NO bread, NO pasta, NO sugar, and ALL you can EAT of lean meats, seafood, fruits and vegetables! I just returned from my annual Doctor exam at Gundersen Clinic... ALL systems GO! My Doctor wondered at my continual weight LOSS, year after year. Virtually ALL of his other patients GAIN fat, year after year. I explained that each morning, I pour frozen mixed fruits, frozen mixed vegetables, yogurt, ground flax seed, one peeled banana and one peeled orange into a large, stainless steel Vitamix blender container. Next, I add orange juice and (whole) milk, and blend the whole thing up! A small thing, you might think... BUT, with this concoction- I (and my wife!) have had more than the recommended 5 daily portions of fruits and vegetables!! AND had a high protein breakfast to boot!! Not only did I make my breakfast, and my wife's, in about 5 minutes or less... I also ensured our health for the day, and for many days thereafter! I feel really strongly about this: eat like this- follow

Our genome was conditioned and shaped by environmental selective pressures that occurred long before the Agricultural Revolution. Since the appearance of our genus Homo, more than 2 million years ago, there have been at least 100,000 generations. Since the Agricultural Revolution of 10,000 years ago there have been only 500 human generations. Our genome simply has had insufficient time to adapt to the foods ushered in during the Neolithic (fatty meats, dairy products, whole grains and salty foods).

In The Juice Drink Strategy, I have long been searching for the ideal protein source. As you know, protein is extremely important in achieving an ideal diet... in your daily juice drink, you already add yogurt, perhaps milk, and of course even the fruits and vegetables add some protein, since their cell walls are so disrupted that all of the available nutrients are readily available for your body to use! But now, I have found the perfect source of natural, completely absorbable protein ! Egg white protein powder is the perfect solution! Not only is it a perfect, healthy, absorbable form of protein with NO fat, NO sugar- NOTHING you don't want, and everything that you do! And, this powder is very inexpensive, and even cheaper than buying whole eggs!! (And with none of the fat!) I use roughly two heaping tablespoons per juice drink as outlined in The Juice Drink Strategy default juice drink. I even have resourced a great source of this wonder-food: Rose Acre Farms - you can even o

"Let your food be medicine, and your medicine be food!" This quote is as true now as it ever was- EAT PROPERLY, AND MOST OF YOUR ILLS WILL DISAPPEAR!! Of course, exercise and deep breathing also figure into this equation. The Juice Drink Strategy should be your first step! Jay

The psychological benefits of The Juice Drink Strategy or the barbarian diet are another facet that bears further thought: If you are receiving perfect, total nutrition... Don't you think your mental state will benefit, ALONG WITH your physical appearance and strength?? Well, of course! It just makes sense- just as, in the above photo, I am doing a "wheeled pushup", which most 57 year old (or 27 year olds!) could not do one of which! And so, my physical self is in far better condition that average....(I routinely do 10 +). In like manner, I'm sure my mental state is much more tranquil, than someone who eats the typical American/Western "junk food" diet. (Bread, pasta, twinkies, cheeto's, etc.) The brain and psyche are intimately connected with the body... which is intimately connected with the diet! And exercise, but that is another post... Which comes first: "the diet or the exercise?" They are so inter-related! We need both!

Jay, just have a quick question … ok, 2 quick questions … .. 1. My husband takes his lunch every day … .if we shouldn ’ t use white bread, is the whole wheat any better? If we drink the juice in the morning, what can he have for lunch … if I pack like fruit … he doesn ’ t take time for lunch, he eats as he is driving … .he ’ s not happy about giving up his bag of fritos , but he and I are going to try this starting next week … .( I am so excited) I decided to slowly change our eating habits , well in his case anyway.. 2. Can I make the juice drink in the morning and keep it in the refrigerator or in my husband's case in his cooler till we drink it at lunch or is it better to make it and drink it immediately? I n which case I will have to come up with something for Dave for lunch … .(see question 1) I am already doing aerobics, yoga and walking 2 miles at least 2 times a week, but will look into the isometric exercises … those may help my husband as he h

http://www.sandowplus.co.uk/Competition/Atlas/PC-Feb36/36-01.htm The more things change, the more they stay the same! Charles Atlas was a genius- fitness has taken a nose-dive since he left the scene. These exercises are a natural complement to The Juice Drink Strategy!

