Is Milk The Enemy

About a month or so ago my Doctor called me to let me know about my yearly physical. She said my blood preasure and all that came back perfect as always because I workout and eat right most of the time. She had only one problem. I was not getting enough vitamin D and showed signs of being a little anemic. Now to anyone else that would be nothing but to me it was something. I was like WTF lol I drink gallons of milk a week. How can I be anemic and not be getting enough vitamin D. This got me to thinking hmmm maybe milk doesn't do a body good. I have always been a milk drinker since I was a kid and I've always had certain ailments (pain in side,bloating & some others that I think are TMI lol) that I never assumed could be caused by milk until talking to one of my friends on twitter (@Healthierme) and doing a little research of my own. I've been off of milk for almost 2 weeks now and so far no more pain in my side. Now I'm still not tottally convinced that milk is the enemy but for me it just doesn't do it. Millions of people don't do dairy products, an estimated 75 percent of Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans--and 90 percent of Asians--don't produce enough lactase, the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar, or lactose.

What's Next After P90X

Get That Summer Body ASAP (GuruXtreme Workout)

This is a full body workout because I just don't like split routines (-: anyway I've tried to keep it simple with exercises most people can figure out how to do. Try it at your own risk of course O-o and make sure you use a weight that is a bit difficult for you when doing this workout, you'll really notice a difference in how you feel over the course of the next few days. I suggest after you do this workout you leave atleast a day inbetween before doing it again. Do 1 set of each exercise straight through. Don't rest inbetween exercises. Aim for about 12-15 reps of each exercise. On each exercise that calls for weights use a weight thats about 25-30% of your max. Warm up for about 5-10 mins on a cardio machine. Go through each exercise once to feel out how much weight your going to use.


1)Barbell Squats or BodyWeight Squats 12-15 reps

2)Rows 12-15 reps

3)Incline Dumbbell Bench Press or Push Ups 12-15 reps
