Is Your Cardio Making You Fatter
Saturday, 17 August 2013
Can you believe your cardio exercise could be making you fatter?
Well the answer is yes it can!
What exercises do you think are great fat burning exercises?
The exercises I instantly think of are jogging and other long-duration cardio methods like exercise bikes and ellipticals? After all, they’re proven to burn loads of fat right?
Well, if that’s what you think, you’re certainly not alone. In fact, over 36 million people turn to jogging every year in the hopes of getting a lean and attractive body.
But unfortunately, those folks are in for major disappointment. So I would personally like to say “I’m sorry” to you on behalf of the entire fitness industry. If you’ve been on the cardio-craze band wagon, please accept my sincerest apology for the myths and tall-tales that have been leading you down the golden path.
And if you were thinking of taking up a cardio routine to shed a few pounds, make sure you read this entire page to discover exactly why that’s a very, very bad idea that will end up making you even fatter!
There’s no sugar coating it. You have been lied to, plain and simple. Every magazine you’ve read, every website you’ve visited, and every local trainer you’ve met who has told you that you need to do steady-state cardio to get lean has been wrong.
I’m talking about those hard 45 minute distance runs, the tough marathon sessions on the elliptical, and the brutally hard aerobics classes. Please ditch those right away if you want to accelerate your fat loss and keep the weight off permanently.
But you might be thinking…
“I sweat like crazy, my heart is racing, and I’m exhausted after those cardio sessions, so they must be helping me strip off my body fat, right?”
Wrong!
Unfortunately, relying heavily on steady-state cardio (where you keep the same pace for the duration of your workout) in the so-called “fat-burning zone” to get leaner is a recipe for actually getting FATTER.
This is why:
The 3 Ways Your “Cardio” Is Making You FATTER
1. You’re increasing the “gas mileage” you get out of your calories
Humans aren’t cars.
Getting 70 miles per gallon in your new hybrid car is awesome. But, when you’re looking to lose weight, the last thing you want is to be fuel-efficient.
No, you want to be a gas-guzzling — calorie burning — machine! You want to be more like a high-octane, powerful Lamborghini that burns through fuel faster than the cast of The Jersey Shore burns through hair gel!
If you do a lot of traditional cardio (going for a 40 minute jog 4-5 times per week), you’re actually teaching your body to burn FEWER calories to fuel your activity. That’s because your body adapts quickly to this kind of workout and gets very efficient at it. This means that despite your best efforts, your long runs are putting more thunder in your thighs and more love in your love handles!
2. You’re boosting fat-storing hormones
Traditional cardio not only makes you burn less fat for fuel over time, it increases the activity of hormones that make you STORE fat.
There are several culprits, but the main one I’m talking about is cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that your body relies on for energy during periods of fatigue. While cortisol does some important things in your body, chronically high levels cause increases in the size of that pouch of fat that hangs off the bottom of your belly.
I’m here to break the bad news to you that traditional cardio actually causes cortisol to run rampant in your body.
Going for an easy walk is fine and good for your health, but those hard distance runs, long elliptical sessions, and aerobic dance classes cause your cortisol to make deposits of fat around your belly button at a rate greater than Donald Trump makes deposits at the bank!
3. You’re taking fuel out of your metabolic furnace
Think of your metabolism like a wood-burning furnace. The more wood you have on the fire, the hotter it will burn.
The wood in your body’s metabolism is lean muscle tissue. Higher levels of lean muscle create a huge demand for calories, even when you’re not exercising at all!
Traditional cardio eats away at muscle mass, which then decreases the amount of calories you burn on a day-to-day basis.
So if jogging ain’t so great, what the heck should you be doing instead?
Forget about “cardio” and turn to “the perfect fat burning training system” instead.
Technically, you could still call the perfect fat burning training system work “cardio,” because it does train the cardiovascular system, but in a VERY different way.
