Answer: Combine both weight training AND cardio in the same session.

Ok, there is really a lot more to it then just combining weight training and cardio together. But it all comes down to your type III muscle fiber and what’s so amazing about it is, it behaves like a cross between Type I and Type II muscle fibers.

It’s stronger, more powerful, and more resistant to fatigue than the others types of Muscle fibers.

The amazing thing about this Type III muscle fiber is that it has the capacity to grow larger and leaner while simultaneously burning fat!

This is muscle that has been reconfigured by adding mitochondrial density, which results in a bigger, stronger muscle with more endurance capacity, capable of sustaining strength for extended periods of time.

Mitochondria are your cells’ powerhouses. They take in nutrients, break them down and create energy in the process.

The more mitochondria there are in the muscle cells, the greater the energy capacity, which fuels both strength and endurance.

So by adding mitochondria your muscles are able to grow larger and are able to resist getting tired for longer periods.

This in turn allows you to gain muscle fast, real fast.

Are cardio workouts or weight training more effective for losing fat?

What if you skipped the Cardio, would you get FAT?

by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

I have an intriguing discussion about cardio workouts, which will hopefully get you thinking differently, and trying new things.

You may know I’ve been called the anti-cardio guy before, but this week I’m back posing the question to you, Do you really need cardio training to get lean and in great shape? By the way, you’ll see in a minute that I’m not really “anti-cardio”, just “anti traditional cardio”.

Most fitness buffs, weekend warriors, or anyone trying to get in shape or lose body fat, consider it a fact that they need “cardio” exercise to accomplish these goals. They would never even question it.

However, I’m not only questioning it, I’m going to refute it! In fact, you may be surprised to know that some of the leanest and meanest people I know (men and women), NEVER do any type of normal or traditional cardio.

And I’ve spent over 15 years working out in various gyms, and hanging out with athletes of all sorts, so I’ve seen it all.

I will say that there can be a place for low-moderate level cardio for really overweight or deconditioned people, but even in those cases, there can be more effective methods.

What exactly is a “cardio workout”?

Most people would consider cardio to be pumping away mindlessly on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike, or coasting on an elliptical machine, while watching the TV screen at their state of the art gym. This is what I call “traditional cardio”. Hmmm, no wonder the majority of people get bored with their workouts and give up after a couple months without seeing results.

But if you look closer, “cardio” exercise can be considered any type of exercise or activity that strengthens the cardiovascular system.

I’m not going to get into anything technical like increasing your VO2 max or anything like that.

To keep it simple, if it gets your heart pumpin, and gets you huffin and puffin, it’s cardio.

I don’t care if you’re holding dumbbells or a barbell and everyone calls it a weight training exercise…it’s still conditioning your heart.

Let’s take a look at a couple examples.

Take a barbell (or dumbbell, or kettlebell) clean & press for example, which involves lifting a barbell from the floor up to shoulders, then push pressing overhead.

And listen up ladies, because even though this is usually seen as a manly exercise, it doesn’t matter if you’re not lifting 250 lbs; if 45 lbs is challenging to you, then you will still benefit just as much.

At first glance, most people think of the barbell C & P only as a weight training exercise or strength exercise. However, I challenge you to do a hard set of around 10-15 reps on the C & P. If you used a challenging enough weight, what you’ll find is that your heart rate is probably up to about 80-90% of your recommended max, and you are huffing and puffing like you just ran a 100-meter sprint (which by the way, sprinting kicks the crap out of jogging any day if you want the easiest way to lose the flab).

Try the same thing for a set of 20 reps of one-arm snatches or swings with each arm with a kettlebell or dumbbell, and tell me your legs aren’t burning, heart racing, and you’re gasping for breath. How about trying 5 minutes straight of bodyweight squats, lunges, and pushups with very little rest.

Again, notice your heart pounding, sweat pouring off of you, and chest heaving for breaths!

Try and tell me you’re not conditioning your heart with this style of training! Conventional thinking says that these are weight training or strength training exercises.

However, they are fulfilling your cardio workout needs as well (saving you time!).

Not only do you save time, but you strengthen and condition almost every muscle in your entire body with these full body exercises if you do them with enough intensity, something that can’t be said for that boring stationary bike ride or treadmill jaunt while reading or watching TV.

Reading or watching TV while your doing your cardio workout is a joke!

Seriously, if you can read or watch TV while doing any exercise, you’re not concentrating enough on what you’re doing, plus you’re probably not working out hard enough to see any real results.

I challenge you to give the “traditional cardio workout” a rest for a month or two, and start training the way I explain in my internationally-selling Book (link below), and see how you start getting leaner, more defined, and your six pack starting to show through what used to be stubborn stomach fat deposits.

Will Focusing on Both Consistency AND Variability in Your Workouts produce the Best Results and prevent you from hitting a Training Plateau?

While changing your training variables is an integral part of the success of your training program, your workouts shouldn’t be drastically different every single time.

Why?

Because if you are all over the place on each workout and never try to repeat and improve on specific exercises for specific set and rep schemes with specific rest intervals, then your body has no basis to improve on its current condition.

The best way to structure your workouts to get the best results is to be consistent and try to continually improve on a specific training method for a specific time period.

A time period of 4 to 8 weeks usually works best as your body will adapt to the specific training method and progress will slow after this amount of time.

At this point, it is time to change around some of your training variables and then stay consistent with your new training program for another 4 to 8 weeks.

14 Ab Workout Training Tips:

1. the numbers of sets and reps of exercises
2. the order of exercises (sequence)
3. exercise grouping (super-setting, circuit training, tri-sets, etc.)
4. exercise type (multi-joint or single joint, free-weight or machine based)
5. the number of exercises per workout
6. the amount of resistance
7. the time under tension during each exercise
8. the base of stability (standing, seated, on stability ball, one-legged, etc.)
9. the volume of work (sets x reps x distance moved)
10. rest periods between sets
11. repetition speed
12. range of motion
13. exercise angle (inclined, flat, declined, bent over, upright, etc)
14. training duration per workout, training frequency per week, etc.

