The Only Food to Guarantee Valentine's Day Success

Here it is: CACAO! Chocolate has it, but because chocolate bars are so over processed, the benefits are negated. To get all the benefits from chocolate you have heard about (including boosting your love life), check out the blog. Or, just take a short cut and make the new "Chocolicious Puud'n (or ice cream)!" recipe from the "Deserts" section on www.hardbodcafe.com.  

   

Muscle Failure Means Success

If you train at the X Gym or have trained at the X Gym, you already know about our emphasis on muscle failure. This is the best way to get the message to the muscles that they need to change. It's a difficult concept for some to grasp, but now we have a video to explain it! Just click below.

Train Your Brain for Fast, Fun Fitness! 

For your suggestion this time, check out the video above. Then eat some of X Gym's new pudding recipe for brain boosting power! It freezes soft enough to be great ice cream too, so be sure to try it ASAP!

Is the China Study really "all that?"
The book is no doubt popular and it's quote by thousands who are on the side of vegetarianism, but you should read this first before citing it as reliable science. If you run into a real scientist without this information, you may end up with egg on your face.

Chocolate as a weight loss aid?
I sure think so. But not the chocolate you might be familiar with. Real chocolate, AKA cacao (not cocoa) is high fiber and low carb. It also has protein, so the macro nutrient ratio, coupled with the fact that it is anti-inflamatory, makes it a weight loss food! Chocolate bars however, are a weight gain food, so stay away from those! What are your options? Just read the blog to find out.