Unlike cardio training, perfect fat burning system training actually stimulates fat loss, while SIMULTANEOUSLY maintaining muscle mass so that you can keep the furnace hot!
So what can you do to shift towards perfect fat burning training system training and avoid the 3 problems with traditional cardio?
The answer is really quite simple.
First, you need to make sure you’ve got a good resistance-training program.
Too many people make the mistake of ignoring their metabolically active muscle mass. This is the base of your fat burning metabolism. Don’t ignore it. Whether you are a woman or a man, a well designed resistance training program is a must.
Next, you should do your perfect fat burning training system exercises 2-4 times per week, but utilizing high intensity intervals instead of your standard 30-45 minute boring jog.
High intensity intervals burn more fat than steady-state cardio, they boost your metabolism, and they increase your fat-burning hormones.
Here’s a sample plan for you:
For each workout, choose whatever method you want whether it is sprinting, kayaking, cycling, rowing, etc. The principles remain the same no matter what you’re doing.
Workout 1: 6 rounds of 30 seconds as hard and as fast as you can go followed by 1 minute and 30 seconds of low intensity activity or complete rest
Workout 2: 8 rounds of 1 minute as hard and as fast as you can go followed by 2 minutes of low-intensity activity or complete rest
Workout 3: 20 rounds of 10 seconds as hard and as fast as you can go followed by 30 seconds of low-intensity activity or complete rest
Make these quick and easy changes to your workout plan and kiss your body fat goodbye forever!
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. All these principles, and many more cutting edge scientific fat loss methods, are part of our brand new program.

Medical Weight Loss What Makes US Different
Saturday, 27 July 2013
Best Medical Weight Loss Program in Philadelphia
In this article I will review why I think – and our Patients think we are the most complete medical weight loss program in Philadelphia, Bucks County, Delaware and Jersey.
Difference 1:
First of all we only use the highest quality medications and supplements in our program. Many of our patients have told us that the medications that we use to control their appetite and hunger seem to be more effective as compared to the medications that they were given by other medical weight loss centers.
Difference 2:
Our patients tell us that our program is Less expensive than other medical weight loss programs in the Philadelphia, Bucks County, Jersey and Delaware regions.
Difference 3:
You see a Certified and licensed medical health care practitioner on each and every visit. You will usually see the Medical Doctor on your visits and on some occasions you may be seen by our certified and licensed Physician's Assistant. Our Physician"s Assistants received their degrees from the Pennsylvania College of Osteopathic Medicine which is one of the finest medical schools in the Philadelphia region and the country. Today you will find Physician's Assistants in most Medical offices taking care of patients under the supervision of a Medical Doctor.
Difference 4:
We spend time with you going over a proper diet and nutrition program. Many of our patients tell us that at other weight-loss clinics in Philadelphia they are just handed a sheet of paper with nothing on it but meat, chicken, fish and vegetables and told that this is the diet that they are supposed to follow. They are also told to drink nothing but water.
So basically they are told to follow an Atkins like type of diet.
Now most of us have tried the Atkins diet in the past and we all have lost weight on the Atkins diet. But the problem is as soon as you eat your first piece of bread, your first piece of chocolate or your first piece of anything that is not a protein or vegetable . You will gain the weight you lost back.
Personally there have been times when I myself have lost 30 pounds doing the Atkins diet But as soon as I ate my first slice of pizza I started to gain the weight back and Actually gained back 50 pounds. So, I gained back the 30 pounds that I lost plus an additional 20 pounds.
I don't know about you but I find it extremely difficult not to have at least a little bit of starchy carbohydrates during the day.
So with our program we allow you to eat starchy carbohydrates – just in moderation. In fact, we allow you to eat almost everything in moderation.
On our weight-loss program people cannot believe the Normal everyday foods that they can eat and still lose weight. The key to the weight loss success of our program is that we tell you when you should start eating how often you should eat and when to stop eating.
We make it simple and easy by giving you a blueprint to reach your weight loss goals.
