Metaphysics &#038; Brain science merge and prove that positive thinking and goal setting literally create your body and your entire life experience<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>On recently broadcast special edition of CNN&#8217;s Larry King Live, Mr. King interviewed a panel of &#8220;mind experts&#8221; about how the thoughts you think literally turn into the events you experience, the material things you possess&#8230; AND even the health of your body.</p>
<p>For years, &#8220;positive thinking&#8221; and goal-setting were often criticized as &#8220;pollyanna&#8221; and &#8220;the law of attraction&#8221; was relegated into the category of &#8220;new age&#8221; fluff.</p>
<p>On the recent Larry King show, panel experts Bob Proctor, John Assaraf and others who were featured in the movie &#8216;The Secret&#8217; explained that recent breakthroughs in neuroscience along with understanding mental laws, reveal why goal setting, the &#8220;law of attraction&#8221; and &#8220;positive thinking&#8221; all work, regardless of whether you look at them from a metaphysical or a scientific perspective.</p>
<p>Scientists have even identified specific parts of the brain, such as the reticular activating system (RAS), which works with the visual parts of our brain to call our conscious attention to things that are important to reaching our goals and to filter out those things that are unimportant.</p>
<p>The RAS is activated by &#8220;programming&#8221; goals into our sub-conscious minds. Our sub concscious mind is the &#8220;power center&#8221; and THIS is the mechanism that explains why goal setting and positive thinking are now being accepted as scientific methods for change.</p>
<p>We are discovering that our brain is cybernetic in nature, which means that it is literally like a computer, waiting for a program to be installed.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the kicker - the subconcsious is completely neutral and impartial - it will carry out any instructions you give it.</p>
<p><a id="more-40"></a></p>
<p>Unfortunately, many of us are still running negative programs we picked up from others as children when our non-conscious minds were totally open and impressionable, or which we developed over the years as a result of repetition of our own negative thinking.</p>
<p>As it turns out, our own thoughts, repeated daily, are one of the primary ways that our &#8220;mental computer&#8221; is programmed on a sub-conscious level, which is the level of beliefs, habits and automatic behavior.</p>
<p>To change your results, you must overwrite old negative programming and install positive new programming into your subconscious.</p>
<p>This can be achived through such techniques as written goal setting, positive self-talk (affirmations), and mental imagery (visualization).</p>
<p>In the 1970&#8217;s, the Soviets and East Germans were the first to formally use structured mental rehearsal, and at that time, they dominated in several olympic sports. This was reported in great detail in Charles Garfield&#8217;s landmark book, &#8220;Peak Performance.&#8221; Today, virtually all elite athletes use visualization extensively, as we now know that the brain cannot differentiate between real practice and practice that is vividly imagined.</p>
<p>If you are getting more of the same negative results in your life - such as the same health problems, or the same body fat continues to return even after you lose it, then you have probably been un-consciously running old negative programs and re-inforcing them with negative thought patterns.</p>
<p>You can begin the positive mental reprogramming process by writing down your goals, changing your internal dialogue and taking a few minutes to relax, quiet your mind and perform a session of visualization or mental rehearsal every day (seeing yourself in your &#8220;mind&#8217;s eye&#8221; not as you currently are, but as you ideally would like to be).</p>
<p>These methods, repeated often enough, will begin to program the non- conscious portion of the mind, which is the same part of the mind that controls your heart beat, digestion and new cell production, all on &#8220;automatic pilot.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the last decade, neuroscientists discovered that you have the capacity to create an almost infinite number of new neural connections in your brain when you run new thought patterns.</p>
