[ Note: I know that you will find the following information very useful in your quest for a healthier body. This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you today.]

Caution:

This sounds like a silly question, but it’s really the most important question you can ask:

“What REALLY makes me increase my bodyfat?”

Is it too many calories? Sure. That’s one part. But I know people who can eat 4-5K calories a day and not add an ounce.

Is it dietary fat? Rarely if ever.

Fat is necessary to melt bodyfat. It is true that fat has more calories per gram than protein or carbs, but let’s look at this logically:

40% protein; 40% carbs; 20% fat = 40% fat; 40% protein; 20% carbs

So… no. Increasing your dietary fat does not mean you’ll get fatter…

UNLESS… ready?

Your insulin levels are too high.

Elevated insulin is not only the prime cause of diabetes and a sign of being hypoglycemic, but it’s also the prime numero uno reason people get fat.

And insulin is stimulated most by too many carbohydrates… even the so-called “healthy carbs!”

HOWEVER… ready again?

You can still eat carbs… you do not need a “low-carb” dietplan every day in order to keep your insulin and bodyfat low.

You just have to know what TIME to eat the carbs.

There’s a time and place for everything and carbs are no exception.

I have a presentation here that tells you more about how important timing is and how you can eat your carbs (even sweets) and shed bodyfat…

That being said:

If I had to cut one thing out of my diet for 1-4 days it would definitely be carbs.

I need fat… fat helps melt bodyfat… and I have trained my body to use its own fat-stores for fuel.

( See how on the linked-page above )

I DEFINITELY need protein… and so do you.

Protein speeds up thermogenesis, or your body’s own fat-burning heat factory.

Protein also blunts your appetite so you naturally eat less.

Some carbs are healthy… and I do not recommend you cut out low-sugar fruits and green veggies… you need that stuff.

But you don’t need grains, breads, etc.

At least for a few days.

THEN… you need them… but only after you do two things.

Remember: Don’t Quit. Get Fit!

P.S. My favorite “Feed Meal” (that’s what I call meals where I eat a lot of calories and carbs) is this:

Small serving of protein (1/2 my normal serving size) like chicken, tuna, etc.

Brown rice or baked potato

Slice of pecan pie (or Key Lime pie… yum.)

Then later that day I’ll have a few slices of New York-style pizza.

The next day I’m LEANER. It never fails.

The only time this can fail is if you do not set your body UP to receive these carbs and some junk food.

I call this my “Real World Favorite Foods Dietplan.” That’s not the name of my System but it could be! That’s exactly what it is.

I love it… so will you…

The ProForm 790E Elliptical Trainer will give your body an amazing workout with its 25 degree power incline and also 20 resistance levels.

Being able to use your elliptical at a higher incline than a flat surface will not just help you burn more calories during your workout but you will also be able to work your butt and upper thighs more effectively.  If you are a new elliptical user or have not worked out for a while keep the elliptical on the flat level and then as you start to become more fit, increase the incline level.  Start with short bursts as you will find yourself getting winded quickly and your muscles will feel it faster.  

Then slowly as the weeks go by increase your incline degree and also the time that you spend at the higher incline. This will allow your body to get use to working harder and working at the higher incline longer.  By increasing your incline level and the time spent at the higher incline level you will see quicker results.

Although the power incline ramp is a great feature, it’s not the only notable feature on this ProForm 790E elliptical.
The ProForm 790E elliptical trainer also has 20 levels of intensity. Just like  the incline ramp you can start off with no intensity, then as you increase your fitness level you can begin to turn up the intensity for a more effective workout.  With 20 different levels you’ll be able to continually increase your endurance and muscle fitness.

Built right into the 790E is 18 performance workouts and 6 weight loss workouts that will automatically increase and decrease your intensity level.  Even if you plan on using your elliptical daily you’ll find that the selection of workouts will keep you motivated for months and months to come.

You should also know that this elliptical is fitted with iFit workout technology which allows you to add to your workout collection by just purchasing a new workout card. Each card has 8 weeks of workouts that automatically adjust your elliptical while you receive audible motivation from a persona l trainer.  The iFit cards are inexpensive and are available pretty much where ever fitness equipment is sold.

The ProForm 790E also has a dual grip heart rate monitor built right into the handle grips so that you can make sure that you are working out in your personal targeted heart rate zone.

Additional features that you’ll appreciate are:

• Oversized pedals
• Music port for your iPod or MP3 Player
• Upper body workout arms for full body workout
• Nicely lit Console Display
• Workout fan for cooling comfort
• Silent Magnetic resistance with 20 levels of intensity
• Lifetime Frame Warranty and 1-Year Parts & Labor
