Easy money that is. While you most likely waste your money and grow even more frustrated in your weight loss efforts.
“America’s Toughest Trainer” has a new line of supplements which she promotes and that I feel serious damages her credibility as a “Hardcore” trainer. It also insults the efforts of all those who spilled their guts on THE BIGGEST LOSER.
On the show she preaches the “right” way to lose weight through diet and intense exercise. She screams at her clients to push themselves even harder.
Then she sells out. It’s a shame when money becomes your pimp.
Her new Quickstart products (even the names are pure bullshit) claim calorie control and fat burning. If they actually did this (most supplements are 100% fillers and junk) then she is promoting a product that seriously alters appetite and compromises the metabolism. These two activities but a huge strain on the liver and kidneys and can put your health at risk.

Several readers called me after seeing this link and said in sum, “Dr. Nancy Synderman said on the Today Show that chicken and red meat are not part of the Mediterranean Diet.
But you say they are. Who’s right?”
I am. She’s flat out wrong. She’s speaking from a journalistic/medical viewpoint while she sits her ass down on a plush chair. She gets her nonsense information from manuals and reports. I get my information directly from the Mediterranean.
Our relatives in Greece are raising chickens to be slaughtered for food. Roasted chicken with potatoes is one of Greece’s signature dishes. At the same time, my uncle in Italy is hunting for wild boar and rabbit to be roasted on a spit.
Bistecca is one of the most sought after dishes in Northern Italy. Some butchers are treated as celebrities!
Here’s the video.

My normal method of operation when referencing an article is to summarize and then let my readers read the piece for themselves. However, this report is so infuriating that I must comment first in sum and then at a more visceral level.
First here’s the link to story from the Washington Post via MSNBC, written by Kimberly Kindy and Lyndsey Layton
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31719136/ns/health-more_health_news/
The once coveted USDA organic seal is now not worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s been compromised and corrupted. Once a badge of high standards and ethical fortitude, it is now just a prop of Big Food and their lobbyists who have the money and the muscle to effectively own the label.
At the forefront of the ineptitude, negligence and outright incompetence is Barbara Robinson, a functionary of the USDA who is in effect an operative for Big Food. She has continuously and consistently violated the spirit of the USDA Organic Seal,... read more

Should I Buy Organic?
I am asked this many times a week. By clients, friends, family.
Yesterday a priest asked me.
The answer, now more than ever is YES!!!!
Organic Food is made without the use of pesticides, herbicides and other dangerous poisons that are found in conventionally grown foods. These toxins enter your body, go into your blood stream and settle in your bones and vital organs. There they begin to fester. Research shows they cause cancer.
End of story.
Here’s a link to a well written article about how organically grown foods retain their nutritional integrity while conventionally grown foods have compromised nutritional value. Severely compromised. As in today you would have to eat four carrots to get the same nutrients as you would from one carrot eaten in 1940.
Here’s the article by Sheryl Walters:

Detox of the Ancients
The Romans created aqueducts to bring them from water from the mountains of Italy. But they also used aqueducts to flush away their raw sewage. In keeping with that, I introduce you to the most effective, the safest and cheapest detox and internal cleanser available.
No need to buy powders that are lab concoctions. No need to make costly visits to the practitioners who will push these powders on you.
To clean out your system and help rid your bowels of the toxins that Big Food and Big Pharma put there, follow this simple plan.
Buy a bottle of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. About $10
Apple Cider Vinegar has been used as an elixir for centuries, dating back to the ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians.
Mix three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 3 oz of distilled water.
Sip at first to make sure you can tolerate the tartness. Then drink it down.
Do this 3 times a day ... read more
