EPHED 25mg

Ephedrine comes from the ephedra plant in its natural form is referred to as Ma Haung.  Ma Haung has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine mostly as a bronchial dilator.

Live Lean Today offers ephedrine in two forms 12.5mg ephedrine hcl and 25mg ephedrine hcl.

Studies on mice not humans showed that there was an increase in thermogensis for brown adipose tissue with the use of ephedrine.  One issue with the study to correlate it to human weight loss is that humans don’t have high amounts of brown adipose tissue and most of our thermogenic reactions occur in skeletal muscle tissue.

Aspirin and caffeine have been shown to have a synergistic effect on ephedrine which led years ago to what were called ECA Stacks (ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin).  ECA Stacks were popular with bodybuilders and fitness models for support their results.  Today ECA Stacks are made with ephedra extract or ephedra leaves which you can find in ECA Xtreme by Hi Tech.  Live Lean Today carries other ECA Stacks with ephedra extract which you can find at our ephedra products page.

The use of ephedrine can have adverse side effects when in combination of other drugs.  It is recommended to consult your physician before using an products that have ephedrine in them.

Ephedrine can be detected in urine.  This is important as some athletes that take drug tests ephedrine may be a banned substance for their sport.  You will have to read your own guidelines for your sport on whether or not ephedrine is allowed.

The sale of ephedrine is legal though regulated to the amounts a person can buy per order and per 30 days.  Also the ability to sell ephedrine varies state by state.  Live Lean Today offers a map to show if ephedrine sales are available in your state.

Crooks have found that it is easier to sell these items online or sell them to someone who sells them online. I found all this information on news wesbites which you can go and as well.

Three major bills introduced Feb. 25 are the “Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2009″, sponsored by Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the “Organized Retail Crime Act of 2009″, sponsored by Rep. Brad Ellsworth of Indiana, and the “E-fencing Enforcement Act of 2009″, sponsored by Rep. Robert Scott of Virginia.

“In the midst of the deepening economic crisis, organized retail crime seems to be flourishing,” Durbin said in introducing his legislation. “Organized theft affects struggling retailers’ bottom lines at a time when they can afford it least and the resale of these stolen goods puts consumers at tremendous risk of buying tainted or outdated products. Our bill takes immediate steps to combat these crimes by making it easier to identify and prosecute offenders and strengthening the penalties for those engaging in such crimes.” Durbin Stated.

Here is one way the theft is perpetrated. Thieves steal credit card information, they place small orders with online retailers. They use the card until the credit runs out or it is reported stolen. By then it is too late, the products are shipped or already in the hands of the criminals. They place small orders because they do not drawl attention.

The credit card companies do not care because once the card is reported stolen they TAKE the money back from the poor merchant and on top of losing their money, and their merchandise, the merchant is charged a fine by Visa, MasterCard, Amex, or Discover. The merchant is the only loser in the whole situation.

The card holder is not responsible for items charged on a stolen card, the thieve does not get caught, the credit card company makes money, the online auction sites still make their money and the merchant is left paying for it all!

So now that the thief has the tanning lotion, diet pills, protein powders, i phones, or shoes in hand what is he going to do with them? Sell them on ebay, Amazon, OverStock. Pawn shops do not take all things like this and the things the do take they pay about 40% of the value of the product. However online they can be sold for retail value. It is believed there are entire criminal enterprises with accounts on these websites. Just Google “Stolen Items On Ebay” or Selling Stolen Items On Amazon”.

There are actually forums on how to sell stolen items online.

Ebay has made a policy statement “We don’t allow the sale of stolen property on eBay because it violates state, federal, and international law. We also strongly support efforts by law enforcement to investigate attempts to sell stolen property on our site. If we see this activity taking place, we’ll proactively notify law enforcement and help in their efforts to investigate and prosecute members who violate this policy. We also don’t allow members to list items with altered or removed identification numbers (serial numbers). Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn’t, it may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.”

Amazon and Overstock has a similar policy. Ok this will keep the honest crooks out. Amazon has problems with their own employees stealing, search for “Amazon warehouse worker stole 160,000 in electronic goods.”

So when you are shopping online and and wonder, “Why is this so cheap?” You now know that it is highly likely that it is stolen and no matter what the selling price the thief is making a 100% markup. Knowing buying stolen items is a crime, and even if the consumer does not know a item is stolen it is still morally wrong. You end up paying in the end, merchants have to raise prices to make up for stolen items and that price gets passed on to everyone.

As I mentioned it is illegal to knowingly receive stolen merchandise and if the items are discovered to be stolen they will be confiscated from you and you are out the money.

The bottom line is buy from a reputable seller or website. Check their history, if it is short and their prices are low, you should think twice about buying from them. You may be breaking the law.

