Hey my friend welcome back!
My friend…. how are things going with you today?
Gee Nino I guess I can’t complain… things have been going ok! Nino that being said… you’ll be happy to know that I’m back in the gym training faithfully, at least 4-5 days a week after our discussion last week!
My friend that’s awesome!
My friend that being said… how’s your training been going lately, since you being back full force?
Well Nino I’m glad that you asked that…. ok!
Nino because I was wondering if I could have your thoughts today on another supplement, that I’m thinking about adding into “my” daily diet regime!
My friend absolutely…. consider it our next topic of discussion here this week ok!
Actually my friend it’s been quite awhile here since you came to “me”, wanting to know about another supplement wether or not you should be taking or not!
Yeah Nino I know…. it has been quite awhile here, since we’ve talked about supplements!
Nino that being said…. I figured that I would ask you first about wether or not, I should be taking this new supplement that I’m about to tell you about today, before I went out and spent “my” hard earned money on it ok!
My friend just let “me” say one thing to you here before you tell “me” about this new supplement, that your thinking about adding to your daily diet regime….ok!
My friend I don’t mean to sound like a broken here today, but I just have to say it to you again here… ok!
Ok Nino sure… what is it??
Well my friend just like you’ve matured quite a bit here in regards to your training as of late, the same definitely holds true with you being alot more mature about your knowledge about supplements as well….ok!
Gee Nino…. how do you know that?
Well my friend it’s quite simple here how I know that… ok!
My friend if you recall that last time you came to “me” here about wether or not you should be taking a certain supplement, before you even asked “me” to give you “my” thoughts on it…. you just went to purchase it!
My friend…. would you tend to agree with “me” on that?
Yeah Nino…. absolutely I would totally agree with you on that!
Well my friend I’m happy to say here today like I said…. you’ve definitely matured quite a bit in regards to taking supplements ok! My friend because you decided today to come to “me” first about wether or not, you should be taking a certain supplement before you went out and spent your hard earned money on it…ok!
Gee Nino I guess your right here…. I have matured alot in regards to wether or not, I should be taking a certain supplement!
Nino simply for the reason you just gave “me” here… right?
My friend once again here….. I couldn’t have summed it up any better myself ok!
My friend….. because your absolutely right!
So my friend that being said…. what’s the name of this new supplement that your thinking about taking called?
Ok Nino…. have you ever taken amino acid pills as part of your daily supplementation intake before?
My friend….. did you just say amino acid pills?
Yeah Nino I sure did…. why?
My friend believe it or not out of all the different kind of supplements that are out there on the market today, amino acid pills are at the top of “my” list of favorites to be taking as part of “my” daily supplementation intake… ok!
Gee Nino really…. because I’ve been doing alot research on amino acid pills in the last couple of days here, and I’ve been finding out that the health experts also agree with you on that 100%…ok!
Nino that being said…. I read that amino acid pills are especially good to take for those people out there in our society today, who are really into working out and are wanting to build more quality muscle quickly and safely ok!
Nino would you tend to agree with “me” on that?
My friend absolutely without a doubt…. I totally agree with you on that!
My friend that being said…. I would like to add today one of “my” own reasons, why I’m all for taking amino acid pills as well, as part of ”my” daily supplementation intake ok!
My friend…. would that be ok with you today?
Gee Nino what do you think…..absolutely!
Nino that’s why I wanted to come to you first today and get your own personal thoughts, on taking amino acid pills….. before I went out to buy them ok!
Ok my friend that being said…… are you ready to hear one very good reason today, why I’m all for taking amino acid pills as part of “my” daily supplementation intake as well?
Yeah Nino… absolutely!
Nino because after our discussion on them today…. I would like to go pick up a bottle for myself ok!
My friend I promise that I’ll get right to the point today, because I need to go pick some more amino acid pills as well ….ok!
Awesome Nino…. we can go together if you want ok!
My friend that sounds like a plan!
Well alright my friend…. here we go again!
Well my friend it sure sounds like to “me” that you already familiar with some of the benefits that amino acid pills, can have on your muscles… due to your research that you’ve done on them already!
Yeah Nino like I said… I really did “my” homework on the benefits that amino acid pills can have on your muscles, when there used properly… ok!
Gee my friend you just said something that is VERY important when you start taking, any kind of new supplements for the very first today in your diet regime…ok!
Gee Nino really…. what might that be?
My friend its quite simple.. which is simply this!
My friend almost every bodybuilder out there in our society today knows how important it is, of following the directions when starting to take any kind of new supplements, in their daily diet regime… ok!
My friend by you saying that to “me” that definitely tells “me” without a doubt you’ve come along ways here, about teaching yourself how important it is to read the directions when you start taking, any kind of new supplements today for the very first time …ok!
Gee Nino I guess I have matured alot on supplements, since we’ve been together here!
Nino that’s only because you’ve been doing such a good job here lately, about all these different things I need to know about supplements, if I want to acheive getting ”my” “Dream Body” successfully…ok!
Gee my friend that really meant alot to”me” coming from you…ok!
My friend that being said…. lets get back to talking about these amino acid pills ok!
Yeah Nino I think thats a great idea…. because the supplement store is going to close soon ok!
Gee my friend thanks for reminding here…. so much for “me” getting right to the point today huh!
Gee Nino… it’s ok!
Nino because I know alot of my friends who are taking new supplements today for the very first time, and they definitely DO NOT follow the directions in how they should taken at all…ok!
Well my friend let’s hope that this will open up their eyes today for them to start reading the directions carefully, before they start using any kind of new supplements in their daily diet regime …. right!
Yeah Nino absolutely…. let’s hope so!
Ok my friend now let “me” give you one very good reason why, I’m all for taking amino acid pills as well today!
Ok Nino…. I’m all ears!
Well my friend once again here almost every bodybuilder out there in our society today, knows how crucial, it is to get the proper amount of amino acids into their muscles in order for them to grow ok!
Listen my friend it’s very hard to get the proper amount of amino acids that you need on a daily basis, in order for your muscles to grow just by eating regular foods… ok!
My friend that being said…. this is where taking amino acid pills daily would greatly fill in that gap ok!
Gee Nino I totally agree with you on that because that was another thing that I found out to be true, when I did “my” research on the benefits of taking amino acid pills as part of your daily supplementation intake today….ok!
Well my friend that being said….. that reason alone is why I strongly recommend anyone who is really into working out today, to start using amino acid pills as part of their daily supplementation intake…. ok!
My friend I just want to add one more thing today about the importance of taking amino acid pills in your daily diet regime….ok!
Ok Nino…. go right ahead!
Well my friend the benefits of taking amino acid pills today, especially if you workout are many…. ok!
My friend that being said here one thing I found out for sure to be true without any excuses whatsoever, is that without you putting the proper intake amount of amino acids daily into your muscles, its going to be nearly impossible for them to grow at their maxium potential today..ok!
Gee Nino you must be reading “my” mind here again this week, because that’s another thing here I found out to be true as well, when I did “my” research on the benefits of taking amino acid pills as part of your daily supplementation intake…ok!
Well my friend to sum all this up here today in a nutshell on “my” thoughts on taking amino acid pills…. is simply this!
My friend…. are you listening?
Yeah Nino absolutely…. go ahead!
My friend every bodybuilder out there in our society today, should without any excuses whatsoever have amino acid pills on their supplement list to be taken daily, in order for their muscles to receive the full benefits of maxium muscle growth possible …. ok!
Gee Nino I only have one thing left to say to you today after hearing that…ok!
Gee my friend….what might that be??
Well Nino I think we should get to the supplement store before it closes for the day, and go pick up a bottle of amino acid pills…ok! Nino so our muscles can continue to get the full benefits of growing, to their maxium potential each and every day that we go into the gym and train…ok!
My friend now your talking “my” language like a true “No Excuses” bodybuilder….. let’s go!!
June 23rd, 2008
Howdy my friend… it’s great to see you again! My friend how are things with you this week? Hey Nino as always it’s great to see you again too! Well Nino to answer your question about how I’m doing here this week…. not so good ok!
Gee my friend….what’s wrong?
Well Nino do you remember our discussion we had last week…. on how to stay lean year round by any chance?
My friend absolutely I do…. how’s that been going lately?
My friend have you been able to get a little leaner here, in the last couple of weeks… after our talk about it?
Well Nino to be totally honest with you here today….. it hasn’t been going that well at all ok!
Ok my friend so tell “me”…. what’s the problem?
Well Nino trust “me” I know that it takes time until you start seeing some major changes take place, in your physique as far as seeing it get leaner….ok!
My friend it’s like I told you last week here it’s not easy at all today to get lean, let alone stay lean year round…. ok!
My friend all that I can say to you is keep implementing the three keys, that we discussed last week into your life…. ok! My friend and I promise you that it’s going to pay off for you… ok!
Gee Nino absolutely I will….. you can count on it ok!
Great my friend so that being said…. what do you say that we get to our next topic of discussion this week ok?
Gee Nino that sounds like a great idea! Nino but before we do…. I have some news to tell you first today, if that’s ok with you!
My friend absolutely it’s ok with “me”…. what’s your news?
Ok Nino I certainly hope that your going to like the news…. that I’m about to share with you today ok! Nino because I’ll be totally honest with you I wasn’t sure today, if I really wanted to tell you or not…. ok!
Gee my friend…. why’s that??
Well Nino after being here with you for about two years now, I’ve really begun to know you quite well…. ok!
Nino that being said… that especially holds true when it comes down to you giving “me” your thoughts, on all these new diet crazes that are out there in our society today ok!
Hey my friend…. hang on a minute here ok!
Gee Nino…. what is it?
Well my friend by any chance today….. does your news have to do with another new diet that your trying out?
Gee Nino your really good at guessing things…. because as a matter of fact here it does!
Nino that being said….. I was wondering today if you could give “me” your thoughts on this latest new diet, that I’ve been on for about a week now?
My friend absolutely…. It’ll be “my” pleasure once again to give you “my” thoughts, on another new diet that your trying out ok!
Gee thanks Nino…. I really appreciate it “big time”!
Nino because I figured if anyone knows about all these crazy diets that are out there today in our society, and wether or not their good for you to be on it’s you…ok! Well my friend I guess only time will tell if this latest new diet that your on today, is good or bad for you… right!
Yeah Nino…. your absolutely right!
Ok my friend that being said….. what’s the name of this latest new diet that your on today called?
Ok Nino here it is…. listen up! Nino because I really want your honest opinion today on this diet… ok!
My friend believe “me” when I tell you this….. you can count it ok!
My friend haven’t I been honest with you here on all the diets, that you’ve been on so far since we’ve been together?
Yeah Nino…. absolutely you have without any excuses!
Nino you’ve been straight up with “me” on giving “me” your thoughts, on all the diets that I’ve been on so far….. wether I liked them or not ok!