Difference 5:
We give you an exercise program that is custom designed for you. We take into consideration your present health and physical condition when we design your program. Some patients might just walk a little bit. Other patients that are more physically fit may do a more varied type of exercise routine. We have patients that are working out three days a week for only 15 minutes on each of these days and they are losing weight.
Difference 6:
We are always just a phone call and/or an email away. We try to answer phone calls promptly but if we are on the phone with other patients your call may go to voice mail but please leave a message because we constantly check our voice mail and return calls almost immediately.
What we are about:
This program is not about losing 100 pounds in 30 days. It is about making small lifestyle changes that add up to big results and safe weight loss over a period of time.
It is not our goal to make you a size 0.
But it is our goal to make you happy with yourself. It is our goal to make you healthy and make you the "Best You" that you could possibly be.

Stop The Insane Crazy Exercises & Workouts – Learn Simple & Easy Weight Loss Exercises
Friday, 10 May 2013
Stop the crazy work outs!
Hello everyone this is Dr. Kenny and I am pleading with you to please stop the insanity and stop injuring yourself with these crazy high intensity workouts that promise you a tremendous amount of weight loss and Beach body in 30 days or less. Now I am telling you that it is possible to lose a significant amount of weight in 30 days but I am also telling you that you do not have to kill yourself in order to lose the weight. It is possible to lose weight safely and sensibly without hurting yourself and that's what our program is about.
The reason I am writing this article is because each and every day when I am working with our weight loss patients and I am customizing a simple and easy diet and exercise program for them more often than not they tell me that they had injured themselves either while exercising with a DVD program that they bought after seeing an infomercial on television or working with an inexperienced trainer who had the best intentions but pushed them to the extreme and they hurt themselves.
In order to lose weight:
- You do not have to exercise like an insane person performing super high intensity exercises each and every day.
- You do not have to run 10 miles each and every day.
- You do not have to starve yourself.
- You do not have to have an expensive gym membership.
- You do not have to spend a fortune on personal trainers.
- You do know have to have fancy expensive exercise equipment.
- You do not have to spend money on the latest and greatest exercise DVDs.
- You do not have to push yourself to the point where you actually cause yourself harm by injuring yourself.
- You do not have to spend a fortune on weight loss supplements and fat burners and all that other stuff that you see promoted on television and sold online and in stores that are in our local malls.
It's sad, but people come into our medical weight loss center and tell me all of the wonderful supplements that they are taking and the advice that they are getting from the salespeople working at the nutritional supplement stores. The problem is that they are spending quite a bit of money at the stores in the hopes of buying a product that will help them lose weight but the sad fact is that are still overweight.
Their body is still over weight but their pockets are much lighter.
Their pockets are much later because they are spending money on inferior nutritional supplements.
Sadly, the nutritional company can sell a product that only contains a 1 to 3 percent of the nutritional product that is on the label of the bottle and the rest of the you are taking can be just filler products.
Just because I am curious I ask them what type of graduate degree does the person selling this product have. Most of the time I am told that the person that sold them the nutritional supplement and gave them all this fantastic advice is a high school or college kid and that they had a tremendous physique.
Well, I have nothing against high school or college kids because I have children that are in high school and in college. But let me tell you when you are in high school and in college your body's hormones are at their peak. And this means that during those high school and college years you can almost eat anything and just do a little bit of exercise and still have a great body.
Sadly as we get older it gets a bit more difficult to eat whatever we want and still have a tremendous Beach body physique. At the age of 49 my body doesn't recover from the crazy exercise routines that I did when I was a much younger man.
Past the age of 30 our body's chemistry and hormonal levels decrease. This means that we do not heal as quickly as we did when we were in our teens and 20s. So this means when you do all of those crazy super high intensity exercises you are just going to hurt herself if you are over 30 years old.
But I am happy to tell you that you can still lose weight and be in great shape if you just exercise and eat smart.
In our medical weight loss center we help people that have to lose hundreds of pounds as well as people that only have to lose 30 to 50 pounds.
