			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today brings the good news section of how to eat properly for your<br />
new lifestyle. The benefits are astounding. You will never be<br />
hungry and you&#8217;ll have energy to spare, or to use in the gym.</p>
<p>You will lose weight. You will lose fat. You will gain lean muscle.<br />
You will have energy. You will enjoy this.</p>
<p>You have to eat if you want to lose weight. Plain and simple. When<br />
you eat the right foods throughout the course of your day, you will<br />
find that you are satisfied and energized all the time.</p>
<p>Yes you will lose weight if you starve yourself, but you lose lean<br />
muscle, not fat. Remember just because you are losing weight<br />
doesn&#8217;t mean that you are losing fat.</p>
<p>Muscle helps dictate metabolism. Muscles burn calories because they<br />
are metabolically active. Energy is passing in and out of muscle<br />
tissues every second, every movement, with every smile and every<br />
sneeze. Your muscles are continuously using energy supplies.</p>
<p>When you starve yourself by not consuming enough calories, your<br />
body doesn&#8217;t react they way you might think. We are not grizzly<br />
bears that feed off of fat reserves during the winter hibernation.<br />
Your body reacts much differently.</p>
<p>If you consume insufficient calories, your body does two things<br />
that are detrimental to healthy weight loss. Your body goes into<br />
survival mode. It begins to shed muscle, because muscle requires<br />
food to create energy for maintenance.</p>
<p>By burning muscle, your brain gets the nutrition that it needs to<br />
function and your body gets rid of what uses the most calories for<br />
daily maintenance. You need calories for survival and your body<br />
will use the best source, muscle, first.</p>
<p>Your body also stores away the fats. Fat is used for survival also,<br />
in times of famine. This is encoded in your DNA. Your body worked<br />
hard to supply the fat cells with reserves and these reserves are<br />
the last thing that your body wants to give up.</p>
<p>When you starve yourself, your body is depleting it&#8217;s muscle and<br />
still trying to store all of the calories you consume in it&#8217;s fat<br />
cells to survive through this time of malnutrition.</p>
<p>Yes you lose weight. Muscle weight. However, you are now retaining<br />
more fat than ever before.</p>
<p>This results in a soft, flabby appearance. Your skin will start to<br />
hang off of your body and you will look loose. Not tight, firm nor<br />
toned.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t want this and by eating often and properly you can change<br />
this.</p>
<p>The only way to lose fat is to maintain lean muscle. You can<br />
maintain lean muscle by feeding it the proper foods at the proper<br />
times.</p>
<p>You need to eat. You need to eat often. You need to eat protein,<br />
carbohydrates and fat. And thankfully, you need to eat junk food.</p>
<p>Welcome to eating for life 101. This is perhaps the most easy to<br />
maintain diet ever. Because you are not dieting. You are eating<br />
properly. However, you can have your cake and eat it too. I&#8217;ll show<br />
you why.</p>
<p>Keep things simple and you will get results. Don&#8217;t add complexity<br />
where it isn&#8217;t necessary. You will need to follow a few basic<br />
guidelines.</p>
<p>First Rule of Eating For Life<br />
Drink. As we talked about before, water is key. Caffeine is great<br />
too. Unsweetened tea, hot or cold, coffee without milk, and any<br />
other no calorie beverages that you like. Diet soda is OK in<br />
moderation. Shoot for a gallon of no calorie beverages daily, and<br />
use water for most of it.</p>
<p>Stay away from milk, sodas, fruit juice and other calorie/sugar<br />
rich beverages. Sucrose glucose,  fructose and lactose are your<br />
enemy.</p>
<p>Second Rule of Eating For Life<br />
Eat 4-5 meals per day, every 4-5 hours. Eat an equal portion of<br />
protein, low GI carbohydrates, and vegetables. Keep things simple<br />
by eating the same few meals over and over again.</p>
<p>This prevents to much planning and decision making. Simplicity<br />
yields great results. Let your plan revolve around a few basic<br />
ingredients from your protein, carbohydrate, and vegetable source.<br />
This eliminates confusion and provides clarity.</p>
<p>Third Rule of Eating For Life<br />
Understand the Glycemic Index. Carbohydrates are not bad. Simple<br />
carbohydrates are bad. Any food or drink that contains sugar,<br />
fructose, glucose, lactose, or any other &#8220;-ose&#8221; is not on your plan.</p>
<p>Simple carbohydrates are also found in starches like white bread,<br />
potatoes, pasta, cereal, breading on fried foods, and rice. These<br />
items all rank high on the glycemic index.</p>
<p>These carbs are immediately digested and turned into sugar so your<br />
body can use them. When they turn into sugar, your body releases<br />
insulin, and stores these sugars as fat to keep your blood sugar<br />
levels even.</p>
<p>Conversely, low GI carbs digest slowly. Slow digestion prevents the<br />
release of insulin, keeps you satisfied, and helps maintain<br />
consistent energy levels.</p>
<p>Fourth Rule of Eating For Life<br />
Take a day off. Not just take a day off, but eat as much of the<br />
sweets and junk food that you have been avoiding all week. This has<br />
an amazing affect on fat loss and metabolism.</p>
<p>Your body will get accustomed to your new style of eating. It will<br />
adapt to the changes that you make if you don&#8217;t add weekly<br />
variation. So eat cake and candy and ice cream and pizza to excess.</p>
<p>This dramatic increase in calories keeps you satisfied mentally and<br />
gets you through a disciplined week. At the end of the week you<br />
have a day to indulge or fit it into your week for social outings<br />
and merriment (drinking).</p>
<p>It also increases your metabolism by insuring that your body<br />
doesn&#8217;t adjust to the same things day after day. Taking a free day<br />
keeps your body guessing and revs up your metabolism for the coming<br />
week.</p>
<p>It is a necessary mental and metabolic break that makes this eating<br />
lifestyle sustainable for extended periods of time.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for rules. You can use this plan for your everyday life.<br />
You can use it permanently to lose mass amounts of fat. You can use<br />
it for a few weeks to lose 10 extra holiday pounds. You can use it<br />
to build muscle. You can introduce it to kids. The possibilities<br />
are endless.</p>
<p>Just keep it simple. Stay away from sugars and white carbs except<br />
for your day off. Eat the same meals over and over. Too many<br />
options gives you the opportunity to make an exception &#8220;just this<br />
once&#8221; and that can turn into unknowing deviation.</p>
<p>And if you get off track just get back on. Once you experience how<br />
easy this is you will see how you can get right back into your new<br />
healthy habits.</p>
<p>And one more awesome thing to note. If you incorporate a<br />
resistance/weight training routine into this plan, not only will<br />
you see great gains in lean muscle, but you have given yourself a 1<br />
hour time frame after a minimum 20 minute lifting session to eat<br />
whatever you want.</p>
<p>Preferably lots of protein with any carbs of your choice. Eat a<br />
steak sandwich or a burrito or a pizza with extra chicken. Go for<br />
it. Your muscles will be hungry after your workout and they will<br />
receive priority for energy replacement.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget, you are what you eat 6 days a week so don&#8217;t go<br />
overboard. Feed your muscles good foods and fats and they will<br />
thank you for it.</p>
<p>Thanks and have another awesome day<br />
Erick with Childish Energy</p>
<p>P.S. If eating often enough throughout the course of your day is<br />
difficult at times, try this meal replacement shake to keep you on<br />
track. Just substitute one of these when your tight on time and<br />
only have a few minutes to knock out a meal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building strong, lean muscle is an important part of your fat loss<br />
and energy increasing plan. And fortunately, getting stronger and<br />
building muscle is much easier than most people think.</p>
<p>&#8211;  A Quick Note:</p>
<p>If you are in a rush to begin building strong lean muscles<br />
we have a product recommendation that will be useful to you.</p>
<p>It is called &#8220;Bulk &amp; Muscle Formula Protein Drink Mix&#8221;.<br />
It is designed to increase lean muscle mass when you<br />
lift weights.</p>
<p>Get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=499910&amp;cid=792842<br />
Select different flavors with the drop down list below the<br />
&#8220;Add To Cart&#8221; Button.</p>
<p>&#8211; Learn about lean muscle and why it is critical to your weight loss goals.</p>
<p>Once you have spent a few weeks doing some form of cardio consistently<br />
and lowering your calories, you&#8217;ll find yourself craving more<br />
productive workouts.</p>
<p>Seriously, the new energy and lifestyle you&#8217;ve created will start<br />
to sink in and you&#8217;ll start to want to do more to further advance<br />
your goals.</p>
<p>This is a turning point for you. Your mind and body will feel more<br />
productive and you&#8217;ll want to keep striving to create more<br />
successes in your life. So let&#8217;s add the next piece to the puzzle.</p>
<p>Building lean muscle will happen very quickly and the resulting fat<br />
loss will be visible in no time. Though you may not see this<br />
transformation because you are obsessed with it, the people around<br />
you will certainly start to notice.</p>
<p>Family, friends and co-workers will begin remarking that you look<br />