For example, let’s say you are training with a program where you are doing 10 sets of 3 reps for 6 different exercises grouped together in pairs (done as supersets) with 30 seconds rest between each superset and no rest between the 2 exercises within the superset.

If you are smart, I’m sure you are tracking your progress with a notepad (weights used, sets, and reps) to see how you are progressing over time.

Let’s say that after about 6 weeks, you find that you are no longer improving with that program. Well, now it is time to change up your variables, and start a new program.

This time you choose a classic 5 sets of 5 reps routine, but you group your exercises in tri-sets (three exercises performed back to back to back, and then repeated for the number of sets).

This time you decide to perform the exercises in the tri-set with no rest between them, and then recover for 2 minutes in between each tri-set to fully recoup your strength levels.

There you have it, a couple examples of how to incorporate both consistency and variability into your training programs to maximize your results.

If you really want to take the guess work out of all of this?

Excess abdominal fat is more DEADLY than you think. Most people simply don’t realize how dangerous their excess abdominal fat really is to their health.

The Hidden Dangers of Your Excess Abdominal Fat – It’s More Serious Than a Vanity Issue!

by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body.

However, what most people don’t realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research has clearly demonstrated that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.

There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.

The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that “beer belly” appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.

Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk factors, but science has shown that having excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly increase the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.

Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your body on a consistent basis.

If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There’s just no way around it. Besides, a side-effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.

So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for “miracle” fat loss products?

The first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal fat either. You can’t spot reduce your stomach fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn’t work that way.

The ONLY solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.

I’ve actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.

Now the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this everyday at the gym.

Most people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where they went wrong.

Well, the good news is that I’ve spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it “in the trenches” with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.

The entire solution… all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program.
Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.

If you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork… it is a proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner of the globe that actually apply the information I teach. If you apply it, the results will come. It’s really that simple.

The only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.

I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS.

Don’t waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to kill your confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.

No more procrastinating. No more excuses!

If you are lazy, this is NOT for you…

If you are un-motivated, please leave…

If you are foolish and think that a pill is actually going to “Melt” off your belly fat, then go waste some more money on bogus “fat burner” pills.

But if you’re ready to try something totally different that actually WORKS to burn off stubborn body fat in a smart, healthy way — and permanently, then read below.

I’m going to show you several reasons why you have struggled to lose that stubborn belly fat. There IS a solution that will help you finally beat this struggle and get the lean body and flat stomach that you want.

Your Grocery Store Mistakes are Making You Store More Belly Fat!

Inside the program below you’ll see the truth about why the food marketing industry is fooling you into buying the wrong products at the grocery store every week and making you pack on even more belly fat despite your efforts to get leaner.

I bet you thought soy was healthy… think again! What about so-called “whole grain” products… think again!

You’ll discover the hidden demons in over a dozen typical foods that you’ve been forced by their clever marketing to believe are “healthy”, but are really “belly fat fertilizer” in disguise!

You’ve Been Misled to do All of the Wrong Exercises

You’ll also see the truth about why many so called “fitness experts” are having you do almost all of the WRONG exercises. If you really want to rid yourself of that ugly belly fat for good and get firm flat abs, you need to be focusing on an entirely different realm of workout techniques… and this does NOT involve hours of boring cardio every week!

In just a couple minutes, you can download and discover my entire system and learn what you’ve been doing wrong all of this time.

After most of my readers make these simple changes to their routines, they start seeing some of that nasty stomach fat slowly melting off after just a couple short weeks.

Instead of the normal $39.95 price of the Truth About Six Pack Abs Program, I’m willing to let you download and test out the entire system for only $4.95 for a 21-day Trial period. You’ll see below what I have in store for you!

That’s less than you’d pay for some greasy lunch at your corner store. Why not do something that will improve your body instead!

You can then see for yourself exactly why this WILL work for you and if you decide that it isn’t working for you, you can simply cancel the Trial.

Try These Techniques and THEN Decide

Since I’m doing you a favor and letting you try out this system for the 21-day $4.95 Trial Offer, please do me a favor and promise me that you will actually take action on the techniques I’ll show you inside the program!

You won’t just get a portion of the system like some other companies will fool you into for a “trial” offer. With this trial offer, you get access to the entire fat-burning, ab-sculpting nutrition and training system.

That means, you have absolutely nothing to lose (except that stubborn stomach fat), and in just a few minutes, you’ll gain access to this unique system and see why it is WAY different than any other ab training or fat loss gimmicky products that are “out there” these days.

I had been talking about this program for MONTHS, saying “I’ll get it next pay…next pay…next pay…” Finally a friend of mine got sick of my procrastination and just bought it for me as a gift.

I began the program on the 5th of February (about a month after my Dec 25th pic). Its now 18th July and Im still going strong. So I thought I would send in my results so far.

The Program is FREAKIN BRILLIANT!!!

Before I started your program, I was running regularly and working out sometimes, but I was still getting fatter…. and fatter. I didn’t really notice it until my friend took a photo of me at the beach. I was horrified!!!! I knew I had to do something about it, but I couldn’t move the fat.

Everything changed when I started your truth about abs program. In the 6 months I’ve been on the program, I’ve lost 25.4 kg and gone from 30% body fat down to 11% body fat.

The truth is… Depending on how much abdominal fat that you have to lose, I can’t guarantee that you’ll have perfectly lean 6-pack abs in 60 days… for example, if you have a large amount of stomach fat to lose, it might realistically take longer than 60 days.

However, what I CAN guarantee is that if you apply these techniques you will definitely lose significant stomach fat and/or get closer to a visible six pack abs appearance (if that’s your goal).

