A Surprising New Way to Burn Fat Quickly

I just finished reading an eye opening weight loss report on CNN. The reporter personally tested two of the best selling weight loss products in America and wrote an honest review. I was so shocked by the result of test after I finished reading the report because she revealed some of the hidden secrets in weight loss industry that the pubic will never know.

I strongly recommend you read the report because it will tell you how to really lose weight instead of losing your money on those products that won't work! Here is what the report says:

Health and Diet writer Karen Simpson recently put an emerging diet trend to the test. We had to see for ourselves what this diet was all about. Karen spent four weeks testing the effects of America's newest super-food combined with a Colon Lipo. The results were surprising.

The benefits of the Acai berry diet removed all of our initial skepticism. We found the diet not only helps with weight loss, but it seemed to boost energy levels according to Karen.

Washington, D.C (West Coast News) - Losing weight often feels like an impossible challenge. We have evaluated numerous fad diets over the years. All too frequently their results are just shy of painfully disappointing.

The reason for why most diets fail, in our opinion, is that they impose unrealistic restrictions on how you live your life. Some advocate eating tons of protein others emphasize carbohydrates. In either case, you're left with having to make rather drastic changes to the types of food you eat and when you eat it. In this special report, we take an in-depth look at an emerging and promising weight loss trend that we believe is a game changer, and it won't break the bank.

You may have heard of the enormously popular Acai berry in the news. It's a completely organic berry found deep in the Amazon rainforest of South America. Alone the Acai berry offers many benefits primarily due to its high anti-oxidant content. Combine it with a powerful Colon Lipor, and you've created a fat burning machine. If you're skeptical, you're not alone. When we first learned about this weight loss combo, our diet fad radar went off right away.

Nevertheless, as we began to investigate the countless success stories reported by people from all around the globe, we decided that this weight loss trend was worthy of a closer examination. Moreover, we found it of particular interest that these people had not significantly changed their current lifestyles.

Ella Regan from San Francisco, California was reported to have lost 46 pounds in 3 months while being on the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo combo diet.

In the story on her blog she states,
"I couldn't believe how easy it was. I didn't change my diet or my daily routine, but the fat melted off like it butter. I love this stuff! Finally a diet that just works."

For the West Coast News test, it was inevitable that I was to be the guinea pig for this diet since I was about to get married. I wanted to lose 10 pounds for my wedding. In order to try the Acai Berry and Colon Lipo diet, I ordered two products. First, I got a FREE TRIAL of Lean Spa. Although there are many Acai berry offers available, I chose Lean Spa, since they are one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market.

The Free Trial bottle of Lean Spa was delivered in a few days from ordering and with surprisingly inexpensive shipping. Lean Spa is one of the most concentrated and purest acai products on the market. It was our shared opinion that this would give me the most accurate results for my test.

Here is what Lean Spa claimed on their website:

•    4 Times More Weight Loss Than Diet and Exercise
•    Boosts Energy
•    Rich in Antioxidants
•    Promotes Cardiovascular and Digestive Health

Although we were pretty skeptical, we wanted to find out for ourselves if this product could actually do everything that it claimed. Most of the success stories talk about combining Acai berry with a colon cleansing products to achieve maximum weight loss. The idea behind combining the products is that while the Acai Berry encourages weight loss and increases energy; the Colon Lipo helps rid your body of toxins and allows your body to work and burn calories more efficiently. I chose Colon Lipo to test.

Here is what Colon Lipo claimed on their website:

•    Helps Eliminate Bad Toxins That Have Built Up Over the Years
•    Removes "Sludge"From the Walls of the Colon
•    Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
•    Helps Regulate the Metabolism

The Colon Lipo product like Lean Spa offers a free trial backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Putting the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo to the Test

Both the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online for the free trials.
The bottles I received contained a month worth of highly concentrated pills, which worked out perfectly as I was to follow the supplement routine for 4 weeks time and document my progress.

The Test: A Four-Week Combo Diet Using Lean Spa and Colon Lipo

1.    Take one Lean Spa pill per day (in the morning)
2.    Take one Colon Lipo pill per day (in the evening)

My Results:

Week One:

After one week on the diet using both products I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy level was up, and I wasn't even hungry. A welcomed side effect of the Acai Berry diet is its power to curb the appetite.
I honestly felt fantastic.

Best of all, I didn't even change anything about my daily routine. On Day 7, I got on the scale and couldn't believe my eyes. I had lost 3.5 lbs. But I still wasn't convinced, since they say you lose a lot of water weight at the beginning of any diet. I wanted to wait and see the results in the upcoming weeks. But it sure was looking up! I now weighed less than 120 pounds for the first time in years!

Week Two:

After two weeks of using both supplements, I started the week off with even more energy, and actually sleeping more soundly than before. I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (this is a result of getting rid of the toxins, I think). Plus I still managed to lose another 7 pounds, putting me at an unbelievable 10.5 lbs of weight loss, in just 2 weeks.

