For many people, junk food is not just an occasional indulgence but a true addiction. Our society does us no favors with its constant promotion of fast food, sweets and energy drinks. To simply say that we need to eliminate sugars and junk from our diets isn't enough- frankly, it's a hard task to take on. But, it's a necessary war to wage if you want to see dramatic changes in your appearance and over all well being. Denis Faye recently wrote a great article for the Beachbody newsletter in which he shared how he conquered his addiction to junk food. He states that it took him over 10 years to finally rid himself of his constant overeating and that it took a concerted effort to do so. The following are some of his tips to a healthier, junk-food-free life. To read the article in its entirety, including his story, head over the the Beachbody newsletter here.
6 Ways to Conquer Junk Food Habits
Obviously these tips may not work for everyone, but they offer any junk food junky a few ways to start on their journey to clean eating.
A few weeks ago Beachbody made a huge announcement...the pre-launch of Team Beachbody Canada. For the first time Canadian customers have the opportunity to become a Beachbody coach and grow their own businesses in their own country. While this new opportunity is exciting, there are a few important things to know if you are thinking of becoming a new coach. Per a FAQ by Beachbody, the company is still in the process of completing registration and regulatory approvals with the Canadian government. This means that until the official launch, which is anticipated to take place in early 2013, Canadian coaches will be operating a U.S. independent business. However, once the official launch occurs a Canadian resident's U.S. business will transfer to a Canadian business.
Despite a few technicalities, Canadian coaches will have all the benefits of being a part of Team Beachbody, including:
This is an exciting new phase for both current Beachbody coaches and Canadian citizens. The amazing products, community, and life change that comes with being a member of Team Beachbody is going to change Canada for the better!! We can't wait!
Yes it's finally the long awaited day of Tropical Strawberry-ness we have all been eager for since we tasted it last year at summit 2011. Well wait no more!
This VEGAN shake, yes you read right. Vegan shake is the most delicious meal replacement shake you will ever have. With flavors such as coconuts, papayas, pineapples, bananas, strawberries, and much more super foods what's not to love about this 100% vegan, soy and dairy free shake.
Many people digest plant proteins better than animal proteins and Tropical Strawberry Shakeology contains vitamins and nutrients your body craves in a more readily assimilable form to keep you strong, healthy, lean, and focused. It will without a doubt help you: LOSE WEIGHT, REDUCE CRAVINGS, STAY REGULAR, FEEL ENERGIZED, EXPERIENCE VITALITY!
What makes this shake so different is that for the first time ever, 100% Vegan is creamy and smooth.
The wizards behind the creation of Shakeology make this a smooth, gritt free vegan taste by blending ultra-fine, bio-fermented, raw sprouted brown rice protein with sacha inchi, quinoa, chia, flax, amaranth, and spirulina. so it will taste good and be even better for you.
Why you might ask? Because when a seed sprouts, it transitions from being dormant, to active, catapulting a metabolic explosion of nutrition. Vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants all skyrocket, creating more amazing stuff for your body. Sprouting also synthesizes healthy enzymes and increases the quality of proteins. And it reduces phytic acid, a substance that interferes with a body's ability to absorb minerals. Bio-fermenting further breaks down the rice rain, releasing enzymes to make it easier for your body to absorb it's vitamins and other nutrients.
The wonders of Sacha Inchi. It's high-quality, easily absorbable, organic vegetable protein is remarkable in so many ways. First, it's naturally rich in good fats and fiber, which helps control your appetite. It also helps promote the body's natural anti-inflammatory response to keep you healthy. And sacha ichi has a very high concentration of omega fatty acids--providing a perfect balance of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9.
Sacha Inchi 
Whole foods are super important. All the key nutrients in this shake come from 100% whole foods. And what's so great about whole foods? Because they're unprocessed and unrefined, whole foods deliver vitamins and nutrients to your body in the most holisitc and easily assimilated way--the way nature intended.
With Superfoods comes great super nutrition. In Shakeology Strawberry Tropical they've added four new superfoods!
Coconut Flower Nectar -- High in potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron; is a natural source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C; AND contains 17 amino acids. It's also rich with inulin, a prebiotic fiber that feeds our intestinal flora and helps boost digestive and immune functions.
Luo Han Guo Fruit -- low glycemic fruit has been used as a powerful and healthy way to lend natural sweetness to foods in Asia for nearly a millennium. It's antioxidant properties help with immune health, and the fruit has also been used in Asia for medicinal purposes, such as respiratory support and to soothe sore throats.
Himalayan Salt -- our bodies need salt, but only the good kind. Because Himalayan salt is minimally processed, it contains more than 70 trace minerals from the Earth that our bodies need. Plus, it may help detoxify the blood and stabilize cells' pH balance.
Konjac Root -- when used as a soluble dietary fiber, this superfood helps promote healthy blood sugar levels, makes you feel quicker, promotes healthy cholesterol levels and helps clean the digestive tract of excess fat and toxins. 
We love Shakeology in every single flavor. I'm a bit of a chocolate nut myself, but I still love the flavor of Shakeology Strawberry Tropical. If you're interested or have any questions please let us know. We are always available and happy to help out.

Darin Olien, the man behind Shakeology was in the widely popular Business Week magazine! Just in case you missed it, here's the link!
In case you missed it CEO Carl Daikeler and P90X man Tony Horton were on "The Doctors" Feb 2nd. They gave away 200 copies of P90X and 200 bags of Shakeology to everyone in the audience! Absolutely incredible! Check it out here!

Probably the number one question that I receive from customers when it comes to losing weight and, more importantly, getting healthier is, “What should I be eating?” Well, as with everything else in life, you need a plan and your plan must be simple. Exercise and eating right doesn’t have to be difficult. It’s as easy as getting a calendar and a spiral notebook. I know you’re probably saying, “What the heck are you talking about, Robert?”
