Just in case you missed the news… yep, I’m engaged!

My fiancé’s name is Hanna. She’s from Iraq… Baghdad actually. She grew up there and modeled in Lebanon, taught history, and then moved here 1.5 years go.

To let you know how clueless I was about the Middle East, I thought every woman from Baghdad wore burkas and were forbidden to speak! (I’m kidding… but I was almost THAT clueless!)

Hanna educated me on the reality of Middle Eastern culture, and from there a great friendship turned into a wonderful romance.

We met in Austin, Texas where we will both be moving in August. I’m leaving my part-time home in San Diego, despite the INCREDIBLE weather, to be around the dozens of friends we’ve already made in Austin.

For those of you not from Texas, Austin is widely-held as the coolest place to live in the State that loves to forget it’s own history. (See “Texas School Board vs Reality”, coming soon to a theater near you.) It’s still hot as hell, but it’s a very pretty town full of really Bohemian-style people… well, a mix actually. Fun place for music, too.

I’m excited as both Hanna and I will be training with world-class figure trainer (and bodybuilder) Dave “The Texas Shredder” Gooden. Dave and I met a few weeks ago and I think we’ll be able to push my 46 (nearly 47) year old body to the absolute max. Hanna has just started working out and already she’s finding toned legs and a curvy butt that makes her look even more beautiful than before… and that’s a feat! ; )

Until July 6th…

You can pick up a free “mystery” book (one of my top-selling e-books!) FREE when you pick up The Every Other Day Diet.

It’s my way of continuing the celebration of my engagement!

One of the most common questions I get asked is:

“What should I eat before my workouts if I want to get rid of bodyfat?”

The answer?

NOTHING.

I’ve been saying this for almost a decade now… and research is catching up with the idea.

It’s nice to be right. : )

Several studies now confirm that exercising while your body is low on food may be a good way to trim excess fat.

European researchers found that cyclists who trained without eating burned significantly more fat than their counterparts who ate. Now, this is important: Cycling requires a LOT of energy. Far more energy than you need to get rid of bodyfat.

Working out with weights and doing moderate to intense (but short) cardio will take care of 99% of your needs when it comes to fatburning.

But with weights, and espeically with the cyclists that were tested, performance may be an issue.

In fact the members of the group of cyclists that didn’t eat performed worse on the intensive training. Still, they burned a higher proportion of fat to carbohydrates than the group that ate. (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.)

Why? Simple. Your body’s blood sugar is lowest in the morning prior to eating. When you train, moderately or with intensity, most of your fuel comes from your bodyfat and NOT ingested carbs. Isn’t that cool?

Which would you rather burn… bodyfat or carbs?

Yeah, me too. : )

About performance: I have found that my performance only suffers slightly when fasting and training for the first few weeks. After that my performance increases. The body starts to burn its own bodfyat far more efficiently so I find I have PLENTY of energy.

This was not a lone study on fasting and training. In a 2008 study, Hespel and colleagues tested the effects on men who did endurance training without eating versus those who ate. In the athletes who hadn’t eaten, the researchers found a spike in the amount of proteins needed to process fat, meaning their bodies had been primed through fasting to get rid of more bodyfat.

So, now you know the answer to the old question: “What should I eat before training?”

Nothing… or as little as possible.

In my next email I’ll tell you what to eat AFTER your workouts to REALLY jack your fatburning through the roof…

… and no, it’s not “nothing”. It’s something special. ; )

P.S. If you want the best diet possible to turn your body into a fat-burning machine along with my personal workout plan for fasting cardio… and a plan that works in your favorite foods too … then look no further than this:

“Weren’t You Afraid to Be in Bangkok?”

I’ve heard that question a lot since returning from my recent trip to Thailand. The answer is NO, I wasn’t afraid in the slightest because I know what is actually going on there. You probably don’t have a clue what the real situation is in Bangkok because you, like the other people who ask me, are getting your information from the bad general media. If the bad media reporters in the field actually know what is happening with the red shirt mob, the bad media is certainly NOT portraying it with any accuracy.

ALL the civil unrest problems regarding the red shirt faction are caused by BAD Government. A vast majority of Thai people identify with the Red Shirts and they also believe the bad government is illegitimate. The bad government is being supported by the misreporting of the bad media both in Thailand and abroad.

I’ll present a brief recent history. Prime Minister Thaksin was the elected head of the Thai government but some Bangkok business people didn’t like him. So in 2006, they convinced and/or bribed the Army into staging a coup. The Military government ordered Thaksin’s Thai Rak Thai party disolved before the next election but a renamed party with many of the former Thai Rak Thai party, won the 2007 election despite Thaksin having been forbidden from running.