Joe Weider was pioneer bodybuilder and publisher   “Joe didn’t just inspire my earliest dreams; he made them come true the day he invited me to move to America to pursue my bodybuilding career,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement.    Weider was born Nov. 20, 1920, in Montreal, CA. He first dreamed of power as a young teenager living in a gang-infested ghetto there. When he was 13, he crafted crude dumbbells and then worked out until he was able to stand up to  bullies who beat him down.   He created the bodybuilding contest Mr. Olympia event in 1965.  Two years later, Weider discovered Schwarzenegger at a bodybuilding contest while traveling in Europe.   He invited Schwarzenegger to move to California and funded the young bodybuilder’s first apartment in Santa Monica, giving him enough money to make ends meet. Weider also orchestrated Schwarzenegger’s first acting role in a TV movie.   Asked by the producers of “Hercules Goes Bananas” for a “a muscleman who could act a little,” Weider pointed them to Schwarzenegger.   Schwarzenegger told The Times in 1989 that Weider pumped up his resume to get him the job, telling the producers that Schwarzenegger had done Shakespearean plays in Germany.

Joe had many supporters, and followers like myself. I can’t really say I believed in the “Weider Principles”, some self promoting BS that he concocted to make himself out as a law giver of bodybuilding. I can remember one called, “Instinctive Training Principle” I think it said something like it you are not feeling strong on a certain day don’t train heavy. No Crap! I didn’t really need a principle to tell me that.

Joe was a smart guy and no one had really put all this stuff in writing before so he did and claimed it as his original thinking. It may be time for the ‘Big Al Commandments’. Thou shall eat protein! That would be commandment #1. Thou shall not over train! #2, you get my point.

Weider’s critics often complained about his pumped up ego and cut throat business style. Weider had a god complex when it came to bodybuilding culture.    He studied the tactics of leaders who inspired the masses, including Winston Churchill, Moses,  Mussolini,  Stalin and  Hitler.   “You think anybody says negative things about Jesus? About Moses?” Weider asked The Times during a 1989 interview. “You get a lot of atheists and devil worshipers that hate God. Why should I be loved by everybody?”

Even as a young wide eyed new bodybuilder at the age of 13, I still new I was being advertised to in his mags, but I can say I learned a lot from them. I still have the very first magazine I bought of Muscle and Fitness, which I bough in 1983, wow 30 years ago. That’s crazy to think about, but I can still remember some of the articles and I think Rich Gaspari was on the cover. Oh just a side note I met Rich a few times at the Arnold Classic in Columbus and he is the real deal. Still in shape, walks the talk, and he literally tries to make the strongest bodybuilding supplements he can legally make.

Back to Joe, he did bring this industry to the fore front and he can legitimately be called a pioneer in this industry. I don’t think anyone can duplicate what he has done. He will be missed.

Live Lean Today is a well know and trusted website which is the most likely reason the con-artists choose it to copy their name as closely as possible. The real Live Lean Today.com has a 5 Star rating with Google, 100% seller rating on eBay, and Amazon. So when customers saw the trusted name of Live Lean Today.com they felt comfortable.

However the fake website Live Lean For Today.com was nothing like the real LLT. There are several complaints online incorrectly mentioning LLT as the culprit which could not be further from the facts.

You can read the real story at http://www.ripoffreport.com/weightloss-programs/live-lean-4-life/live-lean-4-life-piggy-back-s-d9ffa.htm.

You can read some of the real reviews online about Live Lean Today.

At Live Lean Today we have access to every diet pill made, and you may be saying, “Of course you say they work”, and we fully understand that. However we used them before we started this company and we still use them.

The three crucial components that make a fat burner effective are: (1) appetite suppressant, (2) energy booster, & (3) thermogenesis. All three of these key ingredients necessary for a fat burner to be effective have been covered in the simple explanation of thermogenesis described above.

Appetite suppressants will make you less hungry so that you will eat less and store less fat. The Hoodia plant is one of the strongest appetite suppressors.

Energy booster gives more energy so you can have a better workout which equals more calories converted to energy for heat. There are many great herbals that promote energy, ephedra being one of them.

Thermogenesis, is the production of heat.  Let’s take that one step further, with everything in life there is a cost, the cost of heat is the expenditure of energy.  Now, before I go any further let me explain something about energy… energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted, transferred, or stored.  So my above statement really should read – thermogenesis is the conversion of energy into heat within the body.

Next, let’s describe how we measure the amount of energy being converted, transferred or stored in the body  The calorie is the unit of  measurement.   A calorie is the energy required to heat one gram of water one degree Celsius.  Say What? These calories come from our food.

The food we eat is used in our bodies in different ways.  Some is converted into sugar for immediate energy, some is broken down in to amino acids and trace mineral,  some leaves our body via our waste system, and finally some is stored as fat.  Whatever is not processed in this way can be used for metabolism.  Our bodies’ biggest energy expenditure comes from heat or thermic energy. This is what sets us apart from reptiles or coldblooded animals. As mammals we’re considered warm blooded animals and thus why so much of our body’s energy expenditure is thermic energy. We have to keep our blood warm to keep our body alive!

The calories left over that are not being used for thermic energy is used for other body functions such as cell reproduction, growth, movement, storage of fat.

