What's Hot: Neuro Drinks

Whenever I think about sports performance drinks, Vitaminwater is always one of the first brands to pop into my head. I love the stuff, especially the zero-cal version. Interestingly though, just a few years ago Vitaminwater was a relatively unknown brand that was giving out free samples just to gain visibility and acceptance. Look how much it's exploded since then...it's already entered the top-5 selling sports performance drinks worldwide. Lets be serious, you know you're popular as hell when you're using The Situation in your commercials (if you haven't seen it yet click to watch the commercial here). Looking back at Vitaminwater's ascension to the top of the sports drink world, its one of those things that you look at and tell yourself: "man, why didn't I jump on board sooner."


With Vitaminwater's explosion in mind, I think I've found the next HUGE drink on the market. If you've never had a Neuro, or don't know what Neuro is, keep listening. This stuff is going to blow up, and it's going to blow up in a big, big way.

Neuro Drinks is a new line of low-calorie, lightly carbonated, functional drinks that serve to elicit a wide range of effects, including heightened mental functioning, sexual performance, and better sleep. I LOVEEEEEE me some Neuro. Not only are there only 35 calories per bottle, but the stuff tastes incredible with only a minimal amount of added sugar. More importantly, Neuro works for each of its intended functions. I can't think of another product that so perfectly blends low calories, amazing and unique taste, and such powerful functional performance...it's pretty magical. Neuro's cool, really different and unique from other drinks available, and the bottle's straight up awesome. The fact that they're using JT, Amanda Beard, and Lady Gaga to embody the essence of their brand is just too cool, literally. 

Neuro currently comes in 7 flavors, each of which has its own unique blend of scientifically-backed ingredients to produce a very different functional benefit. The flavors include: Bliss, Gasm, Sonic, Aqua, Sport, Sleep, and Trim.

• NeuroBliss: Bliss does what it's name says...it promotes happiness, relaxation, and stress reduction. It contains hydroxytryptophan (tryptophan's in turkey, which is why eating it at Thanksgiving always makes you drowsy) and L-theanine, amino acids that promote relaxation and a calm feeling. I've used Bliss before big presentations to chill out and relax, it's definitely helped me present in a more calm, more controlled way.
• NeuroGasm: Gasm promotes better sexual health, but it also supports better circulation and blood flow. In effect, Gasm is basically a less intense pre-workout drink. It has l-arginine, l-citrulline, and l-norvaline which all enhance blood flow, as well as caffeine and l-carnitine to boost energy levels. Carnitine also increases lipolysis, which helps your body burn more calories from fat. Gasm's a great option before a killer workout to increase strength and endurance. Oh yeah, it's good before sex too...can someone say liquid viagra? Stuff works well. 
• NeuroSonic: Sonic is probably my favorite Neuro, it's so functional and works incredibly well. It's intended to boost memory, concentration, cognitive performance, and attention. Sonic contains taurine, caffeine, carnitine, and theanine for enhanced mental function, as well as resveratrol for heart health (it's one of the antioxidants in wine). It's basically a less intense energy drink, but with the same effects and no crash. I've used Sonic a lot to study for tests, to enhance focus during a workout, or just as a pick-me-up...it's powerful and puts you IN THE ZONE. It really makes you feel incredible. 
• NeuroSleep: Sleep promotes better sleep quality. In my experience, Sleep knocks you the hell out and you stay out. Sleep contains magnesium, hydroxytryptophan, theanine, and melatonin--four powerful ingredients that increase relaxation, sleep quality, and normalize sleep cycles. If you're having problem sleeping, NeuroSleep is definitely worth a shot.
• NeuroTrim: Trim is designed as a solution for healthy weight loss. It works by significantly curbing appetite, revving up metabolism, blocking the absorption of sugar into fat cells, and increasing the usage of body fat for energy. Drinking Trim before meals is a great way to reduce the amount of calories you eat.
• NeuroAqua: I've never had Aqua, so I can't comment on its flavor, but for the most part it seems like purified water.
• NeuroSport: Sport is Neuro's version of Gatorade. Sport has the ideal level of sugar for an intra-workout drink, plus it contains the electrolytes calcium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, and potassium, which help support healthy fluid balance and hydration. Interestingly, Sport also has calcium which can help increase the strength of muscle contractions. Sport's great for anyone who participates in athletics and wants that extra burst of energy, an extra bit of strength, or the hydration to keep you going and going. 

