CUTTING EDGE

ARE YOU
sticking to your New
Year's resolutions? If
not, we have some
great tips to help you
get back on track,
especially if you're
wanting to lose weight.
Check out Dana
Robinson's article on
how to make your
weight loss plans stick
(pgs. 24-25) and then
hip to Nax Nuscle
CEO Joe Wells' helpful
column on page 12.
Speaking of Joe and losing weight, his column inspired me
because he admitted he'd gained weight over the holidays. I
revealed in my last column that !'ve gained some extra weight
lately, too, though I didn't mention how much. When I look
at the brave souls on NyNaxNuscle.com who have entered
the NaxForm Life Challenge and how they have to post their
before photos, weight, body fat percentage and measurements
for the world to see, I'm humbled by their courage and their
willingness to bare it all even if it hurts their pride. So, because
of their strength, I will admit that I reached the heaviest weight
I've ever been (157 pounds). I'm tired of being embarrassed to
see people ! haven't seen in awhile because !'m a little extra
"huffy." !'m tired of not htting into my clothes. !'m tired of
being tired. So, it's time for a change!
Another person who is inspiring me right now is Frank
Fontanilla. You may not know who that is, but he is the one
who creates the fabulous Nax Nuscle ads you see in this
magazine. He recently started a 60-day challenge to get back
into great shape. He posts updates and photos on Facebook
and tags 40-50 people just to be accountable to do what he
said he was going to do. As a result, some of my friends and
I just started our own 60-day challenge. We have agreed that
the "loser" at each week's weigh in has to put $25 in the pot.
We also agreed to give up something for 60 days. For me,
it's wine and fast food. Fast food ! can live without, but those
who know me, know that ! LOvE my wine. !f ! even taste wine
during the challenge, I have to put $25 in the pot.
I'm telling you all this because I want you to know that all
of us struggle with things in our lives. We all pack on pounds
at various points in our hectic lives. It doesn't mean we are
failures, it just means we are human. The key is to pick
ourselves back up and get back into the htness saddle. Life's
too short to be miserable because you can't ht in your clothes
or you're tired all the time.
This entire issue is packed with invaluable information that
will help you achieve your weight loss goals. Read it cover to
cover and let us know what articles helped you or inspired you.
Our goal is always to educate and motivate you to live the best
life possible.

I kept telling myself, one day I'll get
in better shape. The problem was that day never
came. All I found myself doing was making excuses and justify-
ing how I had gained so much weight. The last straw finally came
at the end of 2012 when I had gotten so disgusted with my
appearance and so unhappy for letting myself get to this point
that I nearly had a breakdown. It was enough to get me to make
a change and shortly after that I found Max Muscle Sports
Nutrition. They were like no other nutrition store that I had been
to before. The Certified Fitness Nutrition Coach at the store
gave me a nutrition consultation and showed me what I had
been doing wrong and what I needed to do to achieve my fitness
goals. Today I am in the best shape of my life. Im healthier
and happier than Ive ever been and I couldnt have done it
without the help of Max Muscle Sports Nutrition and their
awesome supplements.

MAX MUSCLE Sports
Nutrition is about to launch
the most exciting product
that we have ever created.
In the 20+ years that we
have been developing sports
nutrition supplements, I do
not remember a time that
we were ever more thrilled
at the prospect of what a
supplement can do. We know
that this supplement is going
to be extremely effective at
building muscle, increasing
strength and reducing body fat all at the same time. Thats because there
are two double-blind studies conducted at top U.S. universities to prove it.
When Dr. Phil Harvey, our Chief Science Ofhcer and head of product
development, returned from a scientihc conference last year and told
us about this new ingredient and what the research revealed, we were
amazed that a natural ingredient could produce these kinds of results.
The name of the product that we believe is about to revolutionize the
muscle building industry is CreaTOR and it will outperform Creatine,
Beta Alanine and every other signihcant muscle building supplement
introduced in the sports nutrition industry in the past two decades!
CreaTOR is a truly revolutionary and innovative new product that
contains the key patented ingredient proven to signihcantly increase
muscle protein synthesis, muscle size, strength and power while at
the same time decrease body fat. CreaTOR is driven by Mediator
Phosphatidic Acid, one of the most powerful molecular activators of

mTOR signaling. Scientists have validated the patented ingredient
Mediator
Phosphatidic Acid to be more powerful than creatine and

beta alanine in activating mTOR. A recent double-blind research study
using Mediator
Phosphatidic Acid with resistance training produced the

following dramatic results:
Subjects gained 5.3 lbs. of lean muscle mass!*
Subjects lost 2.9 lbs. of fat mass!*
Subjects gained 47 percent in bench press strength!*
The CreaTOR formula developed by the Research and Development
Team at Max Muscle Sports Nutrition has combined Mediator
PA with
other key synergistic ingredients to deliver the most powerful mTOR
Signaling Activator ever developed. CreaTOR is the ONLY formula that
combines these key ingredients in the correct, efhcacious amounts.
CreaTOR will be arriving this spring and will be available exclusively
at Max Muscle Sports Nutrition stores across America. For a limited
time, with the purchase of CreaTOR, you will get the e-version of the
CreaTOR Training System, which includes the exact training protocol
from the study.
CreaTOR is going to have many imitators because it is going to
revolutionize the muscle building industry. Be the hrst to try the most
innovative and scientihcally validated muscle building supplement in the
world!

I have four beautiful daughters and we have
been through a lot together over the past
seven years. My youngest daughter had a 15% chance
of survival. After several life saving surgeries, she has beaten
the odds. Those years of never leaving my daughters side
though, took a toll on me physically and during that time I
ballooned up to a very unhealthy and obese weight of 185 lbs!
I was told by my doctor that my bone density was equivalent
to a woman in her 60's! I was only 38 years old and knew
right then that I needed to focus on my health or I
would not be around to raise my girls. Today with the
help of Max Muscle Sports Nutrition, I am a very
healthy and fit forty year old who at 115 pounds
is in the best shape of my life. I never would
have believed it would have been possible
but with my Certified Fitness Nutrition
Coach and MMSNs awesome supple-
ments I look and feel like a completely
different person and I love the new me!

to athlete @malaka55 (Joe Castro). I'm
really proud of this guy. He's been one
of our inspiring transformations to date.
When I teach workshops, I educate how the mind controls our everyday triggers. Triggers that keep us
eating within this invisible wall where we cant escape and we continue this vicious cycle until our bodies
can no longer handle it. In Joes case he was heading fast forward into that morbid direction when he
was admitted to the hospital. I educated him about creating new afrmations. I taught him to create new
triggers to set his mind to tness and healthier food choices. It took a lot of practice and saying 'no' to Pop
Tarts. But with practice and consistency, he conditioned his mind to create new habits, and look at him
nowit possibly saved his life. He just needed direction and guidance, thats all. Proud of you Joe! Time
for you to educate others!

AGE DOESN'T
MATTER WHEN
YOU WANT TO
CHANGE YOUR
BODY & LIFE
My introduction to Clackamas Max Muscle came on
Black Friday 2012. My friend Yvonne wanted to check
out the specials. I met store manager Mary Davis. She
explained how Max Muscle could help my workouts to
be more efcient. I had a frustrating three months of
counting calories and working hard at the gym and not
seeing the results I was after. I actually didn't have a
specic goal at that time, I just wanted to look better.
I had been using the excuse of just turning 53 so
it probably would be harder for me to lose weight and
tone. I gured why not try something different? My
way didn't seem to be working that great.
A few weeks later I went to another Max Muscle
store that was having a meet and greet with some
bodybuilders and tness models. I met IFBB Pro
Victoria Adelus. I told her I wished that I had thought
about being t like her when I was younger. On my
way home I thought 'why can't I see what is the best
53-year-old body I can create?' So my goal right then
was 18 percent body fat. The weight really became
insignicant.
I started my lifestyle change feeling a bit
intimidated. I wanted to be efcient with my workouts,
eating and resting. With Mary's guidance I fell into
a great routine in a couple of weeks. My beginning
weight was 143 pounds with 33 percent body fat
(using a handheld device). I didn't start pinching for
body fat until February.
As of today with the help of Max Muscle products,
effective eating and working out, I am 124 pounds
and 19 percent body fat. My annual blood work came
back with a cholesterol of 146 (a year ago, it was
186). My blood pressure is down. My golf game
improved. (11.9 handicap and am now hitting the ball
at least 20 yards further).
Jimmy Lam, the new owner of the Clackamas store
is a pleasure to visit. He is genuinely excited about
Max Muscle products, proudly showing his before and
after photos. He is always happy to hear how you
do or don't like a product and how your progress is
coming along. He just got an Inbody analysis machine
that gives you a printout of your body composition
another great way to help keep someone accountable
to their goal and to see progress.
I used age as the reason it would be hard to get t,
but I now know it is just an excuse. It can be done and
it is fun to hear from other people, "You have guns!" I
have a great 53-year-old body and I am keeping it that
way thanks to Max Muscle products, supportive owners
and employees. I love the way I feel every day.
Thank you again Max Muscle and the Clackamas
team!!

EMERGE
HELPED ME WIN
MY FIRST FIGURE
COMPETITION!
In March 2013 I decided to train for and
try a gure competition. I have always
worked out but decided to step out of my
box and onto a stage. I weight trained 6
days a week for 12 weeks. I did various
cardio and of course I ate a very clean
diet.
My go to supplement was Emerge.
Emerge gave me energy, helped burn fat
and gave me the focus I needed to get my
workouts done. There were days I could
not have done it without Emerge.
I am so happy that not only did I do
well but I won my age group and placed
second in the open category. Not bad for
my rst time. Emerge is a great product
whether you are competing or not.