Well my friend I’m glad that you see it that way…. because you can bet that it’ll continue with this new diet that your on as well today ok!
Awesome Nino…. I wouldn’t want it any other way!
Ok Nino that being said…… have you ever been on a “Crash Diet”?
My friend did I hear you right…. did you just say “Crash Diet”??
Yeah Nino…. absolutely I sure did!
Gee Nino…. does that mean that you’ve never been on a “Crash Diet” before?
My friend it’s just the opposite….. I’m very familiar with being on a “Crash Diet” today ok!
My friend that being said…. out of all the diets that are out there today in our society “Crash Diets”, are at the very bottom of “my” list of favorites to be on today ok!
Gee Nino I take it that your not a big fan of “me”, being on this “Crash Diet” today then?
Nino am I right in assuming that?
My friend you couldn’t be more right about that…. ok!
Gee Nino…. why’s that?
My friend I’m glad that you asked that….. because I’m about to give you “my” thoughts today, on this “Crash Diet” that your on ok!
Gee Nino something tells “me” that your not going to be giving “me” your blessings for “me”, to continue being on this “Crash Diet” any longer after our discussion on it today… right?
My friend I would have to say that’s a pretty good safe assumption for you, to be making today…. ok!
My friend that being said…. I’m going to give you two very good reasons why I feel “Crash Diets”, should have no place in our sociey today ok!
Listen my friend I can’t force you or anyone for that matter today, to no longer be on a “Crash Diet” ok!
My friend all I can do is to give you “my” take on this particuliar diet that seems to be very popular today among teenagers to be on, who are looking for that quick weight loss ok!
My friend that being said…. the final decision is going to be left up to you wether or not you want to continue to be on this “Crash Diet” or not….ok!
Nino I totally understand……ok!
Nino that being said…. you can bet that I’m going to take your thoughts today on “Crash Diets” very seriously…ok! Nino after which I have a strong feeling that I’m going to be thanking you once again here, like all the other diets that I’ve been on in the past…. to no longer continue this “Crash Diet” today ok!
Well my friend I guess there’s only one way to find out today, if that certainly holds true again….ok!
My friend that being said…. what do you say I give you “my” thoughts now on this “Crash Diet” that your on today?
Nino absolutely…. I’m all ears and ready to go!
Oh hang on Nino…. I think I sould get “my” pen and pad out again this week….ok! Nino because I think it’s going to help “me” make that final decision wether or not today, I want to continue to be on this “Crash Diet”….ok!
My friend…. I think that’s a great idea!
My friend let “me” know when your ready to write ok?
Ok Nino once again…. I’m inked and ready to write today!
Awesome my friend…… here we go again!
Well my friend like I stated to you earlier I’m very familiar with “Crash Diets” today…ok!
My friend because believe or not I’ve been on many types of this particuliar diet in the past myself…ok!
Gee Nino are you being serious here or are just saying that to make “me” feel better today, about “me” deciding to go on this “Crash Diet”?
My friend absolutely not…. I couldn’t be more serious in saying that to you today ok!
Ok Nino I believe you!
So Nino that being said…. when did you decide to try “Crash Dieting”?
My friend I had a feeling that you were going to ask “me” that!
My friend that being said…. I can honestly tell you with a straight face today without any hesitation whatsoever here, I decided to try “crash dieting” myself when I entered “my” very first body building show ok!
So Nino… how did you like it??
Nino because I’ll be totally honest with you here today since I’ve been on this “Crash “Diet lately here, I’ve seen a significant drop in “my” body weight not to mention also in “my” energy level as well…ok!
Gee my friend it’s really funny that you should be saying this to “me”… ok!
My friend because that’s exactly what I found out as well that was happening to “me,” when I decided to go on this “Crash Diet”…ok!
My friend believe or not you just came up with the two reasons why I’m not such a big fan on “Crash Diets” today…ok!
My friend for starters your absolutely right when you said to “me” earlier that your weight will start dropping significantly… ok!
My friend that being said…. you forgot to mention also that your putting your body at great risk of losing some some serious muscle mass as well, as a result of you being on this “Crash Diet” ok!
My friend…. did you know that??
Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea until now that I’m losing muscle mass as well, as a result of ”me” being on this “Crash Diet”… ok!
My friend once again here I’m not at all trying to discourage you today to not continue being on this “Crash Diet” that your on any longer…ok!
Gee Nino are you kidding “me”?
Nino I’m glad that your being totally honest with “me” today, about “me” being on this “Crash Diet”…. ok!
Gee thanks my friend….. I really appreciate you saying that to “me”..ok!
My friend that being said….. I just want to touch on one more reason why I feel “Crash Diets”, should have no place being in our society today ok!
Ok Nino sure go ahead…. I’m listening!
Ok my friend I’m going to touch on another thing that you said earlier to “me”, that you saw that was happening to you, as a result of you being on this “Crash Diet”…ok!
Ok Nino…. please let “me” hear it!
Nino because I’ll be totally honest you today…. I’m really starting not to like “me” being on this so called “Crash Diet” any longer ok!
Nino simply after knowing what it’s doing to “my” body not to mention “my” muscles as well…. ok!
Well my friend I really glad to hear you say that… ok!
My friend I truly believe what I’m about to tell you next here today is going to convince you without any excuses whatsoever…. to STOP doing this “Crash Diet” any longer ok!
Great Nino I’m all for that…. let’s hear it!
Well my friend you were also right when you said to “me” earlier that you’ve seen a significant drop in your energy level lately as well, as a result of you being on this “Crash Diet”…. ok!
My friend that being said… I have a question to as you if that’s ok!
Sure Nino… what is it?
My friend since you’ve been on this “Crash Diet”…. how many times a day have you been eating?
Gee Nino I had a feeling you were going to ask “me” that…ok!
Nino that being said… I’ve been eating about twice a day!
Well my friend to be totally honest with you I’m not at all surprised by your answer… ok!
My friend just let “me” say that if you continue only eating twice a day here your metabolism is going to start slowing down, to where your going to start seeing a rapid increase in your bodyfat occur….ok!
Gee Nino… are you kidding “me”!
Nino that’s the last thing I want to start seeing happening to “me”…. tell “me” that joking about “my” bodyfat increasing ok!
My friend I’m sorry but I couldn’t be more serious, about what I’m telling you today…ok!
Well Nino… I only have one thing to say to you then!
Gee my friend…. what might that be?
Gee Nino it’s quite simple! Nino I’m about to put an end to “me” being on this “Crash Diet” today… ok!
My friend…. that’s GREAT to hear!
My friend that being said….what do say we get out of here today, and go feed “The Machine” the right way!
Gee Nino…. what way might that be?
My friend it’s quite simple….. back to eating five small meals a day “No Excuses”!
Gee Nino now your talking like a champion… let’s go!
May 29th, 2008
Hello my good friend it’s great to see you once again here…. as always! Hey Nino and the same holds true for me as well! Gee Nino something tells me that our meeting today is going to be very meaningful for me, so I brought my pen and pad with me just in case! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to me that your anticipating, another one of my valuable lessons in our discussion today! Well Nino I guess only time will tell if that holds true as you would sometimes tell “me” from time to time…. right!
Gee my friend you are definitely without a doubt not only starting to think like “me”, but also starting to talk like “me” as well now!
Gee Nino I know and I know for a fact that’s definitely…… a good thing!
So my friend that being said…. is there something on your mind that you want to talk to me about today? Gee Nino not that I could think of at the moment but if there’s something that pops into my head, that I want to talk to you about today I’ll definitely let you know! Ok my friend I appreciate that…… thanks!
Oh Nino wait a minute how could I’ve forgotton there is something I want to tell you, that I think is going to make your day today! Ok my friend let’s hear it….. then we’ll get to our next topic of discussion today!
Ok Nino it sounds like a plan!
Well Nino do you remember our discussion last week we had on doing “Super Sets”?
My friend as a matter of fact God and I remember quite well because if my memory serves me right that discussion we had, ended up being a very ”special” one at that since we’ve been together! My friend would you tend to agree with me on that assumption? Gee Nino absolutely…. I sure do! Nino because I believe if my memory serves me right our discussion we had on doing “Super Sets”, was actually the very first one since we’ve been together that we both were in agreement on!
My friend your absolutely right…. and I have a strong feeling that its going to continue with our next topic of discussion today as well!
Ok my friend that being said…… what did you want to tell me?
Well Nino I just wanted to let you know that since I’ve been “super” setting all of my exercises in my workouts lately, all my muscles in my entire body have been really worked to the “max” that I’ve never had them burn like this before since I’ve been training! Gee Nino would you consider that due to the fact that my muscles, have been burning so much…. a good thing or a bad thing?
Well my friend before I respond to your question….. can I tell you something? Gee Nino absolutely…. go right ahead! Ok thanks my friend! Well my friend I just want to let you know how proud I am of you, with your training as of late! Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking…. why’s that? Well my friend I think it’s pretty simple why I say this! My friend simply because in our last couple of discussions we’ve had on training lately, you’ve really shown me alot of heart and desire to really bring your training up to the next level!
Gee Nino thanks I appreciate that but that’s only because of one simple reason! Gee my friend and what might that reason be? Gee Nino I believe the reason is quite simple and apparent by now because you’ve really helped me, develop a “No Excuse” attitude since we’ve been together in just about anything that I do in my life now!
My friend God and I are so glad to hear you say because helping you develop a “No Excuse” attitude is what my mission that God has me on is all about! Well Nino I’ll say it again…. your doing a great job! Well my friend it’s like I’ve said don’t thank me….. thank God for bringing Vanessa, Mark and Tom into my life for making Nino’s Mission possible!
Ok my friend that being said once again…. let’s get back to your question that you asked me earlier shall we!
Ok Nino and I have a strong feeling that your going to tell me that it’s definitely a good thing, that my muscles are burning so much when I’m “super” setting!
Gee my friend its like I told you earlier you are no doubt starting to think along the same lines as myself lately, because your absolutely right on with that assumption! My friend I know all to well how it feels when your “super” setting exercises and your muscles are burning beyond beleif, just ask my legs they’ll tell you simply this and I quote! “Gee Nino how do you expect us to support you on your crutches all day…. if we can barely stand”!
Well my friend let me just tell you that I love that feeling and you should as well because you know that your muscles, are being worked and more blood is being pumped into them so they can grow! So my friend I know in order for our muscles to get the full benefit of a “super” setting workout or any workout for that matter, we need to go home and feed them with the proper amount of protein, simple carbs, and fats right away!
My friend wouldn’t you agree with “me” on that assumption?
