“Micro-Session” Cardio Works Best
This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson.
Several recent studies have pointed to the validity of doing very short cardio sessions (10 minutes) several times a day as being as beneficial… or even better… than one longer session. I agree, assuming you do some form of interval work in your cardio sessions. In fact, unless you want to drop a lot of bodyfat, you can get by with one 9-minute session a day if you do it right.
Quick Start: Try three super-short sessions with at least a 2-3 minute higher-intensity ‘burst’ in the middle. You do not have to go to the gym to do this. You can do this by walking stairs, stepping up and down on a low platform, or even walking outside. Let’s face it: 10 minutes is a lot easier on the brain than 30 minutes… and just as good.
For More Information: When you pick up my book The Every Other Day Diet you’ll have a chance to get my book 7 Minute Body for 1/3 the retail price for a limited time only.
In 7 Minute Body, I cover my personal 9 and 15-minute cardio sessions, my 3-minute abs workout (no kidding… I do not train my abs for more than 3 minutes!) and more.

The “Cost” of Eating Healthy
This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson.
One of the biggest myths out there is the myth that eating healthy costs too much.
Just the opposite… and I’ll prove it to you in three ways.
#1: Cash
Here’s some sample figures courtesy of my friend Scott Tousignant’s fitness blog…
2 medium size sweet potatoes $1 or… small fries from a fast food joint
2 red peppers $1 or… a can of pop
Bowl of oatmeal with fruit & protein powder $2 or… large bag of chips
6 Chicken Breasts $10 or… a sub combo from a fast food joint
18 eggs $3.50 or… a burger from a fast food joint
2 salmon fillets $15 or… large pizza
Loaded chicken salad (homemade) $3 or… bag of cookies
Large bag of oatmeal $3.50 or… 4 chocolate bars
Not much of a comparison, it is?
Yet the foods on the left would feed a family of two or more for 4-7 days… the foods on the right? 2-3 days if you live through it.
Tips to make the most expensive part of eating healthy — the cost of quality meats — go further include…
1. Use tofu fillers in chicken and beef recipes. Even if you hate tofu, you can barely taste the difference when combined properly.
2. Buy your meats in bulk online. You can find less expensive grass-fed beef and naturally-raised chicken and have it delivered to you if you live near a large city. If not, check the local farmers.
3. Eat meat only 3-4 times per week and use black beans with rice or inexpensive tuna for your other days. I eat tuna cooked in a skillet with lots of veggies and some olive oil almost every night and I LOVE the taste!
My book The Every Other Day Diet has over 40 pages of recipes in it to help you eat healthy and cheap… and you can still eat out and consume your favorite foods several times per week.
#2: Your Health
Do we ‘really’ need to talk about buy new (usually larger) clothes every year or two? Or about the health care costs associated with being even 20 pounds over your ideal weight, let alone more? How about the time you miss from work with excessive colds?
Eating healthy and taking care of your body adds years to your life… and for the record, the years eating poorly takes away from your life, on average, costs each American over 80,000 in medical expenses.
Want to add that to your food budget?
#3: The Big Picture
Anyone who has been fit knows the joy it brings… the freedom you feel from wearing whatever you want… the productivity you see from increased energy… the pace at which you move during the day.
Not only are these gifts priceless, but they are also massive cash-savers. Your productivity alone can add thousands to your bottom line each year, well off-setting any costs associated with eating quality food.
The Bottom Line…
Like any good accountant would suggest, you need to look at your ROI (return on investment) if nothing else.
What does investing in a better body, greater health, and vibrant energy do for your life? How can that actually translate into more income AND less expense?
You will be surprised.

SIRT1: Is Your Fat-Burning Gene Turned On?
This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson.
You may have this gene.
It may be turned “off” right now… in fact it probably is.
There’s a problem with that:
This gene helps you melt off bodyfat.
It would be pretty nice to turn that sucker on, right?
Here’s the article on…
1. What SIRT1 is;
2. How you can “turn it on”
3. How to keep it on
What Is SIRT1?
Simply put, SIRT1 is a “rescue gene”. This gene is activated during times of fasting to, for a very SHORT period of time, access more stored bodyfat.
That’s a good thing.
The problems are…
1. Fasting is not good for the metabolism if done for more than a day;
2. This trick doesn’t work well over the long-run.
SIRT1 is practically dormant in most people as we have a surplus of food. We consume, on average, about 30% more food than our bodies require every single day.
It’s no wonder this gene went to sleep…
… and it’s time you wake it up.
How To Turn On SIRT1
As mentioned above, fasting for a day will activate SIRT1 if practiced for a few weeks. So you eat one day, fast the next, and keep this up for 1-2 weeks.
But… let’s face it. Most of us do not like the idea of NOT eating for a full day.
So I have two alternatives that work just as well to activate SIRT1 and NOT shut down your metabolism over the long-haul (as weekly fasting like this can do.)
If you want to try a fruit fast every other day you can do so. This is much healthier and much easier on the body than an all-out fast.
However, for some people the sugar in fruit can trigger over-eating… and we don’t want that.
TIP 2: Stagger your calories
I teach this trick here:
Why This Works <--- click.here
But I take it a step further: I let you in on how you can stagger your “macronutrients” and your calories without having to think too much about it.
I call this my “Favorite Foods Plan” because it demands you consume high-calorie foods that you enjoy at specific times on specific days.
The other days are low in calories, higher in lean protein, but still contain real food.
Fasting is not necessary. The “starvation” switch that triggers SIRT1 has been shown to be triggered after only a day or two of low-calorie eating.
You just can’t do that very long without higher- calorie days… and THAT is the nifty trick you need to learn.
I wrote the book on the subject… literally. : )

How Do You Keep SIRT1 “On”?
Simple: You stay on this cycle-your-calories dietplan… yep. That’s necessary. This is for LIFETIME fatloss… not a crash dietplan… they never, EVER get you what you want.
You want to be lean for life… no exceptions.
So to do that you need all the genetic help you can get…. and SIRT1 is part of that plan.

P.S. I’ve made the science part of this article pretty straight-forward. Personally I love science stuff but I slept through most of the boring parts. ; )
However, this is science you can USE… as in right now… today…
And you definitely need to make sure SIRT1 is alive and well… working away to help you shed more weight…
