“Geez Bob, you look GREAT. What are you doing?”
“Mila®,” I answer.
“Send me some?”
“You bet!!!”

Poor Melinda, Sherri and Jimbo are overloaded with requests from my friends and fans for the world’s best whole food. After trying MILA and starting to lose weight, I can get calls and emails about specific strategies. There are lots, like Global Director Rachel Garcia’s amazing Mila Smoothie and Executive Director Dr. Mark Luckie’s incredible weight loss program. It’s been an honor to work with these amazingly enthusiastic health care practitioners and I’m incredibly grateful to see the results and hear from grateful clients.

Today I wanted to share with you a strategy I’ve been using this year that I find staggeringly successful on two fronts: weight loss and enhanced fitness training.

Here’s what I do. Each afternoon between four and six PM I do my daily workout. This is the best possible time since all the body’s hormones are perfectly aligned. Body temperature is up so that your muscles produce more energy and are less prone to injury.

As I start my workout, I take a sports drink, like Gatorade® G-2 or PureSport™ but any quality sports drink will work. I’ll put two scoops of MILA in the bottle with the sports drink and shake it. You’ll find that it nearly dissolves right away. I sip it over the course of my workout, shaking it before each sip. Here’s what it does... First of all the sugar from the sports drink helps me get a better workout. During exercise, sucrose, maltodextrin and other performance sugars go to your muscle as fuel. You won’t spike your blood sugar nor will you need to worry about weight gain. This is because your body’s hormones aligned differently during a workout. What does the MILA do? MILA gives me a much better workout. I don’t “bonk” anymore with a sudden drop in blood sugar. I also go faster further. A recent study showed that cyclists were a full minute faster in the closing stage of a long competitive ride than those without MILA. Why does MILA help? The biggest part may be that the Omega-3 fatty acids work as an additional fuel. I use MILA for 100-mile bike events every weekend and have quite simply never rode harder or faster in my whole life. No bonking. Steady energy.

No time for a work out? Work while you’re working out! I get on a treadmill when I’m too busy to bike or travelling. I set it at 15% and take a good stiff hike. No need to run. All the big muscle groups are activated. I also love the Cybex Arc trainer. I put my iPad on the ledge on either machine and read all my Lifemax emails, read the papers, scientific journals, write emails, read important magazines and keep up on Logan, Sherri and Jimbo’s amazing life. But here comes the best part of all. After my workout, my hunger is gone. I have no need to eat nor do I want to. I go to bed comfortably lean and wake up each morning up to a pound lighter, if I want to. I’m also really hungry so I’ll make terrific food choices like steel cut oatmeal, egg white frittatas or omelets, fruits and veggies. As Dr. Mark Luckie points out, I’ll have a terrific lunch with lean chicken or fish and some veggies. That revs up my metabolism and gives me the energy for my afternoon workout. The MILA aid gives me the confidence, energy and endurance to have a terrific and long workout. This gives me the energy for an amazing workout.

A lot of why we eat is that we crave energy. This program gives us all the energy we need and specifically WHEN we need it…for our workday and work out. Skip that evening meal 5 days a week and you’ll become the leanest and fittest ever. You’ll sleep like a baby. If you’re one of those people who workout every day but are still 20-50 pounds overweight, this program will feel like you popped a balloon as you slice off the fat. Try it. It’s amazing. Most diets fail because we just can’t stop eating at night. I find with this later afternoon MILA-Aid drink and workout, I’m just not hungry . The MILA swells in my stomach, killing my hunger. I’ll go to sleep slightly hungry and wake up with a terrific appetite. Try it. The next time someone says…geeeeez, you look GREAT. Wink and say…MILA!
