SUMMER IS UPON US! Are

you ready for it? Do you have
big plans this summer, maybe
a vacation to look forward to
or pool parties to attend? If
you're wanting to look your
best, then this issue can help.
First and foremost,
however, is your health.
Skin cancer is still a serious
threat, taking countless lives
each year. If you're going to
be spending a lot of time outdoors, then don't forget your
sunscreen! Today's sunscreens are better than ever, but the
key thing to remember is nothing protects you all day. You're
going to have to reapply periodically throughout the day. Find
out more, plus see product suggestions, on pages 16-18.
If you're in a crunch to look awesome in a swimsuit or at
least feel super comfortable in one, then check out Joe Wells'
tips on page 12 and then turn to page 20 for your Summer
Slimdown circuit training workout. If you are considering
picking up a surfboard and surfng the waves this summer,
then we have a great article on exercises you can do to
strengthen all the right muscles and help you catch that killer
wave (pgs. 24-26).
Jenny Broers shares some powerful information in her
column on the Weekend Binge. Really eye opening stuff! You
may think your cheat meals aren't hurting you, but if you
knew how many calories were in that cheat meal, you might
not want to eat it! Plus, cheat meals sometimes turn into
cheat weekends, which will derail all your efforts from the
previous week. Don't let the weekend binge be your downfall!
Find her column on page 28.
For additional weight loss motivation, check out this
month's Max Results story featuring a lovely gal who took her
ah-hah moment and turned her life around. Now she's loving
her new body and her newfound energy and zest for life
(pgs. 30-31).
In this issue, we have a fun swimwear fashion spread
featuring our cover model and other ftness models. We hope
they inspire you to want to get in even better shape and we
hope you get some ideas for some uber cute suits to wear on
your next sunny vacation (pgs. 34-37).
Summer is great for shopping at a Farmers Market, too.
Find seven reasons to shop at one on pages 42-44. Then turn
to page 46 for some tasty slimming beverages to try.
For our science section, we have an informative piece on
supplements for men (pgs. 50-51) and, last but not least, is a
detailed article on Max Muscle's complete workout stack (pgs.
54-56).
Have a great summer everyone! Until next time...

PRESIDENT'S POINT
BEING A MAX MUSCLE Certifed Fitness
Nutrition Coach (CFNC) is much more
than the certifcation our franchisees
and their staff get from NESTA, a very
well respected and nationally accredited
organization. The true value each of
our CFNCs possess is the education and
knowledge of every Max Muscle brand
product in their store and how each
of these products have been uniquely
developed to help our customers achieve
their goals.
Its one of the reasons why Max Muscle
started nearly 25 years ago: we wanted to
develop products that meet label claim, and were not only effcacious, but
also safe. This is because we have always been consumers of our products
frst and businessmen second. It is why we source and control our own raw
materials and only put the highest quality ingredients into our formulations.
It is why we use patented ingredients instead of generic ones like other
companies do to keep their costs down. It is why we began independently
testing our products long before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
created the GMP requirements. And its why we do not sacrifce or cut
corners when it comes to quality.
We furthered our commitment to quality and new product development
when we brought Dr. Phillip Harvey on board as our Chief Science Offcer
several years ago to take us to the next level in terms of innovation and
cutting-edge science in product development.
All of this resonated with me the other day when we were on our
weekly system-wide conference call with all of our passionate Max Muscle
franchisees. They were listening intently as Dr. Harvey explained to us
the science behind Max Muscles newest production introductions. As you
can see in our magazine, weve recently introduced several exciting new
products. Emerge, our best-selling weight-loss powder, just came out in
two new awesome tasting favors: Root Beer and Vanilla Crme. Full Blown
Extreme got an upgrade and makeover with the release of FBX 2.0, which
contains all of the newest and most advanced pre-workout ingredients in
the effcacious amounts needed for maximum effect. The feedback on this
product from customers on social media who have already tried it ranges
from the best pre-workout Ive ever used to I will never use anything
else, hurry and get us more favors in FBX 2.0!
We also have a new Max Whey Isolate in chocolate and vanilla favors
that boasts 21 grams of pure whey isolate and 5 grams of BCAAs per
serving with zero gluten, sugar and fat. This is as pure as it gets and it
tastes amazing! Also new this month are two of the main ingredients in
FBX 2.0, Agmatine Sulfate and Max CarnoSyn. Weve made these available
as stand-alone products for those customers looking to amplify their
pre-workouts by increasing the amounts of these key ingredients. All new
product introductions are 10 percent off for your frst purchase to give our
Max Muscle customers extra incentive to try them!
At Max Muscle, June is dedicated to sports performance, and weve got
another awesome sale on the Complete Workout Stack, which includes the
new FBX 2.0 for pre-workout, Pro BCAA for during your workout and A.R.M.
for post workout. You can get all three of these ultra-premium performance
supplements for 20 percent off to help you power through your next
workout and then optimize your recovery for when the real muscle growth
takes place!

That Everyones Talking About!

People have been cleansing for thousands of years because of
the physical and mental benefits you experience. Body cleanses
work to remove toxins from our digestive system. A big benefit
from a cleanse is the natural energy youll feel. Your skin looks
better, you feel leaner and when you feel good on the inside, the
happier you are.
Deep body cleanses can help to lower your accumulation of
toxins. Everyone, no matter how clean a life you lead, will
accumulate toxins, and over time this accumulation can
overload our detoxification system and keep our body from
running as efficiently as it should. An overload of toxins may
also be a major cause of many diseases. As part of a
deep body cleanse, Cleanse & Lean can be taken with
L-Tox, ADRX, Essential Omega, L-Glutamine, Vit-Acell,
turmeric, red clover and Max Green Synergy. These
products taken together will help cleanse your liver, colon,
kidneys, lymphatic system, skin, blood and lungs.
"As the developer of Cleanse & Lean,

you can be assured we use the
highest quality ingredients available."

"I recently gave in to my five year long dream of competing. When I
became part of a local coaching team, my coach started me off on a
cleanse that included the supplement, Cleanse & Lean. I saw
immediate results within just one week, including less bloat and an
initial weight loss of about eight pounds. Seeing this, it had me
feeling energized, motivated, and fueled to continue on with prep,
which resulted in placing top five of my first ever competition!"
Melliza LeonenBellevue, WA
Cleanse & Lean is the best product on the market. I do not take any fat
burner supplements during my competition preparation. I take Cleanse & Lean
a few days before my competition to get that lean and fit look. Cleanse & Lean
makes you feel and look better!
Katie RhoeBoise, ID
As a busy mom of three year old twins, avid runner and yoga instructor I have found
that Cleanse & Lean is my "go to" supplement. Cleanse & Lean helps me get the lean
cuts and definition along with a healthy diet that I work so hard for. It helps me
to feel better and rid my body of excess toxins and water. As a fitness studio owner
I am asked frequently about different products and recommendations from different
companies and I always recommend with no hesitation to my clients, Cleanse & Lean
because it works!!!
Heather CummingsCle Elum, WA

I have not been able to have "normal" bowel movements for the last18 years
due to a previous surgery I have scar tissue in my bowels. Since lean and
cleanse I have been "regular" and happy! There are no side effects other than
happiness. I love my Cleanse & Lean! Thank you Max Muscle!!

JOE'S CORNER
HEY JOE,
how can I
look good
all summer
long?
SUMMER IS CLOSING IN FAST

and this summer wont be any different
than past summers. Americans love the

summer. Kids are out of school and the
longer days, vacations and sunshine
lure us all out to play. Bathing suits
are encouraged as many of us will be
keeping cool at beaches and pools,
or just limiting our clothing to stay cool.
And of course this brings on the pressure
of how am I going to look in my bikini
or when I take my shirt off. Pretty much
all of us deal with this on some level.
Yes it would be nice if we all had the
courage to not care, but we are humans
and of course we will! Besides, a little
pressure to look better can be healthy.
Here are a few tips to help you look
good all summer.
Do Cardio. One of the easiest ways
to speed up your metabolism is with
basic cardio training (walking, jogging,
biking, etc.). When youre walking, use
an invigorated pace to make sure your
heart rate increases and you can burn
more fat.
Work out with a friend. You will
keep each other accountable and this
will help you be more consistent. Your
workouts will also go by much faster as
you chat between sets or during cardio
training.
Drink plenty of water. Take 16-32
ounces of water with you and sip it as
you run, walk, lift weights etc. If your
body is properly hydrated you will also
fnd yourself less hungry. The summer
months will draw water out of your
body much faster than in the winter. A
good range is between 3 and 5 quarts
per day depending on your weight and
activity level.