Thermogenesis, the body’s ability to convert calories (energy) into heat, can be broken down into three types:

1.      Work-induced thermogenesis

2.      Thermo-regulatory thermogenesis

3.      Diet-induced thermogenesis

Work induced thermogenesis involves exercise.  Our muscles need to create heat to work the most effectively and safely.  When you hear people talking about warming up, this is done to protect your muscles, because warm muscles work more effectively than cold ones. This is where Thermo-regulatory thermogenesis comes in:

Keeping the body’s temperature regulated is what Thermo-regulatory thermogenesis is all about.  The average body temperature for humans is 98.6 degrees, which in general is quite a bit warmer than the surrounding temperature. There are even two types of Thermo-regulatory thermogenesis: shivering and non-shivering.  Shivering is a mechanism the body uses to create heat.  Our skeletal muscles create the shivering which heats up our bodies. The non-shivering thermogenesis relates to the third type as mentioned above:  Diet-induced thermogenesis.

Diet-induced thermogenesis is related to eating.  When you eat a big meal you may start to feel warmer.  The reason for this is that body creates that additional energy to help with digesting all that food. With that increased energy activity in the body it is noticed by us as heat.  Brown fat tissue is the organ responsible for diet-induced thermogenesis humans and all mammals.  Brown fat tissue is very important to animals that hibernate and for newborn babies as they utilize the non-shivering thermogenesis for body temperature regulation.

Brown fat tissue, more technically known as adipose tissue, are in close contact with our blood vessels and major organs.  Brown fat has the important function of helping to warm the blood, when activity is triggered, which is then circulated throughout the body to share the warmth.

Our bodies’ thermogenic system is amazing.  It is triggered by the sympathetic nervous system.  The hypothalamus gland can register cold or the eating of a lot of food which then triggers the sympathetic nervous system, which is an automatic nervous system.  Heartbeat and breathing are just two of the functions that the sympathetic nervous system controls and we’re not even conscious of it!  The autonomic nervous system uses up energy all the time.

Norepinephrine is a chemical transmitter that is released by the sympathetic nervous system that causes thermogenesis and other activities in the body.  Our sympathetic nervous system can be compared to a thermostat for the body.  Each one of us has a basal metabolism which can be measured, this measurement is the amount of energy that is required by the body to just sustain life.  Norepinephrine is released when the body requires more energy, like turning up the thermostat for more heat.

Many people report increased sweating when their bodies are in thermogenesis.  If the thermostat is turned up so to speak, we are requiring more of the energy we are consuming to be used for thermogenesis as well as other areas of the sympathetic nervous system.  Therefore, less energy is used in work and less is used for storage via fat, because the brown fat is activated and it calls into service the white cells which are the primary storage of fat in the body.

The number of fat cells in the human body always remain the same, but the size of these cells can vary greatly depending on how much the body is storing vs. using vs. consuming.

Loss of appetite is just one of the benefits of thermogenesis. If you are not as hungry, you will eat less, if you eat less, you have less to store (fat).  The same thing can be said for exercise, thermogenesis is activated in order to raise one’s metabolism, allowing for the release of more energy allowing one to perform his or her physical tasks.  In doing this one feels they have more energy, allowing them to do more and inevitably burn more fat.

The brown fat cell is unique in that it has a special mitochondria, specifically designed to create more energy in the form of heat than other cell’s mitochondria’s.  The mitochondria in any cell is its powerhouse, its inner source of energy.  Just think of the brown fat cell as a super energy burner that produces more heat than any other cell in the body.

Studies have been conducted and it has been determined that a large part of the problem in human obesity has less to do with eating habits as it does with the breakdown and deterioration of brown fat cells.  It is also a theory that a part of the problem with human obesity lies in the amount of adipose tissue activity.  The biggest difference found between lean people and obese people, based on the consumption of the same foods, is the amount of brown fat activity in their bodies.  It has been found that even previously obese people still have a deficiency in their brown fat systems, which can either be reprogrammed or they will always have to be cautious in their day to day diet.

Thermogenics raise the bodys core temperature and gives you a rise in necessary energy so more calories converted to energy for heat and thus less calories stored are stored in fat.

Fat burners do work and they are not a scam. In fact they are extremely effective in helping you lose unwanted weight especially if used in conjunction with a healthy diet and proper exercise. A fat burner that meets the above three requirements is the perfect choice and Live Lean Today.com has many to choose from.

EPHED

Ephedrine is also found in ephedra as one of the active molecules.  Ephedrine supplement is also used for weight loss and is believed to support the use of fat for energy and increasing the metabolic rate or ability to burn calories.
An advantage of ephedrine in weight loss is that in some cases it can help keep muscle tissue during weight loss.

Ephedrine has synergistic properties with caffeine which combined tend to increase the effects.

The common side effects with ephedrine are increases in blood pressure that tend to be relieved once the ingredients have worked their way through the physiological system.

As a weight loss aid it is recommended for max benefits to include a healthy diet and workout plan.

Ephedrine works by lowering the swelling in blood vessels which opens airways in the lungs helping people breathe better which is why some use it as a bronchial dilator.

It is not recommended to take ephedrine for the side effects with the following conditions.

