Why People Are Skinny Fat (and How to Fix It)
Are you skinny fat? Here are the three things you must do to fix it . . .
Read MorePizza doesn’t have to be unhealthy when you use high-quality dough and choose wholesome toppings.
If you want protein, meat and cheese are the way to go. How about a full serving of different veggies? It’s easy to add the best of the farmers’ market – including zucchini and kale – to your savory pie.
Variety in homemade pizzas doesn’t have to be limited to what you put on top, either.
Replace a soft, pillowy dough with something thin and crispy instead or do away with the traditional wheat crust altogether, using vegetables like roasted zucchini or baked sweet potato as a base.
Select the right combo to suit your dietary needs and you can have pizza as frequently as you’d like!
Enjoy!
If you’re looking for a creative way to enjoy eating veggies, all you have to do is layer on your favorite pizza flavors.
It’s as simple as topping them with mozzarella cheese, fresh tomato, and Italian herbs. Healthy eating has never been so easy and this trick has appeal for everyone from little kids to bachelors.

There are premade dough and crusts at the grocery store, or you can use pita or naan to make a flatbread pizza. From there, you can top it with anything that strikes your fancy. You can’t beat a combo like salty olives and fresh herbs.

This stuffed pizza ends up looking a lot like a real pie – or maybe a pizza cake – and although it looks tough to execute, the only secret is using a round baking pan for the form. This is filled with kale, olives, capers, and cheese, but once you get a feel for the assembly process, sub other fillings like roasted red peppers and shredded chicken.

Get the RecipeWhat if I told you that just about everything magazines and trainers “teach” you about dieting is wrong?
What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?
What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?
And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?
In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?
Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.
And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.
Well, I have good news.
All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.
You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.
And this book will show you the way.

Great ingredients aren't enough to make a great product—you also need correct doses.
That’s why we use the exact doses of every ingredient that have safely produced the desired benefits in peer-reviewed studies.
Where your supplements are made matters, because rules and regulations regarding quality and purity differ from country to country.
And if you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.
That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
We pay a premium to work with the best manufacturers in the country, but it’s the only way we can also produce the best all-natural sports supplements.
Did you know that studies have shown that many supplements contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
Not ours.
Every ingredient of every supplement we produce is tested for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants to ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health and that more research is needed.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
Unlike some supplement companies, we don’t sell dubious white labeled or off-the-shelf formulations.
Instead, our custom and unique formulations are the result of extensive reviews of the scientific literature to discover the most effective ingredients for each.
