The Best Jeans For Your Body

When shopping for jeans, do you feel like you spend a lot of time with few successes? Trying on pair after pair of ill-fitting jeans can be a rather deflating experience for your ego. If you know your body type, however, and the styles that flatter it best, you can save loads of time and self-esteem. To figure out which jeans will work for you and help to cut down your shopping time, read on.

The Cut

Straight cut

Straight-cut jeans typically sit at your natural waist and are slim through the seat and thighs. The fabric should skim your silhouette and the leg should be long, tapering off gradually and slightly at the ankle. This style of jean is classic, and if you have the body to wear them, straight-cut jeans can pretty much be paired with anything.

Flare cut

Also known as boot-cut jeans and originally designed to be worn with cowboy boots, this cut is very flattering for many body types. Typically, flare-cut styles should sit just below your natural waist and should be slightly loose through the leg. From the knee to the ankle, these jeans become slightly wider or “flare” out. A bonus is that these jeans will never go out of style and it’s so easy to dress them up for a date or the office.

Wide leg

Like flared jeans, wide-leg jeans often sit at your natural waist or just below it, but the seat and thighs of these jeans will have a relaxed or quite loose fit. Back pockets may be larger and deeper on this style of jean. Wide-leg jeans usually have a straight, slightly tapered cut from the thigh to the ankle, but they are very loose through the leg so that the shape of your body is not as easily discernible.

Low rise

The defining feature of low-rise jeans is that they sit below your natural waistline, often on the hip bones. Low-rise jeans can be straight cut, slim fit, bootleg or wide leg. It’s best to wear low-rise jeans with a longer shirt, otherwise your midriff will be visible anytime you move your arms — while girls might be able to get away with belly-baring jeans and short T-shirts at the bar, this look is never a good one for men.

Now that you know all about cuts, find out which one suits your body best...

Body Type

Tall and lean

Straight-cut jeans will flatter this body type best. If you are blessed with a great physique, jeans with a flat front and straight leg will show off your body to its best advantage. Boot-cut jeans are another option for this body type — particularly if you have wider hips — as a flared cut will balance your shape, creating a straighter, streamlined look. Tall and lean men can also carry off wide-leg jeans, but be aware that they will look very casual on this body type and are therefore better-suited for weekends than the office.

Slender

If you are slim and of average height, avoid jeans that adhere too closely to your body unless you like the starving-artist look. Steer clear of wide-leg jeans as well, as you risk looking lost in your clothes. For your most flattering look, choose straight-cut, low-rise jeans that sit comfortably and low on the hips with a couple of extra inches of room through the leg. Slightly flared jeans also flatter slender figures by creating the illusion of a better defined silhouette. For a more ample-looking rear, look for back pockets with flaps or extra material as this will add bulk to your behind.

Athletic

Athletic and muscular types look best in jeans with a wider leg since looser cuts show off the shape of a toned body. Jeans cut too close to the body are not as good a choice for muscular shapes as they can make muscles appear overly bulky. Wider-leg jeans, however, will subtly show off all your hard-earned gym work. Additionally, to show off your butt or give it a more round shape, choose back pockets that are smaller and further apart.

Heavy-set

Larger frames should stay away from flare-cut jeans as these jeans will make heavier men appear larger. Wide-leg styles, however, are really great for concealing physical flaws. If there is a little more of you to love, this style will hide love handles and thick waists. Be careful not to choose styles that are too baggy, however, as they will make larger bodies appear even larger. Instead, choose a loose shape with a few extra inches of room to show the shape of your body without hugging your frame too closely. As well, larger, deeper pockets will make your butt look smaller and are therefore a good choice for heavier frames. Another way to conceal a larger behind is to look for pockets that are closer together. 

Hopefully by now you have a better idea of which jeans are suitable for your body type and your next shopping trip should be much more efficient. A word to the wise: Once you find jeans that fit you perfectly, buy more than one pair. Get rid of other jeans that don’t fit as well and replace your new jeans with a reserved pair about once a year when they fade and the bottoms become scruffy.