1. Allergic to ephedrine
2. No diagnosis for asthma
3. Using prescription asthma medications
4. After being hospitalized for asthma
5. You are already taking monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor
6. You already have high blood pressure or high risk of heart disease

It is advised to contact your doctor about any possible issues with using ephedrine.

Creatine Select

Creatine Select: More happy stomachs. More happy customers.

People occasionally tell us that other brands of creatine don’t work and/or upset their stomach. If that’s been the case for you, then there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy using Creatine Select. Keep reading, and you’ll learn how to maximize your results with it.

Creatine Select is a unique, all-in-one “stack” of creatine plus phosphates and beta-alanine in a 5:1:1 ratio that has turned many customers into long-term fans. Customers often tell us that Creatine Select is the first creatine formula they have ever used that works great without upsetting their stomach.

First, let’s talk about the formula. What sets it apart from other products?

Beverly International’s R&D team insists on using only high-purity creatine monohydrate in Creatine Select. Creatine monohydrate remains the most scientifically proven form of creatine available.

Creatine Select contains CarnoSyn® beta-alanine, which has been tested in over 20 studies, is protected by several U.S. patents, and contains no banned substances. Beta-alanine helps your muscle cells regulate pH (acid-base balance). Low pH (high acidity) has been implicated as a cause of fatigue during high-intensity exercise.

Creatine Select contains electrolyte-bound phosphates, namely, potassium phosphate and sodium phosphate. Phosphate is required to convert creatine into phosphocreatine (PC). PC is used to fuel muscle contractions during high-intensity exercise. Electrolytes including potassium and sodium are also critical for muscle contraction and overall health and performance.

Creatine and Your Gut: The Secret to a Happy Marriage

The truth is that creatine can upset your stomach, as can many naturally occurring substances. A little bit of education can help you avoid stomach issues with creatine completely.

Sugars like lactose and fructose, and sugar alcohols, can bother just about anyone if consumed in large enough doses. For instance, your intestine can only absorb fructose so quickly. If you ingest too much of it in a single setting, it will accumulate. This causes water to move from your bloodstream into your intestine, resulting in bloating and discomfort. Almost all of the mass market creatine products contain added sugar. The most popular contains nearly 3 times as much sugar as it does creatine.

BI Creatine Select contains no sugar.

Another challenge with creatine is that it is not very soluble in water. If you drop a tablespoon of it into a glass and drink it before it has dissolved completely, you may have problems. As the creatine sits in your intestine “waiting” to dissolve and be absorbed, water will move into your intestine from your bloodstream. As with the fructose example described above, this can cause bloating and discomfort.

With the above in mind, below are some of the latest tips for making your creatine experience an enjoyable and maximally rewarding one.

(1)  Don’t skimp on the water: Mix each serving (1 scoop) of Creatine Select with 4-8 oz (1/2 -1 cup) of water. Again, creatine is not very soluble in water. So don’t worry about using too much water when you prepare Creatine Select. Consider 4 oz (1/2 cup) to be a bare minimum.

(2)  Make it lukewarm: Not crucial to your results, but mixing your creatine with lukewarm water will help creatine dissolve more easily. This makes it easier for your intestine to absorb the creatine, which in turn reduces your likelihood of experiencing stomach upset

(3)  Keep drinking water throughout the day: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, particularly if you are loading with creatine (discussed below). Some athletes will drink a gallon of water a day while using creatine. This is thought to improve creatine absorption and the results achieved.

(4)  Loading helps you experience results sooner: “Loading” traditionally means taking 5 g of creatine 4 times daily (20 g total). By saturating your muscles with creatine more quickly, you will experience results sooner. However, you do not have to load. You can also experience the same results over a longer period of time (e.g. 15-30 days) by taking a smaller dose (e.g. 5-10 g daily).

(5)  Always spread out your doses: Creatine Select is considered a “stomach friendly” creatine formula. Nevertheless, particularly if you don’t have a lot of muscle mass and/or your stomach tends to be sensitive, you may get better results by not loading. Instead, take 1-2 servings of Creatine Select daily. Always allow at least 3 hours between servings. Though it has not been proven, it has been suggested that your muscle cells become “resistant” to further uptake of creatine for a few hours after each 5-g dose (equivalent to 1 serving of Creatine Select).

(6)  Don’t skimp on the carbs: Creatine “likes” carbs. When you eat a carbohydrate-containing meal, your blood sugar and insulin levels rise. Insulin encourages your muscle cells to take up more creatine than would otherwise be the case. Therefore for best results you should consume each serving of Creatine Select after eating a carbohydrate-containing meal. For instance, an athlete who is trying to gain mass could have a shake made with Mass Maker post-workout. The carbohydrates (as well as protein) in Mass Maker will increase insulin. In turn, this will stimulate your muscle cells to take up more creatine.

(7)  Don’t worry about the scale: Don’t be surprised if your weight increases when you take creatine, especially if you are loading. This does NOT mean you are getting fat. It does mean that the creatine is allowing your body to store more water in your muscle cells. Over the long term, increased muscle cell hydration is associated with increases in lean (muscle) mass and performance. This is why you take creatine in the first place!