Alright, I want to take any doubts or indecision you might have at this point, out of your head. Seriously, if you don’t take action, you will NEVER improve your body… You’ll simply continue to struggle for years more with that extra belly fat and flabby abs.

You’ll just keep procrastinating and making up lame excuses as to why you’re “gonna wait until next week” to start working out and eating right. PLEASE!

Why not make the decision TODAY to finally learn an exact proven method of success to eat, train, and THINK that will actually allow you to enjoy life, while simultaneously stripping away your stubborn stomach fat for those flat lean abs that everybody wants, but so few have figured out how to get!

The Program that Promises Fat Loss along with an incredible amount of Health and Vitality.

The Diet Solution Program promises a complete and comprehensive weight loss program that will not only help you lose body fat, but guarantees you increased energy, health and vitality all at the same time.

With so many weight loss programs out on the market and on the internet today, what makes this program any different than all the rest?

Before we get to the program, let’s take a look at the expert behind this program. Isabel De Los Rios is a nutrition and exercise specialist with 10 years of experience helping clients reach their ideal weight and tackle conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol. Isabel has a very extensive educational background in nutrition and exercise physiology. Her personal experience with her own weight struggles and her mother’s severe diabetes led her search for the BEST nutrition information available today. The Diet Solution Program is a result of her 15 year study and research.

I’ve also talked to Isabel about her training and education background, and I’ll be honest, it was impressive, unlike other so-called “health experts”, who are just following main stream nutrition programs. Isabel provides her readers with the truth: the facts most people have never taken the time to research, read and decipher.

Plus, Isabel has been a nutrition and exercise specialist for the past 10 years and has personally worked with hundreds of clients in her own private facility, overseeing successful weight loss programs. This hands on experience with real people solidified the facts and principles she had learned in books, journals and from other health professionals. The proof was really in the results of real people.

In fact, Isabel’s articles are pretty radical when it comes to her nutrition principles which is why her approach works when main-stream nutrition fails. So if you are looking for the same old nutrition theories taught in every other book and program on the market today, this is not the program for you.

Now one of the biggest questions about the program is simply, “What is The Diet Solution Program?” Well according to Isabel, it is the most comprehensive and detailed nutrition manual available on the market today. Not only does it teach you exactly what principles you need to follow to finally reach your ideal weight, it gives you the meal plans, shopping lists and recipes to do so. It does not push some extreme, unreasonable way to lose weight. It actually teaches you how you can make this healthy way of eating into a lifestyle. And if you have ever attempted to lose weight in the past, you know that the only way to maintain it is to make it a way of life. The best part about Isabel’s program is that this new way of life is not some torturous eating regimen. She really shows you that you can eat delicious food, combined the right way, to lose weight and maintain it.

One of the best side effects of the whole program is the increased health and vitality that every participant experiences. Decreases in blood sugar levels, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, elimination of digestive discomfort and cleared skin conditions are just some of the few benefits other people have already experienced.

Now realize that some effort from you will be required, but Isabel has really done all the hard work for you. Included in her program is:

• Step by step action steps telling you exactly how to put the principles in place
• Detailed daily meal plans that make everyday eating easy
• Shopping Lists to make food shopping a snap
• Delicious Recipes to make everyday meals tasty

The manual is comprehensive. Jam packed with incredible and valuable information. But you don’t need to wait to get through the whole thing before you can start. You can use Isabel’s Quick Start Guide to start the program ASAP. Some people have even just used the quick start guide and lost 10-15lbs in a little as 6 weeks.

The Diet Solution Program is not just another weight loss scheme or extreme diet. It is truly the only way to lose weight and enjoy a lifetime of health. The Diet Solution Program is perfect for people who have struggled with their weight their whole life and are sick and tired of programs that just don’t work long term. The DSP is also perfect for people who want to take control of their health and reverse health conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease.

If you’re in the slightest bit curious, I recommend you look closely at Isabel’s program. I was very impressed with all of The Diet Solution Program meal plans, the bonuses, the guarantee, and Isabel’s expertise. For the money, it’s the best deal in the weight loss industry – so much better than diet pills! And remember…

Isabel De Los Rios’s The Diet Solution Program is backed by a 90 day money back guarantee. And this is a real guarantee… if you are not completely satisfied, you will receive your money back, no “ifs,” “ands,” or “buts.” So you really have nothing to lose.

Q: Isabel, tell us a little a bit about yourself, and what you do.

A: I am a NJ based Holistic Nutritionist and Exercise Specialist. I have a private practice in NJ and when I’m not seeing clients in my office I am writing books, newsletters, articles or speaking on the principles of healthy nutrition for weight loss and disease prevention. Basically, doing my best to communicate what true health is to the world.

Q: Isabel, I just finished your ebook, The Diet Solution, and get the sense of an interesting and diverse background. Can you tell a bit about yourself?

A: The Diet Solution Program is really a culmination of my search for answers to my own weight loss and health problems. I can remember going on my first “diet” in the 7th grade. You name the diet and I tried it. Not until I found the true answers to weight loss and how to keep it off was I able to finally reach my own ideal weight and level of health that I enjoy today.

It was also my mother’s and my grandmother’s struggle with obesity and type 2 Diabetes that led me to research how blood sugar affects our ability to lose and gain fat. As I studied Diabetes more and more, I found that the same principles that could be used to control a diabetic’s blood sugar were the same principles that all people needed to use to lose fat and keep it off. Once I figured this out, I was almost amazed at how easy the answer was the whole time and couldn’t believe all of the past unhealthy plans I had attempted with no success.

Q: How did you happen to get into the Nutrition industry? What were the deciding factors?