I must admit that I am starting to believe that this diet is more than just a gimmick.

Week Three:

After 3 weeks, all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! I am down, 2 full dress sizes after losing another 3.5 pounds. And I still have a ton of energy. Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam. But with the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo diet my energy levels don't dip, instead they remain steady throughout the day. I no longer need that cat nap around 3pm in the afternoon! I am even noticing that my stomach is digesting food so much better. No bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat.

Week Four:

After the fourth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 18 lbs since starting the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo diet! Actually everyone at WestCoastNews is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig. Using the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo in week 4 I lost 4 more pounds. The results are consistent! But to be honest, I really didn't have much more than that left to lose. I am definitely going to continue taking the Lean Spa afterwards because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins that makes my skin look unbelievable.

I couldn't be any happier with the results.

I Lost 18 lbs in 4 Weeks, No Special Diet, No Intense Exercise.

In conclusion, if you are a little doubtful about the effects of this diet, you need to try it for yourself; from our own test, the results are real. We at West Coast News had our doubts initially, but we were quickly turned into believers. After conducting our own study, we are pleased to see that people really are finding success with the diet.

You can reach your weight loss goals with the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo combo diet.

Foods That Help You Lose Weight

11 Foods That Help You Lose Weight

You don't need a starvation diet to help you shed those unwanted pounds. In fact, you have to eat to lose weight. And these slimming, satisfying foods are just the ticket.

You won't lose weight on a diet of celery sticks and dry toast. Your body will just think it's starving and hang onto those extra pounds! Rather, to lose weight effectively and permanently, you need to eat. And eat smart. Happily, there are a host of delicious edibles designed by nature to turn up your fat-burning furnace, flatten your belly, and take a big bite out of your appetite. Here are 11 of the get-slim food gems we're talking about:

Mushrooms

If you want to try an easy & tasty calorie-cutting trick, then substitute the meat in your favorite recipes for mushrooms. You'll automatically cut about 420 calories out of a meal, because you'll skip all the belly-padding saturated fat contained in meat. Recent study found mushrooms just as tasty & filling as meat.

Pistachios
Nuts may be high in fat, but it's the healthful unsaturated kind of fat found in pistachios. And like all nuts, pistachios offer lots of hunger-curbing protein and fiber. All of these qualities together explain why adding pistachios to the diet helped dieters in a study curb their appetites and lose more weight. Here's more on how pistachios and other nuts pull off this feeling-full feat.

Grapefruit
Of all the foods rumored to boost weight loss, grapefruit is likely the most famous. And research confirms that this fruit's get-slim celebrity status is for real. One study in particular revealed that eating half a grapefruit before each meal helped dieters shed more pounds than people who skipped the tart appetizer. Get hip to why most fad diets don't work and can actually be dangerous.

 

Rice with Veggies
Adding some high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and kale to your rice will obviously help lower the calorie count. But not only that. Adding veggies to rice at lunchtime appears to slow stomach emptying, according to research. The end result? You feel full longer. In fact, people in a study ate much less at dinner when they added veggies to their rice at lunch. Here's more on how rice and vegetables work together to keep you full.

Yogurt
Mmmm. This creamy, tangy snack is loaded with calcium -- and studies show that calcium may curtail weight gain by hindering the absorption of fat in the small intestine. Check out these other good eats that are bursting with calcium.

Avocado
This green goddess of heavenly, creamy taste can help you whittle your waist. It's true! Researchers suspect that the unsaturated fat in avocados may ratchet up body levels of the hunger-halting hormone called leptin -- a hormone that lets your brain know that you're full, so you stop eating. Find out what fats make you hungrier and what ones can help curb the munchies.

Eggs
Turn breakfast into a fat-burning morning boost by skipping the stack of pancakes and feasting on a couple of eggs instead. According to a study, huevos beat out carbs when it came to helping folks feel full longer and helping them beat back snack attacks later in the day. Here's how eggs helped folks lose 65% more body weight in a recent study.

Red Pepper
Add some heat to your meals and you'll boost not only the taste but also the effectiveness of your weight loss diet. A dash of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeno or red peppers will do the trick. They all contain capsaicin -- the heat-inducing compound in red peppers that, according to research, tamps down appetite and curbs food intake later in the day. A similar compound in sweet peppers may hinder fat storage, too.

Fava Beans
Creamy and hearty, fava beans are a lean protein source bursting with flavonoids. And in a 14-year study, these special antioxidants were shown to help hinder the accumulation of extra belly fat. Slim your belly and your body with this fat-blasting plan from the YOU Docs.

Whole Grains
Ready to trade your belly bulge for a flat tummy? Then toss your refined grains into the garbage, and eat more whole grains instead. Research shows this one move can help whittle your middle.We're talking brown rice, quinoa, steel-cut oats, whole-grain cereal, and 100% whole-wheat bread and pasta. Discover how whole grains helped flatten the bellies of 3,000 men and women in a recent study.

