This is a very powerful blender that according to Victoria Boutenko "can almost liquify wooden blocks". A blender like this is a must-have if you plan on being successful on your raw diet or if you're just starting out your journey toward a healthier lifestyle, because the Vitamix can break down the cell walls of plant cells and release the life-giving contents. Vita-Mix brand blenders are also used at one of my favorite stores, Jamba Juice.

This is another very powerful blender that can practically blend anything. BlendTec blenders are used by Starbucks and are known for their durability and power, 13 amps, 3 peak horsepower, and 1500 Watts.
What I love about these blenders is that by pressing the preset buttons with the smart touch technology the blender will automatically speed up and slow down at exact intervals to give you the perfect result every time. To the right you can see the Blendtec Total Blender, available in white or black.
If you like baking and pastries Blendtec gives you the mixer and blender in one called Mix n' Blend II. You get mixing, blending, whipping, and kneading all in one at the the push of a button. Add to that the amzing Kitchen Grain Mill and you can make your own healthy, organic, and preservative-free flour right at home.
This dehydrator is excellent at evenly drying crackers, cookies, fruits, and vegetables. It is recommended that you go for the 9 tray option even if it's just for yourself. You can visit Excalibur's website for more information.
Once you have made a bunch of dehydrated food, it's a great to be able to vacuum pack them so that they would last a lot longer, and the FoodSaver is a great product for doing just that. Not only do they offer special bags for meats and vegetables, but they also have vacuum canisters for grains and nuts. As you may know most nuts have a fairly high fat content that is very healthy for the body, but over time with exposure to oxygen, heat, and moisture these fats can mutate and become rancid which gives it that distinct stale odor. Rancid "fat is full of free radicals and can contribute to all the health and aging problems associated with them"1. Click the banner below to receive a free canister.

This juicer is one of the main equipments in most chefs' kitchens. So much so that they refer to it by name. You can use it to make juices, purées, pâtés and even ice cream. It is also very easy to use and clean with very few moving parts. You can visit the Champion Juicer website for more information.
This is my favorite pen. I have been using it since it came out. It has some great features that give it a tremendous value as a "cheap" pen. Things that you would not get with those $50 or $100 pens. First it's push retractable so you don't have to twist it, and it won't mess things up if you put in your pocket or purse. It is also bleed proof and has a nice soft grip. It also has a ball point pen that is great for filling out forms or anything with a carbon copy. I personally prefer the fine point 0.5mm for everyday and office use, but for my personal writing I prefer the 0.7mm. It also comes in a variety of cool colors.
And if you should use one, hey, it's only a couple bucks.
This program has been developed by Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, M.Sc. who is a world-renowned Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and author of many articles in magazines such as Men's Health, Men's Fitness, Oxygen, Maximum Fitness, and Muscle and Fitness Hers.
His workouts pack a lot of intensity in a 45-minute workout that you can do just 3 times a week to get great results. It is a great alternative to doing long cardio sessions to lose weight, which can actually have the opposite effect and cause your body to retain fat. There is also some medical evidence surfacing by doctors such as Al Sears, MD suggesting that long-duration aerobic exercise can be damaging to the heart, because it mimics the effects of a high-stress life style, namely the prolonged elevated heart rate.
In addition to turbo-charging your fatloss by combining resistance and interval training, Craig's method also boosts your body's fatloss after the workout, which is when you'll burn the majority of the fat calories.
Specially for busy individuals this is the ultimate workout, in & out of the gym in less than 1 hour. You get nutritional insights plus many 4-week workout programs from beginner to advanced, for both men and women.
This is a very comprehensive program and the one I recommend the most. Click here to learn more.