Men's Fashion - Top 10 Colors for Fall 2014

Pantone's Report for the Top 10 Men's Color Trends for Fall 2014

There has been a gradual shift towards a unisex color palette in recent seasons—and fall 2014 is no exception. Similar to the women’s palette, this season’s men’s collections have also been inspired by a need to explore—traveling back in time or into the unknown—resulting in a more adventurous use of color, especially through combinations.

Exotic Sangria invigorates the men’s palette while Aurora Red adds a sophisticated spark to any winter wardrobe. Pair Aurora Red with Cognac, a tasteful brown, for a confident and high-profile look. Cognac will also be popular with more vibrant shades in the palette, including Misted Yellow, which adds a touch of optimism to cold weather ensembles.

Both Radiant Orchid, a fascinating purple, and Bright Cobalt blue will be quintessential statement colors this season—bold and charismatic shades prevalent in everything from sportswear to shoes. Pair these hues with Sea Fog, a more masculine representation of Mauve Mist, for a powerfully poised fall look.

Combine Aluminum, a complex silvery shade, with versatile, elegant Royal Blue and bracing Cypress. These hues will undoubtedly play an integral role in men’s fashion this fall, serving as staple hues for outerwear and formalwear throughout the cooler months.

For more than 20 years, Pantone, the global authority on color, has surveyed the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to bring you the season’s most important color trends. This report previews the most prominent hues for fall 2014.

Is Coffee a Good Pre Workout?

A Special Thank You to

Kyle "The Muscle Maximizer" Leon

It seems that research is backing up the use of coffee as a pre-workout drink for a number of different reasons. If you look at just about any pre-workout drink, you're going to find some sort of stimulant. Since ephedra was banned, it's fairly likely that the exact stimulant that you'll find is going to be caffeine.

That's exactly what's in coffee. What you won't find in coffee is artificial flavors, sweeteners or a ton of calories: just good old fashioned caffeine along with serious antioxidant power and a nice, rich, wake-me-up flavor.

Coffee Boosts Fat Burning

A neat little trick that was discovered during research is that coffee triggers your body to burn fat instead of glycogen for energy during a workout. This means that you're quite literally burning fat while you're working without having to burn through your glycogen stores first.

Coffee Increases Mental Clarity

One of the benefits of caffeine is that it helps you to focus on the task at hand. When you're working out, that means that you can concentrate more easily on performing each exercise precisely and completely without your mind wandering off in a million directions.

Coffee Decreases Pain

Caffeine affects a system in your brain and spine that deals with pain, which is why it may help reduce muscle pain and burn during workouts. A study conducted at the University of Illinois in 2009 supports this. College-age men were first given a placebo before hitting the cycles, then a week later were given a caffeine pill before cycling. Significant reduction in calf pain during exercise was reported during the caffeine phase of the study.

This could help you work out longer and harder without experiencing muscle pain and burn that can reduce the number of reps or the amount of weight that you can lift. That's a pretty big bonus to any workout plan!

Caffeine Improves Performance

When you look at the combination of increased energy and focus and decreased workout pain, caffeine is bound to improve your performance. This leap in logic is supported by numerous studies, which show that caffeine consumption (with as little as one cup) can increase performance by about 12%.

Possible Downsides of Drinking Coffee as a Pre-Workout

If you're extremely sensitive to caffeine, drinking coffee may not be for you. Also, coffee is a diuretic. While that's great if you're retaining water, it's not-so-great when you're trying to hydrate your body during and after a workout.

I give a nice strong, black cup of coffee a 2 thumbs up for an inexpensive alternative to a traditional pre-workout!

Why "instant" brown rice may be HEALTHIER than regular brown rice

You probably already know that, generally speaking, brown rice is a healthier option than white rice.  It contains more fiber, vitamins and minerals while also having a lower glycemic index.

You've probably also heard that the "slow cook" version of brown rice is much healthier than the "instant" versions, which have been pre-cooked to allow for faster cooking times.  After all, anything that's "easy" has to give you some sort of health trade off, doesn't it?  So perhaps like many looking to obtain a trim, tight waistline, you labor over the stove for 45 mins to prepare your healthy brown rice.

