Hey there, hope you’re having an awesome day!

Nowadays you hear so many bad things about high fructose corn syrup, that even Saturday Night Live came up with a sketch for it…

If you ask me, this skit is not far from the truth. If you take in too much High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), then you may start looking like the girl/guy thing at the end…

But the truth is, this goes for ALL sugars. Not just HFCS.

When you consume large amounts of added sweeteners—primarily in sodas and other sweetened drinks – you’re risking fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

The whole reason why is because our bodies weren’t designed to handle a large amount of fructose at a time…

I mean, back when we were cavemen, we would have never come across it in our food supply. If you look at what nature provided for humans to eat, we only had fructose in whole fruit, in amounts that are relatively dilute.

The real problems started coming when we learned how to turn foods—which contain fiber, water and other nutrients—into pure sources of sugars.

So overall, HFCS is not necessarily the problem. It’s more about the amount of sweet stuff that we consume that matters. Or, to put it another way, it’s the dose that is the problem.

Too much honey, agave syrup or dehydrated cane juice would likely cause the same health problems.

And just as a rule of thumb (and scary reminder).. The American Heart Association recently recommended that women consume no more than 100 calories a day in added sugars [6 teaspoons]; men, 150 calories [9 teaspoons],”… while our current intake, however, hovers around 355 calories per day!

So from now on, check your nutrition for added sugars and try to avoid it. Remember, your body is not designed to drink a whole can of coca-cola in one serving… and you don’t NEED sugar, you WANT sugar

See you guys soon,

One of the BIGGEST things that hold most people back in getting fit, is that they try too hard to look like ‘someone else’… like the people on tv, the billboards alongside the freeway, or for instance the ‘Victoria Secret’s’ models (who by the way have no life at all, barely eat, and are by no means con

sidered ‘healthy’). When you try to live up to what the media puts out there, you will nearly always be disappointed. Oftentimes what you see on tv or magazines is pretty much unrealistic (and dangerous not to

mention).

We’re here to tell you that it’s NOT about being skinny (besides, strong is the new skinny now ), it’s about being fit and living a healthy lifestyle. Now with ‘healthy’, we don’t mean eating 3 grains a day.

We’re talking more like, eating balanced meals/snacks, about 5-6 times a day. Food is energy and we measure it in the form of calories. If we don’t eat enough calories or the right foods for our bodies, we will lack the energy we need to not only go through our day but also get into better shape and feel great.

Kinda like your car, if you were to have a Ferrari you would NEVER put in the cheapest fuel. You would take care of it like it’s your baby, filling her up with premium.

Hey there. Victoria & Michael here with your favorite bootcamp, hope you’re having a killer day so far.

If you ask us, there are 2 big ‘secrets’ to success. Whether it comes to weight loss, getting in shape, or just life in general:

-1- See your desired outcome in your head, before you even achieve it (‘visualize’ it)

-2- Take massive action & Be willing to LEAVE your comfort zone.

Get uncomfortable, like, every day.

This may sound a little woo-woo, but your body & brain want just one thing, and that is to SURVIVE.

So whenever you do something you’re not used to… anything that’s not a habit… you’re practically forcing change upon yourself.

But because you brain & body want to stay in homeostasis, your instincts will have you want to resist any type of change. THIS is why success is not for everyone, you have to plow through some discomfort to get to where you want to be… that’s just how it is.

So if you’re one of our bootcamp rockstars, or you’re an avid reader of this blog, try getting ‘uncomfortable’ more often.

Getting uncomfortable is one of the BEST exercises you can do to ensure you’re always moving forward.

As Rocky Balboa said in his last Rocky movie: “The world ain’t all sunshine & rainbows, it will keep you down on your knees if you let it. NOBODY is gonna hit you as hard as life, but it’s not how hard you hit that counts, it’s how much you can GET hit and keep moving forward, how much you can TAKE, and keep moving forward, THAT’S how winning is done!”

Now there are a million ways to get ‘uncomfortable’ every day. It can be to talk to one stranger every day… or set as goal to do 50 pushups every morning upon waking …

Whatever it is, check out this video to see what Victoria did..

Yooooo super duper, tone and firm ROCKstars, Victoria here! First off I want to tell you all that you are doing an amazing job. I was just at the boot camp location in Norwalk last night and it was sooo nice to see everyone there. Both me and Michael are so proud of you. You WILL reach your dream body in no time, if you keep doing what you’re doing (following our nutrition guidelines and coming into boot camp at least 3-4 times a week); Which is something I know that we can all do and make the time to fit into our busy schedules.

Remember, “Everyone falls. Champions get back up!” Continue Reading Muffins that are GOOD for you