Gee Nino I have a strong feeling that your not going to pleased with my answer! So Nino that being said to be totally honest with you, I haven’t been eating anything whatsoever after any of my workouts since I’ve started training! My friend if you don’t mind asking you can you give me one good reason, why you haven’t been eating anything after your workouts? Well Nino to be totally honest with you I’m just not hungry at the time! Nino I usually wait a couple of hours after my workout, before I go ahead and eat something!
Well my friend you’ve done it once again!
Gee Nino let me take a wild guess again…. Hmm I believe I’ve just come up with are next topic of discussion this week! Gee my friend once again you couldn’t be more right with that assumption! Gee Nino let me go off on a limb and also say to you that I have feeling that I’m going to be receiving another one of your valuable lessons…… this time around on why it’s so important for “me” to be eating right after my workouts!
Gee my friend your two for two today because your absolutely right again! Well Nino I guess that it would be safe for me to say then, that both my pen and pad are going to be back to good use this week….. unlike our discussion last week when I didn’t need them! Yeah my friend your right but that’s ok! My friend because it’s like I’ve told you these are the types of weeks that I love when I have to put on, “my” teachers cap to teach you something important!
So my friend that being said…. are you ready to go back to school today and learn why it’s so important for you to be eating right after your workouts?
Gee Nino I sure am….. let’s go to school!
Ok my friend….. here we go again!
Ok my friend listen up because I’m going to get right to the point today, why you need to be putting the necessary nutrients into your muscles soon after you finish working them! Ok Nino my pen and pad are ready for action…. let’s hear it!
Ok my friend…….. great!
Well my friend first of all…. did you know that there is a general rule of thumb that we all need to follow right after our workouts today, in order for our muscles to receive the full benefits from each and every workout that we do! Gee Nino to be totally honest with you I was unaware of there being a rule, that I need to be following after my workouts!
Gee Nino what might that rule be?
Well my friend I’m glad you asked because I’m about to tell you that important rule that your going to start implementing, after each one of your workouts from now on without any excuses!
My friend are you listening?
Yeah Nino absolutely……. go ahead!
Ok my friend here’s the rule that pretty much all bodybuilders today live by, after there done tearing up their muscles! My friend they simply go home and within 45 minutes following their workout they go and feed their muscles, the necessary nutrients they need in order for them to grow and repair themselves! Gee Nino I had no idea until now that I needed to be doing this…. so soon after my workouts! Well my friend now you do! Listen my friend I’m only trying to help you get the full benefit of each and every one of your workouts, because I can’t stress to you the importance of eating within that 45 minute spand!
Gee Nino I’m almost afraid to ask you this but this is the only way that I’m going to learn today, on why it’s so imporant for me to be eating within 45 minutes after my workouts! Gee my friend how many times do we have to go through this you shouldn’t be afraid to ask me anything….. what would you like to know?
Well Nino as you know as I stated earlier to you I definitely haven’t been following the 45 minute rule, in where I need to be feeding my muscles following my workout! Yeah my friend I know and let me just say one thing to you about that ….. are you listening?? Yeah Nino and I have a strong feeling that your about to tell me that I won’t be waiting two hours after my workouts anymore, until I decide to go ahead and feed my muscles…. right!
Gee my friend you took the words right out of my mouth…… because your absolutely right! My friend and here is one good reason why that’s the case…… get ready to write this down!
Ok Nino once again… let’s hear it!
Well my friend it’s pretty simple in what that reason is! My friend which is simply almost all bodybuilders know today that right after an intense workout, it is crucial for them to get the highest quality of glucose, amino acids and creatine into their bodies it they want their muscles to keep on growing! Gee Nino I know for a fact that I haven’t been doing any of that! Yeah my friend I know that but I have news for you today, your definitely going to start doing that now without any excuses whatsoever….. right!!
Gee Nino absolutely….. you can count on it!
So Nino that being said…… what do you recommend I start eating right after my workouts then? Nino so I can definitely make sure that my body gets all these necessary nutrients that your talking about here, in order for my muscles to keep on growing! Gee Nino because as you know I’ve been training so hard lately, the last thing that I want to see happen is for my muscles to stop the growing process!
My friend I had a strong feeling that you were going to ask me that because I definitely, don’t want your muscles to stop the growing process either! So my friend that being said…. get ready to write down this very imporant piece of info so we can definitely make sure that it doesn’t happen!
Ok Nino once again… I’m all ears!
Ok my friend and I only know this because when I used to train with Vanessa she would always remind me after working out, to go home and feed my muscles these three specific things! My friend which is simply one scoop of whey protein followed by three plain rice cakes, with natural peanut butter and natural jelly! My friend I promise you that if you start today and go ahead and feed your muscles these three imporant key nutrients everyday following your workouts, there is absolutely NO WAY that your muscles can stop the growing and repair process that we all want to see happen!
Gee Nino I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you opening up my eyes today on how important it is for me, to get the right nutrients into my body quickly following my intense workouts! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to me that I’ve convinced you to stop waiting two hours, after your workouts anymore before you go ahead and feed your burning muscles!
Gee Nino you couldn’t be more right with that assumption! So Nino that being said…. guess what I’m gong to go home and do now? Gee My friend I have no idea….. what might that be? Gee Nino Com mon I know you know the answer! Gee my friend to be totally honest with you I must have forgotton….. can you refresh my memory! Gee Nino ok since you put it that way……. sure I”ll help refresh your memory!
Well Nino it’s quite simple in what I’m going to go home and do now! Gee Nino since its already been a couple of hours since I worked out I need to go home, and feed my burning muscles now because I’m way past that 45 minute window! Oh that’s right my friend thanks for reminding me, I need to go home and eat as well because its now been 30 minutes since I worked out!
Hey Nino I have an idea?
Gee my friend and what might that be?
Gee Nino why don’t I treat you to a protein shake and some rice cakes with some natural peanut butter and jelly on them! Gee my friend now your talking my language because my muscles are sure screaming for some muscle growth and repair…… let’s go feed “The Machine”!
January 7th, 2008
Hello my good friend it’s always a pleasure…. to see you back! Gee Nino and I have to say the same goes for me as well! Gee thanks my friend that really means alot to me coming from you! Gee Nino I’m the one that should be thanking you today! Gee my friend if you don’t mind me asking you…. why’s that? Well Nino do you remember our discussion that we had last week… on sodium? My friend as a matter of fact I sure do…. I remember it quite well!
Actually my friend I’m glad that you brought up our discussion we had last week on sodium, because I wanted to ask you something about that if you don’t mind! Gee Nino absolutely not…. go right ahead! Actually Nino before you ask me your question would you mind if I try to guess… on what it might be? My friend absolutely not go right ahead as a matter of fact, I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Gee Nino thanks…. I really appreciate it! Ok Nino I believe you want to know if I’ve been able to lower, my daily sodium intake since our discussion on it? Gee my friend I really have to take this time and say to you, how amazed I’ve been with you lately! Gee Nino why’s that? Nino did I guess the wrong question that you wanted to ask me? Well my friend I’m about to answer both of your questions…. are you listening?
Gee Nino I sure am because I really want to know, why your so amazed with me lately! Well my friend the reason why I’m so amazed with you lately is because your really starting to think, more and more along the same lines as “me”! My friend now I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing! Gee Nino does that mean that I came up with the right question…. that you wanted to ask me? My friend you couldn’t be more correct with that assumption!
Well my friend so that being said…. how’s your sodium intake been since our discussion on it last week?
Well Nino I’m proud to say to you I’ve seen two things happen, as soon as I started to lower my daily sodium intake! Gee my friend that’s great to hear! My friend if you don’t mind me asking you…. what two things have you seen happen? Well Nino for starters I had my blood pressure taken a couple days ago, and it’s gone down quite a bit from before! Gee my friend that’s awesome news! Gee Nino hang on a minute I still have one more thing…. to tell you! My friend do you see what I mean when I said your starting to think, more like “me”… because that’s usually my line to you!
Ok my friend I’m sorry for interrupting you I just wanted you to see for yourself…. that I wasn’t kidding one bit! Gee Nino I guess I am and personally I think it’s a good thing, to answer your question that you stated earlier to me! Gee my friend again I really appreciate you saying that, because it really means alot to me coming from you! Ok Nino let me just tell you this last thing that happened, and then we’ll get going on our next discussion today!
My friend that sounds like a plan!
Well Nino I’ve also seen since I started lowering my daily sodium intake, I’m not retaining nearly as much water as before either! Gee Nino let me also add I feel alot less bloated as well! Gee my friend when you tell me things like this it really reassures “me” and God, that I’m doing my job here each and every week! Gee Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you I think your doing a great job, because I’ve learned so much from you since we’ve been together in many area’s in my life so far!
Well my friend thanks for letting me know that I’m doing my job! My friend what do you say we get back to doing my job and get going…. on our next discussion today?
Gee Nino that sounds like a brilliant idea…. let’s go!
Hey Nino could I ask you a favor?
My friend! How many times do I have to tell you that you never have to ask me for a favor, this is why I’m here to help you with anything that you might need some guidance on in your life!
Gee Nino I know that it’s just that sometimes I forget!
Well my friend could I ask you for a favor now?
Gee Nino absolutely what is it?
My friend all I ask of you is not to ever forget that I’m here to help you, with any questions that you might have!
Ok Nino it’s a deal!
Great my friend now that we cleared that up once again…… what can I help you with today?
Well Nino actually this doesn’t concern me…… but a good friend of mine that I’m concerned about! Ok my friend what seems to be the problem? Well Nino he has been working out with me for about two months now, and I’ve been trying to get him to eat protein but he refuses to! Gee Nino all he eats in his diet are alot of carbs and he has absolutely, no desire to have any protein whatsoever!
Gee my friend! That is not a good thing for your friend to be doing, especially if he’s weight training! Gee Nino I know that! Nino I’ve tried over and over again to tell him how important it is for him to have the right amount of protein, in his diet but he refuses to listen to me! Gee Nino I was wondering today if you can try to convince my friend, to start eating his protein!
My friend absolutely consider it done….. it would be my pleasure!
Gee Nino thanks! Nino I figured if anybody could convince him to start eating his protein today…. it’s definitely you!
My friend! I can assure you that after our discussion today on why it’s so important for you to be eating your protein especially if your weight training, I have a strong feeling that your going to start eating those egg whites without any excuses! Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling again this week that I’m going to be receiving, another one of your valuable lessons that your so famous in giving me!
Gee my friend it’s like I told you earlier your really starting to think more like “me”… because your absolutely right with that assumption! My friend I also think this might be a good time to get your pen and pad ready again, so you can see for yourself why it’s so important for you to start eating your protein today!
Gee Nino I knew you were going to say that again so I took it upon myself, to bring a brand new pen and notepad with me today!
Great my friend!
My friend! Are you ready for me to tell you why it’s so important for you today…. to start scrabbling those egg whites?