A: As I continued to work on my own health and weight struggles, I became fascinated by the human body. I was truly amazed by the discoveries I had made in regards to weight loss and blood sugar control and could not believe that this information wasn’t main stream. Even worse, I could not believe that doctors and food companies were actually recommending the exact opposite of the information that I had discovered to be the only way to lose weight. This led me to be as passionate as I am now about communicating this exact information to the world.

Q: What was your inspiration for The Diet Solution? Did you follow some other diet or fitness guru’s before your own ideas developed?

A: Writing the Diet Solution Program was inspired by seeing hundreds of clients in my private nutrition practice in New Jersey. All of the nutrition principles that I would teach my clients was a combination of several books, classes and seminars that I had read or attended and grabbed the best principles taught in each. I knew there had to be a way to put all of this great information together in an easy to read, easy to follow program. Don’t get me wrong. Actually putting the information together and laying it out in a way that would be easy to understand by all people was not an easy chore. But once it was complete, it really was a culmination of 15 years of research and study.

Q: Getting into the diet and nutrition industry can have a ton of positive benefits – has there been a downside at all?

A: No, I wouldn’t call it a downside. But I will say that I do encounter a lot of resistance to my not very mainstream ideas. I tell people “If you have been following the same nutrition and diet principles with no results, isn’t it time to take a new approach?” When people see the kind of results my clients get, they realize that a new approach may be the only way they will successfully lose weight.

I battled my own weight since I was a teenager and through my own mistakes and struggles, I found the only way to really lose weight and keep it off was through a natural foods approach. And by no means does that mean a tasteless, bland food approach. I mean the stuff good ol’ Mother Nature provided us with in their delicious forms.

About The Diet Solution Program…

Q: people need is another “diet program.” How is your nutrition program different and who would be a perfect candidate for your nutrition program?

A: My nutrition program is the best way and the only way most people should be eating. It is not some crazy fad diet, nor is it some extreme crash diet. It is how everyone should be eating on a daily basis, as mother-nature intended. What most people don’t realize is, if we ate they way our ancestors ate centuries ago, we would all be lean and healthy.

It is the over-commercialized and toxic processed foods in our countries that are keeping everyone so overweight and unhealthy.

Does it really seem healthy to sign up for a diet program that makes you buy their food and only their food? Or to nourish your body with fake powders and bars? That’s really not how are bodies were designed.

Q: It looks like the ebook is getting great reviews – what has been the response so far?

A: The response has been incredibly positive. People have been emailing me and telling me what an eye opening experience it has been for them.

They also just couldn’t believe how simple weight loss could really be with all the right tools and information on hand.

After the first 2 weeks, people tell me they have lost weight that they have been struggling with for years. I get an overwhelming amount of ‘thank you’ notes in my email inbox everyday.

Q: What is the biggest benefit of following your nutrition program and does it come with meal recipes and meal plans?

A: The biggest benefit of my nutrition program is that it is made up of all real food. It also recommends that you eat good healthy portions of food and that you should NEVER be hungry. If you are walking around hungry, you are doing something wrong. You are most likely starving your body of the nutrients and whole foods it needs.

I have done all the hard work for you. I have put together all of the healthy principles into easy to follow meal plans, no matter what your starting point is. I have also included 61 of my favorite meal recipes so that you can always keep your nutrition program delicious.

Q: Why did you decide to write The Diet Solution Program when there is more than enough nutrition info out there?

A: I decided to write the Diet Solution for that exact reason. People are being bombarded with nutrition information and either one of two things is happening:

They are either being grossly misinformed with information that is the complete opposite of what is the truth or they are so overwhelmed with all of the good information and they just don’t know where to start. What I did with The Diet Solution was take all of the BEST information out on the market today and compiled it in an easy to understand, easy to read and easy to implement program. Basically, took the best of the best and saved my readers hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars in research and trial and error.

Q: What is your advice for someone just starting your Diet Solution program? Can anyone do this?

Absolutely anyone can follow and succeed on The Diet Solution Program. My mother started following the program at 63 years old after a kidney transplant. In 6 months, she lost 40 lbs and has never been healthier or felt better in her life. Not only has she lost a significant amount of weight, but she has greatly reduced the number of medications she was previously taking. If she can do it, anyone can do it!

A: I would start by incorporating one principle at a time. People get very overwhelmed and think they need to completely overhaul their life all at once, but this is not true. My own nutrition changes took almost 3 years. Now you may incorporate these principles sooner than I did, but remember that getting to your health goals at a pace that is do-able for you is much better than not doing anything at all.

Q: How does “meal planning” fit into the weight loss equation?

A: Meal planning is extremely important especially when you first change your current eating habits. If you find out that you feel best on a meal plan that contains protein in each meal, you must plan accordingly. This often intimidates people and makes them feel like “it is too much work”. But the whole thing really does become second nature. You finally know what you need each day to feel good and lose weight and you just naturally gravitate towards those foods. To make it a much simpler process in the beginning stages, I provide several days worth of detailed meal plans in my book, so my readers and my clients know exactly where to begin, without having to do the exact meal planning themselves.

Q: If there was one Diet Solution secret you could share with everyone what would it be?

A: Just one? Oh that’s tough. I guess it would be to learn your metabolic type and follow an eating plan that is specific to that type. Without this information, you may actually be following a healthy eating plan but one that is not specific to your metabolic needs. If it’s not what your body needs, you will not see the results you’re after.

Q: Any exciting new plans for the future?

A: Of course. We are now in the process of recording The Diet Solution Program as an audio program so that you can listen to the entire book in the car or on the go.

I am also in the process of putting together The Diet Solution for Children and The Diet Solution for Diabetes. Lots and lots of exciting projects in the works.

About Misconceptions With Food…

Q: You clearly state that soy is NOT a health food. Does this go for everyone including those people who want to gain muscle?