So it's just common sense, at least to me, that a person who has 100 pounds to lose is not going to do the same exercise program as a person that has to lose 50 pounds.
The fact is that the majority of our patients start with just a simple walking program and they lose a tremendous amount of weight and they don't hurt themselves.
So please if you are thinking of spending money on one of those crazy exercise DVDs, don't!
If you need help losing weight it is always best to work with a licensed healthcare professional.
If you need help losing weight just call us and we will be glad to assist you. Call 215-821-7336
Whether you need to lose 50 pounds or 250 pounds we can help you.
We can help you achieve your weight loss goals without starving yourself and without injuring yourself.

Burst Training High Intensity Interval Training When Time Is Short
Thursday, 18 April 2013
When time is short try Burst Training. But Do Not Try This Routine Unless A Doctor Has Approved It for You.
Cardio Routine:
Please usa one of the following exercise machines for this routine:
An elliptical machine, stationary bike and/or stair stepper.
Perform this routine just 3 days a week on non-consecutive days.
That means you would exercise on – Monday – Wednesday – Friday or Tuesday – Thursday – Saturday
The Routine is as follows:
-
Warm up for three minutes. Let's say you are riding a stationary bike for this ecercise session. so you would pedal for 3 minutes and allow the body to prepare for the session.
-
After the 3 minute warm up you then pedal as hard and fast as you can for 30 seconds. You should be gasping for breath and feel like you couldn't possibly go on another few seconds
-
After the 30 seconds of high intensity pedaling you will recover for 3 minutes, by still pedaling, but pedaling at slower pace and decreased resistance
-
Repeat the high intensity exercise and recovery 3 more times
So your goal is 4 short 30 socond bursts of high intensity cardio exercise each of which are followed by 3 minutes of low intensity movement. If you cannot perform 4 sets just do what you can and work your way up to 4 over time. Eventually 4 sets will become to easy so when that happens gradually increase the sets to 5 then 6 then 7 then 8. But remember common sense dictates everything so be mindful of how you feel and do not push yourself to the extreme.
Strength Training:
Rounding out your exercise program with a 1-set strength training routine will ensure that you're really optimizing the possible health benefits of a regular exercise program. Do enough repetitions to exhaust your muscles. The weight should be heavy enough that this can be done in fewer than 12 repetitions, yet light enough to do a minimum of four repetitions. It is also important NOT to exercise the same muscle groups every day. They need at least two days of rest to recover, repair and rebuild. Do not use free weights. Use the exercise equipment in your facility or elastic bands for home workouts.
Exercises:
Chest Press
Shoulder Press
Back Row / Pull
Biceps Curl
Triceps Press
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Leg Extension

The Best Exercises for Weight Loss and Fat Burning
Friday, 22 March 2013
If you are serious about losing weight this is a must-read article because I will be reviewing what you definitely need to be doing to burn fat and lose weight and I will also go over common misconceptions about exercising for weight loss.
Sadly there is so much misinformation out there about being healthy and losing weight that most people that come into our office are totally confused about what they should be doing to facilitate their weight loss and become healthy.
Today we are inundated with infomercials on television promoting the latest and greatest exercise routine and trendy diet program. We are also subject to advertisements in the magazines, newspapers and even on the radio and yes even on the computer and Internet.
Some of the information and some of the programs that are out there do have some merit. However, the majority of them are just designed to take your money. So now that I got that off of my chest let me start by saying that there is no perfect weight loss program or exercise routine for everyone. What works for you might not work for your brother or sister or your friends and vice versa. So this means that there are general guidelines that each of us should be following in order to achieve our physical fitness and physique goals but often times these guidelines have to be tweaked to work specifically for you.
If your goal is to lose a significant amount of weight the only real surefire exercise routine is cardiovascular exercise. This means that each and every day, yes that is right seven days a week you should be doing some type of cardiovascular activity.