During the first 2 days of this type of diet plan you are allowed to eat as much of any food as you like. Fatty foods are allowed and encouraged. Bacon cheeseburgers, avocados, pastries, ice cream, cheesecake, fatty meats, fried foods, whatever you want. The theory is that you need to store the fat and energy for the VLCD portion in Phase 2.

BREAKFAST: Tea, yerba mate or coffee in any quantity, without sugar of any kind. Only one tablespoonful of milk allowed in 24 hours. Saccharine or Stevia may be used.

LUNCH: 1 100 grams of  beef, veal, chicken breast, fresh white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp. All visible fat should be removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat.

2 2 cups of one type of vegetable only to be chosen from the following: spinach, chicory, beet greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage.

3 One breadstick (Italian grissino type, thin, crispy) or one Melba toast.

4 An apple, orange, or a handful of strawberries (6-9) or one-half grapefruit.

DINNER: The same four choices as lunch (above). It is generally recommended to avoid eating the same meat and vegetable for both lunch and dinner.

The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt on a limited basis, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, marjoram, etc. may be used for seasoning, but no oil, butter or dressing.   Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. In fact, the [dieter] should drink about 2 liters of these fluids per day. Many dieters are afraid to drink so much because they fear that this may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal requirements. Drinking more an your body will start to flush it out of your system.The fruit or the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner, but not more than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.”   2 small apples are not an acceptable exchange for “1 apple.”   Many dieters have asked Dr. Simeon “why eggs are not allowed.” The contents of two good sized eggs are roughly equivalent to 100 grams of meat, but [un]fortunately the yolk contains a large amount of fat, which is undesirable. Very occasionally we allow egg – boiled, poached or raw – to [dieters] who develop an aversion to meat, but in this case they must add the white of three eggs to the one they eat whole. In countries where cottage cheese made from skimmed milk is available 100 grams may occasionally be used instead of the meat, but no other cheeses are allowed.”

Do not exceed 500 calories per day, and the way these calories are made up is of utmost importance. For instance, if a patient drops the apple and eats an extra breadstick instead, he will not be getting more calories but he will not lose weight. There are a number of foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, which have the same or even lower caloric values than those listed as permissible, and yet we find that they interfere with the regular loss of weight… presumably owing to the nature of their composition. Pimiento peppers, okra, artichokes and pears are examples of this.

American beef has almost double the caloric value of South Italian beef, which is not marbled with fat. This marbling is impossible to remove. In America, therefore, low-grade veal should be used for one meal and fish (excluding all those species such as herring, mackerel, tuna, salmon, eel, etc., which have a high fat content, and all dried, smoked or pickled fish), chicken breast, lobster, crawfish, prawns, shrimps, crabmeat or kidneys for the other meal. Where the Italian breadsticks, the so-called grissini, are not available, one Melba toast may be used instead, though they are psychologically less satisfying. A Melba toast has about the same weight as the very porous grissini which is much more to look at and to chew.

Some HCG Diet Plans recommend that if you reach your weight-loss goals after three weeks on the 500 calorie VLCD, you should increase your caloric intake up to around 800-1000 calories daily, eating the same types of foods from the list above, and continuing to avoid all sugars and starches. Continue this regimen until day 44. Other “HCG Diet Plans” recommend that Phase 2 should last no longer than 3 weeks. In any case, many experts would say it is not advisable to continue a VLCD longer than 6 weeks.

Some “HCG Diets” recommend that you continue into a “Phase 3″ (continues for 3 weeks after Phase 2). Gradually increase additional proteins and vegetables into your diet, of the same type as in phase 2, maintaining a caloric intake of between 1,500 and 2,000 calories. Be sure to weigh in daily.

Some “HCG Diets” include a final transitional phase, (continuing for 3 weeks after the end of Phase 3) in which you gradually reintroduce (healthy) sugars and starches back into your diet. Continue to weigh in daily. As you increase calories after your 6 weeks we highly suggest using a appetite suppressor and fat burning supplement. This can prevent any yo-yo effect.

For informational purposes only. LiveLeanToday.com neither endorses nor recommends the following of this diet or the use of this information.

A: I call it the “bookend” approach to supplementation: Bookend your workouts front (pre-workout) and back (post-workout) with the appropriate supplements in order to realize the greatest gains in muscle size and strength.

Your first bookend is NO-Xplode. Take it pre-workout to enjoy an outstanding mind-muscle connection, lasting energy and focus, and amazing pumps while you exercise.

Post-workout (your second “bookend”) and before bed you will take CellMass. Your workouts stimulate muscle growth. CellMass supports this process by promptly replenishing glutamine and creatine/phosphocreatine lost during exercise, and enhancing muscle cell volumization, or swelling. To summarize, NO-Xplode is a pre-workout performance- and pump-enhancing formula. CellMass is taken right after exercising and before bed. It supports faster muscle repair and recovery, and, thereby, growth.

I’m stacking BSN Supplements Nitrix, NO-Xplode, and CellMass [The Mass Stack]. I know they should be taken on an empty stomach. But would it be okay if I take protein with these supplements?