But alas, this simply isn't true.  Did you know that many brands of "instant" brown rice contain just as much fiber as regular brown rice and have even been tested to have a lower glycemic index than regular versions?  In fact, the ONLY brands of brown rice to score a glycemic index in the 40's are ALL instant!  The regular versions generally score in the 60 - 80s range.

Now, with that said, this same "quick cook" phenomenon doesn't apply to other foods like oatmeal, where the glycemic index generally increases significantly when comparing instant versions vs their regular counterparts.

But when it comes to brown rice, it seems that there is little negative trade off and actually some positive benefits to gain with a lower glycemic index.  Not to mention, it's ready in a few minutes instead of nearly an hour!

The BEST fruit for weightloss (even great before bed)

Thanks to Joel & Josh - BioTrust Nutrition

You've probably heard the tip that if you're interested in losing weight, it's a good idea to eat slowly and chew your food at least 15-20 times before swallowing.  Doing so allows your brain and body to actually sense that it's full, instead of cramming a bunch of food down your throat only to find out 30 mins later that you're WAY stuffed.

And for that reason (and a few others), I'm picking cherries as my #1 fruit for weight loss.

With cherries, you can't just pop 30 in your mouth in two mins like you could, and probably often do, with grapes or blueberries.  Instead, the pits force you to eat them slowly, allowing your satiation sensors to chime in a prevent you from over-indulging.

So that's reason #1 – built in portion control.

Reason #2, and it's a BIG one, is that cherries have the LOWEST glycemic index of all fruits, and one of the lowest glycemic indexes of any carbohydrate source—period.

Scoring at a ridiculously low 22, you can even snack on cherries in the evening without much detriment as their effect on insulin is minimal at best.  Again, it's not late-night eating that's the problem, it's eating the wrong foods (those that cause a substantial rise in fat-loss halting insulin) in evening hours that is.

So next time you're in the mood for a sweet, satiating snack, reach for a small bowl of cherries and enjoy the goodness.  My new favorite variety is Rainier cherries….Mmm mmm good :)

Do this exactly ONCE per week (for max fatloss)‏

If there’s one thing that causes more unnecessary panic and stress to cross my email inbox, it’s the dag on scale.

 

People literally FREAKING OUT because the scale reads one pound more today than it did yesterday.

 

So today, I’m here to help you with some facts and a bit of advice.

 

#1 – that’s NORMAL.  If you weigh yourself every day, you’re going to see fluctuations in weight throughout the week (mainly due to daily water fluctuations).  That’s normal and to be expected especially if you’re utilizing a program that cycles carb and calorie intake like many popular diet programs do today.

 

The solution?

 

NEVER weigh yourself more than once a week.  Period.  Anything more than that and you’re just screwing yourself psychologically.  The scale will inevitably jump around and instead of staying focused on your fatloss plan and your goals, your thoughts become consumed with a number (that for all intents and purposes is unreliable on a daily basis).

 

So when should you weigh yourself?

 

The key is to keep things as consistent as possible throughout the measuring process:

 

*Same scale

*Same day each week

*Same time of day

*Same circumstances

 

For example, if you have a Cheat Day on the same day each week, I recommend taking your scale reading on that day, first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything, on the same scale each week, unclothed.  Taking measurements in this fashion will give you a pretty good idea of the type of results you were able to achieve from the previous week.

 

Perhaps an even better indicator of progress is your waist measurement, and as such I recommend taking a waist measurement along with your scale reading each week.  Again, same measuring tape, some spot (around the navel), same set of circumstances, etc.

 

Even if for some fluke reason the scale doesn’t budge one week, as long as your waist measurement decreases you can rest assured that you’re losing fat because your fat stores are shrinking.

 

So, if you’re someone who steps on the scale daily, or even worse sporadically throughout the week at different times of day, do yourself a favor and STOP.  Move to once-a-week progress measurements for a much more reliable, stress-free indicator of progress.

All U Can Eat Buffet (fat loss trick)

When asked: "What's My Favorite Food?" 

My answer is: "All U Can Eat Buffet!"

There's just something enticing about having an endless supply of food available to eat until your hearts content.

