Benefits of Fish Oil

What is Fishoil? Benefits of Fish oil on weight loss I believe that Fishoil is one of the most important supplements you can purchase. There a so many different supplements out there but fish oil is by far one of the best. So what exactly is fish oil? Well fish oil is derived from the tissue of fatty fish (such as: salmon, tuna, trout, sardines, herring, etc). Fish oil contains Omega 3 fatty acids called EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which are essential to the human bodies. When something is essential it means our bodies can not manufacture them. So Fish oil supplements come in handy for someone who does not consume enough deep water fatty fish. The Two most important benefits of Fishoil on weight loss/muscle gain - Decreases your body’s insulin response to food - Aids in Muscle Protein Synthesis ( your bodies system for signaling to aid muscle) Fish oil may help you lose fat faster! In addition to that it will also help control insulin levels in your body. Fish oil will also help you add muscle much faster. In recent research study it has been shown that taking around 3 grams of EPA and DHA per day (fish oil) helps to increase muscle protein synthesis within the muscle cells, which will help you add more muscle. How does fish oil work? Without getting to scientific on you fish oils or EPA/DHA play an important role on our cell membranes. Our cell membranes are made up of fat which holds transport proteins. Every cell in our body has these membranes. Our muscles and yes even our fat tissue have these membranes. Our muscles and fat tissues have satellite receptor cells which basically are doors to our cell membranes that let insulin in. The less bodyfat we have the more effective our body is at bringing insulin to our muscles for use as oppose to our fat tissues. However the opposite is also true, in a higher bodyfat leveled person (Men>15%, women>25%) their satellite cells on their muscle tissues are clogged up (inflammation makers) so our body shuttles the insulin to our fat cells, making us fatter! This is where fishoil comes in to play, fish oil basically helps the satellite cells on the muscle tissue to suck up more insulin. Helping us to shed the unwanted fat! So do you need to take fish oil? No, you do not HAVE to take fish oil. You do not have to take any supplements. Supplements are meant to supplement what your missing from your diet. You do not have to buy any supplements to lose weight or gain muscle. People have been changing their body composition long before supplements even existed. How much do I recommend? I recommend 3g of Fish oil per day. Supplement form that would equal to about three 1,000mg capsules per day. If you did not want to use supplements you would need about 6-8oz of wild salmon per day. Other benefits of Fish Oil - Promotes heart health - Protects against cancer - Improves Mental health - Reduces pain and inflammation - Reduces blood triglyceride levels - Smoothes skin
"Who says you can not go out to eat and stay on your meal plan? Be smart when eating out avoid things that are fried or cooked in oil and try to keep the fat as low as you can!