A: As I explained above, as long as you don’t take in more than 10 grams of glutamine from your protein supplement(s), you won’t “cancel out” the effects of Nitrix.

There is scientific research which suggests that taking protein before lifting weights may be just as important, if not more so, than taking it right afterwards.

When you lift weights, the blood flow to your working muscles increases dramatically. This will help “push” any circulating amino acids into the muscle cells. But you need to have adequate amino acids circulating in your blood to optimize this effect. This is why you should eat some protein (protein is made of amino acids) before working out. This will support faster muscle growth, or hypertrophy.

As you point out, however, Nitrix, NO-Xplode, and CellMass are to be taken on an empty stomach. With this in mind, here’s what I suggest you do:

(1) 60 minutes before your workout have 1 scoop of BSN Lean Dessert Protein. Mix it with water and ice in a blender or shaker bottle. (My favorite flavor is Fresh Cinnamon Roll, in case you care.)

(2) 30 minutes before your workout

A: Your stomach should not contain any food. Water is fine. In fact we recommend drinking water liberally with our products.

Q: How much creatine is in N.O.-Xplode?

A: Approximately 1 gram per scoop.

Q: How much caffeine is in NO Xplode?

A: Approximately 100 mg per scoop (about 1 cup of coffee, depending).

Q: I heard that L-arginine may lower the immune system and cause shingles in people who are prone to virus or herpes outbreak, and L-lysine protects against this. Are your products safe?

A: If you are concerned about arginine supplements affecting your immune system, causing viral outbreak, or in any other way affecting your health, I would advise you to talk to your doctor.

BSN sells many hundreds of thousands of units of arginine-containing NITRIX and NO EXPLODE combined each month.

You’ve no doubt seen the multitude of TV commercials, or heard the many radio ads, explaining what the symptoms of having a low testosterone level are. These ads send you off to a website and then to your doctor to ask him “Is It Low T?” Now you have a $150 office visit and what is most likely going to end up being an expensive prescription drug bill, as well as being labeled by your health insurance company as having a chronic hormone problem since a Low Testosterone level will never go away, most likely.

What Is Testosterone Actually?

Testosterone is a male hormone (androgen) made by the body in the testes.

Testosterone Functions:

• Maintain reproductive tissues
• Stimulate sperm production
• Stimulate and maintain sexual function
• Increase muscle mass and strength
• Maintain bone strength Aid in Protein Synthesis

What is a normal level of Testosterone.  

Just like your cholesterol or blood pressure, there is a numerical range of testosterone levels (also known as  T levels) that are considered normal. The brain and the testicles work together to keep testosterone within this range. When levels of testosterone are below normal, the brain signals the testicles to make more. When testosterone levels reach a normal level, the brain signals the testicles to make less.

The signs of a Low Testosterone Level

• Reduced Sex Drive
• Decreased Energy
• Unwanted Body Changes
• Mood Changes
• Sexual Dysfunction
• Higher Body Fat %
• Decrease in Muscle Mass

What are the causes of low Testosterone levels?

One of the biggest causes for dropping testosterone levels in age. As early as 20 years of age your testosterone levels can start to fall. It’s perfectly natural for men to produce less testosterone as they get older, but when testosterone levels fall below a certain level, around 300 ng/dL, it’s generally considered to be to low.

Low test levels can happen when there is a signaling problem between the brain and the testes that causes a drop in the amount of testosterone being produced by testes. Your hormonal system works on a loop feedback. Your body measures the amount of testosterone and if the brain feels that there is too much testosterone in the body, it can signal the testes to slow production. There are plenty of other reasons that can cause the testes to act in this way; you cannot produce enough testosterone due to a defect in the testes, exposure to outside estrogen, high use of soy protein, exposure to chemicals, the use of drugs, and others.

Low test levels may be a result of a medical condition called hypogonadism. Your doctor can tell if you have hypogonadism by giving you a medical exam to assess your signs and symptoms, then performing blood tests.

So why all the ads?

These ads are directed at men who may be experiencing these symptoms and problems. The ads also want you to visit their website, which has been sent up my the drug manufacturer. This is all well and good because having a low testosterone level does dimish ones quality of life and can be remedied, and can lead to serious health issues if not remedied. Issues such as; obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Their site discusses what Low T is, what you can do about it, contains basically the same information you are reading here, but then promotes AndroGel, a prescription testosterone replacement therapy gel. This is one of the gels that have been recently required by the FDA to provide updated warnings about secondary exposure, again, especially with regard to children.

Here is the issue. The product they sell is a great product and it will raise your level of testosterone in your blood stream, however the big problem is it is a transdermal gel. This means that it transports the drug, a steroid, directly through your skin. A user typically puts the gel in areas that the skin is thin; scrotum, arm pits, behind the knees.

User Beware and Handle Testosterone Gels With Care

If you uses a product like this and don’t follow the instructions carefully and wash his hands properly every single time, or others come in contact with with the gel on your clothes, or you have sex with your wife without washing it off, or allows others to come in contact with the areas where the gel has been applied, guess what they are now taking testosterone. This is especially dangerous for pregnant women and children. What can happen is children do come in contact with the gel?

