The 3 Supplements I’ll Never Cut From My Fat Loss Plan

 Let me be clear — no supplement will replace hard work, consistency, or a solid meal plan.

But the right supplements? They make the journey easier, smoother, and way more sustainable.

Here are the 3 products I personally use every day when I’m in fat loss mode (and recommend to all my clients):

1. Vital Health Global – Gut Health & Fat Loss Stack

This combo helps with digestion, inflammation, and appetite control. Most people don’t realize they’re bloated, backed up, or inflamed — until they fix it.
👉 Click Here

2. 1st Phorm – Micro Factor & Full Mega

Think of this as your nutritional insurance policy. It covers the basics: vitamins, omegas, antioxidants, and helps with recovery.
👉 Click Here

3. Bioniq Labs – Custom Blood Panel

This isn’t a supplement, but it’s part of my stack. I test my blood every few months to make sure what I’m doing is actually working.

You don’t need 20 products. Just a few powerful ones that work together.

5 Proven Principles To Your Greatest Weight Loss Week EVER

Happy Sunday ABF

Some of you skip Bootcamp and working out on the weekend, and I understand
it's Sunday...you want to chill, you want to relax and eat some wings and pizza.

But if you are off from work and free from stress...Why not get your workout in...

Why wait till Monday when you are at your busiest?

What if you plan on working out 3 days this week and something comes up on one of those days?

If you work out on Sunday you are already ahead of the game...and if you happen to exercise 3 times during the week, you are up to 4 days.

Not to mention if you plan and making it your "cheat day" then you best get some burning going!

We have class at 11am in Hialeah...See you there



Either way...Enjoy your Sunday

TRIPLE your fat loss today (here's how)

TGIM People

Hope your weekend was GREAT!

I had some Great workouts this weekend, so I am ready for the week at Bootcamp

I have Jam Packed the Post today with a lot of info

First a post from Joel Marion at

Here’s a little-publicized fact:

If you want fast results, you’re going to have to work out HARD. Oops…looks like I just lost 99% of the world as a potential customer.

Nevertheless, it’s a FACT. Effective fat burning workouts are uncomfortable by nature.

Let me ask you this…

When is the last time you felt “uncomfortable” during a workout? I’m talking about “hands-on-your-knees, sucking-wind, sweat-dripping-on-the-gym-floor” uncomfortable? For most people it ain’t recent.

But it’s absolutely necessary.

Why? Because it’s not about how many calories you burn during a workout – it’s about how many calories you burn after.

Classic example: For the last two weeks I’ve been working out with a guy by the name of Dan “The Machine” Long. He doesn’t call himself that, but I do. Why? Because he’s a machine. Pretty self-explanatory.

Well, yesterday Dan put me through a workout that resulted in me burning 647 calories in 45 minutes. Not too shabby. But that’s not where the real magic happened – no, the real magic happened about 20 minutes later when I pulled in to my garage and that same calorie monitor read 1009 calories.

That’s 362 additional calories burned while sitting on my butt driving home – that’s more than most people burn in a 30 minute workout, and I did it while sitting around.

Had I left the calorie monitor on for another hour, it probably would have read somewhere around 1500 calories (nearly TRIPLE the caloric burn of the actual workout).

And I attribute that kind of dramatic “afterburn” directly to the intensity of the workout, and more specifically to a concept that Dan refers to as “kill mode”.

What is kill mode? Well, allow me to define it for you, straight from Results Dictionary:

Kill Mode (‘kil · mōd) noun – a mental shift that occurs approximately half way through a work set in which fatigue is ignored, adrenaline prevails, and all-out max effort fat loss domination begins

Boom!

A practical example:

Let’s say you’re doing a timed set of jump squats for one minute. The first 30 seconds is auto-pilot. The final 30 seconds is when you enter kill mode – you forget about how you’re feeling, you allow adrenaline to take over, and you give it your all. You push. You go harder. You dominate.

That’s kill mode, and it works — bigtime.

Is it uncomfortable? YES. Is it HARD? Absolutely. Does it require mental toughness? You better believe it.

But as I stated at the very beginning of this post, you’re NEVER going to get the results you’re after without truly, genuinely working HARD.

Think about it – are you truly pushing yourself during your workouts? Does each set end with a “kill mode” moment? If not, you’re barely scratching the surface of your fat loss potential!



People, this is the kind of thing we do at Bootcamp EVERYDAY.....
One thing we are going to talk about is hunger – wanting something bad enough so that when you encounter an obstacle, and you will, that you’ll keep on keeping on. This is probably one of the most overlooked traits of successful people.

