Cayenne Benefits
Posted by: | CommentsThe first thing that one might be thinking right now is what the heck is cayenne? Or at least before i heard of it a few months ago. Here it is by one definition. 
cayenne: ground pods and seeds of pungent red peppers of the genus Capsicum. Well we now know the definition of it but what about these reported benefits of cayenne? And why is this on a site dedicated to weight loss? Because health benefits and healthy weight loss are not mutually exclusive, ever. I found this article the other day about the benefits of cayenne and was very surprised by the long list of health benefits it possesses. Here is the link to the original article.
Lets begin with the help it could have as far as your metabolism is involved. It is reported that upon consumption of cayenne your metabolism will spike almost immediately due to the thermogenic effect ( heating up of the body). It also helps the digestion process by activating the enzymes to aid in assimilation and elimination of food by-products thus aiding in weight loss. When combined with green tea the capsaicin one of the main ingredients in cayenne is activated to really blast fat and assist with weight loss. Here is a previous post i had on that subject
And why look at just the direct weight loss benefits? Here are a few of the health benefits of the cayenne pepper.
• Cayenne is a counter-irritant; it brings blood to the surface and allows the toxins to be taken away.
• Human circulation; it is warming; dilating; specific for varicose veins; equalizes the blood pressure in the arterial and venous system; equalizes blood pressure instantly actually.
• This herb is a great food for the circulatory system in that it feeds the necessary elements into the cell structure of the arteries, veins and capillaries so that these regain the elasticity of youth again, and the blood pressure adjusts itself to normal. It rebuilds the tissue in the stomach and heals the stomach and intestinal ulcers; in equalizing the blood circulation, Cayenne produces natural warmth in your body; and in stimulating the peristaltic motion of the intestines, it aids in assimilation and elimination.
I hope this information helps.

Drink Green Tea & Lose Weight
Posted by: | Comments
For those of you who have heard of this it may be of no use to you, but for those of you reading this for the first time then keep reading because this little known dietary supplement or drink can help you lose weight, burn fat and much much more.
I was just reading a couple of articles on the topic and the evidence supporting the weight loss as a result of green tea consumption is definitely legitimate. Here is the link to one article http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/green-tea.html. One of the mechanisms of green teas weight loss is its ability to lower and/or stabilize blood glucose levels, leading to increased energy levels and decreased fat cell storage, is that cool or is that cool?
In this study here green tea was found to increase calorie burning rate and fat oxidation (fat burning). This stuff keeps getting better by the minute. In yet another study, it was found that green tea not only increases metabolism, stabilizes blood sugar levels, increases fat burning, but it also can lower cholesterol levels specifically LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). And in closing, i saw another study showing that when green tea was used in combination with capsaicin weight loss was even more than when green tea was used by itself.
For a weight loss product containing both green tea and capsaicin click here!
On a personal note i consume 1 -2 cups of green tea per day. I do this not only for the weight loss and fat loss benefits, but there also numerous studies that report the reduction of cancer cells in the body due to the high antioxidant values of green tea. So if nothing else you should drink green tea, or consume a supplement such as Prograde’s Weight Loss Supplement to ensure that you are benefitting from the undeniable health benefits of green tea.
The best weight loss supplements
Posted by: | CommentsHello all. And once again welcome to Do This Lose Weight, where you can fast-track your fitness and weight loss goals. It is now almost the end of March and we are currently into the Spring season. Which means now we can be fighting the good battle with our old enemies 1) allergies and 2) weight loss, especially to begin preparations for the summertime and swimsuit season. 
Aww i could almost feel everybody tensing up at the thought of having to show off that not so ready body, however never fear for there is still plenty of time to fight the good fight and win. Especially with the aid of one of these weight loss supplements i am about to show you. These supplements i am about to recommend today are not for the faint of heart, and when i say that i am serious. I have taken 2 of the 3 products i am about to recommend and they are pretty intense, so when you take these i would definitely recommend taking them when you wake up in the morning and then take your second dose around lunchtime and never consume them after 5:00 in the afternoon, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine like i am and if you like a good nights rest as much as i do. In addition, i would also recommend only using 1 bottle of this stuff and then taking some time off of it. There is no evidence showing that these supplements are bad for you but i just always support the clean diet and strict exercise routine, but around this time of year i am always an advocate for the consumption of dietary supplements that can help us really nail our conditioning the way we want too and get the ideal body we have always wanted; with that being said these weight loss supplements will drastically help you with that very pursuit.
1) Hydroxycut Hardcore- i tried a bottle of this a few years ago and followed a very strict diet and got as lean and chiseled as i probably ever have before. It was an intense supplement, but like i said i am very sensitive to caffeine. So take it early in the day and at the end of this post i will place a link for some melatonin to help you fall asleep more easily, as well as improve your quality of sleep.
2) Meltdown by VPX- i actually took this last summer and was on my way to my best physique ever until i injured my shoulder and was out of commission for about 3-4 weeks and never quite got back on track the way that i wanted.
3) Eat Clean- Eat Clean? What the heck does that mean??? i threw you for a curve ball here, you thought it would be another supplement but in fact my recommendation here is to eat a very very very clean diet and then add in one of the previously mentioned weight loss supplements for the best body you have ever owned. That means consume fruits, veggies, complex carbohydrates, lean meats, quality proteins, healthy fats and nuts and seeds. Once you get the eat clean principles down you can then add in these weight loss supplements for the icing on the cake.
So guys and gals, lets get this thing going in the right direction and before you know it we will be more than ready to show off that sexy body.

Whey Protein for Fat Loss?
Posted by: | CommentsHey guys i am back again today, i just took my final for my summer school class so now i can breathe again. But enough about me lets get to the heart of the discussion now. I was just reading my muscular development magazine when i came across a title headlined “Whey Protein Speeds Fat Loss And Spares Muscle Mass” and i knew right away that i wanted to share this information with you all. This particular study found that drinking a whey protein shake 20 minutes before breakfast and before dinner helped people decrease their appetite. The people in the study on a reduced calorie diet who consumed the protein drink before breakfast and dinner lost 8 lbs. of fat vs. the placebo group who only lost 3.5 lbs fat, the groups that lost 8 lbs fat also maintained more muscle mass. This further supports the theory of how it is good to eat more proteins in place of carbohydrates. Without getting too far into the physiological effects of the protein consumption, we will just say that in a nutshell the consumption of protein keeps blood sugar levels stable (no spike) and as a result appetite is decreased. So ↑ protein intake = ↓lowered appetite which in turn = ↓ fat mass and ↑ muscle mass. So guys if you don’t have any whey protein go get yours today it is a regular staple of my diet and should be part of yours too. When purchasing i would recommend the “concentrate” or “blend”. You can get whey protein at GNC, Smoothie Factory,and many other places or click on here or the link below to find more great protein choices at Supplements 101.
Great prices for high quality protein
Keep on pushing guys, Jeff
Supplements to speed up fat loss
Posted by: | CommentsHello all. Today we are going to be switching gears a little bit, instead of focusing on a diet or a particular recipe i wanted to talk about a little known supplement that is proven to help you win in the battle against fat! I came across an article about MCT’s aka Medium Chain Triglycerides, Here is a list of just a few of MCT usage benefits. More energy, reduced body fat, improved carbohydrate and protein metabolism, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. A recent study at Colombia University showed that supplementing in a range of (18-24 grams per day for 16 weeks) decreased total body fat and abdominal fat when compared to the same amount of olive oil in men and women aged 19-50 involved in a weight loss program. Similar results were also shown in a study for type 2 diabetics. Check out this product for yourself here :