The situation of having a party in control that was actually favored by a majority of Thai people, as Thaksin’s was before, did not sit well with those big money people in Bangkok who had payed to have him removed. So they dipped into their deep pockets again to finance the ‘PAD Yellow Shirt Mob’ which protested and closed down the Phuket and Bangkok airports in 2008. The yellow shirts demanded that Somchi, (Thaksin’s brother-in-law) step down on the flimsy reason that he participated in a television show about cooking. Ultimately, he was forced out and the Bangkok money people then had their corrupt control of the Thailand government.

The Red Shirts are people who want the Thai government to be people that the majority of Thais elect. The red shirts chose the business/commercial area in Bangkok to occupy BECAUSE that is where the money that bought their government away from them came from. And the military is cracking down and killing protesters (when they didn’t during the Yellow Shirt demonstrations) because the big money people who own the government are loosing money during this Red Shirt stand-off.

The bad media is controlled by big money interests and they certainly don’t want to show the situation in Bangkok for what it really is. And the only REAL difference between the bad government political situation in Bangkok and the bad government here, is that in Thailand people believe that the party that was ousted was not owned by big money interests. Here, the people have no hope of exchanging the bad government for one that is not corrupt and in the pockets of big money, because both sides of the bad political spectrum are owned in full by big business and big money interests. But of course the big money owned bad media doesn’t report on the true situation here either.

The neon lights strobe in a hypnotic pulse and the music of a thousand speakers throbs. This is Bangkok and the beating heart of Asian nightlife. It seems like an entire city knows how to seduce.

The girls outside each bar to entice in patrons know how to seduce as well. Their hips sway to a hypnotic rhythm and if a man’s gaze lingers then the seduction is done. His pulse throbs as the Asian nightlife lures him inside the nest of seduction.

Who can resist this hypnotic seduction of the Asian nightlife in Bangkok? What man really wants to try resisting?

How to Seduce like a Pro

I’m sweating like a cold beer in the hot sun but the night is mild. Is it the short shorts, the parade of belly-buttons at slender waist, or both and the throbbing reminder of what is to come in this Asian nightlife. What man can frown in this land of smiles.

Secret of Screening your W4M Contacts

Get the BEST of your W4M Experience with SECRET.W4M.CA

I’ve analyzed my experiences getting women with w4m ads and I’ll share my findings. When contacting a female who has advertised herself as w4m seeking ‘casual encounter’, I’ve often found the girl wants p4p (pay for play). If that’s what a guy searching for w4m wants too, then great. The most sure way of how to seduce is to find a w4m girl who is soliciting business. The seduction happens when the money is negotiated.

But what if the guy is hoping to seduce or honing his skill at how to seduce?

Secrets Attract Girls

“I’ll tell you a dirty little secret.” The black belt seducer leans intimately closer to the woman he is hoping to seduce. The girl is a raven-haired babe in a skimpy black dress with spaghetti straps and his eyes are immediately drawn by a subliminal magnet into the inviting shadow of her cleavage. “Will you promise not to be a tattle tale tart?”

Secret Attract Women

“That depends,” the attractive lady replies in a husky voice, “on how naughty your secret is.” The dusky lady’s eyes flash with mystery and her thick mascara lashes droop over a pair of molasses browns.

“The secret of attracting women,” the seducing man has his lips so close to her ear that his warm breath sends thrills of pleasure down the nape of her neck, “is ultra-classified information that I dare not divulge here in public.”

“I am a woman.” The seductive girl says in a laughing tone. “I already know what attracts me.”

“Are you certain?” The pick up artist whispers. “A secret isn’t worth being secretive about, if it is something that nearly everyone is aware of. The enigma I can relate will floor you.”

“Or will it bed me?” The female turns her lovely face to scrutinize his secretive gray eyes.

“Isn’t that a delicious portion of this thrilling mystery?” The black belt seducer has a smile on his lips. The seduction of this attractive girl has now arrived at the final cusp. The seducing process began with his reading the signs of her attraction, or rather with his inducing the female attracting factors that would ultimately attract this sexy woman into displaying the signals of her mounting attraction to him.

“Those are called the Skimmerhorns.” Her eyes flicked up to the west-facing ridge and then back to her cup of java. She wrapped her both hands around the warm cardboard tumbler but the steep scarps juxtaposed as an icon of her career and her voice cooled. “They’re probably not surmountable from this side.”