Lots of folks tell me "Jay, I'd love to try The Juice Drink Strategy to garner the weight loss and health benefits, but I just don't want to spend money to buy a Vitamix blender, darn you!" I sympathize- It's hard to invest in something, when you don't know absolutely that your results will pay off! Let me tell you now: they will! In a big way!! You would pay thousands of dollars if you could experience, beforehand , just how you would feel and look after following the prescriptions outlined in The Juice Drink Strategy! But, there is a way to "preview" the advantages, without spending a cent! Firstly, just cut out all carbohydrates from flour products: (chips, bread, snack foods, etc.) Next, resolve to eat a Barbarian Diet: Lean meats and seafood in unlimited amounts Fruits and vegetables in unlimited amounts Dairy products and eggs and nuts (excluding cashews and peanuts!) in reasonable amounts... Actually, probably more than you currently eat!

HOW to make a juice drink as outlined in "The Juice Drink Strategy" by Jay Bowers

Many, if not most people, assume that those fit, lean folks they see participating in sports achieved that level of fitness by playing sports... No- by developing a fit body, you gain the type of body that performs well at most any sport. But, this body is attained by (you guessed it!): Proper diet ( which is most readily achieved by following the Juice Drink Strategy!) , Proper exercise ( Tranformetrics). Once you have transformed your body utilizing this strategy, why then you certainly can use it to participate in sports activities, which may slightly elevate certain aspects of your fitness. But, in general, sports primarily are for recreation! The above is a photo of me recreating To recap: Exercise is hard, and repetitive, to produce results. Sports are fun. There is a huge difference between the two activities! The above photo is of me "recreating" at the Chicago Board of Trade this summer, courtesy of brother JEFF!

Grain intolerance... Grains are BAD! Meat, fruits, and vegetables! That is IT! Thank you very much... J

So, you've gotten a Vitamix blender... made few drinks for yourself, and maybe your family! Great! "Once begun, half done!" as they say. But now, you need to make it a habit- only by regular, daily usage can you gain the incredible, life-changing results you desire! It takes 28 days to ingrain a lifelong habit. Resolve to start now! Set up all al your equipment, tonight. Make sure your Vitamix is clean , and ready to go. Make sure you have all of your "ingredients" in the refrigerator: Orange juice, milk, yogurt, frozen mixed fruits, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen spinach, frozen berries... Ideally , you will also have: Ground flax meal, whey or egg-white protein powder, a banana and an orange all ready to peel! In the morning, if all of this is ready, it is so easy to get into the routine of : ADDING all of the ingredients by the fridge, then progressing over to the counter and adding in the flax meal and protein, and then peeling the orange and banana an

Here is a typical juice drink....

La Crosse, Wisconsin With a population of about 50,000, La Crosse, Wis., is a great staging ground for exploring the natural wonders of the upper Mississippi River area. Although winters can be bitterly cold, friendly Midwesterners and the nearby ski slopes will keep your spirits high. The spring opens an active outdoor culture of camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing that brings more than a million visitors to the area each year. Explore the mighty Mississippi on a riverboat tour, or try your luck with the northern pike in Lake Onalaska. "Great people, fun town," says Dave Lueck, a 36-year-old graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse . "It's not too big, not too small." And with a 2008 median home sale price of $113,000, it's also an affordable destination.

Many years ago, the big debate in health and fitness was this: All agreed that both exercise and nutrition were crucial in attaining maximum fitness. The big debate was between those that thought that non-apparatus based exercise was the best way to train (Maxalding exercise, Farmer Burns, and Charles Atlas spring to mind in this camp!), and those that insisted that apparatus was the best way- (this would be Bob Hoffman of the York Barbell era, Joe Weider later, and many others)... Nowadays, the man or woman on-the-street would all concur that yes- weight training , meaning machines, cables, spring-exercisers, and every infomercial crazy gizmo that anyone has ever thought of it the proper, scientific way to train! Even cardiovascular work has fallen into this mind-set, since the gym I pass by most days on the way home from work has people running/walking... on treadmills! As for diet, this question of how to obtain the best nutrition has never really even come up! The consensus is to

I think I should post more on this blog- more "human interest" type stuff... just because! Health and fitness are not ALL of life- I mean, old Mustangs are important as well! We got this car for Jane; she deserves a little something for putting up with: me the cats Holly the neighbors and friends (especially PAUL!) weeds global warming (HA HA!) She has wanted "Sally", (Mustang Sally), ever since she was 12 at the NY World's Fair! FINALLY she has her "heart's desire": me. Wrong: a 1965 Mustang, in Wimbledon White. Perfect in every way. Like me.. Wrong. I always want vehicles that... are utilitarian! When I got my John Deere 650 tractor, I loved it so much,(since it could DO so much!), I thought, what could I get to drive around on roads, that would be just like it?? I bought a 1962 Ford F100 truck first. A dream come true! It could do so much WORK! And looked really cool- like Lassie's Dad's truck! THEN, I bought a 1970 Jeep cj5.

