Thanks for the eMails

I just want to thank all of you for your educational emails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel or have them put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

I can’t use the remote in a hotel room because I don’t know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels.

I can’t sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking ones nose (although cell phone usage may be taking the number one spot).

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of Trans fats I have consumed over the years.

I can’t touch any woman’s purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public bathroom.

I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.

ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa’s Novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won’t crawl in my back seat when I’m pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put ‘Under God’ on their cans.

I no longer use Saran Wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can’t boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face… Disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don’t support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan .

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

THANKS TO YOU I can’t use anyone’s toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can’t ever pick up $5.00 dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

I can no longer drive my car because I can’t buy gas from certain gas companies!

I can’t do any gardening because I’m afraid I’ll get bitten by the brown recluse and my hand will fall off.

If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. Tomorrow afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour’s ex-mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s beautician . . .

Oh, by the way…..

A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their email with their hand on the mouse.

Don’t bother taking it off now, it’s too late.

Interesting Phenomenon About Energy Drinks And Other

You may have noticed from a lot of my newsletters how I talk a lot about th= e power of your mind and how this controls the results you get in your body.

This is yet another example of the power of the placebo effect, and probabl= y the only reason anybody gets any results whatsoever from typical suppleme= nts.

I recently read about a study (sorry, I don't have the exact citation or th= e exact numbers involved), but here was the general details of the study...

The researchers split the group into 2 large groups of people. The first g= roup they gave one of these typical "energy drinks" that you see everywhere= (which I've mentioned before are a complete waste).=20

Now here's the important part... they specifically told this first group of= people that this energy drink they were receiving would increase their str= ength and endurance levels and increase their energy output.

The 2nd group received the exact same "energy drink" but was not told what = the drink was, so nothing was said about it improving anything. For all the= se people knew, they were just being given a drink for no reason.

**The results:

Very interesting!

The 1st group, which was told that the energy drink would improve their str= ength and endurance, actually DID increase their strength outputs and endur= ance tests.

However, the 2nd group, which received the EXACT SAME "energy drink" was NO= T TOLD that it would help anything, and therefore, they showed no measurabl= e signs of improvement on any of the tests!

Wow... yet another powerful example of how it's ALL IN YOUR MIND!

One way this can be applied to your nutrition and workouts:

1. When you're performing certain exercises, you need to really strongly BE= LIEVE IN YOUR MIND that those exercises are transforming your body... in re= turn, that strong belief will improve your results in the gym MUCH more tha= n just mindlessly going through the exercises.

2. When you're eating healthy food, you need to really strongly believe and= think about how much that food is making you leaner, stronger, and more en= ergetic. If you believe strongly how much that food is helping you, it WILL= help you much more than if you didn't think about what you were eating pos= itively.

This is very powerful stuff!

If you want to learn another super-powerful technique to make your MIND WOR= K FOR YOU in getting you the exact body that you want...make sure to read t= his article I posted on my blog a few weeks ago...this is a secret that man= y have used to finally see success with their fitness results:

How to eat 3000-5000 calories-day & stay lean

Contributed by Mike Geary

I know that subject line may sound impossible... and to some smaller framed people, it may be impossible.

But the fact is, one of the most exciting aspects of adding more muscle mass to your frame is that you can eat more calories than most of the rest of society, yet you can still stay lean.

In fact, I personally eat over 3,000 calories/day (sometimes even 4000 calories/day), and I stay super-lean year-round.

Like I mentioned previously, some bodybuilders eat up to 5000 calories/day and stay ridiculously lean.

If you want to learn some serious strategies for building muscle from a guy that designed a system that packed 41 lbs of muscle onto his frame in 6 months, then you need to check out

http://BuildCrazyMuscle.com

Visit Vince's website to see everything described in more detail, but here's what the system includes in a nutshell:

* 201 page ebook (literally EVERYTHING you need to know about muscle) * 29 week Beginner-Intermediate Workout * 29 week Advanced Workout * Upside Down Training (specialized workouts) * Five 84 Day Healthy Calorie Meal Plans * Three 84 Day Veggie Mass Meal Plans * Three 84 Day Cheap Mass Meal Plans * A Virtual Trainer (exercise database) * The Supplement Files * 24-7 Email Coach * MP3's of entire course * 8 Week Guarantee

I was hesitant when Vince sent me a copy of everything to review, but I can honestly say I was blown away with the quality of the entire package and all of the unique secrets about building muscle that Vince revealed in this system. Check it out...

Are whole eggs or egg whites better

Contributed by Mike Geary

I was on a weekend trip with some friends recently and one of my friends was cooking breakfast for the whole group. I went over to see what he was cooking and saw he was getting ready to make a big batch of eggs.

Well, to my shock and horror, I noticed that he was cracking the eggs open and screening the egg whites into a bowl and throwing out the egg yolks. I asked him why the heck he was throwing out the egg yolks, and he replied...

"because I thought the egg yolks were terrible for you...that's where all the nasty fat and cholesterol is".

And I replied, "you mean that's where all the nutrition is!"

This is a perfect example of how confused most people are about nutrition. In a world full of misinformation, somehow most people now mistakenly think that the egg yolk is the worst part of the egg, when in fact, the YOLK IS THE HEALTHIEST PART OF THE EGG!

By throwing out the yolk and only eating egg whites, you're essentially throwing out the most nutrient dense, antioxidant-rich, vitamin and mineral loaded portion of the egg. The yolks contain so many B-vitamins, trace minerals, vitamin A, folate, choline, lutein, and other powerful nutrients... it's not even worth trying to list them all.

In fact, the egg whites are almost devoid of nutrition compared to the yolk.

Even the protein in egg whites isn't as powerful without the yolks to balance out the amino acid profile and make the protein more bio-available. Not to even mention that the egg yolks from free range chickens are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids.

Yolks contain more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12, and panthothenic acid of the egg. In addition, the yolks contain all of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K in the egg, as well as all of the essential fatty acids.

And now the common objection I get all the time when I say that the yolks are the most nutritious part of the egg...