Breathe. Breathing is very important

as oxygen will help you burn fat and
increase energy. As you are exercising
be sure to take in long, deep breaths.
Just as we focus on staying hydrated,
remember to stay oxygenated, too.
Snack wisely. Make sure you take

along a small cooler with some healthy

snacks when going on outings. Fruits,
veggies, nuts, etc. This will help you
avoid unhealthy snacks and binge
eating when you get too hungry. Fruits
and veggies will also help you stay
hydrated.
Involve the whole family. Our family
has enjoyed some great memories
renting bikes and riding on the beach
for a couple of hours. We all fnished
up exhausted, but invigorated from the
fresh air.
Use what's around you. Find
anything you can to help you work out:
benches, stairs, sand, etc. You may not
even need a gym to get your ftness
groove on. I recently found a fight of
20 stairs and at the top was the perfect
bench for seat dips and pushups. Within
20 minutes, I was exhausted. Look
around and be creative; there is no
excuse for not getting some training
in no matter where you are. If you're
traveling, pack some elastic tubing just
in case you cant fnd anywhere to work
out. Bands can be a great way to get in
a quick workout when youre on the go.

Harmful
To Your
Self Image
From noshing on healthy nuts to avoiding sugary

sodas when stressed, here are this month's latest
health blurbs. BY LINDA HEPLER, BSN, RN
Maple Syrup for

Fighting Bugs?
Antibiotic usage, sometimes when

not really needed, has led to
the emergence of drug-resistant
bacteria, a growing public health
concern worldwide. But a recent
study at McGill University in
Canada suggests a tasty
solution: maple syrup.
In the study, the researchers
found that a concentrated
extract of maple syrup used
in combination with common
antibiotics can increase the
bacterias susceptibility to the
medication, leading to overall
lower antibiotic usage.
Its long been recognized that the media, particularly high fashion or beauty
magazines, often objectify women, reducing them to a collection of body parts.
And women who spend a lot of time reading such magazines may compare their
appearances, often unfavorably, to other women.
But increasingly, young women who spend an average of two hours a day
on Facebook looking at photos often objectify themselves, comparing their
appearances with their peers, and even their own past images, claims a paper
published recently in Psychology of Women Quarterly.
The researchers say that this comparison is unhealthy and recommend that
young women post fewer images of themselves on Facebook and follow
others on Facebook who post photos less frequently in order to stop comparing
themselves and promote wellness.
A Nuty Soutio
Love nuts but hate the calories

in them? There may be good
reasons to include tree nuts like
almonds, cashews and pistachios
in your diet, regardless of calorie
count, say researchers from Tufts
University. It seems that these
high fat, low carb treats can
help with blood sugar control
perhaps even fend off Type
2 diabetes by replacing less
healthy carbs like pretzels and
crackers, which raise your blood
sugar rapidly. And the healthy
fat in nuts helps you to stay
full longer, which decreases the
likelihood that youll overeat.
JUNE 2015
Sugar & Stress
Trying to do the right thing with diet and workouts, but just
cant give up that sugar? It may be a tough habit to break
because sugar helps relieve stress, a new study suggests.
The study, published in the Endocrine Societys Journal of
Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, found that those who
drank sugar sweetened beverages over a 12-day period of time
had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol when exposed to
a stressful math test than those who drank aspartame-sweetened
beverages. And they had less of a stress response in the brain on
MRI screening.
The authors concluded that varying levels of sugar
consumption may be a reason that people react differently to
stressful situations. They also suggest that there are healthier
ways to deal with stress than with sugar.
INTERESTING FACT
Hate hay fever? Preliminary research suggests that those
who suffer from the spring and summer scourge are less
likely to develop cancer, perhaps because of the immune
stimulating effect of the condition.

LOral Paris Advanced Suncare Invisible Protect Clear Cool Lotion SPF
30 Beauty-boosting antioxidants have made their way into your sunscreen. In
addition to providing long-lasting UV protection, this never-sticky clear lotion
is infused with vitamin E to help skin retain its natural moisture. A combination
of grapeseed, shea, sea buckthorn and sunfower seed oils work below the
surface of the skin to keep it looking healthy and youthful.
This clear lotion is water-resistant for 80 minutes and has
an instant cooling effect when applied, reducing skin
temperature by 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
$9.99, LorealParisUSA.com and mass market retailers
Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Spray SPF 30

This innovative sport spray delivers broad-spectrum
protection in a cool, comfortable formula with
no greasy after-feel. The all-new MICROMESH
technology allows perspiration to pass through the
sunscreen and evaporate without compromising
the SPF protection you are getting. Cool Dry Sport
leaves skin feeling great and provides sweat and
water-resistant protection from the suns rays for 80
minutes. $9.99, Neutrogena.com for stores
Osmosis Harmonized Water UV Neutralizer

Is drinkable SPF the future of sun protection? Similar to how noise-canceling headphones work, this
chemical-free purifed water formula cancels out UV-damaging rays by delivering vibrational waves to the
skin for up to three hours of sun protection (including protection for your eyes major bonus!). Early trials
of this product show favorable results, but we recommend being extra safe and continuing to use topical
sunscreen if you plan on spending time in the sun. $30, OsmosisSkincare.com
100% Pure Everywhere SPF 30 Stick for Face and Body

Gone are the days of thick residues from natural
sunscreens. This no-mess stick for face and body gives
you UVA/UVB protection while leaving skin feeling
moisturized. This chemical-free sunscreen is ideal for
sensitive skin, and its fast-absorbing formula spreads on
easily for fuss-free application. $35, 100PercentPure.com
Did You Know?
Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers.

Current estimates are that one in fve Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
Melanoma, a more dangerous type of skin cancer, will account for more than
73,000 cases of skin cancer in 2015.
Over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other types
of cancer combined.
One person dies every hour from melanoma, totaling nearly 10,000 deaths in 2013.
Just one bad burn in childhood increases the risk of developing melanoma later in life.
Melanoma is the number one cancer killer of women in their 20s.
Skin cancer is most deadly for African Americans, Asians and Latinos.