<p>The Old neural pathways are like grooves in a record, and if you are struggling with your health related behaviors or behaviors in any other area of your life, you have been playing the &#8220;old records&#8221; over and over again.</p>
<p>If you were to carve a new groove into that record, it would never play the same way again. the old pattern would weaken and the new one would take over. Brand new, positive thoughts, feelings and images begin to create new neural patterns.</p>
<p>Psychologists estimate that it takes 21 to 30 days to establish a new pattern in your brain. During this time, the focus on sticking with your practice and repeating your new thought patterns is critical.</p>
<p>Is this easy? For most people, no it&#8217;s not. In fact, controlling your thinking and keeping it constructive may be one of the most difficult challenges you have ever faced. Fortunately, writing goals and reading affirmations can help get you started.</p>
<p>You can take some of the pressure off yourself by simply accepting that negative thoughts and self criticisms will pop up from time to time. Just observe them, without mulling over them or adding to them, and change the polarity of the thought by quickly repeating one of your positive affirmations or by changing your mental pictures.</p>
<p>So is there something to this whole &#8220;positive thinking&#8221; thing?</p>
<p>The philosophers and theologians have been saying yes for the entire span of recorded history: &#8220;As you think, so shall you be.&#8221; Variations on this proverb can be found in every spiritual and philosophical tradition.</p>
<p>But&#8230; if you are the left-brained, &#8220;prove-it-to-me&#8221; type, you dont have to go on faith anymore. Scientists are beginning to prove more and more convincingly that thoughts are powerful things. Even Larry King seemed impressed with what his panel of &#8220;mind mentors&#8221; had to say.</p>
<p>So how soon are you going to begin your mental training right alongside your physical training? When are you going to learn how to harness this power locked up inside your mind?</p>
<p>Guess what? You&#8217;re already using this force every day because you cannot turn it off. Whatever you are thinking and picturing in your mind repeatedly on a daily basis is already on it&#8217;s way to you, so it&#8217;s simply a matter of HOW you are using it, not IF you are using it.</p>
<p>What do you say to yourself every day? Do you say, &#8220;I am becoming leaner, healthier and more muscular every day?&#8221;&#8230; or do you say &#8220;I am a fat person - Ive tried everything, nothing ever works?&#8221;</p>
<p>The fact is - you can think yourself thin and healthy or you can think yourself obese and ill. Maybe not in the literal sense&#8230;but most certainly as the critical part in the chain of causation&#8230;</p>
<p>You see, there&#8217;s a lot of talk these days in the personal improvement world about law of attraction, manifesting, intention, visualization, affirmations and of course, positive thinking.</p>
<p>Without understanding that there is an orderly, scientific basis underneath all of these things, many people will simply remain skeptics, while on the opposite extreme, others may get the idea that you can sit around meditating and visualizing, then expect a mystical &#8220;law of attraction&#8221; to kick in and then &#8220;poof!&#8221; a great body materializes out of thin air&#8230; along with the perfect relationship, a nice bank account and fantastic career success.</p>
<p>What really happens is &#8220;Positive thinking&#8221; and related methods quite literally re-program your brain, which in turn creates new behaviors that move you physically toward whatever you have been thinking about and focusing on.</p>
<p>So success is achieved through positive thinking + positive doing&#8230;. attraction + action. There are two sides to the coin. Without paying attention to both, you may continue to struggle&#8230; often against nothing but yourself.</p>
<p>If you want to transform your body or any other aspect of your life, then you have to change on the inside (the mind) first and then everything else will follow.</p>
<p>This process of *scientific* goal setting and mental reconditioning through emotionally charged mental imagery (visualization) and internal mental dialogue (affirmations) is the very first thing I have always taught my clients and the first thing I wrote about in my book, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle You can learn all of these techniques in detail in chapter 1.