I prefer to ride a bike. When the weather is nice I can bike ride outside and when it's cold and raining and snowing here in Philadelphia I ride a stationary bike in the house. Now your activity might be different you might like to take an exercise class, you might like to do an exercise DVD in the convenience of your own home, you might like to walk on the treadmill or walk around the neighborhood with family or friends or you can do any other activity you like, just do it.
Here is the secret to losing weight and burning fat so please pay attention.
Now in order to achieve fat burning you must perform a cardiovascular activity between 65% and 70% of your maximum heart rate. This is how will calculate that: you subtract your age from 220 and then times that .65 and .70 and that gives you 65 and 75% of your maximum heart rate. For example I am 49 years old so you would just subtract 49 from 220 and that gives you 171. You then multiply one 71 x .65 and that gives you 111, so this means that 65% of my maximum heart rate. In order to calculate 70% of the maximum heart rate I would just multiply 171 by .70 and that gives me 119.
So when I am performing my cardiovascular activity I want my heart rate to be between 111 and 119. That is all I would have to do in order to achieve weight loss and fat burning. For the first 30 minutes of riding a bike with my heart rate between 111 and 119, I will just be burning the sugar that is in my bloodstream and making my heart really healthy but from minute 31 on is when I will be fat burning.
This means that in order to actually lose weight I have to perform this exercise activity for 60 consecutive minutes.
With this method we are not concerned how fast, how hard and how intense we are actually exercising; we are just concerned with keeping our heart rate between 65% and 70% of your maximum heart rate. So I highly recommend that you use a heart rate monitor when doing this exercise routine.
If you are not able to perform any type of cardiovascular exercise for 60 straight minutes then just do what you can and over the course of time work your way up to 60 consecutive minutes.
With this routine we are not looking to lose 100 pounds in 30 days. We are trying to lose weight in a safe and healthy way and this will enable us to maintain this weight loss for the rest of our lives.
The only exercise machine that I do not recommend for this type of exercise routine is an elliptical machine. An elliptical machine is fantastic for high intensity bursts of exercise. An elliptical does definitely have its place in your exercise routines by not at the beginning when you were really trying to lose weight and to lose inches.
There will come a time when you hit a plateau and the weight loss stops. When this happens then it is time to start doing more advanced type of exercises for which the elliptical machine is fantastic and I am talking about doing short bursts of high intensity exercise.
The short high-intensity burst of exercise routines will help you develop nice lean muscle.
By I have always found that it best to lose as much weight as possible in the beginning doing the 60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise and then go into the more short burst high intensity exercise.
This is because through my years of personal training and also through my consulting with multitudes of patients I have learned that it is difficult to burn fat – lose weight and build muscle at the same time. Sadly I have found that if you try to do both at the same time you just wind up getting bulky.
I hope you found this article helpful. If you have any questions or would like a personal consultation in our Philadelphia Medical Weight Loss Facility just call us at 215-821-7336.

7 Weight Loss Tips
Monday, 11 March 2013
7 Weight Loss Tips from our Philadelphia Medical Weight Loss Center to lose weight fast.
Tip Number 1:
You should have a small portion of protein with each and every meal.
You should have a small portion of protein with each and every meal.
Tip Number 2:
Stay away from fried foods. When foods are fried it diminishes all the nutritional benefits of that particular food and it also adds a tremendous amount of calories and unhealthy fats. Better cooking methods include steaming, grilling, broiling and baking.

Tip Number 3:
You should be physically active each and every day. In order to lose weight it is not necessary to spend two hours in the gym every day. In fact you do not even have to have to gym membership. All you have to do is be active. The more physically active you are the more calories you burn during the day. You will also help develop good lean muscle and burn fat. You can take the stairs at work instead of using the elevator. You can ride a bicycle to work or to school. While you are watching your favorite television show it night you could actually be peddling on a stationary bike. You could also take a brisk walk around your neighborhood or your favorite local park. To achieve the maximum fat loss you should have a goal of performing some type of cardiovascular activity for 60 minutes each day.