The holiday season is dehnitely
over! Wow, a few months of eating
and celebrating with our friends and
loved ones and now it's now time
to assess the damage! ! personally
gained about 15 pounds. ! also
have hve teenagers in my house,
so my stress level is high around
the holidays. Between my lousy
diet, weight gain and stress...! felt
exhausted and ready to get back on
track with my normal routine.
This is why everybody pretty
much has the same New Year's
resolution. Think about it, most of
your friends and family are chanting
the famous resolution mantra: Get
back in the gym and lose weight."
So why should ! be any different?
! started a few days ago and !
already feel a thousand percent
better! !'m getting up early and
!'m hitting the gym. ! like to do 30
minutes of cardio before ! work
out and then 30 minutes of intense
lifting. ! try to do this hve days
a week. ! use the bike, treadmill
or elliptical for my cardio. Then !
rotate my body parts on a push-pull
system.
To do this you simply train one or
two push muscles one day and then
FOREVERYOUNG
one or two pull muscles on the next
workout. (Your push muscles are chest,
shoulders and triceps, and your pull
muscles are back and biceps. Then on
one of your hve workout days, make
sure you train your legs hard.
This a pretty basic and simple
workout that many people use. !t
breaks down targeted muscle hber
and gives you plenty of time to
recover as well.
Lastly, !'m going to share with you
one of my favorite morning shakes. !t's
very healthy, very tasty and packed with
protein. !t contains 30g of protein and
has approximately 275-300 calories.
Super Green Shake
8 oz water
+ oz apple juice or fruit juice. Also
soy milk or low-fat milk may be used.
a banana
cup frozen strawberries
2 cups or 2 big handfuls of fresh
spinach
to 1 serving of Nax Nuscle
Essential Omega (use any havor but
! prefer Nango Swirl)
1 scoop of banana or strawberry
NaxPro protein (you can add more or
less protein by simply using less than
a scoop or more)
Add all your liquids into your blender.
Pack in the spinach and frozen berries
and blend for approximately 15
seconds. Add the remaining ingredients
and blend for a minute or so. !f you're
lucky enough to have a vitaNix or
similar blender, you can simply throw it
all in and blend for 20 to 30 seconds.
This is a very tasty shake that is
packed with protein, essential fats,
vitamins and energy. The spinach will
give you a great intestinal cleansing
boost with all of its hber.
We are already into the second
month of 201+ and we need to stick
to our resolutions. Before you know
it, spring will be here! Stop by your
local Nax Nuscle store for advice or
a nutritional consultation. Good Luck!

Getting Back
in Shape After
the Holidays
I've dealt with weight problems

for most of my adult life. Despite what I tried, I could never find
a lasting solution. Max Muscle Sports Nutrition and my
Certified Fitness Nutrition Coach provided that solution by
supplying me with the highest quality supplements to
achieve my goals as well as teaching me what I had been
doing wrong all of those years. I learned why I had yo-yo
dieted and was explained the reasons I always ended
up gaining more weight after every diet I tried. I've
lost nearly 90 pounds from the time I had reached
my heaviest body weight and I am thrilled to be
a leaner, healthier mother of 3 kids at the age
of 41! I have more energy to keep up with
all the demands of my busy day and I've
never felt better. Most importantly I've
been taught how to make this a lasting
life change.

Planning is Important When It
Comes To Eating Healthy
When it comes to eating the 5 to 13 servings of fruit and veggies recommended each day for optimal
health, planning goes a long way in achieving this goal. Researchers at the Lisbon University Institute
recently looked at the impact of potential obstacles to healthy eating, such as holidays or traveling, and
how people worked around those obstacles. They also determined whether people were recording their
dietary choices and trying to attain their healthy eating goals.
In the study, 203 participants ages 18 to 50 years completed a questionnaire, which had questions
about their understanding of the health benets of consuming the recommended amount of fruits and
veggies, and how they might achieve this goal. They were also asked how they would overcome barriers
to achieving it. Then they were asked to record their actual consumption of fruits and veggies on a
typical day in the past week.
What the researchers found? All of those participants who understood the health benets of eating
fruits and vegetables
intended to do so. But those
who actually made plans
for increasing consumption,
such as taking fruit to work
or making out menus in
advance, and those who
had strategies in place to
deal with situations that can
undermine a healthy eating
plan, were more likely to
make intentions a reality.
Keeping track of daily
dietary choices and making
changes when things went
awry helped, too.

REGULATING
ANTIBIOTIC SOAPS
When you reach for a soap

purchase, do you automatically go
for the antibacterial one? Health
experts have been saying for
some time now that for household
use, regular soap and water are
just as effective and far less
likely to cause bacterial resistance
to antibiotics.
But now, the Food & Drug
Administration is getting involved,
regulating that manufacturers of
antibacterial hand soaps must
demonstrate that their products
are more effective than plain soap
and water if they want to keep
them on the market.
Driving the new regulation is
not only concern for widespread
antibiotic resistance, but safety.
Antibacterial soaps commonly
contain an ingredient called
triclosan, which research has
shown causes hormone disruption
in rats. What this means for
humans is yet to be determined.
But for now, it may be best to use
plain soap and water or sanitizers
or wipes that rely on alcohol rather
than antibiotics to kill bacteria.
Anxiety & Stroke Risk
There may be a new reason to hone up on your relaxation techniques, say

researchers from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh
School of Medicine. In a recent study, they linked chronic anxiety and stroke
independent of other risk factors for stroke, like depression.
While the researchers arent sure exactly the mechanism of the link between
anxiety and stroke, they speculate that it may have to do with elevated stress
hormones, heart rate or blood pressure. They also acknowledge that those with
high anxiety levels are more likely to smoke and to be less active, which also ups
the risk. Yoga, anyone?

HEART
HEALTH
This year, approximately
600,000 men and women will
die from heart disease. Here is
the latest research on keeping
your ticker in tip-top shape.
February is American Heart Month. And if, like most
people, you seldom give thought to your ticker maybe its
time to start. According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death
for both men and women in the United States, accounting
for about 600,000 deaths or one in every three deaths
in this country each year.
The term heart disease encompasses a variety of heart
conditions, but the most common is coronary heart disease,
also called coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD develops
when a waxy cholesterol plaque builds up in your coronary
arteries, the major blood vessels to your heart.
For many years, the theory of how plaques develop and
cause problems within the arterial walls revolved around
high blood cholesterol levels caused primarily by intake
of saturated fats and high cholesterol foods, said Stephen
Sinatra, ND, board certihed cardiologist and co-author of
The Great Cholesterol Myth. This whole theory of how
heart disease develops came out during the cold war when
Eisenhower had a heart attack. Heart disease was on the
rise then, and Eisenhower loved his bacon and eggs.
At the time, according to Sinatra, a researcher named
Ancel Keys presented a correlation between deaths from
coronary heart disease and the consumption of fat among
populations living in six countries. Only much later was it
determined that Keys selected only those countries that
ht his hypothesis, which was dietary fat consumption led
to heart disease, and avoidance of dietary fat, especially
saturated fats, was heart healthy.
This theory stuck for many years, said Sinatra. But we
convicted the wrong man, he insisted. We need saturated
fats for our lungs and our brains and for the transmission
of impulses through the nervous system. And we need
cholesterol in our skin to synthesize sunlight to vitamin D.
Instead of vilifying saturated fats, said Sinatra, we should
be focusing on the most important cause of heart disease
- systemic inhammation. !f you've ever had an athletic
injury, you're already familiar with painful inhammation
with its redness, swelling and warmth that occurs as a
result of immune system response to the injured area.
But inhammation that occurs within the entire body, called
chronic systemic inhammation," can wreak havoc in the
body. It affects not just one area, but many internal organs
and systems, including the blood vessels. And when the
THE STATIN DEBATE