"But I heard that whole eggs will skyrocket my cholesterol through the roof"

No, this is FALSE!

First of all, when you eat a food that contains a high amount of dietary cholesterol such as eggs, your body down-regulates it's internal production of cholesterol to balance things out.

On the other hand, if you don't eat enough cholesterol, your body simply produces more since cholesterol has tons of important functions in the body.

And here's where it gets even more interesting...

There are indications that eating whole eggs actually raises your good HDL cholesterol to a higher degree than LDL cholesterol, thereby improving your overall cholesterol ratio and blood chemistry.

And 3rd... high cholesterol is NOT a disease! Heart disease is a disease...but high cholesterol is NOT. You can read the following article about why trying to attack cholesterol is a mistake, and what the REAL deadly risk factors actually are...

http://www.truthaboutabs.com/cholesterol-myths.html

So I hope we've established that whole eggs are not some evil food that will wreck your body... instead whole eggs are FAR superior to egg whites.

Also, your normal supermarket eggs coming from mass factory farming just don't compare nutritionally with organic free range eggs from healthy chickens that are allowed to roam freely and eat a more natural diet.

I recently compared eggs I bought at the grocery store with a batch of eggs I got at a farm stand where the chickens were free roaming and healthy.

Most people don't realize that there's a major difference because they've never bought real eggs from healthy chickens... The eggs from the grocery store had pale yellow yolks. On the other hand, the healthier free range eggs had deep orange colored yolks indicating much higher nutrition levels and carotenoids.

So next time a health or fitness professional tells you that egg whites are superior, you can quietly ignore their advice knowing that you understand the REAL deal about egg yolks.

One more thing about eggs...

I read a study recently that compared groups of people that ate egg breakfasts vs groups of people that ate cereal or bagel based breakfasts. The results of the study showed that the egg eaters lost or maintained a healthier bodyweight, while the cereal/bagel eaters gained weight.

It was hypothesized that the egg eaters actually ate less calories during the remainder of the day because their appetite was more satisfied compared to the cereal/bagel eaters who would have been more prone to wild blood sugar swings and food cravings.

============================================================ Was last week's topic a Controversy?

If you missed last week's newsletter about my good friend Jon Benson's site at http://FavoriteFoodsDiet.com it seemed to cause a little stir with people thinking that this was just some sort of typical fad diet and that I've "sold out" in some way.

Come on! You should know me better than that by now. Fad diets are exactly what I stand AGAINST. If you read Jon's site more carefully, you'll see that what he has really developed here is a unique way of eating that you'll be able to stick with for LIFE... not some fad diet that will work for 3 weeks and then you fall off the bandwagon.

I assure you... I know Jon personally, and he is one of the innovators in this industry, and also what I consider to be one of the most knowledgeable nutrition professionals out there currently.

See his site for yourself and make your own decision...

I heading out in a few minutes to get some fresh air and a great workout wi= th my new found hobby of late -- snowshoeing!

I've been a skier for years, and just recently started taking up snowshoein= g and I love it! Not as exciting as skiing... but certainly stress-relievi= ng climbing up a snow covered mountain in the fresh air, just letting all t= he daily stresses out of your mind for a while.

Now what the heck was I talking about in the subject line with "swamp yogur= t"???

Well, this was yet another one of my healthy (but delicious) concoctions th= at I put together for lunch recently.

A couple of my friends saw the green concoction I was eating and called it = "swamp yogurt", which I thought was hilarious.

My recipe is a little weird for sure, but pretty damn tasty! Give it a try = before you automatically think you won't like it.

Anyway, here's what I mixed together:

* 1 cup plain full-fat yogurt (grass-fed, organic of course...as long as it= 's grass-fed don't worry about the full-fat) * 1/4 cup cottage cheese (for extra protein) * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1/2 cup frozen blueberries * 1/4 cup frozen sweet cherries * 1/4 cup raw pecans chopped * 1/2 to 1 teaspoon powdered spirulina (hence the green "swamp yogurt" look) * a little natural stevia to sweeten (I get mine at http://NaturallySweetSt= evia.com)

By the time you mix this all together, the blueberries and cherries have st= arted to soften enough and I really think this is a delicious mixture...plu= s it's simply a super-food concoction that you can't beat for nutrition!

If you don't know about Spirulina, it's a blue green algae that's absolutel= y loaded with vitamins, trace minerals, carotenoids, tons of antioxidants, = and more.

One great "green mixture" I found that you can try is called "Green Food Fe= ast" and can be found at the following site (it's dried without heat to pre= serve the nutrients):

http://nature.wildfamilynaturals.com (look under the left tab for this)

They've also got a ton of great products including virgin coconut oils (the= undisputed healthiest cooking oil by far).

Enjoy! This yogurt mix ends up delicious despite the deep green color.

1 More Reason People Are Overweight

Contributed by Mike Geary

I've mentioned before about how shocked I am at the daily decisions some people make that go directly against their efforts to lose fat and get lean (despite their claims that they are "trying everything").

Well, once again I'm baffled. Here's what I saw...

I was waiting for a flight last week, and I wanted to get something to eat before getting on a 3 hour flight back home. Even though I had some almonds and a couple whole food bars to snack on in my carry-on bag (I try to always be prepared with healthy snacks while traveling), I knew I was going to need something more substantial to eat to hold me over until I would get home later that night.

Although most of the places to eat in the airport were your typical chain fast food joints, I was lucky enough to stumble onto a small cafe that actually had some surprisingly healthy options.

Now here's what shocked me...

There was a fast food joint (mickey D's) right next to this healthy cafe. The line for the mickey D's was at least 20 people deep with everyone that got through the line stuffing their face with all sorts of deep fried nasty-ness.

However, there were only 2 people in the healthy cafe (and I was the 3rd)! Huh!?!

Now I do realize that in recent times, the major fast food chains are at least attempting to offer up some healthier options for people to choose from, but I can assure you from what I saw, nobody was choosing any of the healthy options over the deep fried junk.

Not only that, but as I scanned the long line of people waiting patiently for their chemical-laden trans fat infested "happy" meals, I noticed that not 1 single person was normal weight... every single person in the line was overweight!

