I didn’t realize how much “abuse” I would take when I exposed the “supplement industry” a few years ago and then went on to recommend some of the “basic” bodybuilding supplements I DO use.

LOL

I guess this can be perceived as “hypocritical.”
Fair enough. I’m like you and can get easily frusturated with the conflicting supplement advice and advertisements out there and it’s hard for ME to find people I should trust too.

The supplement industry is loaded with fraudulent claims, bogus products that sometimes aren’t even what they claim to be, and lots of ineffective products (even when they ARE what they claim to be).

Despite these problems, I’ve always contended that there ARE a handful of useful products out there, and certainly some honest companies mixed in with the abundant scam artists.
Today’s discussion will be around Prograde Nutrition, the one company I’ve found that is actually honest and sells only research-proven products.

This company has been in the making for about 4 years now, and was built by a group of fitness professionals whose main goal was to try to fight against the problems in the supplement industry and offer an honest solution without the hype and without the loads of products that have no research behind
them and don’t work.

Let’s discuss some of the typical problems with supplements, and how to avoid them and choose the right products that will actually get you results.

Problem #1 with supplements: Ever since the passing of the 1994 Dietary Supplement and
Health Education Act (DSHEA) in the US, supplements have been excluded from federal regulation.

One of the negative aspects of this is that certain unscrupulous companies could now pretty much get away with putting anything they wanted in the bottle because it did not have to undergo quality control testing to make it to market. Their label didn’t even have to match what was in the bottle, since nobody is policing them.
The only way to catch these companies was for independent testing firms to run tests on their own dime to find out which companies are honest and which are fraudulent.

Prograde solved this problem by requiring that all of their products go through High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing to guarantee what they say is in the bottle is TRULY in the bottle, and delivers the desired results.
Their manufacturing plant is also a GMP certified manufacturer – “A” rated facility to assure quality.

Problem #2 with supplements: One of the other major problems I’ve had with the supplement industry are falsely hyped up claims about “miraculous” results with their products giving you the false hope that your body will turn into a fitness model’s within a couple weeks of using their “miracle pill.”

Well, we all know by now that most of these products do very little, if anything to actually create results in the body. Even if some of them have minor positive effects, it does not address the underlying cause of the problem in the first place, and results will never last in the long run without lifestyle changes to both your exercise and nutrition habits as a whole.

In response to this, the founders of Prograde made sure there was absolutely no hype or ridiculous claims… only a very limited line of the most effective research-backed products without any BS or confusing “stacks”.

Problem #3 with supplements. Most people overlook this problem when buying vitamins and supplements. The fact is that your body does not properly absorb nutrients from artificial sources as is common with many supplements and vitamins.

Once again, I asked the founders of Prograde to respond to this. I was happy to find that their products are actually extracted from whole-food sources instead of artificial sources, meaning better absorption in your body.

They even purchased a 2500-acre farm in mineral rich soils in sunny Florida where all of their raw materials are grown. I must say…I’m impressed!
Problem #4 with supplements:

Another problem I have with typical supplements is this…

The normal scenario when someone buys supplements is that they may go to their local supplement/vitamin store and they are given advice by some high school kid making $7/hr who has no education whatsoever in nutrition.

Do you really want to put your health in the hands of some kid who is simply telling you that you need to get such and such supplement because he saw something about how great it was in a magazine advertisement?

Once again, the founders of Prograde solved this problem by assuring that all of their products were designed by professionals in the industry — dietitians and nutritionists who carefully analyzed which products actually are beneficial and which are a waste of time and money. They then narrowed their line of products down to only a handful of the most effective.

They also have decided that their products will never be sold in stores because they don’t want unqualified store clerks with no education in nutrition to recommend products for your health. That’s why you can only obtain them from their website, so you know you’re getting them from qualified professionals in the industry.

Problem #5 with supplements: The problem is quite simply this… YOU DON’T NEED THEM for optimal health, IF you’re eating right.

