Protandim is the only supplement clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by an average 40%, slowing down the cell aging process to the level of a 20 year-old.* While conventional or direct antioxidants can neutralize only one free radical molecule, Protandim triggers the creation of enzymes that can each eliminate over a million free radical molecules per second without being used up.

• Bodyweight x 15 = calories per day
  (calories per day x 0.4) / 4 = grams of carbs/day
  (calories per day x 0.4) / 4 = grams of protein/day
  (calories per day x 0.2) / 9 = grams of good fats/day
  Total grams of protein per day divided by 6. If the amount of protein is larger than 50 grams per meal, then divide by 7 to make the protein amount per meal more bearable. In this case, you will need to consume 7 meals per day.
  While there is conflicting research on the value of eliminating starches after 7pm, I tend to assume that there is some value in it, so what I do is that after 7pm I have no more starchy carbs, unless I have one of those days where 7pm is when I train, in which case, I do have starches for my post workout meal.Having said that, the first thing I want you to do is to take the total amounts of carbs that you will consume per day and deduct 30 grams from that. Why? Because I want you to allocate a minimum of 30 grams of your total carb daily allowance to fibrous sources.

  Fibrous carbs not only help reduce appetite, but also increase your metabolism by virtue of the fact that it takes the body more calories to digest them than what the caloric value of these carbs is. So for instance, at 30 grams of these carbs per day you are looking to take in 120 calories from fibrous sources. Believe it or not, you body may burn 150 calories just to digest them so by eating these carbs you burned an extra 20 calories per day, which at the end of the Week adds up to 140 calories burned!

  As my diet gets more intense, I find myself substituting starchy carbs by fibrous ones and eating up to 90 grams of carbs from fibrous sources per day. In addition, fibrous carbs aid in the digestion of protein, so please do not neglect them as you will achieve better results by eating them.

  When can you eat your fibrous carbs? You can either choose to have them at every meal or you can choose to have them in the later meals, or split between your noon-time meal (meal 3) and your later afternoon meal (meal 5). It’s up to you. The remainder of the carbs will be starchy complex carbs.

  Now that you know what your total number for starchy carbs per day is, if you have 5 meals per day then divide that number by 4. If you have 6 meals per day, divide the number by 5. If you have 7 or eight meals per day, divide that number by 6. In this manner, all of your starches fall before 7pm.

  Now, like I said, if you workout at 7pm, then make sure that you have starches for the post workout meal. In this case, just move one of the starch free meals before your workout. By the way, typically what I do for convenience purposes is that I use these starch free meals to get the bulk of my vegetables in.

  Now, “Where are the fruits?” you say. Since we are concentrating on fat loss, our choice of carbs will be geared towards low glycemic complex carbs and fibrous carbs. While fruits are very healthy, the fructose in them slow down fat loss so they are better left for bulk up periods.

  This will give you the number of tablespoons of fat that you need to add to your diet. However, let’s recall that there are incidental, naturally occurring, fats that are found in clean items like oatmeal, skinless chicken, lean meats, etc. Therefore, eliminate one tablespoon from your number if the number is larger than 2. Otherwise, eliminate just half a tablespoon.So for instance, if your formula indicates that you need 2.5 tablespoons of fats, then take one tablespoon out to adjust for the naturally occurring ones and that will yield 1.5 tablespoons. If on the other hand, your formula indicates to take 1.5 tablespoons, only reduce by half a tablespoon, thus yielding a value of 1.

  When do you consume these fats? I like to consume them on my starch free meals. Again, there is conflicting research as to whether fats and carbs can be consumed in the same meal. Because the jury is still out on that, I err on the side of caution and assume that they can only be consumed when the carbohydrates on the meal come only from fibrous sources. As a result, have your fats with your fibrous carb (starch free) meals. I like to take in no more than 1.5 tablespoons in one sitting so split your fats accordingly.

  • • Chicken 3.5 oz: 33 grams
    • Turkey 3.5 oz: 28 grams
    • Top Round Sirloin 4 oz: 35 grams
    • Egg Whites (10 egg whites): 35 grams
    • Tuna 3.5 oz: 35 grams
    • Salmon 3.5 oz: 31 grams
    • Grouper 3.5 oz: 31 grams
    • Red Snapper 3.5 oz: 31 grams
    • Whey protein 1 scoop: between 20 to 25 grams depending on product chosen.