<strong>QUESTION: </strong>Hi Tom: I love albacore tuna or salmon. Do you have any concern about the levels of mercury now being found in tuna and in larger fish? I still eat them. I&#8217;d have to quit eating to avoid all the things wrong with food. I’ve never been too environmentally minded, but I found myself perturbed that the fish are becoming toxic, little by little. My vegetarian daughter is our family environmentalist, and I&#8217;m on her side on this one. Recently there was an article in our paper suggesting that the breast milk of a nursing mother, could now be considered toxic in a high percentage of cases. If true, a sad indictment of our society.</p>
<p><strong>ANSWER: </strong>According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the fish most likely to be contaminated with unsafe levels of mercury are those highest up on the food chain, including shark, king mackerel, tilefish and swordfish. These larger, longer-lived predatory fish feed on the smaller fish and retain in their bodies the contaminants that were in the small fish.</p>
<p align="justify">The FDA released a mercury advisory warning in 1994, which advised the public that these fish were safe as part of a balanced diet if eaten no more than once per week. In 2001, the FDA upgraded their advisory, recommending that pregnant women, nursing women or women of childbearing age who may become pregnant, avoid the high-risk fish completely because mercury can harm the nervous system of a developing unborn baby.</p>
<p align="justify">According to the FDA, the fish with the least mercury are salmon, trout, catfish, haddock, flounder, crab or shrimp. And what about tuna fish – that classic bodybuilding and fitness staple food?</p>
<p align="justify">The FDA says that certain species of large tuna, usually sold as fresh tuna, tuna steaks or sushi, can have mercury levels above the FDA’s danger level of 1 part per million. The smaller tuna species such as albacore and skipjack, have much lower levels of mercury (that’s why canned tuna is less likely to be contaminated with mercury than fresh tuna).</p>
<p align="justify">In a recent report on tuna and mercury published by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), they recommend the equivalent of only 1 can of white (albacore) tuna per week or 2 cans of light tuna. However, they added that men, older children or women beyond childbearing age could probably safely consume 2 to 3 times these amounts. (This would increase their recommended limit to just under a can a day).</p>
<p align="justify">I know a lot of bodybuilders who eat can after can of tuna every day&#8230; some literally live on it as their prime protein source. In the 60’s and 70’s some of the bodybuilders of that era were famous (or infamous) for their Spartan &#8220;tuna and water&#8221; diets for getting ripped very quickly. Today, unfortunately, this practice appears unwise.</p>
<p align="justify">I used to be one of those 2-3 cans of tuna a day guys too. Even though it was bland, it was a fast and easy way to get lean protein for a bodybuilding diet. Today I eat a much wider variety of lean proteins, including a wide variety of fish, including salmon or trout two or three times per week, and I recommend the same to my clients.</p>
<p align="justify">Most health organizations still recommend including high fat fish such as salmon, herring, trout, sardines or mackerel at least twice per week in order to provide the healthy omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFA’s). In light of the Mercury scare, many people are turning to fish oil pills to get their EFA’s. Aside from providing an uncontaminated source of EFA&#8217;s (check the purity standards of the manufacturers), the list of health benefits of fish oils seems to keep growing and growing.</p>
<p>Personally, I prefer to eat the fish a few times a week rather than take handfuls of pills. I spare no expense to get wild (not farmed) Alaskan salmon. This gives me quality calories, lean protein and omega 3’s at the same time. It tastes good and is more economical, besides. But if you don&#8217;t eat fish, a pure fish oil supplement is a good idea. You can also use flaxseed oil, which is the richest vegetable-based source of essential fatty acids, although conversion of ALA must take place in the body to EPA and DHA, the omega 3 fats found in marine oils.</p>
<p align="justify">In summary, it would be wise to pay attention to the FDA and EPA warnings and guidelines, but moderation in all things is good advice in this situation, rather than total paranoia. When I’m dining out, I’ll occasionally have swordfish, fresh tuna steak, or sushi and I don’t give any thought to whether it’s contaminated - I just enjoy it.</p>
<p>Like you said, you would have to stop eating (and breathing!) to totally avoid exposure to every possible toxin&#8230; and the people who live in fear of disease are usually the ones who get it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><strong>Eat Less Now To Pig Out Later?<br />
By Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS<br />
