PostHeaderIcon Dietary Guidelines

- Six meals per day not including pre workout and post workout meals
- Space meals anywhere from 2 to 4 hours apart
- Meals should be built around protein source
- Prefer anywhere from 1 to 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight
- Good fats must be a part of your diet
- Balanced diet consisting of protein, complex carbohydrates, fruits,
vegetables, and good fats is the best for building muscle and losing fat
- Have carbs after your weight lifting workout no matter what time you
workout
- Limit carbs at night
- Eat majority of carbs and less fat during first half of day and more fat and
less carbs during latter half of day

Schedule your diet so that you eat soon after you wake up in the mornings. From there, create a daily meal plan schedule that will fit your daily schedules. I have a few different daily schedules for the week depending on workout days, rest days, and weekends. Take the time to organize your diet because it’s one of the most important things you can do to help you reach your goals fast! I’ve included some examples on the next few pages.

Scheduling your daily activities is very important. Once you get into a habit of doing this, you will become more consistent with your weight lifting, diet, and cardio. You’ll stick to your diet more often than not.

Don’t get stressed out if you eat something bad. Just get right back on your diet and no harm will be done. It’s okay to cheat on your diet every so often. I do so a few times per week! You can even plan your cheat meals as a reward for following your diet throughout the week.

PostHeaderIcon Weight Training

Develop your Goals
You’ve got to know what you want! To get the body you want, what body weight and body fat percentage do you want? The most important goal for now, though is deciding your goal for this upcoming weight lifting cycle. You must decide whether you want to build muscle or lose fat. We’ll only concentrate on one of these goals per weight lifting cycle. You’ll make more progress this way!

Building Muscle
For a goal of muscle building, you should concentrate on gaining weight each and every week. The faster you want to build muscle, the more weight you should gain each week. I recommend gaining about 1 pound per week. The maximum I recommend gaining per week is 2 pounds of body weight. We try to keep fat gain to a minimum while building muscle through our diet and cardio.

Fat Loss
For a fat loss goal, you need to concentrate on losing weight each and every week.The faster you want to lose fat, the more weight you should lose per week. I recommend aiming to lose about a pound of body weight per week. The maximum weight loss I recommend per week is 2 pounds of body weight. We keep muscle loss to a minimum through weight lifting and diet.

PostHeaderIcon Ethnic Hair Care

April05feature1Over the past two decades, technology for hair care products has evolved significantly,
allowing the market to grow and offer a range of differentiated products designed for the distinctive hair structure and grooming techniques of various consumer groups. Silicones have played a major role in product development (1), in part because of their ability as conditioning agents for softness and manageability, but also because they impart shine. Superior conditioning properties are particularly
important to African-American hair, with its tighter curls and coarser texture than Caucasian hair, as well as its thinner, more variable and elliptical diameter.Because African-American hair also tends to tangle, knot and break easily, mechanical forces such as combing can easily damage the fragile hair,and chemical treatments such as relaxers
and colorants compound these effects. Soft feel, conditioning effects and shine remain key attributes to be obtained from ethnic hair care products, particularly for those who prefer to straighten or color their hair. This article focuses specifically on the needs of African-American hair and on new silicone technologies that can help formulators create
next-generation products that offer multifunctional solutions for consumers.
Focus on Conditioning
While the new silicone resin focuses on styling and maintenance by enhancing shine and straightening, another development in silicone technology can be used to improve hair softness and conditioning. Formulated in leave-on and rinse-off conditioners, an emulsion
based on a newly patented silicone quaternary polymer (6) delivers superior hair softness without greasiness. Its conditioning effects can also be documented by reduced wet and dry combing forces.