Olive Oil
This rich-tasting oil found in salad dressings and marinades contains a hunger-busting monounsaturated fat called oleic acid -- which triggers a complicated process in the gut that ultimately tells your brain you're full and makes you want to stop eating. Olive oil also plays a starring role in heart-healthy Mediterranean-style diets.

Healthy Chocolate Dessert Recipe

My NEW Healthy Chocolate Dessert Recipe -- High Protein, Low Sugar, and Full of Chocolately Goodness!

If you've been a subscriber of my Lean-Body Secrets Ezine for some time, you know I'm a nut about chocolate, but I ALWAYS find ways to make healthy versions of chocolate recipes that are low in sugar, higher in fiber, and higher in protein... so you can still enjoy chocolate, but stay lean at the same time! 

My chocolate recipes give you ways to actually NOURISH your body with high nutrient density instead of fattening your body with typical chocolate treats.

In fact, I've become well-known for some of my uniquely healthy chocolate recipes, including my famous healthy chocolate fudge recipe, and my more recent, healthy chocolate pudding recipe.

This new recipe of mine I don't really know what to call, but I guess you could say that it's similar to pudding also, but also similar to a chocolate cheesecake taste!   But instead of typical puddings and cheesecakes loaded with sugar and calories, this recipe is high in protein, has a decent dose of fiber, antioxidants, loads of vitamins, minerals, and more...

PLUS this recipe is lower in carbs and sugar than pretty much any other chocolate desserts out there!

Geary's High-Protein, Low-Sugar Healthy Chocolate Dessert

The quantities here will make about 4-6 servings, so adjust appropriately if you don't want leftovers. To make this healthy chocolate dessert, first mix together in a bowl:

• 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt (choose either the 2% or the full fat -- remember, don't be afraid of fats, as they help balance hormones and provide satiety which lowers appetite overall... Greek yogurt is MUCH higher in protein than normal style yogurt, and also tastes creamier!)
• 1 cup of ricotta cheese (I passed on the fat-free and chose the part skim... I also was able to find ricotta from grass-fed cows at Whole Foods)
• 1 scoop of chocolate protein -- I like to use this grass-fed raw whey protein, and sometimes I mix and match with chocolate hemp protein or this amazing new protein I found recently, Boku Super-Protein (this protein is from sprouted brown rice and has an incredible amount of naturally-occurring calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin A)
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 3 Tbsp raw cocao nibs -- these pieces of 100% pure cocao add tremendous nutrition to the recipe and also a great crunchy chocolate taste (nibs are harder to find than cocoa powder, but can be found at most health food stores or specialty food stores)
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup almond slivers
• 2 Tbsp each of chia seeds and hemp seeds (optional, but adds TONS of nutrition and a nice nutty taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

5 Minutes a Day for Sexy Abs

Slim 'n Sexy At Any Age

5 Minutes a Day for Sexy Abs

It's not too late to get sexy, defined abs this summer. All you need is 5 minutes a day to be on your way to that toned midsection you crave. She even shows you what to do with those 5 minutes!

"I just want sexy abs..." Well you can have them, but it takes a very special workout.

The fastest way to get the stomach of your dreams is by working your ABS six days a week, but -- and this is very key -- you need to be doing something different for your abs every time you work them!

My super-ab workout only takes about 5 minutes a day; in 3 short weeks you'll start seeing definition and hardness you never dreamed of. In 3 months, "Call security!" The guys will be drooling over your tight and toned tummy!

They used to call me the stomach pooch queen. No matter how thin I got, it seemed as if my stomach bulged out... especially that lower "pooch" part But look at me now at 64. The photo at right is me! No touch-up work here, folks. That's me and that's my belly!

What is the secret?

The stomach muscles get used to a workout rather quickly, since they are at the center of your body and are working all day anyway to balance the weight you carry around. They need extreme variety to tone up.

The answer? No matter what you are doing for the rest of your body, do ABS exercises six days a week BUT WITH A DIFFERENT ROUTINE EACH DAY.

Monday you could do giant sets with crunches, leg-raises and knee-ins, with no rests, doing 15 reps of each exercise. Go back and forth until you've done them three times.

Tuesday you could do the bicycle, the knee-raised crunch and the leg raised crunch, repeating it three times, doing 15 repetitions each.

Wednesday you could do two stomach exercises, only this time do them very slowly. In this case it would not matter if ... you repeated some of the exercises above as long as they were in a different order. For example, you could do the knee-in and the crunch -- 15 reps each, going back and forth three times, without resting, but very slowly –- on the count of 1, 2, 3, 4 on the up, and 1, 2, 3, 4 on the down.

Thursday do another group of two exercises. Only this time go faster and do different exercises... and so on. Until you've done six days a week with a different routine each day.

Here is a sample abs workout day.

Do one very slow set for both of them, 10 repetitions each, then without stopping do a much faster set for both of them this time doing 15 repetitions each. This will take you less than 5 minutes!

Side oblique reach.

Start: Lie on the floor with your knees bent and your arms straight at your sides.