How to get the most out of your cardio

How many of you want to spend your valuable time in the gym doing hours upon hours of cardio to lose bodyfat? I am sure many of you are already doing 30-60 minutes of boring cardio. I have discovered a new method to do your cardio in a more effective and efficient manner, saving you all time and energy. It’s not going to be easy but I can guarantee you will burn more bodyfat this way as well as have more time for your life outside the gym, how can anyone argue with that? The answer to all this is High Intensity Interval Cardio (HIIT)! Now you all are probably saying, “I have tried high intensity cardio and its nothing special”. Well, you haven’t done it the Ant Bev Fitness way yet! I have come up with the perfect way to perform High Intensity Interval Cardio that will progressively overload your cardio vascular system (basically improving your cardiovascular ability as well as your cardiovascular health) and burn more bodyfat. So why is HIIT Cardio is so important: Essentially High Intensity Interval Cardio (HIIT) does 3 things that Regular Cardio does not 1) it keeps your metabolic rate elevated for a longer period post cardio 2) it increases your mitochondrial production (mitochondria are the organelles in the cell where fat oxidation occurs) 3) it increases the activity of the enzymes in the mitochondria. So because of 2 & 3 you actually increase your CAPACITY to burn fat, as well as the rate at which you burn fat; even at rest So without further adieu here is my HIIT Cardio Protocol: Your First Cardio Session ex: -Stretch your legs out thoroughly -5 min warm-up on either a treadmill or elliptical -Once you finish warming up proceed to the Recumbent Bike -Start the bike up and set the time for 10 minutes and choose a level that is difficult but not to difficult - Once the 10 minutes are done track the: Calories Burned, Distance Traveled, Level, and the Average RPM - Then perform a 5-10 minute cooldown And that’s it! Perform this twice a week, either on your off days or 6 hours after your weight training sessions Now your next session of cardio you should strive to beat all those current numbers. It is really that easy. Each one of your cardio sessions will be progressive, so each cardio session builds off of the last one. This will make you strive for more during each session forcing each one of your cardio sessions to be better then the previous! So if for your first cardio session you burn 100 calories, think of how many calories you will burn 3 weeks down the line! Pattern for Progression You will have to progress the amount of time you will be performing your cardio. I recommend starting with at least twice per week, Remember everyone is different (some might need more, some less, some longer, some shorter, etc) and this protocol might not work for you but use it as an example: Week 1 10 min HIIT, 2x’s per week Week 2 10 min HIIT, 2x’s per week Week 3 10 min HIIT, 2x’s per week Week 4 10 min HIIT, 2x’s per week Week 5 (either up the amount of times per week or the amount of time but it depends on your goals) 12 min HIIT, 2x’s per week Week 6 12 min HIIT, 2x’s per week Etc General Rules -When adding time add 2 minutes at a time - Remember if your losing weight/bodyfat you might not need to change your cardio - Keep track of every session and do everything in your power to beat those previous numbers!!

A New Female Client Contest

I will be giving a bottle of Kre-A-Fem to the client who loses the most bodyfat in the next 30 days!!



What is Kre-A-Fem??

What It Is?
Over this past year, AAEFX has been introducing women from all walks of life to their creatine technology called Kre-Alkalyn EFX. And the response has been nearly the same from "Soccer Moms" to high-level fitness competitors: They overwhelmingly fell in love with it! Why? Because they all had previous bad experiences with creatine. Thanks to this multi-patented creatine technology, we've eliminated all these negatives, especially the infamous creatine bloat!

What It Does

Now AAEFX have taken this technology even further and created Kre-a-fem: the only creatine product in the world formulated specifically for women. This amazing formula also contains specially chosen ingredients to promote hormonal balance, better health, and help combat the stress of daily living. Our breakthrough allows women of all shapes, ages, and fitness goals to quickly increase their strength, change the shape of their bodies, recover faster, and experience more stimulant-free energy than ever before. They're powering through their day and workouts without a single side-effect, especially the jitters caused by caffeine.

Women Everywhere Are RAVING About All New Kre-a-fem Because They Love:
No bloating or water retention
Increases in energy…stimulant free!
The change in body shale and weight
Increases in strength
Their renewed passion for exercise
Feeling better to meet life’s daily demands
How they look and feel

Kre-a-fem is already widely known as "Curves in a Capsule" for one very powerful reason: IT WORKS!

The following is a breakdown of what Kre-A-Fem consists of:

Kre-Alkalyn EFX

Calcium (as chelate) - This popular mineral was chosen for 6 impressive reasons. Research suggests calcium:
1) Is useful for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis
2) May aid in the prevention of certain cancers
3) Can be used in the treatment of high blood pressure
4) May lower cholesterol and guard against cardiovascular disease
5) Can act as a natural tranquilizer for sleep purposes
6) Helps alleviate legs cramps

Black Cohosh Extract - Clinical evidence suggests Black Cohosh provides numerous health advantages for women of all ages. But its most prominent benefit is helping to reduce the symptoms of premenstrual and menopausal symptoms.