different. Have you lost weight? You look great. Wow, have you been<br />
working out? This is motivation, it&#8217;s not time to stop creating the<br />
habits that you&#8217;ve begun. It&#8217;s time to feed off this positive<br />
energy and use it as fuel to keep yourself disciplined in your diet<br />
and workouts.</p>
<p>So how do you build lean muscle? At this point in the game, you<br />
want to incorporate weights into your routine on the days in<br />
between your cardio workouts.</p>
<p>Simply lifting weights is not going to make you look like a<br />
bodybuilder. That takes years of dedication to the gym and proper<br />
diet. But, lifting weights will make you stronger and help you to<br />
achieve that lean look that you&#8217;re striving for.</p>
<p>Lean muscle mass and weight loss may sound contradictory, but in<br />
reality, building lean muscle is the best way to boost your<br />
metabolism and lose fat. When you boost your metabolism, you burn<br />
more calories.</p>
<p>When you incorporate weight lifting into your routine, your muscles<br />
deplete their energy stores and muscle tissue begins to break down.<br />
Your body will naturally begin to build stronger muscle and attempt<br />
to replace the energy stores that you have used.</p>
<p>As your body realizes that it needs to replace this lost energy and<br />
repair muscle tissue, it will begin to feed off of its fat<br />
reserves. Fat will not produce energy if you just sit around<br />
waiting for it to happen. Fat can only be metabolized, or converted<br />
into energy when you create a need for it.</p>
<p>Now that your muscles need new sources of energy, they look<br />
everywhere to find it. It takes your body a few days to repair and<br />
restore muscle. This means that it is burning calories 24 hours a<br />
day to mend the breakdown of muscle tissue. Even when you are<br />
sleeping, your body&#8217;s metabolism is still on high burning calories.</p>
<p>Of course your body feeds itself off of the foods that you eat, but<br />
once your stomach is empty and there is still repair work to be<br />
done, it will attack your fat cells. They&#8217;ve been waiting for this.<br />
That is why they are there in the first place.</p>
<p>As a child, you are constantly growing. This continuous growth can<br />
only be sustained by having a high metabolism. Whatever you ate,<br />
your body would use as fuel to build itself bigger.</p>
<p>And then you reach adulthood, probably sometime in your twenties,<br />
and you stop growing. Your metabolism slows down, but it still<br />
needs to find a place to put the calories that you are eating. This<br />
results in fat.</p>
<p>Since your body is no longer growing like it did as a child, you<br />
need to stay active and use your muscles to keep your body<br />
metabolizing the foods that you eat. If you don&#8217;t, you will be<br />
overweight.</p>
<p>But you can change this. Lifting weights is simply tricking your<br />
muscles into growing, and growing triggers your body to burn<br />
calories to repair itself. Say goodbye to the fat, because it&#8217;s not<br />
going to be there much longer.</p>
<p>A good weight training routine revolves around one principal,<br />
Progressive Overload. This is a gradual increase of stress placed<br />
on your muscles. Each week in the gym you should be doing more than<br />
you did the previous week.</p>
<p>Your workout will get easier the longer you do it. That means that<br />
each week you need to make your workout a little bit harder. This<br />
is progressive overload. Do more this week than you did the<br />
previous.</p>
<p>Progressive overload is easy if you manipulate a few factors.<br />
Either increase the weight you are lifting, strive to do more<br />
repetitions, or simply take shorter rests between sets. That&#8217;s it.<br />
Not very scientific is it?</p>
<p>There are as many workouts as there are fish in the sea. Just keep<br />
in mind a few basic ideas as you begin your weight training routine.</p>
<p>You must warm-up before you start weight training. The last thing<br />
you want is to injure yourself and warming your body up is how you<br />
can prevent this.</p>
<p>Jump on a treadmill or an elliptical machine for 10 minutes before<br />
you start your workout. Work hard enough to break a sweat. This<br />
gets your blood pumping and your heart working. A 10 minute warm-up<br />
lets your body know that a work out is on the way.</p>
<p>&#8211; In the next lesson we&#8217;ll talk about how to keep motivated by<br />
measuring your progress. What should you be measuring? Is it<br />
your weight? Is it your waist? Find out in the next lesson.</p>
<p>Have another awesome and energized day.<br />
Erick with Childish Energy</p>
<p>PS:<br />
To really increase your lean muscle it is real work. In fact it<br />
is really hard work, but the pay-off is like hitting the lottery.</p>
<p>Because it is hard work and a lot of different things go into<br />
making your body into a solid high powered machine it is important<br />
to supplement correctly.</p>
<p>That is why we recommend &#8220;Bulk &amp; Muscle Formula Protein Drink Mix&#8221;.<br />
Getting everything you need in one shot can be a headache to prepare.<br />
With this you can easily get it right every time.</p>
<p>Also it is a very special kind of protein mix. It has all the things<br />
you would expect from a good protein shake. Amino acids  but this<br />
also has a few additional items in it that are critical to feeling<br />
good and obsorbing the protein correctly.</p>
<p>It contains Aminogen which is a A natural, plant-derived enzyme.<br />
It is ideal for increasing lean body mass and strength and promoting<br />
deep muscle recovery. It also supports protein digestion and<br />
reducing or eliminating the gas, bloating and constipation protein<br />
can sometimes cause.</p>
<p>It comes in Chocolate or Vanilla.</p>
<p>And as always, if you don&#8217;t like it you can always contact us<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can focus on Feeling vibrant and alive by understanding how<br />
Oxygenation forces your body to create more energy.</p>
<p>Forcing oxygen into your body creates a sense of wellbeing and it<br />
(along with drinking a lot of water) also has been reported to<br />
help clear your sinuses and increases your metabolism.</p>
<p>This increase in oxygen to the blood combined with enough water<br />
and small amounts of caffeine throughout the day creates explosive<br />
results in your energy.</p>
<p>&#8211; A quick note:</p>
<p>As always we do have a recommended product to help you kick<br />
start the things we recommend you do. In this case we have<br />
a product that will help you stay hydrated during your cardio<br />
routine.</p>
<p>It is called H3O and it helps to replace electrolytes<br />
needed to produce energy. These are often lost during cardio<br />
and aerobic exercise.</p>
<p>You can get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=1184176124641&amp;cid=792842<br />
Use the drop down below the &#8220;Add to Cart&#8221; button to select flavors.</p>
<p>Additionaly here is a great audio from Zig Ziglar that discusses<br />
goals and weight loss. He speaks specifically about running.</p>
<p>It is a little older but still relevant.</p>
<p>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743537262?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwchildishen-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0743537262</p>
<p>&#8211; Here is the information you need to maximize your weight loss<br />
with a solid cardio routine.</p>
<p>For this lesson we are going to focus on cardio vascular exercise,<br />
often just called cardio.</p>
<p>If you could create more energy by working out 3 times a week<br />
would it be worth it? To increase how good you feel every day only<br />
takes about 1 hour a week. That is 1 hour out of the 168<br />
available in a week.</p>
<p>According to the centers for desease and prevention control:</p>
<p>The percent of noninstitutionalized adults age 20 years and over<br />
who are overweight or obese is 66.3%.</p>
<p>With 66% of Americans overweight, it seems that many of us<br />
are not following any fitness guidelines, most of which suggest<br />
20­60 minutes of exercise 3­5 days a week.</p>
<p>How much is would it be worth to actually get out and make a<br />
habit of this?</p>
<p>What could you do to make it fun?</p>
<p>Why is it worth your time to get out and do some cardio?</p>
<p>What is cardio?</p>
<p>Any exercise that raises your heart rate for a prolonged period<br />
of time such as walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, rowing or<br />
any of the numerous aerobic workouts.</p>
<p>So simply put cardio is raising your heart rate to a level<br />
where it is working hard but is comfortable and can me maintained<br />
for a prolonged period.</p>
<p>Why is Cardio important? The list is long but it is worth<br />
knowing these things as a reminder to help keep motivated.</p>
<p>Because cardio:<br />
&#8211; Increases your ability to burn calories which aides in<br />
weight loss.<br />
&#8211; Makes it easier to burn fat because it increases your lung<br />
capacity. (Lungs bring in oxygen, oxygen is used to burn energy.)<br />
&#8211; Reduces the amount of time it takes to recover from a workout<br />
because it increases the amount of blood your body can deliver.<br />
It does this by strengthening your heart, making it easier to<br />
circulate your blood.<br />
&#8211; Lowers your chances of heart attack by lowering your blood<br />
pressure.<br />
&#8211; Counters the affects of high cholesterol, high blood pressure,<br />
and diabetes.<br />
&#8211; It also reduces your chances of osteoporosis by increasing<br />
bone density.<br />
&#8211; Makes your body burn more fat in 2 ways. It improved muscle mass,<br />
which burns more calories. And, you burn a lot of sugar along with<br />