Movement: Leaning toward your right extend your fingers toward your ankles -– or until you cannot go any further. Flex your side abdominals and return to start. Repeat for the other side. Do 10-15 reps and repeat for the other side.

Ceiling reach crunch.

Start: Lie flat on your back. Raise your legs to so that they are perpendicular to the floor.

Movement: Raise yourself off the floor using your stomach muscles as you extend your arms forward reaching towards your toes. Flex your entire abdominal area. Return to start. Repeat until you have done 10-15 reps.

If you really want great ABS for the new year, make sure you do abs six days a week and do a different routine each day!

The Benefits of a Weight Loss Dietary Supplement

The benefits of a weight loss dietary supplement in the world of bodybuilding are huge. Bodybuilding, after all, isn't about gaining weight - it's about losing body fat and building lean muscle mass. Therefore, the benefits of a weight loss dietary supplement for bodybuilding should be obvious.

Unfortunately, not all weight loss dietary supplements are created equally. Some are absolute junk. Others are absolutely dangerous over the long term, and only one comes out an absolute winner. That one is called creatine.

There are 'experts' who suggest that creatine does not help one to lose weight. Science has proven them wrong - time and time again - and in most cases, they are touting the benefits of a different weight loss supplement. One must question whether they are experts on bodybuilding or weight loss, or experts on selling products related to weight loss or bodybuilding.

Again, science has proven over and over again that an increase in creatine helps to burn fat, while increasing your ability to gain lean muscle mass - which is exactly what you want when you are trying to sculpt the perfect body.

When you saturate your body with creatine, a proven weight loss dietary supplement among many other beneficial things, something miraculous happens. First, your muscles start to attract water. This makes the muscles bigger - bigger muscles need more energy, but because you haven't increased the size of your organs, such as your stomach, you aren't eating any more than you normally would. When this happens, the muscles start using your stores of body fat for the extra energy that they require. 

With this bit of information, any woman who does not want to bulk up may run screaming from creatine. However, you really shouldn't. While the muscles get bigger - they only get slightly bigger, and if you paid attention, you noticed that they got bigger due to the fact that the cells are filling up with water. You can think of this like water weight, which eventually falls off. The muscles will eventually decrease back to their normal size without continued usage (after you've lost the fat that you wish to lose).

For bodybuilders, however, this could be considered a problem. It isn't though. Unlike a woman who is trying to lose weight - and not trying to bulk up - you are trying to bulk up. When you drench your muscles with creatine, not only are you getting the weight loss dietary supplement benefits of creatine, but you are also enabling your muscles to work harder and longer during your workouts - which means that despite the muscle 'water weight,' you are still actually building muscle.

When it comes to creatine as a weight loss dietary supplement, whether you are trying to build muscle or not makes no difference - everybody wins.

BURN THE FAT Q & A WITH TOM VENUTO

BURN THE FAT Q & A WITH TOM VENUTO
http://www.BurnTheFat.com
http://www.BurnTheFat.Com/innercircle
-----------------------------------------

QUESTION:

Hi Tom, I'm 4 foot 11 and now weigh 46 kg with 22% Body fat. I am doing 4 weight training sessions and 6 cardio sessions/wk.

The cardio usually fasted, on a treadmill doing 4-5 degree incline walking at 6.8km/h for 40 min and 5-10 min cool down. It says for my weight I burn 362 cals. I'm not sure what i burn with weight training, it takes about 40 min to complete.

I have created my food plan for the week and I'm thinking of doing a 30% deficit which brings me to approx 1280 calories daily.

I wanted to change something (reduce calories) because I haven't had any results for 2 weeks now and I don't think I can fit in anymore cardio sessions. I'm also planning to use your carb cycling approach, using
the 3 low/ 1 high day rotation.

My question: Do I need to eat at or above my maintenance calories to make the refeed/high day effective or is ok if I'm about 150 cals short? I find it hard to eat all the food.

The fat is coming off really slow. Reading about other people's body fat loss in your Inner Circle success stories (I'm a member), is inspiring, but also a little discouraging as mine is so slow.

Also, with the bodyfat scales, why is the BF% reading always higher, in my case anyway, compared to the Accumeasure calipers, which i still havent mastered yet?

ANSWER:

One thing to keep in mind is that at 4' 11" and 46 kg, you have fairly low calorie needs.

You may have heard (or, heh, realized), that it's more difficult for women to lose fat than men. Immediately most people think it must be estrogen or hormonal issues. But perhaps the biggest factor is NOT hormones, but the simple fact that women are usually smaller and lighter than men.

When you have a smaller body, you have lower calorie needs. When you have lower calorie needs, your relative deficit (20%, 30% etc) gives you a smaller absolute deficit and therefore you lose fat more slowly than someone who is larger and can create a large deficit more easily.

For example, if my TDEE is 3300 calories a day (Im 5' 8" and moderately to very active), then a 20% deficit is 660 calories, which brings me to 2640 calories a day. On paper, that will give me about 1.3 lbs of wt loss per week, rather painlessly, I might add.