A: This goes for absolutely everyone, but especially for those who want to build muscle. I would even say the effects of eating soy will contribute to the exact OPPOSITE hormonal changes in your body that you want if building muscle is your goal. This is because most soy products on the market today contain phytoestrogens. These phytoestrogens mimic the effects of estrogen in the body and have been shown to decrease the testosterone levels of rats, monkeys and other animals, including humans.

It has been known for quite some time that soy lowers testosterone to the point that there is an old Japanese wives’ tale that says women punish straying husbands by feeding them a lot of tofu. Now what do you think that means?

If building muscle is your goal, definitely stay away from any protein powder or protein bar that contains soy or soy protein isolate. Make sure to read labels carefully as it is in more products than you think.

Q: When choosing a protein powder, should I really be concerned about artificial sweeteners harming my body?

A: Artificial sweeteners have been found to be one of the most toxic substances we can put inside our bodies.

Besides the fact that it causes brain and metabolism dysfunction, they clog up your liver to a point where it can not fully function.

Why is your liver so important? Your liver is not only responsible for eliminating toxins from your body but it is also responsible for metabolizing fat. If it is so busy processing through artificial sweeteners (a harmful toxin), it will not spend a sufficient amount of time processing through the unwanted fat you are trying to lose.

Believe it or not, I have had clients give up Diet Coke and lose up to 10 lbs in 2 weeks!

Q: Why are artificial sweeteners so bad if they supposedly have “zero calories”?

A: Zero sugar foods are actually much worse than sugar containing foods.

Artificial sweeteners (like aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin) are poison to our bodies.

Whenever the body reads an ingested food as a potential danger, your liver comes to the rescue to help ward off any danger these foreign substances may cause.

People who eat and drink “diet” foods and “diet drinks all day, are overwhelming and taxing their livers. Your liver is crucial in the weight loss/fat burning process. So if your liver is taxed and not working at optimum, it becomes near impossible to lose any weight.

This is why I give my readers many alternatives to sugar free foods and sugar containing foods. There are natural alternatives that are ideal replacements for any of these diet foods, without the potential harm to the liver.

Q: In your program, you talk about good dairy and bad dairy. Any tip you can provide before I buy any more dairy?

A: Dairy is one of the leading reasons most people can not lose weight or, worse yet, are constantly gaining weight.

The shocking truth about dairy is that it is only healthy in its raw form. All of the pasteurized dairy in the supermarkets today are really keeping people fat and making them fatter.

Besides the countless amount of research that has been done showing us how healthy raw dairy is, the proof is really in the thousands of people and children that are overweight or obese and drinking several glasses of pasteurized milk each day.

Q: Eating organic food is really expensive. Is it worth the extra cost or completely over rated? Will it really make a difference in building muscle faster and losing fat quicker?

A: The answer to this question takes us back to the function of the liver. The pesticides, antibiotics and hormones that are being added to most foods are clogging up our livers. Again, a clogged up liver can not burn fat. And worse yet, will continue to store fat. Yes, organic food may be a bit more expensive.

But most of my clients notice their grocery bill is the same once they eliminate the expensive cereals and “so called” expensive diet foods they were eating before.

Q: Do you think fat burning pills are helpful in the weight loss process?

A: I think people really don’t realize the severe damage they are causing their bodies with fat burning pills. Whenever you attempt to artificially spark your metabolism with harmful pills, you are essentially creating a “lazy” metabolism.

When you go off these pills, your metabolism is too lazy to do anything.

Almost every person I know who has taken fat burning pills complains of gaining even more weight when they attempt to get off of them. Of course this happens.

Their metabolism is now “on vacation” and not sure if it will ever come back as strong as it was before.

The best way to spark your metabolism is to eat good amounts of healthy protein, fat and carbohydrates all day long.

This is what your metabolism was designed to do: metabolize healthy food into energy and muscle for the body to utilize.

Q: Are there really certain foods that are toxic to our bodies? How do we know which foods to look for?

A: The amount of toxic chemicals that are now added to our foods is actually quite frightening. The same pesticides that are designed to kill bugs are all over conventional produce and these pesticides go into our bloodstream when we eat these sprayed fruits and vegetables. The 2 worst forms of chemicals are hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup. Hydrogenated oil is a toxic change in oil to make it more shelf stable, hence keeping foods like packaged cookies, cakes and most processed foods in the stores longer to make maximum profit by these companies. My program teaches people exactly which chemicals they must stay away from if they want to finally lose their excess weight (and often times, these chemicals are exactly what’s keeping them from achieving their desired goals).

About Your Physiology…

Q: How important is it to eat based on your metabolism and eat the right foods for your metabolism? Do you touch on this in your program?

A: Eating the right foods for your metabolism is so important, that it is the difference between losing weight and not losing weight.

We are all individual and so are our metabolisms.

In order to pinpoint exactly which meal plan will work best, I have included a Metabolic Typing Test so my readers can determine exactly how they metabolize food and which foods are “fat burning” foods and which foods are “fat storing” foods. The results of this test have been a true “AHA” moment for thousands of people, finally, maybe for the first time, finding why they have not been able to shed their unwanted fat before.

What I teach in The Diet Solution Program is exactly what your body needs to maintain a lean and healthy body for a lifetime.

Q: Do you think people can lose weight on a fat free diet?

A: Definitely not. The no-fat craze clearly made most Americans (and many other countries) gain more weight than ever before. Why? Because the right kind of fat is essential to the body and without it, your body can not metabolize the fat you don’t want. So unless you feed your body the fats that it needs, it literally holds on to all the fat you don’t need (and don’t want!). Eating a low fat or no fat meal plan is a huge mistake. Not only will you not lose weight but you may suffer from many conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease.
This is usually one of the most eye-opening chapters for most of my readers. They can’t believe they need to eat fat to lose fat and are amazed when they see the results first hand. Now, of course, eating unhealthy fats (like the ones found in French fries and burgers) is not the right approach. You must focus on the healthy fats (again, as Mother Nature intended).

