Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found? If you really want to succeed online you must get yourself a copy of Commission Blueprint 2.0 created by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The tools alone are worth the cost alone. Best wishes!

Check the college catalog of where you want to go and see what they have it under.

..such as boxing. Besides protein and protein shakes. I heard NO-Xplode was good. Any thing else?

Muscle milk is what my hubby used and he didn’t gain the fat but now he is really lean…it also gave him lots of energy with out the drug effect….Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found?

I was told that when the blood sugar level is high it prevents fat burning mode because of the high level of sugar. If this is the case, why would people recommend these two types of drinks being that they reverse fat burning mode in the body?

although both of these have high sugar they both serve their purpose and when used at the right time will be very effective. sports drinks should be used in moderation due to the high sugar and the amount of calories. i would recommend drinking half a sports drink before a workout and the other half afterwards. this will replenish your electrolytes. your body needs sugar after a workout along with protein and carbs. the creatine is combined with sugar just for taste. there are plenty of products out there with just pure creatine monohydrate. i would recommend cutting out Sports Drinks though. there are many low calorie options that you can choose from.Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found?

Basically it is 5 days ketosis and 2 days carb up or a targeted ketosis diet.

How safe is the carb up phase for diabetics.
ketoacidosis is not ketosis per se.

Body Opus uses targeted days in ketosis followed by super carbing for two days to replace glocogen stores and using insulin to transport protiens into the muscle

5 days ketosis?? What exactly does that mean. If it’s anything like ketoacidosis then that can’t possibly be healthy for anyone especially a diabetic.
My son rows for his highschool and works out like a nut and he has diabetes. He justs adjusts his pump to compensate for the activity level.

Say I were to mostly just eat just pasta and some form of protein, like tofu or milk products, could I still get my missing nutrients efficiently through pills and supplements alone?

everyone’s body processes nutrients differently and has different needs and demands. the only way to know for sure is to try it out. if you feel sluggish, have dry hair or skin, get sick easily, or have other signs of a vitamin deficiency, go to a doctor to get a complete metabolic profile (its a blood test) and you can see what you are lacking in your diet. you may need shots such as vitamin b to fill the gaps.

This is for a paper I have to do. I am in graduate school. I will be teaching special ed. I have to do a research paper about education and something…. I was thinking health education or nutrition. But it needs to be like an issue or something "worth" researching according to the assignment. It doesnt have to be health but I am interested in it and I dont want to do the boring standby of inclusion.
Thanks Carmen for the link. I am looking at it now. But I don’t see the chapter.

what grade level are you teaching?

This is a chapter that I just read for my class. It has an extensive lesson plan on teaching nutrition for elem. and middle school age students. You could use it as a guide…
good luck…

Yeah its me im 14 and want to build muscle I play sports regularly and i strech before and after workouts what is safe to take I take protein shakes already what else can i take without harming myself too much

It won’t do you any good. All you need is a multivitamin. You don’t know how to properly work out yet; don’t even disagree with me and say you do…. I have been working out for longer than you have been alive and once you hit high school, maybe in a year or two, you should take creatine, protein, and a multivitamin.
Once you get a good base, then blow your money on supplements like that. You wont be harming yourself, it just may be considered useless. Take it from me kid, I have moved up in the world and moved up in bodybuilding…. I now use gear, along with some other supplements. Don’t even think about gear untill you are 21 or over.

I would like to know if this meal plan is good enough for a bodybuilder, in terms of what I eat and when I eat it. If I am taking too many carbs, or not enough protein let me know. Also let me know any general tips since this is just an example meal plan of what I ate today.

16 year old male, 195 pounds, looking to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. This is not the best example since I woke up at a late time today, but the time in between is generally the same. I’m trying my best to eat 5-6 small meals a day as well. Ask any other questions if you need. I really appreciate it. Thanks!

9:50 AM:

3 whole egg omelet with cheese
1 cup plain oatmeal with almonds
1 cup skim milk
1800 mg fish oil

12:40 PM:

160 grams or 5.6 ounces pork
1 whole wheat tortilla
2 tablespoons tzaziki sauce

3:20 PM:

3 mini cabbage rolls with beef inside and tomate sauce on it
1 slice whole wheat bread

5:20 PM:

1 slice whole wheat bread
1 banana
1/2 cup milk
1800mg fish oil

ALSO, how would this meal plan be for me as well. I haven’t tried it yet but it looks ok:

Breakfast:
Options:
3 eggs,1/4 cup nuts, milk
OR 2 scoops whey, 1 banana
OR 3 eggs, 1 cup oatmeal

Morning Snack:
Options: 1 cup low fat cottage cheese w 1 cup sliced peaches
OR 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup whey

Lunch: Options: 4 slices roast beef, 2 slices whole wheat bread, 1 cup broccoli
OR Turkey Sandwich, 1 cup broccoli

Afternoon Snack:
Options: 1 oz. mixed nuts
OR turkey w cheese
at 5:20 PM, it’s with peanut butter by the way.. about 2 tablespoons

First things first, if you are trying to be a bodybuilder, you MUST choose losing fat or gaining muscle. There is no good way to do both at the same time. If you want to gain muscle, eat 500 calories over maintenance, and if you want to lose fat, eat 500 under maintenance. If you want to lose fat, you will need to cut out the sugars (milk, sauces, fruits, etc), and your meals will need to contain protein and carbs OR protein and fat (but not all three).

You are on the right track, as those are good foods to eat. However, you should have some type of protein in every meal. The total should be at least 200g a day, or 40g per meal. Also, your timing is good. Eat up, train hard, best of luck, and email if you have more questions.

I need informations about how much nutriions an athlete from different sports need? like how much carbohidrat a swimmer would need, how much protein a basketball player needs, etc. it would help if you can give me some sources from the web.tx before

pasta for every one. that’s all i known other then the really obvious things