If I bumped my calorie burn up or decreased my intake by another 340 a day, that's enough to give me a 2 lbs per week wt loss.

That's hardly a starvation diet (Ahhh the joys of being a man). For smaller women, the math equation is very different.

If your total daily energy expenditure is only 1970 calories, even at a VERY high exercise level, then a 20% deficit for you is only 394 calories which would put you at 1576 calories a day for (on paper) only 8/10th of a lb of fat loss/wk.

If you pursued your plan to take a more aggressive calorie deficit of 30%, that puts you at a 591 calorie deficit which would now drop you down to only 1382 calories/day.

That's starting to get fairly low in calories. However, you would still have a fairly small calorie deficit. In fact, I
I would get to eat almost twice as many calories as you and I'd still get almost twice the weekly rate of fat loss!

What this all means is that women who are petite or have a small body size are going to lose fat more slowly than larger women and much more slowly than men, so you cannot compare yourself to them.

It's great to be inspired by our success stories, but if you're looking for someone to model yourself after, choose one of our success stories of someone your body size and wt, rather than the folks who started 100 lbs overweight and were therefore easily dropping 3 lbs a week.

ONE POUND a week of fat loss is much more in line with a realistic goal for someone your body size. Overweight people can lose it faster. You are already 22% body fat at only 46 kg. (so look on the bright side - you are NOT overweight - you are simply working on getting even leaner than you already are).

The numbers of your plan look to be in the ballpark and your strategy makes sense. You simply need to be extremely consistent with your nutrition over time.

Suggestion #1: Weigh and measure all your food any time you feel you are stuck at a plateau, just to be sure. When your calorie expenditure is on the low side, you don't have much margin for error.

Suggestion #2:  Take your body comp measurements with a grain of salt, esp if you are using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) scales (they are a bit wonky) and remember that body comp testing is seldom perfect. Pay attention to your circumference measurements, how your clothes fit and how you look in the mirror and in photos as well.

Suggestion #3: You might actually want to take fewer refeeds -once a week instead of every 4th day, or even just once every 10-14 days, so you can get a larger weekly deficit. To answer your question, yes it is ok if your 150 cals short on high carb days if you are full (be happy that you are full - many people have to deal with constant hunger when the calories get low)

Suggestion #4: You may want to take 2 or 3 of your long cardios on the treadmill and switch them to intense intervals or ANY other type of activity that has potential to burn more than 362 calories for an hour's investment of time, or perhaps that equivalent calorie burn in less time. No need to add more days of cardio or more time - get the most out of the time you are already spending.

Suggestion #5: If you do intervals, don't make the workout too brief (ignore the advertisements for those "4 minute miracle" workouts, etc etc), or you may burn fewer calories than you were before! In fact, you might even try the method where you do HIIT for 15-20 min, then continue for another 30-40 at slow to medium
intensity. Increasing total calories burned should be your focus

Dropping only ONE pound per week (or less) may seem excruciatingly slow, but it's actually the same type of thing I do. As a bodybuilder, I go from lean to extremely lean when I diet and I don't expect more than a pound a week during contest cuts.

You are in a similar situation, even if not competing. Even if you get a half a pound a week fat loss, if you get that progress every week, that's what you're looking for - steady progress - even if slow.

It's entirely possible that you HAVE been making progress, only very slowly. With the way water weight and glycogen levels can fluctuate (and lean mass may increase), a half a pound or pound fat loss in a week could have been easily masked...and therefore, missed. That's one of the drawbacks of going by the scale alone.

Understand the calorie math I explained above and be patient, watching for slow and steady progress, paying special attention to the trend over time on your progress chart.

Keep after it - the persistence will pay, I promise!

Train hard and expect success,

14 STEPS TO FAT LOSS - A Special Report

So many professionals say it, even I do, fat loss is about one thing, energy. Burn more of it than you have and BAM… fat loss. If only it were really that simple. If only those few simple words took into account everything it takes to actually lose fat. The mental aspect of fat loss is beyond complicated, and this is not a psychology 101 class. What I am presenting to you is the 14 steps everyone, no matter what level of knowledge or training they have, should take before they attempt fat loss. Meaning, this isn’t going to tell you how to physically lose fat, it doesn’t even tell you how to mentally lose fat. No, I can’t help you with desire and motivation. This is the foolproof method of the steps you need to start the journey into fat loss. You follow these 14 steps, and I promise you by the end you will achieve fat loss on a level like never before, no matter how advanced you think you are. 

Step 1: Acceptance 

This is without a doubt the most important step. I know what you are thinking “um yeah I know okay, I am fat, what more do you want from me?!” No, don’t just accept that you are overweight, accept that it’s your doing that you are overweight. See we like to blame our excess weight on things like depression, work, being busy, getting comfortable in life, etc. The truth is at all times you are aware of what, how much, and when you are eating. So unless you have been living under a rock, (sorry family in phone commercial) then you know that food is part of what contributes to weight gain. In fact, unless you have a medical condition, it is the only contribution to weight gain. Accepting that the fate of your body lies in what you eat is the first and most important step you can take in your fat loss journey. 