I can also make the prediction that if you conducted a survey of those 20 overweight people waiting in the mickey D's line for their junk food, and asked them if they wanted to lose weight, probably at least 90% of them would tell you YES. The other 10% are the people that simply don't care at all about their health or their appearance.

So once again, this begs the question... if these people honestly do want to live healthier and lose their fat, why are they making the decision to eat at the fast food joints, when a cafe with healthy options was right there next to it, and didn't even have a line to wait in?

Perhaps it has to do with the clever marketing of fast food joints and that people are semi brainwashed into choosing the fast food over some non-chain which isn't branded into their heads?

Perhaps they can't resist the fast food joint once they smell the fried food?

Perhaps they feel that the healthy cafe would be too costly instead of the cheaper food at the fast food joint?

I'm not sure of the answer. Again, as with anything involving the mind and decisions, it is a complex subject.

I do think that the cost issue is ridiculous if you think about it. Maybe a fast food meal full of junk would cost you $4.00 and the healthy meal at the cafe would cost you $6.00. My thinking is... isn't it worth the extra $2.00 to eat something that will make you feel better, look better, and live longer?

Maybe I'm just crazy, but it just makes sense to me to pay a little more for quality.

Something to think about as you're out there on a daily basis making these types of decisions that will affect your health (and appearance).

Happy New Year! I hope you have the healthiest and happiest year yet in 200= 9.=20

In today's ezine, I'm going to show you an extremely powerful technique tha= t can help you break through your barriers and lose more body fat than you = thought was possible.

Between working as a personal trainer and nutrition counselor for almost a = decade, and authoring my best selling fitness book, Truth About Abs, over 2= 00,000 people have used my fitness programs. However, does every single pe= rson get results? Some get great results, some don't get any results... On= ly those that actually TAKE ACTION on the advice get results.=20

It doesn=E2=80=99t matter how well my fat loss techniques work... If you do= n=E2=80=99t follow them, you WON'T lose fat.=20

For my clients who have trouble sticking with a program, I give them a tech= nique that has nothing to do with nutrition or exercise. It=E2=80=99s somet= hing called medical hypnosis.=20

As I've said a thousand times before, your fitness all starts in your mind.= ... and that's where medical hypnosis can help to make it automatic for you = to take the right types of action that create long term results.

Now before you start thinking, =E2=80=9CWhy on earth is Mike recommending h= ypnosis...=E2=80=9D I want to clear up a common misconception. Medical hypn= osis has NOTHING to do with staring at the pendulum-like swing of a gold po= cket watch or falling into a suggestive trance. Don't worry, you won't hear= any crap about "you're getting very sleepy".=20

Medical hypnosis is a proven technique endorsed by the American Medical Ass= ociation and the British Medical Association. What=E2=80=99s more, it works= .. I=E2=80=99ve seen people use medical hypnosis to get focused on their die= t and follow it with almost no effort at all.=20=20

Instead of fighting and resisting your diet, you=E2=80=99ll feel good about= what you=E2=80=99re doing and stick with your program without even thinkin= g about it.

If you=E2=80=99re skeptical, I understand. Many people are when they first = hear about this. But I wouldn=E2=80=99t waste your time (or mine) with some= thing that doesn=E2=80=99t work.=20=20

I=E2=80=99ve read many of the studies on medical hypnosis for wt loss and t= he results speak for themselves. In one, researchers split people following= a diet into two groups. One used medical hypnosis, the other didn=E2=80=99= t. The group who used medical hypnosis lost an average of 17 pounds. The gr= oup that didn=E2=80=99t lost an average of only 0.5 pounds.

That=E2=80=99s not surprising... Being committed to the program you=E2=80= =99re following makes all the difference =E2=80=93 especially over the long= term. A study from the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology shows= medical hypnosis does just that: Improves your results over the long term.= =20

Their study found adding hypnosis increased wt loss by an average of 97% du= ring treatment. More importantly, medical hypnosis increased effectiveness = AFTER treatment by over 146%.=20

Clearly, this technique is even more effective over time. And as you know, = long-term commitment to any fitness program is the key to lasting fat loss.

The best medical hypnosis program was designed by America=E2=80=99s leading= expert in the field, Dr. Roberta Temes. In fact, she =E2=80=9Cwrote the bo= ok=E2=80=9D on the subject. She=E2=80=99s the editor of the first hypnosis = textbook used in medical schools, Medical Hypnosis. (Psychiatrists in train= ing are learning her techniques for medical hypnosis!)

Dr. Temes is also on the faculty of the Psychiatry Department in the Medica= l School of the SUNY Health Science Center. She=E2=80=99s also involved wit= h research on the behavioral factors involved with long-term wt loss.

Best of all, her program takes only 20 minutes per day and, simply by liste= ning to relaxing CDs, may help you automatically follow your fitness progra= m and regain your health.

This may not work for everyone, but it is something you should consider if = your previous attempts have been unsuccessful because you've resorted to pr= evious BAD HABITS.

Here are some of the experiences you may uncover if you go through Dr. Teme= s seven session program:

> Cravings can be reduced instantaneously, allowing you to stop binging before you start

> New neural pathways will be created that empower you to replace unhealthy eating habits with healthy ones=09=20

> Experience effortless motivation without relying on willpower=20

> Your desire for sodas will be eliminated and replaced with a craving for WATER!

> Pounds will melt away as you automatically eat the right foods and right portions, while making exercise a part of your every day routine.

Keeping an open mind allows you to grow in spirit and successfully overcome= challenges that may have been haunting you your whole life. =20 By special arrangement, Dr. Temes is offering you an exclusive discount on = her medical hypnosis for fat loss program.

P.S. Here are some good representations of the power of this program:

"I have used the program for just 10 days and have lost 6 lbs. What is most= amazing after all my failed attempts at weight loss is the ease of stickin= g with my program since using the CD's! For the first time in my adult life= I feel like I am in control of my response to food, and believe I am incor= porating all those healthy eating habits that have eluded me in the past. I= t feels wonderful to go through the day without obsessing over food, and fe= eling fulfilled rather than deprived. I can definitely see these as lifetim= e, lifestyle changes. Thank you for the wonderful tool!"