The Dish
on Vitamin D
Vitamin D, often referred to

as The Sunshine Vitamin,
is essential for staying strong
and healthy. The American
Academy of Dermatology
(AAD) does not recommend
getting vitamin D from sun
exposure or indoor tanning
due to the increased risk of
developing skin cancer.
Very few foods (with the
exception of cod liver oil and
some fatty fshes) contain
the amount of vitamin D
recommended by the Institute
of Medicine, so supplementing
may be the way to go with this
essential nutrient.
Max Muscle recommends
Max Neutraceuticals Vitamin
D 1,000 IU. $5.99 for 100
soft-gels.
Sunscreen 101
Choosing the right sunscreen can help reduce your risk of skin cancer,
including melanoma. Here are some things to look for on the label.
Broad-Spectrum. Means the product protects the skin from both
ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.
Sunscreen vs. Sunblock. Since no lotion, spray or cream can block
the sun entirely, manufacturers can no longer identify their products as
sunblocks.
Water-Proof vs. Resistant. Sunscreens can no longer claim to be
sweat- and water-proof, so youll see the terms sweat- and waterresistant on product labels. This protective warning is meant to remind
you to reapply after swimming and sweating.
How long am I protected? Sunscreens must now reveal the amount
of time you are safely protected (e.g., 40 minutes) from UV rays while
swimming and/or sweating based on standard testing.
SPF rating. The SPF rating on the bottle actually applies to UVB rays
ONLY (rays that cause sunburn). Some experts believe that there is
little-to-no additional beneft in products with SPF ratings higher than 50.
In fact, a proposed FDA regulation may require sunscreen products with
SPF values higher than 50 to be labeled as SPF 50+. Others disagree.
The jury is still out on this one, but you will see some sunscreens have
already moved to labeling their products this way.
New Sunscreen Ingredients on the Horizon
On November 29th, 2014, President Obama signed the bipartisan Sunscreen Innovation Act into law, which
provides timelines for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to review new sunscreen ingredients. These ingredients
(Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M to name a couple) have been used safely and effectively in Europe for many years and
offer signifcantly more defense against harmful UV rays.
Wondering why the United States is so behind the times on this one? Sunscreens are reviewed in the same manner
as drugs (not cosmetics) by the FDA, which is a more stringent process. Until recently, some of these new ingredients
have been sitting in backlog for years waiting to be reviewed! The new law gives the FDA up to 270 days to
determine if the new sunscreen ingredients are generally recognized as safe and effective.
Hopefully, youll see sunscreen brands in the United States fnally able to add these new ingredients to products by
next summer!

Your Summer
Slimdown Plan
BY MATT COOPER, CFNC
SUMMER OFFICIALLY STARTS JUNE 21ST. Are you ready?

Before you head for beaches, outdoor sports, BBQs and pool parties,
check in with yourself. Where are you right now with your health and
ftness goals? Have you been working hard all year? If so, congrats
youve been able to make health and ftness a habit. As for the
rest of you, did something keep you from reaching your goals?
Did life happen and your schedule couldnt coexist with your
goals? Maybe a little procrastination snuck itself in there.
Whatever the case may be, weve got a simple, yet
effective training regimen for you to get back on the right
track. While this is not a comprehensive training program,
this plan is plenty good and monumentally better than
having no plan at all. So feel free to use this booster shot to
jumpstart your training to see you into summer.
1. SET A GOAL: First, begin by asking yourself what your long-term goal is starting now.
Then pick your frst checkpoint (i.e. six week summer slimdown). Start thinking of things you can
do every day to push you closer to your goal, and go from there.
2. MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE: Chances are you might be reading this article because
you need a kick in the pants but dont want to be overwhelmed by a massive program. After
establishing some goals, its time to consolidate your plan into something manageable
given the short time frame of getting your body ready for summer. This accounts for
outside variables to ensure you dont become a victim of your own circumstances. Be
realistic, states personal trainer Mark Leiker (@marionallstarz) of Stamina Fitness in
San Anselmo, CA. Factor your current status versus time. Set check-point goals
within your time frame on track to your ultimate goal. Set S.M.A.R.T. (specifc,
measurable, action, realistic, time-bound) goals to hold yourself accountable.
3. CONSISTENCY: Making progress, especially with a time frame in
mind, will require consistency. Whether its nutrition or training, it will take
hard work, consistency and patience, says nutrition coach and trainer
Ritz Guggiana (@nutra_ritz) of Warehouse Fitness, in Rohnert Park, CA.
Remember Rome wasnt built overnight, but there was progress made
every single day.
4. TRAIN SMARTER & HARDER: Just because the time frame is
shorter, doesnt mean the principle foundations of your training regimen
should suffer. Dont disregard the fundamental movements and skip the
get-ripped-quick gimmicks. Work on the fundamental movements (push,
pull, hinge, squat and ground work), and each workout will improve
overall movement quality, maintains strength and conditioning coach,
Taylor Lewis (@tlstrength), of San Rafael, CA. If pressed for time, follow
the sample workouts provided in this article.
5. DONT OVERSHOOT: Be cognizant of training balance; dont seek
to overcompensate for your weaknesses by cutting out foundational training
elements. Global trainer Chris Albert (@warriorsoulftness) of Redlands, CA
warns that overtraining lagging body parts can actually further exacerbate
existing imbalances and is potentially problematic.

Riding
the Wave
Get in awesome shape for surfng by following

these great tips and workout!
BY KELLY GONZALEZ
Nick Nevarez
HOW MANY TIMES have you sat

on the beach and watched a surfer
effortlessly dance upon the waves?
Have you ever yearned to experience
the rush of riding a wave for yourself?
Now is the time to get off the beach and
into the ocean.
For beginners, surfng can feel more
like foundering when youre starting
out. Just getting your board through
the surf and paddling out can be a
workout in itself. You may never be
able to fully prepare for or control what
Mother ocean will present to you each
day, but proper training on land can
help ensure you stay afoat and enjoy
your surfng experience.
Former pro surfer and elite athlete
trainer for Hydro-Kinetics Fitness,
Nick Nevarez, specializes in surf
JUNE 2015
the ocean. Prep for your frst surf or

improve your surfng technique with
key exercises using a stability ball.
Here are fve moves he suggests you
should try if you want to get in great
shape for surfng. All you need is a
yoga mat and a stability ball:
ftness and conditioning. Surf specifc

physical training incorporates a myriad
of exercises to strengthen the core.
The hips and transverse abdominals
are crucial in surfng, says Nevarez.
Stability through the core and strong
powerful hips are essential.
Nevarezs training modality of choice
is a stability ball, as it effciently
challenges your core and simulates
the unstable conditions youll face in
PLANK PUSHUPS:
1. Begin in pushup position with hands
on the mat, shoulder-width apart, and
your feet on top pressing into the ball.
2. Engage your core by drawing your
belly button in towards your spine and
tucking your hips.
3. Keep your core engaged and hips
stable as you bend your elbows and
lower your chest 1-2 inches from the
mat.
4. Powerfully, press up to start position
while maintaining stability on the ball.
hands on the mat, shoulder-width apart,

and feet on top pressing into the ball.
2. Push into your hands and feet as
you roll over your toes and lift your
hips high into a pike position.
3. Bend your elbows and perform a
handstand pushup.
4. With control, lower your hips and
roll through full spinal fexion.
5. Return to the start position and
repeat.
SURFER POP
1. Begin in pushup position with your
hands on the mat, shoulder-width
apart, and your feet on top pressing
into the ball.
2. Perform 3 quick pushups.
3. Immediately, kick the ball away and
land standing with your feet staggered
as if you were on the board.
WINDMILL STRETCH
1. Stand with your feet wider than hip
distance apart.
2. Hinge over at the waist, put your
right fngertips on the ground and twist
through your midsection as you send
your left arm up towards the sky.
3. Keep your spine long, head in line
with your spine.
4. Repeat on the other side.
More than a Rush
While catching a wave can be

exhilarating, being in the ocean offers
benefts that go beyond the adrenaline

rush. I go out there [into the water]
with questions. Im always answered,
says Nevarez.
Being in the water can help your
thoughts slow down, put life matters
into perspective, and also help you
become less reactive. Hence, the
laid-back surfer reputation. Ive
lost 3 phones in the ocean during
long distance paddles, says Jaime
Moreno, a stand-up paddleboard and
ftness instructor in Hermosa Beach,
California. Things I used to get
upset about dont bother me as much
anymore.
What lessons does the ocean have
for you? Youll have to take the plunge
and ride the wave to fnd out.
Before You Go
Before you step foot in the ocean, get

familiar with your environment. Mike
Murphy, an Ocean Lifeguard Specialist
in Los Angeles County advises
beachgoers to seek out the guard on
duty and get informed before diving in.
Rip currents are a primary concern,
says Murphy. The lifeguard on duty can
point out trouble zones, and let you
know where its safe to surf.
Also, remain humble and stick to
small crumbling waves when starting
out. And lastly, learn the basics and
surf with an experienced surfer or hire
a coach. MS&F
SPIDER PULL-INS:
1. Begin in pushup position with your
hands on the mat, shoulder-width
apart, and your feet on top pressing
into the ball
2. Lift one leg up off the ball. Stabilize
yourself on the ball as you pull the
knee in towards your elbow. Contract
the outer glute and aim to have your
inner thigh parallel to the ground.
3. With control, replace your foot on
the ball and repeat on the other side.
JACKHAMMER PUSHUP:
This is an excellent move to help you
get through the surf. The spinal fexion
in this move mimics the duck dive,
sink-under (the wave) and pull-through
(when you come up through the wave),
says Nevarez.