Step 2: Voice Change 

Now that you have accepted that you are responsible for what you have done and are still doing, its time to admit the need for change. This isn’t about actual change, this is about voicing that the change is going to occur. The instant you accept that you are ready for change you have to voice it in some shape or form. Write it down, youtube it, whatever, but open up the world to it, swallow your pride and make your need of change known. 

Step 3: Plan Action 

This is just like before, this isn’t time for action, this is time to plan it. If you jump in right now where is that going to get you? You need to get a plan together on how to put this change into effect. Skipping this step alone is where most people go wrong. They accept and voice they have a problem and then they just jump into trying to fix it without really planning the next step. If you really want to change, you need to plan how it is going to come about. How are you going to go from one step to the next with out coordinating the steps to make? 

The next few steps revolve around education, how are you going to get that education? Computer, teacher, or what about a trainer? If you decide you want to join a gym, plan on how to find the best gym, what questions to ask, and feel out if you are comfortable with the workers there. Don’t ever go into any step blindly, always have a plan. 

Step 4: Learn nutrition 

Remember how we discussed that food is what ultimately makes you lose or gain weight? How much do you know about what you eat? Do you know if the last meal you had was made up of more fat, protein, or carbs? What about how much you need to eat for your body, and your activity level? Nutrition is 80% of the battle in fat loss, learn it and you will conquer a big chunk of the battle. A great way to do that is to pick the right materials to learn from. I wrote an “easy to follow” guide that teaches you the basics called “The Fat Loss Troubleshoot”. It not only gives you the nutrition information that you need to know but also gives links to even more sources. 

Step 5: Learn Training 

The average person’s idea of a workout is a sad thing. This isn’t entirely their fault. The media in all sources perpetuate myths about training left and right. While losing fat is about energy, (and diet is key) understand that training makes things go smoother and faster. This isn’t about being a cardio bunny or about grabbing magazine/book to read while working out on a machine, and I can 100% say that the “Glute Master” should NOT be in your program. I can say what should be in your program are full body movements, aggressive aerobic training, and most importantly progression with every workout. The more you learn about training, the fewer mistakes you are likely to make, meaning better results and less chance of injury. 

Step 6: Learn Everything Else 

There is more to nutrition than just understanding what you should and shouldn’t be eating. You need to know HOW to cook the food you are eating too. Learn everything you can and make your new goal engulf you life. Learn about cooking, the shoes you need to buy, and the different equipment you can use. Research the people you are getting your “facts” from. Investigate everything! Take nothing as gospel in fitness after reading just one study, or person’s point of view. When you have a question, take the time to find the answer. LEARN and when you are done with that, learn some more. 

Step 7: Plan Your Days 

Before you start to plan food and working out, you need to plan your actual days out. You know the drill, start on MONDAY! If you didn’t know Monday’s hold secret keys to the universe in form of psychological and physical change…not really but you can think that if you want. It doesn’t matter when you start, just commit to actually doing it. First you need to plan out the things in your life that you can’t change. Then you can open up other slots for negotiations. For example, you can’t help or change when you have to work, but you can set up your TIVO to record the new episode of “Lost”. If you know you need at least an hour to relax before bed, take that time to watch the show, instead of trying to fit in a workout. Planning has become a lost art, you should become a master of it. 

Step 8: Plan Your Workouts 

After you have figured out where you have breathing room, it is time to throw your workout in. There is not one magical time of the day that is best to work out. You figure out what works best for you. If you like to get it done and don’t want to think about it for the rest of the day then maybe a morning workout is for you. If you want to take the stresses of your job out on the treadmill then the 5:30 rush maybe your style. If you hate a crowd and hate mornings then perhaps you are a pre-bed lifter. All have pros and cons, don’t let that guide you, just go with what pops out at you and plan it. My schedule can be kind of crazy, I have to take what I can get. My days can be morning one day, evening another, or a quick lunch workout break. If I plan well, I can always fit in my workout. I MAKE TIME for it so it gets done. 

Step 9: Plan Your Meals 

If a client tells me they didn’t have a choice in what they had to eat, I say “No, you didn’t have a plan.” Always have a meal plan, always have a back up, never give yourself the excuse of having to grab something. If you end up in that position it is because you are not committed and don’t care to make a real change, simple as that. Now don’t get mad, you can plan the fun cheats to eat along with the good foods! When you plan the naughty foods you don’t end up eating a stale peanut butter cracker and thinking “great, I just blew my diet for that!” With the right planning you can set up your program with treats thrown in between all that solid nutrition you are going to be having. It doesn’t just stop there either. Plan your cooking and your meals step by step. Leave no stone unturned in your nutrition program so you can know exactly what you are taking into your body. Never guess and never settle, because your body deserves better than that. Once you do this, all of a sudden you realize you are on autopilot and it won't seem so hard anymore. 

