“The Dreaded Fast Food Menu; Aka Caloric Killer’s”

If you’re like two thirds of working Americans, you pick up lunch from a fast food joint or restaurant at least once a week. Sure, it’s not as healthy as packing your own lunch, but eating out every once in a while can’t hurt, right?

Not so fast: You’re Dead Wrong!

Not only could the window worker pile an entire day’s worth of calories through your car window with one serving, but soon after you will be sucking your energy and productivity right back out that window: Carb overloads lead to energy spikes and crashes, and studies have shown that the bigger your waistline, the lower your cognitive functioning and the more sick days you take.

Kind of ironic, considering “convenience” is the most common reason people give for buying lunch during the workday. In this economy, it’s hardly convenient to snore through the 2 o’clock meeting, or miss a few crucial days when the boss is looking for you.

A healthy lunch can help you maximize your afternoon performance, but if you’re in a hurry to grab and go, you might not take the time to sort through the menu hits and misses. Let the Eat This, Not That! folks be your efficiency experts: DON’T order the following items. Opt instead for less outrageous alternatives (also below), and reap the benefits at bonus time.
 
QUIZNO’S
Large Prime Rib Cheesesteak Sub
1,770 calories
116 g fat (25 g saturated, 2.5 g trans)
2,895 mg sodium
 
Fat Equivalent: Like eating 5 Dunkin Donuts cheese danishes!
 
It’s hard enough to make the argument for one cheese Danish, but five? And we’re just talking fat, here — with more than 1,000 calories of the stuff in just one sandwich. You’re also be filling up with more than a day’s worth of sodium and saturated fat. While this is one of the worst items you could choose, the rest of the Quizno’s menu has hazards, as well.

But if your coworkers insist on eating there, order this:
 
Regular Turkey Ranch and Swiss Sub with reduced fat Ranch
590 calories
18 g fat (2.5 g saturated)
2,235 mg sodium
 
CHILI’S
Crispy Honey Chipotle Crispers
1,890 calories
99 g fat (19 g saturated)
3,470 mg sodium
 
Calorie Equivalent: Like eating an entire medium Pizza Hut 12″ pepperoni pizza!
 
If you have the time for a sit-down meal, you have the time to think this through. Chicken Crispers are fun, but account for almost a whole day’s worth of calories and almost two days’ worth of sodium.

Your smarter choice is to eat this instead:
 
Classic Chicken Fajitas
330 calories
11 g fat (2 saturated)
2,080 mg sodium
 
And another hint for a healthy sit-down lunch: forgo the appetizers. Chili’s Texas Cheese Fries with Jalapeno Ranch Dressing made the top of our list when we rounded up the worst appetizers money can buy.
 
ARBY’S
Roast Turkey Ranch and Bacon Sandwich
818 calories
38 g fat (11 g saturated, 0.5 g trans)
2,146 mg sodium
 
Calorie Equivalent: Like eating 23 Thin Mints (one whole sleeve)!

Just because you could prepare it at home doesn’t mean it’s good for you when you order it away from home — the Roast Turkey Ranch and Bacon Sandwich packs nearly half of your daily allowance of calories and almost an entire day’s dose of sodium. Doesn’t leave much room for anything else, does it?

Eat this instead:
 
Sourdough Roast Beef Melt
355 calories
14 g fat (5 g saturated, 1 trans)
1,047 mg of sodiumDAIRY QUEEN
Wild Buffalo Chicken Strip Basket (4 piece)
1,340 calories
96 g fat (18 g saturated)
4,820 mg sodium
 
Sodium Equivalent: Like eating 14 large orders of McDonald’s French fries!
 
Talk about a value meal: one Chicken Strip Basket gives you two days’ payload of sodium! If thinking about it doesn’t elevate your blood pressure, eating it might.

Eat this instead:
 
Crispy Chicken Sandwich
530 calories
29 g fat (4.5 g saturated, 3 g trans)
1,020 mg sodiumPANERA
Italian Combo on Ciabatta sandwich
1,070 calories
50 g fat (19 g saturated, 0.5 g trans)
3,010 mg of sodium
 
Fat Equivalent: Like eating 6 slices of Papa John’s cheese pizza!
 