Whether you're trying to get pumped up for a kickass workout, studying endlessly for a test, trying to get a good nights sleep,  or just want a delcious, low-cal drink, Neuro is the way to go. Go pick up a Neuro and join the phenomenon that's about to hit the nation, if not the world, hard.

Do You REALLY Know What You're Eating At These Popular Restaurants??

It's pretty amazing how little people know about what they're eating at fast food places, chain restaurants, and other popular places to eat. Although certain restaurants have started to list calorie counts on their menus, the majority keep all of their nutritional info a well-kept secret. Honestly, if restaurants were required to list calories, fat, trans fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium next to each menu item, I really think most of them would be out of business. So many of the foods Americans buy from restaurants are ridiculously awful for you...and the sad part is that they probably wouldn't eat them if they were aware of what the hell was in them. A large popcorn at AMC/Loews has 1,160 calories, 60 grams of fat, and over 1,500mg of sodium. Really...we're eating that? Might as well rename it heart attack in a tub. Here's a list of the worst foods I've seen at popular restaurants and other places. It might surprise you. 

Starbucks - Thought coffee was harmless? Eh...not so much. Instead of coffee you're basically getting a fat-filled, sugary dessert. 


Adding Whipped Cream: 70 calories, 7g fat
Grande White Hot Chocolate: 490 calories, 19g fat
Grande Caffe Mocha: 330 calories, 15g fat
Iced Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha: 520 calories, 20g fat
Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino: 640 calories, 22g fat (34% DV), 100g carbs


PF Chang's China Bistro - Chinese food is notorious for obnoxiously high levels of sodium, PF Chang's isn't any exception. The seared ahi tuna appetizer has 860 mg of sodium...are you kidding me??? That's over 1/3 of your total daily intake in a 160 calorie appetizer! And tuna's supposed to be healthy...

Fast Food Restaurants - I've scoured the fast food kingdom to come up with the collective list of the worst foods from America's most unhealthy restaurants. I don't even know why they're called restaurants at this point. Sooooo much fat, trans fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium...it's out of control. Keep in mind there's NO daily value for trans fat, even .10g can have a significant impact on your heart health and cholesterol levels. Imagine what 10g from 3 White Castle mozzarella sticks is gonna do.


McDonald's
Angus Bacon & Cheese Deluxe Cheeseburger: 790 calories, 39g fat, 17g sat fat, 2g trans fat, 2070mg sodium
12 oz. McFlurry w. M&Ms: 710 calories, 25g fat, 16g sat fat, 1g trans fat, 97g sugar!!

Hopefully you got a sense for just how bad the food at most chain restaurants and fast food places really is. The fact that ONE meal can have over a days worth of fat, saturated fat, and sodium is absolutely absurd. Try your best to stay away from these places as much as possible, most of the food available is a bad bet.

The Best Oblique Workout to Get Ripped Up Abs

If you're looking to build up your obliques or get that sexy, deep v-cut, start adding these three exercises into your ab routine. Often times people focus primarily on the rectus abdominis, aka the 6-pack muscles, but they totally neglect the obliques. Because they lack an emphasis on their obliques they develop a core that's imbalanced and looks like it lacks width. 

What's great about the combination of these three exercises is that they use a variety of angles, motions, and contractions to really shock your core into new growth. I guarantee that if you start doing these exercises regularly, on top of following a healthy, nutritious diet, you'll start seeing a shredded, powerful pair of obliques begin to develop.

Exercise 1 - Weighted Oblique Static Holds

Lay on one side of your body and slowly crunch your legs and torso towards each other. Really squeeze your side/obliques. At the peak contraction point, or the point where you're squeezing the hardest, hold it there for 45 seconds. Don't worry if you're unable to get 45 seconds right away, hold it for as long as you can and slowly build up to 45 seconds over time. Repeat for the other side.