Gee Nino I suppose but I be totally honest with you I think you have your work cut out for you today…. because I don’t like the taste of egg whites whatsoever! Gee my friend how can you say that if you’ve never had protein before! Gee Nino I guess you can say that I just know!
Well my friend all I can say in response to that is simply this! My friend I strongly believe after I give you this one important major reason today, in why you should be eating your protein your taste buds are going to be screaming for some egg whites!
Ok my friend that being said….. here we go again!
Well my friend let me start off today by saying congratulations to my good friend Mark Cambria, who placed third in his division at his bodybuilding show a couple of weeks ago! Gee Nino that’s awesome! Nino I’m hoping very soon that I can get myself in prime condition, to enter a bodybuilding show one as well! Well my friend I’m not trying to put a damper on your hopes of you competing in a bodybuilding show soon, but I think your going to find it rather tough for you to prepare for and be successful!
Gee Nino why’s that? Nino I’ve been training really hard in the gym lately! My friend I don’t doubt one bit that you’ve been training hard, but there’s one thing that you haven’t been doing that Mark had when “he” was training for the show!
Gee Nino what might that be?
Well my friend it’s really a no-brainer…. which is simply this! My friend the reason why Mark did so well at his bodybuilding show, is mainly because “he” ate his egg whites non-stop while “he” was training so hard for the show! Gee Nino wait one minute here! Nino are you trying to tell me that there is absolutely no way for me to be able to successfully compete, in a bodybuilding show if I don’t start eating my egg whites!
My friend! That’s exactly what I’m telling you and anyone else for that matter, who is looking to compete in a bodybuilding show! Listen my friend I’m only trying to help you here today understand, why it’s so essential for you to start eating your protein! Ok my friend I can see by the expression on your face, that you need a little more convincing by me why you should start eating your egg whites today! Well my friend maybe this reason I’m about to give you will without a doubt, convince you to start intaking that protein like clock work in your diet!
My friend I think this might be a good time for you to start writing, because I have a strong feeling, that your going to want those egg whites “big time” today after what I’m about to share with you!
Ok Nino go right ahead….. I’m all ears ready to write!
Awesome my friend!
Well my friend I couldn’t help but be a little concerned in what you told me earlier! Gee Nino what what might that be? Well my friend when you told me that you’ve been training pretty hard in the gym lately! Yeah Nino you couldn’t be more right and I just know that’s making you very happy….. right! Well my friend I hate to tell you this but it’s really not making me happy or your muscles for that matter either!
Gee Nino I don’t mean to sound like a tape recorder today….. but why’s that?
My friend I really think it’s pretty simple why your muscles and myself aren’t happy with you training so hard lately! My friend which is simply this….. are you listening? Yeah Nino go ahead! My friend I don’t mean to discourage you but all that hard training you’ve been doing lately, is really not doing you or your muslces a bit of good!
Gee Nino might I ask you why?
My friend it would be my pleasure! Well my friend if you think that you’ve been gaining alot of muscle lately with you training so hard……you couldn’t be more wrong! My friend there is absolutely no way for you or anyone to build muscle while training, WITHOUT intaking the proper amount of protein that is needed for your muscles to grow! Actually my friend I’ll tell you exactly what you’ve been doing…. a great job in acheiving lately!
Gee Nino that would be great because I’m really not starting to like, what I’ve been doing to my body lately by not eating my protein! Well my friend you’ve been doing a great job lately in breaking down your muscle tissues to the point, where your losing alot of that hard earned muscle that you trying so hard to gain! Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea whatsoever that I could be doing so much damage to my muscles, by ”me” not eating my protein! Gee my friend I certainly hope that I didn’t discourage today from you contining to train hard!
Gee Nino are you kidding me! Nino I’m so glad that you told me in the way that you did because you really opened up my eyes today, to make me realize how important it is for me to be eating my protein wether I want to or not! Gee my friend dose that mean that I’ve convinced you today… to start scrabbling those egg whites in your diet?
Gee Nino I know that I’ve said this time and time again to you, but I feel it’s necessary today to say it again to you! Gee my friend and what might that be? Gee Nino it’s really a no-brainer to anybody now…… which is simply this! Nino you know how to put things in the the right context without being pushy, for anyone to stop the road that they’ve been going on and start taking the one that your on…. the “No Excuse” road!
Well my friend that sure sounds like to me that I’ve convinced you today without any excuses whatsoever…. to get on that protein track! Gee Nino you couldn’t be more on the right track…. with that assumption! Gee Nino as a matter of fact…. guess where I’m going? Gee my friend where’s that? Well Nino I’m going home for lunch now and I’m going to scrabble myself some egg whites! Hey Nino would you like to join me? My friend now your talking my language…… let’s go have some protein!!
November 9th, 2007
Hello my friend welcome back! Hey Nino it’s great to see you back as well! My friend! How have things been going with you…. since our last meeting? Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest with you I’m still trying to recover, emotionally from our discussion last week! Gee my friend why’s that? Gee Nino I have you forgotton what we talked about last week that was so amazing, that I went home and told all my friends about it as well!
Gee my friend I completely forgot what we talked about last week! Oh No Nino not again… you don’t! Nino your not going to pull that game with me with you pretending to forget, in what we talked about this week! Gee my friend! I’m impressed I can’t fool you like I used to do when we first started, your definitely beginning to know when I’m pulling your leg now!
Well my friend that being said of course I remember… what we talked about last week! My friend as a matter of fact right after our discussion we had in how “Nino’s Mission”, came to life! My friend I can’t begin to tell you how many people e-mailed me…. totally amazed by the story! My friend I actually had some people literally ask me if I was pulling their leg when I stated, that I had absolutely nothing to do with the birth of “Nino’s Mission”!
Gee Nino! What was your response when they said that to you?
Well my friend! I simply told them if they didn’t believe me they were more than free to contact, either Vanessa, Mark, or Tom and they would gladly tell them the exact same thing! Gee Nino I’ll be honest with you when I told my friends the story in how your mission, came to life they didn’t believe either! Well my friend that really dosen’t surprise me one bit, because it’s like I said to you last week! My friend it’s not very common in our society today that you hear, people doing something as amazing as this to help a person today!
Ok my friend! I really think you should get moving to our next topic of discussion today….what do you say?
Gee Nino I totally agree with you! Nino as a matter of fact I brought us a healthly snack today that we can both snack on, if you want while we discuss our next topic! Gee Nino before you ask me what I brought today, let me just say that it’s nothing sugar-free or fat-free! Nino I definitely learned a valuable lesson from you, in both those area’s in my diet! Well my friend! I’m really glad to hear you say that because it’s like I’ve been telling you… since the beginning of my mission! My friend which is simply I’m here to help educate, motivate, and inspire you in certain area’s of your life… that you might need some guidance on!
Ok my friend that being said one more time….. what kind of a healthy snack did you bring today?
Well Nino I’ll tell you right now out of all the snacks that I’ve brought in the past I just have a strong feeling, that your going to want to dig your teeth into some of these! Gee my friend you actually have my mouth watering for some….. what are they?? Ok Nino I won’t keep you in suspense any longer today! Nino I brought us a huge jar of salted peanuts today to snack on, while we discuss our next topic!
Gee my friend that was awfully thoughtful of you to think of me but I’m going to have to pass, on eating these salted peanuts with you today! Gee Nino I would have thought that you of all people who loves to eat “All Natural Peanut Butter” in thier diet, you would be all over these salted peanuts today! My friend your absolutely right I love my ”All Natural Peanut Butter”! Ok Nino so what’s the problem with you eating some salted peanuts with me today!
Ok my friend! Do you really want to know?
Yeah Nino I sure do!
Well my friend as a matter of fact I have no problem with snacking on peanuts at all, actually that’s all I love to snack on! Gee Nino hang on I’m a little confused here but if your telling me that you love to snack on peanuts, then why won’t you have some of these salted peanuts! Ok my friend I guess I have to let the cat… out of the bag! Gee Nino I think that’s a great idea, because your totally losing me here!
Well my friend I certainly don’t want to lose you today…. for this major reason! Well my friend believe or not these salted peanuts that you brought to snack on, are going to be the focus of our next discussion today! Gee Nino hang on here are you telling me that we’re going to be talking about… salted peanuts today? Well my friend we’re not necessarily going to be talking about the peanuts today! My friend however we’re definitely going to be discussing all that sodium, that are in that huge jar of peanuts!
My friend let me just say before I go any further today! My friend you just keep amazing me how you can help me come up with, our next topic of discussion without you even knowing half the time! Gee Nino it’s like you’ve been telling me God matched us up for that specific reason, so I could help you come up with these imporant topics of discussion that people might need help in today! My friend I’m so glad that your finally realizing how important you are to my mission! My friend it’s like I’ve been saying to you we’re in this mission together, until it is successfully completed for God!
Ok my friend that being said again! What do you say that we go ahead and jump right in to our next discussion today?
Gee Nino that sounds good to me! Nino I had a strong feeling today that I might be needing my pen and pad again… so I brought it with me! My friend that was really good thinking on your part, because your definitely going to be writing alot of info on sodium today!
Gee Nino aren’t you kind of glad today that I brought this huge jar, of salted peanuts with me today?
My friend absolutely! Well my friend not that I’m going to be snacking on any of these salted peanuts with you today, but I’m definitely going to be giving you my thoughts on all that sodium that your intaking! Gee Nino I think I better fill you in on something before we start, our discussion on sodium today!
Ok my friend go right ahead!
Ok Nino! I have a feeling that your not going to like what I’m about to tell you, but you always tell me that I shouldn’t be afraid to tell you anything! Gee my friend once again I’m glad to hear you say that, because your absolutely right! My friend just remember I’m strictly here to help educate you in certain area’s, that you might need some guidance on in your life today!
Gee Nino I know that by now!
Great my friend! So what do you want to tell me? Well Nino I’ve been having alot of jars of these salted peanuts latley! Ok my friend! How many jars have you been having? Well Nino I’ve been having 2-3 jars a week! Gee my friend that is a ton of sodium that your intaking daily in your diet and that doesn’t even include, the sodium in all of the other foods that your eating throughout your day either!
Gee Nino I know I guess me having all this sodium in my diet lately, is not such a good thing…. huh! My friend don’t worry this is why we’re having a discussion on sodium today, after which I’m hoping that you will start reducing your daily sodium intake “big time”!
Great Nino I’m ready to go!
Great my friend! Get ready to write down some valuable info on sodium and the unhealthy effects it can have on your body, if you intake to much like you’ve been doing lately!
Ok Nino my pen is full of ink and ready to write!
Ok my friend….. here we go again!
Well my friend! Let me start off today by going back on what I said to you earlier, when I stated that I love to snack on either ”All Natural Peanut Butter or peanuts! Yeah Nino I remember and you actually never answered my question, on why you don’t like to snack on salted peanuts! Gee Nino so what’s the difference between your peanuts and mine? Well my friend I’m glad you asked that because there is one huge major difference, that you’ll find between “my” peanuts and yours!