Angela Roberts Somerville, New Jersey

"I am now down 20 pounds and still have not had any problems with stress ea= ting (my lifetime habit is to overeat). I am also walking close to 5,000 st= eps per day now (a little over 2.5 miles) and into a size 16 from a 20/22 a= nd people are finally beginning to notice.

Are your workouts too hard or too weak too long?

Contributed by Mike Geary

I had a chat today with one of my long-time customers about her struggles with her workouts. Here's the basic problems she feels that she has been having...

She feels as though she's "stressed out" all the time about her workouts and if/when she's going to do them, and if she's doing them with enough intensity or actually overtraining.

Well, she did something for the past week that she hasn't done in a long time... she took the entire week off from all exercise. The interesting thing that she found was that she actually felt better overall, felt less stressed with not having to try to fit her workouts in, and also had a lot of aches and pains go away.

Right away this screams out to me that she was a classic case of overtraining.

So now she's confused as to whether she should keep working out at all or possibly just try to workout with less intensity.

Here was my response to her:

First of all, you definitely should take "off weeks" every couple of months. I do that all the time, although for me, I usually like to make it coincide with some sort of vacation.

When I do it, I usually do about 10 days with no weight training at all. If I get any exercise at all, it's just recreational activities or sports. This really helps not only your body to recover, but also gives your mind a break from intense training.

Also, it sounds like one of your problems is that you're "stressing out" about getting your workouts in. I think that's the wrong mindset, and you should actually be looking forward to your workouts instead. So maybe start thinking about how you can actually look forward to enjoying your workouts instead of stressing out about them or dreading them.

Like I've mentioned before, I actually can't wait to do my workouts I'm so excited about them sometimes. Sounds weird I know, but that's the mindset I have about it.

I love "mixing it up" and it really keeps it interesting... sometimes I like just doing standard weight training routines, sometimes doing all kettlebells, sometimes doing all bodyweight exercises, sometimes doing all outdoor workouts, sometimes doing circuits, sometimes powerlifting, sometimes bodybuilding style training, etc, etc, etc.

There's just so many different ways to train, it certainly never needs to be boring.

Anyway, back to your original question... it sounds like your layoff was much needed since you're feeling better during your week off. However, that doesn't mean that your entire life should be a layoff. You still are going to want to do intense workouts a portion of the time and resistance training should still be a regular part of your routines since it is so important for overall health, strength, and maintaining low body fat levels.

It just sounds like your body and mind needed a break and you might have been a little overtrained.

Also, make sure that you're varying or cycling the intensity of your workouts on a regular basis. Always trying to train at the highest intensity levels is a sure-fire way to overtrain and also make yourself dread the workouts.

I like to think of a cycle (such as a 6 week cycle) as a gradual building of intensity with a "peaking" of intensity towards the end of a cycle... And then within each week should be days that are higher and lower intensity too so that you're not burning out the nervous system.

I'd definitely recommend keeping the resistance training in your workouts on a regular basis, but just find ways to use variety to keep things interesting, and also use different intensity levels regularly, as well as scheduled off-weeks about every 2-3 months for total recovery. I think that's your winning combo. ============

I think the take away from today's topic is to take a look at how hard you've been training and decide if it's time to step things up a notch or perhaps back off and take a week to 10 days off if you think you've been overtraining.

No doubt that after your time off, you'll have a nice refreshed body as well as a renewed enthusiasm for your workouts. Works every time!

Here's another article of mine on a unique style of workout you've probably never thought of (and it's quite a time saver too!):

Unique Style of Pushups Pullups Bodyweight Exercises - 21 Sec Rep

I just got back a few days ago from a week's vacation on the Baja peninsula= of Mexico racing Baja1000 dune buggies through the mountains, deserts, and= coastlines... what an amazing trip! I even got to ride in a car with Jesse= James of Monster Garage fame while he really pushed the car to the limits = sliding through turns and launching off of jumps... that was a blast!

We had some great scenery too while driving through mountains, cactus field= s in the desert, dried up lake beds hitting offroad speeds of 95 MPH, pine = forests in the highlands, and along the beaches of the coastline... beautif= ul scenery!

So since I was on vacation for the week, this was my planned "off-week" fro= m working out. I took a full 8 days off of training to let my body have a b= reak from the resistance training. I do this about 3 times a year, and it'= s something I feel is important to keep your gains in the gym coming year r= ound...otherwise you can burn out if your workouts aren't cycled properly.

You actually usually feel stronger when you come back to training after a w= eek off.=20

**Now for today's tip on the unique style of repetitions for bodyweight exe= rcises (this can be applied to any other exercises too):

I've used this style of repetitions for pushups and pullups mostly, but can= also be used for squats, etc. It's TOTALLY DIFFERENT from your typical st= yle of repetitions.

Think of how most people would do a set of pushups or pullups...they would = crank out the reps almost as fast as they can until they burn out...most pe= ople would actually use a rep speed of faster than 1 second up and 1 second= down.

Now here's how you do my alternative style of repetitions:

Let's take the pushup for example...=20

*You take a full 10 seconds to lower yourself to the bottom position, movin= g slowly throughout the range of motion over that full 10 seconds.=20

*Then, you hold the bottom contracted position for another full 10 seconds = (an inch or two off of the ground, so that the muscles are still in an isom= etric contraction).

*Then, you do the concentric portion of the pushup (pressing up) as fast as= possible.

So, all in all, 1 pushup repetition will take you 21 seconds approximately.= For most people, 2 to 3 pushups in one set is all they'll be able to do in= this unique style of reps. If you do 3 reps in one set, that's basically = about 1 minute time-under-tension for your muscles.

This exact method can be used to get some variety into your pullup training= .... instead of just cranking out your reps as fast as you can like most peo= ple do... try pulling up powerfully for the 1st rep, holding the top positi= on of the pullup for 10 seconds, and then slowly lowering for 10 full secon= ds. Try to do 2 reps per set like this if you are strong enough.

