Traditional fitness programs isolate only one or two factors. The truth is all factors MUST be in place in order to bring about a lasting, positive physical change. If any one factor is neglected or missing, the program will fail to produce results.

This week I’m going to share the Five Factors of Fat Loss. There’s just no getting around them.  You can’t skip one.  When you incorporate all five factors, you’ll be able to take complete control over how your body looks and feels.  You’ll achieve a consistent results, and enjoy a long-term fit and healthy lifestyle.

Factor Two: Sensible Supplementation

Supplementation gives your body the nutrients it needs without adding calories.  It is virtually impossible to satisfy your body’s nutritional needs with the number of calories recommended to lose fat. In addition, due to a typically busy lifestyle, it is difficult to eat perfectly every day for the rest of your life. Therefore, when following a fitness program, muscles become undernourished, causing your body to shed the muscle it can’t feed.  By supplying the body with the natural nutrients it needs without additional calories, (e.g., whole food nutrient complex), you can help satisfy all your nutritional needs for repair and growth without exceeding the amount of calories your body needs to maintain the mandatory deficit for fat loss.

The benefits of using supplements as low-calorie nutrition during an exercise program are well researched.  The daily use of a whole food nutrient complex has been found to be the most inexpensive nutritional insurance

The reason behind adding supplements to your daily meals is to supply the body with calorie-free nutrition and select, all natural compounds that have the potential to improve health, alter body composition and increase performance and metabolic rate.

The Categories and Uses of Supplements

A whole food nutrient complex is the foundation of any complete fitness program.  Additional vitamins, minerals, enzymes, essential fatty acids and antioxidants will boost your nutrient intake beyond what is available through the foods you eat. These additional nutrients allow cells to reach their potential creating the ideal environment for positive physical change. Taking other supplements before creating a nutritional foundation is like adding expensive accessories to a car that doesn’t run properly.

Altering Body Composition

It is difficult to get enough nutrients from your normal diet to support your fitness goals.  Any time there is an increase in cellular activity, as during exercise, the body increases its use of nutrients.  By supplying these nutrients without additional calories, the attempt is made to satisfy all nutrient needs for repair and growth without exceeding the amount of calories needed to sustain the mandatory deficit for fat loss.  When undernourished, the body must shed the muscle it cannot feed.

Increasing Performance and Metabolism

Specific nutrients and combinations of nutrients have been found to improve exercise performance and increase the calories burned during and after exercise. Supplying the body with calorie-free nutrients can improve performance and, therefore, assist with fat-loss and muscle-gain goals.

Sensible supplementation is highly recommended in order to supply the body with the right combination of calorie-free nutrients and compounds that have the potential to enhance performance, reduce body fat, increase muscle and improve health.  Proper supplementation creates the environment your body needs to get maximum results.

Of course, the next question becomes, “Which supplements are good?”

The answer to that is another blog post which I will get to another time.  In the meantime, you know the brands I use and trust:  Prograde Nutrition and Eniva Nutraceutics.  For my local readers who are members of Life Time Fitness, you can feel very good about their products as well.

I’ve got a quick post for you today.  A lot of people ask me about fish oils and Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).  They’re becoming incredibly popular and for good reason.

You’re smart enough to know that there is no miracle pill.  There’s no supplement or drug out there that’s going to change your life instantly as soon as you take it.

But I’ll tell you what, a good Essential Fatty Acid supplement can come darn close.  There are more and more research studies showing the enormous health and fat loss benefits of taking fish oil capsules.

• They help stabilize your blood sugar levels, which helps promote fat loss
• It can reduce inflammation to improve the health of your heart
• They can also help decrease joint pain significantly

And a whole lot more.

Sounds great, right? Sure does, but the problem with Fish Oil has always been the same:

They make you burp like crazy!

Seriously, it really is pretty gross – nothing like a tasty fish burp.

This is an amazing shame because they hold such promise.

The good news is I’ve found an Essential Fatty Acid supplement made from Krill Oil.  And you know what?  NO fish burps.

That’s right, you get the same powerful benefits you get from fish oil WITHOUT the burps!  Oh, and did I mention Krill Oil has 47 times the antioxidant power of fish oil?!

The brand I use and recommend to all my clients is Prograde Nutrition’s EFA Icon.

I know the owners of Prograde and they are a brand I really believe in.  There aren’t many supplement companies you can trust at all, nevermind online.  But Prograde is a company you can put your faith in.  I do.

If you’ve been looking for a great EFA supplement WITHOUT the fish
burps then look no further than Prograde Nutrition’s EFA Icon.  It really is all
it’s cracked up to be.

PS -  Prograde’s got a back-to-school sale going on that ends tonight.  To save some cash click HERE and get there before the sale ends at 11:59 pm.

There are all sorts of crummy supplements on the market you don’t need.  Some of the stuff is flat out junk. Some of the stuff is good, but the actual product and brand is lousy.

And then, there are some products that are just flat out awesome for you.

Bottom line: The health benefits associated with a quality Krill Oil supplement are just too powerful to ignore.  I don’t know if I can be any more blunt about it.

Besides the fact Krill Oil doesn’t cause “fish burps” like fish oil capsules do, its just one of the best sources of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).

Krill Oil can also:

• Help protect your heart
• Improve your memory
• Strengthen your immune system
• Minimize the damage caused by free radicals
• Reduce joint pain and PMS symptoms
• Aid the fat loss process

I’m telling you, it really is one heck of a powerful supplement.

And the only brand I recommend is the brand I trust completely – Prograde Nutrition.

Their EFA Icon is the best Krill Oil product on the market, as far as I’m concerned.