Would you like to know what that huge difference might be?
Yeah Nino I sure would…. because I’m really confused here!
Ok my friend I’m about to make things a little clearer for you… in what the huge difference is! Well my friend my peanuts and peanut butter are “unsalted” and yours are full of salt! Gee Nino I should have known that salt was the huge difference! My friend that’s ok this is why we’re taking the time today, to discuss all that sodium that your intaking lately in your diet!
Ok my friend! I think this might be a good time for you to start writing down some important info on sodium, because I’m about to tell you what all that sodium is doing to your body! My friend I sincerely hope after I do your going to think twice about continuing to snack, on these salted peanuts that you brought today!
Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that me eating these salted peanuts are going to be short lived for me, just like every other snack that I have brought in the past! Well my friend only time will tell!
Ok my friend let’s see if I can convince you once again….. this time around in greatly reducing your daily sodium intake!
Gee Nino your on…. let’s see if you still have it!
Gee my friend! That sure sounds like a challenge to me and you know by now, how I love to be challenged in my life!
Ok my friend! Let’s see if I still have the magic touch to convince you…… shall we!
Ok Nino go for it…. I’m writing and listening!
Ok my friend great!
Well my friend for starters like I said earlier which is by you intaking all that sodium lately, it’s really having an unhealthly effect on your body! My friend did you know that? Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea that all this sodium, could be effecting my body in such an unhealthy way! Well my friend I’m about to shed some light on what what all that sodium, is doing to your body right now as I speak!
Ok my friend! I think you might want to write down these two unhealthy effects I’m about to give you! My friend I have a strong feeling once I do it’s going to be more than enough to convince you today, to start lowering your daily sodium intake! Ok Nino I’m all ears go ahead! Ok my friend first off did you know that all that sodium that your intaking lately, is allowing your body to retain alot of water? Gee Nino it’s funny that you should say that because ever since we had the discussion, on the importance of drinking water I’ve been drinking a ton just like you told me! Gee my friend I’m glad to hear that! Yeah Nino but I’ve also been retaining alot of water, ever since I started intaking all this sodium in my diet!
Gee Nino do you think the reason why I’m retaining so much water lately, is due to all that sodium that I’m having? Well my friend I would have to say that’s a pretty good safe assumption by you! Furthermore my friend by you contining to retain all this water it’s going to be very difficult for your body, to flush out all that fat you’ve been intaking lately by eating all these salted peanuts! Gee Nino I’ll be honest with you I’m actually not starting to like snacking on these salted peanuts anymore! Nino the last thing I want to start happening to me, is to start gaining unecessary bodyfat!
Gee Nino I think I really need to start lowering my sodium intake so I can begin flushing out, all this fat I’ve been having lately….. before that happens! My friend I’m glad to hear you say that but hang on a minute! My friend I still have one more thing to share with you, on what all that sodium is doing to your body lately! Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest with you I think you’ve already convinced me of the fact, to stop having all this sodium in my diet today!
Well my friend I’m really glad to hear that from you but I just want to make sure, that you understand that too much sodium in your diet today is NOT a good thing! Ok Nino go ahead I’m listening! Gee thanks my friend! I promise this last reason I’m about to give you is going to make you want to go home today and rid your pantry, of all those jars of salted peanuts and replace them with my favorite the “unsalted” version!
Ok my friend! Are you ready to hear the most important reason, why you should start lowering your daily sodium intake?
Nino absolutey….. I’m all ears!
Great my friend!
Well my friend did you know all that sodium can cause your blood pressure to sky rocket? Gee Nino that’s funny that you should mention that because I went for a check up a couple days ago, and had my blood pressure taken and my doctor told me that it had significantly increased since my last visit! Gee Nino do you think the major reason why my blood pressure has increased so much, is primarily due to all the sodium that I’ve been intaking lately? My friend I would have to once again agree with you, and say that’s a pretty good safe assumption!
Gee Nino I know that I might sound like a broken record to you once again….. but I have to say it again! Gee my friend and what might that be again? Gee Nino you should know it by heart by now which is simply this! “Nino you definitely haven’t lost your magic touch when it comes to trying to convince anyone from not continuing to follow the road that they’ve been on”! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to me once again that I was able to convince you today, beyond a shadow of a doubt to stop intaking all that sodium!
Gee Nino now I would have to say to you that’s a pretty good safe assumption you just made… because your absoulutley right!! Nino as a matter of fact I’m going to take your advice that you gave me earlier! Gee my friend and what might that be? Gee Nino how could you forget your own advice to “me”? My friend I apologize but we’ve covered so much today, that my brain is on overload! Gee Nino don’t worry about it… I’ll refresh your memory! Gee my friend I would really appreciate that….. thanks!
Well Nino your advice to me was to go home and rid my pantry of all those jars of salted peanuts, and replace them with your favorite….. the unsalted version! Oh my friend that’s right how could I have forgotton… my own advice! Gee my friend that being said… would you like me to help you to that? Gee Nino that would be great! Nino before we go and do that let me treat you to a fresh jar of….unsalted peanuts! Gee thanks my friend now your speaking my language….. let’s go!!
October 26th, 2007
Hello my dear friend it’s a pleasure to see you again! Gee Nino it’s great to see you again as well! Gee Nino I actually couldn’t wait to get here today! Gee my friend really! My friend what’s got you so excited today? My friend I have to say that I’ve never seen you so excited like this before, in all the times that we’ve been together so far!
Gee Nino I’m not going to apolgize because I know you always tell me, that it’s not necessary! Gee my friend now I’m getting excited because you finally realizing more and more that there is absolutely no need, to ever apolgize to me for anything whatsoever especially for you being excited about something today! Ok my friend can you now please tell me, why your so excited today before I burst!
Ok Nino! Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you week after week now I’ve learned so much from you in regards to my training, diet, and most important how to deal with my life’s everyday situations whatever they may be in a more positive way! My friend I’m so happy to hear you say that! My friend I’ll be totally honest with you I was actually beginning to think that I was starting to bore you, and you were starting to get sick of hearing me!
Gee Nino bore me are you kidding! Nino it’s like I said you’ve taught me so much in alot of area’s in my life so far especially in my diet! Ok Nino before you say another word let me tell you why I’m so excited today! Oh absolutely my friend you have my undivided attention now go ahead! Ok Nino thanks! Well Nino it’s like I said you’ve taught me so much about my nutrition so far, that I just started a new diet!
Gee Nino before you say anything this diet is not like the fat-free diet, I tried a while back! Nino after our discussion we had on fat-free diets a while back, you definitely convinced me that their is no such thing today in foods being fat-free! Well my friend I’m glad I was able to help you understand the meaning of fat-free, basically you right there is no such thing today and there never will be!
Ok my friend you have me curious so what’s this new diet that your on…. that your so excited about??
Gee Nino I’m almost afraid to tell you only because I knew how you felt when I was, on the fat-free diet I just don’t want this diet to be short lived for me as well! Nino I was actually hoping that I could convince you today, to try this new diet with me as well!
Well my friend as you probably know by now I’m not a big fan, on most of these new diets that are out there today in our society! Yeah Nino I know that but I really think your going to want to make, an exception with this particular diet!
Ok my friend you really have me curious now! My friend what’s the name of this new diet?? Ok Nino it’s called “The Sugar-Free Diet”! Nino have you heard of this diet? My friend as a matter of fact I have, actually a few of my clients that I train have tried it! Nino before you say anything about it I brought some sugar-free goodies today, for you to check out and tell me what you think about them! Ok my friend I promise you that I won’t say a word about the diet. until I look at the sugar-free goodies you brought for me to look at!
Gee thanks Nino! Nino I just know that your going to like all of the goodies, because there all 100% sugar-free and healthy for you! Ok my friend so what’s in the bag? Ok Nino first I have sugar-free flavored oatmeal, next I have sugar-free strawberry yogurt, and last but not least a sugar-free candy bar! Gee my friend I’ll be totally honest with you I love my oatmeal, but I never heard of there being sugar-free flavored oatmeal before until now!
Yeah Nino isn’t great! Gee Nino now you can add some flavor to your plain oatmeal and the best part of it all, you don’t have to worry about the sugar because it’s absolutely sugar-free! Ok Nino now you can tell me what you think about this sugar-free diet that I’m so excited, to be on and I’m hoping that you’ll want to do it with me as well! Well my friend before I give you an answer to your question, I believe you’ve done it once again!
Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that once again I just came up, with our next topic of discussion today! Well my friend you couldn’t be more right with that feeling! My friend let me first say before I go any further, I’m just amazed how you continue to help me come up with our topics of discussion without you even knowing half the time! My friend it’s like I’ve been telling you since the beginning! My friend! God certainly knew what he was doing when he brought us together! My friend you’ve contributed so much in regards in helping me come up with all these important topics, of discussion each and every week so far that many people in our society need help in today!
Ok my friend that being said again, let’s get back to the business at hand! Well my friend I guess it’s no surprise on what our next topic of discussion is about! Gee Nino let me take a wild guess! Ok my friend go for it! Well Nino just like a couple weeks back when you gave me your thoughts on the fat-free diet that I was on, now it’s time for you to do the same with this sugar-free diet that I’m on as well! Gee my friend you deserve another gold star because your absolutely right!
Gee Nino since I’m on a roll here today let me take another wild guess, and say that I’m about to receive another lesson on diets! Gee my friend your going to be taking all of my gold stars today, I think we better to our discussion before I run out of stars to give you!
Ok Nino I’m ready for you to give me your thoughts now, on this sugar-free diet that I’m on! Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that this diet is going to be, short lived for me as well!
Well my friend only time will tell, if that holds true for you once again!
My friend! Are you ready for me to give you a sugar rush?
Yeah Nino why not!
Great my friend because I’m about to put some…. sugar back in your diet!
Here we go again!
My friend let me first start off today by saying to you that I’m not at all, trying to discourage you from continuing to be on this sugar-free diet! My friend all I’m doing is simply giving you my thoughts on the diet! Gee Nino I know that and let me just say that I’ve taken every advice that you’ve given me, in regards to my diet so far and used it because I’ve seen tremendous results with my physique so far!! Nino furthermore whatever advice you give me today on this sugar-free diet that I’m on, you can be assured that I’m definitely going to take it!
My friend thanks for sharing that with me! Well actually my friend I’ve learned alot about dieting myself through a very close personal friend of mine Mark Cambria, he was the one who helped me with my pre-contest diet! My friend Mark took the time to literally sit down with me and he wrote down how each day of my diet was going to look to a tee and let me add he did it freely!