•  Unusual enlargement of sex organs
•  Premature development of pubic hair
• Aggressive behaviors
• Increased sexual drive

As I mentioned early one of the main reasons why men may be inclined to pursue this treatment option is to boost their sex drive. However product instructions and warnings inform users to cover application areas to avoid transferring the drug by skin to skin contact to others. This is kind of hard to do with your female partners. So you either have to stop what you are doing, cover the area, (with what I have no clue, maybe duct tape) or take a shower, or just say no to the sexual activity. I guess there is one other option, you could just go ahead and not protect your female partner, she may just grow a beard, but it is your call.

There are other ways to bring your test levels up, they have injections, needles, so you have to go to doctor once a week or so to get them. A patch that you put on your scrotum, you have to shave it first, then peel that sucker off later. NO THANK YOU! Or the best way is by using a scientifically proven oral testosterone booster.

Oral Testosterone Boosters

There is a simple daily product you can take that is clinically proven to boost level of free testosterone. One such product is called Testatrol, made by Foundation Nutriceuticals.  A company that has been around since the late 1990′s. The products has been sold to hundreds of thousands of men who suffer for Low T, falling testosterone levels, and ED.

There a few other brands that have emerged as well since the drug maker has really brought the issue of lower test levels to light. We have no data on them as most are new, but the Testatrol product has been sold for 10 years now.

One last thing! Unlike the drug company, Foundation Nutriceuticals is so sure of their product they offer a money back guarantee. If you do not feel the benefits of the product just send it back to receive a full refund of the purchase price of the product. I would say they are putting their money where their mouth is.

The former Mr Universe, turned action movie star, turned politician will become group executive editor for the magazines Flex, and Muscle & Fitness, writing monthly columns in the publications and their online websites, American Media said on Friday.

The “Terminator” star, who began his Hollywood career as a bodybuilder and went on to win five Mr. Universe titles, held the same position at the magazines before he was elected California governor in 2003. He is back making block buster movies and selling tickets just like he always has. Could there be a new Conan in the works?

“Bodybuilding has always been part of my life, and I know Muscle & Fitness and Flex will continue to motivate others – as it did me – to lift weights and lead a healthy lifestyle and promote the sport of bodybuilding,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement.

Schwarzenegger’s relationship with the two magazines goes back to 1968, when he was just 21, and he has appeared on their covers more than 60 times. Arnold and Weider brothers, Joe and Ben close friends.

Schwarzenegger, 65, has taken a diverse path since stepping down as California governor in January 2011, returning to movies in films like “The Last Stand” and “The Expendables 2,” writing an autobiography, and launching an eponymous global policy think tank at the University of Southern California’s Los Angeles campus.

Live Lean Today is glad to see the Oak back were he belongs. He is a icon, a idol, and a inspiration not only to us but to billions around the world.

Police allegedly found the substance, in the bedroom of Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympian accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. (The substance was initially thought to be injectable testosterone.)   Also called testocompasutium co-enzyme, the supplement is legal, easily purchased on the Internet, and is available as an oral tablet or an injectable solution. But what is testis compositum, and why was it found in Pistorius’ house?

The substance contains a lengthy list of animal and plant ingredients according to the manufacturer, Heel BHI. Most notably pig testicles, pig heart and pig embryo, and other ingredients. Some of the other ingredients include Spanish fly (a purported aphrodisiac made from crushed beetle), ginseng root and minerals like zinc and phosphorus.   Testis compositum is often marketed for sexual enhancement, muscle recovery and low stamina. Some marketers advertise it as a testosterone booster.   Athletes use testis compositum since it may increase their testosterone levels.

Testosterone supplements are banned for most professional athletes; they’re also known to increase aggression, muscle size, stength, sexual stamina, sexual desire.   Testis compositum doesn’t appear on the list of banned substances of most major sports organizations right now including the World Anti-Doping Agency, according to the Associated Press.   Pistorius underwent two drug tests in London last year for the Paralympics, and tested negative for any banned substances in both tests.

Live Lean Today.com is reported to be an official retailer of HEEL BHI Testis Compositum.

Some of the diets that have been quoted as being used by celebrities to get into shape are commonly familiar to us as well, and we’ll take a closer look at a few.  The Zone Diet is said to have been successfully used by Jennifer Aniston to lose a few pounds.  The Zone Diet breaks your meals up into percentages of macronutrients into a 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat ratio.  Most Dieticians would tell you that your meals should consist of 60% carbs, so this diet is considered low carb because it cuts down 20% of your normal carb intake.  Anna Nicole Smith promoted TrimSpa supplements which promote a number of weight loss supplements for fat burning, metabolic stimulation, appetite suppressant and enhanced thyroid function, and said they helped her lose an abundant amount of weight.

Even Oprah Winfrey, who has made her weight loss struggles very public for many years, credits her trainer Bob Greene and his now famous boot camp for helping her to get the results she has always wanted.  One thing stuck out in my mind when hearing them discuss this issue on her show recently.  She had been up and down with her weight for years and they both had said she didn’t begin to achieve long term success until she became serious and was honest with herself.   This struck me as one of the reasons people fail to see results in their programs.  There is a lack of commitment to the entire process and justification for previous failure.