The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology
(AHA/ACC) recently released new cardiovascular prevention guidelines that
have some medical professionals up in arms, particularly concerning the use of
cholesterol-lowering statins. According to the authors, the guidelines are based
upon the best available scientic data. In short, the new lipid lowering guidelines
move away from statin treatment based solely upon targeted levels of LDL (bad
cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol) and triglycerides. Instead, the AHA/ACC
recommend statin therapy for the following groups:
Those with conrmed heart disease
Those with LDL levels greater than 190
People ages 40-75 who have diabetes
People with a 10-year risk of heart disease greater than 7.5 percent, based upon a new
risk assessment calculator that uses an equation to determine risk based upon race, gender,
age, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, use of blood pressure medication,
diabetes status and smoking status.
Although many who have conrmed heart disease, high LDL levels and diabetes are
already using statins, adding the nal group (those with a 10-year risk of heart disease greater
than 7.5 percent), would amount to about 31 million people in all. That means a full one
third of Americas population between the ages of 40-65 are being placed on statins, said
John Higgins, MD, a sports cardiologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center at
Houston. This is not entirely agreeable to him. For people with conrmed atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease, statins appear to be very benecial, he said. But for those who
do not have diagnosed coronary disease, it is a little more difcult to put some of these on a
medication for life that is expensive and that has signicant side effects.
Amy L. Doneen, ARNP, medical director of the Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Center
in Spokane, Washington, and co-author of soon to be released book, Beat The Heart Attack
Gene, agrees that the guidelines may miss the mark, stating that there are many root causes
of vascular disease that statin therapy wont help. She said some people who have high
cholesterol but not vascular disease or vascular inammation may be treated needlessly.
We use statin therapy for individuals who have plaque in their arteries, not simply because
someone has high LDL levels, because it is one of the best drug classes to treat vascular
inammation, she said. These guidelines have the potential to place many people on
moderate to high dose statin therapy who dont have arterial plaque and contrarily, miss many
of the root causes of vascular disease that cannot be treated with isolated statin therapy.
According to the AHA, the new cardiovascular prevention guidelines are simply a tool to
encourage those who may be at high risk for heart disease to discuss the risks and benets of
statins with their physician. Which is a good plan, said Dr. Higgins, because statins, like any
drugs, have side effects that may be uncomfortable. And for athletes, he added, statins may
impair the exercise training effect on maximal oxygen capacity and muscle adaptations.
While you may ultimately need a statin, said Dr. Higgins, exercise, diet and avoiding
unhealthy habits are still my rst line treatment for many. If we could do a better job with
lifestyle changes, we could cut down on the use of statins.
blood vessels are inhamed, they allow
cholesterol to penetrate through the
artery wall to form plaque deposits.
Once there, the plaque oxidizes and
becomes inhamed, causing a rupture
in the artery wall, which leads to the
formation of blood clots that may
obstruct the how of blood to the heart
and cause a heart attack.
Diet dehnitely plays a factor in
systemic inhammation, acknowledged
Sinatra. Fats such as trans fats, for
example, found in some margarines,
snack foods like cookies or mufhns,
and fried foods like donuts or French
fries - can increase inhammation.
Omega 6 oils (found in safhower,
sunhower, corn and sesame oils),
while important in small amounts
in the diet, can also promote
inhammation. And sugary foods
and drinks are huge players in the
inhammatory process.
Certain health conditions
are associated with systemic
inhammation, too, said Amy L.
Doneen, ARNP, medical director of the
Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention
Center in Spokane, Washington, and
co-author of soon to be released
book, Beat The Heart Attack Gene.
Numerous pathologies, including
insulin resistance, periodontal disease,
autoimmune inhammatory diseases
such as rheumatoid arthritis and
many others, increase inhammation,"
she said.
But diet and inhammation are
not the only culprits involved in the
development of CAD, added Doneen,
who explained that there's a strong
genetic component to heart disease,
too. According to Doneen, genetic
studies and numerous epidemiological
studies have identihed genetic
markers for CAD, including a form
of cholesterol that is a subtype of
LDL (bad) cholesterol. This type of
cholesterol, called Lipoprotein (a),
or Lipo (a), is linked to genes on
chromosome 6, and is a strong risk
factor for CAD and stroke.
What to do to reduce your risk of
CAD? Here are some important steps
outlined in Doneen's book:
Know your family history. Family
history of cardiovascular disease is
one of the most important risks to
keep in mind, with studies hnding as
much as a threefold increase of CAD
in those with a hrst-degree relative
with the condition.
Get regular medical care, including blood
pressure and cholesterol screening, weight
checks and testing for insulin resistance. If
you have high blood pressure, diabetes or
prediabetes, follow the treatment plan your
doctor has recommended to keep things under
control. And dental care, including cleanings,
should be done ideally every three months to
prevent periodontal disease.
If you have chronic conditions that are linked
with inhammation, such as hypertension,
diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or periodontal
disease, if you have a hrst-degree relative
with CAD or if you are simply want to lower
your risk for CAD consider a consultation
with a physician who specializes in advanced
lipid testing, as well as testing for systemic
inhammation, blood vessel plaque formation
and genetic markers for CAD. Many of these
tests are reasonably priced and can help you
and your doctor to make a plan to reduce your
cardiovascular risk before problems start.
Keep your weight down. Obesity is linked
with insulin resistance and with inhammation.
The best diet for most people is a Nediterranean-
style diet that emphasizes plant-based foods,
such as fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, whole
grains, legumes and olive oil, along with
moderate amounts of cheese, yogurt, hsh
and wine. Adding one or two squares of dark
chocolate (at least 72 percent cocoa) daily can
help to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure,
and stave off insulin resistance.
Dont smoke.
Exercise regularly. Workouts dont have to
be strenuous or long to beneht the heart. Even
15-20 minutes of daily walking can do wonders.
Better yet, alternate bouts of higher intensity
exercise (like jogging) with walking. Interval
training helps to lower weight more effectively
and improve cholesterol levels, as well as
decreases your risk for insulin resistance.
Sleep 6-8 hours a night. Research links
obesity, diabetes and heart attack risk with sleep

9 NATURAL WAYS
TO LOWER YOUR
CHOLESTEROL
According to Janet Bond Brill, PhD, RD, LDN, a nutrition and tness
expert and author of Cholesterol Down, there are natural ways to lower
your cholesterol. Statins are a miracle drug, but they put a Band-Aid on
the problem. You can get your cholesterol down with the most powerful
medication there is what you choose to put in your mouth, and
exercise, she said. Here are nine heart healthy things Dr. Brill suggests
you put in your mouth each day:
Oatmeal Preferably steel cut, is high in soluble ber, which reduces the bodys
absorption of cholesterol from the intestines, lowering your LDL (bad) cholesterol
levels.
Unsalted raw almonds Almonds are an amazing source of healthy fat and
disease-busting antioxidants. And research shows that a daily handful of the tasty
nuggets can lower your LDL numbers.
Ground ax seed Flax seeds health benets come from high ber and heart-
healthy omega-3s, and may help reduce both total blood cholesterol and LDL.
Psyllium husk Many studies suggest that diets high in water-soluble ber such
as psyllium husk can lower your triglyceride levels. And psyllium may also help to
stabilize blood sugar levels, a denite plus for heart health.
Beans Beans have cholesterol-lowering ber, but they also contain phytonutrients
that may play key roles in cholesterol reduction.
Apples Polyphenols, antioxidant compounds found in apples, may help inhibit
the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which is the process that leads to plaque buildup in
the arteries. Apples are also a good source of soluble ber.
Plant sterols and stanols Plant sterols and stanols are naturally occurring
compounds found in plant cell membranes. They are structurally similar to the
bodys cholesterol, so when you consume them, they compete with cholesterol
for absorption in the digestive system, helping to block cholesterol. The National
Cholesterol Education Program recommends that those with high cholesterol
consume 2 grams of plant sterols and stanols daily, which can be found in fortied
milk, yogurt or juices or in supplement form.
Soy protein Numerous studies have demonstrated that including soy protein
in the diet, especially in place of animal proteins, reduce both LDL and total
cholesterol, especially in those with high cholesterol levels.
Garlic Some studies have suggested that garlic can have a modest effect on
lowering LDL levels.

COVERSTORY By Amy Schlinger
Contrary to popular belief, cardio isnt
the only way to lose those extra pounds you
may have packed on this winter. Strength
training can actually be a better option to
burn calories and build lean muscle. It
promotes gains in hypertrophy strength
and endurance through the breakdown and
rebuilding of muscle tissue, says Alexander
Kaufman, personal trainer and founder of
P.E.P.P.E.R. tness in New York City.
Strength training is one of the best ways to
build a complete, balanced body and can
be done both with and without equipment.
Workouts should focus on adding both
exibility and strength. When working
without equipment, it can be hard to target
smaller muscles and isolate them like you
would at a gym, says Kaufman. Focusing
on compound movements will drive your
strength through the roof in all areas.
Try this workout created by Kaufman that
can be done almost anywhere. Each time
you do this workout, add two more reps to
each exercise to continue progression. Rest
30 seconds to one minute between exercises,
and repeat the whole circuit one to three
times through. Continue for six weeks.

A Positive Attitude
Maintaining a positive attitude is one of the keys to achieving just about any
task. However, it can also be one of the toughest. When youve worked out all
week and eaten well, you expect the scale to move in the right direction. But
when it doesnt, youll need that positive attitude to keep you going. The only
way to succeed throughout this journey is to keep a positive state of mind,
says Chris Campbell, owner of Next Level Fit Training in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
There will be days when youre sore and tired and want to skip your training
sessionand thats when your positive mindset must take over. Succumbing
to negativity and an I-just-cant-do-it attitude virtually guarantees failure.
How to Make Your Weight
Loss Plan STICK THIS YEAR
Each and every time December 31 rolls
around we all make the same solemn vow:
This year, Im going to lose weight. So we
watch what we eat and go to the gym, only
to have our new dedication to wellness slowly
fall by the wayside, not to return until next
December 31. But you can make 2014 the
year that you lose weight and keep it off.
All you need to do is add these six crucial
components to your weight-loss strategy.

