Can You Gain Muscle and Burn Fat at the Same Time?
Guest Author: Jon Benson, Author of “7 Minute Muscle” Infomercial

Murdering Metabolism
Can you “murder” your metabolism? Not really – but you can certainly screw with it’s “mind.” Let’s say, just for example, you are not consistent with your diet. You have been in and out of weight loss programs and, over the years; you gain and lose weight.