It is motivating to see celebrities be successful and our natural tendency is to want to follow their lead as role models and use what they use to get the results they have achieved.  There are a lot of supplements available that can give you a boost in reaching weight loss goals and many have been used by celebrities.  But remember to be committed to yourself and the process of getting results.  While there may be a tendency to want to use what celebrities use, every diet, supplement and plan will work different for different people.  Learn what is best for you and your needs and be committed.  Do what is best for you and you will achieve the success you want.

The team at Mucle Tech does tons of research to create the most powerful weight loss and fat burner supplement ever developed.  The all new Hydroxycut Hardcore has an all new more powerful formula to burn more fat.  Hydroxycut Hardcore is now the best fat burner supplement.  The new Hydroxycut Hardcore is ephedra free and utilizes a liquid micro dispersion technology to deliver more fat burning ingredients to your body immediately.

How Hydroxycut Hardcore Works

Through a series of processes Hydroxcut Hardcore challenges the fat burning process to optimize maximal fat burning.   Hydroxycut Hardcore elevates levels of norepinephrine, a key fat-burning hormone, and it ensures that norepinephrine levels remain elevated. Hydroxycut Hardcore blocks the adenosine and alpha-2 receptor, prolonging the fat-burning signal and reducing the effect of negative feedback. Hydroxycut Hardcore further strengthens the fat-loss signal by increasing levels of cAMP, a second messenger of thermogenesis.

Hydroxycut Hardcore elevates levels of norepinephrine, a key fat-burning hormone, by stimulating its release, and it ensures that norepinephrine levels remain elevated by blocking the enzyme responsible for its destruction (COMT). Hydroxycut Hardcore also blocks the adenosine and alpha-2 receptor, prolonging the fat-burning signal and reducing the negative feedback effect on norepinephrine release.

Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, is a neurohormone of the sympathetic nervous system (the fight-or-flight system that prepares the body for action) and in some parts of the central nervous system. It is a chemical means of transmission in the body that binds to various receptors. One of its signals is called norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis. By increasing norepinephrine in the body, you amplify its effect on the various receptors responsible for thermogenesis.

Directions for Hydroxycut Hardcore

As a dietary supplement, take 3 caplets with an 8-ounce glass of water 2 times daily, approximately 30 to 60 minutes before meals. On days you work out, take one of these servings before the workout. Consume ten 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Read the entire label before use and follow directions. Do not exceed 3 caplets in a 4-hour period and/or 6 caplets in a 24-hour period. Do not take within 5 hours of bedtime. To assess individual tolerance, follow the chart.

Day 1 to Day 3    1 capsules, 2 x daily
Day 4 to Day 7    2 capsules, 2 x daily
Day 8 & beyond    3 capsules, 2 x daily

For best results, combine Hydroxycut Hardcore with an intense exercise and nutrition program.

Don’t take Hydroxycut with any other weight loss supplement as some of the ingredients can counteract.  Also, if you miss a day of taking Hydroxycut Hardcore don’t make it up as taking more can be harmful.  On the same note for optimal results take the recommended amounts more is not better.

Start using Hydroxycut Hardcore and experience weight loss and fat burning like never before.  Utilize the research and the team at Muscle Tech to support you with achieving the weight loss you have been dreaming about.

One woman’s success story described her fitness and nutrition program over the course of 90 days and how she had stuggled to lose weight and finally was able to achieve success with the help of a Xyience product.  She went from 260 lbs to 199lbs, while dropping 7 pant sizes from a 22 to a 15, and says she has more energy and feels better than she ever had before.  As a mother of 3, her increased energy level throughout the day allowed her to keep up with her youngest children ages 3 and 5, and she has become even more involved with their daily activity without feeling drained.  She also supplemented this product with a consistent fitness routine that included kick boxing, yoga, Pilates and strength training.  She safely lost the weight and has kept it off ever since and now is enjoying her new healthy lifestyle.

Both men and women can use the supplement safely, and all the Xyience brand products meet all codes set by the World Doping Agency for athletic competition.  For use, take 1 capsule just before your morning meal.  If you feel good are doing well, or if you feel that you need to get an extra energy boost, take another capsule just before your mid-day meal. Don’t exceed 2 at this time, and do not take Xelerate after 3 pm, it may keep you awake late at night as it does contain caffeine.  There is no difference between the product Xelerate and XLR8, only the marketing is different.  Using this product is most effective when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and fitness program.

Hoodia comes from a plant like a cactus, called a succulent, found in South African Deserts of the Kalahari.  It has been harvested and eaten by the Bushmen for years and now has gained popularity in the west.  The Bushmen used it to stave of hunger and thirst while making long treks through the desert.  The primary ingredient in Hoodia is P57.  This works on the hypothalamus by making the brain think the body is not hungry and is more powerful than glucose in its ability to make the body think it is full.

Listed are the positive effects of the best natural weight loss supplement, Hoodia