This video explains it all…

The "C" word women HATE

Hi Everyone,

We are talking about the C word today..

CELLULITE..

First what is it?

Well Wiki says:

Cellulite is a topographic skin change claimed to occur in most postpubertal females.[1] It presents as a modification of skin topography evident by skin dimpling and nodularity that occurs mainly in women on the pelvic region, lower limbs, and abdomen, and is caused by the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue, leading to a padded or orange peel–like appearance

What does it look like?







Weight Loss May Worsen Cellulite?

The research, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, is based on a study of 29 women who enrolled in medically supervised weight loss programmes. These included low-fat meals and the extreme measure of bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass and gastric banding. Seventeen of these patients (58%) experienced an improvement in the appearance of their cellulite, but nine (31%) saw their condition worsen.

The patients with the biggest improvements were those who lost the most weight and lowered their percentage of thigh fat. They also had a higher body mass index (BMI) to begin with and more severe cellulite.

Patients whose cellulite worsened started with a "significantly" lower BMI, lost smaller amounts of weight and had no change in percentage of thigh fat.

Those whose skin became looser after weight loss - losing its elasticity - also had worse cellulite. The average weight loss was 13.8kg (30.5lb). The study concluded that losing weight had "variable effects" on the appearance of cellulite.

John Kitzmiller, a plastic surgeon and co-author of the study, said: "Approximately 85% of women are affected by cellulite. Cellulite is not specific to overweight people but excess weight may worsen the condition.

"Although the appearance of cellulite diminished for the majority of patients, weight loss did not totally eradicate the condition. The dimples appear to be permanent features that lessen in depth as the pounds come off."

How do you get rid of it?

If you've wasted time and money on scam cellulite solutions, you're going to be happy – and sad – to hear what I have to say. The truth is if you want to
know how to lose cellulite, the answer has been right in front of your face all along.

And yes, it's the classic 3-step system of the right diet, the right exercise, and getting social support. There's nothing fancy, nothing expensive, and nothing magical about any of these.

Perhaps you expected me to promote some magical seaweed harvested off the coast of the Canary Islands only between November and December when the moon is full? Well, if that's the case, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Instead, you're going to discover that it's possible for a woman to lose cellulite in her 40's, 50's and 60's, even when most women have given up on beating the cellulite curse.

Most women rely on long, slow cardio training, but in all my years as a trainer, I've never seen jogging build a better butt. In fact, most women joggers still have the same saggy butt and thighs problem as non-joggers.

And sometimes it's even worse (plus, they notice it more too, with all that thigh-rubbing during their long, slow cardio workouts).

Instead, women need to focus on interval training to lose cellulite from their thighs and resistance training to tone up their tush..

That's exactly what one my clients, a woman named Melanie, did it by switching to three short, but intense workouts per week. She Joined Bootcamp, and when she couldnt go to Bootcamp she used my CELLULITE REMOVAL SYSTEM and started with 20 minutes of total body resistance training and finished with 20 minutes of interval training.

Melanie found these workouts to be much more effective for losing cellulite than her old workouts of long cardio. Australian researchers have also found that interval training is more effective for burning belly fat in woman as well, even though the interval workouts lasted only half the time.


No marathon cardio sessions needed. Instead, her cellulite solution workouts focused on short, burst activities only. But none of this would have been possible without the support of her husband.

Most women don't know this, but social support is one of the most important factors in the success of any fat loss program. If you don't have someone motivating you, encouraging you, and holding you accountable, even all the magic in the world won't cure your cellulite, because at the end of the day, you still have to do the work.

Along with a 1600 calorie per day diet of whole, natural foods and the loving social support of her husband, Melanie was able to lose over 25 pounds in 12 weeks and dropped her body fat 7.7% to an all-time low of 16.9%. She lost 3 inches from her thighs and over 3.5 inches from her hips. It literally looks as though someone elevated her butt two inches and removed all the fat from her low back.

By getting rid of her cellulite and boosting her butt, Melanie not only changed her body but transformed herself inside and out. She now has the power over food, rather than it having the power over her, and she has her best-ever body, most women simply give up or continue to rely on cellulite scams to provide an overnight change in their body.

She is an inspiration to women everywhere who want to know how to lose cellulite.

There's no magic potion or pill. Just the right diet, exercise and social support.

Hi


With 2010 winding down - you might be considering what you are going to

do to take your body and your health to the next level.




Quite frankly, I foresee in the next year (and beyond) that it will be even

more important to continually surround yourself with the right kind of information,

with the truth and with positive mindsets. It's my firm belief that the major shifts in the health and fitness industry occurring right now are the 'new normal' regardless of how much BS is out there. And the people in our group, collectively, will be in the best position to take advantage of these changes,

burn the most amount of fat, and develop NEW lean muscle tissue.




