More Energy, Less Fat: Try MCTs

Medium chain triglycerides, or MCTs, are fatty acids that are easily digested and more rapidly absorbed by the body than other fats. They function similarly to carbohydrates, supplying the body with an immediate, efficient source of "quick" energy.

MCTs are popular among athletes and bodybuilders looking to increase endurance and enhance sports performance. They're also used to promote weight loss, as they induce ketosis, a state in which the body burns stored fat for energy.

While MCTs are found in foods such as coconut oil, palm kernel oil and butter, they're also available in supplement form, usually as a liquid oil that can be taken by the spoonful or added to dressings and other foods. Due to its low smoke point, MCT oil is not recommend for cooking.

Yesterday's New York Times had an article about a 91 year old man who goes to the gym 5 0r 6 days a week. He works the machines. "You want to increase your strength and exhaust your muscles,".."But, I'm never tired when I leave. I don't go home and plop down."

"The Secret" Buzz

The Bestseller "the Secret" is nothing new. It's bringing together old material even from the bible, basically "Ask and you shall receive".

Other classics that were borrowed from
Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill
Creative Affirmations, Shakti Gawain
The Power of Positive Thinking, Vincent Pealel

The message is Have a vision, see it, feel it, believe it to be real.

On a holistic level, this is true.

Our thoughts change how we feel, even how our physical body feels.

Change your thoughts, change your body.

Don't refer to a body part as a "bad" knee, or other part. That's the message that the mind/body receives, and that's what you get.
Change the message, refer to the body part as getting stronger.

Get the picture?