Ten Life
Lessons
from the
Ocean
BY KELLY GONZALEZ
1. Be the observer. In order to get

past the break successfully you have
to watch the patterns of the waves,
look for channels and go when the time
is right so you save your energy for
catching waves rather than struggling to
get out past the break.
In life, its important to listen and
watch rather than just act. You can
waste precious energy doing the same
thing and failing over and over again.
Through observance and introspection
we open ourselves up to growth and
change creating the awareness to
choose differently.
2. Its tough getting started.

Whether its starting an exercise
program, a business or a new
relationship, getting started can be the
toughest part. Waking up early, tugging
on a sometimes-still damp wetsuit and
tackling the waves requires a lot of
effort and motivation, but once you
get out on the water, hear nothing but
the waves crashing and catch your frst
wave, you know it was all worth it.
In life, we all have to go through
undesirable obstacles. Dont let those
obstacles stand in the way of your goal.
Youll miss out on the best rides of your
life if you stay on shore.
3. Let go of control and go

with the fow. You cant control the
conditions of the ocean, just like you

cant control life or others. By letting
go of control in the water you may
start letting go of thoughts, feelings,
people and situations that are weighing
you down emotionally. When you stop
struggling and fghting for control, you
foat.
JUNE 2015
of the experience. Getting back on

your board every time you fall builds
resilience and character.
4. Reserve your energy and

wait for the right wave. Waves
can be deceiving. Sometimes it looks
like the perfect wave so you furiously
start paddling, only for the wave to
roll beneath you and pass you by.
Opportunities are a lot like waves. If you
go for every one that rolls in youll be
exhausted and unable to catch the right
wave when it comes. Have patience, be
the observer, reserve your energy and
wait for right opportunity to present
itself. Believe in yourself and have faith
that it will.
5. You have to lean over the

edge. If you want to catch a wave
you have to lean over the edge. Many
people tend to scoot too far back on
their boards out of fear of nose-diving,
but know that youre going to nose-dive
from time to time. If you sit back and
expect the wave to do all the work youll
be left disappointed. The same goes
for life. If you expect your goals to just
happen or rely on someone else to do
the work for you, then youll be waiting
for a long time.
6. When you fall, get back up.

Heres the truth: youre probably going
to falla lot. But with every fall you
learn something new. Falling is part
7. You cant always play it safe.

If you paddle too far out past the
break youll never catch a wave. You
cant always play it safe. You have to
take risks. Dont be afraid to go for the
opportunities that seem the scariest.
They normally turn out to be the best.
8. There are sharks out there.

There are sharks out there, just like
there are dangerous people in this
world. You have to be careful, but you
cant let it stop you from pursuing your
goals.
9. Ground yourself and just

hold on. When a wave is crashing and
you cant go over it or cant duck or dive
beneath it, you may have to ditch your
board and ground yourself by digging
your hands into the ocean foor and
holding on. Whenever life gets tough,
ground yourself by doing what makes
you happy. Hold on to the positive and
know that the negative feelings and
obstacles will pass.
10. Fully commit to the wave.

If you decide to take a wave, you have
to fully commit. If you stop paddling too
soon youll never catch a ride. The same
goes for your dreams in life. You have to
put your heart, body, mind and soul into
chasing them. MS&F

The Weekend Binge
Don't let a weekend spent racking up the calories ruin your dieting eforts
during the week. Pay attention and stay strong! BY JENNY BROERS
DO YOU FEEL like youre always on a diet, but never making progress?
Chances are your weekends are to blame. Many people on nutrition
programs start their week off well. They track their macros and prepare
most, in not all, of their meals at home. But, by the time Friday night rolls
around, they are ready to reward themselves for sticking to their meal
plan and celebrate.
I was guilty of this. My typical weekend meal would consist of
eating half of an appetizer, spinach and artichoke dip, followed by
festa lime chicken, and topped off by sharing a chocolate chip
cookie sundae. I knew my meal wasnt healthy but I never
researched the nutritional information...until now.
According to the restaurant's website, spinach and
artichoke dip from Applebee's contains 830 total calories
(490 from fat), 1,930 milligrams of sodium and 69 grams
of carbohydrates. Fiesta lime chicken contains 1,310 total
calories (690 from fat), 3,400 milligrams of sodium and
100 grams of carbohydrates.
Add in half of the chocolate chip cookie sundae (700
calories, 103 grams of carbohydrates and 70 grams
of sugar just for half!) and my meal equals 2,425
total calories and three days worth of my current
allotment for carbohydrates. Talk about a cheat
meal! Consider the rest of your weekend meals
following this pattern and its easy to see where the
extra pounds start to sneak up.
Its frustrating to consistently make sacrifces,
turn down delicious food at work lunches, exercise
regularly, eat well; avoid soda, alcohol and sugary drinks,
and still gain weight.
Identifying the problem is half the battle. Here are some tips for
surviving the weekend, meal plan intact.
1. Do your research ahead of time. Most restaurants have
nutritional information for their menus posted online. Even
healthy looking choices like salads can be inundated with calories
and sugar. Help yourself make a good choice by browsing the
nutritional information ahead of time and walk into the restaurant
with a plan that fts your goals.
2. Ask for a to-go box when your meal arrives. Correctly
portion your servings according to your macros and put the
remaining food in the box. Boxing up your extras ahead of
time will help avoid mindless overeating.
3. Avoid letting a cheat meal become a binge or a
cheat weekend. Perhaps its better to think of it as a cheat
item. Have a drink, or your favorite main dish, or dessert
not all three. One small indulgence isnt going to completely
derail your progress, but multiple allowances will catch up
with you quickly.
When the weekend approaches, continue to be mindful of
your goals. Dont let an hour of overindulgence counteract
an entire week of hard work. Your discipline and sacrifces
will pay off in the future if consistently prioritize what you
want most over what you crave now. MS&F

For the next several months, Crissy made great
strides to reclaiming her health. She hired trainer
George Tovar and he introduced her to Sam

about quality Max Muscle supplements and
good nutrition. The staff was always friendly
and encouraging, and Crissy immediately felt

It took a long time for Crissy to learn to believe

Seven Reasons
To Go To a Farmers Market
BY LINDA HEPLER, BSN, RN
HAVE YOU BEEN to a farmers

market lately? According to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), farmers
markets have never been more popular.
Since 1994, when the agency began
publishing the National Directory of
Farmers Markets, which lists all markets
known to operate in the country, the
listings have gone from a mere 1,755 to
a whopping 8,268!
But as the farm-to-table, local-food
movement is gaining momentum
in homes, restaurants and schools
throughout the nation, the reality
is that supercenters like Walmart
capture a full fourth to half of the $550
billion Americans spend each year on
groceries.
JUNE 2015
And its easy to see why. With todays

busy lifestyles, parents schlepping
between work and a myriad of after
school activities one stop shopping
has its appeal. Whats easier than being
able to buy toiletries, school supplies,
clothing, hardware items and your
groceries all in one place, and be
done with it for a week or two?
But there are great reasons to try
to carve out the time to attend a local
farmers market near you as often as
possible, according to food experts.
Here are seven:
1. FOOD SAFETY. When you take

a look at major food recalls, in every
instance, there are just too many
bodies handling the food, said Lee