You were on the right track in choosing Panera, but don’t be sidelined by the allure of the Italian Combo. Ciabatta bread may sound sophisticated, but you won’t look so refined when you’re lugging that spare Pirelli around your midsection.

Eat this instead:
 
Smoked Turkey Breast on Sourdough sandwich
470 calories
17 g fat (2.5 g saturated)
1,680 mg sodium
 
CHIPOTLE
13” Tortilla with steak, black beans, rice, cheese, sour cream and lettuce
1,005 calories
40 g fat (17 g saturated)
1,948 mg sodium
 
Calorie Equivalent: Like eating 40 Hershey’s Kisses!

The good news about this tortilla is that it contains 57 grams of protein, but that’s hardly worth the outrageous calorie and carbohydrate load — with 100 grams of carbs, you’ve already covered a third of your recommended daily intake, plus you’re taking in nearly a day’s worth of sodium and saturated fat. Downsize to drop pounds.

Eat this instead:
 
Three hard tacos with steak, pinto beans, sour cream and lettuce
633 calories
25 g fat (11 g saturated)
854 mg sodium
 
(Another hint: When it comes to Chipotle chips, just say “no.” They add an outrageous 570 calories and 73 extra grams of carbs.)
 
HARDEE’S
2/3-lb Monster Thickburger
1,420 calories
108 g fat (43 g saturated)
2,770 mg sodium
 
Saturated Fat Equivalent: Like eating 43 strips of Oscar Mayer bacon!
 
It’s called Monster for a reason. It’s a monster load of saturated fat (more than two days’ worth). The good news is that it has a friendlier, healthier cousin in the 1/3-lb Low-Carb Thickburger, with 1,000 fewer calories and a third the amount of fat. Even better, the Low-Carb Thickburger is true to its name — it only has 5 grams of quick-burning carbohydrates, compared to 46 grams in the Monster.

Eat this instead:
 
1/3-lb Low-Carb Thickburger
420 calories
32 g fat (12 g saturated)
1,010 mg sodiumBURGER KING
Triple Whopper Sandwich with cheese and mayo
1,230 calories
82 g fat (32 g saturated)
1,590 mg sodium
 
Fat Equivalent: Like eating 10 slices of Papa John’s cheese pizza!

You should know by now not to order a triple anything. In this case you’re getting egregious calorie, fat, and sodium overloads. Choose a regular cheeseburger instead and slash 900 calories, 66 g of fat, and save yourself from the judgmental stares of your coworkers, who are three times as likely to be grossed out!

Eat this instead:
 
Cheeseburger
330 calories
16 g fat (7 g saturated, 0.5 g trans)
780 mg sodium

3 Simple Tips to A Healthier You!

How many people do you know who are on prescribed medication?  High cholesterol, blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, thyroid problems, obesity…  With all of the new medical & pharmaceutical advancements, people are more aware of health & fitness than ever before, yet our own government statistics indicate record levels of health-related ailments. 

Every quick fix book, cd, infomercial, TV show, wonder pill, cosmetic surgeons surgery, fad diet and DVD all claim to have the miracle answer.  DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!  Stick to the fundamentals and you’ll see results that last.  An overall healthy lifestyle will have benefits that impact more than just your pant size. 

Here are 3 simple ways to start….