Most people can not even do 1 repetition like this for pullups, so if you c= an't do the full 10 seconds of hold and 10 seconds down, just do whatever t= ime you can, and build up to longer times for subsequent workouts.

You can also alternate these "super-slow" sets of pushups with super-slow s= ets of pullups... 3-5 sets of each, and you have one of the best upper body= workouts you've ever done!

There you have it... a cool new repetition scheme to help break you out of = your workout rut. Give it a try for a couple weeks, and I think you'll see= some new results.

You should also check out my friend Jon Benson's unique style of training t= hat he has put together at:

http://7MinuteMuscleProgram.com

The workouts he has there use some really cool rep/set timing schemes and g= reat progressions. I like to use these workouts for a few cycles per year t= o mix up my routines and break out of a rut.

I'll be back in a few days with more Lean-Body Secrets for you to use.

Talk to you soon,

I know most of us tend to like really quick and simple tips to eat healthie= r or exercise more effectively. Stuff that you can take action on immediat= ely, and by using more and more tips over time, can really improve your bod= y and health.

So I'm going to try to start mixing in some short newsletters that are just= quicker little tips here and there... quicker than normal length newslette= rs. I think you'll enjoy them!

For today, I just wanted to let you know about some of the great breads tha= t I use that are much healthier than your normal breads (even the so-called= whole wheat breads).

First of all, I believe it's best to limit breads and grains in our diets a= s much as possible. Grains in high quantities are fairly new to the human d= iet (in the last 5,000 years or so)... compared to the historical diet of h= umans, which was mostly hunter/gatherer based for much longer periods of ti= me (meats, fruits, vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds). Therefore, our genes= are still programmed for mostly a hunter/gatherer type diet, even though t= he modern diet that most people eat (high in grains and sugar) is drastical= ly different.

With that said, most of us still like our breads and don't want to give the= m up altogether. So, I choose breads that are super high fiber and also hig= her in protein. I also try to choose sprouted grain breads as much as poss= ible (the sprouting of the grains helps to reduce the anti-nutrients in nor= mal bread such as phytates).

One of the breads that I choose most often is Ezekial Sprouted Grain bread,= which is becoming more available, not just in health food stores anymore.

My other favorite healthier bread is from a brand called French Meadow Bake= ry. I realize this one may be hard to find at anything other than a Whole = Foods or other health food store, but here's some of what it contains in ca= se you find something similar:

per slice: 7 gms protein, 9 gms total carbs, 4 gms fiber (wow, almost 50% f= iber to total carbs ratio), 2.5 gms healthy fats.

Compare that to normal bread (even whole wheat bread), which has a lot less= protein and fiber, and a lot more processed starch.

some of the healthy ingredients: various mixed sprouted grains, sesame see= ds, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, kamut, spelt, oat fiber, etc.

I like these breads best with some almond butter and topped with fresh berr= ies for an extremely healthy snack mid-day.

If you liked these ideas today, please feel free to fwd this email to your = friends, family, or co-workers.

I was at a conference for fitness professionals a few months ago in Florida= and I had the pleasure of meeting a fitness pro named Holly Rigsby. Holly = is a busy mom who also manages to keep herself in spectacular shape... so s= he actually does practice what she preaches.

I asked Holly to contribute an article to the newsletter so we could give s= ome special attention to the busy moms.

**Fitness Faux Pas; What NOT to do** By Holly Rigsby, CPT

Author - http://FitYummyMom.com

Listen up Ladies=E2=80=93 Just like the popular fashion show on TLC " What = NOT to Wear'" you are about to get a large dose of "What NOT to Do" if your goal is to boost your metabolism, shed fat and achieve results in the shortest time possible.

Is this you? Get ready, because I am about to call you out on the Top 3 Mistakes you are making that can destroy your metabolism, zap your energy and keep your body soft and flabby.

Hours of Cardio?=20 =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 Cardio is not the end-all be-all solution to fat loss. Working longer and harder will not help you lose fat =E2=80=93 in fact it can make you sto= re more fat! We have gotten hung up on the notion of "calories burned". This causes us to obsessively look for ways to increase calorie burn in the hopes that we are also burning more fat. Unfortunately you are only risking the loss of muscle and receive little to no increase in your metabolism once you stop.

Besides, why would you want to torture yourself with the unnerving thoughts of minutes needed to burn fat. What if you miss a day or eat too much? My buddy Craig Ballantyne refers to this punishment as the "Cardio Confessional". We've all done it, but what results has this habit rendered?

It's not how many calories you can burn per exercise, but how many calories you burn 24-7. You already possess the most powerful fat burner =E2=80=93 your muscle! So why punish yourself and risk the loss of y= our fat burning potential? Toss the notion of long bouts of cardio out the window. INTENSITY is the KEY to getting the most out of your cardio in the least amount of time. So revamp your cardio program with new, energizing short burst intervals!

Target the Trouble Spots?

Jennifer Garner's toned arms and Fergie's fab abs are not created by some "magic:" exercise that mysteriously melts fat off a particular area of the body. It is time to banish the "Spot Reduction Myth" once and for all.

There simply is no "one" exercise that acts like a "magic eraser" to rid your body parts of unsightly fat. That's not how the body works. If you want to loose fat, you instead need to challenge all of the muscles in your body to boost your metabolism, so you lose fat all over.

When it comes to fat loss, isolated, shaping exercises are a waste of your time. Just because you "feel the burn" does not mean you ARE burning the fat. One of the most effective ways in which to maximize your fat-burning potential is through full body, short burst resistance training. By working several muscle groups at once, short burst resistance training saves time, skyrockets your energy levels and incinerates fat and calories.

Resistant to Resistance Training?

"I don't want to bulk up, I just want to get toned"

Let's think about what you are saying here. Toned, simply means you have shed the fat that once covered your muscles =E2=80=93 so we can see yo= ur muscle definition. Muscle gives your body a lean, tight shape.