I look around the classes and my one on one clients and see Bodies changing and people getting healthier and having a better quality life style.

Many of which are having their best years ever. I don't think it's a coincidence or accident.




And I'd like to invite you to join us those people...if you qualify.

I have been researching for months, testing over and over..and NOW I know for sure I have found the answers I was looking for.

This will not be a fun and games diet and exercise plan. This will be the most advanced eating system I have created. That's why I am doing it too.

This is NOT for people who don't want to burn fat quick and might seem unconventional to some..

But guess what, what everyone else is doing works..but take months.

I want to go to Mexico in February..to the beach..so I need to burn fat and build muscle in 30 days.

Out with the OLD




From: Rafael... Personal

If you watch too much news, you may find yourself in the corner of the shower, cold water pouring on you, bottle of bourbon clutched in your hand - mewing.

Nuts to 'em. You know how the World can get up off its hind legs? If a bunch of us get busy and eat better foods. Have better workout.We will Lose a helluva lot more weight!

WHAT IF YOU could have a NEW metabolism?

I say: out with the old, in with the new. Let's take a big damn bulldozer to all the mediocrity and ordinariness, and silly excuses we have been making.

I'm gonna tell you a story about YOU.

Over the years, You have eaten a lot of Good foods..and you have also eaten a lot of BAD foods.

Day in and day out, month after month, these Foods have built up in your system and YOU have created a Traffic Jam:



This traffic Jam has slowed down YOUR metabolism. So even when you have tried to "diet" it has not worked as well as you wanted it to.

I know what you might be thinking...but yes YOU to have a history of eating bad foods and as a result have clogged your metabolism.

It is NOT age...the ONLY thing that age has to do with is that...YOU have been doing some damage for longer than when you were younger.

So Solution time...How do ca I make your metabolism Super Fast:



Simple!

and I can make it happen in 10 Days

That's why I decided to make the 10 Day Metabolism Jump Start and Detox Diet

The plan is easy to follow and SUPER effective. The First thing that we do is Get rid of all the OLD clogging that you have. We will flush it all out in 1 day. THEN I will little by little reintroduce macro nutrients (that's a fancy term for food groups).

What does that do? It teaches your Body how to process each food group individually. After so many years of food combinations and disaster meals, this is the sure fire solution to speeding up your metabolism.

So we repeat this process every 48 hours and at the end of the 10 Days you are eating full meals, and YOUR body has a New understanding of how to process these food faster.

How cool is that?

And you don't need to go anywhere..We do ALL of this through EMAIL.

Well on top of that I will send you workouts you can do at home (via email), and I will send you a Meal plan you can follow for 2 weeks after your 10 day Jump start is over.

So I have 11 spots still open and I can tell you I interact with each person all the time so I really can't take more than 20.

Imagine all those people asking question about there meal plan, me training clients all day..I could never get to them..so 20 is the Cut off.

You can get the 10 Days for $77 and we Start MONDAY..that means you should be 10lbs lighter before Christmas

You can Lock you spot by >>CLICKING HERE<<

It's 10 Days to a new Metabolism..after years of bad food choices. Do it for YOU
So you can get the 10 day program >>here<<

Lose a pound of fat in a day










Happy Friday,


If you are like most people, you probably spend hundreds (if not thousands of dollars) on products that simply didn‘t produce any results.

But the truth is, there is really only ONE way to accelerated pure fat loss, and that is to...





<<< A Pound of Fat

Create a Massive Calorie Deficit Through Calorically Expensive

Workouts and SMART Low-Calorie Intakes.

Let‘s do some simple math. Don‘t worry; there is no need to take out your calculator. We‘ll try to keep it simple.

A pound of fat is 3,500 calories. To lose a pound of fat, then you will need to create a 3,500 calorie deficit. You got 7 lbs of fat to lose? Make that 24,500 calories. There is no shortcut around that.

Based on that number, we know that fat loss occurs when the body is in a negative calorie balance (in other words, when you are burning more calories than you are consuming).


You see, your body









loves being comfortable. If it had its' way, you'd lie on the couch all day catching potato chips with your mouth, watching the latest episode of Survivor. If you did that, nothing would threaten its survival. You'd be comfortable and you'd be happy.
On A Moderate Calorie Days you should consume 13 x Lean Body Mass in calories with a macronutrient breakdown of 30% Protein, 40% Carbohydrates, 30% Fat.