Soy Isoflavone Extract - Soy Isoflavones are used medicinally primarily because of their estrogen-regulating properties.Benefits include prevention of plaque formation in blood vessels, can help reduce psoriasis, may be an effective aid against certain forms of cancer and osteoporosis, while also easing menopausal symptom in some women.

Magnesium (as chelate) - This vital mineral was added to Kre-a-fem because it is necessary for the production of cellular energy, muscle contraction, and every major biological process. Magnesium works with calcium to produce ATP(adenosine triphosphate), a special molecule in cells that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do.

Iron (as chelate) - Not only is iron enormously important for good health, but it has also been shown that muscular performance depends on adequate availability of this critical mineral.

CoQ10 - CoQ10 is a vitamin-like nutrient found in cells. It is involved in the process of cellular energy production. While it may have a number health related benefits, CoQ10's most notable is its possible impact on Cardiovascular disease. It
has also been shown to revitalize the immune system.

As you can see Kre-Alkalyn is obviously the main formula. The only things that make this supplement aimed towards women is: Black Cohosh Extract & Soy Isoflavone Extract.

Good Luck to all you women!!!

Achieving the Claims: A good diet comes first, then supplementation. As long as you consume the product as directed, you will more than likely be one step closer to achieving the claims of this product.

This Product is directed towards: Athletes, Body Builders, Powerlifters and anyone interested in the claims stated above.

Flavors Chocolate Fusion & Vanilla Vapor

Taste: 10/10 Very good not chaulky has a perfect chocolately taste. Vanilla tastes almost like vanilla ice cream!

Mix ability: 10/10 This has to be one of the best proteins mix ability wise. I experienced no chunks or any powder left floating in my shaker cup. Mixes just as well as Isopure but has a thickness to it (unlike isopure that is very watery)

Mix with: Water or Milk or Kre-Celerator (For a PWO or Pre-Workout blast)

Good/Bad value? Based on my personal experience, I would say it is a great value. A Pharmaceutical grade whey protein at a cheap price can't be matched! Quality of the product and knowning exactly what's in the jug is worth every penny!

Important Tip: Maybe extremely contagious.....especially when made as a pudding
1-2 scoops NF-Pro
enough water to make it pudding consistancy
refrigerate for 10-15 minutes
(perfect snack!)

Personal Experience after 30 days: *Note - I consumed 2 scoops before and after my workout and during the day as needed. After 30 days it helped me shed 3lbs of bodyfat and retain all my Lean Body Mass, I also did not experience any bloating with this Pharmaceutically graded whey.

Personal Pros/Cons:
Pros There's no doubt that this is one of the best protein powders out there, just about everything this product offers is great.
Cons The Macro's are kind of high if your using it for precontest dieting.....maybe AAEFX can design a lower-carb whey especially for dieting bodybuilders!

Overall: 10/10

6 Reasons Why NF-Pro is Better then your Average Whey:
1. AAEFX only uses a USDA registered cold spray-drying process to manufacture their whey protein. Other brands use a less expensive high heat method that can destroy ("Denature") protein bonds, resulting with a lower BV Score and a slower absorption rate.

2. AAEFX Whey Protein is never "Cut" with sugar or cheap fillers such as maltodextrin, starch or gelatin.

3. Each batch is tested using Pharmaceutical level near infrared technology to guarantee it meets or exceeds label claims

4. Every batch is screened for drugs and banned substances

5. Every batch is fully tested for Microbial content (bacterial contamination) that may lead to stomach distress, illness and other unwanted side effects

6. AAEFX only uses an "Agglomeration" process so that AAEFX whey protein mixes instantly. However most use a cheaper process known as "Instantization". This will improve mixing ability but it may also destroy protein peptides

CredabilityYes I am a rep for AAEFX but I posted this review on my own volition and I am giving my honest opinion. I do not get paid to post reviews. I was never asked to post this review, but i was just really impressed with the product so i did it on my own volition. I am a Certified Personal Trainer with a huge client base, I recommend these products to all my clients and they love it!
Still do not believe me...try it for yourself!