A Support Team
Think about the typical Oscar
acceptance speech, which always
involves the winners thanking
everyone theyve ever met for their
success. Very few people achieve
their dreams all on their own. And the
road to weight loss is no different.
The road to success while following a
weight-loss plan is long and bumpy,
continues Campbell. It is extremely
difhcult to travel this path alone."
He recommends having people
in your corner to give you guidance
as well as support while you work
to achieve better health, namely, a
trainer and a workout buddy. Trainers
can offer expertise and guidance
to help you reach your goals, while
diet and exercise buddies can offer
you good, old-fashioned strength in
numbers. One of the main reasons
individuals train in groups is for the
extra support, continues Campbell.
They all encourage each other to
hnish each exercise down to the last
rep.
A Plan
No matter how you choose to get
healthy (no-carbs, clean eating,
joining a weight-loss group, etc.)
youve got to have a plan and stick
to it. Understanding what, when,
and how much to eat, as well as
specihcally what exercise plan to
follow will ultimately determine
success or failure, says Scott Herkes,
certihed htness nutrition specialist and
franchisee of two Max Muscle Sports
Nutrition stores. One of the best
means of self-sabotage is setting a
goal with no clear path to success.
Patience
We all know how this works. The
weight falls off the hrst few weeks,
then you hit a plateau and the scale
barely budges. This often leads to
frustration, which can lead to binge
eating and skipping the gym. Then
you eventually end up right back
where you started: overweight and
out of shape. Keeping in mind that
fast weight loss usually doesnt stay
off, patience is something that will
pay big dividends, continues Herkes.
Losing a pound or two per week is
perfect andfor the best chance of
success [think of this] as a lifestyle
adjustment, not a fastest-loser
contest.
An Open Mind
A commitment to losing weight is a
commitment to embracing change.
Youll be swapping out a sedentary life
of processed foods for a new world
of delicious whole foods and sweat-
inducing workouts. And the best way
to ensure that these changes stick
is to keep an open mind. Take on
the challenge of new workouts, like
spinning, yoga, kettlebell and boot
camps, and experiment with new
foods and healthier remakes of some
of your favorite recipes.
You may even have to resort to
a little bit of word play and trickery
to keep your mind open to new
experiences. The hrst step to being
more open to healthy foods is to
stop calling them healthy, says Kate
Davis, RD, owner of RDKate Sports
Nutrition. Healthy is another dieters
term that holds negative connotations
for many. Instead, think of these
foods as fun, energizing or life-
prolonging. She recommends trying
one new energizing food per week
to add to your culinary repertoire
and keep your meal plans fresh and
exciting.
Accident Forgiveness
Accidents happenand so do
cupcakes, French fries, happy hour
cocktails and skipping the gym.
The goal is not to completely avoid
occasional slip-ups, but to avoid
berating yourself when they do
happen. Feelings of guilt can quickly
evolve into a complete shutdown
of your healthy lifestyle changes. I
have never had a client who didnt
fall off the wagon, so to speak, says
Alana Cabrero, RD, nutrition program
coordinator at The New York Health
& Racquet Club in New York City. My
advice is to savor the treat and then
hit the rest button. Dont let one slice
of pizza lead to a bucket of wings. You
can always hx it at the next meal." By
forgiving yourself for your occasional
indiscretions and moving on with your
healthy living plan, you can vastly
increase your chances for permanent
success. MS&F

COVERMODELS
Over the past few years Ive had the opportunity to
photograph approximately 30 different covers for Max
Sports & Fitness magazine. In that time, we have been
privileged to see such a growth with the publication and
the features weve been able to take on and share with
you, our readers.
The inspiration for this feature came from looking
through all the previous cover shoots weve worked on
and a curiosity about where the careers have gone with
many of the talents who have been proled. We were
able to bring together six of our previous cover models for
a large group photo shoot in Arizona.
Included in the group was Tiffani Bachus, RD, who I
had the opportunity to work with on my rst ever cover
for MS&F. It was just a few months later I photographed
Kasie Rae, who has such a strong dynamic look and
appeal. We also brought back Gyda Loveres and Shandi
Hudson who shared the December 2011 cover, which
was part of the rst creative project I ever pitched to the
magazine entitled The Fitness Diversity project. Morgan
Trans cover was her return to shooting after a long health
recovery and was one of the edgier and more dramatic
covers weve done. Finally, we had Michelle Mozek,
who we photographed outside during a brutal heat wave
but yet her cover became an ADDY Award-winning cover.
It has been such an honor working with so many
outstanding talents throughout the years and to be able to
bring some of them back for this group shoot was a true
privilege. Next, nd out where these ladies are and what
they've been up to since their cover shoots.

Box Jumps
(Men use a 27 box and women use a 20 box.)
Jump up with both feet onto the box at the same

make sure you fully open your hips. Jump back

FIGHTER
'WOD'
As I began the MaxForm
Life Challenge, I knew I needed
an intense quality workout
program that would not only
build muscle and burn fat but
would provide balance with
my family and career. CrossFit
became my workout weapon of
choice.
CrossFit provided a
support system that coached,
encouraged and cheered me
on. CrossFit creates that family
of men and women all seeking
EHWWHU WQHVV DQG JUHDWHU
SK\VLFDO DELOLWLHV ,W LV GHQHG
as a regimen of constantly
varied, functional movements
performed at high intensity in a
communal environment.
CrossFit provides benchmark
workouts to measure your

yourself and others. The
workouts can be scaled or

levels or workout facility.
This Workout of the Day
(WOD), which is one of my
favorites, simulates the physical
exertion of a mixed martial
artist.
Perform each exercise for
one minute with no rest
as one round. Rest one
minute after each round is
completed. Do 4 rounds.
Look for more winning workouts as
we feature one workout per month

MaxForm Life Challenge nalists.
Do 4 rounds rotating each exercise every minute.

Wall Balls
(Men use a 20-lb. medicine ball, women
a 14-lb. ball.) Use a wall that has a
10-foot mark from the hoor for men,
and an 8-foot mark for women. Start in
standing position, then drop into a front
squat and use an explosive hip drive to
push/throw the ball up to the mark on
the wall. Immediately drop back into a
front squat as you catch the ball back in
that position. That is one rep.
Note: You can vary the ball weight
depending on your training goals,
conditioning and strength.
Air Squats
Stand with your feet at a distance slightly
wider than your hips. Keep your weight on
your heels. Bend both knees so they come
out slightly over your feet. Hold your hands
out in front of you to help balance as you
lower your hips straight down. Your torso
should remain in a vertical position. Stand
back up, pushing your hips forward hrst.
That is one rep.
Push Press
Have bar racked with weights at your neck level, hands facing up, backs of arms
parallel with the ground. Slightly dip into a front squat. Come up and extend the
hips and legs, generatating an upward momentum. Once the bar is above your
head, your head comes forward as you fully extend hips, legs and arms.
That is one rep.

THE FIRST STEP IS ASCERTAINING YOUR
STARTING LINE. To do this, it is imperative to pay a
visit to your physician, then with his or her blessing,
move on to the next step. Begin goal-setting with a
Certified Fitness Nutrition Coach and perhaps set
up an appointment with a trusted personal trainer.
Though this program may (and should) evolve, these
fundamentals will remain intact as the foundation
of your program. After all, true health is the perfect
balance of inputs (nutrition), outputs (physical
activity) and rest.
Once you have these prerequisites established, you
may find yourself needing further assistance, be it to
make the application of your newfound knowledge
comfortable, or potentially to shatter a plateau that
has you stuck in a rut and unmotivated. The good
news is that Max Muscle Sports Nutrition is here to
help! In addition to providing assistance with a
customized nutrition plan and a trainer referral, the
elite supplement companys top-notch group
of scientists have sent another few gems down the
R & D pipeline known as Lean Cycle 3. This
fat-blast stack by Max Muscle offers a balanced and
effective solution to everyday weight loss woes.
Lean Cycle 3 is comprised of three revolutionary,
cutting-edge products tailor-made to improve health
and enhance weight loss via safe, proven means.
The research and
development team at
Max Muscle Sports
Nutrition helmed by
Dr. Phil Harvey has
come up with a
product that not only
improves your health,
but also helps you
lose excess weight
fast! Cleanse &
Lean offers you a
solution to your
digestive issues as
well as a way to
remove excess water and waste from your body.
Often stress, poor diet and everyday issues affect our
bodys ability to deal with excess fluid and weight
causing numerous problems. Cleanse & Lean
addresses the bloating or excess water that many of
us hold just beneath the skin, in our hips, abs, legs,
etc. Cleanse & Lean helps you remove this excess
fluid from your system, helping you drop weight and
lean up. It also promotes regularity. Regularity is
essential for your health. If youre backed up, Cleanse