Once you're able to do 45 seconds comfortably, add a light dumbbell between your feet. Start with 5 pounds and continue to progress as it gets easier and easier.

Easy - No weight, hold for 45 seconds

Medium - 5 pound dumbbell, hold for 45 seconds

Hard - 10 pound dumbbell, hold for 45 seconds

Pro - 12 pound dumbbell, hold for 60 seconds

Exercise 2 - Side Planks With Knee Pull

Start by propping your body up on one arm, while raising the other arm straight up in the air. By raising the opposite arm you're stretching out and isolating the obliques. Stagger your feet so that the top foot is on top/in front of your bottom foot. While keeping your body perfectly straight, bring your bottom foot as far into your chest as possible. Hold your knee in your chest for 1 second and repeat the motion.

Do 15 reps per side, or as many as you can. Make sure to keep your body straight!!! As this starts to get too easy try to hold your knee into your chest for longer than 1 second. 

Easy - 10 reps per side, hold for .5 second

Medium - 15 reps per side, hold for .5 second

Hard - 15 reps per side, hold for 1 second

Pro - 15 reps per side, hold for 2 seconds

Exercise 3 - Decline Russian Twists


Find an ab bench and set it to a 45 degree decline. Lean back, tighten your core, and make sure to maintain good posture. Don't arch your back!! A great way to check your form is to puff out your chest and squeeze your lower back. Once in position extend your arms straight out in front of you and slowly rotate back and forth from the left to the right.  


Aim for a total of 20 twists. Once this gets too easy, make it harder by holding a weight plate or medicine ball in your hand.


Easy - 10 twists, no weight
Medium - 20 twists, no weight
Hard - 20 twists, 10 pounds
Pro - 20 twists, 20 pounds

Product Spotlight: Naturally More Peanut Butter

If I were ever to have a love affair with a food, I think Naturally More would probably be one of my top choices. This stuff is HOT baby!

Choosing a healthy, but delicious peanut butter is a really sticky topic. Most processed PBs like JIF and Skippy are loaded with added sugars and partially hydrogenated oils (aka trans fats), but they taste ridiculously good and are easy to spread. Adding all that crap is a great way to turn an extremely heart-healthy food into a dessert. On the other hand, If you're trying to be healthy and go for the natural kind you often have to deal with an oily mess that doesn't taste all that great. What's a PB connoisseur supposed to do? 

BAM...enter Naturally More. Not only is this stuff uber healthy, even more so than completely natural PB, it's probably the best tasting PB I've ever tried...even better than the sugary, processed brands.

Normally, PB is a fantastic source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber (complements of the peanuts). Naturally More takes heart health to a new level by adding in my favorite food...dun dun dun...flaxseeds! (If you don't know much about flaxseeds or why I absolutely love them you can check out my post about them here). Flaxseeds contribute high fiber content, disease-fighting antioxidants, and really high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids--fatty acids that lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), and lower blood pressure. They're best known for their high levels in salmon and oily fish.

I also love how egg whites and wheat germ are a part of the ingredient blend. What a unique combo. The egg whites bump up the protein content to 10g per serving!! That's almost double the amount of protein in typical peanut butter brands. Additionally, wheat germ provides over 50% of the DV for folic acid, which is critical to new cell development and growth. 

All in all Naturally More is as good as it's gonna get when it comes to peanut butter. Not only does it have powerful omega-3s + 6s, antioxidants, fiber, folic acid, and a ton of muscle building protein, but it also tastes awesome. It's got a hearty, smooth, lightly sweet taste with a delicate crunch. It's pretty much perfection in a jar.

If there was one problem with Naturally More it would be that it's a little tricky to find. Some supermarkets carry it and others don't, I really can't figure it out. Look in the PB aisle of random supermarkets and you'll find it eventually. If you happen to come across it magically, take it as a sign from me and pick up a jar. 

Is Caffeine Healthy? Let The Debate Begin...