stored calories from fat during your cardio activity.</p>
<p>&#8211; Hightens your ability to produce more energy.</p>
<p>These three things all happen because cardio naturally releases<br />
mood altering chemicals in your brain. Some call it a runner&#8217;s high.<br />
But it amounts to these.<br />
&#8211; It helps you sleep better.<br />
&#8211; It makes you feel better.<br />
&#8211; It helps reduce stress levels.</p>
<p>By doing cardio consistently you can raise your Metabolic Rate.<br />
Studies have shown that with regular cardio­vascular exercise<br />
your resting metabolic level will increase.</p>
<p>This increase in your metabolic rate is one way in which cardio<br />
can help you to lose weight.</p>
<p>A Strong heart is key to Good Health Your heart is a muscle.<br />
Therefore working it makes it stronger. A stronger cardio­vascular<br />
system means more capillaries delivering more oxygen to cells in<br />
your muscles.</p>
<p>This enables your cells to burn more fat during both exercise and<br />
inactivity.  Bottom line, you need cardio if you want to hit your<br />
weight loss goals and lower your stress to manageable levels.</p>
<p>Where to begin?</p>
<p>Lets start with warming up and stretching.</p>
<p>A warm­up of 5 to 10 minutes at low intensity will prepare your<br />
muscles for exercise and get your heart rate up.  Your goal is to<br />
break a small sweat, get the blood circulating and your body<br />
ready to move.</p>
<p>Any cardio equipment is good; treadmill, elliptical, bike,<br />
stair climber, rower.  If you don&#8217;t have access to these pieces<br />
of equipment that is okay. Running, brisk walking, jumping rope,<br />
chasing the kids, riding a bike.  What ever works for you,<br />
what ever you enjoy.  Just get your body moving and your heart<br />
rate up.</p>
<p>The right way to stretch is slow and relaxed.  Do not bounce, this<br />
can actually cause injury.  You should stretch to the point of Mild<br />
Tension, easy off if the stretch feels painful, remember stretching<br />
is best preformed slow and relaxed.</p>
<p>Stretching is progressive, over time you will be able to achieve<br />
more and more so don&#8217;t rush it.  You should hold the stretch for a<br />
minimum of 15 seconds each, without bouncing.</p>
<p>Breath slow and natural, do not hold your breathe while stretching.<br />
Remember to relax.  Try to stretch a little further with each stretch.<br />
But only to the point of mild tension.</p>
<p>Stretching before exercise is good for preventing injury.<br />
Stretching after exercise is good for lowing muscle pain and<br />
increasing flexibility.</p>
<p>When beginning a fitness program, concentrate on good posture and<br />
form before you work on increasing the intensity of your workout.<br />
Proper form will allow you to work more efficiently and aid you<br />
in avoiding injury.</p>
<p>If you are using walking for your workout, work on increasing the<br />
number of minutes/miles walked in each session.</p>
<p>How to Begin:<br />
1.  Choose an activity that you enjoy.  If its some thing<br />
that you enjoy then you&#8217;ll probably do it. Walking is a<br />
good place to start because you can do it any where and<br />
it doesn&#8217;t require any special equipment.</p>
<p>Any of the things I mentioned earlier;  treadmill, elliptical,<br />
bike, stair climber, rower,  running, brisk walking,<br />
jumping rope, swimming, sports will also do.</p>
<p>2.  Start with 2 or 3 days of your chosen activity a week with a<br />
rest day between workouts.</p>
<p>3.  Begin with a 5­10 minute warm up of light cardio to<br />
gradually increase heart rate.</p>
<p>4.  After your warm up, increase your pace and intensity to<br />
slightly harder than comfortable. You may only be able to<br />
exercise for a few minutes at a time, but that will quickly<br />
change if you&#8217;re consistent.  Exercise as long as possible<br />
with the goal being a consistent 30 minutes, not including<br />
the warn up and the cool down.</p>
<p>5.  End each workout with a cool down of light cardio and stretch<br />
the muscles you&#8217;ve worked for increasing flexibility and lowering<br />
muscle pain.</p>
<p>6.  Each week, increase your workout time by a few minutes until<br />
you can work continuously for 30 minutes a session.</p>
<p>7.  Don&#8217;t worry about distance or pace. For the first few weeks,<br />
focus on showing up for your workouts and building time.<br />
You have plenty of time to work on your speed and distance.</p>
<p>8.  After 4­6 weeks, change your routine by adding another day<br />
of exercise, increasing your pace/intensity, adding a new activity<br />
and/or increasing the amount of time you exercise.</p>
<p>Ways you can improve your work out:</p>
<p>Proper clothing and footware for your chosen activity is a great start.</p>
<p>Easy does it, start slowly. Doing too much too soon can lead to injuries<br />
and much pain.</p>
<p>Try new exercises.  Doing the same thing can lead to weight loss<br />
plateaus and boredom.</p>
<p>Be prepared for exercise by feeding your body regularly throughout the<br />
day and by staying hydrated.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re sore or tired, give yourself extra recovery day if needed.</p>
<p>Stretching is always good.</p>
<p>Find a buddy/partner, some one who has similar goals, who&#8217;ll help to<br />
motivate you.</p>
<p>&#8211; In the next lesson you will learn why lean muscle mass is the target<br />
you should be aiming for. Lean mass heps to burn the fat and it<br />
makes you Feel powerful both mentally and physically.</p>
<p>Have another awesome and energized day.<br />

<p>PS:<br />
It is good to note that running depletes your body of electrolytes.</p>
<p>They are needed to produce high levels of energy. These are often lost<br />
during cardio and aerobic exercise. So be sure to pay close attention to it.</p>
<p>The product we recommend for replacing your electrolytes is called H3o and<br />
it comes in some great flavors.</p>
<p>You can get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=1184176124641&amp;cid=792842<br />
Use the drop down below the &#8220;Add to Cart&#8221; button to select flavors.</p>
<p>The adio I mentioned previously is really interesting and motivating.<br />
It discusses goals and weight loss. Zig speaks specifically about running<br />
and is a very entertaining educator.</p>
<p>It is a little older but still relevant.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learn the key distinction that is the absolute difference between<br />
losing weight and regaining it back or Losing It Permanently!</p>
<p>&#8211;  A Quick Note:</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re not prepared to hit the weights just yet<br />
we recommend you reduce your calories to jump start your weight loss.</p>
<p>But when you do this you have to be careful to keep a balance of<br />
protein and nutrition so we recommend a meal replacement called<br />
&#8220;Formula 1&#8243;.</p>
<p>Get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=62414&amp;cid=792835<br />
Select different flavors with the drop down list below the<br />
&#8220;Add To Cart&#8221; Button.</p>
<p>&#8211; Why NOT Losing Weight isn&#8217;t such a bad thing!?</p>
<p>In order to feel good about the hard work you are doing you need to<br />
see results. To lose the weight you want and see lasting results<br />
understanding the difference between weight loss and fat loss is key.</p>
<p>To see your weight loss clearly you must not obsess over your bathroom<br />
scale, rely more on visual stimulus, and your pay attention to your<br />
sense of well-being.</p>
<p>The difference between fat loss and weight loss is critical to<br />
getting your body into the shape you have always dreamed about.</p>
<p>Taking measurements is the best way to see the results of your fat<br />
loss plan. Just because your weight has not changed does not mean<br />
that fat isn&#8217;t being lost.</p>
<p>If you are eating properly, drinking plenty of water, and working<br />
out something interesting happens. You will get smaller, but your<br />
weight loss slows down.</p>
<p>To grasp this concept, let&#8217;s take a closer look at lean muscle. Why<br />
do we call it lean muscle? Correct, it has no fat. The lack of fat<br />
creates greater density.</p>
<p>Muscle is actually 3 times as dense as fat. That means that 3<br />
pounds of muscle occupies the same space as 1 pound of fat.</p>
<p>(This helps to visualize this idea.)</p>
<p>1 pound of muscle = O<br />
1 pound of fat    = OOO</p>
<p>5 pounds of muscle = OOOOO<br />
5 pounds of fat    = OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</p>
<p>After looking at 5 pounds of fat, you can see how fat can start<br />
to completely consume your shape. For a true to life example,<br />
take a look in the butcher section of your favorite grocery<br />
store. 1 pound of bacon, which on average is 50% fat,<br />
occupies twice as much space as 1 pound of lean meat such as<br />
filet mignon.</p>
<p>So don&#8217;t be so consumed with the almighty scale. With proper diet,<br />
water, and exercise, you will reach a point where weight loss slows<br />
down. But that doesn&#8217;t mean you have stopped losing fat. You have<br />
also started building muscle.</p>
<p>As your body begins to build muscle, not superhero bodybuilder<br />
muscle, but lean toned and defined muscle, it will begin to add<br />
lean mass. This is what you want to achieve.</p>
<p>Not only does that muscle give you more energy to move through your<br />
day and allow you to have more intense workouts, but it also has an<br />
affect on your metabolism.</p>
<p>Adding muscle will make your body feel lighter&#8230; This goes a long<br />
way toward helping you get up and get moving everyday.</p>
<p>Each pound of muscle in your body burns between 35-50 calories<br />