<a href="http://www.burnthefatbook.com/">http://www.burnthefatbook.com/</a></strong></p>
<p>Suppose you’re on a diet and you have a banquet or a holiday party coming up. You’re expecting a big meal to be served for dinner, and there will be open bar with lots and lots of “party snacks.” You’re not sure if there will be any healthy food there, but you are sure that you’re going to be in a festive, partying mood! What should you do? Should you cut back on your food earlier in the day to make room for the big feast?</p>
<p>What I’ve just described is commonly known as &#8220;banking calories,&#8221; which is analogous to saving calories like money because you&#8217;re going to consume more later, and it’s a very common practice among dieters. If you’re really serious about your diet and fitness goals however, then the answer is no, you should NOT “bank calories! Here&#8217;s why and here&#8217;s what you should do instead:</p>
<p>First of all, if you&#8217;re being really honest with yourself, you have to agree that there&#8217;s almost always something healthy to eat at any gathering. You know those tables you see at holiday parties that are covered with yards of chips, dips, pretzels, cookies, salami, candies, cheese, punch, liquor, and a seemingly endless assortment of other goodies? Well, did you also notice that there&#8217;s usually a tray full of carrot sticks, cauliflower, celery, fruit, turkey breast and other healthy snacks too?</p>
<p>No matter where you are, you always have options, so make the best choice you can based on whatever your options are. If nothing else, you can choose to eat a small portion of &#8220;party foods&#8221; rather than a huge portion, thereby obeying the law of calorie balance.</p>
<p>If you skip meals or eat less earlier in the day to bank calories for a big feast at night, you are thinking only in terms of calories, but you’re depriving yourself of the valuable nutrition you need all day long in terms of protein (amino acids), carbohydrates, essential fats, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that come from healthy food, as well as the small frequent meals required to stoke the furnace of your metabolism.</p>
<p>Not only that, but eating less early in the day in anticipation for overeating later is more likely to increase your appetite, causing you to binge or eat much more than you thought you would at night when the banquet does arrive.</p>
<p>Eating healthy food earlier in the day is likely to fill you up and you&#8217;ll be less likely to overeat in the evening. High fiber foods, healthy fats and especially lean protein, tend to suppress your appetite the most.</p>
<p>I don’t like the concept of &#8220;banking calories.&#8221; Your body just doesn&#8217;t work that way - it tends to seek equilibrium by adjusting your appetite to the point where you consume the same total amount of calories in the end anyway.</p>
<p>Even if it worked the way you wanted it to, why would you eat less (starve) in an attempt to burn more fat, then overeat (binge) and put the fat right back on? Why allow yourself to put on fat in the first place?</p>
<p>A starving and bingeing pattern will almost certainly cause more damage than an occasional oversize meal. Some dieticians might even say that this kind of behavior borders on disordered eating.</p>
<p>A better approach is to stay on your regular menu of healthy foods and small meals through the entire day - business as usual - and then go ahead and treat yourself to a &#8220;cheat meal,&#8221; but sure to keep your portions small.</p>
<p>It should be a big relief to know that on special occasions, whether it&#8217;s a party, restaurant meal, banquet or holiday dinner, you can eat whatever you want with little or no ill effect on body composition, as long as you respect the law of calorie balance. However, you CANNOT starve and binge and expect not to reap negative consequences.</p>
<p>To burn fat and be healthy, you don&#8217;t have to be a &#8220;party pooper&#8221; or completely deny yourself of foods you enjoy, but you do need to have the discipline to stick with your regular meal plan most of the time and control your portion sizes all of the time.</p>

<a href="http://www.burnthefatbook.com/">http://www.burnthefatbook.com/</a></strong> </font><font face="arial" size="2">There have been countless studies performed on the role of protein in the muscle growth process to try and determine exactly how much protein you should consume to build muscle mass. Recently, several studies have looked at the role that dietary protein plays in helping you lose fat, and more importantly, helping you keep it off! </font><font face="arial" size="2">One thing scientists have discovered is that eating lean protein foods is important for regulating body composition because it decreases your appetite.</font><font face="arial" size="2">In a 2003 study reported in the journal, Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition And Metabolic Care (2003; 6(6): 635-638), protein was shown to be more satiating (made you feel fuller) than both carbohydrate and fat both in the short term and the long term.</p>
