Limitless

The weekend is almost here, which is the most celebrated time for most people. Some people enjoy their weekends by going out; some enjoy the quiet and serenity by staying in and relaxing. Whatever you choose to do during the weekend, I hope that you enjoy it and make the most of it. For those of you movie fans out there, I have suggestion for you. Watch the movie Limitless. Not sure if you’ve seen it or not, but it’s a great movie and it makes you think.



The premise of the movie is that there is a pill that lets you access 100 percent of your brain cells, making you extremely smart. You can do anything, get any guy/girl you like, learn any language in a day, become a millionaire, and basically do anything you choose. The world is yours for the taking. But there is a catch.....Which of course is death, and an extremely quick death.

Since this is the age of pills and quick fixes, I thought that this movie was excellent way to demonstrate our society and our way of thinking. Any and all of the pills on the market right now have negative side effects, death being one of them, and yet many people take these pills without a second thought.

If you have 2 hours this weekend, watch this movie. After watching it, ask yourself, would you take that pill? Or any other pill for that matter?

Surround Yourself With People You Admire

Take a look around the people you surround yourself with. Many say that you should surround yourself with positive, successful people so that that you can always learn from them and become a successful, positive person as well. However if you are surrounded by negative people see what you can learn from them as well. Why do they affect you? What lesson do they have to teach you? It all comes back to you. Your reaction to that individual is what dictates the positive or negative situation.
If a negative person in your life does things that always put you down and belittle you then the best thing to do is separate yourself from that relationship. Do so after figuring out the questions asked above.
From every encounter every situation their must be a lesson learned.

To sum up: learn from everyone and everything, surround your self with like minded positive people.

Nutrition Seminar VIDEOS

I finally figured out how to upload my videos...with a little help of course. Watch the videos and try to benefit from everything that I discussed. There are a couple of points that I stressed over and over and over and over again.....That is because they are important.

Those points were:

• Learning to listen to your own body, and start interpreting what it means.
• Power of positive thinking
• Incorporating diet into a lifestyle
• Looking for nutritional value in food versus calories
• Rest, meditation and yoga

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting is currently the new health craze. I read a fantastic Ebook on the subject and I will post the link below so that you guys can check it out. This is a free Ebook, and yet at the same time, it’s worth 100,000 dollars.
Why did I give it such a high price especially since it’s free? Is it that effective?
The reason why I enjoyed this book so much is: A) it’s a quick read. So this is the perfect solution for those of you who don’t like to read, or don’t have the time.
B) It is very easily understood. It uses simple terms and flows so easily that it makes you want to keep reading. And finally, the most important reason: C) The way that everything was recorded was extremely detailed. The author of the research is a scientist, and he uses himself to test out different diet crazes. Talk about self sacrifice for a greater cause. He is extremely unbiased and records everything that he encounters, whether it’s positive or negative.
**His approach to finding and handling a problem was the most fascinating. As he only changed one variable at a given time (usually 2 weeks) and studied how his body reacted to it.** This is extremely important for anyone who is trying to get any results.
Let’s use weight loss as the goal that we are trying to reach. Since most people are so eager to get started, especially if it’s a New Year’s resolution, they tackle it full force. This is great if it works and continues to work but sadly most of the time it does not. What they do is they change their diet (or at least I hope they do), they may start a supplement program, and start exercising. Which is all good and great, these are the basics of getting to your goal. But what happens if, after doing all of that, they don’t get any results. What to do next? They have no idea whether it’s their diet that’s bad, if the supplements they are taking are a total waste of money, or the exercise program is boring, stale and is not producing any results because it is the total opposite of what their body needs. To avoid running into this problem, first and foremost, READ THIS EBOOK. As I mentioned before you will feel like you have found 100,000 dollars. And, most importantly, make sure you always work with a professional that can help you with whatever your goals are.

Enjoy the read. And make sure that you apply the knowledge.

The Sweet Smell of Success.....

So I hosted my second nutritional seminar today.

Besides the fact that it was 65 degrees outside, which is unheard of in January, I had a good turnout of about 40 people. I want to thank everyone who attended the seminar, and hope that you were able to learn something from it. For those of you who were not able to make it, I had Tito video tape the seminar so you can thank him for it (he said tips are greatly appreciated), and I will post the videos as soon as I figure out how to upload them on the web. They should be there in the next few blogs that follow, so stay tuned. For those that came, I highly recommend you watch it again, because I'm sure you will get more information out of it the second time around.

We also had a weight lifting clinic with coach Vlad that followed, and everyone that attended was extremely happy with how their form was improving.

Overall, it was a very good and successful day.

We still have a couple of spots open for the Paleo/ Alpo challenge, so if you did not sign up you still have a chance to do so. I will be keeping everyone posted as to when we will begin. Next week I will coordinate the time with all of you to make sure that it works for all of us.

For those that did not make it to the seminar, and would still like to sign up for the challenge, feel free to contact me.

Nutrition seminar

I’m quite excited for Saturday, because I will be teaching my second nutrition seminar.
When I taught my first one over a year ago, I had anticipated being nervous, but to my surprise, I was not nervous at all. I had always hated getting up in front of people and speaking it did not happen on that day, I actually enjoyed it.
One of my best friend’s fathers always told me that if you are quite passionate about something, then all the fear dissipates. That was when I realized that this lifestyle of health, fitness, happiness, and vitality is for me. Now why did it take me so long to host another seminar? All of my reasons turned out to be just excuses. Every one of us has fears. Those fears are rationalized to us by our own excuses. Well its 2012, and my excuses and my fears are being subdued by a greater need. That is the need to share my knowledge and to help more people. This revelation was made to me by one of my friends, Sonia, who also happens to be my client. Thank you for that.

Even though I have not hosted a seminar in a year, I am still a year wiser. I have acquired another years worth of knowledge, as well as how to relay it to people so that it’s more easily understood.

This seminar will open your eyes, ears, and maybe even hearts to a better lifestyle. I will be discussing how to reach your goals and also how to make yourself grow as an individual in everyday life. I would like to invite anyone and everyone who is interested in nutrition, health and fitness, to come and join me on January 7th. Click here to get more details.

ATTENTION: as a special bonus we will have an Olympic Weightlifting coach running a free clinic right after the seminar, so bring your work out gear and enjoy the class.

Make a Decision

When we feel overwhelmed and are confused about what to do, sometimes we do nothing.





I want to start off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year. I hope that everyone had a fun and safe celebration. On January 1st my plans were to go snowboarding with my friends. Those plans fell through due to extremely warm weather.
I had nothing to do that day so I decided to capitalize on the opportunity. Since my new year’s resolution is to grow my business (one of many resolutions that will get accomplished this year) I knew that I needed to get organized and make a great plan for success. I had read many books by successful individuals who always made it a point to say that the first step of any business is to have a plan and to be organized. I had always skipped the first step of organization because well.... many reasons. I guess one of them being that I thought I knew better.
I’m very happy to say that I made great use of my time since my plans fell through. I organized my files, my books, my folders and my room. Now I feel like I can be more efficient. It’s a brand new year and because my working space is now well organized, it actually makes me want to do the work that I usually consider busy work and do not like.

THE LESSON THAT I LEARNED from this is: always follow the advice of people that have done what you are trying to do. And don't skip any crucial step. That lesson can be applied to more than just business. It can be applied to a workout program, nutrition program, even driving a car.

My Promise to myself is to keep my room and workspace clean for the rest of the year. That is a huge commitment on my part because I haven’t done it in previous years. But this time I have you guys to keep me honest. I will update you on the status of my organization every month.
