IKSC Link Blast: September 6, 2020
The bird in the photos is a golden eagle. It was feeding on a dead coyote way out in the desert on beef rangeland. There are 1,000s of cows in the area. This is one of the nuanced parts of beef production that is rarely discussed. There are also 1,000s of wild animals, insects, reptiles and birds that live on rangeland. The cattle help by keeping the grasses (fire fuel load) in-check and fertilizing the soil.
Considerations for Selecting the Ideal Belly Fat Loss Pill
Finding the right belly fat loss pill can be a game-changer. But with so many options on the market, how do you know which one is truly effective? Let’s explore some important factors to consider when selecting an ideal pill that can help you lose belly fat fast.
Safety Profiles and Potential Side Effects
One of the first things you should consider when choosing a belly fat loss pill is its safety profile. Look for products that have undergone rigorous testing and have been approved by reputable organizations. This ensures that they meet certain quality standards and are safe for consumption.
While most belly fat loss pills are generally safe, it’s crucial to be aware of potential side effects. Some common side effects may include digestive issues, headaches, or increased heart rate. It’s essential to read the product label carefully and consult with your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or take other medications.
Long-Term Sustainability
Losing belly fat isn’t just about quick results; it’s about maintaining a healthy lifestyle in the long run. Consider whether the pill you’re considering promotes sustainable weight loss habits rather than relying solely on a temporary fix.
Look for pills that not only help burn belly fat but also provide guidance on healthy eating habits and regular exercise. These pills often work best when combined with a balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
Individual Needs and Preferences
Everyone’s body is unique, so what works for one person may not necessarily work for another. Consider your individual needs and preferences when selecting a belly fat loss pill. For example, if you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies, make sure to check the ingredients list before making a purchase.
Some people may prefer natural or herbal supplements over synthetic ones. It’s important to find a pill that aligns with your personal preferences and beliefs.
Certifications and Approvals
To ensure the quality and efficacy of a belly fat loss pill, look for certifications or approvals from reputable organizations. These certifications indicate that the product has undergone thorough testing and meets certain standards.
For example, look for pills that are certified by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or have been approved by other regulatory bodies. This provides peace of mind knowing that the product you’re using is safe and effective.
Vitamin D
The latest on Vitamin D: Just what many of us have been hinting at with all the positive indications on vitamin D. For those that need a study, here is one:

I know this is starting to be redundant on the vitamin D, but here’s more.

Training Smart
Note that we do lots of sets “on-the-minute” or with a specific rest period. This article says it is for big athletes, but I find this works just as well for most normal people that aren’t 21 years old and who are training for general health and fitness. The goal is to avoid training injuries.
Training for Monsters
Foot Muscles
I totally agree with the sentiment in this article about training the foot muscles, but you don’t necessarily need to do the exercises presented.
One of the chief reasons IKSC’s training is very effective is that there is ample attention paid to the effect it will have on the feet and ankles (even if I don’t go on about it in class every day). Even a slight degree of immobility or instability in the feet and ankles causes a ripple effect that decreases force production throughout the body (think of it like your car’s traction control taking power away so you won’t spin the tires).
Simply training barefoot and spending as much time barefoot as possible is the most obvious, and why I encourage it and discourage training in shoes like running shoes. Here are some of the most valuable exercises we do for the feet and ankles, in no particular order:
1. Crawling, lunging, loaded carries, etc.
2. Swings, and goblet squats.
3. Even pushups and especially Hindu pushups force the feet to work and provide extra stability.
I believe it was Gichin Funakoshi (founder of modern Karate-Do) that said Karate training exercises the body from toes to fingertips. This is important to consider for overall health.
Weak Feet = Weak Body
Meal Timing Mistakes
One of the things I’m always asked about when it comes to my nutrition program is whether people have to eat several times a day. No. I’ve never bought into that idea. It was validated for me back in the 2000s, when I read The Warrior Diet by Ori Hofmekler. Basically, the idea of eating frequently is a modern invention, and the eventual problems that go with it have to do with it just not being inline with what our genes expect us to do, which is eat one or two big meals per day and sometimes go long stretches without eating.