daily just to maintain itself. 5 pounds of muscle will burn at<br />
least 1,200 calories on a weekly basis.</p>
<p>One of the things you must be careful of when it comes to losing<br />
weight and fat is knowing when to reduce calories and when to just<br />
replace bad calories with good ones.</p>
<p>The equation is simple if you want to lose weight with diet alone.<br />
Eat less calories than your body will naturally use in a day. If<br />
you are not exercising, you must be very strict in monitoring where<br />
these calories come from.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say that you need 2,000 calories to maintain current body<br />
weight. These 2,000 calories are burned daily through normal<br />
metabolic processes.</p>
<p>If you consume more calories than you burn, your body will store<br />
the extra calories as fat for use at a later time. An extra 3,500<br />
calories turns into one pound of fat in your body.</p>
<p>However, if you take in less calories than you need , your body<br />
will burn fat to maintain normal daily functions. A 500 calorie<br />
daily reduction results in a pound of fat being lost in a week.</p>
<p>You have to be careful where your calories come from, especially if<br />
you&#8217;re not exercising. Avoid calories high on the Glycemic Index<br />
(GI) like those found in sodas, candy, even fruit and juices. These<br />
calories come from sucrose, glucose, and fructose. All of which are<br />
simple sugars.</p>
<p>The Glycemic Index (GI) measures the effect of foods on your blood<br />
sugar levels. This is critical information that you need to know to<br />
lose fat.</p>
<p>When your blood sugar levels are high, your pancreas releases<br />
insulin, a storage hormone, to help your body process the sugars.<br />
Insulin allows the sugars, or glucose, to be stored by your cells.<br />
Particularly fat cells.</p>
<p>Your body will burn the glucose first, giving you a sugar rush and<br />
leaving the fat behind. The glucose is already in your fat cells.<br />
Any unused sugar is then easily converted into fat. Your fat cells<br />
enlarge and weight gain increases. This is counterproductive.</p>
<p>The benefits of eating foods low on the GI are many. Foods with a<br />
low GI rating are digested more slowly. They don&#8217;t heighten your<br />
blood sugar levels, which we already know triggers an invasion of<br />
insulin.</p>
<p>With less insulin present, your body burns the low GI calories<br />
rather than storing them. And they provide real, sustained energy.<br />
You won&#8217;t get that sugar high and then crash. You&#8217;ll stay constant<br />
all day. And you&#8217;ll be full. That slow breakdown is satisfying.</p>
<p>Again, you must be cautious here and truly understand this<br />
information. Just because carbs are OK, doesn&#8217;t mean you can go<br />
crazy. Everything in moderation. Don&#8217;t eat a heaping plate of<br />
spaghetti. Eat a side dish of whole wheat pasta.</p>
<p>You can use a general tell all to know if a food ranks high on the<br />
GI. Overly sweet fruits and vegetables, such as pineapple, raisins,<br />
and carrots have a high GI. They rank right up there with pure sugar.</p>
<p>Any white carbohydrate ranks high as well. Stay away from potatoes,<br />
white bread and regular pasta. These are all simple carbohydrates<br />
that easily convert to sugar. It is also easy to eat this foods in<br />
excess as they are satisfying.</p>
<p>Keep these ideas in mind. We will provide specific information on<br />
diet and the Glycemic Index in the coming newsletters.</p>
<p>Presented today are a few concepts that you need to familiarize<br />
yourself with. It is a lot of information and we will help you<br />
achieve a greater understanding during the next few emails.</p>
<p>The more you know the wiser you grow.</p>
<p>Here is a quick recap of the information provided today.</p>
<p>-Visual measurements are better than relying on you scale.</p>
<p>-Fat loss changes your shape as much as weight loss.</p>
<p>-Each pound of toned, lean muscle will bun 35-50 calories daily.</p>
<p>-One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories.</p>
<p>-Muscle is 3 times as dense as fat.</p>
<p>-Simple sugars ranked high on the Glycemic Index (GI) promote fat<br />
growth.</p>
<p>-Complex carbohydrates ranked low on the GI keep you energized and<br />
lowers your blood sugar levels.</p>
<p>-Lower blood sugar inhibits the release of insulin which stores<br />
calories in your fat cells.</p>
<p>-Keep up the good work. Don&#8217;t get overwhelmed in the information.<br />
Clarity comes with practice.</p>
<p>So be thinking about what it takes to get lifting weights. Add<br />
weight lifting into your daily routine, alone with cardio.</p>
<p>Bill Phillips wrote a great book that is both simple and clear<br />
on how you should be working out. It is pretty intense but it is<br />
worth doing.</p>
<p>You can get &#8220;Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength&#8221;<br />
here &#8211; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060193395?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwchildishen-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0060193395</p>
<p>&#8211; In the next lesson we will discuss the power of your cardio<br />
workout and how it will help you increase your energy levels.</p>
<p>Have another awesome and energized day.<br />
Erick with Childish Energy</p>
<p>PS:<br />
So if you&#8217;re not sure that you want to hit the weights yet we&#8217;ll<br />
save it for lesson 7 and for now we&#8217;ll recommend you reduce your<br />
calorie intake by using a meal replacement that still satisfies yet<br />
reduces your calories enough to force your existing system to begin<br />
the fat burning process.</p>
<p>You can kind of think of this as a primer&#8230; lower your calories<br />
using &#8220;Formula 1&#8243; for about 3 weeks and begin stretching and walking.</p>
<p>This is how our other members have eased into a strong workout routine.</p>
<p>And as always, if you don&#8217;t like it you can always contact us<br />
to return it and &#8220;Childish Energy&#8221; will eat the cost sending<br />
you an additional 10%. We are so confident you will be happy with<br />
&#8220;Formula 1&#8243; We Will Refund Your Cost 110%.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The single most effective secret to losing weight is often<br />
the hardest for most to see. The likelihood of you knowing<br />
what the secret is but ignoring it is very high.</p>
<p>Are you hoping there is a faster easier way to lose the weight<br />
you want? If so you are likely missing the most powerful secret<br />
to weight loss there is.</p>
<p>A Quick Note:<br />
&#8211;  We don&#8217;t have a product recommendation for this. Well not a<br />
specific one.</p>
<p>To make a change it is recommended that you start paying attention<br />
to things that encourage you to think clearly and reasonably<br />
about your weight loss.</p>
<p>www.childishenergy.com sponsors competitions and other community<br />
weight loss activities. We recommend you participate on our web site.</p>
<p>Finding encouragement by reading books by authors who provide<br />
useful information to help you lose weight.</p>
<p>Reading Books by Authors Like Bill Phillips is a great place to<br />
start:</p>
<p>Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength.</p>
<p>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060193395?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jfgrissom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0060193395</p>
<p>To keep inspired seek out motivational speakers/authors like<br />
Jack Canfield, Tony Robbins, and Timothy Ferriss. These people<br />
inspire through spoken and written word. They make perfect companions<br />
during your cardio workout.</p>
<p>Here is a great book (it is available in audio too) from<br />
Zig Ziglar that discusses goals and weight loss.<br />
It is a little older but still relevant.</p>
<p>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743537262?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwchildishen-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0743537262</p>
<p>Make it a point to find places with encouraging weight loss<br />
stories. Here is one place we recommend for being inspired.<br />
These are real stories from real people.</p>
<p>http://www.shopherbalife.com/ecm/success/success.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;category=weight_mgmt</p>
<p>There is nothing for sale there but these are very encouraging to<br />
read about.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Learn why controlling your environment is so critical to losing weight.</p>
<p>What if you had some &#8220;thing&#8221; that automatically forced your body to<br />
lose fat?</p>
<p>How valuable would it be if you had a tool that could force you to<br />
lose weight?</p>
<p>What if you had a device that could get you up and out of bed every<br />
day and into the gym?</p>
<p>Would this tool be worth investing in?</p>
<p>If you had a tool that guaranteed 100% that you would lose weight.<br />
Would it be worth your time to focus on using it? Would it be worth<br />
your time spending money on it?</p>
<p>To get the maximum out of any good investment that yields incredible<br />
returns requires money, time, and energy. The tool we recommend is<br />
no exception to this rule, but you already own it. To become more<br />
than you are now&#8230; More than you ever dreamed about&#8230; You need only<br />
invest into it.</p>
<p>You already own the tool that guarantees your weight loss success.</p>
<p>That tool is your state of mind&#8230; the way you think.</p>
<p>I know, this sounds like a bunch of non-sense but think about it<br />
for a minute.</p>
<p>Your mind is the tool that will allow you to control your destiny. If<br />
you are fat or lean it is because you have allowed your brain to make<br />
