Anyone that has watched the Survivor TV show knows that starvation will help you lose weight. Anyone that has seen a season finale of the Survivor TV show knows that after you starve off the weight you will put is back on again, and fast.

Well the people that make and market Survivor have decided that they can branch out into foods and diet products. We will have to see where this leads.

CBS Consumer Products has signed at least two new licensing agreements for the Survivor brand that will move the long-running reality show into the realm of health and fitness — with the potential for “many more” product opportunities, Daily Variety reported Wednesday.

Survivor Supercharged Sunflower Seeds are scheduled to hit the shelves in March and the Survivor Fitness Program will launch later this spring in Chicago, according to Variety.

Survivor is part of the lexicon now here in the United States,” CBS Consumer Products executive Liz Kalodner told Variety. “We can translate it into any product or experience that is about challenging one’s self, or the ultimate outdoor experience. Both of these new launches play into that.”

Full Charge Energy Foods concocted the vitamin-infused sunflower seeds, which will be supercharged with 100% of the daily recommended portion of vitamins B and C, according to Variety. The Survivor Fitness Program was created by Fitness Team One and will reportedly utilize “Survivor-style game elements and physical challenges” to help participants live a healthier lifestyle.

Kalodner told Variety she’s also finalizing deals that will create Survivor-themed outdoor adventure programs and corporate team-building/leadership development plans.

In addition, Survivor camping gear, active-wear clothing and more energy-based food products could be on the horizon, Variety reported.

“We’ve got a lot of irons in the fire,” Kalodner told Variety. “You’ll see a lot more along the way.”

Sylvester stallone has been in the news this week as at the age of 61 he is starring in a new Rambo movie and again talking about the benefits of taking human growth hormone.

As you may or may not know human growth hormone, also known as HGH is a supplement that raises your testosterone level and  is also suspected of creating side effects like cancer and lower natural testosterone output.

Sylvester Stallone has spoken out in defence of human growth hormone, saying it has increased his quality of life, and everyone over 40 should use it and says it “increases your quality of life”.

The 61-year-old action star – who was convicted in May 2007 for importing human growth hormone product Jintropin into Australia – insists the substance is “not a steroid”, and claims “everyone over 40″ should try it.

He told Time magazine: “Human growth hormone helped me to get up to 209lbs for the new Rambo movie, which is 40lbs heavier than I was for the last one 20 years ago.

“Human growth hormone is nothing. Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed. Testosterone to me is important for a sense of well-being when you get older. Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases your quality of life.

“Mark my words, in 10 years it will be available over the counter.”

Glutamine is an essential amino acid and has been very much in the news over the last couple of years. Out of all the amino acids, glutamine is probably the most important for people that workout regularly and anyone that is trying to lose weight will want to consider supplementing with glutamine.

Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. It is used by the immune system to maintain optimal performance. most of the free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is glutamine. Glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and it is a very important nutrient for body builders. When supplemented, glutamine may help anyone that exercises to reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells. One of the problems that people have when trying to lose weight through exercise is that when you run out of carbs for your body to use (glycogen) then your body will use protein and fat for energy. Using Glutamine will lower the amount of protein used and instead your body will use your fat for energy. Read the rest of this entry »
