Fat-Burning Machine is Going Live!

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed, News & Media

I’m excited to let you know that I’m going to do live training! It is an Accelerated Fat-Burning Machine course that lasts for 10 weeks. Let me know if there is a time that works best for you. (Survey link at the bottom.)

Over the last couple of years, I’ve done live training courses for local people. While the book is a great resource, I have found that many people want more guidance – a step-by-step plan with “bite-sized goals” to become a Fat-Burning Machine. Additionally people want to have a trusted source for questions. The most asked questions include those…Read More »

Fat Burning Tablets Lead to Acute Liver Failure

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed

 

Sadly, there is a segment of product marketing that sells people the idea that fat burning and weight loss is as easy as popping pills. These pills, marketed as dietary supplements with no regulation, prey on people desperate to lose weight.

Doctors in one clinic concluded that these fat burning pills were the cause of admission to their clinic. The first patient developed acute liver failure and required a liver transplant. A second patient required several surgeries to address severe liver bleeding. The third patient mentioned in the abstract report was treated for two separate episodes of fat-burner-pill induced liver…Read More »

Food Labels can be off by 20 Percent

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed, News & Media, Nutrition, Uncategorized

 

If you once were, or still are, a calorie-counter you may be surprised to know that food labels are allowed to be off by as much as 20%. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Nutrition Labeling Guide notes that for calories, sugars, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, food manufacturers are considered in compliance if they are within 20% of the value shown on the label.

For example, if you select a packaged snack that contains 100 calories – that snack could contain up to 120 calories and still be within federal labeling guidelines. A 150-calorie snack could contain…Read More »

Is the Fat-Burning Machine Method Optimal for Treating Metabolic Disease?     

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed, News & Media

 

When I read that researchers at the Universities of British Columbia and Toronto in Canada proposed that restricting carbohydrates and combining this eating strategy with high-intensity interval training (Miracle Intervals), I was thrilled.

Three years ago when we were working on the Fat-Burning Machine methodology, we knew of no one that was combining an eating strategy with exercise. After we saw success with Mike and then participants in two pilot programs, I tried to get a university to study the Fat-Burning Machine one-two punch. I couldn’t get anyone to take on the project.

Now, Canadian researchers are hypothesizing that the very…Read More »

3 Halloween Tips to Avoid Regret

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed

 

It probably won’t be a surprise that Halloween is the biggest holiday for candy makers. They rake in 8% of annual sales during Halloween. Understandably, you don’t want to be the one house in the neighborhood handing out carrot sticks.

At the same time, you don’t want the profits of candy makers to be displayed around your waist. After all, they enjoy great financial benefits by helping to make you fat. And, if they can get you hooked on the sweet stuff, they stand to profit for many weeks to come.

So how can you participate in the holiday without wrecking…Read More »

HOW much sugar has been added to that yogurt? Nearly 7 teaspoons in a cup?!   

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed, News & Media, Nutrition

 

I went to a breakfast buffet this morning and like normal, I read the labels on two containers of yogurt. The one on the left is non-fat plain. The one on the right is full-fat honey flavor.

The one on the left has 6 grams of sugars in a cup. Those sugars come from milk’s naturally occurring sugars – lactose. The one on the right has a whopping 33 grams of sugars. If we pull out the 6 grams of naturally occurring sugars in one cup of plain yogurt, that means 27 grams of sugar has been added to the honey…Read More »

Baked Country Pork Ribs

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed, Recipes

 

Ingredients

3-6 Country style pork ribs

Pyrex baking dish

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit while preparing the ribs.

You can use any quantity you please, but my family likes leftovers so I purchased a package of six ribs. The ribs are large and more than some people want to eat, so I cut each large rib in half.

Placing Gale’s Pork and Poultry Rub into a flat plate, roll each rib on all sides in the rub. I like light seasoning, so I don’t “pack” the meat with seasoning. (You can rub the ribs with any spices you please and this method of…Read More »

Gale’s Pork and Poultry Rub

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed, Recipes

 

Use a small mixing bowl to blend the following ingredients together:

2 Tbsp dried rosemary

2 Tbsp dried onion flakes

2 Tbsp dried savory spice (found at my local grocery store)

2 Tbsp garlic powder

2 Tbsp sea salt (I prefer pink Himalayan. If you’re concerned about sodium intake, cut this in half.)

1 Tbsp dried thyme

1 Tbsp dried parsley

1 Tbsp dried sage

¼-tsp cinnamon (I just measured half of a ½-teaspoon)

¼-tsp nutmeg

After mixing the ingredients together, store in an air-tight container. This recipe makes more than enough for an entire chicken or six country-style pork ribs.

The ingredients will separate some, so it’s best to stir…Read More »

Q: Evidence is strong, do not consume sugar drinks. Is diet soda a better choice?

by Gale Bernhardt , Home Page Feed, Nutrition

 

A recent Facebook discussion raised a good question. One of the Fat-Burners, Brad, that took my accelerated class asked me to comment.

Q:  Evidence against full-sugar drinks is strong, consistent and universally negative. Evidence against diet sodas is weak, inconsistent and more reputable sources always say, “more research is needed.” If you have to drink soda, diet is probably the better choice. Is this true?

A: Great question! With any food study, there are always confounding factors. What I mean by that is when people consume any artificial sweetener (AS) there is variation in which sweetener is used in the study…Read More »