No you will not bulk up like a man. Women simply do not have enough testosterone to get "bulky" nor, typically do they spend enough time with weights to look anything other than lean, toned and firm. The only reason some women feel like they look bulky is because they have excess body fat while building muscle, but are not eating in a way that supports fat loss.

Plus, muscle takes up less space than fat. The quickest way to drop a jean size is to incorporate short burst resistance training into your fitness routine.

If muscle makes you cringe, then you need to get used to a thin, soft, flabby body. For lean, toned, fit bodies have low body fat and a lot of lean muscle.

Instead of working hours on end month after month for little if any results, try eliminating these fitness faux pas from your program and start letting your body work for you to achieve your fat loss goals.

Are your food tastes making you fatter?

Are you "addicted" to overly aggressive food tastes? Is this making you fat= ter over time? Let's take a look...

You've probably noticed that I like to talk about food... and healthy eatin= g in particular. I've always said that healthy eating does NOT have to be b= oring and bland, and if you know a few preparation tricks, can actually be = exciting and delicious.

Many people seem to falsely believe that they'll never be able to get lean = if they don't eat what is thought to be typical bodybuilder fare -- dry pla= in chicken breasts, plain broccoli, tuna fish, oatmeal, etc. If you've read= my newsletters for some time, you know that I'm against this type of borin= g menu, and like to give healthy meal ideas that have a little more appeal.

However, here is one of the most important things you can do for yourself i= f you want to eat healthier for life and make it a HECK OF A LOT easier to = get lean and stay that way permanently...

LEARN TO ADJUST YOUR TASTE BUDS TO ENJOY THE NATURAL UNADULTERATED TASTE OF= REAL FOOD... UNPROCESSED FOOD

This is one of the main problems that I see so many people face with being = able to control their eating... they have grown up with processed foods and= additives that are excessively AGGRESSIVE TASTES.

*So many foods have excessive added sugars, corn syrups, artificial sweeten= ers, etc *So many foods have excessive added trans fats, refined vegetable oils, and= other processed fats *So many foods are laden with excessive (and potentially dangerous) flavor = enhancers such as MSG and processed commercial salt

All of this massive onslaught of overly aggressive tastes have rendered mos= t people's taste buds senseless when it comes to the natural taste of real = unprocessed foods.

I was having brunch with a couple friends recently and I noticed one of the= m dumped this huge heaping spoonful of sugar into their coffee. I can't eve= n imagine being able to gag down a coffee that was so heavily loaded with s= ugar.

Even diet drinks (which I'd never drink because of the harmful artificial s= weeteners) are so excessively sweet these days, they're not even refreshing= .. I can't understand how people can drink something that tastes like pure s= yrup.

Here's a quick quiz to see if you're officially addicted to overly aggressi= ve tastes:

1. If given the choice, would you choose: a. sausage or hot dog b. steak, burger, or chicken breast

2. Do you prefer: a. sweetened tea or coffee (with added sugar or artificial sweeteners) b. unsweetened tea or black coffee

3. If given a choice for dessert, do you prefer: a. cake, pie, or ice cream b. a piece of fruit

4. If you like chocolate, do you prefer: a. milk chocolate b. extra dark chocolate

I could think of more, but that'll do for now... If you answered a's more t= han you answered b's, then you may be addicted to overly aggressive tastes,= and that could be making you pack on more lbs indirectly.

One of the main problems is that needing to eat aggressive tasting foods me= ans that all of that extra salt, MSG, added processed fats, sugars, and art= ificial sweeteners are playing havok with your hormones, and making you cra= ve extra calories that your body doesn't need.

Don't worry though, it CAN be easy to wean yourself off of these aggressive= tastes. I've successfully done it.=20

About 5 years ago, I'd have called you crazy if you said I'd ever be drinki= ng unsweetened tea or black coffee... I always needed to add a sweetener ba= ck then... but now, I actually PREFER to drink them both unsweetened.=20

What I did was just slightly reduce the amount of sweetener I added over ti= me, and eventually I got used to using none, and actually started to prefer= the natural taste of coffee or tea instead of just tasting the sweetness.

Now you can start to see how this all ties back into enjoying the REAL tast= e of food (or drink) instead of the ADDITIVES in food!

My recommendations for your leaner healthier body:

*Enjoy the taste of real meats, such as grass-fed steaks, fish, chicken bre= asts, pork tenderloin... instead of needing the aggressive tastes of the ad= ditives in sausages, hot dogs, deli meats, and other processed meats.

*Start to enjoy the taste of the actual coffee or tea instead of the taste = of the sugar or artificial sweetener.

*Start drinking water or unsweetened tea with meals (instead of soda or swe= etened drinks) at least every other day, and try to increase that to every = day eventually.

*Use herbs and spices in your cooking instead of heavy use of salt.

*Try to wean yourself off of cakes, pies, candies, and other sweets... Eat = mostly fruit or small amounts of super-dark chocolate instead.

*Avoid any and all deep fried foods and processed starch-based side dishes = - mac & cheese, scalloped potatoes, etc.

Even doing just some of these simple tips can help you to change your taste= s over time and help to overcome your addiction to the overly aggressive ta= stes that food marketers have pushed on us our entire lives.

I hope these ideas help you to eat healthier in 2009!

**One more note for today...

I wanted to congratulate all of my readers who have achieved phenomenal res= ults and changed their body and mind by using my TruthAboutAbs program. I g= et stories in all the time about these successes.

Anybody can get great results too... you're not "cursed with a slow metabol= ism"... that's a lame cop-out from people that are too lazy to take action = and change their body.

I'm really proud of one of my readers who just recently sent me his latest = pictures...

Check out the 3 pictures of Leith on this page showing his transformation:

>> http://www.truthaboutabs.com/testimonials.html

You can see that these aren't any kind of "staged" before/afters... these a= re simply his legit pics which even show the dates automatically from the c= amera readout.

These are the kind of results that you can get if you actually take action = on REAL workouts and REAL nutrition and stop searching for some kind of mir= acle pill (which will never exist).

Lose fat and build muscle with this

Contributed by Mike Geary

I've been on a golf trip with some buddies down in Myrtle Beach, SC over the past week, and I decided to stay a few extra days to relax by the beach, catch up on some reading, and do some swimming.