Q: After reading The Diet Solution I discovered that I am a serious ‘Protein Type’ – what the main thing I should do to increase my energy?

A: The main thing is not to be afraid of eating healthy fat and healthy proteins. Everyone thinks chicken breasts and egg whites is the only way to lose weight but, especially for a protein type, that is not the case. Actually a protein type may gain weight by only eating low fat proteins and a low fat meal plan. Someone like you needs whole eggs, dark meat poultry, beef, and healthy fats.

Q: What exactly is Metabolic Typing and why is it so important for each of us to know our metabolic type?

A: Metabolic typing is actually a very old science-based way to determine which foods respond best to your body. The best way to describe this method is: the foods that an Eskimo would eat are clearly different than the foods a native Hawaiian would eat. Why? Because their natural ancestors and their environment dictate how their bodies will process and digest food. So an Eskimo will need a meal plan higher in healthy fats to keep warm and a Hawaiian will need a meal plan higher in veggies and fruits to stay cool. Now, it is often not this simple. Each and every person’s metabolism responds very differently to all food and can vary greatly from person to person. For example, I feel my best and stay at my ideal weight when I eat higher fat proteins along with lots of vegetables where as many of my clients do better with higher amounts of natural carbohydrates and lower fat proteins. My book provides a detailed, easy to answer test to determine your own personal metabolic type and then tells you exactly which foods are the best fit for you.

Q: Can people lose weight by just starving themselves?

A: Back in the caveman days, there were periods of feast and famine. Our bodies have a natural ability to make sure we do not die of starvation. This mechanism in our bodies holds on to every bit of fat and every calorie possible to keep us from dying. This is obviously no longer a risk in most countries, but this mechanism is still present in our bodies. So when people starve themselves all day, the body sees this as a potential risk, and holds on to every calorie and fat gram it possibly can. This is why people become extremely frustrated when they “don’t eat all day” and still don’t lose weight.
I know it seems counterproductive, but the only way to truly lose weight and keep it off is to start eating. But not processed unnatural foods. Your body will respond best to natural, wholesome foods and LOTS of them.

Q: How do companies get away with selling products with harmful chemicals in them?

The Diet Solution

A: I hate to say this but most food and pharmaceutical companies are really only concerned with one thing: money. So if they were to actually teach people the real truth behind how to lose weight and take control of their health, most of the food products, supplements and medications on the market today would be completely unnecessary. Let’s be honest. No one is going to get rich selling apples, you know?

I think many of these companies are also feeding off people’s emotions. The more addicted they get people to their products and diet foods, the more money they will continue to make. But if you were to get someone to their ideal weight with natural foods like veggies, fruits and natural meats, there would be no food addictions to diet foods and chemicals, just good healthy eating.

It gives you Three Diet Programs along with over 150 recipes of a wide variety of desserts, muffins, ice creams, soups, salads, vegetables, pickles, sauces, etc. consisting of negative calorie food ingredients. All foods have some calories.

Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain! Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage, and they are also known as fat burning foods.

Sounds Like a Diet Gimmick, Some Purportedly Fat Burning Foods Actually have Some Science Behind their Claims.
Plus a Simple 3-Step Formula for a Real Fat Burning Meal.

What is your definition of a “fat burning food” ?

Fat Burning Food Definition

When you say “fat burning food” or “foods that burn fat,” many people instantly think of exotic herbs, hot spices or foods like cayenne, chili pepper, mustard, cider vinegar, guarana, green tea, etc., which allegedly increase your metabolic rate.

It sounds like a diet gimmick, so you are justified in being skeptical, but believe it or not, some of these purported fat burning foods actually have some science behind the claims.

For example, there is a slight thermogenic effect from capsaicin in hot peppers.

A Well-controlled research has also proven that a compound in green tea called epigallo-catechin gallate (EGCG) gives a small but significant increase in 24 hour metabolic rate.

Did you know that it would take 3-4 strong cups of green tea to get the necessary amount, 270-300 mg of EGCG, or you can also get it from some green tea extract supplements.

(Little known tip: Look for Japanese Sencha – it is reputed to have the highest concentration of EGCG).

However, there is a catch.

The Fat Burning Thermogenic Effects of Food

The fat burning (thermogenic) effect of these foods is real, but very small.

A study published in the European Journal of clinical Nutrition found that a dose of hot pepper (in an amount that could be tolerated), only increased metabolism by 21 calories.

Green tea extract fared a little better, but not much.

Research from Switzerland found an average 24 hour increase in metabolism of only 79 calories.

That is not much.

In fact, it is controversial whether this short term (24 hour) increase in metabolism will have any impact on actual fat loss over time.

But if you really like Green tea, it is extremely healthy, and I do recommend it as a beverage.

And, if you like hot peppers and hot spicy foods (I do), by all means enjoy them – they can be quite nutritious – and they may give a tiny boost to your metabolism.

Just do not expect any fat loss miracles.

What WILL help you burn fat is a diet consisting of nutrient-dense, natural foods and putting together your meals to maximize satiety, while also choosing some of the foods that have a lower caloric density and a higher thermic effect of digestion.

Let me explain,

Dietary Thermogenesis and the Fat Burning (Thermic Effect) Of Food

In reality, ALL foods are “thermogenic” because the body must use energy to digest them.

This is known as the “thermic effect of food” (TEF) or “specific dynamic action of food.”

However, not all foods have the same thermic effect.

Did you know that dietary fat has the lowest thermic effect.

The most thermogenic food (my “favorite”) is lean protein from solid foods, especially the following:

• chicken breast
• turkey breast
• game meats
• bison, buffalo
• very lean red meat such as top round and lean sirloin (grass fed is especially nutritious)
• almost all types of fish
• shellfish and other seafood
• egg whites (whole eggs in moderation)

Some Research has proven that the thermic effect of protein is the highest of all the macronutrients, requiring about 30% of the calories it contains, just for digestion and processing.