Lichtenwalner, owner along with wife
Dawn of Dandelion Lane Farm in
Northeast Ohio.
Just this year, according to
Lichtenwalner, foods containing
spinach contaminated with Listeria
monocytogenes that were sold at a
number of major retailers, including
Target, Costco and Wegmans, were
recalled, necessitating a long and
complex federal investigation into the
source of contamination to determine
whether it happened at a particular
farm or at one of several food
processing plants.
On the highest level, the advantages
of buying at farmers markets is the
relative traceability and transparency

of the food supply chain, said Rachel
Greenberger, Director of Food Sol, an
action tank for food entrepreneurs and
eater entrepreneurs at Babson College
in Massachusetts. Because production
is closer by and tends to have a human
face, not just the side of a box on the
shelf, eaters are increasingly feeling
that local sources are more trustworthy
and easier to comprehend than those
of the multinational producers where
components of the end product may
have touched 5-6 continents on the
lengthy journey to plate, and thus
possibly have been handled in suspect
circumstances, she explained.
2. PRODUCE FRESHNESS AND

QUALITY. News fash: fresh produce
is alive. For a short period of time after
it has been removed from the plant,
said Monique Richard, MS, RDN, LDN,
a licensed and registered dietitian
nutritionist and owner of NutritionIn-Sight, it continues the metabolic
activity that allowed it grow in the
feld. This occurs through a process
called respiration, which involves the
oxidation of sugars to produce carbon

dioxide, water and heat.
The storage life of the produce is
affected by its respiratory activity, and
those crops with higher respiration
rates, like sweet corn, spinach, peas,
okra, snap beans and strawberries
perish more quickly than those with low
respiratory rates, such as apples, beets,
potatoes and watermelon.
Proper harvesting and storage
conditions, such as when the food
is picked, how its cleaned and what
temperature and level of humidity
its stored in can reduce the rate of
respiration water loss but this only
slows the rate of deterioration and
extends shelf life to a degree. So buying
produce at a farmers market, a day
or two after harvest rather than two
weeks post-picking assures optimum
produce quality. When you limit the
time between picking the produce and
eating it, you arent compromising favor
and nutrition, said Richard.
3. REDUCTION OF CARBON
FOOTPRINT. For an increasingly
eco conscious society, were wasteful
Dos and Don'ts at a Farmers Market
DO
Ask questions. Farmers are happy to answer questions, even if theres a crowd. This is his or her
opportunity to tell you about the products you see and establish a relationship with you.
Look around before buying, at least until you have the lay of the land. Think through
whats important to you when buying. Do you want only products that are organic, those that are as cheap
as possible, the biggest and best looking? If you take a spin around the market before settling on your choice, youll be able to hone
in on your priorities. After a few trips to market, youll be able to narrow your vendor preferences to one or two who consistently have
what you need at an affordable price.
Bring your own bag. Vendors will happily supply bags for your items, but its great to do your part for the environment with a
few mesh or breathable cloth bags for your produce.
Bring cash. While many vendors accept credit or debit purchases and checks, farmers market vendors are small business
operators, and as such, may not want to invest in equipment and accounts that allow them to take credit cards. And many vendors are
reluctant to accept checks, unless theyre local.
Be early. The old adage the early bird gets the worm holds true for farmers markets. Its impossible for vendors to predict market
attendance or interest in a particular item that day, so as the day goes on, he or she may run out of certain items.
Ask whether the produce was picked this morning. Of course you
want to know whether your kale is fresh. But think about it. If the market opens
at 8 a.m., and it took an hour or two to load the truck, an hour for the farmer to
drive to market and an hour or two to set up, at what point in the morning did
he or she have time to pick a several bushels of tomatoes and beans, 100 pints of blueberries, or 10 dozen eggs? Even if it is a small
market, it takes many hours and often many hands to harvest. Most farmers market produce is picked a day or two before market,
stored in ideal conditions, then loaded in the cool of morning to go to market.
Ask for early sales. Farmers markets have certain hours for a reason. It takes a long time for farmers to unload their products
and set up their booths. Early sales may prevent your farmer to be ready for the opening of the market.
Ask for a special deal at the end of market. Farmers markets arent Priceline.com. Your hard working farmer has set the
price needed in order to make a living and pay the bills. Leftover produce is typically sold to restaurants or given to a food bank, so
you neednt worry it will go to waste. That said, if you are buying produce in bulk for canning or freezing, some farmers will cut you
a break.
JUNE 2015

with energy when it comes to food

production, according to a 2010 report
by the Department of Agricultures
Economic Research Service. The report
indicated that food related energy use
is growing at a rapid pace as the food
industry relies on more energy intensive
technologies to produce food.
Food distribution is a large of the
problem, too. In a University of Iowa
study, researchers found that the
distance conventionally sold food
traveled was an average of 27 times
farther than that of local foods sold
at a farmers market. So it makes
sense to reduce the amount of food
miles, or the carbon impact associated
with moving food long distances in
refrigerated trucks, said Greenberger.
4. SUPPORT OF LOCAL
ECONOMY/WAY OF LIFE. Who
doesnt want to support their local
businesses and communities? Buying
locally not only supports the small
farmer, but nearby businesses. Farmers
markets have been shown to increase
spending at neighboring shops and
stores; one study found that as many
as 63 percent of patrons at farmers
markets planned to do other errands in
the area that day.
And if you live in a rural area where
agriculture is a way of life and the
heart of the community, you can
preserve both farmland and the way of
life of those living on the land. Many
previously agricultural communities
have given way to urban development
when small farmers have been unable
to make a living by competing with
large scale farms that practice industrial
agriculture.
5. EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
When is the last time you were able to
ask a big box supermarket associate
what a particular vegetable is, how it
was grown and processed, what the
nutritional value is and how to cook
it? Chances are that you wont get the
answer. But at a farmers market, said
Lichtenwalner, you can interact face to
face with the grower and ask questions.
While there is no guarantee (other
than if the grower is Certifed Organic
or Certifed Naturally Grown) that the
farmer grows organically, at least you
can ask what types of herbicides and
pesticides are used on the food, what
the animals are fed and how the food
or meat is processed. Farmers markets
JUNE 2015
have varying rules about whether farm

vendors may sell food that has not been
grown on that farm, but most have a
stipulation that if the farmer is reselling
food grown on another farm, he or she
must have a written statement to that
effect and also should be able to tell
you how that food is grown.
You can challenge yourself to get
outside of your food preference comfort
zone by asking questions about food
that is unfamiliar to you, too and
trying it. Ask a farmer about what they
eat among the produce on the stand,
and youre in for a long discussion
about food, said Lichtenwalner.
Most farmers will tell you that theyve
tried everything that they sell. And
many can give you a sample, even a
recipe or two for preparing your fnds.
6. UNIQUE PRODUCTS. It doesnt

pay for large supermarkets or chain
stores like Wal-Mart to carry unusual
fruits and vegetables; they are able
to offer low prices by buying the most
commonly purchased foods in bulk. But
at the farmers market youre likely to
see unusually colored produce like blue
potatoes, lavender caulifower, black
Spanish radishes, blonde cucumbers,
and white beets, to name just a few.
And youll see unusual items that small

farmers enjoy growing in order to
attract customers. Things like kalettes,
a cross between kale and Brussels
sprouts, or Mexican sour gherkins, one
inch cukettes with a sweet cucumber
favor and tangy citrus twist.
7. ADDED VALUE. When you think

of a farmers market, its likely youre
thinking primarily of produce. But youll
also fnd, depending upon the market,
jams and jellies, honey, maple syrup,
milk, eggs, meat, cheese, fsh, breads,
noodles, baked goods and prepared
ethnic foods as well as handcrafted
items like soap and candles. Many
markets also offer educational booths,
entertainment even wine tasting!
And, since farmers markets are
community organized and run, there is
a sense of community cohesiveness you
wont fnd at your local chain grocery.
I think lots of people go to farmers
markets for the relationships, said Jess
Piskor, farmer at Bare Knuckle Farm
in Northport, Michigan. They can see
friends at the market, it becomes a
social event, a free space to talk. Then
they can share the story at home,
tell how they got the food for dinner.
MS&F
What's in
Season?
Sure, you can fnd peaches in

the supermarket all year long. But
the beauty of a farmers market is
that you are more in touch with
and able to appreciate what
is available locally during each
month. Eating the foods rich in
the season may mean trying a
new recipe, really admiring and
enjoying the tastes, favors and
textures of the season, being
grateful for the fruit of the earth,
claimed Monique Richard, MS,
RDN, LDN, a licensed and
registered dietitian nutritionist
and owner of Nutrition-In-Sight.
How to know whats in season?
Of course, you can go to the
farmers market each week
to fnd out. Or check out the
Seasonal Food Guide where you
can plug in your state and the
month and come up with a list at