My friend in all the bodybuilding contests that I’ve done in the past I never had anybody, help me in the way that Mark did I owe him greatly! Gee Nino I wish I could say the same for “me”! My friend if it wasn’t for Mark’s expertise in pre-contest diets there was no way I would have been able, to look as good as I did at my last bodybuilding show I did back in June of 2006! My friend actually Mark was responsible for alot more, than just helping me with my diet! My friend furthermore Mark along with his wife Vanessa who you read about in my story, who trained me for the show are both a huge reason why I’m able to talk to you week after week here!
Gee Nino are Mark and Vanessa the “special” people that you’ve been talking about to me, from time to time? Yeah my friend they certainly are and your going to know alot more about in how they both helped me tremendously, in making my dream to help people around the globe a reality! My friend also along with another ”special” friend of mine Tom Venuto that we’re going to be talking about next time!
Gee Nino I can hardly wait!
Well my friend that being said lets get to my take, on this so called sugar-free diet shall we!
Ok Nino I have pad and pen ready!
Awesome my friend!
Ok my friend I’m going to make this short and sweet today, and get right to the point! My friend just like the fat-free diet, there is absolutely no such thing today in foods being sugar-free! Furthermore my friend just like we need the proper amount of fats in our diets today, many people are unaware that we need the proper amount of sugar as well! Gee Nino hold on a minute I remember you telling me awhile back, to stay away from eating foods that are high in sugar because it will be turned into fat!
My friend your absolutely correct with that statement, I certainly do remember telling you that! Well my friend I have some news for you! Gee Nino I had a feeling you were going to say that again to me! Nino what’s the news? Well my friend believe or not this sugar-free diet that you’ve been on is loaded with artificial sugars, that your body definitely does not need because it wll eventually be turned into fat!
Gee Nino wait a minute here are you trying to funny here, because everything that I’ve been eating the products say that there 100% sugar-free! Well my friend I understand that but if you read the ingredients in these sugar-free products, I almost will guarantee you that their replacing it with three artificial types of sugars that many people are unaware of!
Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking…. what are these three types of artificial sugars called? My friend I’m very glad that you asked me that simply because I will almost guarantee you again of this! My friend the sugar-free oatmeal, yogurt, and candy bar that you brought today for me to check out will have one of these artificial sugars in their ingredients!
Ok my friend! Are you ready to write these artificial sugars down?
Yeah Nino because I’m definitely going to check if the products that I brought today, contain any of these three artificial sugars that your about to tell me! Ok my friend here they are! Well my friend let’s see there’s splenda, aspartame, and sugar alcohol! Ok my friend let’s see if your sugar-free oatmeal, yogurt and candy bar has one of these artificial sugars that I just named off to you!
Ok Nino the oatmeal says that it’s sweetened with splenda!
Ok my friend how about the yogurt
Ok Nino the yogurt says it’s sweetened with aspartame!
Gee Nino so far your two for two!
Ok my friend last but not least how about the candy bar?
Gee Nino it looks like your three for three because the candy bar, is sweetened with sugar alcohols just like you said!
Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest with you this sugar-free diet is becoming a little bit to sweet for me to continue! Nino I have to hand it to you again it’s like I’ve been telling you since we’ve been getting together week after week! Nino which is simply you know how to put things in the right context, to where anyone would not want to continue doing something that is probably not a good idea for them to continue on doing!
Gee my friend it sounds to me that I’ve convinced you that diets today, are really not free of what they say they are…… this one in particular being sugar! Gee Nino now I definitely think that you deserve a gold star today for educating me once again, on another one of these so called free diets that are out there today! Nino if I learned anything today on diets being free, it’s that just because they say it’s free of something doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily healthy!
Gee Nino could I ask you one more question….before we call it a day?
My friend absolutely! What’s on your mind?
Well Nino you said earlier that we need to have sugar in our diets today! My friend that’s absolutely correct! Ok Nino then what kind of sugars should I be having in my diet? My friend thanks for asking me that because I certainly wasn’t going to leave today without helping you figure that out!
Ok my friend I would reccommend that you try to eat more of the simple natural sugars like for example fruit, all natural fruit jam and stay away from artificial sugars as you found out today! Gee Nino thanks! My friend it’s my pleasure! Hey Nino what do you say I treat you to an “All Natural Strawberry Fruit Smoothy”? Gee my friend now your talking my langauge…. let’s go get fruity!!!
October 3rd, 2007
Hey good afternoon my friend it’s great to see you again! How are things going with you on this gorgeous day? Gee Nino thanks for asking! Well Nino I would have to say that things have been going, rather smoothly since our meeting together last week! Gee my friend when things go smoothly in a person’s life, that could only tell me one thing!
Gee Nino! What might that be??
Well my friend! That tells me that your life lately has been rather boring and uneventful, in other words you’ve had it rather easy going and problem free! My friend! Would you tend to agree with me with that assumption, or is there something your not telling me about! Gee Nino I would have to say that your absolutely correct with that assumption! Furthermore Nino we’ve been together long enough now for you to know, if there was something I definitely needed to talk to you about I would tell you!
Gee my friend! I would have to say this is the first time since we’ve been together, that there is absoulutley nothing that we need to discuss! Well my friend! I have news for you I definitely don’t think that God is going to allow us, to have a week off without us discussing a topic!
My friend! Here’s what I suggest that we both do then, so we can keep God happy! My friend we both need to take a few minutes now, and think of a good topic of discussion that we can talk about today!
My friend! How does that sound to you?
Gee Nino that sounds like a plan! Nino I’ll put on my thinking cap and start turning those wheels of knowledge in my head!
Great my friend I’ll do the same here! My friend I’m pretty sure that we’ll come up with something, to talk about today between the two of us! My friend if you don’t mind while I’m thinking here, I’m going to finish eating my lunch and eat my broccoli!
Gee Nino! That’s fine go right ahead it’s better that you eat your vegetables than “me”! Gee my friend! What do you mean by that statement?? Gee Nino you’ll never see me eating broccoli, or any kind of vegetables for that matter!
Gee my friend I can’t believe it!
Gee Nino what can’t you believe! Nino is it the fact that you’ll never see me eating vegetables in my diet? Well my friend yeah that’s half of it I would have to say! Gee Nino what’s the other half? Gee my friend I believe it’s quite simple! My friend believe it or not you’ve come through again, and I’m amazed that you’ve done it in such record time!
Gee Nino I’m confused here once again this week! Nino what have I done in such record time that you seem so amazed by??
Gee my friend haven’t you been paying attention so far today! My friend! I believe I just asked you to take a few minutes, and think about a topic of discussion that we can talk about today! Yeah Nino I’m trying but I just haven’t come up with anything yet! Well my friend I would strongly have to disagree with you, because it’s like I said you’ve come through once again!
Gee Nino now you really have me confused! Nino first I amaze you now I seem to have come through once again with something!
Gee Nino which one is it??
My good friend it’s both because I’m amazed that it only took you, a few seconds to come up with our next topic of discussion today!
My friend! Would you like to take a wild guess on what that topic might be??
Gee Nino! I’ll be totally honest with you I really don’t have a clue, on what our next topic of discussion is today! Gee Nino would you mind helping me out and shed some light, on what we’re going to be discussing today! My friend not a problem it would be my pleasure to help you out!
Ok my friend! Let’s go back to when I was finishing my lunch earlier, and I was eating my broccoli! Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that our discussion today is going to have something, to do with why I should be eating my vegetables as well! Gee my friend you haven’t lost a step all you needed was for me, to give you a little hint for you to figure out our topic today because your absolutely right!!
Well my friend! I’m glad that you let the cat out of the bag on our discussion today, because in my next blog I’m going tell you why it’s so important for you to be eating your veggies too! My friend I truly feel that eating your veggies is another area that many people, in our society today seem to be struggling with in doing! My friend so don’t think for one minute that your the only one today, that hasn’t been eating your veggies daily in your diet! My friend! I’m sincerely hoping that after our discussion today I’ll be able to convince you, without any doubt or excuses you might have to start eating your veggies today!
My friend! Are you ready for me to tell you why it’s so important for you, to start eating that can of spinach without any excuses whatsoever??
Yeah Nino! Gee Nino something tells me that I’m about to receive another valuable lesson this week, I think I better get my pen and pad out once again!
My friend! That sure sounds like a good plan to me!
My friend the time has come for you next lesson….. pay close attention!
Well my friend! First I want to start off today by saying that many people are unaware that eating your veggies today, has become a very important part of their diets! My friend I’m going to give you a couple of reasons, why today I feel so strongly about this! My friend I think this would be a good time for you to start writing! Gee Nino! Have you forgotton I’m beginning to think like you remember…. because I’ve already started writing! Oh your right my friend how could I have forgotten! Well my friend I guess that means soon your going to be, eating your veggies like “me” right??
Gee Nino I don’t know about that! Nino I think I’ll need some convinving from you first, before I can honestly say that! Gee my friend absolutely I wouldn’t want it any other way! Furthermore my friend convining people to do something that they would not normally do, is another one of my many gifts that God has blessed me with! Gee Nino I definitely would have to agree with you on that! Nino because since we’ve been together you’ve conviniced me to do certain things, in my life that I would never have thought I’d be doing like for example ”weight training”!
Well my friend that being said I think it’s time for me to convince you to start eating your veggies! Like I said earlier my friend I have two major reasons to give you, that would no doubt convince you to open up that can of spinach! My friend here comes reason number one, I hope your getting ready to write this all this down!
Yep Nino I sure am go ahead!
Ok my friend!
Well my friend as your now well aware it’s important today in our diets, to have the proper amount of carbs, protein and fats! My friend! Would you agree with me on that assumption! Yeah Nino absolutely! Nino ever since we discussed that I’ve been eating the proper amounts of carbs, protein, and fats in my diet just as you advised me to do! Great my friend! My friend there is one more thing that we need to make sure that we get the proper amount of daily in our diets, that many people today in our society are unaware of!
My friend! Would you like to take a guess on what that might be??
Gee Nino! I have no clue what I could be missing in my diet….. I thought we covered it all!
Well my friend your definitely not alone because there are many people in our society today who are missing this as well in their diets! My friend the answer I’m looking for is “fiber”! Gee Nino what’s “fiber”? Well my friend many people are unaware of the importance of having the proper amounts of fiber in their diets today! My friend it’s recommended that we get at least 25-30 grams of fiber daily today in our diets, to help keep us stay regular and maintain a healthy weight!
Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea that we needed that much fiber in our diets! Nino this probably explains why I haven’t been using, the restroom very often lately! Well my friend! I have news for you this is where eating your veggies daily will help you greatly in that area, and also fill in the 25-30 grams of fiber that is recommended we have each day because their loaded with fiber!
Gee Nino that can of spinach is sure looking good right about now!
Great my friend don’t open that can of spinach just yet, I still have one more reason to give you!