that outcome happen.</p>
<p>Up to now, your thinking (or stinkin&#8217; thinkin&#8217;) has held you back from<br />
reaching and getting the things you want in life.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t believe you can lose weight on your own, would it be<br />
possible to drop the pounds you have been trying to lose? Absolutely<br />
not&#8230; you won&#8217;t lose the weight you want to because you have to first<br />
believe it is possible.</p>
<p>Nobody acts on things they don&#8217;t believe in, at least not for long<br />
anyway. And to lose weight you must act. You must move.<br />
You must breath deeply. And, you must feel good doing it<br />
or it won&#8217;t last.</p>
<p>Proper thinking is the secret foundation of your weight loss program.</p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t seeing the weight loss results you want, it could be<br />
because you are acting from the premise that something other than<br />
consistency and self discipline will make you lose weight. Like a<br />
diet pill, drugs, or some other type of short lived weight loss tool.</p>
<p>This is the reason you haven&#8217;t lost the weight you have always wanted<br />
to lose. In order to begin this process of permanent weight loss you<br />
must accept this idea as the truth and begin approaching everything<br />
from that paradigm.</p>
<p>You see the only thing that will force you to lose weight is YOU.</p>
<p>No amount of protein shakes, diet products, or proper eating will do<br />
anything for you until you come to a few conclusions&#8230;</p>
<p>Nobody can lose your weight for you and no &#8220;thing&#8221; will work until you<br />
make losing weight the highest priority in your life. Or at least one of<br />
the highest priorities in your life.</p>
<p>&#8211;  That means losing weight is more important than eating out and<br />
socializing. When your friends or loved ones invite you to eat<br />
food you know is bad, pay attention to what you&#8217;re eating.<br />
Control it, or it will control you.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Your weight loss is more important than being embarrassed.<br />
When you feel uncomfortable jogging or at the gym, or in a swim<br />
suit. Don&#8217;t allow yourself to feel victimized by it! Instead do something<br />
about it! Workout and get your body moving and breathing.</p>
<p>&#8211;  It is more important than feeling good in the moment.<br />
If you are depressed, feeling down, or feel like you need to eat<br />
to feel better remember this is the path to feeling worse later.<br />
Don&#8217;t sacrifice what you &#8220;really want&#8221; for what you &#8220;want right now&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Your fat loss is more important than work.<br />
Yes&#8230; you heard that right. Make time at work to drink water<br />
correct, eat correctly, take your supplements. In the end you will<br />
feel better and therefore perform better at work.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Your Weight loss program is more important that friends. If your<br />
friends are true they will understand that you want to change and<br />
if you tell them they should understand. If they don&#8217;t understand<br />
get new friends.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Losing Weight has to be more important than muscle aches. If you feel<br />
sore or ache after working out it means you are getting stronger.<br />
Your tolerance for pain will increase, a as you work out. Don&#8217;t<br />
go out and hurt yourself but be aware that real change comes<br />
from aggressively working hard.</p>
<p>Being lean, strong and full of energy has to be something you crave<br />
more than eating poor quality food, sleeping, or money.</p>
<p>Healthy strong and alive are reserved for the people who consciously<br />
attack these things and force them to their will. When you make a<br />
decision everyday to be faithful to what you really want. You will<br />
have it&#8230;</p>
<p>When you are in a moment of weakness you must make the decision to<br />
be lean strong and alive. Don&#8217;t trade what you really want for what<br />
you want right now (Yes, I meant to say this two times in this email to you).</p>
<p>When you are tempted to sleep instead of workout or eat a meal that is<br />
unhealthy rather than something healthy catch yourself and remember<br />
who you want to be.</p>
<p>Losing weight is really about becoming a stronger person, in every<br />
sense.</p>
<p>&#8211; Your body must become physically stronger to lose weight.<br />
&#8211; Your mind must become stronger to resist the temptations of junk food.<br />
&#8211; Your spirit (the things that motivate you) must become stronger to<br />
keep you on the right path.</p>
<p>How do you go about changing your mindset?<br />
One of the easiest ways is to do the opposite of what you want in a<br />
moment of weakness.</p>
<p>&#8211;  If you don&#8217;t feel like taking your supplements, be 100% sure to take them.<br />
&#8211;  If you want to eat a Twinkie, make 100% sure you don&#8217;t.<br />
&#8211;  If you want to sleep in rather than workout, get your ass up and get going<br />
(trick yourself if you have too).</p>
<p>Here are some times when you are likely to feel at your weakest:</p>
<p>&#8211;  When you wake up in the morning it is hard. You just want to sleep.</p>
<p>To beat this, do the following:<br />
&#8211;  Think about things to look forward to before you go to bed<br />
the night before.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Be sure to get to bed early enough to get the rest you need<br />
for the day.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Set up your alarm far enough away from your bed so you have to<br />
physically get up to shut it off.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Get your workout clothing ready before you go to bed and<br />
have it near your alarm.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Kick any nightly visitors out at a decent hour so you can rest.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Become obsessed with getting to bed on time, so you feel good<br />
when you wake up the next day.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Pat yourself on the back when you get up early and make it to<br />
the gym. You should be proud that you got to the gym, most people<br />
just don&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p>&#8211;  When you haven&#8217;t had a chance to eat and you are looking for<br />
something convenient to eat. Understand that in that moment you are<br />
weak.</p>
<p>To beat this you have to pay attention to how you eat:<br />
&#8211;  Make sure to plan your meals and stick to your planned schedule<br />
(You should be eating something light about every 3 hours.<br />
We have shakes and snacks we use and recommend for tight schedules.)</p>
<p>&#8211;  If you have missed a meal don&#8217;t allow your animal instincts to<br />
take over. Try your hardest not to fall into the trap of being<br />
irritable or grumpy. Just find healthy food to snack on.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Drink a large amount of water (16 ounces or more) to slow your<br />
hunger down.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Try to keep your carbohydrate intake to lower amounts. When your<br />
body uses up the sugars in your stomach it craves more. Take<br />
it easy on the low quality carbohydrates and focus on foods<br />
that will sustain you through the day.</p>
<p>A good book on this is here &#8211; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001L5T2F2?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwchildishen-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001L5T2F2</p>
<p>&#8211;  Snack on unsalted nuts higher in natural fats. (Almonds,<br />
Walnuts, Hazel Nuts, Macadamia nuts, etc&#8230; etc&#8230;) The fats<br />
will satiate you quickly and you won&#8217;t feel hungry.</p>
<p>&#8211;  When you think, &#8220;I can&#8217;t do that.&#8221; &#8211; Or-  &#8220;I don&#8217;t have time for that.&#8221;<br />
Understand you are in a weakened state.</p>
<p>To beat this &#8220;defeated attitude&#8221; first, recognize it:<br />
&#8211;  Every person has exactly 24 hours in the day. If someone else<br />
can make time you can too. It is that simple. Be strong and<br />
force the time by pushing other things away if you have to.<br />
(Make this more important than anything that gets in the way.)</p>
<p>&#8211;  Remember your circumstances are not an excuse. You have to<br />
make the time. You have to tell yourself you can do it.</p>
<p>&#8211;  When you think you can&#8217;t what you&#8217;re really saying is &#8220;it is<br />
not that important to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211;  When you feel overwhelmed.</p>
<p>To beat this you have to slow down and think about what is<br />
happening:</p>
<p>&#8211;  Feeling overwhelmed causes you to over eat or look for relief<br />
in food. (We have all heard the term &#8220;comfort food&#8221;.) Stay<br />
alert when you are thinking about overeating because of this.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Don&#8217;t allow yourself to become overwhelmed. Instead control<br />
the environment. Make people get in line to talk to you.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Take things one step at a time. Be patient and don&#8217;t try to<br />
do everything all at once.</p>
<p>Your state of mind is all that stands between you and your perfect<br />
body. Keep your mind as clear as possible and control what is reasonable<br />
to ensure you lose the weight you want.</p>
<p>&#8211; In the next lesson we will talk about how powerful fat loss is rather<br />
that weight loss. We will also give you some ways to fuel your fat<br />
loss efforts.</p>
<p>Have an awesome day,<br />
Erick</p>
<p>PS:<br />
To help you keep your mind clear and to stay alert we recommend a<br />