But did you know that there is a simple "trick" that you can use the next time you are at a buffet that will allow you to enjoy yourself without packing on unwanted bodyfat in the process?

There is some new research from Cornell University that uncovers a powerful insight that will be very helpful to you as you visit your next buffet... if you put it to use.  

What is it?

Well, the study discovered that two thirds of an individual's plate is typically filled with the first 3 items they choose at the buffet table.  Now, how can you apply this simple finding to your bodybuilding nutrition program?  Easy.  Reach for salad, veggies, and lean protein before adding other items to your plate.

The study also found that folks are more apt to choose foods similar to the first item they put on their plate, so if the first item is a healthy choice, it's much more likely that you will follow up that choice by placing another healthy food item on your plate.

Even better, when choosing salad greens, veggies, and lean proteins, these foods come with high volume and low calories.  That means you'll be able to pile your plate high, leaving your belly full while still supporting your fat-loss goals.

High fruit and veggie diet linked to lower risk of heart disease, death

 

By Kathryn Doyle

Reuters - Friday, August 8, 2014

 

The idea that fruits and veggies are good for you isn't new, of course. What’s new in this study is that researchers saw a dose-response relationship: the more fruits and veggies people ate, the less likely they were to have heart problems or die while researchers were studying them.

The protective effects of fruits and veggies leveled out at five servings per day, which supports current dietary recommendations, senior author Dr. Frank B. Hu, of the departments of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, told Reuters Health by email.

The findings are from a fresh analysis of 16 existing studies that involved more than 800,000 people. The studies lasted at least four years, and sometimes up to 26 years. Around 56,000 participants died during the studies.

Six studies included data on vegetables in the diet over time, six examined fruits, and four included both. The studies were conducted in the U.S., Asia and Europe.

Compared to people who ate no fruits or vegetables, those who ate one serving per day were roughly five percent less likely to die of any cause over the course of the studies. And with every additional serving, the risk of death decreased by another five percent, according to the combined analysis published in BMJ.

The risk of dying from heart disease decreased with more fruits and vegetables in a similar way, but the risk of dying from cancer did not appear to change.

More than five servings of fruits and vegetables daily didn't confer any additional benefit.

Most of the studies took into account people’s age, body mass index, smoking and alcohol consumption, which can all affect the risk of dying from heart disease or other problems. But since it only included observational studies, the review can't prove that these dietary habits will protect people from heart disease and death, only that the two are connected. People in the studies could have been making other lifestyle choices that would influence the results.

It would not be feasible to do a randomized controlled trial on consumption of fruits and vegetables because it would involve thousands of people eating the same diets for many years, Hu said. In the absence of those, large prospective cohort studies like the ones he looked at are the best available evidence, he said.

Randomized trials have found a connection between a generally healthy diet and delayed onset of heart disease, Hu’s coauthor Wei Bao told Reuters Health by email.

“For instance, the Lyon Diet Heart Study and the PREDIMED study have shown a significant reduction of cardiovascular events by a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern which includes a large amount of fruits and vegetables,” said Bao, a postdoctoral fellow at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health in Rockville, Maryland.

The vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables may improve blood lipids and blood pressure and reduce insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, Hu said.

Eating more than five servings daily may confer benefits in other areas, like stroke risk, and even if it does not, there is no evidence of harm from a high-plant diet, he said.

"Since the average consumption of fruits/veggies in the general population is far below five servings per day, there is still a long way to go before meeting the recommended intakes," Hu said.

They did not look at individual fruits and vegetables, and more research will be needed to examine the health effects of specific foods in this category, he said.

Don't eat this in the morning!

Let me ask you a question:  Do you eat oatmeal for breakfast? While it certainly can be a solid, healthy option, most are heavily processed and absolutely TERRIBLE for you.

For example, the next time you are at the store, take a look at a brand of "heart-healthy" instant oatmeal (their claim), the "Maple and Brown Sugar" flavor.

First, there is no maple in it. There is also no brown sugar in it. Instead, it's packed with artificial ingredients, colors, and flavors. It's also packed with regular sugar and I've even seen some varieties with the "flavor" gel packets full of high fructose corn syrup...talk about royally screwing up oatmeal!