<p>Eating more lean protein foods has also been proven as an effective strategy to help you burn fat and keep it off because of something called, “dietary thermogenesis” (also known as the thermic effect of food).</p>
<p>In a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition in 2005 (93(2): 281-289), researchers followed a group of 113 overweight subjects after 4 weeks of a very low calorie diet, through a 6 month period of weight maintenance. The subjects were divided into a protein group or a control group. The protein group was simply given an extra 30 grams of protein per day on top of their usual diet.</p>
<p>The researchers found that during weight maintenance, the group with the higher protein intake was less likely to regain the lost weight, and any weight gain in the protein group was lean tissue and not fat. The results were attributed to higher thermic effect and a decrease in appetite.</p>
<p>Although calories will always be the bottom line when it comes to fat loss, studies such as these are confirming what bodybuilders have known for a long time: That calories are not the only factor that can influence your body composition. Your protein intake and your ratios of protein relative to carbohydrate and fat can clearly play a key role in helping you lose fat and keep the fat off.</p>
<p>None of this is news to bodybuilders or to anyone who is already familiar with bodybuilding-style nutrition programs such as <strong><a title="burn the fat feed the muscle" href="http://www.burnthefatbook.com/">Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle</a></strong>. But it’s interesting that such positive results were achieved in studies where protein was increased so conservatively - as little as 30 additional grams of protein per day or a 20% increase above traditional protein recommendations.</p>
<p>Many bodybuilding-style diets (such as Burn The Fat and Body For Life) call for as much as 30%-40% of the total daily calories from protein and some competitive bodybuilders crank up the protein (temporarily) to as much as 50% before competitions.</p>
<p>I’m curious to see if any research is ever conducted with these more aggressive protein intakes. If so, my guess is that we will find once again, that the bodybuilders are ahead of the science when it comes to the manipulation of diet for improving body composition.</p>
<p>The take home lesson is simple: If you remove some carbs and put in some protein - nothing too radical; even as little as trading 30 grams per day of carbs for 30 grams of lean protein - this small change in your diet may decrease your appetite, decrease your body fat and help you keep the fat off after you lose it.</p>

</a><br />
For beginners, getting into fitness can be intimidating and confusing. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, getting fit is one of the most straightforward tasks you’ll attempt in the New Year. Fortunately, reaching your fitness goals requires only two things; discipline (that’s up to you) and a set of simple guidelines (which I’m happy to provide).</p>
<p>First, you should arrange for a full physical examination from your physician. This is mandatory for people that have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or are obese. Once you have your doctor’s approval to begin a fitness program, you should schedule a fitness assessment with a health professional at your gym.</p>
<p>While both of these are incredibly annoying, they are essential to your success and well-being. The benefits of a doctor’s visit are obvious, particularly if you have one or more of the previously mentioned conditions but it also allows you and your doctor to discuss your lifestyle. Preventative medicine is far better than reactive medicine. Make your doctor part of your fat loss and health-building team along with the health professionals at your gym.</p>
<p>The real benefits of the fitness assessment aren’t finding out how much body fat you have or how many minutes you can last on the treadmill, but rather getting a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. If you want to avoid injury and actually achieve your goals this year, get to know your strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>The next secret is to walk, don’t run, to fitness success. If you want to pick up your University running workouts where you left them 10 years ago, that’s fine. But I guarantee you won’t last 10 days. And then it’ll be a dreary 355 days until you’re ready to try exercise again.</p>
<p>The hidden benefit of a good fitness assessment is that it will actually serve as a nice introductory workout to your return to fitness. It will buffer your delusions of fitness grandeur from the reality of what your body actually can do. After the fitness assessment teaches your body a lesson and awakens your muscles from their winter slumber, only then will you realize your limits that you must respect in subsequent workouts.</p>
<p>Goal-setting is the fourth secret to success (and not just in fitness, but in any area of life). It is much more effective to commit to a set of specific short-term and long-term goals than it is to routinely hope for weight loss each year.</p>