Okay, it's simple, know ahead of time when you're going to workout. Write it on a calendar or if you are more technical, put it in your iPhone, iPad, Whatever! Schedule out the whole month in advance! When you do this and see it actually in writing (or on the screen), you are a lot more likely to work out at those times... I know, it's crazy but it's true!
If you really want results and want them quickly, you have to stop eating what Tony Horton calls "FOOD PORN." Food porn is basically fried foods, refined flours, simple carbs, sodas and dairy (yes... I said dairy). Remove the porn from the house and buy fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. If doing this all at once seems too daunting then try to do it for most of your meals. Some people will only be able to do the 50/50 plan which is eating clean 50% of the time and eating "not so clean for the other 50%. Three meals a day, seven days a week makes for 21 meals. Make 11 of them healthy (you know what that looks like) and keep the rest ugly. The hope over time is that 11 good meals becomes 12 and 10 bad becomes 9, etc. Some can go as far as the 90/10 plan. I lean more towards the 90/10. You have to decide ahead of time which meals are clean and which are PORN.
If you really struggle with your healthy diet then start writing down what you eat. Try this for just 3 weeks. Buy a spiral notebook and start keeping track of every morsel. Grade yourself at the end of each day. Healthy foods get no grades while junk/porn get a negative number. That blue cheese dressing in your healthy salad gets a negative 1. Add bacon bits and you're at a negative 2. On a 1 to 10 scale 8, 9, & 10 are best. Below 5 means you've been cheating all day long.
Your simple plan is to schedule workouts so that you can stay consistent and find a food philosophy that works for you. When you do this, you will be concentrating on what you are doing, you will be following a plan and you will be seeing greater results in no time!
Hey everyone, newly released by Beachbody is a long awaited PRE-WORKOUT drink! Yes, you've got your Results & Recovery drink for after, and now you have Energy and Endurance before hand! It's the perfect combination for maximum sports performance. Speaking from past experiences, I've tried other pre workout drinks but none of them have been as effective as this. Back when I've tried supplements such as 1MR and Jack 3d they would always give me the jitters and make me feel a little weird but Beachbody's E&E does not give me the jitters at all! It does exactly what it's supposed to do and that's give me the energy I need to complete the intense workouts of P90X2. Another huge benefit to this pre-workout drink over others is it actually tastes good!!
But I still haven't told you the greatest part so far! The PRICE!
Energy & Endurance is ONLY $22.46
And you can buy your own by clicking the photo, our buy button or right here!
This is an amazing price compared to other pre-workout drinks! Including the ones I listed earlier. GNC has Jack3d at a regular price of $42.99 and 1.M.R at a regular price of $64.99 so this new drink by Beachbody is a real deal!
Check out Melissa's video review of this amazing pre-workout drink!
We have all seen comparisons out there so we decided to do one of our own. Our official SHAKEOLOGY versus Body by Vi shake. For this test we wanted to not be bias so we used FoodFacts.com.
You can clearly see that Shakeology scored higher and it is in fact one of the highest scoring products on the website.
Let's look at them side by side.
<<<Shakeology Body by Vi>>>
Throughout the various comparisons that I've read the majority of them have had Shakeology on top. The only category that Body By Vi has won is in the taste category because some people say that the Shakeology is "too greenberry-y" or "too chocolaty". I don't think that's a bad thing at all. You purchase those flavors because you like them and even then you can always alter it by adding your fruits or other pleasures. Hands down here at the Hudgens household the winner is clearly Shakeology. A reason the Visalus shake may taste better is because they use artificial sweeteners as well. You pour enough of that into anything and it'll taste good.
So even though both companies are going for the same goal. Ending the trend of obesity. There is always a better, more efficient way of doing anything and that is with Shakeology.
We had a very busy Holiday break here at the Hudgens household. We took a short trip to Cancun before Christmas to escape the cold here in Dallas and we had a blast. After what seemed like a short Holiday break the kiddos are back in school and 2012 as begun. Everyone always makes their new year resolutions to lose weight, or be healthy, or get fit. But you have to actually commit if you want to see the changes take place. Ask yourself, how many times have you told yourself you were going to lose weight as your new year resolution? And whether it's 5 pounds or 50 pounds have you lost that weight yet?
Chances are you've lost a couple pounds but still want to shed some of that excess weight. Well we at Monster Home Fitness have all the answers and solutions for your fitness needs.
First things first. Your nutrition. Like Tony Horton says
So you HAVE to make the right decisions EVERY SINGLE TIME you open your fridge or pantry door. Our best recommendation is with SHAKEOLOGY. If you've never heard of Shakeology it is the very best in meal replacement nutrition. It's 5 trips to the salad bar, all your fruits and veggies for the day its simply incredible. If you've never tried Shakeology and would like to then let us know ASAP. Comment on this post or go back to our home page and click on our free sample button!
Second we have to work on your fitness.
Thus 
and then eventually 
.
I've done P90X 22 times all the way through and I have achieved incredible results! As you may or may not know, P90X2 has just recently in the past month been released. Being good friends with Tony Horton I got a chance to be in the new videos. I'm in the P.A.P Upper P90X2 DVD! I told myself when I started P90X that one day I would be the ripped guy in the video working out with Tony Horton and look at me now. The same exact thing could happen for you! If you commit then anything can happen. If you want to lose 5 pounds of 50 pounds P90X is the right first step for you! I wouldn't recommend P90X2 until you've completed P90X first. It's a whole different ball game. If you have any questions about nutrition, fitness, health and wellness then we offer FREE coaching! All you have to do is take that first step and ask!