Oh Nino I’m sorry your getting me so excited to start eating my veggies that I completely forgot! My friend what did I tell you about apologizing it’s not necessary! My friend I’m glad that your getting excited to start eating your veggies! My friend this last reason I’m about to give you is really going to have you go for that can of spinach! My friend by eating your veggies daily, its going to make you look and be as strong as “Popeye”!!
Listen my friend! I’m not trying to be funny here the message I sincerely hope you got here today is quite simple! My friend! I’m not at all trying to force you to eat your veggies but as you found out today, they play a very important role in our diets! Gee Nino you don’t have to say another word, I get the message loud and clear! Gee Nino I know that your probably sick of hearing it, but it has to be said again!
Gee my friend and what might that be?
Gee Nino you should know it by now I’ve been telling it to you, pretty much every week that we’ve been together! Gee my friend I must have forgotton on what it is! My friend I think it’s your turn now to refresh my memory! Ok Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you week after week! Nino you know how to put things in the right context to where anyone, would want to follow in your footsteps!
My friend that sure sounds like to me that I’ve convinced you, to start eating your veggies today! Gee Nino you not only convinced me but I have a strong feeling that you’ve also convinced many other people in our society today as well! Gee Nino I have a great idea! My friend! What might that be? Gee Nino what do you say I treat you to a spinach salad! My friend it sounds like your talking my language once again…. let’s go!!
September 11th, 2007
Hey my friend good morning! My friend I really appreciate you meeting me earlier than usual today! My friend it’s just that my whole day is filled with appointments I definitely wanted to make sure, that we could still meet today to discuss our next topic this week! My friend the last thing that God want’s us to do here, is to start skipping weeks of us getting together!
Oh my friend! Where are my manners I forgot to ask you, the most important question of the morning!
Gee Nino what might that be!
My friend! How are you doing on this early morning??
Gee Nino I’m really glad you asked because I haven’t been getting, hardly any sleep this week! Gee my friend that’s not a good thing! My friend you need to be getting your proper rest in order for you to grow, and for that matter be able to function right throughout your day! Gee Nino I know it’s just that I’ve been working alot of overtime, lately and I just haven’t had time to sleep!
Gee my friend! How have you been able to function and stay awake??
Well Nino I’ve been drinking tons of coffee! Nino I read in a health magazine that caffine will definitely give you, that boost of energy you need when your body is feeling drained and tired! Gee Nino! I’ll be totally honest with you I’ve been really loading up on the caffine lately because I definitely need it, to keep me going and most imporant to keep me awake at my job!
Gee Nino! What are your thoughts on caffine?
Gee my friend I believe you’ve done it again!
Gee Nino! Let me take a wild guess on what that might be!
Ok my friend go for it!
Gee Nino! I believe I’ve just given us our next topic of discussion today!
Gee my friend! I believe your starting off on the right track today, because you couldn’t be more right with that assumption! My friend before we begin our discussion today, might I ask you what’s in that huge mug that you have in your hand? Oh sure Nino! Nino on the way here this morning I stopped at Starbauchs, and picked up a 16oz cup of Java!
Gee my friend why am I not at all surprised with that answer! Well my friend! Since we’re on the topic of questions, I might as well ask you a few more if you don’t mind! Gee Nino absolutely go right ahead!
Gee Nino! Why do I have a strong feeling that these questions your about to ask me, are going to have alot to do with me having caffine! Gee my friend it’s like I’ve been telling you lately your really beginning to know in how I operate! My friend I can assure you that these questions are mainly for the purpose, so I can help you today on our discussion!
Ok my friend that being said…. are you ready for the questions??
Yeah Nino absolutely!
Great!
Ok my friend here comes my next question! My friend about how many of these 16oz mugs of Java have you been drinking a day??
Gee Nino I had a strong feeling that you were going to ask me that! Well Nino I don’t think your going to like my answer but you made me realize last week, that it’s ok if I don’t give you the right answers to your questions everytime! My friend! I’m so glad that your finally realizing that because remember, I’m only trying to help you in your life not hurt you!
Gee Nino I know that and believe me when I tell you, your blogs each week has really had a positive impact in my life lately and I know many other people’s lives as well! Ok Nino now to answer your question! Let’s see Nino I would have to say I have about nine of those 16oz cups of Java a day! Gee my friend! That sure is alot of caffine for you to be having in one day! Oh Nino I’m not finished! Nino on top of all that Java that I’ve been drinking, I’ve also been having six to seven Red Bull energy drinks a day as well!
Ok my friend! I think I’m going to jump right into my last question because we really need to discuss, on what’s happening here with all the caffine you’ve been having lately!
Ok my friend! Here’s my last question of the day!
My friend! Would you consider caffine to be a drug??
Gee Nino absolutely not! Nino almost every person in our society today, is having some form of caffine in their diets! Well my friend your half right with my question! First of all my friend your absolutely right in stating that most people, in our society today are having caffine in their diets! My friend on the other hand your absolutely wrong in stating that caffine is not a drug! My friend! Caffine is most definitely considered to be a drug today and it can also be an addicting one at that, in which I strongly believe your already headed in that direction!
So that being said my friend! In my next blog I’m going to give my thoughts on caffine and why I so strongly feel, that caffine is a drug today that many people in our society are becoming addicted and hooked on! Furthermore my friend I’m also going to share with you some effects, that caffine can have on your mental stand point as well!
My friend! I believe this is another good time to get your pen and pad out, because just like last week your about to receive another valuable lesson!
Gee Nino! I really think that we’re starting to get on the same page since we’ve been together, because I already have my pen inked and ready to write!
Awesome my friend!
Here we once again!
Well my friend let me first start off today by giving you my thoughts on caffine! My friend after which I sincerely hope that I would have convinced you, of the simple fact that caffine is not the answer in helping you stay awake! My friend like I stated to you earlier caffine is nothing more than another one of those addicted drugs, that many people in our society are becoming hooked on and dependant on as well! Gee Nino I hope you don’t mind me saying this but do you have any proof to give me, that caffine has become an addicting drug in our society today!
Gee my friend! Have you been sleeping while we’ve been discussing our topic on caffine today??
Gee Nino are you trying to funny again!
My friend absolutely not I couldn’t be more serious with you today! My friend caffine addiction has become a very serious problem facing many people in our society today! Actually believe it or not my friend your statement to me earlier is all the proof I need, to help back up in why I feel so strongly of the fact that caffine has become an addicting drug in our society today! Gee Nino! Could you help refresh my memory because I’m a little confused, on how I could be the proof on what your telling me here!
Gee my friend it would be my pleasure to help refresh your memory! Well my friend! When I asked you earlier on how much caffine you’ve been having throughout your day, your answer was and I quote “Nino I have nine 16oz cups of Java plus six to seven Red bulls a day”!
My friend am I correct with that statement??
Gee Nino I guess I forgot I said that your absolutely right! Gee Nino I apologize to you I guess I have become addicted to caffine! Gee Nino I guess I never realized it until now! My friend! How many times do I have to tell you that you never, have to apologize to me about anything ever I’m here to help you remember! Yeah Nino I know that and like I said to you earlier I really appreciate everything you’ve been teaching me, because you’ve made such a positive impact on my life so far!
My friend it’s my pleasure! God knows how much I want to help people in their lives so what better way to do that, but none other than the birth of “Nino’s Mission”! Ok my friend this brings me to my last point on caffine of the day!
Well my friend as you now are in agreement with me that caffine can become very addicting today it can also have this mental effect as well on you! My friend! Would you like to know on what that effect might be??
Gee Nino absolutely I’m learning alot today! Nino I’ll be totally honest with you I’m really not starting to like all this caffine I’ve been having lately, now knowing all this info you’ve been telling me today!
Great my friend! I definitely was hoping that I would be able to start convincing you of the fact that caffine, is not the answer in helping you to stay awake and keep you going! Gee my friend hold the phone! My friend I still have one more mental side effect to tell you, that caffine can have on you remember!
Oh Yeah Nino! What is it??
Well my friend! Did you know that caffine acts as a depressant as well? Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea! Nino I thought that caffine is supposed to lift us up… not bring us down! Actually Nino it’s funny that you should mention this because I have been feeling, a little down in the dumps lately ever since I started on this caffine rush! Well my friend I think you just learned about another important side effect that caffine can have on you today!
Gee Nino I sure did! Nino I’m sorry if I sound like a broken record week after week to you, but I have to say it again! Gee my friend what might that be?? Nino you know how to put things in the right context to where people, would have absolutely no choice but to take your sound advice on certain things in their lives!
Well my friend! I’m so glad to hear you say that once again! Oh my friend before we end our discussion today, I believe I’ve come up with perfect solution in helping you to stay awake! Gee Nino what might that be?? Nino because I think I’ve had enough of all this caffine!
Great my friend here it is…. are you ready??
Yeah Nino! What’s your perfect solution to keep me going strong all day long! My friend it’s quite simple on what the solution is…. it’s really a No-Brainer! My friend my advice to you is go home and get some sleep “No Excuses” in why you can’t! Gee Nino! That’s the best advice that I’ve heard all week, because that’s exactly what I’m going to start doing from now on! Nino absolutely No More caffine for me whatsoever! My friend now your talking my language again!!
August 31st, 2007
Gee my friend I was just about to call you, to see if you were coming today! Gee Nino I apologize for being thirty minutes late today! My friend don’t worry about it….. is everything ok with you?? Yeah Nino everything is fine! Nino I actually just came from the gym!
Gee my friend you must of really worked out hard today, because your all out of breath and your shirt is soaked! Gee my friend! I certainly hope that you’ve been drinking alot of water after your workouts, because you need to put back all the water that your body loses after an intense workout!
My Friend! Have you been drinking at least a gallon of water… daily throughout your day??
Gee Nino! I don’t think your going to be to happy with my answer to your question! Actually Nino I’m lucky if I drink one glass of water…. throughout my whole day! Gee Nino I have a feeling what I’m about to tell you next, is not going to make you to happy either! Well my friend! Since your on a roll so far today being absolutely right about me not being happy, with what your telling me you might as well be two for two today! Ok Nino here it comes! Nino I never drink water after my workouts!
Well friend! I certainly have to tip my hat off to you once again!
Gee Nino! Something tells me that I just came up with… our next topic of discussion today!
Well my friend you just made it three for three today, because your absolutely right with making that assumption! My friend before we even begin our discussion today on why it’s so important, to drink that water today I’m afraid I’m going to need to ask you one more question!
Gee Nino sure but before you do can I just say… one more thing to you!
Absolutely my friend go right ahead!
Ok Nino! Nino do you remember our topic of discussion last week, when I was giving you all the right answers to your questions! Gee my friend absolutely! My friend you were on a roll, I believe I even gave you a gold star if I recall as well! Yeah Nino you did but I have a feeling that I’m not going to be receiving, any gold stars from you this week!