Join Our Success Stories!
Whats the best way to use our Liquid

Egg Whites? Imagine a protein drink
that you can make taste like anything
you want, any time you want. Chocolate,
Vanilla, Ice Coffee, or just Orange Juice.
You name it! You are only limited by your
own imagination. Our All Natural, 100%
Pure Liquid Egg Whites are pasteurized,
Salmonella tested, USDA & Kosher
approved. Best of all, they are double
fltered to have the smooth consistency
of milk. You can literally take one cup of
our egg whites, and make the fuffest
omelet you have ever had. OR, take one
cup of our liquid egg whites, and add
some sugar free chocolate syrup, and
you would not know its not chocolate
milk. YES REALLY!
One 8-ounce cup of our liquid egg whites
supplies 26 grams of Pure protein, with
only 2 carbs., No Fat, No Cholesterol,
and only 120 calories. The worlds best
protein for losing or managing weight,
and for building muscle. Its also a great
protein for kids and adults with health
issues who dont get enough protein.
NOTE that this is not a supplement,
its a Real, All Natural FOOD.
How much protein should you
consume in a day? The average Active
person requires approximately 1 gram
of protein per pound of lean body weight
per day. Protein is the building block
for muscle growth as well as helping in
the battle against body fat. Liquid Egg
Whites are the perfect source of protein,
for Gastric bypass patients, athletes,
World Class Bodybuilders and everyone
in between!
How often do you use our Liquid Egg
Whites? We recommend a minimum of
t w i ce a da y.

soon as you
get up in the
morning,
and just before
bedtime.
For optimal
results keep
an extra bottle
of Liquid Egg
Whites at work for Children!
to enjoy their benefts
throughout the day!
Why take Liquid Egg Whites before
bedtime? Fitness enthusiasts have
known for decades that if you dont put
protein into your body before you go to
bed, your body will run out of protein
in the middle of the night. Once your
body digests all of its available proteins,
your body thinks it is starving itself.
To protect you, your body shuts down
and starts storing your own fat cells.
Your blood sugar still needs protein to
keep you going, so it starts consuming
the only protein source available at 3
am, your own muscle mass. Basically,
you are storing fat and eating muscle.
By drinking a high protein drink with
Pure Liquid Egg Whites just before you
go to bed, the egg protein will support
muscle growth for up to 4 to 5 hours.
Now the process is reversed for most of
your sleep time. Rather than storing fat
and eating muscle, the protein from the
Liquid Egg Whites, is allowing your body
to burn the fat at its normal rate while
building on the muscle. You will get
better nights sleep, and wake up more
alert and refreshed, and not as hungry in
the morning.

Reduce water retention and summer
swelling with anti-inflammatory cocktails.
BY ABBY HOEFFNER
WITH SUMMER HERE, its time

to embrace the changing season
and cleanse and rejuvenate our
bodies with lighter foods, juices
and smoothies. Healthy juices and
shakes are a convenient way to
reduce infammation, revitalize your
cells, combat bowel issues and lose
some of those winter pounds.
In a study by Georgia State
University microbiologist Benoit
Chassaing, researchers found that
common additives in processed
foods including ice cream,
margarine, packaged bread and
many more may promote the
infammatory bowel diseases,
ulcerative colitis and Crohns
disease, as well as a group of
obesity-related conditions.
Its not only intestinal problems;
low-grade infammation caused
by food additives has been shown
to contribute to weight gain and
blood sugar control problems, as
well as a host of other chronic
disease, said nutritionist Cherie
Calbom, author of The Juice
Ladys Anti-Infammation Diet
(JuiceLadyCherie.com), which offers
healthy meal options, smoothies
and robust juice recipes to help
people live an anti-infammation
lifestyle.
Yes, you can lose weight on
an anti-infammation diet and
rejuvenate your body, says
Calbom, who shared three of her
recipes with our readers. Plus, the
absence of water-retention will have
you revealing your hot summer bod

Hot Bod
Fruits of
Fr
Summe!
BY SUSAN IRBY
WARMER WEATHER means kissing

sweaters and cozy down overcoats
goodbye. Its summer: bring on the
sleeveless dresses, short sleeve shirts and
bikinis. Now, time to spread the good news.
There are four go-to fruits of summer that
promote a healthy body, glowing skin and
shiny hair. Best of all, these hot bod fruits
can be incorporated into your diet every
single day. Heres the fruit-abulous four and
a delicious recipe to get you started:
Watermelon a summer favorite,
watermelon contains on average 92
percent nutrient-packed water that not
only will keep you hydrated, but will
also help reduce infammation, improve
circulation and provide natural electrolytes
for the body. Studies show that drinking
watermelon juice before an intense
workout helps reduce muscle soreness the
next day. And, watermelon is high in fber,
fushing out unwanted toxins.
Avocado surprise, avocado boasts a
whopping 74 percent water and 2 grams
of protein per serving. Avocados are great
for the 3 Bs: brain health, strong bones
and healthy blood fow. Like watermelon,
avocado is high in fber and helps stave off
obesity with healthy living fats that burn fat
and clean out arteries.
Tomatoes with a water content
averaging 94 percent, tomatoes keep
hydration levels high while reducing cancer
risk with vital antioxidants. And, studies
from Ohio State University show that
eating tomatoes, specifcally tomato sauce,
and avocados together improves nutrient
absorption by 2 to 15 times.
Cucumber keep cool during your
workouts with naturally cooling, waterfriendly cucumbers, which have an
estimated 96 percent water content.
Cucumbers are the highest alkaline food
and they help regulate blood pressure,
promote healthy hair, skin and bones via
their naturally high silicon content a
proven aid in osteoporosis prevention.
Bonus non-fruit ingredient: Greek
yogurt contains probiotics, which help
reduce bikini busters like gas and bloating.

The Best
Supplements
for Men
BY KAREN MORSE, MPH
OVERWHELMED when
shopping for supplements?
You arent alone! The right
supplements replenish what
we lose during our workouts,
increase energy, boost heart
health and even make for a
better sex life. The wrong ones
can be ineffective and a waste
of money at best and even
harmful if taken incorrectly.
We consulted with our Max
Muscle Sports Nutrition experts
and sifted through the latest
research to bring you the best
supplements for men. Take our
advice, along with guidance
from your doctor, to decide
whats best for you.
JUNE 2015
Men ages 40 and older may need a

natural testosterone enhancer to help
with energy, endurance and vitality,
explains Larry Wilcox, CFNC. If youve
been diagnosed with Low-T, talk to
your doctor about supplementing with
2TX, a natural testosterone amplifer
from Max Muscle.
Vitamin E
How it works: Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in

the body helping to protect cells against free radical
damage. We also need vitamin E to boost our immune
systems so we can fght off viruses and bacteria. In the
Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) funded by the
National Eye Institute, researchers found that people at
high risk for developing advanced stages of age-related
macular degeneration (the leading cause of blindness in
adults over age 55) could lower their risk by 25 percent
when treated with a high-dose combination of vitamin
E, vitamin C, beta-carotene and zinc.
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for
vitamin E is 15 mg/d, but doses not exceeding 1,000
mg/d are considered safe according to the Institute of
Medicine (IOM).
Vitamin C
How it works: Though it is probably the most

popular antioxidant around and foods rich in this
nutrient are plentiful, studies report that adults in
the United States still arent getting enough vitamin
C in their diets. The body needs vitamin C to make
collagen and it is essential for wounds to heal properly.
Vitamin C also has super immune-boosting properties,
protecting the body from all types of diseases.
Some studies show that vitamin C can help prevent
upper respiratory infections in endurance athletes
and reduce the duration of a cold up to a few days,
but other studies have shown no beneft when tested
against a placebo.
The RDA for adult males is 90 mg/day, which you
should fnd in a good multivitamin.
Vitamin D
How it works: According to leading experts, vitamin