This product also has a significantly higher glycemic index than regular "old fashioned oatmeal" due to it's instant nature where it's been pre-cooked via high-heat processing. This high heat processing also robs the oatmeal of many important vitamins and minerals, making it an overall less nutritious product.

So, if you're going to go with oatmeal, please stay away from the instant, processed, sugar-laden versions.

Instead, the best choice is plain ol' steel cut oats. While they take a few extra minutes to cook, it's certainly worth it for the lower glycemic index, extra fiber, and greater vitamin and mineral content...all while avoiding all that processed garbage.

Steel cut oats will also leave you feeling fuller, longer, and you'll probably find that you enjoy the more firm texture and nuttier flavor a LOT more than mushy instant oatmeal anyway. 

Thank you Joel and Josh from BioTrust Nutrition.

5 Foods You Should Stop Eating (and What to Eat Instead)

There are many foods in this world you would have been better off never eating.

This is especially true for junk/processed foods. While undeniably tasty and addicting, most of these foods have detrimental effects on your body.

In addition, they fail to provide your body with the necessary micronutrients to function optimally.

Here are five foods you should consider staying away from.

1. Do Not Eat: Fried Food

Fried food is loaded with fat and calories while offering zero nutritional value. It’s a lose-lose! Sure, fries and chips TASTE good, but healthier items also taste good. Just say no to the deep fried items on your menu. You’ll be thinner, healthier and won’t have greasy fingers.

Try This Instead: Broiled

If you simply must have a French fry, then make them at home in your oven. Use sweet potatoes, as these are a more complex carbohydrate. Cut into matchsticks, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil along with a dash of salt, then place in your oven on broil. Turn every five minutes until the fries are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.

2. Do Not Eat: White Bread

White bread products have minimal nutritional value and are quickly converted by your body into sugar. So you may as well eat a cupcake. Even breads that are technically wheat, but are as soft and smooth as white bread, should be avoided. Don’t be afraid to discard the bread from your sandwich or to push away that bread basket. Your waist will shrink and you’ll lose that bloated feeling that high carbohydrate meals give you.

Try This Instead: Sprouted Grain Bread

If you must have bread, then stick with sprouted. Sprouted grain bread is a lot easier on your digestion and is packed full of nutrients. Two delicious brands are Food For Life’s Ezekiel bread, and Manna Organics. Sprouted grain breads are often kept in the freezer section since they don’t contain preservatives to prolong shelf life.

3. Do Not Eat: Creamy Salad Dressing

You were so good to order a salad, but then canceled out the low-cal benefits by drenching the salad in fattening creamy dressing. Just a few tablespoons of creamy dressing contain more than 20 grams of fat and hundreds of calories.

Try This Instead: Vinegar Dressing

Vinegar-based dressings pack amazing flavor in with minimal fat and calories. You can even mix your own dressing at home. Take high quality vinegar, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper, your choice of dried herbs, and a bit of olive oil.

4. Do Not Eat: White Sugar

Sugar and high fructose corn syrup are the epitome of anti-fitness food. Nothing will destroy your progress, expand your waist and plummet your energy levels like sugar. If you only take away one do-not-eat food from this slideshow, please let it be sugar.

Try This Instead: Fruit

Don’t turn to artificial sweeteners to get your sweet fix, instead turn to nature’s wholesome source of sugar: fruit. Eat organic fruit that is seasonal and locally grown. Stay away from dried fruit and fruit juices, as these are high in simple calories.

5. Do Not Eat: Frozen Meals

These babies are convenient (Hello, dinner in five minutes or less!) but are often heavily processed and filled with fat and salt. Not only are they stripped of life’s most important nutrients (minerals and phytonutrients) but they’re often time filled with preservatives that are harmful to your body.

Try This Instead: Whole Foods

Instead of going this route, make a big meal (like a yummy soup or stew) at home when you have some downtime, portion it out, and freeze the servings. Frozen fruits and veggies are OK, too, as long as you look for options without added sauces or salt.

