Is this the Healthiest Drink in the World?
by Mike Geary, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist
Did you know that there's a drink with 10 times the Vitamin C of orange juice with 1/4 the sugar and calories? And it's all naturally occurring, not with added vitamin C! I'll explain... More Vitamin C than 10 Glasses of Orange Juice!
Well, I've done it again... After my famous "healthiest cheese-steak in the world" (tons of people LOVED that recipe), and my healthy chocolate fudge recipe (which was a big hit too)... now I've come up with a drink so healthy, it might be a record-breaker...
Here's my newest concoction for a drink that has one of the highest antioxidant levels possible and also more naturally occurring Vitamin C than 7-10 glasses of orange juice (but with 1/4 the sugar and calories of gut-fattening OJ)...
If you remember from my Truth About Abs Program, one of my favorite drinks (since I avoid all sodas, fruit juices, and any sugary drinks), is to simply drink these unsweetened iced tea mixtures that I make where I use a blend of green tea, white tea, rooibos tea, oolong tea, black tea, mate, etc (in different combos each week, usually 3-4 types -- big variety of antioxidants).
I usually make a big pitcher of this type of iced tea blend each week just very lightly sweetened with the natural non-caloric sweetener stevia.
Now here's where the 10x the vitamin C content of Orange Juice comes in...
Acerola cherry super-food I found out about a fruit called an Amazon Cherry (acerola cherry), and I buy the frozen smoothie packs of pureed acerola cherry at this website:
Each individual serving pack of the frozen pureed acerola cherry contains a massive 1,400% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C (all naturally occurring in this little super-food). A super-food boost addition to your abs-diet.
So what I do is thaw the acerola cherry puree/juice, and use 1/2 of a packet in a full glass of my unsweetened iced tea blend.
Since I use half the packet, this comes out to only 9 gms of sugar per glass of the mixture (about 1/4 the sugar content of about 10 oz of OJ), but a whopping 700% recommended daily intake of Vitamin C.
Essentially this is a drink with 1/4 the calories of OJ, and more than 10x the nutritional punch, factoring in the antioxidants from the teas and the natural Vitamin C from the acerola cherry.
Move over OJ... there's a new breakfast beverage winner in town! And it'll keep you leaner than sugary OJ!
You'll also see that this site has organic acai berry for smoothies too...
Buy organic Acai from Sambazon.
My favorite use of the acai berry is to mix it with a banana, some organic cocoa powder, and raw milk... makes a delicious healthy smoothie (acai, cocoa, and banana is an incredible combo)!
Note that this is real acai berry, instead of all of the "miracle pill" acai berry scams that you see all over the internet these days... most of which are produced by shady companies where you don't even know if they put any real acai extract in their pills. Acai from Sambazon is the second real boost of super-food for you abs diet.
Enjoy!

I've been known to come up with ways to make typical junk foods extremely healthy. Unique recipes for healthier pizza versions, healthy burgers, healthy chocolate peanut butter fudge, and so on, have all been featured in my newsletters in the past. Tasty foods help when trying to stay on an abs diet.
Today, I wanted to tell you about my "world's healthiest cheese-steak".
Growing up in the Philly area, I'm sure you're aware we're known for our famous cheese-steaks. However, health and fitness have NEVER been associated with our cheese-steaks... until Geary stepped in.
So here's how I made the world's healthiest cheese-steak:
First, I used Ezekial sprouted grain rolls, which are a mix of about 10 different sprouted grains with no refined flour. I'm still not a huge fan of eating too much grain in your abs diet, but if you're going to do it, sprouted grain bread (or rolls) is the best option.
Then, I used a good quality grass-fed beef and sliced it thin. Grass fed beef contains larger quantities of CLA - conjugated linoleic acid, which (in its natural form) is shown in some studies to promote fat loss and muscle building. Also, grass fed beef contains a much better ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids compared with typical grain-fed beef sold at most stores.
Then, I used a raw longhorn cheese from grass-fed cows as well. Grass-fed dairy is also a great source of beneficial CLA.
Finally, I topped it all off with some sautéed Vidalia onions and baby portabella mushrooms...
And voila... the healthiest cheese-steak on the freakin planet! And it was most delicious too and keeps you going strong on your abs diet!
Enjoy!

Author - The Truth about Six Pack Abs
Abs are muscles and usually take a bit of effort and energy to develop. However be assured that you can get ripped abs quick and easily with proper exercises and abs diet. Once you ramp up your metabolism, you will notice your abs building automatically from two to four and finally to the six pack abs you desire.
Focus on Two Areas of the Abdomen
Bear in mind that you have to focus on two main areas of your abdomen. The first is the upper part and the second is the lower section, so you need to employ exercises that burn fat as well as tighten the muscles on both sections simultaneously. Do this correctly and you'll get ripped abs quick.
Don't Forget the Warm Up
Before you start exercising you need to warm up your entire body and take it though a series of stretching exercises. There are a number of ways to achieve this including climbing stairs, jumping, sprinting, etc. will all help in burning fat and calories. However these need to be done on a regular basis.
Interval Training
You should train in intervals since doing only very high intensity exercises cannot give you the desired result as fast as you might think because you will stress your body and not be able to keep pace. So try to change up the pace and exercise in short intervals by alternating spurts of activity with brief periods of rest. This will give you a lasting effect as well as help in shedding extra fat overall.
Crunches and sit ups in order to tighten those abs should start with ten at a time and then slowly work yourself up to twenty to thirty for each set. Don't overdo it. This can actually defeat the purpose by causing your body to feel fatigued. Rest between every couple of sets.
Proper Diet Plan
A proper diet plan as well as an exercise program is imperative to your success. You should try to keep the calorie intake at levels appropriate to your height and current weight and then start decreasing by about 200-300 calories every few days until you reach the amount of calories needed to maintain a healthy weight. Always maintain a good balance of proteins and carbohydrates in your diet. Some fats and complex carbs are necessary to proper body function and shouldn't be eliminated altogether. You should take in lots of fluids such as water and green tea.
In order to get ripped abs quick you need to be committed to exercising your whole body and working towards losing extra fat. By increasing your metabolism, you can help your body slim down and before you know it, your six pack abs will magically begin to appear.