great product to help you focus.</p>
<p>We have a supplement called N-R-G that is raw Guarana tablets. Guarana<br />
is known for its ability to create a sense of alertness. The primary<br />
stimulant in it is Guaranine which helps the mind focus. It also has a<br />
tiny bit of naturally occurring caffeine in it.</p>
<p>Ideally this is meant to help you keep you head clear and think straight<br />
at times when you are feeling weak so be sure to add these into your<br />
regular supplement plan.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like it you can always contact us<br />
to return it and &#8220;Childish Energy&#8221; will eat the cost sending<br />
you an additional 10%. We are so confident you will be happy with<br />
N-R-G We Will Refund Your Cost 110%.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever started a diet or lifestyle change only to quit<br />
because you didn&#8217;t feel well doing it?</p>
<p>&#8211;  A Quick Note:</p>
<p>If you are in a rush and just need a product that will help<br />
create a &#8220;sense of well being&#8221; and just generally keep you<br />
feeling happy and positive all day long. We have a good<br />
product we recommend called Cell-Activator.</p>
<p>You can get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=593661&amp;cid=1155172486111</p>
<p>&#8211;  Information to help you avoid a failed weight<br />
loss plan because of feeling horrible.</p>
<p>To avoid a failed weight loss program of any kind, it is really<br />
important to understand what you will feel like when you change<br />
your diet and exercise habits.</p>
<p>You generally feel like crap because of a condition called retracement.</p>
<p>Retracement occurs when you replace a poor diet<br />
with better nutrition, and your body start shoveling the old out to make<br />
room for the new. Being aware of this concept will help you<br />
continue on your weight loss plan and lifestyle change.</p>
<p>We are going to help you know what to anticipate. This will<br />
better prepare you. Overcoming the obstacles that will<br />
get in your way, is a serious part of your weight loss program.</p>
<p>In short, weight loss happens very quickly when you rid your body<br />
of toxins. But to do that, you need to make changes&#8230; and the<br />
changes often result in not feeling as great as you would expect.<br />
Don&#8217;t worry, this is temporary.</p>
<p>When you act on the two previous lessons we have sent, you will no<br />
doubt be having some interesting experiences.</p>
<p>While your brain is saying YesYesYes I need to do this&#8230;</p>
<p>Your body may be saying NoNoNo I don&#8217;t want to do it&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what is happening on a mental, physical, and molecular level.</p>
<p>You have made a decision to lose weight. To find your childish<br />
energy. That simple act of making a choice will have you beaming.<br />
You know that you are making a change for the better and that in<br />
itself makes you feel good.</p>
<p>You will have to make a choice every time you are tempted to fall<br />
into old habits of physical inactivity or eating. Thankfully, these<br />
temptations are easy to overcome when you take them inch by inch.</p>
<p>Just choose your path. Either be comfortable in your old habits<br />
that have prevented you from feeling and looking the way you want<br />
to look, or trade the old habits for new ones and break out of your<br />
unproductive comfort mode.</p>
<p>Rather than stressing yourself out thinking about all the things you<br />
will have to do to make this happen, just take action. Do each task<br />
we recommend consistently and Sha-Zam&#8230;You feel better very<br />
quickly.</p>
<p>You might think that this is enough to keep you going, but there<br />
are some obstacles that you will be faced with. Yes the mind is<br />
powerful, but the body is going to put up a good fight.</p>
<p>It is very important to understand the changes your body will go<br />
through as you begin changing your habits. Once you have begun<br />
consuming enough water and eating better quality foods, your body<br />
will begin filtering out toxins, chemicals and pollutants from your<br />
body.</p>
<p>Before these toxins are removed from your system, they will be<br />
transported from your cells to your blood stream. Once they are in<br />
your blood stream they will again circulate through your body and<br />
your brain on the way to your kidneys and liver where they will be<br />
eliminated completely.</p>
<p>All this stirring up and dissolving of these unwanted chemicals<br />
will course through&#8230;. YOU. Your body is going through a<br />
detoxification. All the sludge and pollutants that your cells are<br />
comprised of will start moving through your system.</p>
<p>Why would we tell you about these negative side<br />
effects? If you can recognize the symptoms, you can determine<br />
that they are positive effects of your new lifestyle.</p>
<p>&#8211; You may get headaches.<br />
&#8211; You may be tired or feel weak in the gym.<br />
&#8211; Your skin may breakout.<br />
&#8211; You may be nervous or irritable.<br />
&#8211; You might use the bathroom frequently.</p>
<p>These negative effects will go away within a few days.<br />
But don&#8217;t get it in your head that these symptoms will happen to<br />
you, because many people don&#8217;t experience them at all. If you do<br />
have these experiences, they are temporary and will subside quickly.</p>
<p>When you know you are doing the right things for your body, you may<br />
expect immediate gratification. Not so. It takes time. Any adverse<br />
reaction should be expected and are positive signs that you and<br />
your body are doing the right things.</p>
<p>Now is the time to stay with it&#8230;&#8230; and drink lots of water. The<br />
water will help you to process and eliminate these toxins. You may<br />
ask yourself &#8220;If I&#8217;m doing all of these positive things for myself,<br />
then why do I feel  lousy?&#8221; That lousy feeling is your body healing<br />
itself.</p>
<p>Your body is smart. It knows what to do. It wants to heal itself.<br />
This is evident from cuts and scrapes, to colds and fevers, to<br />
bruises and swelling. You don&#8217;t mentally think to yourself &#8220;Ooh<br />
I&#8217;ve got a paper cut, let me generate some skin cells on my index<br />
finger and fix it.&#8221; No, your body is self curing by nature.</p>
<p>Your body will fix itself when given the right tools. If all you<br />
give it is junk, you will be made of just that&#8230;..JUNK. But when<br />
you give your body plenty of nutrients through quality foods, your<br />
body will &#8220;automagically&#8221; discard the inferior cells and rebuild<br />
them with the better ingredients that you have provided it.</p>
<p>Your body will give itself a house cleaning. This is retracement.<br />
It is a sure sign that you have made the right choice. Stay with<br />
it. Don&#8217;t suppress any unexpected feelings with medications, pain<br />
relievers, or worse, junk foods.</p>
<p>Deal with the symptoms. They will pass within a few days. And<br />
remember, all the while, you will be losing weight. This is why<br />
weight loss is so rapid in the beginning. Your body eliminates fats<br />
and toxins faster than it can rebuild new cells.</p>
<p>Now as your body begins to rebuild itself, it won&#8217;t be building<br />
fatty tissues for protective purposes. You will be built leaner,<br />
stronger, and healthier just like a kid. You will be made of fresh<br />
clean cells that burn calories to help them stay healthy and<br />
energized.</p>
<p>You are on your way. You will feel younger every day and your<br />
energy will begin to soar as you free yourself from the toxins that<br />
have been slowing you down.</p>
<p>Get excited because it keeps getting better and better from here.</p>
<p>Have An Awesome Day<br />
Erick</p>
<p>PS:<br />
The product we recommend to jump start and maintain<br />
detoxification is called &#8220;Cell Activator&#8221;.</p>
<p>It has some properties that really help you to feel<br />
Positive and in high spirits.</p>
<p>One Ingredient in this product is called pycnogenol.<br />
Pycnogenol&#8217;s beneficial effects on the body range<br />
from helping cardiovascular health, skincare,<br />
cognitive function, diabetes health, inflammation,<br />
sports nutrition, asthma/allergy relief and<br />
menstrual disorders, among others.</p>
<p>Additionally it makes you feel positive because it<br />
contains a substance called Inositol. Inositol is<br />
key to feeling normal. (People who are clinically<br />
depressed generally lack this in their system.)</p>
<p>Another reason to take it is because it has a powerful<br />
naturally forming detoxifier known as Chlorella in it.<br />
This helps you to cleanse your system even faster than<br />
water and other anti-oxidants alone.</p>
<p>There are many good reasons to take this but in the end<br />
It just makes you feel good, and for most that is<br />
good enough.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like it you can always contact us<br />
to return it and &#8220;Childish Energy&#8221; will eat the cost sending<br />
you an additional 10%. We are so confident you will be happy with<br />
&#8220;Cell Activator&#8221;<br />
We Will Refund Your Cost 110%.<br />
(Your Cost for the product + The cost of Shipping + 10% goes to you<br />
if you don&#8217;t like it.)</p>
<p>You can get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=593661&amp;cid=1155172486111</p>
<p>Also, we have had personal experiences with this product related to<br />
depression in people we know. This isn&#8217;t a cure for depression but<br />
there is anecdotal evidence from our own use that this helps to<br />
manage depression.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Create peak energy all day long by learning how to correctly use<br />