D defciency has become a major problem. The major
source of this vital nutrient is sun exposure, which has
been deemed more of a risk due to the threat of skin
cancer. The main role of vitamin D is to help the body
absorb calcium to strengthen bones and prevent bone
loss. Other studies have linked low vitamin D levels to
weight gain, symptoms of depression
and issues below the belt such as
low sperm motility and erectile
dysfunction.
The RDA for vitamin D is 600
International Units (IU) per day.
Your doctor may recommend
more if a blood test has
indicated that you have a
defciency.
For your vitamin needs, Max
Muscle recommends Max
Vit-Acell Antioxidant, which
provides 100 percent or more
of the RDA of vitamins C, D, E
and other essential vitamins,
as well as minerals and freeradical fghting antioxidants.
Conjugated
Linoleic
Acid
How it works:
Conjugated linoleic
acid (CLA) is a type of
unsaturated fatty acid
that has been shown
to have anti-cancer
benefts, improve
immunity and aid in the
prevention of hypertension. Studies have also found
that CLA helps people to reduce stubborn belly fat
when they exercise regularly. CLA is naturally found in
beef and in dairy products such as milk or yogurt, but
supplementing seems to be the more effective way of
achieving CLA levels that reduce body fat.
A Japanese study investigated the safety of
dietary CLA in obese men considered doses up to 3.4
g/day to be safe.
Max Muscle suggests Max CLA softgels.
L-Carnitine
How it works:
L-carnitine is
essential for
moving fatty
acids into the cell
mitochondria,
which is how your
body burns fat to
produce energy.
Due to the high
concentration
of l-carnitine
in skeletal and
cardiac muscle
tissues, it
also improves
cardiac output
and muscular
function. In addition to these roles,
l-carnitine may also have heartprotecting benefts. A Mayo Clinic
review of 13 controlled clinical
trials concluded that l-carnitine
had multiple benefts for previous
heart attack sufferers, including a
65 percent reduction in a type of
abnormal heart rhythm known as
ventricular arrhythmia and a 40
percent reduction in angina-related
symptoms.
The observed safe level (OSL) of
l-carnitine is up to 2,000 mg/day.
Max Muscle recommends
LiquiCarn (Liquid Carnitine
Concentrate), which has 1,250 mg of
fast-acting liquid l-carnitine in each
serving.
JUNE 2015
Protein
How it works: The

pancreas plays an
important role in digestion
and regulating blood sugar.
Protein is a foundational
product (in addition to fats
and carbs) that our body
needs to function at optimal
energy levels. The risk of
developing type II diabetes
is greater as we get older,
and an adequate intake of
protein helps keep blood
sugar levels steady.
Larry Wilcox, franchisee
and Certifed Fitness
Nutrition Caocht at Max
Muscle in Oregon City,
Oregon, tells us that one of
the most important things
we can do every day to
control blood sugar is to
mix protein, carbohydrates
and fat together every time
we eat and decrease our
carbohydrate intake slightly
with every meal after
breakfast. Keep in mind,
Wilcox says, the largest
meal of the day is breakfast
and the smallest is dinner,
and eat every three hours
whether you are hungry or
not.
Wilcox recommends
about 3/4 gram of protein
per pound of ideal body
weight daily, divided up
into about 5 small meals.
Max Muscle
recommends MaxPro
protein with 30g of protein
per serving. MS&F

body is like a car. If you want it to
run at its best, you need to fuel it
the right way. If you want premium

created to fulfll a specifc need: to give
you the right ammo to diesel-power
your performance!
JUNE 2015
PRE WORKOUT: FBX 2.0
Lets kick this off in chronological order

with the right antidote for your preexercise training: FBX 2.0. FBX 2.0
is the next evolution in pre-workout
technology. Improving upon the original
Full Blown Extreme formula, FBX 2.0
is the culmination of the newest and
most current pre-training sports-science
developed to blast your muscles with
energy-producing fuel, added mental
acuity, better vasodiolation (blood fow),
maximum intensity and the optimization
of fuid and electrolyte levels.
FBX 2.0 contains the most clinically
proven ingredients that have been
extensively researched and tested for
potent pre-workout performance. The
proprietary blends in FBX 2.0 include
three key patented ingredients in the
effcacious amounts to ensure maximum
potency and effect. The formula is
driven by clinically-validated doses of
1.5 grams of AGMass Agmatine Sulfate,
3.2 grams of CarnoSyn Beta-Alanine
and 2.5 grams of Creapure Creatine
Monohydrate, making it unparalleled in
comparison to any other pre-workout
formula currently available.
Nootropic, or mental energy, focus
and clarity ingredients, such as caffeine,
ginseng, vinpocetine and evodiamine
are added in the correct amounts, so
as to not counteract the physio-active
benefts of AGMass Agmatine Sulfate,
CarnoSyn Beta-Alanine and Creapure
Creatine Monohydrate. FBX 2.0 delivers
the precise blend and amounts of these
essential ingredients in order for you to
get the most out of your workouts.
Personal trainer Trevor Carter, 27,
of Bettendorf, Iowa, already has the
new FBX 2.0 as a lock in his training

regimen. He claims, The new

FBX 2.0 tastes good and gives
me energy; really helps my
endurance and focus throughout
the workout. I also like the pure
creatine and the fact that there is
no sugar! Kick-start your training
session with the best performanceenhancing cocktail available.
INTRA WORKOUT:
PRO BCAA
If FBX 2.0 is the performanceenhancing cocktail, Pro BCAA is

the anabolic Kool-Aid you need
to enhance performance and
recovery, providing your muscles
with the protective shield they
need. Pro BCAA by Max Muscle is
a scientifcally-based formula that
provides the body with highpotency branched-chain amino
acids (BCAAs) in the ideal 2:1:1
ratio of leucine, isoleucine and
valine.
As a versatile formula, Pro BCAA
is specifcally designed to beneft
both pre-, intra and post-workouts.
For the pre and intra workout, this
powerful formula is engineered to
support the energy fuels needed
for high intensity and endurance
workouts. For the post workout, it
functions to support rapid recovery,
muscle anabolism and anti-catabolic
effects. Leucine, valine and isoleucine
are known to be highly concentrated
in muscles (35 percent) and have
been shown to serve as important fuel
sources for skeletal muscles during
periods of high-intensity exercise. My
recovery window shortens noticeably
when I take Pro BCAA, attests Gabriele
Brusamarello, 23, a regular customer of
Max Muscle Petaluma and Marin, CA. I
never skip Pro BCAA when I train.

Trevor Carter, 27, relies on Max Muscles

ARM for maximum recovery, Pro BCAAs
and, just recently, FBX 2.0 to get him

Researchers from the Universidad de Alicante, Spain
conducted a literature review on the current state of the
effect of consumption of dietary BCAA supplements in
endurance sports and its effects on muscle damage,
athletic performance, central fatigue, anabolic signals
during recovery and immune system response published
in any country until May 2014. Out of 330 studies

WHEY PROTEIN ENHANCES

MUSCLE ANABOLISM, FAT LOSS

Researchers from the School of Kinesiology, Auburn University examined

the effects of different dietary protein sources on skeletal muscle, adipose
tissue and satiety-related markers. Wistar rats were given either a) whey
protein concentrate; b) 70:30 whey-to-egg protein; c) 50:50 whey-to-egg
protein; d) 30:70 whey-to-egg protein; and or e) water with no protein
as a fasting control. Skeletal muscle analyses revealed that compared to
the controls a signifcant increase in mTOR signaling and muscle protein
synthesis in all protein groups with the greatest increase
in the whey protein concentrate group. Researcher
concluded that higher amounts of whey versus
egg protein stimulates the greatest posttreatment anabolic skeletal muscle response,
though test proteins with higher amounts
of whey protein more favorably affected
post-treatment markers related to adipose
tissue lipolysis and satiety. (Mobley CB, Fox

BURNING
A BOOST
BY PETE CICCONE, IFBB PRO
In the world of sports nutrition and

food supplements, the broad product
category of diet or fat loss is by
far the most popular, biggest-selling
product category on the shelves of your
local supplement store. Heres a quick
guide to help you better understand
what you may not even realize youre
looking for!
Which Fat-Burner Is Right for You?