<p>Set realistic goals and remember to train within your limits. If you are currently sedentary and haven’t exercised in months (or years), don’t begin an advanced training program. Start with a conservative beginner program. Your belly wasn’t built in a day, and neither will be lost overnight.</p>
<p>Limit your initial workouts to 1 set per muscle group. In week 2, you should be ready to add another set. And if you want to build up to 3 sets, then do so in week 3. Slowly increase the weight and stay within your desired repetition range. At no time should you be too sore to function. And runners should also heed this advice. Too much running will guarantee shin splints in the early going. Avoid running on back to back days for the first two weeks and keep the distance short. Sore muscles are guaranteed when you lift. So keep the volume low.</p>
<p>And now for 2 super secrets that will help keep you committed and consistent with your workouts and will finally help you lose fat for good.</p>
<p>First, build your social support team. Social support is the #1 factor for success for women in fitness programs, and is important for men as well. Support can come from your spouse, brother or sister, child, mom or dad, friend, neighbor, co-worker, personal trainer, or lifestyle coach. Don’t try to go it alone. People respond better when they report to a person instead of a machine.</p>
<p>You also need to know that nutrition is the second most important factor for success in fat loss programs. That’s why you don’t need to train like a world-class athlete when you are starting to lose fat. Most of the fat you’ll lose in the early going is because you have chosen to make better nutritional choices. And if you don’t make better nutritional choices, even the best exercise program in the world isn’t going to help you achieve your fat loss goals.</p>
<p>Nutrition is a lot simpler than you think. Don&#8217;t over think things. See a nutritionist or listen to what your mother told you as a kid. Food choices should contain a large nutrient-to-calorie ratio. Dr. Phil (yes that Dr. Phil) calls this “High-Response Cost, High-Yield Nutrition”. And follow this rule: Don&#8217;t eat foods with added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, but make sure to log your nutritional intake. This is a free website that allows you to track your calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat.</p>
<p>The consistent use of these 6 secrets will help you achieve your fat loss goals this year. Make this year’s fitness plan a strategic investment in your future health. The most efficient and effective way to lose fat in 2005 is with my Turbulence Training workouts - the choice of fitness professionals.</p>

<p align="left"><strong>By Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS<br />
<a href="http://www.burnthefatbook.com/">http://www.burnthefatbook.com/</a></strong></p>
<p>Legendary bodybuilding trainer Vince, &#8220;The Iron Guru&#8221; Gironda was famous for saying, &#8220;Bodybuilding is 80% nutrition!&#8221; But is this really true or is it just another fitness and bodybuilding myth passed down like gospel without ever being questioned? Which is really more important, nutrition or training? This IS an interesting question and I believe there is a definite answer:</p>
<p>The first thing I would say is that you cannot separate nutrition and training. The two work together synergistically. Regardless of your goals - gaining muscle, losing fat, athletic conditioning, whatever -you will get less than-optimal or even non-existent results without paying attention paid to both.</p>
<p>In fact, I like to look at gaining muscle or losing fat in three parts - weight training, cardio training and nutrition - with each part like a leg of a three legged stool. pull ANY one of the legs off the stool, and guess what happens?</p>
<p>In reality, it&#8217;s impossible to put a specific percentage on which is more important - how could we possibly know such a number to the digit?</p>
<p>Nutrition and training are both important, but at certain stages of your training progress, I do believe placing more attention on one component over the other can create larger improvements. Let me explain:</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a beginner and you don&#8217;t posses nutritional knowledge, then mastering nutrition is far more important than training and should become your number one priority. I say this because improving a poor diet can create rapid, quantum leaps in fat loss and muscle building progress.</p>
<p>For example, if you&#8217;ve been skipping meals and only eating 2 times per day, jumping your meal frequency up to 5 or 6 smaller meals a day will transform your physique very rapidly.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re still eating lots of processed fats and refined sugars, cutting them out and replacing them with good fats like the omega threes found in fish and unrefined foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains will make an enormous and noticeable difference in your physique very quickly.</p>
