With each bite you take, think of 3 words describing flavor & texture. When you slow down to focus on eating, you're less likely to overeat.

Opt for Whey protein isolate over concentrate. Many people think protein is protein, but false! Isolate is easier to digest then concentrate
Alter your grip for dumbbell bicep curls. The slight "tweaks" will activate different muscles and help improve overall arm growth.
Keep an eye out for "Proprietary Blends" in many protein powders. Do you know what you r actually consuming?!?! Make sure you do!
Check out the SF Nutrition blog http://sfnutrition.wordpress.com/ ! It is in the beginning stages but is gaining momentum! Thx
Assess your fitness goals and take products that match your lifestyle. Not every product is the rt fit for everyone. Do your research

Have been into Optimum Nutrition's whey products lately, especially their Natural Oats & Whey - http://bit.ly/qs6OT
Consider taking a multivitamin daily. Many americans don't get their daily nutrients. I personally use Country Life- http://bit.ly/f6PKGD
When trying to decide the safest supplements to take, look to see if it has GMP certificaiton http://www.nsf.org/business/gmp/index.asp
When isolating muscle groups such as biceps or back, always try to "squeeze" at the top and get a good PUMP! :)
Try this smoothie recipe: 1 scoop whey protein, 1 cup frozen berries, 1 cup frozen spinach, and water! Great for post workouts or mornings!
Decrease the weight of your workout and do it in half the time. You will get a great sweat going and good cardiovascular workout!
Try circuit training! I prefer them to long isolated muscle group workouts as it stimulates more muscles & gets your heart rate up!
Whey proteins are not all alike. Read this http://www.wheyoflife.org/facts.cfm to gain some insight on the differences. Enjoy!
Opt for water as your beverage of choice! Drinking water boosts metabolism, increases workout performance, and curves your appetite!
Be sure to take Omega-3's. The essential fatty acids are great for decreasing joint inflammation, and are also great for brain health!