Now That’s Fat Burning Food!

An added bonus is that lean protein foods suppress your appetite!

This is one of the reasons that a bodybuilder’s diet calls for a lean protein food at every meal and it is no coincidence that bodybuilders are the leanest muscular athletes on earth.

My entire fat loss program is based on these bodybuilding diet methods (although my diet is not just for bodybuilders).

When you combine thermogenic lean protein foods with the right amounts and types of essential fats, add in plenty of green vegetables and just the right amount of natural starchy carbs and 100% whole grains, your body will literally turn into a turbo-charged fat burning machine – without drugs, supplements or weird diet gimmicks.

A Simple 3-Step Formula for a Real Fat Burning Meal.

1. Select a green vegetable or fibrous vegetable such as asparagus, green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, salad vegetables, etc., and then
2. Combine that with one of the lean proteins (previously mentioned above).
3. The lean protein and fibrous carb forms the foundation of your fat burning meal.

   From there, add natural starchy carbs or grains such as brown rice, oats, or sweet potatoes – in the amount your calorie needs dictate and to the degree your body can tolerate them (some people are carb-sensitive).

   Fruit is also ok, but focus even more on the green and fibrous vegetables.

If you are thinking about using fat burner supplements or if you are simply looking for information about fat burners, then what you are about to read on this page may might surprise you.

DO NOT spend any of your money on “fat burners” until you read this!

The Truth about fat burner pills and the advertisements that sell them is going to shock you, stun you and may even outrage you, especially if you have been spending large sums of money on these products.

Please do not take my word for it either.

Read this short article.

Reflect on what you have read and then YOU make the call.

EPHEDRA AND EPHEDRINE – THERMOGENIC “FAT BURNERS”

The most popular of the “fat burner” supplements ever on the market were no doubt ephedra or ephedrine-based products. These products began to hit the shelves back in 1993.

The Fat Burner Ephedrine

Ephedrine was immensely popular because there was actually some good scientific evidence showing that it had measurable fat burning effects.

You could also “feel” it, because you got an “energy buzz.”

Ephedrine is a drug derived from a plant (a Chinese herb) called ephedra (also known as ma huang).
It is similar in chemical structure to amphetamines and works as a “beta-adrenergic agonist” – which means, that it is a thermogenic (a metabolism stimulating) agent that helps with the release of stored body fat.

So if it worked, why did it get banned by the FDA and taken off the market in April of 2004?

Well, there were clearly some political and financial agendas involved, But the reason given to the public was “concern about adverse affects and safety”.

To this day, the decision to remove ephedrine from the market is still controversial because the research was mixed on whether the risks were severe enough to warrant the ban.

PROBABLY SAFE WHEN TAKEN AS DIRECTED, BUT…

Although the FDA reportedly had 80 ephedrine related deaths and 1400 adverse effect complaints on file, including strokes, coronaries and seizures, the fact is, when compared to deaths caused by prescription drugs and other over the counter drugs like aspirin, ephedra actually appeared fairly safe when used as directed by healthy individuals and was not abused.

Ephedrine Fat Burning Addiction

However, one huge downside of ephedrine that was not often mentioned by the pro-ephedrine camp is that stimulant-based fat burners can be highly addictive. This Addiction leads to improper use or abuse of Ephedrine.

In the early and mid 1990’s, I used ephedra products myself because they were legal, over the counter and at the time, they were not banned from the natural bodybuilding competitions that I participated in.

Ephedrines Fat Burning Benefits

Research be damned, I never believed that these pills actually helped me all that much with fat loss.

But, what I did notice was the “rocket-engine” stimulant boost – the buzz, the pounding heart rate, the increased physical energy, and the amplified mental focus and workout “intensity.”

At the height of the craze, 12 to 17 million people were using ephedra and no doubt, many of them were hooked on what was essentially a mild form of legal speed.

These products were being abused en masse as “pick me ups.” Students were popping these pills to stay awake and study all night. Partiers were doing the same. So were truck drivers.

Downside of the Fat Burner Ephedrine

WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
Like any addictive habit, it’s difficult to stop. When you first go cold turkey, you crash emotionally and physically and your workouts suffer as your crutch has been taken away. I suppose it’s a lot like trying to kick the booze or cigarette habit. You go through withdrawal.

Your body is too smart for short term quick fixes to ever work because your body will always fight back to maintain a natural balance or “homeostasis.”

For every artificial peak or high you create, there will be an equal or greater valley or low point.

If you over-stimulate, your body can respond by slowing down your natural metabolic rate to compensate. As a result, when you stop using the stimulant, your metabolism is slower than ever and you gain back any weight you lost and more.

This often prompts you to go back on the stimulants and the vicious cycle of stimulant addiction continues.

Some experts say that long term use can even lead to adrenal burnout.

The Bottom Line on the Fat Burner Ephedrine

Even if there are not any serious coronary or health risks from proper use, there is the risk of irresponsible use and the risk of addiction and dependency on “fake energy.” just remember, what goes up, must come down. If you borrow energy you will eventually have to pay it back.

Ephedra Free Fat Burners

When the FDA finally pulled the plug on ephedra, supplement companies scrambled like crazed maniacs to come out with “ephedra free” formulas for their “fat burners” as they anticipated the imminent doom of their multi-million dollar cash cows.

The new ads proclaimed,

• “More powerful than ephedrine-based fat burners!”
• “The next generation of thermogenic technology!”

The great irony is that most of the fat burners currently on the Market today are completely worthless.

At best they provide a watered down, unproven substitute for ephedrine and a slight buzz (most are loaded with caffeine).

Or, they may provide some mild appetite suppression. But NONE of these so called “next generation fat burners” are the “miracles” that the advertisements say they are.