1. Eat.  That’s right, eat.  There are tons of special diets, but you don’t need a diet – you need to learn how to eat.  Keep It Simple.  The best way to eat correctly is to eat what nature provides: meats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and water.  The more cooked or processed food gets, the worse the food is for you, period.  Too many diets include fast food, soda, chips, candies, or some type of ‘convenient’ food.  This is why the average American has gained over 20 lbs., in the past 15 years, and the incidence of heart disease and cancer are at an all time high!  Pack a little cooler with healthy alternatives such as fruit, protein shakes, organic bars, nuts or water, so that when you are hungry, you have something available.  Also, take an evening and plan your meals for the week.
2. Move!  Get off the couch, out of your chair, out of the car and move.  This is what most people call exercise, but you don’t have to put on tights and get on the Stairmaster. Go outside, play a sport, go skiing, take a hike, go for a swim, join a gym… It doesn’t matter, just move.  No more ‘New years’ resolutions that last for a week.  Make exercise a habit.  Movement builds strength, cardiovascular health, increases flexibility, strengthens ligaments, increases energy and clears your mind.
3. Chill. People recharge in different ways.  So you need to figure out what you truly enjoy.  What do you like to do that allows your mind to relax?  Try sports, the spa, time with family, a good book, a long walk, a bath, painting or any other activity that rejuvenates you.  Too many people spend most of their time racing around, and they never really make time to recuperate.  Everyone needs time to chill, including YOU.  So think about it, schedule it, and make it a priority. 

Final Notes:

Start with your calendar. Don’t just react each day to things that pop up.  Exercise and health need to become a priority.  Plan to workout 3 times per week.  Everyone has 3 hours a week to do something physical.  Next, plan some time to chill.  Remember, this is for you to relax mentally!  Find an activity that recharges you and offsets the week’s stress!  Finally, plan your meals in advance.  Learn how to shop and prepare for your week. Ask for help.  Make time. Commit to basic changes.  You will look better, feel better and become a healthier person!

Press Release for the #1 Personal Trainers in Orange County

Innovative Results, Inc. Voted Best Personal Trainers in Orange County

Innovative Results, Inc. takes the number one spot on myfoxla 2008 Best of the OC HOT LIST as the Best Personal Trainers in Orange County.

Issued By: Innovative Results, Inc.

Jun 25, 2008 17:24:52  

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 25, 2008 – Innovative Results, Inc. takes the number one spot on myfoxla 2008 Best of the OC HOT LIST as the Best Personal Trainers in Orange County.

The myfoxla HOT LIST (www.myfoxla.com), a product of Fox LA News, is Southern California’s premier image-based guide to thousands of local businesses. The HOT LIST delivers the local perspective: hidden gems, neighborhood favorites, and honest advice from those who know their city best.

Aaron Guyett, President and CEO of Innovative Results, Inc., said of the victory:”We are extremely pleased and honored to be named best personal trainers, but not surprised.  The success of any personal trainer can only be measured by his or her clients.  It’s a goal-oriented business and as a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant I understand the hard work that goes into reaching your goals. I am here to support my clients and offer not just a gym program but a life plan that will lead to fulfillment.  The company’s motto is ‘love, happiness and abundance.’ As trainers, we focus on giving support and motivation to every client so they can achieve their goals.”  

Guyett notes the following factors why Innovative Results, Inc. is also the fastest growing personal training business in the county:

1. We offer innovative personal training and nutritional coaching that’s fine-tuned for every customer, allowing for maximum results in minimum time.  Each client’s program is designed with their individual goals in mind.  Everybody is different and nobody’s time or efforts are ever wasted;  

2. We don’t train like the traditional bodybuilders, we train movements and therefore create efficient humans with sexy bodies; and

3. We also give our clients innovative nutritional guidelines.  It’s not a strict adherence to specific foods; instead we work with each individual’s food journal to create modification for success.

He adds: “While it’s great to have this recognition because it means that our clients are happy, I won’t rest here.  My goal is to grow the company and continue to increase revenue while creating a great work environment for both my trainers and my clients.  My business model is very different from the traditional gym-membership model that cuts the customer loose after the initial sale.  They count on the failure of their customers, so the gym won’t get overcrowded, and they can sell more memberships. I want everyone to succeed because their success is a direct reflection on me.”  

Innovative Results, Inc. has plans to open three private training facilities in Orange County and eventually expand nationally.

Innovative Results, Inc. provides Health, Wellness & Peak Performance with Love Happiness & Abundance!

Getting the Full Experience

aahhhh...