and benefit from caffeine&#8217;s weight loss and energy creating effects.</p>
<p>&#8211; A Quick Note:<br />
Before we describe why caffeine is so important to your weight loss program:<br />
We recommend using a product called &#8220;Total Control&#8221; when it isn&#8217;t<br />
convenient to drink tea or coffee.</p>
<p>Get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=921832&amp;cid=1155255199481</p>
<p>&#8211; Information to help you keep your energy levels at their peak all day.</p>
<p>Keep doing what you&#8217;re doing. Drink coffee in the morning<br />
and throughout the day. When it isn&#8217;t convenient to drink coffee or<br />
tea use a caffeine supplement.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, your morning cup of coffee is great for helping you<br />
lose weight and finding your childish energy. The antioxidants in<br />
coffee itself and the added energy boost of caffeine are just what<br />
you need to get your day off to a jump start.</p>
<p>And, continuing to regulate your intake of caffeine throughout your<br />
day will keep you energized, focused, and help your body burn calories<br />
and dissolve the toxins that prevent you from losing weight.</p>
<p>Your Schedule for taking caffeine should look like this:<br />
&#8211; 100mg (about a cup of coffee) first thing in the morning along<br />
side 8 ounces of water (before your workout).</p>
<p>&#8211; 100mg with breakfast (about an hour after your workout).</p>
<p>&#8211; 100mg with lunch.</p>
<p>&#8211; 100mg with a mid afternoon snack.</p>
<p>WARNING: Be sure to stop taking caffeine products about 6 hours before<br />
bed time. We DO NOT recommend caffeine with your dinner. Until you<br />
get into a pattern it will be hard to sleep if you take caffeine too<br />
late in the day.</p>
<p>&#8211; So Why Is Caffeine So Important To Reach Your Weight Loss Goals?</p>
<p>Caffeine stimulates your central nervous system, or more aptly, your<br />
brain. It is an ergogenic aid which means it has a positive effect<br />
on physical and mental performance.</p>
<p>Caffeine reduces the sensation of being tired by counteracting the<br />
effects of adenosine on your brain. Adenosine is created by stress,<br />
exertion, or burning calories. This is the stuff that makes your<br />
head feel foggy and your body feel tired.</p>
<p>Adenosine levels rise in your body throughout the course of your day<br />
and they tell your brain when it should be tired, even if it&#8217;s<br />
inconvenient for you. Through caffeine consumption you can postpone<br />
the effects of these chemicals that make you tired and you can maintain<br />
energy as well as focus.</p>
<p>Rather than slogging through your day, wouldn&#8217;t you prefer to have<br />
an awesome gym workout followed by a productive day at work<br />
and finish with tons of energy to spend with family and friends.<br />
When it&#8217;s time for bed, be assured that you&#8217;ll be ready for your<br />
well deserved rest and you&#8217;ll sleep as sound as a child does.</p>
<p>Your workouts will be better too. Science again reveals that this<br />
little chemical that makes you feel so alert and energized will affect<br />
your workouts. Using caffeine prior to your workout, whether it be in<br />
the morning or at lunch or after work, will crank up the productivity<br />
of your efforts.</p>
<p>Studies show that consuming caffeine pre-workout will enable your body<br />
to increase the endurance and intensity of your exercises. Increased<br />
intensity translates into more fat being burned, more muscles being<br />
built, and an overall boost to your metabolism. Your body will begin<br />
to elevate it&#8217;s metabolism to repair and maintain the muscle being<br />
produced from your more efficient workouts.</p>
<p>And, the good news doesn&#8217;t end there. Caffeine has another neat little<br />
trick up it&#8217;s sleeve. It is a diuretic. It helps your body to expel<br />
water. In a previous email you learned about drinking plenty of water<br />
and how it affects your weight loss efforts.</p>
<p>Remember that water helps your body eliminate the toxic chemicals that<br />
fat cells are trying to protect us against. Get rid of the toxins and<br />
the fat comes off more easily.</p>
<p>Now you have two forces at work. Your body will absorb the<br />
fresh water that you drink and caffeine will push out the contaminated<br />
water in your cells. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.</p>
<p>As you do this all day everyday, your body will start to get in sync<br />
and begin using these two vehicles (Caffeine and Water) to cleanse<br />
itself regularly. A clean body is a lean body, because your body<br />
doesn&#8217;t need store fat in order to jail toxins.</p>
<p>This use of caffeine and water is the beginning of many synergies we<br />
will help you create to turn your body into a fat burning machine.</p>
<p>So what other benefits come along with coffee or tea? A cup of coffee<br />
or tea is rich in antioxidants. While oxygen is vital in our lives,<br />
it also plays a role in decomposition. Iron + Oxygen = Rust. That<br />
should give you an idea of the corrosive effect that oxygen can have.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, your liver is more than capable of dealing with this<br />
natural process. However, the oxidation of your cells and the toxins<br />
in your body result in free radicals which can build up over a lifetime<br />
if your liver isn&#8217;t functioning at its full capacity.</p>
<p>No scare tactics intended here, just facts. An excess of free radicals<br />
causes aging, cancer, Parkinson&#8217;s disease and a host of other things<br />
that you don&#8217;t want. Antioxidants are available to you in the fruits<br />
and vegetables that you eat and the coffee that you drink.</p>
<p>A diet rich in antioxidants helps neutralize these free radicals and<br />
allows that amazing liver of ours to do the detoxifying and fat<br />
processing job that it is supposed to.</p>
<p>During yesterdays email it discussed the power of your liver and how<br />
it too helps you lose weight by removing toxins. Take a look at it again<br />
if you&#8217;re not understanding this connection.</p>
<p>&#8211; How Much Caffeine Do You Need And Where Do You Get It?</p>
<p>You can find caffeine everywhere. Coffee, tea, soda, chocolate, and<br />
energy drinks are all sources of caffeine.</p>
<p>But You Are Looking For Clean Sources Of Caffeine that don&#8217;t add<br />
any of the excess substances that you are trying to rid your body<br />
of in the first place. IE fat, sugars, and the myriad of chemicals<br />
and preservatives that are in almost everything we eat that comes<br />
in a wrapper.</p>
<p>A cup of coffee with soy milk is great. Black and green teas are a<br />
great source as well. We recommend a few products that a have a<br />
moderate dose of caffeine. &#8220;Herbal Concentrate&#8221;, &#8220;Total Control&#8221;, and<br />
Lift-off are products that you can take daily to help your body<br />
maintain a racing pace all day long.</p>
<p>Never over do it, because too much caffeine at once (At once is the key here)<br />
can make you feel nervous, anxious or jittery. It also creates unnecessary tension.</p>
<p>You Need To Know Your Body, and if you don&#8217;t, get to know it&#8230; start<br />
really thinking about how you feel so you can measure the effect that<br />
caffeine is having on you.</p>
<p>When you &#8220;slow dose&#8221; throughout the course of the day and consume<br />
between 100-200 milligrams (an average cup of coffee contains between<br />
80-240 mg) every 4-5 hours, you will cruise at 80 MPH all the time.<br />
You don&#8217;t race around. You just move a little faster than everyone<br />
else when they are at highway driving speeds.</p>
<p>Caffeine is the kick you need to get you going and keep you going.<br />
Caffeine in the morning gets you up and into the gym which builds<br />
your energy for the day. Now you have the endorphins from your workout<br />
coupled with wise caffeine consumption, and good watering habits,<br />
to propel you through your day.</p>
<p>Think again about the synergy we are helping you to create. These three<br />
items below are the first items we will share with you to increase your<br />
sense of well-being.</p>
<p>&#8211; Prevent fat from building because it is storing toxins. Move waste<br />
out of you body quickly by drinking water plenty of water throughout<br />
the day.</p>
<p>&#8211; Keep your energy levels high all day by using caffeine in small doses<br />
throughout your day.</p>
<p>&#8211; Create a sense of well-being and make your energy begin to soar by<br />
working out in the morning. Working out is one way to release<br />

<p>&#8211;  Information to help you lose weight fast.</p>
<p>Drinking enough water is critical to losing weight and keeping it<br />
off. It&#8217;s so simple that it often times becomes overlooked in it&#8217;s<br />
abilities to help you lose weight. This guide will take you through<br />
the reasons, the effects, and the benefits of increasing your daily<br />
intake of water.</p>
<p>Take the first step that will turn your body into a lean mean<br />
childish energy machine. I&#8217;m certain you drink water in some<br />
capacity whether it be from coffee, juice, or soda. Switch out<br />
those nutrient lacking sugary fillers and just focus on water<br />
when you are thirsty.</p>
<p>To begin losing weight quickly you must increase you body&#8217;s ability<br />
to eliminate toxins. Simply stated, a healthy flow of water through<br />
your body helps your kidneys keep toxins moving quickly out<br />
of your system.</p>
<p>In order for your kidneys to properly function, they<br />
need a vehicle with which to eliminate waste.</p>
<p>That vehicle is water.</p>
<p>So the first thing to understand and focus on is<br />