& Lean can help you get back on track and, in the
process, enable your body to absorb more nutrients
and lose more weight. Im a firm believer in using
Cleanse & Lean to establish a blank slate, nutrition-
ally speaking, especially after the holidays, main-
tains Certified Fitness Nutrition Coach Austin

loss provide a fantastic launching pad for my nutrition
clients. This should be a focal point for any health or
weight-loss regimen.
emerge is a powerful fat loss and body composition
slenderizing system specially formulated to inhibit
appetite, promote the release of fat from stored fat
cells and accelerate the burning of fat for fuel.
emerge contains clinically proven weight loss ingre-
dients to suppress appetite, provide maximum
calorie burning specifically from fat, increase energy
and elevate the bodys metabolism. The combination
of selected ingredients promotes a metabolic shift,
scientists describe as fuel partitioning by shifting
the burning of fat as fuel rather than fat for storage.
Chief science officer at Max Muscle and industry
leader, Dr. Phil Harvey, shares some of the brains
behind the formulation of this exciting product.
emerge provides an additional factor beyond the
sound science that makes up its fat loss ingredients
its satisfying! The fact that its a drink mix and its
tasty often keeps clients from deviating from their
diets by consuming sugary drinks, he says. The
high fiber content of emerge will also make the user
feel more full, lessening the likelihood of overcon-
sumption or binge eating. In addition to a weight loss
supplement, emerge also serves as a pre-workout
drink and a healthy, cost-effective replacement for
coffee and energy drinks.
LIPO RED Target-ed

tion is a targeted fat
burner containing the
most powerfu legal in-
gredients available in
order to promote the
most efficient fat
burning meta-bolism,
elevate the bodys
thermogenic furnace,
suppress appetite and
provide intense and
extended energy. LIPO RED was specifically
designed to attack deep fat stores through multiple
pathways by stimulating both white and brown
adipose tissues. We looked at the best legal and
natural ingredients available to help us develop the
strongest and safest fat burner on the market. They
had to be safe, natural and more importantly be
combined in a single formula that people could trust
and revel in the results, says Dr. Harvey.
The Lean Cycle 3 offers users the opportunity to
cover all the bases and adequately target fat loss
from all directions. With LIPO RED, users get the
benefits of a strong thermogenic optimally designed
for energy, fat loss, alertness and a formulation strong
enough to get into the deep adipose tissue. Cleanse
& Lean offers users the opportunity to properly detox
their body, become healthier, reduce inflammation
and drop unwanted water weight. emerge taps into
the thermogenic process while also adding fiber to
the users diet, not to mention making weight loss
pleasurable. Between the three products, Lean
Cycle 3 boasts, almost every major weight loss
ingredient of the modern age, says Dr. Harvey. With
the Lean Cycle 3 stack, the message wed like to
get across is that it contains proven weight loss
remedies, backed by sound science, delivered in a
few different formats from a drink mix to a capsule.
And most importantly, it works!

I have learned over the last
year that staying motivated and
determined is no easy task, but
then again nothing in life worth
having comes easy. You have to
make up your mind to give it your
all and never give up. You have to
dig deeper every day. That means
doing that extra rep when you're
exhausted, sticking to your diet
100 percent, making the right
choices one decision after another.
This all counts towards meeting
your goals. Plus, you never know
who's watching or looking at
you for motivation. The constant
thought of possibly letting someone
down was motivation enough for
me keep going that extra mile.
These are a few things that
I have done and do to stay
motivated, which include the
following:
I remind myself every day of why
I started this journey.

knowing that I helped play a
part in changing my father's
life. He's doing the 2014
MaxForm Life Challenge!
He has been sticking to
his meal plan and giving
it his all by working out
twice a day, six days a
week. Also, he works
full time and is a
family man. It's hard
to put into words
how proud I am of
my father. If there's
one man I've always
looked to for my
motivation, it's my
father. He goes the
extra mile no matter
what is going on in
life.
Keep in mind your
drive and determination
can be someone else's
motivation. So, the next
time you're in the gym,
push harder and dig
deeper because you never
know who's watching, or
whose life you may touch.
The next time you are
losing motivation and want
to give up, remind yourself
of why you started and who
you are doing it for. More
importantly, always maintain a
positive mental attitude!

"Thank you Max Muscle"

motivated and continues to
motivate myself and many

MAXRESULTS "Y *ACKIE #LASSEN --3. &RANCHISEE s 0HOTOS BY *AMES0ATRICKCOM
Ingri DeGroote, 40, of Vancouver, WA was really good
at taking care of the people she loved. She had four young
daughters, regularly volunteered in her community and
church and worked as a caregiver for ill family and friends.
She worked hard to care for her family but was surprised
one day during a conversation with her new trainer when
she realized she didnt take good care of herself. I would
do all those things for my entire family but I wouldnt do
them for me, she said. Why wasnt I as important as my
family? Ingri had to learn to say no to others and yes to
herself.
Shocked by the disturbing epiphany that somehow taking
care of herself always ranked dead last on her impossible to
do list, Ingri decided that 2012 was going to be the start of
a strategic year of self care, a year of healing.
As a borderline diabetic who was 70 pounds overweight,
Ingri acknowledges today that she began this health
journey motivated to help her family but it became about
helping herself. She discovered the MaxForm Life Challenge
contest and according to her, it was the hrst thing she has
ever started and hnished just for her.
Working with Stacey England at Max Muscle Sports
Nutrition East Vancouver for her nutrition plan and
supplements, Ingri began taking control of her nutrition.
She admits that before her year of healing she would drink
Diet Coke for breakfast, would not even prepare a plate for
herself at lunch instead she would eat the kids' leftovers
and then overeat with a big heavy fried southern dinner.
Under Stacy's guidance as a Certihed Fitness Nutrition
Coach (CFNC), Ingri ate rolled oats, berries, sweet
potatoes, egg whites, avocados, chicken, hsh, vegetables,
cottage cheese and occasionally a Quest bar! She ate six
small meals a day and began to see food as nutrients and
fuel to get me where I wanted to go, she said.
Ingri admitted that the biggest challenge she faced in
changing her lifestyle was choosing me and learning that
setting aside time for herself was OK. At hrst, ! felt like
! was being selhsh," she said. ! was totally depleted, !
couldnt give anymore, and I was just exhausted beyond
exhausted. I had to learn to step back and take care of
myself, she said.
It was her trainer who put it bluntly: I cant take care of
How MaxForm Life Challenge Top 10 contestant, Ingri DeGroote, realized
it's OK to take care of herself rst so she can better care for others.
you once you leave here. You have to stay true to yourself.
In addition to powering her body with clean nutrition,
Ingri used the following products to help her body recover
from her intense workouts and build lean muscle: Max
Lean and MaxPro for her proteins, Max Glutamine, Max
EFA, Vit-Acell Energy, Max Liqui-Carn, Quadra Cuts, Full
Blown Extreme and Emerge.
Ingri credits her CFNC Stacy, Karen King and Elba
Benzler (BOLD Training owners), and her trainer with
giving her the support she needed along the way to make
lifelong lifestyle changes. The support she received online
at MyMaxMuscle.com from others going through the same
challenges helped her stay motivated. Ingri said, Max
Muscle's MaxForm Life Challenge reward is this with
each pound lost I found another piece of me that had been
forgotten or was broken! This momma is back!
Ingris father told her from an early age, work hard,
never lie and dont cheat yourself. During her year of
healing and the MaxForm Life Challenge Ingri said, I
hnally did this, ! worked hard, ! didn't lie to me and !
didnt cheat myself.
Said Ingri, I have learned through the process that
doing for yourself does not mean you are being selhsh.
When you give to yourself, you have more to give to
others. In my 40th year, with each pound lost, I grew. I
grew into the woman I was meant to be. MS&F

Arpana Prasad, 33, of Portland, Oregon used an
unfortunate job loss in October 2012 and turned it into
a blessing in disguise. It was a chance to focus on me,
she said. ! was pretty devastated, overweight, not ht and
depressed.
It was Arpanas friend, Sanjana Pahalad-Mancuso,
franchisee of the Max Muscle Portland store who encouraged
Arpana to sign up for the 2013 MaxForm Life Challenge
contest and create a healthy goal to get motivated. Once
she started focusing on clean nutrition and incorporated
challenging workouts into her day, her body started to
respond and soon she began thinking what if I can? This is
when the real transformation began!
According to Arpana, something her hance, Josh Harrison,
said at the beginning of the challenge really stuck with her.
He said, This challenge starts in December and it ends in
June. June can come around and you can be the exact same
or you might feel a little better." Josh helped Arpana see that
she could do anything for seven months.
Sanjana designed a customized nutrition plan and Arpana
used the break in her career to focus on herself for once.
When you are working full time, it is hard to make it all ht,"
she said. This was a chance to focus on me.
Sanjana convinced Arpana that the MaxForm Life
Challenge would change her life, and it certainly did! As
Arpana focused on her healthy goal, she started feeling
better, and soon it became harder and harder to quit.
Instead of being something she had to do, the workouts
became something she wanted to do.
On Dec. 1 at a starting weight of 153 pounds and 33
percent body fat, Arpana started strategically approaching
her health and htness goals.
By the end of the challenge she weighed 117 pounds and
had reduced her body fat to 12 percent, far surpassing her
initial goal to get down to 125 pounds.
Arpana used Max Muscle products to supplement her
whole-food nutrition. Her favorites included High 5,
LiquiCarn, CNS Black, Quadra Cuts Night-Time, Full Blown
Extreme, Glutamine, Max Gourmet and Emerge.
The hardest part of the challenge for Arpana was actually
getting started. Once she started, her body responded
MAXRESULTS "Y *ACKIE #LASSEN --3. &RANCHISEE s 0HOTOS BY *AMES0ATRICKCOM
quickly and soon the mental transformation was becoming
even more noticeable than the physical changes. She began
thinking what if and one thought led to another. What if
! could actually look like one of those htness competitors?"
and What if I train intensely today? and What if I eat
clean today?
Encouraged by her early success in the challenge, Arpana
took a bold step in April and hired trainer Noel Fuller, who
specialized in bodybuilding. It was a leap of faith but by
April, Arpana was already regularly thinking what if so she
was willing to step out of her comfort zone and admit she
wanted to look like one of the htness competitors she saw in
the magazines.
Arpana rehects that in October of 2012 she was a
wounded person. She doubted herself and didnt have a
goal to stay motivated. She was depressed and needed to
lose weight. By April 2013, she had the reins in her hand,
she was in control and she was determined to achieve her
very specihc goals. Life was on high octane!
By June 2013, Arpana had changed from the inside out.
She said, It doesnt even have to be a weight-loss goal, it
can be something else in life. If you want it, whatever it is,
do whatever it takes to get to the goal now. Stop using
excuses.
Will you dare to ask yourself, what if? MS&F

