You've been deceived into thinking that saturated fats are bad for you, but let's look at some facts below...
I’ll preface this article by saying that it will help if you have an open mind and accept that some of these facts are a slap in the face to politically correct nutrition in this day and age where fats are admonished by many doctors, health "experts", and the mass media.
To start, eating an adequate supply of healthy dietary fats is vitally important to your overall health. Fats are one of the main components in all of the cell membranes throughout your entire body. If you eat enough healthy natural fats, your cellular processes will proceed normally.

Find Out If You Too Are At Risk For A Heart Attack
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
Want to know what your real odds are of having a heart attack?
How about a stroke? Diabetes?
Okay, this isn't sounding like a positive letter... but hang in there. It gets a lot better and more positive.
I was having lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry's upcoming book is a must-read. I will let you know when she's ready to release it. Since Sherry has been here visiting me in Dallas I have learned SO much about natural food preparation and what really causes disease.
Our conversation took a turn to "doctor's tests." I think most of them are worthless. Some are vital. It's important to know the difference. I'm going to give you the three tests you absolutely must take if you want to help ensure your future health in a moment.

Vegetarian Bodybuilding Diet

“Vegetarian bodybuilding diet”?! Are you CRAZY?!
You can’t build muscle without meat! (Can you?)
Well not many people know that I was a lacto-vegetarian bodybuilder for 8 years before I bit into a Big Mac during one of my wife’s pregnancy cravings and was brought to the “Dark Side”.
But while I’m still a carnivore today, I have a friend who is a full-on vegan vegetarian bodybuilding fanatic…
…and stacked with muscle!

How an Entire Year Could Go By With No Results
By Tom Venuto
QUESTION: Dear Tom: I’ve been going to the gym for the past year now, but I have only lost 2 pounds. I eat about 1800 calories a day and I do 3 cardio and 3 weight training sessions a week. I am 5 feet 5 inches and 128 lbs. I would like to be at 120 lbs.
To lose 8 more lbs isn’t a lot to ask, but I’m really frustrated. I’ve been VERY persistent, and I rarely cheat except once each weekend, but at this rate, it will take me another 4 years for me to reach my goal! Please help!

Your Cardio Workouts may not be helping you unless you incorporate a high range of heart rate shifts in your training.
Are you a cardio junkie? Everyone seems to think that "cardio" is the best way to get in shape and lose body fat. I'm going to show you with this article why I disagree!