Bodybuilding industry columnist “Will Brink” put it this way,

“The explosion of ephedrine free weight loss products was more a function of market pressure vs being based on any science. Claims by some companies that their new ephedrine-free “fat burners” were equivalent to or even superior to EC based products was wishful thinking and marketing-driven BS.”

But it did not matter.

Consumers had been hoodwinked with the classic bait and switch. The ephedrine was gone from the formulas, but the brand names remained the same.

STAGGERING BILLION DOLLAR FORTUNES IN FAT BURNERS AND DIET PILLS

In the last year before Ephedra was banned, sales had skyrocketed to $1.25 BILLION DOLLARS, according to the Nutrition Business Journal.

The money still continues to pour in at a staggering rate today.

To say that money is the main motivation behind the push for diet pills and a fat burners would be the understatement of the century.

Most people who aggressively recommend “fat burning” pills of any kind are profiting from their sale and it is hard to get unbiased information when so much money is at stake.

THE HARD TRUTH:
A LEAN BODY DOES NOT COME IN A PILL

Common Myths About Fat Burners

It is a common misconception that you can not reach your fat loss goals unless you take some kind of “fat burner” supplement.

It is also a common misconception that you can pop a pill and get dramatic results like you see on TV and in the magazine ads.

The results you see in the ads for fat burners are persuasive, but before and after testimonials are NOT proof that diet pills were responsible for those results.

Not all before and afters are bogus, of course. But many of the legitimate photos are “not typical” and represent the best possible case scenarios, after extremely intense training and strict nutritional regimens.

As for many “miraculous transformations,” the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) And state attorney general’s offices have been exposing them for what they really are, set-ups and outright fakes!

In January of 2007, four diet pill companies you have definitely heard of were sued by the FTC and ordered to pay $25 million in fines.

The reasons: False Advertising and No Evidence To Back Up Their Claims.

Fat Burner False Advertising

San Diego Attorney Todd Macaluso took sworn depositions from several Diet pill before and after models.

According to a story in the San Diego Tribune by Penni Crabtree, Los Angeles bodybuilder Mike Piacentino Swore under oath that he was paid to stop working out and to eat ice cream and donuts to fatten him up three weeks in advance of his “before” photo shoot.

Then he used his bodybuilding expertise to get back in his usual top shape.

According to an ABC 20/20 expose’, fitness model Marla Duncan said In advertisements that she lost 35 lbs with the help of a popular fat burner pill.

However, Jay Nixon, the Missouri Attorney General, found out that Duncan had recently been pregnant and given birth.

The “before” photo was taken shortly afterwards.

The fat burner pill company settled the case out of court for $100,000 while denying any wrongdoing.

Will you ever look at before and after photos the same again?

Do you really want to keep forking over your money to these companies?

My Fat Loss Pill Final Conclusion

Diet pills and fat burners are nothing but quick fixes. Every one of them.

Even if they help in the short term, they do not help in the long term because you are only treating symptoms.

Body fat is a symptom of a complex problem with multiple causes including unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, lack of activity and even mental factors like subconscious self-sabotage and emotional eating.

My Fat Loss Solution

The true solution to any problem, including body fat, is to find the causes and treat them.

After using them for a few years in the 1990’s, and after a lot of research, self-experimentation and personal reflection, I made the decision to dump “fat burning” and “pre-workout stimulant” pills down the toilet forever.

I then decided that I would no longer recommend these products to my readers and clients.

Since then, I have continued my training with no fat burners whatsoever.

There has been NO difference in my results and I have gone on to win numerous bodybuilding titles.

As a natural bodybuilder today, I routinely reach 4% body fat for competitions and maintain my body fat at around 9% all year, using my own system of natural nutrition and training,
NO DRUGS, NO PILLS and NO FAT BURNERS!

I find the obsession so many people have with taking a pill to lose weight both perplexing and troubling at the same time, especially when you consider that fat loss can be achieved naturally, so simply and predictably with nutrition and exercise methods such as what I teach in my Fat LossProgram.

Spending big money, sometimes $40 to $50 a bottle or even more on pills is even more baffling to me when you consider that even if you get some small fat burning effect from the supplements, it is nothing you could not get from another week or two of dieting and exercising!

Please, Think About It.

I recommend you take a pass on “fat burner” pills and supplements and learn how to burn fat the way mother nature intended – through proper nutrition, by building more muscle, and by increasing your activity level to burn more calories.

If you are not satisfied with your results, trust me, it is NOT because you have a “diet pill deficiency.”

Weight Loss Plan

There are thousands of weight loss plans and dozens of people claiming to be experts. However, very few of these so-called “Fat loss experts” practice what they preach or have the credentials and track record to back up their claims.

Since you’re probably wondering how this program is different, here’s the whole story.

• I tried a high carbohydrate diet with practically ZERO fat. I tried the Zone and Isometric diets.
• I tried food combining.
• I tried food separating.
• I tried high protein and “ketogenic” diets including the tuna fish and water diet.
• I tried the cyclical ketogenic diet and body opus.
• I even tried – get a load of this – the so-called “anabolic” high fat diet no pancakes, bagels or toast were allowed, but bacon, sausage and whole eggs in butter were just fine.

And then there was my experiment with the “high egg hormone precursor diet” from a famous late bodybuilding guru from Hollywood.

Yes, I ate three dozen WHOLE eggs a day, every day for months on end (and sometimes I washed them down raw mixed with half and half – I kid you not.

I also tried or shall I say, wasted my money on virtually every supplement from Aminos to Zinc.

If you’re making the same deadly diet mistakes as most other people, you might lose some weight temporarily, but you’ll actually get fatter in the long run. Your body is just way too smart for these “ordinary” diets to ever work you can’t fool a metabolic and hormonal system that’s the result of thousands of years of evolution.