The fact is, you don’t need supplements as long as you eat a well rounded diet full of unprocessed whole natural foods, lots of variety, high nutrient density, lots of fruits, veggies, whole unrefined grains, eggs, beans, nuts, seeds, organic meats, fish, etc, etc.

The problem is that most people don’t have time or don’t make enough of an effort to eat this type of optimal diet with proper balance and super-high nutrient density.

In this case, I concede that supplementation has many benefits for people who struggle to eat right all of time and may be missing many essential nutrients.

To solve this problem, the founders of a Prograde Nutrition have actually formulated their men’s and women’s formulas with extracts of natural whole foods instead of synthetic sources. They even use whole food extracts from broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, wheat grass, alfalfa, artichoke, chorella, kale, collard greens, papaya, grapefruit, tomato, omega-3’s, and dozens more.

Well, I think that’s enough for today.

I’ve been using these supplements for the past 12 months and although I can’t say they have performed miracles, I have not been sick in over a year, my recovery is incredible, and I never suffer from energy lows.

If you’ve ever had an experience with the latest fat burning supplement then you’ll know they are notorious for over promising and under delivering.

There’s far more at stake here then the latest bodybuilding supplement stealing your money and laughing behind your back – today I will pull back the curtain in far greater detail.

Most fat burning products are sold under the counter with a variety of names like fat burners, thermo formulas, metabolic boosters, reducing agents and many more.

The fat burning supplements that do work contain drugs such as ephedrine and caffeine which are both very powerful stimulants and yes, they are drugs.

However, what supplement companies commonly do is take the herbal forms of those, for example, caffeine comes from a plant called guarana and ephedrine comes from a plant called ma haung, and they put it in their product so they can market it as “natural” or “herbal.”

My biggest issue is that fat burners will work in the short-term but they will not sustain you for the long-term which is why many people fall victim of roller-coaster fitness success.

Fat burners will increase your metabolism up to 10% a day which can be very effective when you’ve progressed down to a very low calorie diet and have progressed up to to the greatest energy expenditure.  To summarize, when you can’t take in any less and you can’t put out any more – this is the one and only time I would endorse a fat burning supplement because it will help melt that final few pounds of fat.

Typically, the only people who reach this state are bodybuilders and fitness models on the final few weeks of contest preparation and those on the final few weeks of a transformation contest.

Fat burners also have a diuretic effect which leads to water loss and suppresses your appetite by manipulating your brain neuro-transmitters.  They’ll also increase your heart rate which is why you’ll notice that you begin sweating earlier in your workout and they can also cause headaches and tremors on the intermediate side of things.  On the extreme side, they can result in a stroke or death.

The extreme cases rarely happen but if occurs more often if you have high blood pressure or heart problems and you should always consult with your doctor before using them period.

So why are fat burners so effective?

Fast forward to about 4 and 1/2 minutes into the video to find out.

As you can see Vince compiled a massive amount of research into this video to bring you just the nuts and bolts of this subject of fat burning supplements so that you will be very well informed on this serious matter.

When you’re done watching, don’t forget to share your comments and your own opinions on this matter.  I would love to hear them.

Train hard and train even smarter

I was spending $200 a month on stuff like:

• Creatine powders, pills and liquids…
• Pre and post workout protein powders
• Pre bed protein powders
• Weight gain protein powders
• Testosterone boosters
• Branch chain amino acids
• Glutamine
• NO2 formulas (which were just new on the scene)

And probably some other ones I’m forgetting…

I won’t lie.  At first, it was really exciting buying the latest “breakthrough” bodybuilding supplement.

I remember one ad promising “7 pounds of solid muscle in 7 days” and that was one of the tame ones so it sounded more believable.

My Mom always said I was gullible.

Maybe you can relate?

After dedicating myself to a strict supplement routine and choking back mysterious mixtures and drinks that were supposed to give the physique of my dreams I noticed the only thing changing was the amount of money adding up on my credit card.

I didn’t notice a single friggin difference in muscle size.