  Since now you know how much protein you need, below you will find a list of the approved protein sources and the protein provided per serving (weighted before cooking):Protein Sources

  • • Oatmeal (1/2 cup measured dry=27 grams of carbs)
    • Grits (1/2 cup measured dry=27 grams of carbs)
    • Potatoes (4 oz=28 grams)
    • Sweet Potatoes (4oz=28 grams)
    • Brown Rice (2/3 cup measured cooked=30 grams of carbs)
    For fibrous vegetables, concentrate on green beans and broccoli for the brunt of your fibrous intake and add to it lettuce, green peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms, artichokes, zucchini, and asparagus.Typically, 5 ounces of green beans or broccoli yield around 13 grams of fibrous carbs. The rest of the fibrous sources presented here, require a pretty large amount to yield anything significant so what I do is that I concentrate on the green beans and broccoli for my main fibrous sources and then use the rest of the veggies as a supplementary addition.

  This is the easy part. For the starchy carbs, concentrate on slow released type like the ones below:Starchy Carbohydrate Sources

  Fibrous Carbohydrate Sources

  Evenly divide the fats between canned extra virgin olive oil (1 tablespoon = 14 grams of fat) and flax seed oil (1 tablespoon = 14 grams of fat). If you have a serving of wild salmon, then you can eliminate the flax oil for that day as salmon is a very good source of Omega 3s.
  Note: Charts are provided for 5 meal, 6 meal, 7 meal and 8 meal scenarios. Charts assume that training happens before 7pm but if not, as explained above, just have a non starchy carb meal 1-2 hours before the workout and have the starchy carb meal afterwards.Also, I split the fibrous carbs in two meals (one at mid day and another closer to night time) but you can change that if you’d like as explained above. Finally, meal times can be moved as long as they are spaced 2 to 3 hours apart.

How are faith and fitness connected?

For me, it starts with who I believe God is. Over and over he is called our strength, our sustainer, our rock, refuge, he is called the great physician and one of my personal favorites:

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the
strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalms 73:26 )

You see, it doesn’t say that he will GIVE us the strength of our hearts and give us our portions, it says that HE is those things.

Strength for what? Do I think that God is why I love weight lifting? Well, not directly, but he is my strength. I go to him when I am run down, tired, emotionally (and yes physically) and he renews me. I read his words, meditate on who he is, talk with him and ask him to help me do what I should –and he strengthens me.

Am I still tired? Needing sleep and motivation?
Of Course!!

But the days when I don’t feel strong and yet I get through, sometimes better than I could have imagined, I know he was my strength, I didn’t do it on my own.

He is a refuge too, which is what? A place of shelter, relief, and aid. I run to him when I need to rest!!

We ALL know just HOW important rest is to athletes! What if we had no rest days and had to keep adding miles and miles daily? We would breakdown and not be able to workout, run or bike anymore! Our bodies would fall apart from injury, fatigue and overuse if we had no rest, no refuge.

When the world is moving too fast, when the people are relentless and the problems that are hurled at us are too many we can take our rest day and find rest in him. We can bring all our sadness, our frustration and pain and say, “Here, take this! I can’t handle it and I don’t want to try!” And he will. Stop right now and think about your life and about eternity. What matters?

God and People.

Think on that as you find your rest in him and pass along all your worry. You will find that refocusing your perspective will rejuvenate, encourage and build you up, just like a fitness rest day puts a bounce back in our step. Having a resting place and rest day is vital to our getting through and not just barely, but getting through as WINNERS in this race! Those are a few thoughts on who God is and why he is a part of my daily life and workouts. Being my strength spiritually bleeds right over into being the strength of my life and my heart. There is more of course, this is that tip of the iceberg–but I have to save some for ya!

For me, the ideals in my faith and my fitness are deeply intertwined. The values and goals I have in fitness come from a deeper place and have a deeper meaning in the journey of my life. I am encouraged every time I write about what I experience and every time I strive farther, harder or even have to start over. I know that my provider, my rock and my strength is standing at the finish line waiting for me cheering me on and THAT is what keeps me going.

I have a really sweet personal training studio set up and plan to RE-launch FIT 4 EXCELLENCE TRAINING!
