I’m not an expert, and I’m always skeptical when something promises extreme results easily. You can get some results easily, or extreme results with a lot of effort, but the two generally don’t mix.
Here’s the TL;DR excerpts from the WebMD article¹:
-Does it live up to its hype? Maybe a little, but it might not be worth it.
-A review published in the Journal of Obesity found that people who took garcinia cambogia in studies lost about 2 pounds more than people who didn’t take it. The reviewers couldn’t say for sure that the weight loss was because of the supplement.
-When you take garcinia cambogia, you might get:
-Garcinia cambogia may interact badly with:
-While some research suggests the supplement is safe for your liver, other research says no.
-Even if it’s safe, it may not help you lose much weight. It’s probably wiser to spend your money on healthy food or an exercise DVD. (Edit mine: AMEN!)

The Women’s Health Magazine Summary is: “Our advice? Ditch the fads…”
Consumer Reports Says: “Pill is no miracle…the claims (are) untrue.”
Rob’s thought: If you are on any meds, I’d always consult a physician. In the case of this supplement, it doesn’t appear to do much for the expense and there are a lot of potential downsides if it’s not from a reputable company. IN THE MAIN: it’s going to boil down to calorie burn vs. what you take in. It’s just math. Math is good. Math WORKS.

This minty Shamrock Shake recipe satisfies your sweet tooth and your desire to raise a glass to St. Patrick, but it’s great any time of the year.
Total Time: 15 min.
Prep Time: 15 min.
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
1 kiwi fruit, peeled and diced
¼ cup fresh mint leaves
1 tsp. pure maple syrup
1 scoop Greenberry Shakeology
1 cup ice cubes
Preparation:
1. Place almond milk, kiwi, mint, maple syrup, Shakeology, and ice in blender.
2. Cover and blend until smooth.
Edit: You could cut out the maple syrup IMHO and use Sin Free Sugar for example. Personally the kiwi is a little weird but it looks just to be for color. Bonus: add some Shakeology fiber for thickness. It’s pretty tasteless, but just a little sweet from the apple in it.

I love veteran discounts as much as the next guy. More maybe, because I’m cheap. 🙂
Veterans and Active Duty now get free 25% off Coach discounts on P90X, Insanity, and other programs and fitness products.
Signup is free. The monthly fee is waived if you place a small order every 3 months. This could be a program, protein bars, vitamins, pre and post workout drinks, workout gear…almost anything you can think of.
Technically this is a home based business you are just using for the discount, but it also lets you save a lot of money via tax deductions. Any fees you MIGHT pay are also deductible.

I’d use a signature block here but no one can figure out how to write a proper one for a retired Active Duty/Reserve/Inactive reserve officer. Send me a copy of the Tongue and Quill. (Really, PLEASE DON’T. I’ll just burn it.)
Check out this graph of the keyword search ‘free workout’. It gave me some thoughts.
Sharp peak in January, drop off to nothing at the end of the year: just in time to eat a bunch of junk for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Here’s why your January plan fails. Here’s why MANY workouts fail.
1. You didn’t invest ANYTHING. You were looking for a free workout. Ok, maybe that’s specific to this case. But it makes some sense: did you buy some gear, a HOME PROGRAM you can do there, some supplements to maximize your potential, etc? How much was your cell phone and Starbuck’s bill? Ask yourself: did I invest? Was this expenditure additive to my life? I call this ‘Throwing your hat over the fence.’ The money is spent now you HAVE to use it. Throw your hat over the fence, then you have to go get it. If it’s a cheap gym membership, there’s not much incentive to go or stay home.
2. Who’s helping you? Are you talking to me at http://fb.com/beachfitrob? Join our community and stay involved. Lean on us, support others. Talk, sleep, eat and plan it. “Decide. Commit. Succeed.” Get social. Be around people who have been there and done that.
3. Are you trying to do too much? You’re not going to look like a couch potato one day and The Rock next week. Pick something you LIKE and can STICK WITH for a while, THEN move on to something bigger. Trim away the junk in your diet a little at a time and learn to cook and read labels.
4. Do you even have a plan at all? And are you following an eating, sleeping, and exercising plan AND are you WRITING IT DOWN so you can do better next time? Just going to the gym and messing around is no formula for success. I see that a LOT. No notebook, going quickly from one workout to another and not doing supersets, force sets etc.
Let’s talk: http://fb.com/beachfitrob or call or email me. I’ll get you involved and fix these 4 common problems.