Here is daughter Holly in our new/old Mustang- a REAL sports car! Nothing fancy, but CLASSIC! I was thinking how we have gotten away from our roots: remember when a pickup truck was... A TRUCK? Not a crazy, rather ugly vehicle that cost more than a luxury sedan? Somewhere along the line, the humble, utilitarian pickup morphed into a ... designer pickup. Like blue jeans: completely utilitarian, functional, and yet, somehow, cool for all that. Along came designer, useless, ugly, ripped/distressed and decorated, all for MORE than the cost of fine dress pants!! I saw in a car magazine, a reproduction of the 1966 fastback Mustang... looked great! *Just like the original"! The only drawback: the new version had a "designer" brand NEW interior: engine, transmission, interior- all "state-of-the-art". $150,000 dollars... A "designer" version of a classic sports car! We have gone down the wrong (designer) superhighway: too much luxury, too much needless co

If so, here is your solution, my friend! I have come across a site- eyefloaters.info/ If "floaters" have become an issue for you, go there now! The key is in recognizing what is the true problem- and this e-book addresses that, admirably! Do NOT consider surgery, either minor or major- this little e-book tells you just WHAT you need to do to regain your sanity, and your clear vision. I would recommend this e-book to ANYONE who has an issue with "floaters" in their vision! This is the real deal: if you need to solve this problem, go this route! And ignore all others... Jay

Again, I have to stress "The Barbarian Diet"! - Meat, vegetables, fruits,natural fats, and minimal dairy-whole grains-beer/wine. Let's say you are a typical modern American, eating the diet that goes along with it: BAD! (refined carbohydrates, i.e. "sugar", corn syrup i.e. "sugar", soda, i.e. "sugar", fast food, i.e. "mainly sugar"... These all cause the "diseases of civilization"- heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. If you eat "sugar", aka "refined carbohydrates", you stimulate an insulin response, and this is what triggers future cravings for... refined carbohydrates/sugar! and endless, negative (for you health!) cycle. You get the idea! And whenever you make breakfast at home, you make... PANCAKES!! (I know I used to!) Can you say... SUGAR!!! On STEROIDS!!! And you think you should eat healthier, so you eat bagels, (without butter or cream cheese, since that's the bad part!), and eat pasta

Because one can cause the other, it can be tricky to tell the two apart. By Dr. Rob for MSN Health & Fitness Q: I think I have asthma that is triggered by cold air, exercise, and my allergy to hay (I live on a farm). I am also a very emotional person and experience chest tightness and have difficulty taking deep breaths during times of high stress. Are these feelings signs of panic attacks or symptoms of my asthma? A: If your symptoms during times of high stress are similar to what you experience when you are around hay, exercising, or out in cold air, they may be related to your asthma. However, panic attacks may also trigger chest tightness and breathing difficulty, so the two may be interrelated. Either way, the key is in knowing your asthma triggers (stress, allergy, etc.) and taking actions to decrease or prevent the cascade of symptoms from occurring. Is it asthma? Asthma is a respiratory problem that constricts the muscles surrounding the airways and causes the tissues in

By Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief I love my long training runs, but most days carving out more than an hour to work out just isn't in the cards. And when my schedule is really crammed, shoehorning a sweat session seems next to impossible. Luckily, the fantastic fitness team at SELF let me in on a little secret: You can get an hour's worth of fitness and calorie burning in 20 short minutes. Yes, I was skeptical at first, but this fat-blasting routine is as ultraeffective as it is speedy, and the secret lies in high-intensity spurts of energy. Here's how to do it: • Pick any cardio you like (running, swimming, the elliptical trainer). Warm up for 2 minutes at a moderate pace, then sprint for 30 seconds at the highest intensity you can muster. Slow down and do 90 seconds at a catch-your-breath recovery pace. Repeat eight times. You'll torch more calories in less time, while you burn fat faster. Follow this cardio session

