Nitric Oxide: Fact or Fiction?
We have all seen the advertisements, whether it be in Muscle and Fitness or at GNC, claiming they will increase performance, decrease recovery time, and promote muscle growth. But how much of this is true? Many of the supplements out there today rely highly on celebrity endorsements and mass marketing rather than solid scientific evidence. I recently read an article (Nitric Oxide Supplements for Sports) in the Strength and Conditioning Journal that proposed the question, how much science is behind these products? It was shocking to find out that with the exception of only one study, there is no published scientific studies to show that the dietary supplements currently marketed as “nitric oxide stimulators” have proven efficacy. So why are they so popular? It is in our nature to always be looking for that faster, better or easier way to achieve our goals. Next time you look through a fitness magazine keep a tally of how many advertisements are crammed in between those pages. This isn’t to say that all supplements out there are sugar pills, but be sure to ask yourself a couple questions before forking out your hard earned cash.

“Eat Right For Your Type” by Peter J. D’Adamo
One of my saddest memories as a 14 year old was watching my Grandpa die of liver cancer. Every Friday after school we would pack up and head to Spokane where we would visit him in the VA hospital knowing that he would not survive the horrible disease. One of my other memories about him was his extremely rare blood type. AB (Only 2-5% of the population share this blood type.)

“My Trainer” by Jessica Tyrrell, 2010 “Most Inspirational” Gold’s Gym Challenge Winner
This weekend I was out and about when I got stopped by someone to chat and during our conversation they asked me why I had a trainer when it seemed like I had enough motivation to keep going on my own. This lead me to my blog topic for the week and I think this is honestly one of the easiest things for me to talk about because I would recommend to everyone that they have a trainer. First of all I do understand that not everyone can afford to have a trainer. However, think of all the money you blow going out to eat all the time, going to happy hour, buying a coffee everyday or even stopping at the store to grab something. All these things add up and I’m not even going to mention all the calories you’re wracking up! This is how I compare the cost, for me, I think I’m actually saving money!

“Just One Bite…” by Jessica Tyrrell, Gold’s Gym Member
Have you ever had that really nice friend of yours come up to you with something so delicious that it makes your mouth water and then they say “Just have one bite. It isn’t going to kill you” and they KNOW you’re on a diet! Or even the battle within yourself of telling yourself that you can have one bite and it isn’t going to hurt you. The thing you need to really ask yourself is; are you really just going to have ONE bite? For me the answer is very simple, no. If you give me a cookie and I take a bite I’m pretty sure I’m going to demolish the rest of that cookie and then tell myself that if I ate one cookie I already blew my diet for the day and I’m going to eat another. It goes the same with any type of food you eat. Just one bite of pasta. Just one bite of pizza. Just one bite of…. You get the point!

“Fear” by Melissa Schwab, Gold’s Gym Challenge Participant
So we’re down to the final few weeks of the challenge and I’m surprised to find myself filled with a bit of fear. Have I done enough to reach my challenge goal? With only a few weeks to go, I have to stay committed to my food tracking and my workout schedule. Anyone else dreading those final pictures? Since I’ve seen my “before” pictures, I’m a little nauseous just thinking about having more pictures taken. I’m praying for MAJOR changes. Lastly, I’m fearful of ever going back to the way I was. I like the way being healthy makes me feel, but for me I know that it comes down to daily commitments to staying healthy. What keeps us from falling back into old habits? Maybe it’s the fear of going through all the hard work again. Maybe it’s just the fear of taking another terrible “before” picture. What will you use to keep you accountable?
