As you should be seeing by now, there are many different ways for you to improve your health and fat loss.

I bet 23 days ago you wouldn’t of thought that sleep, sunshine, fresh air, non toxic dishes and cleaning supplies all contributed to you health or lack thereof.

So today I want to share with you why a calorie may not always be a calorie and how you can get more out of the meals you are eating.

Let’s start by imagining 2 different people…
One person has excellent digestion, I mean they can turn a rock into peanut butter if need be. The other suffers from indigestion, constipation and it’s counterpart diarrhea.

Now, imagine that both of these people eat the same meal, even a healthy meal like a chicken salad. Are they each getting the same macro and micronutrients from the foods they eat?

Potentially they are… However, since our second person suffers from digestive issues we need to assume that they aren’t able to squeeze as much nutrition out of their meals as their perfect digesting counterpart.

Why is this an issue? Bare with me for a sec while I explain…

Most dieticians consider that a calorie is just a calorie (a unit of energy), and due to the law of thermodynamics, energy can never be created or destroyed so therefore if you eat 500 calories and I eat 500 calories, then we would both be absorbing these 500 calories.

Here’s the problem…

Using the law of thermodynamics as a reference is illogical as the law also states the words, “in a closed chain system” energy cannot be created or destroyed. Last time I checked, my body wasn’t closed chain system.

What I mean is that for a calorie to be the same for everyone we would have to be a closed chain system (i.e. no poop, no pee, no sweat etc.).

So considering that everyone’s digestive tract and bowel movements are different, you may be absorbing less or more of the calories you eat then the person next to you and furthermore, you may be absorbing the wrong macronutrients and/or the wrong vitamins for your body!!

This is an issue because researchers are now concluding that eating high mineral and vitamin foods reduce your appetite while eating foods devoid of nutrients tends to promote appetite!!!

So, instead of scaring you any further about the dangers of having a bad digestive system, here are 5 rules you can follow to help out your digestive tract and put you on the right track!

Rule #1

Don’t drink water right after a meal. Drink water after a meal can dilute the digestive juices and reduce your chances of getting the maximum amount of appetite suppressing vitamins and minerals from your diet. Instead give your body 60 or more minutes to digest the food you ate before consuming liquid.

Rule #2

Consider drinking hot teas as your first beverage after a meal. After you let your body digest for 60 or more minutes, consider drinking hot teas rather than room temperature or even worse off cold water as cold temperatures tend to solidify fat particles rendering them harder to digest

Rule #3

Take a probiotic with breakfast every day. A probiotic supplement is one of the few supplements I still take on a regular basis.

Rule #4

Eat glycine and collagen rich foods. Glycine and collagen rich foods can help to repair organ tissue and muscular tissue much faster then almost any other food. Enjoying glycine and collagen rich homemade chicken and beef broths can help repair sensitive digestive tracts. Google the words bone broths to see many different recipes

Rule #5

Consume fermented vegetables. Eating fermented veggies like pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi can just as effective as taking a probiotic supplement. Consume these fermented veggies as a part of your salad or with your steamed veggies.

Well, there you have it, 5 tips on how you can improve your digestion which will help you get more bang for your buck from the foods you eat.

2 Questions, 2 Myths, and the Rule of 2

Hey guys, Cody here with kettlebellxtraining.com. And I want to answer a few questions that people been asking a lot over the last few days. It is an important subject to touch on because it can affect how much fat you can burn, and how fast you can achieve your results.

So the Big Questions I get….

Should You lift Heavier Kettlebells or Lighter Kettlebells?
and
Should You be doing More or Less Reps?

Now in the Kettlebell X Training Body Transformation System, we have an awesome spreadsheet that helps you count your reps and encourage you try to add more reps in the intervals of time and then once the goal is achieved you then can move up to the more advanced drill or exercise.

This approach is the simplest and safest way to achieve maximum results without getting injured, fatigued or getting board of the workout. So in short follow the system, each time you work out increase the reps until you hit the goals and then move on.

But that does not entirely answer the question. If you have more than one kettlebell at home my philosophy would be to maximize your reps and maximize the weight of the kettlebell during your interval or set of drills. And to safely do that you need to follow the RULE OF 2. The Rule of 2 says that NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, ALLWAYS KEEP 2 REPS IN THE BANK. So what do that mean to you?

If presses are something that’s challenging for you, you might start with a lighter kettlebell and try doing presses for 30 seconds or any timed interval. Now at the end of the Set you should feel that you only have 2 reps left before you start to Fatigue/the drill gets hard. You want to keep those 2 reps in the bank, meaning don’t push through them, because you want to 1. Avoid injury, and 2. Have enough energy to continue the workout and try for a more challenging weight/drill the second round. If during that interval at the end you feel as if you could have done more than 2 reps at the end, then it is time to move up to the next weight. Yes it will be harder at first, and yes if you keep your 2 in the bank you may not even finish the full timed interval with the heavier bell. But as your practice this, your reps will increase, and eventually you will be back in the same spot when suddenly when the interval ends you have more than “2 in the Bank” and you will get to move up in weight again.

So in short picking a weight that allows you to complete the interval just barely with 2 reps left over is the ideal goal.

Finally 2 Myths to end right here and now!

1. Ladies, you CAN NOT get big using kettlebells. You do not produce Testosterone, you can not get bulk even if you lift heavy kettlebells because the drills are specifically designed drills for the KXT Body Transformation system to target your muscles to become LEAN and TONED. Giving you that sexy slim tight body.
2. The idea that More Reps = More Fat Loss is a LIE! The fastest way to burn fat fast is to Maximize the load for a drill while following the rule of 2. Doing 100 reps with a tiny weight will only make you spend more time working out, 20 reps with the perfect sized bell (usually 2 sizes bigger than you expect) will not only increase your lean strength (sexy arms, sexy legs, sexy back and booty!) but it will increase your FAT BURN as well. Think of it this way, would you get a better workout walking 6 miles, or sprinting 0.6 miles?? We only walk the 6 because sprinting seems to hard, but that sprint will help you burn more fat, gain more strength, and give you the sexy body you want.

So it is about that time of year when you step on to that scale to assess the damage of 2012. Well I have some good tips on weighing and measuring yourself.

Check out my short Video explaining (in my opinion) how worthless the scale can be and what you should use instead!

See Video Below

In Fact I believe that weighing yourself on the daily, weekly, and even monthly can affect how you think, eat, and act not in a positive way but in a negative way.

Plus the scale is a LAIR! And it does not speak the whole truth, in fact if you followed any of the KXT systems this year, you are most likely, thinner, stronger, leaner, and have more lean muscle tone than ever before, and guess what muscle weighs more that FAT.

If I gave you the option, to be your ideal weight but look ok, or weigh 200 pounds and look like a super model, which would you take? I hope you would take the super model because what the scale says does not matter, it only matters how you look and feel to yourself!