By Denise Austin, Prevention One you'll do! When I want quick results, I do interval training. Research shows that vigorous bouts of aerobic exercise followed by easier ones, or mixing cardio intervals with strength training (as I do here), burns tons more calories in less time than if you were to work out at a steady intensity. Intervals supercharge your metabolism, so you burn calories all day long. And constantly switching from one move to the next keeps things interesting. The following program combines kicks, jumps, and squats. It really works your hips, thighs, and buns, so you tone and trim inches at the same time. Your Toning Program Beginner: Do 30 seconds of each of the five exercises; repeat the entire sequence four times for a total of 10 minutes. Advanced: Do 1 minute of each exercise; repeat the entire sequence four times for a 20-minute fat-blasting routine. Do three to five times a week. 1. Front Kicks Stand with your feet apart, left foot in front, an

By Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief Grab your fork: Filling up on healthy foods is the best way to say sayonara to those stubborn 5, 10 or 15 pounds. A few years ago, when I complained about the extra luggage I was carrying, a trainer told me, "That's between you and the bread basket." And she was right . I went on to lose about 25 pounds without counting calories or cutting meals, but rather by reducing refined carbs such as pasta and bagels and increasing the amount of fruit, veggies and lean protein on my plate. Science helps me understand why: Studies suggest that we absorb 6 percent fewer calories when we follow a diet with at least 34 grams a day of fiber (which is chockablock in produce). We also know our bodies expend more energy digesting protein than fat or carbs, and eating at least 50 grams of protein a day can delay hunger pains and boost energy.

Wondering how to get pregnant? Maximize your fertility — and know when to seek help. From MayoClinic.com Some couples seem to get pregnant simply by talking about it. For others, it takes plenty of patience and a bit of luck. If you're wondering how to get pregnant, start the old-fashioned way. Here's what you need to know — and when to seek help. Baby-making basics Conception is based on an intricate series of events. Every month, hormones from your pituitary gland stimulate your ovaries to release an egg, or ovulate. This often happens around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, although the exact timing may vary among women or even from month to month. Once the egg is released, it travels to the fallopian tube. If you want to conceive, now's the time. The egg has about 24 hours to unite with a sperm. Since sperm cells can survive in your reproductive tract for two to three days, it's best to have regular sex during the days leading up to ovulation. If the egg is fertilized

For the health of your baby, make sure your body is ready for its demands. From MayoClinic.com If you've decided you're ready to get pregnant, you may already be emotionally committed to parenthood. But is your body prepared for the task ahead? Ideally, preconception planning begins up to a year before conception. To help ensure a healthy pregnancy, schedule a preconception appointment with your health care provider as soon as you begin thinking about pregnancy. Be ready to answer the following questions. What type of birth control have you been using? If you've been taking birth control pills, your health care provider may recommend a pill-free break before trying to conceive. This will allow your reproductive system to go through several normal cycles before you conceive, which will make it easier to determine when ovulation occurred and establish an expected due date. During the pill-free break, you may want to use condoms or another barrier method of contraception. Are

Choosing a successful strategy that will work for you and the habit you want to break. By Dr. Mark Liponis, PARADE Magazine All of us have some bad habits we'd like to kick. To improve your health, make up your mind that you are ready to change. Then choose a successful strategy that will work for you and the habit you want to break. Here are three techniques: Cold turkey: This is a good choice for people who are determined to change and don't want to mess around any longer. It's best for true physical addictions and for people who tend to have trouble moderating their behavior. Substitute: In many cases, you can substitute a healthy behavior for an unhealthy one. Set limits: For some people, putting a time or quantity limit on a behavior works. Smoking All three strategies can succeed. Cold turkey is the toughest but quickest route. Choose a time when stress is at a minimum and you have a support network. A nicotine substitute is another option. They come in a variety o

By Mary Duenwald from O, The Oprah Magazine Oprah.com Is estrogen safe this week? Does it matter when you start hormone therapy? What does "bioidentical" mean, anyway? Mary Duenwald scours the latest science for the answers even your doctor may not have. A few blocks from where Highways 6 and 50 intersect in Delta, Utah, you could hear the rain and thunder picking up steam. But for 100 or so women attending a menopause workshop one Sunday, the storm was inside, where the topic of a lecture was about how changing hormones affect sex drive—not the sort of thing people usually talk about in this rural community of alfalfa hay farmers. The speaker was just opening the discussion for questions when the power went out. "It was just so perfect. Suddenly, hands went up everywhere and the women were asking all kinds of questions they wouldn't have been willing to ask when the lights were on. One wanted to know about orgasm—really personal questions," recalls Linda Ekins,
