The Tweet Tank. A Product Review

November 5th, 2009 | Product Reviews, Twitter | No Comments »

If you would like the ability to tweet to your followers on twitter,
around the clock, and effortlessly run multiple twitter accounts
at the push of a  button, then do press on.

After looking at the first of six free video’s, I brought The Tweet
Tank  membership
and have not looked back or regretted making
the purchase. I fact I learnt more about using twitter as an affiliate
from the free video series, than from any other source.

Before The Tweet Tank Using
Twitter Was Time Consuming

Once you sign in everything is easily accessed with the push of your
mouse and you even get an extra two more video’s along with there
auto follow script and an ebook describing in detail how to make
money via twitter
  and turn it into  your marketing centerpiece.

The tweet tank not only gives you the ability to run multiple twitter
accounts with ease, but it adds and removes your followers within the
parameters you have setup, automatically.

 

It’s Not The Holy Grail
For Twitter Marketing

While The Tweet Tank is not the end all and be all of twitter, it sure
does help in turning a time consuming marketing must have, into a
hands off approach. It only took me about half an hour too set up
and that was because I opened another twitter account during this.
This account has gone from zero to 200 followers within the last 4
days, without me needing to add people manually. Of course this
option is available if you so wish.

The 5 Vegetarian Weight Loss Mistakes Caused By Advertisers

Naturally, when most people think of vegetarian foods and weight
loss, they think of men and women eating healthy meals with plenty
of energy to spare.

But, what most people don’t realize is there are a number
of these so-called “health foods” that vegetarians are
regularly consuming that aren’t just unhealthy, but
lead to weight gain, and I’m not talking muscle.

Over the years I’ve made many mistakes when it comes to eating
healthy on a vegetarian diet and so I thought I would share with
you some of the lessons I’ve learned.  This way, only one of us has
to make the vegetarian blunders. 

With that being said, here are the 5 biggest weight loss dieting
mistakes people make when switching to vegetarian meal plans:

1.  Eating “health food bars” and protein bars as a healthy
snack alternative or as a meal replacement.

This one is a biggie.  These bars are loaded with junk binders and
fillers with very little nutritional value.  Unfortunately, many
people believe the advertising and so think they are eating a
healthy substitute.  My advice, read the labels before you eat
them.  If nothing else, skip the bars altogether and have fresh
fruit instead.

2.  Falling for the convincing advertising that energy
pills, energy drinks, or anything labelling itself as
“thermogenic” will lead to fat loss.

While you’ll get a two hour burst of “mania”, the incredibly large
dosage of caffeine in these products will bring your “high” to a
crashing halt that often lingers for two to four hours.

Tip: avoid these ingredients: taurine, guarana, caffeine

Truth be told, energy products do NOT accelerate fat loss and
none of them even work to curb your appetite.

So, do yourself a favour; skip the energy roller coaster and
avoid every energy product that contains either sugar or
caffeine.

3.  Thinking there is a magic cereal diet.

There isn’t one.  In fact, most recently a popular women’s magazine
was glorifying a particular cereal as the breakfast of choice for those
wanting to lose fat. Shame on them!

What they don’t tell you is that many of these cereals contain way
too much sugar and refined carbs, little-to-no protein, a small
amount of fibre, and worst of all, fat derived from hydrogenated
oils.

With that being said, if you really want to lose fat, then whatever
you do, avoid processed grains and do NOT eat cereal in place of
real food.

4.  Wasting money on bodybuilding supplements

Why spend your hard-earned money on a product that is really
just processed milk?  Simply put, you don’t need the junk that is
advertised in bodybuilding supplement magazines.  You can
avoid them and still lose fat and build a better body.

5.  The misconception that low-fat products are your
best bet for fat loss

Again, those advertisers are real sneaky I tell you!  But here is
something they don’t tell you; the only way to make these low-
fat foods taste worthwhile is by pumping them full of sugar. 

Sugar causes a number of potentially damaging side effects to
your body, but the most visible nasty side effect is the fat that
is stored right on your belly and thighs.

Tip:  I recommend consuming no more than 6-9 grams of sugar
per sitting.  Just be careful of the nutritional label as it might
indicate 6 grams/1 cup serving, while you’re eating 2 cups and
oops, you just consumed 12-18 grams of sugar!

So, those are 5 of the biggest mistakes made by those switching
over to the vegetarian lifestyle.  If you follow those guidelines
you’ll be well on your way to a healthy vegetarian fat loss diet.

Vegetarian Travel Nutrition Tip

unisex-vegetarian-meal-plansFor many of
us traveling,
it means skipping
workouts, eating
processed foods,
and generally
feeling guilty and frustrated because
our commitment
to a healthy lifestyle
 has temporarily
gone by the wayside.

 

But with a little effort and following some quick and easy tips I’ll
share with you, you’ll never have to resort to the over-priced,
high-calorie food options that are prevalent in airports.

But first, did you know that when you’re at the airport you can
actually take your own food through the security check?  Most
people don’t know this, but as long as it isn’t liquid, gels, or gooey
stuff over 3 oz. then you’re in the clear.

Okay, so you know that preparation is the key for anyone looking
to lose weight and stay fit.  Well, this is especially the case when a
last minute road trip unexpectedly arises. 

So, with that in mind, here are some healthy food options suitable
as snacks, breakfast, or dinner, that you can easily put together.