is how water affects biological functions to help you burn<br />
off the fat you hate.</p>
<p>When given the proper amount of water,<br />
your body will naturally begin to eliminate excess water, waste,<br />
toxins, and fat. You now become a well oiled machine.<br />
Compare it to changing the oil in your car. Clean oil moves through<br />
your engine much easier and more fluidly than old sludge laden oil.</p>
<p>The same goes for the body. Toxins and waste in your body<br />
are just like that sludge in an engine.</p>
<p>So how did your body get to the point where, no matter how hard<br />
you try, you simply can&#8217;t seem to lose weight?</p>
<p>Here is one way that happens:</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t provide your kidneys with enough water to filter out<br />
the waste in your system, they have a reliable ally to help with<br />
the waste removal process. That&#8217;s where your liver comes into play.</p>
<p>Your liver will begin to assist your kidneys in processing excess waste.<br />
However, this comes at a price. You are now relying on your liver to do two<br />
jobs. By helping the kidneys, your liver is now unable to work at<br />
its maximum capacity.</p>
<p>Your liver has two primary concerns. It aids in proper digestion and<br />
it metabolizes stored fat to use as energy for the body.</p>
<p>If your liver is helping your kidneys process waste, it cannot fully<br />
process the fat and the foods we eat.</p>
<p>That means that energy levels fall and fat stays in the body.</p>
<p>Double Whammy!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the &#8220;Fat Catch 22&#8243;. Fat has an important role in your body.<br />
It helps to process some fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and<br />
also provides energy when processed properly by the liver. However,<br />
fat is also an insulator. When toxic or chemical substances reach<br />
unsafe levels in your body, your body will store those unwanted<br />
chemicals in new fat cells.</p>
<p>Drinking enough water will alleviate the strain put on your liver,<br />
allow your kidneys to work properly, and flush out the chemicals<br />
that we involuntarily put into our body. These chemicals are<br />
absorbed into the body through digestion, absorption, and<br />
breathing.</p>
<p>Toxins that end up in your body come from a variety of sources<br />
that you may not suspect. Chocolate, salt, synthetic preservatives,<br />
alcohol, nicotine, cosmetics, lotions, and even the pollution in the air.</p>
<p>We are invaded by toxins daily and your body is amazing enough to<br />
defend against them. The least we can do is give our body what it<br />
needs to fight back.</p>
<p>Water will also help you get rid of that bloated feeling.<br />
Water retention is another misunderstood problem. It is a common<br />
misnomer that the more water you drink, the more water you will retain.</p>
<p>Not true. If you don&#8217;t drink enough water, your body will hold onto<br />
as much water as it can making you feel fat and bloated.</p>
<p>This is your body&#8217;s natural survival instincts at work. But, if you give<br />
your body the water that it needs, it begins to realize that more<br />
water will soon be arriving and it is unnecessary to hold onto the<br />
excess.</p>
<p>This is the equivalent of your body going into starvation mode.<br />
When you don&#8217;t feed your body enough, rather than processing the<br />
food you eat, your body converts the food to fat to be used at a later<br />
time. This slows your metabolic rate and your body doesn&#8217;t process<br />
the food, but instead stores it away in fat cells. Your body does<br />
the same thing with water.</p>
<p>You can experience more energy and force your metabolism to keep<br />
on moving, and looking for more sources of energy, when you get it to<br />
start attacking the fat. You force your body to start attacking fat<br />
when you consciously put better foods and more water into your body.</p>
<p>Here is what happens during weight loss:<br />
Your metabolism heats up and your body starts processing your<br />
food rather than storing it.</p>
<p>You immediately feel better because you know that you are<br />
helping your body fight the fat battle. You are enabling<br />
your body to do this by providing water and nutrient rich foods.</p>
<p>The stored fat is now being processed, and the water you provide<br />
is the highway that gets fat and toxins out of your body.<br />
In comes nature&#8217;s solvent (water) to flush out the fat and<br />
the waste that you don&#8217;t need.</p>
<p>So how much water should you drink?</p>
<p>64 ounces of water is recommended as a daily minimum. That&#8217;s eight<br />
glasses containing 8 ounces. If you are overweight, you should<br />
increase this amount by one glass for every 25 pounds of excess<br />
weight that you carry. If you are exercising regularly, you should<br />
drink be drinking up to a gallon a day.</p>
<p>If this seems impossible, think about this. Have you noticed how<br />
soda sizes at fast food restaurants have changed? I&#8217;m sure you<br />
have seen this. I&#8217;m 32 years old and I remember it well. A large<br />
soda used to be 16 ounces. Now, when you order a large soda<br />
you get a 32 or 44 ounce cup.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a quart. Or a quarter of a gallon. I have no problem<br />
knocking this back with my burger. We have been conditioned to<br />
consume more. Think &#8220;Super Big Gulp&#8221; at 7-11. If you can drink that<br />
before the ice melts, then you can drink a gallon of water in a day easily.</p>
<p>Try this water drinking plan.</p>
<p>Morning: One quart (32 oz) consumed over 30 minutes<br />
Noon: One quart consumed over 30 minutes<br />
Evening: One quart consumed between 5-8pm</p>
<p>That&#8217;s 3 quarters of a gallon. Now you add water to each of your<br />
meals, rather than sodas or tea or whatever, and that further<br />
increases your intake. If you eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day and<br />
drink 8 ounces with each of these, you have added another 48 ounces<br />
to your health.</p>
<p>And all that water has another benefit. It makes you feel full and<br />
you eat less. Water has a satiating effect. You feel satisfied and<br />
fuller before you over eat. It actually makes dieting easier and<br />
more effective.</p>
<p>Try it for a week and see for yourself. Your body will begin to<br />
process fat efficiently. You will shed retained water and get rid<br />
of the bloated feeling that shows up as excess weight. This is<br />
called the &#8220;breakthrough point&#8221;. The point when your kidneys and<br />
liver start functioning efficiently and you find yourself losing<br />
weight and having noticeably more energy.</p>
<p>Drink up and experience that breakthrough. I guarantee that you&#8217;ll<br />
be happy you did. I know this will help you to find your childish energy.</p>
<p>&#8211; In the next lesson we will talk about what you need to do to keep<br />
your energy levels at their peak all day long.</p>
<p>Have an awesome day,<br />
Erick</p>
<p>PS:<br />
You will find that really starting to &#8220;feel&#8221; the difference that<br />
having enough water in your system will take about a week to two<br />
weeks depending on how closely you follow good water drinking<br />
patterns.</p>
<p>If you want to get a &#8220;jump start&#8221; on feeling more energy quickly<br />
we have a recommendation.</p>
<p>To create some really explosive energy anytime you need it, we<br />
recommend you try a product called Lift-Off.</p>
<p>You can get it here &#8211; http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=jfgrissom&amp;pid=140552&amp;cid=792842</p>
<p>It comes in a fun tablet that bubbles when you put it in your water.<br />
But it isn&#8217;t all fun and games, we have to warn you&#8230;<br />
THIS STUFF WILL MAKE YOU FEEL EAGER AND ALIVE,<br />
making it almost Impossible To Stay Unfocused Or Be Lazy.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take this if you want to rest or lay around the house&#8230;<br />
If you do you will find yourself in the gym before you know what<br />
happened!</p>
<p>&#8211; Here is how it works.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t an energy drink like many of the store bought products<br />
you see. IT IS TRULY DIFFERENT. Many people choose to enhance their<br />
energy with drinks like Red Bull, Rock Star, or Monster. If you<br />
drink these kinds of drinks and realize THEY DON&#8217;T REALLY WORK to<br />
give you lasting energy, you are very likely to feel amazing<br />
when you take Lift-Off.</p>
<p>&#8211; Here is the cost</p>
<p>Where I live drinks like Monster, Rock Star, and Red Bull cost any<br />
where from $2.00 to $3.50. So drinking Lift-Off actually saves me<br />
money because it costs about $1.59 per dose. It also ends up being<br />
more convenient because it comes in a package you can carry with<br />
you in your pocket if needed.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like it you can always contact us to return it and<br />
&#8220;Childish Energy&#8221; will eat the cost sending you an additional 10%.<br />
We are so confident you will be happy with Lift-Off We Will Refund<br />
Your Cost 110%.<br />
(Your Cost for the product + The cost of Shipping + 10% goes to you<br />
if you don&#8217;t like it.)</p>
<p>You can buy it in 10 packs or 30 packs.</p>
<p>Think about it this way. If You Could Increase your Energy by 100%<br />
Right Now Would It Be Worth $1.59?</p>
<p>&#8211; Use this to &#8220;Kick Start&#8221; Your Workouts Until You Are In Steady Workout Routine.</p>
<p>Some have said they feel like a race car revving at the opening<br />
of the indy 500 after they take this stuff. Others say they feel<br />
more alive than they have felt in years.</p>
<p>Feel amazing anytime you want, for less than products like<br />
Rock Star, Monster, Or Red Bull.</p>
