This information could save your life.

This is a special congratulations to one of our clients and friends. She has been working hard for the past few months and has the results to prove it. She went from a size 12 to a size ZERO (and the photo below has not been Photoshoped either). That is no exaggeration folks. She is a mother of 3, and as one would expect has a fairly hectic schedule. She still found the time to workout and make the proper nutritional changes as well. She even inspired her husband to join us too. So from all of us at Carter Fitness, congrats on a job well done. Now keep it up because we are not finished with you

Remember my balls? Well V-Diet Muffins might actually be better than my (protein) balls.

My Actual Muffins

V-Diet Muffins were first created by Daven (username on T-Nation forums). They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and I have a strong feeling that is exactly what happened here. You see, on the V-Diet you get nothing but protein Metabolic Drive protein shakes 5 times a day. Yawn.

And on the V-diet, there are 3 main foods you can consume: Metabolic Drive, ground flax seeds, and peanut butter. I’m guessing Daven thought “what the hell” lets see if the suckers bake up. Sure enough, they do.

I don’t usually do book reviews, but this one really impressed me. A few weeks back I found myself watching the Today Show, which is a rarity for me. They were doing a segment on “Eat This, Not That“. And just as the name suggests, they were going over how to make better food choices at familiar restaurants.

How cool! So I hopped on to Amazon.com and within a a few days I was the proud owner of “Eat This, Not That” by David Zinczenko. It is based on the Men’s Health magazine column of the same name, but goes into much more detail. Not only is it well written it is chock full of pictures of the cuisine in question.

In late December of 2007 I was approached by a few clients who were interested in trying a new nutrition plan they had read about called the “Velocity Diet“, or “V-Diet“. This is a short term, low calorie, low carb, high protein diet. Sounds scary right? It is, but as it turns out so are the results. Can you get 6 pack abs in 28 days? We’ll see…

I wonder how many shakes a day these guys drank

A few days ago it was time for my morning workout. I was tired, it was cold out and I was seriously considering blowing it off. I was looking for anything to do to avoid starting. So I checked my email and a friend had forwarded me this:

I had a great workout.