Okay, breath, and think about what you are going to say. Let your spirit and the Universe guide your thoughts, words, and action. I get the fullest and most real experience when this occurs naturally. I mean, the worst things I do, are the times when there is zero thought and all human emotion wrapped up in a ball of black rage, anger, hurt, sadness, and the list goes on.

I have done some bad things in my day, and I can say from experience, none of them would have happened if I could have stopped doing anything, breathed, observed my present situation, and let my spirit and the Universe or God guide me into my thoughts, words, and actions. I would have never stolen. I would have never punched that guy, or that other guy, or that other guy, and the list goes on. I would have never done a lot of things, which I am apologetic for. I do not regret anything I have ever done, though. This is something for the soul and from my soul. I can live everyday knowing I am doing the right things most of the time and see that everything has happened for a reason.

If it wasn’t for some of those horrible mistakes, I might not be living the life I have right now, what I consider to be the most blessed and happy life I have ever felt. I am truly excited everyday for my existence, and feel love, happiness, and abundance in every moment i experience the space-time continuum here on earth.

Thank you for your divinity.

Life

Aaron Guyett wrote this at the beginning of 2008. He had just gone through a lot of life issues, but it is interesting to point out, that now nearing the end of 2008, he had a pretty good run. He partied in New Orleans, Orange County, San Diego, LA, Moscow Russia, and South Padre Island; his business grew enormously with a couple of strategic position changes; he sailed the Caribbean; he did charity work in India; and lastly he got to be a part of the best personal trainers, the best team, and have the best friends in the world! Thank you and enjoy the thoughts he had earlier this year:

I sit in an excited, anxious, and rollercoasting heap of thoughts. I cannot wait to see how this year pans out. I have many exciting opportunities, and many real issues intertwined to give my experience a run for its money. I truly await in great anticipation, and find it hard to just be. I am all about living in the present tense, but with this much commotion it is hard to concentrate on now, focus on here, and let it just be.

I relay these thought to help me generate a foothold on which I can begin to create my presence and my being. I love that I feel good about life, I feel love, and I am happy about the impending creations. I give it all to the Universe, while becoming action of now and pursuer of there. Let the space-time continuum run its course to my imminent success, and life of love, happiness, and abundance.

I am appreciative of your listening, and I am thankful and grateful to you for letting me rant and rave into organization. You are rad. 

With Aaron’s mental and kinesthetic training, it is no wonder he was proclaimed as one of the Nation’s top personal trainers.

Skydiving is the shhh….

Aaron Guyett and John Madden on the ground!

This is written by the CEO of Innovative Results (Orange County’s #1 Personal Trainers) Aaron Guyett. He enjoys life just as much as he can, and he wants his team and his clients to enjoy it too!

As I perch myself on plane’s door, outside of the plane. The wind wants to rip you off in its unforgiving way, but I won’t stand for that. I hold my grip tight looking at nothing, taking in everything. Life has a way of not existing in these tiny moments. Every thought is fleeting, and every second is booming. Time slows, noise is gone, senses are on overload, and then you release.

As I drove down to San Diego for another ultimate thrill. I think only good thoughts and I get a roller-coaster of excitement, anticipation, anxiety, and humorous comments from John Madden. Every time at about the toll road we exchange thoughts about relationships, love, forgiveness, getting over someone, and living free. This is the reality of our lives, but we know where we are headed is the ultimate reality, which creates the ultimate thrill. WE do something few have ever tried and most will never do. We cheat death, and laugh at ourselves the whole time. It is time for our medicine and the prescription is thrill.

Weightlessness consumes my body, and the wind and velocity from the plane pulls me in a forward direction, while simultaneously gravity has such a strong power over me, that I begin my plummet to the earth. Earth is surreal from this perspective, but soon it becomes a real perception of my mind, creeping steadily closer and growing incrementally bigger. I do a few maneuvers in the air, always astounded at how well the wind whips me into strange positions. This is called inexperience, but I am learning the ways of wind manipulation more on each jump. This wind and human relationship is my only sense of control, besides the sweet little hackie hanging close to my right butt cheek. I notice the ground becoming detailed and look to my left hand for altitude, noticing it is probably time for me to wave off and pull.
