a rapid increase in blood glucose, typically
leading to an over-production of insulin. When simple carbohydrates are
consumed in large quantities, the blood gets
so full of insulin that blood glucose levels start to drop.
In other words, a sugar high is soon followed by a sugar crash or a drop
in energy.
Another problem with consuming too many simple carbohydrates and having
elevated glucose and insulin levels is the effect on the body's fat
cells. Fat cells act as storage spaces for body fat.
When we increase body fat stores, our
fat cells increase in size. When insulin and glucose levels are
elevated, fat release decreases and fat storage increases, resulting in
larger fat cells.
This is why there are very few simple carbohydrates suggested in the GHF
Customized Diet Meal Plan.
The simple carbohydrates, monosaccharides and disaccharides, make up
sugars and other sweet-tasting substances. Each has three forms of
sugars. The monosaccharides consist of glucose,
fructose, and galactose, while the disaccharides consist of maltose,
sucrose, and lactose.
These sugars add sweetness to food, which makes it appetizing. Moderate
consumption of sugar, about 5-10% of total food intake, is not in any
way dangerous to healthy human beings. However,
it can make fat loss a more difficult task and can be associated with
many other factors that are harmful: obesity, the displacement of needed
nutrients, and tooth decay. And most simple carbohydrates contain
insubstantial amounts of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
This is why candy, soda, cakes, and cookies are often called "empty
calories," calories with little or no nutritional value.
It is important to recognize that all caloric sweeteners including
fructose, honey, and many others are sugars too. The sugar amount may or
may not be revealed in a food products ingredient list. But if you look
at the ingredients, and one of the many forms of sugar is the first
ingredient, you'll know that this is the primary substance in that
product and thus does not provide a good source of nutrition.
Also, be on the look out for several different forms of sugar listed
separately, such as cornstarch, sucrose, and high-fructose corn syrup.
Also note that even though sugar is the main ingredient of the product,
it may not appear first or even second on the ingredient label. Rather
it may be included several times throughout the list in different forms.
The following is a list of other forms of sugars that you should be
aware of when reading labels: brown sugar, confectioners sugar, corn
sweeteners, turbinado, raw or white sugar, molasses, maple sugar,
maltose, levulose, lactose, invert sugar, honey, high-fructose corn
syrup, granulated sugar, fructose, galactose, glucose, and dextrose.
A diet lower in sugars and higher in complex carbohydrates, fiber, and
protein is almost always lower in fat, lower in calories, higher in
energy, and higher in vitamins and minerals. These factors, working
together, contribute to a lower rate of obesity, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, cancer, and tooth decay.