Step 10: Pick a Weekly Weakness 

This one is really important because everything in fat loss is about progress. Progress in your workouts, nutrition, and in actual fat loss is all important. Inside every fat loss trainee is a mound of skills balanced out with a mound of weakness. Every week you take it upon yourself to pick out one of those weaknesses and attack it head on. For example, maybe your workout program is great and your nutrients are all set up and you are getting what you need but your food tastes like crap because you can’t cook. ATTACK that weakness. Have the week devoted to learning how to cook. If a week isn't enough do it for two or three weeks, just attack that weakness until it becomes strength. When that is done you move on to the next one until you are a pillar of strength, and the only thing weak in you is your selection of needed improvement. 

Step 11: Purge 

Get rid of your old life in every way. Don’t hang on to food because it would be a waste and it needs to be eaten. That kind of thinking just makes you put off really starting the program. The world is going to surround you with constant temptation, so you need to have your home be your safe ground. If it isn't in your home, you can't eat it! While you are at it, don’t keep big baggy clothes that you feel comfortable in. You aren’t going to be using them anymore so chuck it. Remember you can’t return to something that isn’t there. 

Step 12: Go Shopping 

So you have got the plan for what you need to workout, and you have the foods you are going to eat written down. But then you realize you need a brand new notebook to keep track of your progress. Yes it is time to go shopping! Truly the most fun part of getting into shape is buying all the goods that go along with it. Workout gear, cooking supplies, food to replace what you have purged, notepads, software, whatever… just go buy it and have the best time doing it because you are starting your new journey. Some people run into a problem spending money on themselves, to that I say remember this is your body, you only have one. 

Step 13: Set Up Support 

You have got everything together now, but one of the most important aspects to keeping it up, accountability. Be it your husband, kids, friends, strangers, or a message board just make sure you have not only a shoulder to lean on, but also someone to keep you accountable. Sometimes we give up on ourselves; even the strongest of people just aren’t enough for themselves. So prepare yourself for that, have a core of people that you don’t want to disappoint. Let’s face it, as much as it may be hard to believe sometimes the average person really cares about what others think. We really care if we let someone down. If you have that kind of guilt and burden then great, use it! Turn it into something positive for yourself and set up a system of support that gives you a hug when you want one and a kick in the rear when you need one. 

Step 14: Start Your Engines 


It’s time! You are all ready to go. You have nothing holding you back now. Your workout plans are set up, your meals are all laid out, and you even sprung for that special Tupperware and cooler so that you are never left without a choice. Now it is time to apply it. It is going to be weird at first, change always does. Hey but you have been prepping for this change so long. You have been doing this for days now and look at all you have gotten done! Seems a little silly to turn back now doesn’t it? You have no clothes; you have all this healthy food, new cook books, a gym membership, workout gear, even on of those ipods. You practically took a study course on nutrition and can design your own training program. Now all you have to do is take eh about 40 mins at most a day and apply the workout. Maybe another 20-30 minutes. to heat up your meals because you set aside a bulk cooking day on Sunday that covered half of your meals for the week. You are all set to go, all you have to do is put it in action. Somehow, someway you woke up and you weren’t just trying to lose fat anymore, you woke up and found you. 

Selecting a Weight Loss Program

Before You Sign Up For Any Weight Loss Program

Some people lose weight on their own; others like the support of a structured program. Overweight people who are successful at losing weight, and keeping it off, can reduce their risk factors for heart disease. If you decide to join any kind of weight control program, here are some questions to ask before you join.

* Does the program provide counseling to help you change your eating activity, and personal habits?

The program should teach you how to change permanently those eating habits and lifestyle factors, such as lack of physical activity that have contributed to weight gain.

* Is the staff made up of a variety of qualified counselors and health professionals such as nutritionists, registered dietitians, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and exercise physiologists?

You need to be evaluated by a physician if you have any health problems, are currently taking any medicine, or plan on taking any medicine, or plan to lose more than 15 to 20 pounds. If your weight control plan uses a very low-calorie diet (a special liquid formula that replaces all food for 1 to 4 months), an exam and follow up visits by a doctor are also needed.

* Is training available on how to deal with times when you may feel stressed and slip back to old habits?

The program should provide long-term strategies to deal with weight problems you may have in the future. These strategies might include things like setting up a support system and establishing a physical activity routine.

* Is attention paid to keeping the weight off? How long is this phase?

Choose a program that teaches skills and techniques to make permanent changes in eating habits and levels of physical activity to prevent weight gain.

* Are food choices flexible and suitable? Are weight goals set by the client and the health professional?

The program should consider your food likes and dislikes and your lifestyle when your weight loss goals are planned.

There are other questions you can ask about how well a program works. Because many programs don't gather this information, you may not get answers. But it's still important to ask them:

Top Fast Secrets

- It has been observed that people watching TV while having their lunch or any meal gain fat more than those who don’t do this. Studies have shown that we automatically eat more than usual when we eat in front of the TV, and especially those foods that are high in sugar and fat, that means excess calories! So please always shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks.