1.   Grab all the veggies you have in the refrigerator and combine
them to make one big tasty salad. 

2.   Pack 2-4 healthy nut bars.  My favourite is the RAW bar.

3.   Cut up fresh celery, carrots, and cucumbers – it’s quick and
it’s easy.

4.   Add a few pieces of fruit to your “lunch pack”.

5.   Nuts are another excellent snack option.

6.   Seaweed snacks.  These delicious treats are sure to draw
some wandering eyes as people try to figure out just what the
heck it is you’re eating.

7.   And lastly, pack a bag of flax crackers.

If you can put just 10 minutes into preparing some snacks for
your trip, you’ll feel so much better later on when everyone else
is stuffing their face with high fattening foods and you’re sticking
to you healthy diet. 

Even if it’s just some healthy snacks to tie you over while waiting at
the airport, this plan with help you eat healthier and avoid the junk
you know is bad for you.


Easy Veggie Meal Plans

Review of Easy Veggie Meal Plans

“You won’t get enough protein on a vegetarian
diet”, or so they say.  Well, I tested that theory
out first hand.  You see,  for the longest time I subscribed to the pro-meat eating ideology. 

Well that all changed when one day I took a bite
out of a raw hamburger and became so violently
ill that once I finally managed to recover I was
so turned off by meat that I began searching for
a healthy vegetarian diet solution.

The problem, however, was in finding vegetarian meals that met my stringent criteria; healthy, protein-filled, easy to prepare, and most importantly tasty.

I’m not sure what your experience has been with vegetarians, but I’ve
come across many in my time and a large number of them don’t have
the body type that I would categorize as fit.

So, when I finally came across Kardena Pauza’s Easy Veggie Meal Plans,
my interest was definitely peaked.  Everything that I was looking for in
a vegetarian diet she had put together in a 90 day program.  I had to
try it.

I would be lying, however, if I didn’t admit that I was a little nervous
about having a shortage of protein in my diet.  After all, protein is the
staple of any weight trainer’s diet, right? 

But, I was totally shocked.  After 30 days on Easy Veggie Meal Plans
I noticed that I had so much more energy, making my workouts that
much more effective.  But, perhaps the most valuable lesson I learned
was just how much protein you actually need in your diet.  I read
Pauza’s theory regarding protein consumption and then I went out
and proved it.

So, I discovered that I didn’t need as much protein in my diet and
I was feeling more alert and vibrant, but what about preparation?
Because if the meals outlined in the Easy Veggie Meal Plans were
going to take forever to prepare, then they just weren’t going to
fit in with my lifestyle. 

Well, to my surprise, a majority of the meals I could easily make in
about ten to fifteen minutes. As busy as I am, I’ve got 15 minutes to
put together a meal, and these aren’t just your regular “fast food”
meals.  They are deliciously protein-packed, nutrient-rich meals. 
I was on to something here.

Another Thing I Liked:

It’s not uncommon when switching over to a vegetarian diet to run
into people who are misinformed about this type of lifestyle.  So,
scepticism and veggie diet bashing are fairly prevalent, but as a
bonus Pauza includes a “Defend Your Diet” coaching call where
she explains how to fend off the veggie haters of the world. 
This is the perfect compliment to the program because now I can  informatively educate my friends and family.  Who knows, maybe
even convert them!

So there you have it.  If you’re looking for a deliciously healthy,
protein-filled, and easy-to-prepare vegetarian option, then pick
up a copy of Kardena Pauza’s Easy Veggie Meal Plans.  Your body
will thank you!

The #1 Superfood Essential to Your Fat Loss Diet

Arugla leafygreen vegetable

A healthy diet is a vital component to any fat loss program. Fortunately,
this superfood can be found at any grocery store or farmer’s market at a
relatively inexpensive price.  What’s more, this superfood supplies a
majority of the Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamins and minerals
to give you endless amounts of energy,  it stabilizes your blood sugar
and detoxifies your body,and it provides you with the essential amino
acids your body needs to build strong, lean muscles.

 

So what is it ?

None Other Than The
Leafy Green Vegetable.

I hope you aren’t disappointed it wasn’t something exotic like elixir berry juice.  But, the truth of the matter is, the leafy green vegetable is really a underrated, nutrient dense, inexpensive, and readily available super food. It does, however, get a little more exciting in that this dark green vegetable has many substitutes, including spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, chard, parsley, cilantro, and many others. In fact, if you go to a farmer’s market I’m sure you’ll find plenty to choose from.  And variety is important because each green offers a different composition of minerals and vitamins.

Most leafy greens have a mild flavour, but if you’re unsure about one,
here’s a little tip you can use when doing your shopping.  When you
find a green that you think you’d like to try, simply pinch off a small
piece of it and give it a try.  If you like the taste, add it to the cart, if
not, just hope no one was watching!

Alright, you’re home and ready to give the leafy greens a try, but
you’re unsure how to eat them. 
 

Well, here are  some suggestions:Spinach

1.   Prepare a salad with a base of greens that
you like, while adding in some of the new, unfamiliar greens. You’ll find that over time
you’ll acquire a taste for the new darker
greens and begin to really enjoy them.

2.   Add greens to your smoothies. I know
it sounds odd, but trust me, you won’t taste
a thing.   Just start out with a small amount
of greens and slowly add more.

3.   Try making fresh fruit and veggie juice
with greens in it. Personally, I like cilantro,
parsley, and spinach in mine.

4.   Stir fries are a great way to add in veggies and greens.

5.   Also, try making soups with added greens.

So, those are just some of the ways in which you can add one of the
best superfoods to your diet.  Try them out for two weeks and I
guarantee that you will feel more alert and have more energy.