<p>If your diet is low in protein, simply adding a complete protein food like chicken breast, fish or egg whites at each meal will muscle you up fast.</p>
<p>No matter how hard you train or what type of training routine you&#8217;re on, it&#8217;s all in vain if you don&#8217;t provide yourself with the right nutritional support.</p>
<p>In beginners (or in advanced trainees who are still eating poorly), these changes in diet are more likely to result in great improvements than a change in training.</p>
<p>The muscular and nervous systems of a beginner are unaccustomed to exercise. Therefore, just about any training program can cause muscle growth and strength development to occur because it&#8217;s all a &#8220;shock&#8221; to the untrained body.</p>
<p>You can almost always find ways to tweak your nutrition to higher and higher levels, but once you’ve mastered all the nutritional basics, then further improvements in your diet don&#8217;t have as great of an impact as those initial important changes&#8230;</p>
<p>Eating more than six meals will have minimal effect. Eating more protein ad infinitum won&#8217;t help. Once you&#8217;re eating low fat, going to zero fat won&#8217;t help more - it will probably hurt. If you&#8217;re eating a wide variety of foods and taking a good multi vitamin/mineral, then more supplements probably wont help much either. If you&#8217;re already eating natural complex carbs and lean proteins every three hours, there&#8217;s not too much more you can do other than continue to be consistent day after day&#8230;</p>
<p>At this point, as an intermediate or advanced trainee who has the nutrition in place, changes in your training become much more important, relatively speaking. Your training must become downright scientific.</p>
<p>Except for the changes that need to be made between an &#8220;off season&#8221; muscle growth diet and a &#8220;precontest&#8221; cutting diet, the diet won&#8217;t and can&#8217;t change much - it will remain fairly constant.</p>
<p>But you can continue to pump up the intensity of your training and improve the efficiency of your workouts almost without limit. In fact, the more advanced you become, the more crucial training progression and variation becomes because the well-trained body adapts so quickly.</p>
<p>According to powerlifter Dave Tate, an advanced lifter may adapt to a routine within 1-2 weeks. That&#8217;s why elite lifters rotate exercises constantly and use as many as 300 different variations on exercises.</p>
<p>Strength coach Ian King says that unless you&#8217;re a beginner, you&#8217;ll adapt to any training routine within 3-4 weeks. Coach Charles Poliquin says that you&#8217;ll adapt within 5-6 workouts.</p>
<p>So, to answer the question, while nutrition is ALWAYS critically important, it&#8217;s more important to emphasize for the beginner (or the person whose diet is still a &#8220;mess&#8221;), while training is more important for the advanced person&#8230; (in my opinion).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that nutrition ever ceases to be important, the point is, further improvements in nutrition won&#8217;t have as much impact once you already have all the fundamentals in place.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve mastered nutrition, then it&#8217;s all about keeping that nutrition consistent and progressively increasing the efficiency and intensity of your workouts, and mastering the art of planned workout variation, which is also known as &#8220;periodization.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bottom line: There&#8217;s a saying among strength coaches and personal trainers&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t out-train a lousy diet!&#8221;</p>
<p>If your nutrition program is your weakest area, either because you&#8217;re just starting out or you simply don&#8217;t have the nutritional knowledge you know you need to get results, then be sure to take a look at the Burn The Fat program at: <a href="http://www.burnthefatbook.com/">http://www.burnthefatbook.com/</a></p>

<p><strong>Pavel Tsatsouline:</strong> While Pavel&#8217;s a lead writer for Muscle Media magazine and the author of numerous bestselling fitness books, his &#8220;tactical fitness&#8221; trainings had been strictly limited to law enforcement and military. The Soviets had groomed PAVEL as an elite expert for their crack Spetsnaz spec ops units. But the Evil Empire fell—and Pavel scooted from the Dark Side with hidden contraband—the priceless Soviet secrets of super-strength.</p>

</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ori Hofmekler:</strong> As founder, Editor-In-Chief, and Publisher of Mind &#038; Muscle Power, a national men&#8217;s health and fitness magazine, Ori introduced his Warrior Diet to the public in a monthly column—to immediate acclaim from readers and professionals in the health industry alike.</p>
<p><strong>Products by Ori Hofmekler include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dragondoor.com/b23.html?kbid=1313" target="_new">The Warrior Diet</a></li>

</ul>
<p> </p>