Ok stop right there my friend!
Listen my friend! I certainly don’t expect you each week to come up with all the right answers, to the questions that I might ask you! Gee my friend! Just think if you gave me all the right answers to my questions, each and every week our mission would be over! I’ll be totally honest with you my friend! I actually like it when you don’t come up with all the right answers to my questions, because God want’s to make sure that you keep me doing my job! Which is simply my friend to continue to educate, motivate, and inspire you so you can also, teach others one day these same principles in their lives as well! My friend like I keep telling you over and over again, we’re in this mission together!
Gee Nino! Are you trying to make me feel better by telling me this?
Absolutely not my friend! I’m being totally honest with you!!
Gee Nino thanks I feel alot better now…. you can go ahead now and ask me your next question!
Great my friend!
Well my friend! If you haven’t been drinking water throughout your day…… what have you been drinking then? Gee Nino I’ve been drinking alot of diet soda and tons of orange juice! Gee Nino something tells me that’s not a good thing for me to be doing! My friend your absolutely right again! My friend that definitely is not a good thing for you to be drinking, all that soda and orange juice everyday!
Gee my friend! I’m surprised you don’t have a hole in your stomach by now, with all the acid and carbonation that you’ve been drinking! Well my friend! I have news for you that’s all about to come to an end because in my next blog, I’m going to tell to you why it’s so important for you to be drinking that water instead of all that acid and sugar!
Gee Nino I had a feeling that you were going to say that to me! Nino I also have a feeling that I’m about to be educated once again today!
Gee my friend your absolutely right again and you told me earlier, that you weren’t giving me any right answers today!
Ok that be said my friend!
Are you ready for your next lesson on why it’s so important, for you to be drinking that water??
Gee Nino I sure am! Nino I even have my pen and pad ready!
Great my friend!
Here we go once again!
Well my friend! Let me first start off today by commenting on something you said to me eariler, which was that you never drink water after your workouts! My friend am I correct by saying that? Yeah Nino your absolutely correct! Well my friend! I know for a fact for myself knowing how hard I train each and everyday and all the water that I lose, in the process if I didn’t immediately drink water after my workouts I would literally pass out!!
Gee my friend! I don’t know how you’ve been doing it! Gee Nino! What’s wrong with me drinking diet soda and orange juice after my workouts? Gee my friend haven’t you been paying attention today! Like I said all that acid is going to burn a hole right through your stomach! Furthermore my friend all that acid and sugar that you’ve been drinking is going to eat away, at your hard earned muscles that you’ve worked so hard to get! My friend! Did you know by you drinking that water it will help keep your muscles looking full, and also help increase your muscle size as well!
Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea that water will help increase my muscle size, and keep them looking full! Gee Nino this probably explains why my muscles have been looking quite flat lately! Well my friend I would have to say that’s a pretty safe assumption by you, I definitley would have to agree with you on that as well!
Ok my friend! If that didn’t convince you of the fact that you need to drink that water, maybe what I’m about to tell you next will! My friend! Did you know that by drinking water it can help decrease your bodyfat, and also flush out all the bad toxins in your system and keep it clean! Gee Nino I certainly didn’t know that either! Nino I think I’m starting to realize today, of how important drinking that water really is in my life!
Gee my friend! I’m glad to hear you say that but I have one more reason to tell you why drinking that water is so important in our lives! My friend I strongly believe this reason I’m about to give you, is going to make you want to go home and start drinking that gallon of water!
My friend! Are you ready to know the most important reason of all on why… you should be drinking that water??
Yeah Nino let me have it!
Ok my friend here it is!
My friend! Did you know that water plays an essential role in keeping our skin looking smooth and healthy! Furthermore my friend water will prevent our skin from drying out and cracking! Gee Nino this also probably explains why I’ve been using alot of moisturizer for my skin lately, because its been extremely dry and rough! Gee my friend your absolutely right again!

Hello my friend it’s great to see you again! How’s everything going with you today? Nino thanks for asking! Nino I have to say things are going good today, I really can’t complain! Gee Nino I’m actually looking forward to see what our next topic, of discussion is going to be on today!
Nino how’s it going with you today?
Well my friend thanks for asking because it’s been, a really stressful week for me so far! Gee Nino is everything ok with you? Actually my friend I’m doing fine! My friend it’s actually some of my clients that I train, that are making my job to help them very tough right now!
Gee Nino would you like to talk to me about it??
Gee my friend! That’s usually my line that I ask you…. each and every week! Well my friend since you asked yeah I definitely, would like to talk to you about it! Actually my friend! I think I also would like to talk to the millions of people in our society, about it as well today!
Gee Nino! Here’s a thought since you put it that way why don’t we make it, our next topic of discussion this week! Gee my friend now your talking my language that’s a great idea! My friend it’s like I’ve been telling you since the beginning! God brought you to “me” for this specific reason to help me come up with all these, important topics that people in our society might be struggling with in their lives!
Gee Nino! So what’s the topic of discussion that we’re going to be talking about today?
Well my friend! It’s something that I’ve been having a tough time of getting, all of my clients to do for me lately! My friend which is simply getting them to eat right! My friend I’ve had to deal with alot of my clients this week literally coming to me, crying because their very unhappy in the way their bodies are looking! Let me just say my friend! I know for a fact the reason why my clients aren’t seeing the results that they would like, has absolutely nothing to do with the way that I’ve been training them!
My friend the problem is their nutrition! Gee Nino! I hope you don’t mind me asking you but how can you be so sure, that their nutrition is to blame why your clients aren’t seeing the results that they would like?? Gee my friend! I’ll say it again and again to you if I have to you can ask me anything this is why I’m here, to answer any questions that you might have to the best of my knowledge!
My Friend! That being said the answer to your question is quite simple! My friend I have a policy that all my clients must agree to, before I take them on as a client of mine! Gee Nino! I have a couple of friends of mine who are personal trainers and they don’t have a policy, that their clients have to agree to before they take them on as a client! Gee Nino they’ll get as many clients as they can, and make as much money as they can! Well my friend! This is what makes me different than some of the other trainers, that our out there today! Which is simply my friend I’m in the business to help people, not to see how much money I could make!
Gee Nino! I know how you like to keep me in suspense so what’s your policy that all your clients, have to agree to before you agree to train them! Well my friend I have all my clients carry a notepad around with them, and have them write down everything that they eat throughout their day! Gee Nino your the only trainer that I know that would go, to that extreme just to help your clients! Well my friend I’ll say it to you again! I’m in the business soley to help people, look and feel better about themselves not for the money!
So my friend! That being said I’m going to take it even further now because in my next blog, I’m going to be helping millions of people in our society also understand the importance of eating right in their lives! My friend if you thought for one minute “my” policy of eating right only applies, to people who exercise boy were you ever wrong!
Listen my friend my objective today is simple! Which is to get as many people as I can to start my policy of eating right, because there’s absolutely “No Excuse” whatsoever why they can’t! Furthermore my friend I’m also going to tell you some advantages that “my” policy, will have on your overall health and attitude in your life as well!
My friend! Are you ready to start putting some high octane fuel into your system??
Gee Nino! I know my system could definitley use a boost!
Ok my friend….. here we go again!
Gee Nino before you start could I ask you another question?
My friend absolutely!
What would you like to know??
Well Nino earlier when you stated that you have all your clients write down everything, that they eat throughout their day am I correct in saying that! Yep my friend your right on the money! Gee Nino how do you know if their telling you the truth? Well my friend that’s another great question! My friend have you ever heard the saying “The proof is in the pudding”! Gee Nino I sure have! Well my friend! It’s quite simple in how I know if my clients are being truthful, when they write down on their notepad for me what they’ve eaten throughout their day!
My Friend! Would you like me to tell you in how I can tell?
Gee Nino I sure do!
My Friend I simply look in how their physiques are looking! Listen my friend there is absolutely no way whatsoever a person, can’t visibly see changes in their physiques if their eating right! Gee Nino you really know how to cover all the bases to where there are absolutely no excuses, a person can give you why their not seeing their bodies change except for the simple fact that their not eating right!
Gee my friend your right on the money again! My friend I think your beginning to know how I operate! Gee Nino I sure am simply we need to start being more truthful to ourselves, for the decisions that we make in our lives today without making excuses!
Ok my friend! What do you say I give you a couple of reasons why it’s important that we all, should try to eat right today weather we exercise or not?
Gee Nino that sounds like a great idea!
Ok my friend! Oh my friend I should have reminded you earlier to get your pen and pad out, because this info I’m about to give you is so important for you to know! Gee Nino not to worry…. I’ve had it out the whole time!
Great my friend your really on the ball today!
Well my friend! When we fuel our bodies with food we should think of our bodies like an automobile! My friend answer me this question! Ok Nino ask away! Ok my friend! What happens when we fuel, our automobiles with low octane fuel?? Gee Nino the answer is quite simple, our automoblies are going to run very sluggish basically lose alot of it’s power! Gee my friend your really cooking today…. because your absolutely right!!
Ok my friend let me ask you another question! Gee Nino why all the questions today? My friend I’m trying to make a point to you here! Ok Nino ask away! Ok my friend! What happens when we fuel our automobiles with high octane fuel? Gee Nino the answer is a no brainer…. it’s going to run like a jet engine! Gee my friend your exactly right again! My friend I think you deserve a gold star today!
So my friend! Do you get the point that I’m trying to make to you here?
Gee Nino absolutely!! Nino if we put low octane fuel into our bodies we can expect, our bodies to look and peform poorly each and every time! On the other hand Nino if we put higher octane fuel into our bodies, the end result is quite simple! Gee my friend and what might that end result be? Gee Nino get with the program! Nino are bodies are going to look and perform like a champion, each and every time without any excuses!
Gee my friend your just coming up with all the right answers today, because your absolutely right on the money once again! Ok my friend now I’m going to give you the most important reason, why it is so important that we try to eat right today in our lives! Well my friend it’s quite simple! My friend by eating right we can expect to live a more longer healthier life as studies have shown!
Listen my friend! I hope I was able to shed some light for you today on why, it is so important for us to try to eat right today! Gee Nino you sure have and I have a strong feeling that you also convinced, millions of people in our society of the importance of eating right as well! Gee Nino I’ll say it again and again to you as many times as I have to, until you get tired of me telling you this! Nino you know how to put things in the right context to where a person would have no choice, but to follow the advice you give them in certain areas of their lives in this case why they should be eating right today!
Well my friend! It’s funny that you should say that again to me because I’m going to leave you, with an old saying today that I’m pretty sure that your familiar with! Which is “You are what you eat”! Listen my friend you can’t expect to get that million dollar body, that you dream of if you don’t eat right today!!