THE TRUTH
Losing weight tops many peoples list of things they want

when it comes to health, and cutting calories is often perceived
as a means to do that. It would be nice if weight maintenance
was as easy as a simple math equation, said Stephanie Easterly,
a registered dietician and Certied Wellness Coach at the
Scottsdale Healthcare Bariatric Center. While its important to
consider calories in versus calories out, its essential to look at the
quality of your calories and your bodys response to them.
Calories are not created equal. Have you ever eaten a
high-calorie, sugar-laden dessert and experienced the crash
that follows? Compare this to an equally high calorie meal
of avocados and lean meat cooked in healthy oils. Although
the calorie count might be equal, this doesnt account for the
hormonal and emotional effect the calories have on a person,
ABOUT CALORIES
which can potentially trigger other healthy or unhealthy
physical or nutritional patterns.
Do calories matter? Of course they do. You cant consume
an excess of anything well beyond what your body expends
and expect to lose weight. However, of equal importance
is the quality of the calorie and the source from which its
derived.
Here are some important tips that will help you get the
most out of your calories.
EAT LOWEST CALORICALLY
DENSE FOODS FIRST
Low calorically dense foods provide fewer total calories and
greater nutrition in a larger volume of food, said Easterly.
Vegetables are considered among this group. A 2004 study
from the Pennsylvania State University published in the
Photo by Natalie Minh
Journal of the American Dietetic
Association, found that eating a veggie-
packed salad prior to eating other food
typically helps reduce the overall calories
a person consumes during a meal.
According to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Food Guide Pyramid,
individuals should minimally consume
two and a half servings of vegetables
daily. So, meeting calorie requirements
through vegetables is a dehnite way to
promote healthy metabolism and feel
satished.
EAT FOODS HIGH
IN FIBER
Fiber is hlling and consuming a
healthy amount slows digestion and
promotes feeling fuller faster. This helps
individuals stay within a reasonable
caloric consumption range. It can
ensure that the calories we are eating
are nutrient hlled (many hber-rich foods
include vegetables and fruits). Some
of the best high-hber options include
foods such as broccoli, carrots, Brussels
sprouts, apples, cabbage, avocados,
pears, bananas and eggplant.
AVOID CRAVINGS
The body adapts over time and it
naturally craves what it is used to
eating. If you are making a change in
your diet by eating healthy nutrient-rich
options, expect an adjustment period.
When you expose yourself to empty
calories, your body will continue to crave
those nutritionally-lacking foods, leaving
you constantly searching and craving for
more with little to no long-term satiety,
said Easterly. Healthy whole foods
should account for at least 80 percent
of your choices daily. Over time, your
old cravings will subside and you will be
more inclined to want healthier options.
SPICE IT UP
Herbs and spices are an amazing
way to add havor, nutrients, anti-
inhammatory properties, digestion
enhancers and a myriad of other
additional health benehts without
adding empty calories or unnecessary
additives," said certihed holistic
nutritionist and restaurant owner Kirsten
Carey. Cayenne, for example, has
long been studied for its fat burning
capability. !t can add havor to food,
making it more desirable without
adding unnecessary calories. Ginger
has been regarded as a dietetic and
used medicinally for years. Finally, a
2003 study published in Diabetes Care
showed that as little as one teaspoon
of cinnamon per day can lower blood
glucose levels, thereby promoting
weight-loss. MS&F

Expressions of love and friendship are what Valentines Day is all about. It is
the designated day of the year to let others know you care about them. A romantic
dinner, a cuddly teddy bear and of course, fresh howers are wonderful ways to
celebrate. But research shows chocolate is second only to greeting cards as the most
popular gift on this day when love is spread around the world. Love begins in our
hearts, so having a healthy heart goes hand in hand or perhaps, heart to heart.
!nstead of buying sugar-hlled milk chocolate candies this year, impress your special
someone by hand-rolling dark chocolate trufhes. !t's easier than you may realize and
dark chocolate is proven to promote a healthier heart. Most of the heart health in
dark chocolate comes from the havanols, which improve blood how to the brain and
heart, help lower blood pressure and possess antioxidant qualities.
Look for dark chocolate that is between 70 and 85 percent cocoa with little or
no sugar added and made from quality producers who use minimal processing
techniques. Valrhona and ScharffenBerger are good examples and are widely
available but by no means are the only brands producing quality low-sugar dark
chocolate bars. Read labels and try a few different producers to discover your
favorite and then get on with rolling those trufhes.
This recipe follows the diet of the NBA Los Angeles Lakers by using heavy cream
and butter. LA Lakers Chef Sandra Padilla stands by her healthy ingredients by
using cream and butter exclusively from grass-fed cows, which she says promotes
lubricated joints and is overall positive in promoting good health. Remember,
however, professional athletes have a rigorous training schedule so consume wisely.

VITALNUTRITION By Alissa Carpio
The cornerstone of any effective weight management program is adhering to
a sound training regimen and nutrition plan. No matter how many gimmicks are
dangled in front of your face like juicy carrots, you still know that exceptional results
come from consistency and dedication. That being said, fat-burning supplements can
be a very efcient addition to a sound program. Most physique competitors use some
sort of fat burner to help with appetite control, energy levels and mobilizing fat for
energy. This article will touch on various categories of supplements that can enhance
your efforts in dieting and exercising.
What is a fat burner? This group of supplements varies greatly and can be dened
as a dietary supplement that claims to assist in fat loss. These can include both
stimulant and non-stimulant ingredients. Most stimulants aim to, by either a singular
or combination of ingredients, increase metabolic rate and/or body heat. Stimulants
can also be classied as thermogenics. A stimulant by denition is a substance that
raises levels of physiological or nervous activity in the body. Often, this means an
increase in heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety. Non-stimulants claim to offer many
benets associated with fat reduction by way of varying mechanisms but without an
increase in physiological or nervous activity. Both supplement types are extremely
benecial when combined with proper diet and exercise; however each ingredient
must be carefully considered based on individual sensitivities, current medications
and pre-existing health conditions.
Popular ingredients in over-the-counter fat burners include various forms of caffeine,
yohimbine, synephrine and green tea extract, as well as L-carnitine and CLA. The
skys the limit when it comes to fat burners. Research has shown many of these
ingredients to be promising in assisting with fat-loss efforts. To prevent information

ingredients

notch fat-loss
supplements.
overload and to keep this article concise,
this piece will focus on the six previously
mentioned ingredients.
Caffeine. Caffeine is clearly the
most popular and widely consumed
stimulant worldwide, with more than 90
percent of North Americans consuming
some form of this drug on a daily basis.
Coffee, tea, soft drinks and energy
drinks are just a few of the popular
marketplace offerings providing you
with your daily caffeine hx. Caffeine is
known for its ability to increase energy
and alertness. Caffeine is also one of
the most studied stimulants and is
proven to assist with fat burning and
performance enhancement.
Paraxanthine, the primary
dimethylxanthine metabolite found in
caffeine, is responsible for lipolysis and
Free Fatty Acid (FFA) mobilization in
other words, fat burning. One of the
highest concentrations of caffeine is