The Training Tip That Keeps You Injury Free

Endurance athletes were 5 times more likely to get injured when they avoided this part of their regimen

BY BRIAN DALEK

A regular rest day may be just as important as your long run. Endurance athletes who took less than two days off per week were 5 times more likely to have an overuse injury while training, reports new research from Finland.

In the study, top-level Finnish athletes—from runners to swimmers to cross-country skiiers—tallied their injuries over the course of a year. Along with inadequate rest, overuse injuries in spots like the Achilles tendon, knee, and shoulder sidelined athletes when training volumes eclipsed a massive 700 hours a year.

While you’re not likely training two hours every day, you may be just as susceptive to overuse injuries if you ramp up training too fast. “People often have an end goal in place, and every day of training seems crucial, so you override it,” says Lee Troop, a former Olympic marathoner for Australia and head coach of the Boulder Track Club.

Troop points to himself as an example of overtraining. Heading into the 2004 Athens Olympics, Troop says he ran almost 1,000 straight days, and pushed the envelope too hard. Three weeks before the games, he was drained. “I normally have five gears, but only four gears were working,” he says. Troop placed 27th.

That’s how an overuse injury gets you: Pain and fatigue gradually get worse the more you repetitively exercise the same muscles despite not having anything traumatic—like a rolled ankle—happen. The discomfort can get to the point where you either have to stop training or see a doctor.

Troop advises his beginning athletes to rest two days a week and watch for subtle signs of overtraining. You won’t always feel an oncoming pain while working out because your body is warmed up. But if you’re at work with an aching knee or lower back, consider scheduling a massage or get on a foam roller more often, he says.

Exercise Order – How To Arrange The Exercises In Your Workout

Once you select the weight training exercises you will perform during each of your workouts, the next decision you need to make is what order to perform them in.

As is the case with most aspects of creating an effective weight training routine, exercise order can vary significantly based on factors specific to you and your goal.

Having said that, there are some general rules that tend to apply in the majority of cases. Here now are those rules…

The General Rules Of Exercise Order

For most of the people, most of the time, proper exercise order can be summed up in one simple sentence:

More demanding exercises should be performed before less demanding exercises.

Here are the most common examples of what that means…

1. Exercises for bigger muscles should come before exercises for smaller muscles.
   Examples: Chest or back before shoulders, biceps or triceps. Shoulders before biceps or triceps. Quads or hamstrings before calves or abs.
2. Compound exercises should come before isolation exercises.
   Examples: Bench press before dumbbell flyes. Overhead press before lateral raises. Squats before leg extensions. Romanian deadlifts before leg curls.
3. Free weight/body weight exercises should come before machines.
   Squats or deadlifts before leg presses. Barbell bench press before incline machine press. Pull-ups before chest supported machine rows.

As I mentioned earlier, there are plenty of times when it might make sense to deviate slightly from these rules based on various individual factors, but in general… these rules should apply in most workout routines.

When More Than 1 Muscle Group Is Trained In The Same Workout

Now, you may be wondering what should happen when you are training more than one muscle group in a workout… as most people will be. In fact, the many people using a full body split or upper/lower split will be training quite a few muscle groups per workout.

As you already learned in rule #1 above, exercises for bigger muscle groups should come before exercises for smaller muscle groups.

This is easy when it comes down to obvious stuff like training chest before triceps or quads before calves, but what about when there’s more than one big muscle group being trained in the same workout?

Simple… all of the above rules still apply, even if it means you end up having to train each muscle group out of order.

Meaning, instead of doing all of the exercises for the same muscle group back-to-back and then doing all of the exercises for the next muscle group back-to-back, you might do an exercise for Muscle A, then Muscle B, then Muscle A again.

This is perfectly fine and perfectly normal and SHOULD happen to ensure you are performing your exercises in their optimal order.

Once again, here’s a reminder that there are certain instances where it might make sense to stray from these guidelines. However, since I can’t predict every possible scenario for every person’s specific situation, the best I can do is tell you what guidelines should be followed in mostcases.

And, in most cases, these are the rules of exercise order that should be followed the majority of the time.

What’s Next?

Now that you know what order you will perform your exercises in during each workout, it’s time to figure out how long you should rest between each set of each exercise. Let’s do that…