Losing weight isnt easy. Choosing a fatburning supplement can be even harder.
With hundreds to choose from, it can be
downright confusing. The good news is,
JUNE 2015
fat-burner pills do work (at least some of

them!) and they can help you get rid of
ugly, unsightly body fat faster than diet
and exercise alone. Before you choose
the product, you must frst choose the
type of fat burner that will suit you best.
Every body is different, so you need to
fnd the fat burner that will get your
body the best results possible.
Fat burning supplements can be
broken down into three categories:
Stimulant-based fat burners
Thermogenic (stimulant- or nonstimulant-based)
Stimulant- and Thermogenic-free
Stimulant-Based Fat Burners

A stimulant based fat burner will give
you a solid burst of energy and really
get you going in the gymand anywhere
else. Stimulant-based fat burners
are composed of any of a variety of
herbal or synthetic compounds called
sympathomimetics, which means
they mimic, prolong or stimulate the
bodys adrenal hormones: epinephrine
and norepinephrine. By functioning
like epinephrine or norepinephrine,
stimulant-based products help burn
fat through two different mechanisms:
lipolysis and increased calorie
expenditure.
Lipolysis: Epinephrine and

norepinephrine are chemical messengers
that are part of the sympathetic
nervous system. These hormones are
responsible for the bodys response
mechanism, called fght or fight.
During periods of intense emotional or
physical stress, or when stimulant-based
fat burners are ingested, a reactionary
chain of biochemical events take place
in the body, hence the fght or fight
response.
Fight or Flight?
What does that mean, from a
biological standpoint? As a part of the
evolutionary process, we are hard-wired
by Mother Nature to able to react and
survive stressful, dangerous situations.
During times of extreme physical or
emotional stress, the adrenal fght
or fight hormones, epinephrine and
nor-epinephrine, are injected from our
adrenal glands into the bloodstream.
These chemicals target multiple body
cells, causing an adaptive excitatory
state.
For example, think of ancient man,
our caveman cousins. If our ancient
Neanderthal relatives were out hunting
and gathering, and their friendly
neighborhood Tyrannosaurus Rex
Increased calorie expenditure:

Secondly, stimulant-based fat
burners enable us to exercise more
productively, for longer or more intense
sessions than we might otherwise
be able to. Research has shown
that controlled use of stimulantbased fat-burners can aid in exercise
performance, and increase calorie
expenditure both during exercise
sessions and throughout the day by
supporting increased physical activity.
Some examples of sympathomimetic
or stimulant-based ingredients
commonly found in fat loss products
today include synephrine, coleus
forskohlii, green tea, theobromine,
caffeine and yohimbine.
Thermogenic Fat Burners
or saber-toothed tiger happened to

stumble upon them, their bodies were
also programmed to react to this fght
or fight situation.
Pupils widen so our ancient cousins
could see more of their environment;
increased heart rate and blood pressure
push more blood and oxygen into
the muscles so they could run faster
(or fght if need be); and the bodys
most powerful, concentrated source
of stored energy was released into the
bloodstream to fuel sustained physical
activity. Wait a minute, stored energy?
Yep, thats right! The adrenal
hormones facilitate the release of
fatty acids from stored body fat to
fuel sustained physical activity. These
physiological responses to epinephrine
and norepinephrine helped our ancient
cousins run faster, see and react to
their environment quicker, and survive
to evolve into our modern society. And
now, facing a health issue even bigger
than T-Rex or the saber-toothed tiger,
epinephrine and norepinephrine can
help us fght obesity. In other words,
stimulant-based fat burners work by
targeting the mobilization of fatty acids
from our adipocytes. Fatty acids can
then be burned at the cellular level to
fuel increased activity.
A thermogenic fat burner contains

ingredients that will raise the
bodys core temperature a small but
signifcant amount (thermo=heat,
genesis=creation of). Increasing the
bodys core temperature is a complex
task that typically involves supporting
the bodys major thermogenic
hormone, thyroid hormone. Increasing
the bodys core temperature will speed
up blood fow, increase your metabolic
rate (and calorie expenditure), and
improve circulation. You will also
likely sweat like you have never sweat
before!
Substances that impact our bodys
ability to activate thyroid hormone
include guggulsterones, 7-Keto DHEA,
L-Tyrosine, sesamin and others.

Stimulant-free & Thermogenic-free
This catch-all category includes any

of the many products that can impact
the energy-processing system in the
body, which governs our ability to either
store body fat or lose it. The storage
of excess energy in the form of fat
deposited into our adipocytes and
the counterbalance of this in the form
of the release of fatty acids can be
used by the cells of the body as fuel.
Other fat-loss agents include appetite
suppressant or mood-enhancing agents.
There are several natural substances
that can augment one or more of the
steps in either of these processes. We
are stimulated to eat by our appetites.
Controlling appetite can be a crucial
component to successful fat loss. Herbs
such as Hoodia, Garcinia Cambogia,
Glucomannan, Chocamine and others
can increase the feeling of satiety
and curb consumption of unnecessary
calories, thus contributing to potential
fat loss.
Other substances, such as CLA,
Sesamin, Raspberry Ketones and
essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) may
support the production of fat burning
enzymes to aid in the bodys natural
process of freeing up fatty acids from
our adipocytes, to potentially be burned
for fuel. L-Carnitine is an amino acid
that aids in the transport of fatty acids
into the power plants of the cells
(the mitochondria). By helping to
shuttle fatty acids to the fres inside the
mitochondria, more effective fat burning
can take place.
Still other non-stimulant fat
loss adjuncts help make the bodys
partitioning of nutrients (proteins,
carbohydrates and fats) more effcient.
Substances such as chromium
picolinate, fenugreek and gymnemma
sylvestre, work with insulin, the bodys
powerful gate-keeper hormone, to
partition nutrients into appropriate
cellular destinations hopefully, away
from our fat cells!
The physiology of fat loss is a
complex process involving nearly all
of the bodys systems. The endocrine,
hepatic, neurologic and digestive
systems have the greatest direct impact
on body fat levels. That being the case,
it should be the goal of any natural
fat loss intervention to target and
augment one or more of these specifc
body systems to optimize the internal
environment to maximize fat utilization.

a stimulant.
MiTOR is clearly not a stimulant, but rather supports the production of
chemical energy within the body to power all living processes. MiTOR
contains the finest Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) available in the world, Kaneka
Q10, and also includes the synergistic ingredients Adenosine, D-Ribose,
Alpha Lipoic Acid, Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ), Quercetin, Malic Acid and a
balanced blend of essential B-Complex Vitamins and Minerals.
MiTORs KEY FEATURES:

Mitochondrial Cellular Bioenergetics Formula
Supports Healthy Muscle Mitochondria Function
Promotes Cellular Oxidative Phosphorylation and
ATP Energy Production
Powerful Antioxidant to Reduce Oxidative Stress
By using MiTOR daily you can be assured that you are using
the most advanced and highest quality energy producing
formula available in the marketplace. You will notice the
difference within a few days of use. Best of all it supports the
natural energy production systems within the body and is
non-stimulant based. MiTOR is exclusively available
through Max Muscle Sports Nutrition.