That’s when it stopped getting exciting and started becoming very frustrating.

Eventually I ran Vince Delmote’s Muscle Gaining Guide which showed me how to eat and train and I gained 19 pounds of lean muscle mass in the very first month I took his advice.

And his advice didn’t include any magical bodybuilding supplements.

I was getting ripped and muscular without supplements.  Go figure.

Vince Delmonte revealed to me that some Utah Senator, Orrin Hatch, is the guy to thank for all the wasted money I flushed down the toilet because he chose not to regulate the supplement industry so that bodybuilding companies (and any supplement company can put anything they want in the bottle without FDA approval).

The God’s Honest,
No Nonsense Truth is this…

90% of the bodybuilding supplements on the market Don’t Work!

In this next video I’m going to share with you from the Bigger, Faster, Stronger documentary you’re going to discover that most supplements cost LESS than three dollars to produce.

Want to know their dirty little secrets?

Watch this video to find out how they are getting away with blatantly lying to you and robbing you out of your hard earned money.

As you’ll see, the supplement company does not care about you.  Sure, maybe a  small handful of companies have half-decent products but why look for a solution from an industry that has failed to earn our trust over and over?

In my Inbox, I get a lot of feedback defending the “good guys” in the supplement industry and I would like to believe there are some really high quality products out there but when I see a video like this, I really lose all my trust and hope.

After watching that video, I have 3 questions for you…

1. How do you feel about supplement companies being able to make products for $1-2 and than selling them to you for $60?

2. What do you think of the supplement industry being unregulated and not needing FDA approval?

3. Why do you justify buying supplements when you know that supplement companies can easily put out low quality products?

It’s no wonder the supplement industry is a 24 BILLION dollar industry – anybody can make them and we keep buying them because we’re pathetically desperate!

My Philosophy On Bodybuilding Supplements:

1. Even IF certain supplements are high in quality, I never expect them to work miracles.

2. I’ll ask myself, “What am I trying to get this supplement to do that my training, diet and lifestyle can not?”

3. I’ve lost 90% of my trust in the supplement industry.

4. I’m so skeptical that even when a new product comes out and it’s from someone I trust, I’m not even interested in looking into it because I’ve wasted enough time and money in the past only to be disappointed.  I never did like rejection.

5. I know that my body is not getting what it says on the actual bottle and I can’t believe what the store owner says because (for the most part) they just want to sell you the product they have the biggest profit margins.  I know this because I used to date a girl from GNC who explained how each month they made an inflated commission to promote the “product of the month.”

6. I’ve never seen a friend muscle up on supplements or hear someone say, “I got big because of this supplement…” Have you? Seriously, all the guys I know who are really muscular and strong have at least one of the following commonalities…

• they either have amazing genetics.
• they have used drugs.
• they have a true love for good old fashioned training.
• they live and breath a healthy bodybuilding lifestyle.
• they have been consistent and committed to their goals since they started.
• they are not afraid of hard work and have put in their dues.

7. Lastly, you just don’t know what you’re putting in your body. You don’t – no matter what it says on the bottle -how in the world do you really know if it’s good or bad?

Lets Be Honest..

Do you think any company is going to admit the truth about their absorption rates and manufacturing process? Why gamble your health and money on supplements if you’re not confident in the return you’re getting for your investment?

Instead, I would encourage you to put your efforts into the 90% that DOES work.

1. A structured and progressive training program.
2. A healthy and balanced eating plan.
3. A lifestyle that provides 8 hours of sleep each night.

If there is anything you get from reading this email, it is the message that you don’t need to waste your money on useless and potentially damaging and dangerous supplements ever again.

Want to know the scariest part about the supplement industry?

The next new supplement designed just for you, has the same crap in it that the last supplement had in it and you’ll probably buy it.

I really hope not because after you start following Vince’s program you’ll have lots of more money in your pocket to start spending on all the women (or your special someone) who are suddenly giving you lots of attention!
