Click here to order with your discount code. ThermoFactor is a synergistic formula that successfully addresses major issues associated with weight gain. The ingredients provide powerful thermogenic support and help control the appetite and blood sugar balance: Citrus aurantium Extract (Advantra Z) Advantra Z is extracted from the dried immature fruit of the bitter orange. More effective than ephedrine upon thermogenesis, it increases metabolic rate without the side effects. It helps suppress appetite and increase the release of fatty acids from storage. Athletes benefit from the ability to exercise longer without exhaustion or lean tissue loss. Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis): Green tea works synergistically with Advantra Z to increase thermogenesis. It is recognized as an overall health tonic containing powerful antioxidants. L-Tyrosine: The amino acid L-tyrosine increases the appetite suppressing abilities of Advantra Z. It is a precursor to a number of neurotransmitters and hormones. L-tyrosine is a minor stimulant for the release of growth hormone (GH) and thus important for metabolism (including thermogenesis). Chromium: Insulin plays a major role in fat storage. Chromium is a trace mineral that potentiates the effects of insulin, causing less insulin to be needed. Blood sugar levels are thus stabilized, and less fat is stored. Perhaps 90% of all Americans are deficient in chromium. It helps decrease LDL, cholesterol and triglycerides, while raising the levels of desirable HDL. Vanadyl Sulfate: Vanadyl sulfate mimics many of the activities of insulin. It is biologically active even in the absence of insulin. It possesses anti-catabolic properties: reducing the breakdown of muscle protein for energy. It also prevents the storage of excess carbohydrates as fat. Manganese: Manganese is another mineral that plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. It is a cofactor with many of the enzymes that affect sugar metabolism.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) --------------------------------------------------------------- Featured Topic: Why Fat Is Good, How We've Been Lied To About The Obesity Epidemic, And How To Be A Fat Head. Have you seen the news stories about fat in fast food and the obesity epidemic? Did you see Morgan Spurlock's movie "Super Size Me"? Then guess what ... You've been fed a load of bologna. In this interview, comedian, author and speaker  Tom Naughton replies to the Super Size Me crowd by talking about how he lost weight on a fat-laden fast-food diet that included double quarter-pounders and fried chicken. He points out that nearly everything we've been told about obesity and healthy eating is wrong, and why fat is good. Here's a link to Fat Head on Hulu - or you can buy the Fat Head DVD on Amazon. --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Prior to asking your question, PLEASE be considerate and do a search in upper right hand corner of this website for the keywords associated with your question. 90% of the questions we receive have already been asked and answered here at BenGreenfieldFitness.com! ====================================== [contact-form-7 id="6222" title="Ask Ben"]====================================== Jeff has a call-in question about how to exhale when swimming. A listener has a call-in question about cramping in highschool football players. In my response, I recommend listening to this episode about muscle cramping with David Warden from TriTalk. Marcy asks: I just started a boot camp class 3 days a week. It's very hard. I'm not sure I've ever sweat that much. It's showing me that I'm not in as good shape as I thought. But I'm hanging in there. Would you say that that is enough resistance training. There are days that I am quite sore. Or should I add some gym days in between. Lia Marley asks: What are your thoughts on taking the supplement, DMAE? What are the benefits? I've heard that it can help with soreness and stiffness after working out. Glenn asks: Ben, i am training for my first marathon in 3 weeks. I understand some thing about the taper period, but i think i have heard you talk about the loss in fitness level during the taper. What really is going on physiologically during a proper taper? Surely it is more than "rest"? and, more importantly, what kind of GAINS are still available (strength, time to exhaustion, fat burning efficiency, etc.) to me in the next 2 weeks? Alex asks: Hi Ben. I heard you mention pro-biotics a few times but there's this supplement I was planing on buying that contains pre-biotics and they expressly mention it's not pro-biotics. What is the difference and which one is the preferred one? In my response to Alex, I mention Enerprime and Caprobiotics. Paul asks: I'm 5-foot-6 and weight about 150 pounds and I'd like to drop about five pounds by the time the next tri season rolls around. I've found it difficult to drop weight during the tri season, mostly because I don't want to short-change my nutrition while training hard. Now that the tri season is over, do you think it's a better idea to give my body a break and let it naturally pack on a couple of extra pounds over the winter (as it generally would) and then slim down to my new race weight as the next tri season approaches? Or would it be more effective to start slimming down now when I don't have the same nutritional needs as when I'm gearing up for a new season (or in the middle of the season)? Dave asks: I have been using the Restwise software that you discussed. My PO2 is usually in the 94-95% range. Recently had an unplanned ambulance ride and they measured PO2 @ 93. They were very surprised that it was that low. What do the numbers mean and is there an effective way to increase them. The EMT, knowing that I am a competitive athlete, thought it should be around 98%. In my response to Dave, I mention "Floradix" and also this episode with Restwise. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