“Some say the world will end in fire, 
some say in ice.” Romero sensed pessimism and presumed it harkened from the dirty tactic of a boss using her for a client perquisite. Poetry is conducive to hypnotic seduction. “From what I’ve tasted of desire, 
I hold with those who favor fire.
”

“Did you just make that up?” Jessica’s eyes broke from her idle focus, as if under hypnosis, and widened as she looked up. Tasted desire fit with a cagey coxswain’s using poetry to topple a woman’s resolve and seduce her but the world ending clashed with a seduction pattern.

“But if it had to perish twice, 
I think I know enough of hate
. To say that for destruction ice, 
is also great, 
and would suffice.” The hypnotic reciting made Romero recall when he heard it first. “Robert Frost.”

“What’s so funny?” The girl had seen a hidden smile. She had also just taken several stimulating strikes. His masculine timbre had been melodic and seductively hypnotic. Even the content of the verse was oddly soothing and mesmerizing.

“I was at a teenage stage,” he paused briefly but decided this true anecdote was safe to tell, “and I thought I should always seem manly but I found a poetry book.” He looked at the entrancing woman with bedroom lidded eyes. She had him ensnared with a power stronger than hypnotism. “I was reading it in bed when my dad walked in unexpectedly: I quickly shoved it under the blankets.”

“Like it was your mom catching you with a smut magazine.” Jessica’s eyes twinkled seductively and she giggled at the turnabout humor. She could have been a poster girl for seduce weekly magazine.

“My dad’s keen perception caught my ruse and I showed my shameful doings.” Romero recalled how sheepish he’d felt. “After a glance at the cover, he smiled and recited that poem from memory.”

“Your father’s acceptance,” the young woman found the moral but was rattled by the rapid flurry of sensitivity, poignancy, hypnotic seduction and even some vulnerability with humor—she chose her wording carelessly, “had the effect of strengthening your manhood.”

“Those girlie pictures would’ve also bolstered it more.” He pounced at the opening and enjoyed her resulting seductive titter along with her attractive blush.

Learning to pickup girls

“Admit it, Carl. You love me. Do any other supervisors let you use company funds to buy clothes?” Gunter good-naturedly pushed the older man’s shoulder. “How many will volunteer to be your wing-man to meet some of the women you wanted to impress and pickup?”

“What women?” Carl mocked surprise but he really thought going out looking for girls with Gunter would be interesting.

“There are fabulous females all over this town! Your subconscious mind has your head has been bobbling like a spring-necked dash ornament. That not a subtle subliminal message.”

“I’ll pickup a couple drinks with you but Hamster Man’s never done well with picking up ladies. He’ll just cramp your woman attracting style.”

“So why is it you haven’t had girlfriends?” Gunter asked as they found seats in a trendy nightclub. “You’re a good looking guy. Do you have good pickup lines?”

“Hearing that from a male doesn’t count for much. Females I’ve tried pickup lines on just don’t seem to have the same opinion as you.”

“You’ve never done well with girls?”

“Not really. I’ve gotten used to that fact and I accept it.”

“Have you tried getting into a girl’s subconscious mind with subliminal messages?” The young assassin asked abruptly. “A subliminal approach to attracting girls works better than any pick up line ever devised.

Attract Women

The girl getter carefully bolted the solid door behind him. A quick glance proved that all the girls he got were in place. After a double thumbs-up to the all-female cast, Yuri drew aside the curtains. From inside, all Boris and his men could see was the young Russian standing in front of six very lovely young women perched elegantly on straight-backed chairs.

From the other side, the girls just saw themselves reflected in the one-way bulletproof glass. Now this is going to be some real fun. The lucky guy was geared up for a stellar performance. He wished he knew how to get girls like this in real life.

As the sleazy bar owner watched in rapt fascination, Yuri lined the ladies up in front of the window.

Disdainfully, the young slave master ordered them to disrobe. He walked among them roughly urging open buttons, unclasping bras and ripping down panties. Boris was impressed and quite jealous of the way that the lucky young man commanded the women’s unquestioning obedience.

Getting Lucky with Girls is a SKILL you CAN Learn

“I need to get such girls.” Boris muttered past the saliva pooling in his lower lip. He was aroused both by the show and from a vision of all of the money the girls would get for him. Each was a beauty one could’ve been seen on a high fashion catwalk. There was no way to choose only four of these fabulous females. He had to have all the girls. Lucky would lend the extra money at his usual exorbitant rates.

The curtains closed.