Even though I love living in the mountains of Colorado, and the active outdoor lifestyle and clean fresh air that comes with it, I sometimes miss being near the ocean. So this week I've been taking advantage of staying at the beach and have been doing my workouts actually on the beach (and just a little bit in the weight room).

I've really been enjoying these workouts as a nice change of pace and also the different atmosphere.

In the mornings, I've just been going out for a nice long walk on the beach to wake up for the day. Nothing strenuous...just more of a relaxing walk enjoying the ocean air and the scenery.

But in the evenings, I've been doing the real workouts. I've actually been using Jon Benson's new innovative 7 Minute Muscle style workouts in the gym... http://7MinuteMuscleProgram.com

These workouts are a lot more effective than I initially thought when I first heard of Jon's concept... they can really leave you whooped if you train with enough intensity during them.

After the 7MM style workouts, I've been heading out on the beach to finish the workout with about 15-20 minutes of wind sprints and some pushups and lunges mixed in. Training on the beach while watching the sunset has actually been a pretty motivating environment for me this week.

Now here's the important thing I've noticed about Jon's 7MM workouts...

I actually don't agree with all of the exercises recommended in the routines... for example, any smith machine exercises as well as leg presses I don't feel are very effective exercises for many reasons.

However, that's not the point... The point is that the CONCEPT of the unique method that Jon uses to formulate the routines is incredible, and something that I've never seen in any other programs.

The fact that you can exhaust your muscles in only 7 minutes using this style is pretty cool indeed.

Although I agree with about 75% of the exercises chosen in the routines, for the 25% that I don't agree with (such as the smith machine exercises, the leg presses, etc), I simply make substitutions with dumbbell or barbell exercises that I do agree with.

For example, if the protocol calls for a smith machine bench press, I'll substitute a free-weighted barbell or dumbbell press (incline or flat). If the routine calls for a leg press or a smith machine squat, I'll instead substitute a barbell squat (front or back) or perhaps a dumbbell lunge.

My opinion on the 7 Minute Muscle Program as a whole is that this is a great program to use to give your body a new type of stimulus since the training style is so different from most routines. It could really shock your body into new results. I definitely recommend giving it a try if your ready for something new.

Go here to grab a copy:

http://7MinuteMuscleProgram.com

Keep in mind that the most important part of the book is the entire middle portion where Jon describes his unique "3-Flow Process" about the mental part of your training. This is vitally important and super-powerful stuff. I'll even admit that this technique alone has really jumpstarted my workout intensity and results once again.

Enjoy, and good luck!

I'll be back soon with more Lean-Body Secrets.

A common food that boosts your metabolism

Contributed by Mike Geary

**How Your Spice Cabinet Can Boost Your Metabolism**

I've written before about the power of certain herbs and spices in terms of antioxidant capacity and other health benefits. If you remember, I wrote a couple months ago about the super-food status of cinnamon and how powerful a health food (or rather spice) that it can be.

The next super-spice -- Chili!

I was just reading about a recent Australian study that documented how you can burn more calories, increase your metabolism slightly, and help control your blood sugar and insulin levels by including chili peppers and chili spice (or cayenne) in your foods.

Keep in mind, this may be a minor "detail", but when you add up a lot of these types of "details", you can make significant changes to your body over time.

As you've probably heard in the past, the active ingredient in chili pepper (capsaicin) can cause slight increases in your metabolic rate and calorie burning from a meal. This has been reported many times in both animal and human studies.

However, in this Australian study, Madeleine J. Ball, MD, one of the researchers from the study, sought to find out how chili pepper affected blood sugar and insulin response after a meal.

As you know, chronically high insulin levels in your body can not only cause deposition of excess body fat, but also can lead to diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

The study was split into groups of subjects that ate meals without chili spice, and other groups of subjects that ate meals with chili pepper.

As it turned out, the chili pepper eating groups had lower insulin levels and more stable blood sugar after the meals than the groups that ate the same food without chile. According to Dr. Ball, "the chili is probably having some effect on the ability of the body to clear -- or remove -- insulin from the bloodstream".

Aside from the temporary calorie burning boost and insulin controlling response, apparently chili pepper also has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties...

So if you can handle a bit of spicyness, go ahead and enjoy adding some extra cayenne or chili pepper to your pot of meat & bean chili, your morning eggs, meat dishes, and other meals, knowing it's possibly giving you a slight edge in the fat burning department. One of my favorite meals that I've been eating a lot of lately is my home-made chili. I make big batches of it, and that leaves leftovers for quick and healthy meals whenever you need them.

If fact, I make my own extra healthy version of chili where I use grassfed ground beef or bison. I get all of my grassfed meats online at:

http://healthygrassfed.2ya.com

If you missed the newsletter a few weeks ago about why grass-fed meats are healthier than the typical meats at the grocery store, here's the article...

A workout technique for crazy results in 7 minutes-day

Contributed by Mike Geary

I just finished reading a great new book written by my good friend and world-renowned fitness/nutrition expert Jon Benson. It's called "7 Minute Muscle" - http://7MinuteMuscleProgram.com

I have to say that I was shocked with how unique Jon's new fitness program is.

First of all, being the exercise junky that I am, I've read just about every workout program in existance over the last 20 years or so (and tried most of them too). I've tried everything from standard rep/set schemes to near-max 1RM training, German volume training, the 5x5 method, Single-Set training, pure powerlifting programs, high volume "pump" bodybuilding training, various forms of "density" training, 20-rep methods, etc, etc.

The cool thing is that Jon has come up with a method of training that is uniquely different from most of these methods.

He actually combined research he did from well over 100 books and dozens of research journal studies on almost every method of training possible to formulate what he feels is one of the best ways to build lean sexy muscle throughout your body in as little time commitment as possible.

In fact, he developed these workouts to give you maximum results in as little as 7 minutes/day. Of course, depending on your level of fitness and your goals, these programs can actually be modified to 14 minutes or 21 minutes.