Tip Number 4:
You should have your breakfast within the first 30 to 60 minutes of waking up. This will balance your body's chemistry and also put your body into fat burning mode for that day. If you do not eat during the first 30 to 60 minutes of waking up your body will go into starvation mode in the majority of the calories that you consumed during the day will be stored as fat. Please remember that you have to eat a good quality source of protein at breakfast. Coffee with extra cream and extra sugar and a jelly doughnut do not make up a healthy breakfast but they will make you terribly fat.
Tip Number 5:
You should drink at least 64 ounces of water every day. Your body needs to be properly hydrated in order to perform all of its normal activities. Without the right amount of water your body will not operate at its peak capacity.
Tip Number 6:
Do not be confused with all the different diet fads and 20 weight loss programs. So many people come into my office and are totally confused about what they really should be doing in order to be healthy and in order to be at a body weight that they would be happy with. Sadly this is because of all of the advertisements and infomercials that are on the television and on the Internet. The majority of these advertisements are just promoting weight loss programs, supplements or products that may give you a quick fix but eventually you will usually gained back all the weight you lost and probably even more than the weight you lost.
Tip Number 7:
If you really want to lose weight in a fast, safe and healthy way order to lose weight you should work with a healthcare professional that specializes in weight loss. In our medical weight loss program many of our patients do not have the slightest idea about what they really have to do to lose weight but this does not matter because we hold our patients by the hand and guide them step-by-step through their weight loss journey.

Is It Possible To Lose 10 lbs in 2 Weeks Without Dieting?
Friday, 22 February 2013
Just doing this one thing I personally lost 7 pounds in two weeks. My cravings also decreased and my belly bloat went away.
All you have to do is just add one thing to your daily regimen.
My nutrition and wellness mentor Dr. Berg designed this program to make the tiniest change to your eating habits and yet give you the biggest difference in your health. He always told me that the most common misconception is that most people think they need to lose weight in order to get healthy. Everyone knows that obesity is a major health risk. It's actually one of the leading health risk in the United States at this time.
In actuality you should really be getting healthy in order to lose weight. You see healthy bodies do not accumulate extra fat.
Whether we like it or not a purpose of food is to give us energy and to facilitate the growth and repair of tissues. The nutritional ingredients in our food is what actually makes us healthy. Now please remember that calories do matter but if you want to be healthy and lean and fit you much rather have the calories from a nice snack of chicken and a half cup of brown rice than the calories from a Snickers bar. Yes sadly it is true all calories are not created equal. The calories from the Snickers bar are just going to make you fatter and less healthy. Where as, the calories from the chicken and Brown Rice is going to give you a time of energy and provide your body with the nourishment that it needs to heal and make you much more healthy.
This program is the kale shake. According to Dr. Berg, he came up with this program and tested it on hundreds of thousands of people with amazing success.
It's hard to believe but it's so very true that one cup of kale gives you 18,000 units of vitamin A as well as tons of vitamin K and 10 times more vitamin C than spinach. It has more iron than beef, more calcium than milk and lots of phytonutrients, which provides additional health benefits. Yes it's true!
1 cup of kale per day is your multivitamin and mineral supplement.
There are few foods that are more nutrient rich than kale. Parsley does contain a little bit more nutrition than kale, but it's hard to swallow.
So Dr. Berg recommends that you have at least one kale shake a day before breakfast. If you want to be even healthier and his weight more quickly you could even do two or three Kale shakes per day. So you would have one shake before breakfast, one before lunch and one before dinner.
I tell my weight loss patients all of the time that your hunger is just a sign that your body needs nourishment. If you give your body the nourishment that it needs your hunger and cravings will go away. The problem is that when most people are hungry they are eating junk that has no nutritional value but it does have tons of sugar and calories. And of course you know that all of the extra sugar and calories will just make you fat and second.
