Tip 5. Monthly Contest ------------------------------------------------------ 1: Quick Intro: I am so very interested in cycles. Cycles of fads, clothing, music or anything. I also very much believe in the timing of the universe. Over the past month or so, I've gotten many questions regarding vegetarianism and that is why I'm passing along info about it. I was vegetarian for 10 years and vegan for 2. It served me well. I was recently asked a question about what advice I'd give regarding a vegetarian w.eight loss program. My answer was that vegetarianism isn't for everyone and to work with your body type. I recommended the book "Perfect Health" by Deepak Chopra as a good place to start learning about body type diets. you can find more info on my library page There will be more resources for vegetarians sent out over the next few weeks. This month I'm starting a series of articles on F.at Loss and W.eight Gain by the Trainer from Down Under, Gary Matthews. Look for them over the next few months. I'm off to my home town Melfort Saskatchewan for the Easter weekend to visit my father and then popping in to visit my mom on the way back. It's an 8 hour drive for me, but I have all my educational CD's ready to listen to on the drive. Have a great holiday weekend!

It is more difficult to get vegan items, but if you ask the right questions you can usually come up with a full meal. If you are unsure as to how an item might be prepared, don't hesitate to ask. Many restaurants won't state in the menu that vegetables are sauteed in butter, or a chicken stock is used as a base in a vegetable soup. Often times items are presented as vegetarian and vegan when in fact they are not. Remember, most restaurants are ready and willing to accommodate your needs, so if you don't see something on the menu ask if it would be possible to make a special request. Au Bon Pain: Vegetarians can choose from a wide variety of muffins, cookies, sandwiches and soups. Vegans are pretty much limited to bagels and fresh fruit. Bruegger's Bagels: Excellent sandwiches as well as numerous varieties of bagels. They make a wonderful humus that tastes great on a bagel with a little lettuce and tomato. California Pizza Kitchen: Wide selection of gourmet veggie pizzas. The crust, unfortunately, is not vegan. Denny's: More choices for the vegetarian including: pancakes, cheese quesadillas and a wide variety of desserts. Vegans can find fresh fruit on the menu, but the meals always come with baked potatoes and vegetables which can be ordered separately. Domino's Pizza: Pizza is an easy item for vegetarians. Simply load up the pie with vegetables. Vegans can also indulge because Domino's has several crusts which are vegan. Little Caesar's: Offers a vegan crust. Ponderosa: Vegetarians and Vegans alike will have no problem finding items on the salad bar/buffet. Most of their vegetables are prepared without butter. Subway: Individual chains have the option of carrying vegetarian and vegan fare. Currently the_ZO options for vegetarians including a veggie burger sandwich in many locations. Vegans beware - the sub rolls contain whey in some locations so make sure to ask for a list of ingredients. Taco Bell: Request to substitute the meat with beans and most everything on the menu becomes vegetarian. Vegans should stick to tostadas or hard tacos. Some of the chains use tortillas that contain whey. TGI Friday's: A great veggie burger for vegetarians (not vegan) and a wonderful steamed veggie platter. Wendy's: Restaurants with a superbar have many vegetarian items including pasta, beans, bread choices, fruit and vegetables. Their topped baked potatoes are also good vegetarian choices. Vegans will find items on the superbar, but ask how the food is prepared - it may be prepared using animal products. ------------------------------------------------------ Raw Food and Vegetarian / Vegan Superstore Everything RAW: organic foods, juicers, water filters books, videos, enviromentally friendly clothing and anything else healthy, ogranic and raw! THE LOWEST PRICES ON RAW & LIVING FOOD PRODUCTS www.RawFood.com ------------------------------------------------------ Q & A These questions have been submitted by individuals all over the world who are concerned about their anti- aging health. Dr. Lam, world renowned anti-aging physician and researcher, has answered the following Frequent Anti-Aging Questions incorporating helpful information and easy-to-follow instructions. To ask a question of your own, simply go to: www.lammd.com Q: I have been a vegetarian for about 30 years. I am a blood type O. Now I have adrenal fatigue along with some other things and have been told to eat meat so I am doing that. But I am still weak. My question is: What does it do to the human body if you eat the wrong type of diet? --I mean to not eat meat if your body needs it. Some teenagers eat a vegetarian diet because they are concerned about animals, as I have always been. But can you become really sick if you eat a diet that is wrong for your blood type? A: There are 2 school rules of thoughts, I myself subscribe to the thought that moderation in all things we eat is the key. This diet may benefit some people that are really sensitive to the food they eat. It may not affect others. So it is hard to say whether it is harmful or not. When all problems come out, it is at a time of middle age, at which time our body is weakened and our hormone system has become imbalanced and lessened as part of aging. It is good to know what food is particularly harmful for your body, so you are conscious of not over consuming those items. For any kind of diet, I would always have higher concentration of variety of vegetables, sprouts and fruits, and moderation in all the other items. Your weakness comes from your adrenal fatigue. It will take a couple years to rebuild the strength. Talk to your naturally oriented physician for possible supplementation with vitamin B5, vitamin C in high dose, and pregnenolone / DHEA for adrenal gland optimization. Remember, BALANCE is the key to health. ------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q U O T E S ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------ Fitness "Being fit is one of the most potent protectors of health,Much of what we associate with aging is actually the cumulation of a lifetime of inactivity and poor nutrition," -Dr. Miriam Nelson, researcher at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston. Success "Take a chance! All life is a chance. The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The 'sure thing' boat never gets far from shore." -- Dale Carnegie "If you could find out what the most successful people did in any area and then you did the same thing over and over, you'd eventually get the same results they do." -- Brian Tracy "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure." -- Jim Rohn "Success comes when you do what you love to do, and commit to being the best in your field." -- Brian Tracy "One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine with only interests." -- John Stuart Mill "If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad." -- Denis Waitley "My sources are unreliable, but their information is fascinating." -- Ashleigh Brilliant Food "American donuts. Glazed, powdered and raspberry- filled. Now how's that for freedom of choice?" -- Homer Simpson ----------------------------------------------------- 3. Workout Without a Gym by Gary Matthews the Trainer from Down Under! We know that using free weights and machines is the fastest and most efficient way there is to improve your metabolism and strength, but for many reasons these may not be convenient or readily accessible to you. You may also have no access to a commercial gym, home gym or are on business trip, but there can be a solution, a strength-training workout without the need of expensive machines. As with any exercise, whether you are using your own body weight, machines or free weights, if the resistance doesn't increase, your muscles won't be worked to their maximum capacity and the stimulus these fibres need to grow will be missing. Exercises done correctly will build the lean muscle and increase your metabolism in the same way as performing exercises at a gymnasium, but without the time constraints and associated costs. These exercises can be easily done in a bedroom, hotel room, a park, school yard, ceiling rafters in a garage or in a doorway and all you have to do is use your imagination. There will always be a way to add more resistance to your workouts. Please remember: It doesn't matter where you are working out — at home, a hotel, or a park — always warm up properly before beginning your session, and cool down and stretch when you are finished. The Program * Please following this strength-training regime once a week for twenty to thirty minutes per session, preferably the same day on a weekly basis when your other activity levels are low, be it in the morning or afternoon whenever it suits you. That is the beauty of this program, it’s only short, it’s concise and it works. * You’ll be performing one set per exercise, so you’ll need to perform the exercises as best as you can (100% effort) and then move on to the next exercise. * You’ll also be cycling intensity through changes in repetitions and weight throughout the ten-week program. With program No 1 start with 15 reps on the exercises and then keep on adding weight gradually to the exercises for the ten-week period until at week ten you are doing 8 reps. Do the same for Program No 2 * The majority of big basic lifts (compound movements) are squatting, pulling or upper body pushing movements, which are covered in this program. There are two programs available; each is to be utilized for the ten-week period followed by a two-week break. E.g. No 1 for ten weeks, two week break, No 2 for ten weeks, two week break and so on. Program No 1 Lunge, Dips, Chin-Ups Program No 2 Squat, Push-Ups, Bent Over Row Read the rest of the article with exercise explanations ------------------------------------------------------ How to Gain 10 lbs in 10 weeks from as little as 20 minutes per week! -Hightly Effective Workouts -No need for 3-4 Days Training -Double your Results -Iron.clad R.isk F.ree M.oney B.ack G.uarantee www.MaximumFitness.com ----------------------------------------------------- NATURAL ALTERNATIVES TO SWEAT Why sweat like a stuck pig exercising like a maniac when you can achieve similar results in 10-15 minutes a day with five simple exercises developed by Tibetan monks? Results 100% guaranteed! http://www.formerfatguy.com/go/?fiverites ----------------------------------------------------- 4. Tip Challenge your muscles, optimize circulation, then relax (in that order). This works to healthfully optimize the process of protein synthesis and fat release. Weight training is fueled by stored glyocen in muscle tissue, and if aerobic movement follows exercise that depletes glyogen stores, hormonal shifts amplify fat release. Resistance exercise stimulates increases in GH production which actually take place during down time. ----------------------------------------------------- Monthly Gift Offer I have decided to offer a gift to one lucky subscriber each and every month.

For those eliminating or wanting to eliminate coffee or tea from your diet, I recommend a whole food beverage offered by Sunrider called Calli. Shao-lin temple priests ate this formula of whole food herbs as a salad for it's ability to improve mental clarity and improved concentration. Now available in a concentrated whole food beverage, Calli is alkaline in nature and has less caffeine than a carrot. Calli can aid digestion and by it's alkaline nature, less impurities are likely to be absorbed or retained from normal digestion. http://www.formerfatguy.com/sample-packs.asp ------------------------------------------------------ Advertising: People have been asking how to advertise in this newsletter.