Is caffeine really healthy? That question has been asked a trillion, gazillion times, yet I still don't believe that the debate is anywhere near settled. On one side you have the group of people who live off of coffee and other caffeinated beverages. Coffee, red bull, and other energy drinks are their way of staying alert, getting through the day, and being as productive as possible. Over 80% of Americans drink at least one cup of coffee daily, it must be doing something magical...


On the other end you have the people who are adamantly against caffeine and swear that it does nothing but harm to the body. Who would want to drink something that raises heart rate, causes anxiety, and makes it hard to fall asleep? Who's really right? Well, truthfully...neither...the answer falls somewhere in the middle.


You're probably sick of hearing this, but the solution is moderation. Moderation seems to be the solution to everything, huh?


What is caffeine, how does it work, and what does it do? Caffeine is a stimulant that occurs naturally in a variety of plants such as coffee beans, tea leaves, and cocoa beans. Caffeine functions by inhibiting a substance in the body known as adenosine. Adenosine plays a major role in energy transfer, but it also functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter that suppresses the central nervous system (CNS). When adenosine binds to adenosine receptors in the brain it causes nerve cell activity to slow, which ultimately causes the body to slow down and become drowsy. For every hour the body is awake, more and more adenosine builds up in the bloodstream, the body gets sleepier, and eventually it gets so tired that it has to fall asleep.


Drinking caffeine is sort of like running a covert, spy operation. Caffeine is able to effectively impersonate adenosine, which tricks nerve cells into thinking that it's actually the latter. This totally throws the body off. Whenever you drink a caffeinated beverage the caffeine enters adenosine receptors, but instead of slowing down cellular activity like adenosine would do normally, the presence of caffeine actually speeds it up! It's a double-whammy of boosted energy. As a result the CNS functions at a heightened level, the mind becomes more alert and sharp, and the body begins to undergo a major physiological transformation. Another interesting effect of caffeine consumption is that it increases the body's level of adrenaline (aka epinephrine). When the pituitary gland senses the abnormally high level of cellular activity it assumes that some sort of emergency is happening. As a result the pituitary gland sets off the "fight-or-flight" response, which sets off a chain reaction of physiological changes 


Caffeine also releases dopamine. The release of dopamine stimulates the brain, which enhances pleasure, alertness, and problem solving ability. 

How does all of that impact YOU? Research and studies have been conducted over and over to examine the effects of caffeine on cognitive and physical performance, as well as human health. There's no doubt that caffeine consumption can play a major role in enhancing physical and mental performance, as well as helping the body burn calories and slim-down, but it does have its drawbacks.


The Good

• Caffeine increases mental alertness, cognitive ability, pleasure, and problem solving capacity.  
• Caffeine can decrease vascular headaches (caffeine constricts blood vessels in the brain, which can stunt the pain).
• Caffeine speeds up heart rate, which boosts metabolism and creates a thermogenic effect. Caffeine causes the body to burn excess calories, which is beneficial for anyone trying to lose weight.
• Caffeine breaks down stored fatty acids and releases them into the bloodstream for use in energy pathways. Lower body fat, yes please.
• Caffeine opens up breathing tubes, which is really beneficial for asthma patients. Caffeine's release of epinephrine is similar to what happens when someone gets injected by an epi-pen.  
• Because adenosine is inhibited by caffeine, larger amounts of calcium are released into the muscles. Calcium is required for muscular contraction. More calcium = stronger contractions = increased physical power and muscular strength = muscle growth = yada yada yada, you get the point. Increased calcium release also improves speed, endurance, and acceleration.
• Consumption of caffeine has been shown to decrease the risk of Parkinson's disease.