Either way, this unique style of workout can save you a LOT OF TIME compared with the typical 60 or 90 minute workout programs that many people do 3 - 4 or more times per week.

Jon goes over everything you need to know in this program, including:

*The optimal set and rep schemes to build lean muscle and burn fat in as little as 7-minute workouts

*The truth about HIT training

*Resistance variation in your workouts

*The best types of training to keep your joints stronger with less risk of injury

*How to modify the routines to continuously avoid boredom in your workouts

*Why the 7MM programs can actually help you to sleep better

*How to decrease your stress hormones and increase your fat burning & muscle building hormones

*A specific training technique found in studies that you can do after each set that increases growth hormone (one of the most important fat burning and muscle building hormones in your body) above and beyond the way most people do a weight training set

*One of the problems with "training to failure"

*and dozens more secrets about training in the most effective and time-efficient manner possible

However, here's what really blew me away about Jon's 7 Minute Muscle Program...

He goes WAY BEYOND WORKOUTS, and delves into some incredible material about how our brains are actually affecting our workout results... and some secrets you can use to train your mind in a manner that will give you 10x better results than you've ever experienced before.

Remember in last week's newsletter how I mentioned that I recently discovered that the reason I have no problem avoiding junk food and always eating healthy has more to do with what's going on in my mind rather than just simple willpower or discipline...

Well, in addition to nutrition, your mind is also controlling how much you enjoy exercise and the results you get from your workouts.

This was actually a really fascinating portion of the program and what I feel to be the most important part. If you've struggled to get results no matter what exercise program you try, this may be the missing link for you. This goes way beyond just "positive thinking" and "visualization". You'll see what I mean when you read the program.

You can check it out here:

http://7MinuteMuscleProgram.com

Enjoy!

I'll be back in a couple days with more training, nutrition, and mindset tips for a leaner, healthier body.

Til then, Don't be lazy... be lean.

Before I get to today's article, let me tell you about my butt kicking work= out today.

As you may know, I'm a die hard skier in the winter, and we got almost 2 FE= ET of fresh powder today in Colorado... a powder day to me is like a day at= an amusement park for a kid.=20

If you don't ski, you may not understand the natural high that comes to us = skiers on a powder day...

It's almost a euphoric feeling to be floating around on the powder all day = long...and you hear nothing but whoops, yells, and "woo-hoo's" of sheer joy= all around you...

but it's also an incredible workout. Each run is like a 10 minute high inte= nsity "mini" interval training workout... followed by a 15 minute rest up t= he lifts, and repeated all day long.

If I got in 15 runs today, that's like 15 mini interval training workouts s= pread throughout the day! Now you know why overweight skiers basically don= 't exist (at least the skiers that are good, and do it frequently).

Just another example of getting your exercise with something fun that you e= njoy. For me, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and lifting weights are all = part of my lifesyle. Find what you enjoy, and you've found lifelong fitnes= s.

If you're a skier and want rock hard legs that last all day long on your ne= xt ski trip, make sure to use my new training program: http://avalancheski= training.com

Or even if you're not a skier, and just want some crazy effective leg worko= uts!

The World's Most Unusual Therapist

Contributed by Dr. Joe Vitale

Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients -- without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.

When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best self-improvement master cure the criminally insane?

It didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.

However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian healing process called ho 'oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more.

I had always understood "total responsibility" to mean that I am responsible for what I think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people think of total responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does. The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill people would teach me an advanced new perspective about total responsibility.

His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent an hour talking on our first phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete story of his work as a therapist. He explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years. That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous. Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with their backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a pleasant place to live, work, or visit.

Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed to have an office and to review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal.

"After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely," he told me. "Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications. And those who had no chance of ever being released were being freed."

I was in awe.

"Not only that," he went on, "but the staff began to enjoy coming to work. Absenteeism and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than we needed because patients were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today, that ward is closed."

This is where I had to ask the million dollar question: "What were you doing within yourself that caused those people to change?"

"I was simply healing the part of me that created them," he said.

I didn't understand.

Dr. Len explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life - simply because it is in your life--is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation.

Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible for what I say or do is one thing. Being responsible for what everyone in my life says or does is quite another. Yet, the truth is this: if you take complete responsibility for your life, then everything you see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is your responsibility because it is in your life.

This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy--anything you experience and don't like--is up for you to heal. They don't exist, in a manner of speaking, except as projections from inside you. The problem isn't with them, it's with you, and to change them, you have to change you.

I know this is tough to grasp, let alone accept or actually live. Blame is far easier than total responsibility, but as I spoke with Dr. Len, I began to realize that healing for him and in ho 'oponopono means loving yourself. If you want to improve your life, you have to heal your life. If you want to cure anyone--even a mentally ill criminal--you do it by healing you.

I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. What was he doing, exactly, when he looked at those patients' files?

"I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again," he explained.

That's it?

That's it.

Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, your improve your world. Let me give you a quick example of how this works: one day, someone sent me an email that upset me. In the past I would have handled it by working on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to reason with the person who sent the nasty message. This time, I decided to try Dr. Len's method. I kept silently saying, "I'm sorry" and "I love you," I didn't say it to anyone in particular. I was simply evoking the spirit of love to heal within me what was creating the outer circumstance.

Within an hour I got an e-mail from the same person. He apologized for his previous message. Keep in mind that I didn't take any outward action to get that apology. I didn't even write him back. Yet, by saying "I love you," I somehow healed within me what was creating him.

I later attended a ho 'oponopono workshop run by Dr. Len. He's now 70 years old, considered a grandfatherly shaman, and is somewhat reclusive. He praised my book, The Attractor Factor. He told me that as I improve myself, my book's vibration will raise, and everyone will feel it when they read it. In short, as I improve, my readers will improve.

"What about the books that are already sold and out there?" I asked.

"They aren't out there," he explained, once again blowing my mind with his mystic wisdom. "They are still in you."

In short, there is no out there.

It would take a whole book to explain this advanced technique with the depth it deserves. Suffice it to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there's only one place to look: inside you.

"When you look, do it with love."