present in the herb guarana, which
contains 3.6-5.8 percent caffeine by
volume, while coffee only provides 2
percent, according to WebMD.
Yohimbine. Studies such as the one
in a 2002 issue of Medical Hypotheses
promote the idea that yohimbine is
a useful tool in the hght against fat
loss. As an alpha-2 antagonist, this
herb boosts lipolysis and serum FFA
levels during and post exercise. When
taken in moderate doses, yohimbine
accomplishes this without raising heart
rate, blood pressure or anxiety. Another
2006 study in Research and Sports
Medicine found that when yohimbine
was administered to soccer players in
doses of 20mg twice daily for 21 days,
post supplementation observation
showed a signihcant reduction in body
fat and a much lower level of body
fat mass versus a placebo group.
Yohimbine HCL is a purihed, standard
substance while yohimbe bark extract
may contain various amounts of the
active ingredient and may contain
hllers.
Synephrine. Bitter orange
extract (Citrus aurantium) contains
a potent fat burning ingredient in
the form of p-synephrine. This form
of synephrine has been proven to
exhibit a thermogenic effect on the
body by increasing Resting Metabolic
Rate (RMR). A 2011 study in the
International Journal of Medical Science
found that synephrine caused no rise
in resting heart rate or blood pressure.
The combination of a thermogenic
that does not raise heart rate or blood
pressure makes bitter orange extract
an extremely popular and effective
ingredient in many fat burners today.
Green Tea Extract. High levels
of catechins present in green tea
extract have been shown to help in
the reduction of body fat. Numerous
studies, including one in the 2005
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
have shown a direct correlation
between catechin intake and fat loss.
Intake in this particular study was
690mg catechins daily for a 12-week
period. An added beneht of green tea is
a reduction in LDL cholesterol.
L-Carnitine. This popular amino
acid has been linked to fat loss
for decades. The mitochondria is
considered to be the cells furnace,
and L-carnitine works by transporting
fatty acids into the mitochondria
to be used as fuel. Studies remain
controversial on its effectiveness,
however. Although there is promise
that this amino may offer assistance
in burning mobilized fat, as well as
recovering from exercise due to its
glycogen-sparing effect, many studies
show no link to fat reduction. L-carnitine
can stave off fatigue and increase
oxygen efhciency during exercise,
leading to more effective workouts
and an increase in fat loss. L-carnitine
remains safe with no major known side
effects, however, so it may be an option
to assist in weight loss efforts.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
(CLA). CLA has been shown to be a
potent ingredient in fat loss by assisting
the liver in fat metabolism. Many
studies have substantiated the claims
that this fatty acid assists in burning
white fat stores while enhancing lean
body mass. A 2012 study in the Lipids
in Health and Disease Journal published
results that both Omega 3 and CLA
enhance glycolytic, oxidative and overall
metabolism. Both ingredients also
greatly increase mitochondrial content,
proving that CLA and Omega 3 are a
great addition to a healthy diet and a
weight management plan.
A popular stack among Max Muscle
customers in Northern Virginia is
what franchisee and IFBB Figure Pro
Corry Matthews calls the belly blaster
stack, which is a combination of Max
LiquiCarn and Max CLA. Matthews said,
The key to these two supplements
is consistency. LiquiCarn needs to be
taken hrst thing in the morning on an
empty stomach or 30 minutes prior to a
workout. And for CLA to work, you must
take the 6 capsules daily. It needs to
build up in you system before it really
starts working. She refers to this stack
as the ultimate non-stimulant fat-
burner.
It cannot be stressed enough that
supplementation is in addition to a
solid exercise and nutrition program!
Kevin Myles, Editor-in-Chief for Bella
Fit Magazine, author of The Diet
That Works and certihed training and
nutrition specialist, emphasizes this
truth. The biggest mistake people
make with fat burners is taking them
without making the necessary changes
to their htness program. Without a
proper diet and consistent exercise
program, any potential beneht to be
gained from the addition of fat burners
simply wont happen. Make sure to start
with a good htness program that will
produce results.
The other big mistake people make
with fat burners is taking them in
excessive amounts or for extended
periods of time. Always follow the
directions and recommended dosages
listed on the label. More is not
necessarily better and will not make up
for a bad diet, Myles said. In addition to
a sound nutrition and exercise plan, fat
burners with stimulant or thermogenic
properties should be cycled and should
be used strictly according to the
manufacturers guidelines.
DISCLAIMER! Read all warnings
and consult your healthcare provider
prior to adding any supplements to
your plan. Certain health conditions
and medications conhict with these
supplements, so only your doctor can tell
you if they are right for you. MS&F

LipoRED
LipoRED has been formulated with
three of the most potent fat burning
ingredients on the market: caffeine,
raspberry ketones and yohimbine HCL.
Caffeine is a stimulant which provides
energy and alertness while helping to
break down and release stored fat.
Raspberry ketones have been shown to
increase beta-oxidation (fat burning) as
well as catecholamine-induced lipolysis
(fat breakdown). Yohimbine HCL is a
very potent alpha-2 antagonist that
promotes fat loss from deep fat stores.
Yohimbine HCL is more potent than the
popular form of yohimbe extract. IFBB
Figure Pro and Max Muscle Franchisee
Corry Matthews shares her thoughts
on LipoRED: If you want to feel your
fat burner, this is the one for you! Very
powerful and very potent, LipoRED is not
for the faint of heart! This one takes some
getting used to, but with proper nutrition
and training, LipoRED probably has the
best overall fat burning properties to it.

Extraordinary solutions to ordinary problems. This was the goal from the
very beginning of the X-Series created by Max Muscle Sports Nutrition.
Helmed by Dr. Phillip Harvey, the elite team of scientists that comprises Max
Muscles research and development team wanted to create ultimate solutions
to everyday problems that plague society. These same scientists are the ones
behind the cutting-edge formulas youve come to expect from Max Muscle
Sports Nutrition. For years now, their purpose has been to optimize the health,
wellness and performance of people from all walks of life. Max Muscles own
personal Manhattan Project aimed at improving lives through the pinnacles of
science and innovation, combined with the potency and quality youve
come to expect.
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
2TX: If the X-Series is Max
Muscles Manhattan Project,
2TX has to be the first atom
bomb. 2TX by MMSN
represents the elite arsenal in
testosterone amplification and
age-related hormonal support.
2TXs innovative and science-
based formula is strategically
designed to promote the
powerful natural testosterone mechanisms within the
male body, releasing testosterone from binding transport
proteins, optimizing steroid receptor binding capacity,
and blocking unwanted estrogen production. The key
ingredients in 2TX have been shown in human clinical
trials to increase free (unbound and bioavailable) testos-
terone by 98 percent. Free testosterone is the only form
of the hormone that binds to androgen receptors
resulting in both anabolic and androgenic effects.
Androgen binding then activates a cascade of biological
mechanism for protein synthesis, tissue growth,
increased bone density and muscle strength. The best
analogy is if youre driving a hot rod, and for some
reason, you were unable to floor the gas pedal and go
as fast as possible, that would represent low testoster-
one. Through a natural means the 2TX enables you to
floor your bodys own natural testosterone production,
thereby enhancing your levels to the highest possible
rate, naturally possible.
Who Is It For? Testosterone levels begin to decline
in the late third or early fourth decade and diminish at a
constant rate thereafter. Steeper declines occur in
unbound or free testosterone. Lower testosterone levels
is a major risk factor for a multitude of metabolic and
mental health conditions. 2TX was designed as a natural
solution to this problem of low T. 2TX effectively serves
as the bridge between your own production and boosting
your testosterone from an outside source, all the while
keeping everything natural. 2TX can be used by any male
over the age of 30 suffering from diminishing testoster-
one levels or anyone looking to optimize their own health
and fitness to reach their goals.

-48 The MTX was created
to be the sister product to 2TX
for testosterone support.
MTXs innovative and
evidence-based formula is
driven by the premier patented
ingredient Myotestoserone.
Myotestosterone has been shown in published rigorous
clinical studies to significantly increase testosterone
levels in healthy men. MTX delivers clinically validated
doses of Myotestosterone along with powerful synergis-
tic ingredients to get the results you expect from a
top-shelf Max Muscle product. Whereas 2TX is primarily
herbal based, using the all-natural, plant-based, Testo-
furenol and Testofen as its core root ingredients (in
addition to its own synergistic blend of ingredients), the
Myotestosterone in MTX is sourced from an entirely
different ingredient, D-Aspartic Acid. D-Aspartic Acid
(DAA) is a physiological amino acid occurring principally
in the pituitary gland, neuroendocrine tissues, and the
male testes. MTXs own version of this, Myotestoster-
one, is so potent that in many cases it has been shown
to take effect in as little as three days!
Who Is It For? MTX shares a similar core audience
and intended user base as 2TX. The primary concern
and thus objective of MTX is to aid in the production of
testosterone through natural means. In fact, studies
have shown that through natural means the MTX and
2TX, when combined, can work in conjunction to free a
higher sum of molecules for the bodys testosterone
production. Its also a good idea to try one or the other
to see which one garners the greatest effect from your
body, and in most cases, users should feel tangible
benefit from both. If this is the case, the best way to
bulletproof your hormone levels and quality of life is to
take them both. As with any new dietary supplement, be
sure to contact your local Certified Fitness Nutrition
Coach for proper dosing and safety.

Nutrition developed ADRX for
advanced adrenal support.
ADRX is a scientifically-based
formula delivering comprehen-
sive nutritional support for
healthy adrenal function. The
ADRX formula was designed to
promote optimization of the
adrenal hormones and reset
adrenal homeostasis. It is an ideal formula for post
thermogenic and/or high-stimulant cycles and periods.
The adrenals are major endocrine glands in the body and
produce a variety of hormones in response to both acute
and chronic stress. During acute stress, the adrenals
secrete both adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline
(norepinephrine). These hormones are involved in the
bodys fight or flight response. The adrenals also
produce corticosteroids, such as glucocorticoids and
mineralocorticoids in the response to chronic stress
using carbohydrates, proteins, and fats as fuels and
regulating fluid plus electrolyte (salt) balance within the
body. The plant adaptogens contained within ADRX are
compounds that increase the ability for humans to adapt
to environmental stressors. These adaptogenic herbs
have been used for hundreds of years, especially in
traditional medicine. The combined effect of the various
natural, plant-based herbs in ADRX provide multi-
functional support for general mental and physical
wellness. Furthermore, anti-fatigue and anti-stress
effects are both primary benefits of the formulation, in
addition to other benefits, including immune support,
nervous system support, relaxation promotion, healthy
cortisol activity and mood balance.
Who Is It For? The ADRX formula was designed to
reset adrenal homeostasis and promote optimization.
ADRX delivers comprehensive nutritional support for
healthy adrenal function, effectively making it the most
advanced and clinically validated formula from Max
Muscle for overall adrenal health. Anyone who regularly
takes high-amounts of stimulants, including caffeine can
inherit great benefit. Additionally, anyone looking to
improve their overall general health and enhance their
recovery should consider including this product in their
own nutritional lineup.