The Bad

• Caffeine can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure. Although this is a negative effect, research and studies have shown that drinking coffee daily doesn't boost the risk of heart disease. In fact, a recent study done by Brooklyn College found that men who drank 4 cups of coffee per day had a 53% lower chance of developing heart disease than those who never drank coffee. This is most likely due to the high antioxidant content in coffee beans, but it's still promising that caffeine consumption has been linked to positive heart health. I would only worry about the blood pressure increase if you have hypertension or are at high risk for hypertension/high blood pressure.
• Caffeine is a diuretic, which causes the body to lose water. This can lead to dehydration. If you drink caffeine make sure to drink plenty of fluids.
• Drinking caffeinated drinks too often can cause addiction-like effects. If you drink a lot of caffeine you can become dependent on it's effects, which can cause cognitive haziness, a decrease in performance, and bad headaches if you ever stop using it.
• Caffeine can cause excessive sweating and hyperactivity.
• Caffeine makes it hard to fall asleep. Limit it before bedtime. 
• The flight-or-fight reaction releases adrenaline and cortisol. The release of these hormones causes the liver to release sugar into the blood, which signals the body to store body fat and can even lead to diabetes. In order to minimize this factor, try to avoid all caffeinated beverages that have added sugar. Coffee without sugar or low-carb/sugar energy drinks are the way to go. Also try to consume caffeinated beverages with a meal/snack.

Caffeine clearly has a collection of benefits useful to pretty much anyone...that's why so many people use it. It enhances cognitive and athletic performance, increases alertness, creates stronger muscular contractions, and even burns calories and body fat when you're not exercising. That's an attractive concoction of benefits. Although it can have side effects such as elevating heart rate, dehydration, and restlessness, these side effects can easily be negated by staying well hydrated and avoiding caffeine around bed time. What's even more promising is that research has shown that drinking coffee can have a positive impact on heart health. 


Caffeine can definitely be a part of any healthy diet, just remember the key word: moderation. If you remember moderation caffeine can be a staple in your every day routine.

Protein Shake Recipe: The Peanut Butter Power Protein Shake

One of my favorite things about homemade protein shakes is that you can customize them in pretty much any way you want. Chocolate/vanilla whey protein powder can serve as a base for thousands of different smoothie combinations, all with a nice shot of muscle-building protein and amino acids. Oh yeaaaaaaaah.


I recently came up with one of the most ridiculously phenomenal shakes I've ever made. It's freaking delicious and healthy as hell (what's better than delicious and healthy??). It's loaded with high quality protein, fiber and complex carbs, antioxidants, potassium, vitamin B6 + C, and heart-healthy mono/polyunsaturated fats. Bam, look at all that health! That's a pretty complete shake. If you love peanut butter and chocolate, you're definitely gonna go nuts for this shake. It tastes better than a liquified Reese's cup, only 1000x healthier. 


It takes all of...I don't know...two minutes to make and all you need are a few simple ingredients that you probably have lying around the house:

• 1 scoop Chocolate Whey -- I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey or Cytosport 100% Whey, both have nice amino acid profiles and are low in fat. In my opinion they're the highest quality, best tasting wheys I've tried. Plus they're really good values. I got a 6lb bag of Cytosport whey at Costco for $23!! I haven't been able to find that price anywhere else though. Optimum usually runs about $38-$43 for a 5lb tub. Well worth the price.
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter -- I use Naturally More PB. It's the best tasting peanut butter I've ever tried and it has really high omega-3 content from flaxseeds (4.1g!). It also packs 10g's of protein per serving, it's lower in calories than other PB brands (~170 cals per 2 tbsp. as opposed to ~200 cals per 2tbsp), and it has a nice dosage of fiber.
• 1/2 banana
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1/4 cup quaker oats
• 2 ice cubes

Do You Know What's In Your Chicken Nuggets?

I've always been anti-fast food but I think this picture probably takes that hatred to an all new level. Any idea what that pink sludge is? It's what makes up the processed chicken products they sell at McDonalds and BK (think Chicken McNuggets).


I think my stomach is actually getting more upset the longer I stare at this picture.


I don't get how this stuff makes its way into our mouthes. Get this, it has so much bacteria that they actually have to wash it with ammonia! That's what's in clorox or whatever else you clean your toilet with. I'm pretty sure it has to be toxic. To make it worst they artificially flavor and color it so that it somewhat resembles food. Where the hell is the FDA? If it somehow passes health standards that's just ridiculous.


Remember that picture the next time you think about getting Chicken McNuggets. Please god...order something else. Anything but the pink pudding.