- Try to make your habit of cooking meals around whole grains, beans and vegetables. Eat one meatless lunch and dinner each week to reduce fat, increase fiber.

- Keep track of everything you eat and drink. No need to estimate calories – just write down the type of food or beverage and the amount.

- Limit the sugar treats to three times per week maximum.

-Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

- Reduce the level of fat content in the milk you use. For example, if you currently use two percent, use only one percent. If you insist on whole milk, try two percent. Its better if you start using skim milk.

- Drink water, Instead of fruit juice for breakfast or snack,. Add a slice of lime or lemon for zest.

- Include vegetables with lunch and dinner (two servings), in a total of at least four servings per day

- Don’t forget to include one to two servings of foods made from whole grains with every meal.

- Choose only calorie-free beverages (except for milk) Sodas are loaded with empty calories, and fruit juices contains less vitamins and fibers per calorie than the fruit they’re made from.

- Plan ahead for meals and snacks so you know exactly what you plan to eat. Last-minute choice tends to be higher in calories and lower in satisfaction.

- Reduce fat intake to half, that means half as much butter on your muffin toast, vegetables and or margarine, half the mayonnaise on your sandwich, and half the oil in the pan when you sauté foods. You get the idea!

- Choose whatever type of fruit is in season but try to eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day.

What This Blog Can Do for You

This Blog not only gives you tools to help you to evaluate how over fat you are and what diseases you are at risk for, it gives you a strategic plan to take off the excess fat and keep it off. Here is some of the important fat loss information you will receive from this blog.

1. Changing a relationship with food is not like changing a relationship to drug addiction. I can’t tell a person who is morbidly obese, “You’ll never be able to eat again for the rest of your life.” That’s impossible. But in this blog I can teach you to transform food from an enemy into an ally by explaining how it works in the body. The food program in The Fat-Burning Bible is not only delicious but will never leave you hungry.

2. People often ask me, “Is all fat bad?” No, it is not. Everyone has to have a certain amount of body fat to survive. But there are healthy and unhealthy body fat percentages. Most important, there are healthy and unhealthy ways for fat to be distributed in the body. A normal man carries his fat above the waist. A normal woman carries hers in the hips and buttocks area. When your fat crosses the line and your body begins to take on the fat pattern of the opposite gender, then you have developed a potentially dangerous configuration known as a reverse fat pattern. This blog shows you how to identify that pattern and how to eat in a way that will help burn fat and normalize where you carry your fat weight.

3. Studies have shown that women burn more fat at low to moderate levels of exercise intensity and men at moderate to high levels of exercise intensity. The exercise program in this blog is designed to capitalize on these findings to help you boost your metabolism and achieve maximum fat loss for the time invested. During the basic four-week Fat-Burning Metabolic Fitness Exercise Plan, you will be performing 300 minutes of specially designed exercise per week, six days a week. If you wish to capitalize on your new found metabolic efficiency and fat-burning capacity and lose even more weight, I offer you two more four-week programs that decrease in time but increase in intensity. In the second month, you will only need to exercise for 260 minutes per week, five days per week, and by the third month you will only need 200 minutes four days a week. My maintenance program, which is 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, will keep you slim for life.

4. If you faithfully follow the Metabolic Fitness Plan, in as little as four weeks you will see a dramatic improvement in your overall appearance. You will lose an average of 14 to 16 pounds of scale weight in one month. For each pound lost, you should lose an average of three-quarters of an inch in your total body measurements. You will drop 0.75 percent of body fat/week. (If you continue into the third month, you will lose 1.5 percent body fat/week.) If you are a woman, you will drop two to three dress sizes in one month. If you are a man, you will see 2 to 4 inches disappear from your waistline.

5. If you choose to go to your doctor and get a lipid profile, you will most likely see an improvement in your total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides, and glucose. While heredity plays a part in the lipid profile—for example, high cholesterol runs in some families—studies have shown that people can control approximately 70 percent of hereditary factors through lifestyle.

6. If you suffer from imbalances in your levels of human growth hormone, thyroid, testosterone, and estrogen, you will see dramatic improvement in your hormonal profile in as little as four weeks.

7. Fifty percent of our children are obese or overweight and a significant number of kids are already experiencing major health problems such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, deformities of the hips and knees, asthma, premature puberty, increased triglycerides, high cholesterol, and decreased levels of HDL. When an airplane is in trouble, parents are told to put on their oxygen mask so that they can help their children.

The only way that we are going to save our kids is to put on the mask—to take responsibility for developing healthy nutritional and exercise patterns ourselves. This blog will give you powerful strategies to deal with fat accumulation as you age. As fat-related health problems spiral out of control in our society, the knowledge I am offering you here can literally save your life. If you are just beginning to put on fat, it can reverse this dangerous trend and keep you from succumbing to diseases prematurely in your thirties and forties.