'(48 The team of scientists
at Max Muscle set out to create
a comprehensive product for
advanced gh endocrine
secretagogue support. GHTX
is the result of their efforts; a
scientifically-based formula to
provide the body with precur-
sors to support healthy levels of
growth hormone (GH) and
insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) along with neuromus-
cular optimization and cognitive enhancement. Mediated
by GH and IGF-1 enhancement, GHTX was formulated to
increase lean body mass and muscle power output,
promote anabolic intervention, and enhance rapid
recovery. GH is an anabolic protein hormone secreted
by the pituitary gland in thebrain and is responsible for
the overall growth of the body (e.g. muscles and bones),
fat breakdown, other metabolic effects, and maintaining
the immune system. GH stimulates the release of the
hormone IGF-1 by the liver. The secreted IGF-1 then
travels to tissues and is the key player in muscle growth.
Who Is It For? Beginning at age 20, GH levels
decline progressively and have been linked to many
age-related changes including decreases in lean body
mass, increases in abdominal body fat and thinning of
the skin. Optimizing the bodys naturally-occurring levels
of GH becomes paramount the more one ages. In order
to age gracefully, precautions must be taken in order to
maintain a healthy anti-aging regimen. GHTX provides
users with a natural boost to their own levels of GH.
Anyone over the age of 20 can take GHTX and it should
be considered a requirement for anyone over the age of

What is the best way to burn fat? How about ...
burn it 24 hours a day! Max Muscles Quadra Cuts System
was designed with the ingredients scientically shown to re
up your metabolism, get your body burning fat, suppress your
appetite, enhance your mood and leave you feeling energetic.
The best part is, we have a daytime formula and a nighttime
formula to turn your body into a 24/7 fat burning machine!
The Quadra Cuts System promotes fuel partitioning by
shifting the use of fat for fuel rather than for storage. So,
instead of storing fat on our stomach, hips or thighs we will
use the fat to give us energy while maintaining and even
improving our lean muscle. The ingredients contained in
the Quadra Cuts System promote the use of fat for energy.
Body composition (the ratio of fat to muscle on our body) is
greatly improved when fat burning is increased. So the end
result is less body fat and more muscle!
TRIPLE
THREAT
FAT
ATTACK

LipoRED is a targeted fat burner containing the most
powerful legal ingredients available in order to promote the
most efficient fat burning metabolism, elevate the bodys
thermogenic furnace, suppress appetite and provide intense
and extended energy. LipoRED was specifically designed to
attack deep fat stores through multiple pathways by stimulat-
ing both white and brown adipose tissues
. LipoRED is
targeted fat loss designed to help you quickly shred fat to
transform your body into peak physique. LipoRED is
available exclusively at Max Muscle Sports Nutrition.
A TARGETED
APPROACH TO
FAT BURNING
Quadra Cuts
Extreme
Quadra Cuts Extreme provides
caffeine in a time-released formula.
For people who are caffeine
sensitive, Quadra Cuts Extreme is a
JRRG RSWLRQ SURYLGLQJ D VWHDG\ RZ
of energy over several hours and
allowing you to continue enjoying
tea, coffee or other caffeinated
beverages. Caffeine is a proven
natural fat burner; 300 milligrams of
caffeine per day can help you burn
an additional 70 calories!
Quadra Cuts Extreme contains a
patented ingredient called Advantra
Z, an extract of a citrus fruit that
has shown to be effective in fat
breakdown, thermogenesis, appetite
control and ultimately in increasing
the ratio of lean muscle to total
body mass. While this ingredient
increases our metabolic rate helping
us burn more calories, it does this
without increasing our heart rate or
raising blood pressure!
Advantra Z has also shown to
improve athletic performance.
Green tea extract helps with the
breakdown of stubborn fat while
providing energy and a thermogenic
effect. L-Carnitine and Guarana
are included for fat burning. Cissus
Quadrangularis has shown in recent
studies to promote fat loss without
diet or exercise.
Quadra Cuts Extreme also
contains 500 mg of L-Arginine to
reduce fat mass and to enhance
lean tissue.
Quadra Cuts
Competition
Quadra Cuts Competition contains an Appetite
Management and Thermogenic Blend that includes
a synergistic mix of ingredients designed for fast
fat loss. Ingredients such as yohimbine, caffeine,
white willow bark and green tea extract promote
fat oxidation, breaking down stubborn stored fat to
be burned as fuel. These ingredients also provide
energy for the body and in addition to breaking
down fat they stimulate calorie burning, increasing
our metabolism.
Green tea extract contains a catechin called EGCG,
a powerful antioxidant, and has shown to lower the
risk of certain types of cancer. Caffeine and EGCG
have both shown positive results in overall fat loss in
obesity studies.
Synephrine supports increased metabolism and
also helps with appetite suppression. Slimaluma is
an extract from the caralluma mbriata plant and
has been used for centuries as a natural appetite
suppressant in India. Several human clinical trials
have proven its efcacy to suppress hunger, reduce
body weight and body fat, reduce body mass index
(BMI) and reduce waist and hip circumference.
Beta-Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a natural
stimulant supporting weight loss, appetite
suppression, positive mood and a sense of well being
without jitters or nervousness. Capsicum annum
fruit extract is a compound of cayenne pepper.
Capsicum, also known as capsaicin, is included
in Quadra Cuts Competition for its thermogenic
and appetite suppression qualities. Cultures with
a high consumption of cayenne pepper have
much lower rates of cardiovascular disease. When
taken internally, cayenne pepper provides many
cardiovascular benets. It has shown to reduce the
risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering blood
cholesterol and triglyceride levels, aids in digestion
and acts as an antioxidant.
Alpha lipoic acid is included and has been shown
to promote weight loss, improve insulin resistance,
and may have positive benets in metabolic
syndrome.
Quadra Cuts
Night-Time
Quadra Cuts Night-Time was created
to promote quality sleep and to
accelerate fat burning. Getting good
quality sleep is essential for weight
loss to occur.
L-Carnitine, 7-Keto, garcinia
cambogia and chromium all help
to promote fat burning during
sleep. L-Carnitine plays a major
role in energy metabolism. It is the
essential nutrient for the transport
of long-chain fatty acids to the
mitochondria to be used as energy.
L-Carnitine is absolutely essential
for all fat burning to take place in
the cells of the body. Some studies
show that oral supplementation of
L-Carnitine may reduce fat mass,
increase muscle mass and increase
energy levels. Studies also show that
high doses of L-Carnitine may be
tied to increased lipolysis in adipose
tissue (meaning increased burning
of stored fat).
7-Keto works naturally in the body
to increase thermogenic fat-burning
enzymes. Human clinical studies
show that 7-Keto increases weight
loss and fat burning compared to a
placebo.
Garcinia Cambogia has shown to
inhibit the enzyme that signals extra
carbohydrates to be stored as fat.
By blocking this message, Garcinia
encourages the body to burn
carbohydrates and create energy.
Garcinia has also shown to act as an
appetite suppressant.
Chromium is an essential trace
mineral that improves blood sugar
promoting an improved body
composition. It may help with
depression, and is used to lower
bad cholesterol and to improve
athletic performance. L-Theanine,
valerian root extract and melatonin
are also included for relaxation.
Burn fat 24 hours a day with the Quadra Cuts System! It is the ultimate 24/7
fat-burning system. Quadra Cuts Extreme and Quadra Cuts Competition provide
an effective daytime formula to rev up the metabolism, while Quadra Cuts Night-
Time provides restful sleep and super-charged fat burning all night. All containing

Garlic Benets for Fatigue
There have been more than 3,000 scientihc publications conhrming

the benehts of garlic for the prevention and treatment of a variety
of diseases, acknowledging and validating its
traditional uses. !n animal studies, garlic has
been shown to promote exercise endurance.
!n human studies, it has been conhrmed that
garlic produces symptomatic improvement
in persons with physical fatigue, systemic
fatigue due to cold or lassitude of indehnite
cause, suggesting that garlic can resolve
fatigue through a variety of actions.
Currently available data strongly suggest
that garlic may be a promising anti-fatigue
agent and that further studies to elucidate
its mechanisms are warranted. (Norihara

Interventions
Benets Aging
Muscles
It is well known that skeletal

muscle mass declines with age
resulting in muscle weakness and
functional limitations. The purpose
of this review was to highlight how
exercise and nutritional intervention
strategies may benet aging muscle.
It is well known that resistance
exercise training increases muscle
strength and size and evidence also
suggests that resistance training can
increase mitochondrial content and
decrease oxidative stress in older
adults. Recent ndings suggest that
fast-velocity resistance exercise may
be an effective intervention for older
adults to enhance muscle power
and functional capacity. In addition
to exercise, creatine monohydrate,
milk-based proteins and essential
fatty acids all have biological effects
which could enhance some of the
physiological adaptations from
exercise training in older adults.

A NEW ROLE FOR DAIRY
PROTEINS: DELIVERING
BIOACTIVE EGCG
POLYPHENOLS
This present study tested the ability of milk-derived casein

micelles to deliver biologically active concentrations of
polyphenols to colon cancer cells. Epigallocatechin gallate
(EGCG), the major catechin found in green tea, was used
as the model molecule, as it has been shown to have
anti-proliferative activity on colon cancer cells. Scientists
at the University of Guelph studied a specialized cell line of
colon cancer cells to determine the cytotoxicity and proliferation
behavior when exposed to free EGCG compared with that
of nanoencapsulated EGCG in casein micelles of skim
milk. Researchers found that the EGCG-casein complexes
were able to decrease the proliferation of cancer cells,
demonstrating that bioavailability may not be reduced by
the nanoencapsulation. Although more research is needed,
scientists concluded that milk products may be used as an
appropriate platform for delivery of bioactive compounds.