But today we want to create a MASSIVE calorie deficit by combining calorically expensive workouts with a strategically timed low-calorie intake (increased fat loss).

Today we are having a low Calorie Day where you’ll consume 8 x Lean Body Mass (Your weight) in calories with a macronutrient breakdown of 35% Protein, 15% Carbohydrates, 50% Fat.





SO this is the Sample:







8:00 am


10:30 am




1:00 pm




5:00 pm




7:00 pm




10:00 pm



– Pre-bed Snack (P+F) – Dinner Meal (P+F) – Post Workout Shake (P+C) – Lunch Meal (P+F) – Mid-morning Meal (P+F) – Breakfast Meal (P+F)


And Now a 1, 000 Calorie Burning Workout, Provided by Workout Muse:
The 1,000-Calorie Burning Workout

Boxing Intervals: Alternate between 3 minutes of work and 1 minute of rest. Perform up to 15 total rounds for a 60-minute workout.

Station#1- TRX Squat Sequence Complex

Perform 1 rep of each of the following movements and repeat this cycle for 3 total minutes followed by a 1-minute rest and transition:

1- TRX 2-Leg Squat Variation
2- TRX 1-Leg Squat Variation (L)
3- TRX 1-Leg Squat Variation (R)

Station#2- Bodyweight Succession Complex

Perform 6 consecutive 30-second work periods for 3 total minutes followed by a 1-minute rest and transition using the following exercise order:

1- Side Pillar Variation (L)
2- Side Pillar Variation (R)
3- Push-up Variation
4- Lunge Variation (L)
5- Lunge Variation (R)
6- Squat Variation

Station#3- Partner Density Training: “I go, you go”

Partners will continuously alternate in an “I go, you go” format between each of the following exercises for 3 straight minutes followed by a 1-minute rest and transition:

Partner#1- Battle Ropes Waves Variation @ 20 reps
Partner#2- Push-up Variation @ max reps for time

Station#4- Full Turkish Get-Ups*

Perform a full Turkish Get-up, switch sides, and repeat for time. The goal is to get 1 full rep every 30 seconds and 3 full reps/side in 3 minutes followed by a 1-minute rest and transition.

Station#5- Swings and Slams Density Training

Perform each exercise in the following superset for the prescribed number of repetitions with zero rest and transition between movements for 3 straight minutes followed by a 1-minute rest and transition:

1- Kettlebell Swings Variation (or KB Sumo Deadlifts Variation) @ 10 reps
2- Med Ball Slams Variation @ 10 reps

Perform this 20-minute cycle up to 3x for 60 total minutes

Now maybe some of this makes sense and maybe it does not.

But there is science behind the training methods we use. We have numbers to back it and there is reasoning too.


Today is the LAST Day to get The Daily Deal of the week here:



You can get one of the spots in the 10 day Coaching program and The new 90 Diet makeover...and more

Is your friend an expert?

Hi Everyone,



Let me first Say a Big TGIF!



Now have you ever had a friend or family member give you health and fitness advice? Well in the 15 years I have been a fitness coach I have heard alot of things. What I find funny is how high people place the opinion of what their friends and family think.



The first time I do a consultation with a client I ask a lot of questions, and the things I hear are pretty across the board. But the advice source is what I laugh at. Listen to this:



"My mom says I shouldn't eat after 6pm"

"My friend Betsy says I should take these pills to lose weight"

"My sister told me she know a friend who only eats apples and only drinks water and lost weight"

"My friend Becky says women that lift weight will get bulky"

"Protein shakes make you fat"

"My brother told me if I do 1,000 sit ups a day I will tone my tummy"



ALL NONSENSE...or a Deadly mistake, you have a friend or family member that's looks pretty good, and they say "Eat 4 raw eggs in the morning, take 2 scoops of my Super Shake, and only eat red onions for dinner" and you DO IT because they look good.



Where is your uncommon sense? Before you get all crazy..I'm not claiming to know Everything..yes I have a degree, and yes I have multiple certifications, and yes I have been successfully coaching people Since 1995 but I am always learning too. But what I'm trying to say is do a little research, there are a ton of qualified fitness professionals out there..WHY ARE YOU TAKING ADVICE from your friend Betsy or your cousins' mom?



I didn;t make up the rules on how your body burn fat but I sure do understand them..so do yourself a favor get professional advice from a professional.



Yes..that's me..



or Don't a keep getting the results you've gotten



***Now Super Cool Friday Time




Today I also have 2 Cool gifts for you..

First I have a 30 minute workout for you



2nd....if you leave a comment BELOW, I will email you a FREE Copy of "The 7 Steps to Skinny Jeans" ebook
