4
Minute Fat Loss
As
many on you know I started a trial program last month called "4 Minute Fat Loss".
The final results will be in tomorrow and I cannot wait. Week 3 results were
fantastic. I will be making a full DVD of the 4MFL process so everyone can
experience the same success as my trial group. I will be shooting at the end
of this month, and hope to have it out to you guys mid to late April - just
in time for summer! Email me if you have any questions.
Code
Name: C-Diet
Along with the 4 Minute Fat Loss program I launched last month, I created a
specific nutritional plan. It is a type of Nutritional Intervention of sorts.
I started with the V-Diet and put my own spin on it. The results have been
tremendous.It is what I have been doing personally, and here is something I
have not told anyone yet: I am at the lowest bodyfat % of my life. Soon I
will post pix to prove it.
I'll be
straight with you, this is just a tease. I have not finished writing it up
yet. But when I do - you'll be the first to know.

I got a
huge response from article I wrote for the last newsletter entitled Pants Lie. So I thought I's share with you some of the
things I learned.
One of my
good friends is a marketing guru, and at some point had a meeting with a high
level marketing person with Calvin Klein. They got to talking and she went on
to tell how today’s size 2 is actually a size 4 from the 80’s. And as the
sizes get bigger the gap gets larger. Example: today’s size 12 is a size 16
from the 80’s and the same applies for men.
That
actually makes perfect sense. For example let's say a woman went to go buy
some jeans and was choosing between 2 pairs. One said it was a size 12 while
the other said size 8- otherwise the jeans are identical (they were in
reality exactly the same size). Which one would she choose? The size 8 of
course. She would probably be willing to pay more.
Another
woman emailed me and told me the more expensive the brand, the bigger the
lie. That goes back to what I said above: A person would be willing to pay
more for a label that has a smaller number.
What am I
saying here? Well for one thing it's yet another lie perpetrated on the
good people of this country (get used to it, it's an election year). What it
really comes down to is that you should not base your worth as a person on
numbers. Any numbers. Whether it is the number you have in the bank or the
number around your waist or even the number on the scale.
I do not
pretend to be wise enough to tell anyone how they should define themselves,
but if I may make this suggestion: Perhaps a better way would be to base your
worth on how you feel (not necessarily how you look) and more importantly who
you love and who loves you. Just a thought.
No number
defines you. Remember that.
PS: Sorry if this one was a little deep- I'll try not to let it happen again.
Who Else Wants the Secret to Great Abs?
It never
fails. As spring approaches people start thinking about getting in shape for
summer. And every year the number one thing I'm asked is "How can I get
great abs?"
You've probably pondered that question at some time or another and you're
likely frustrated with your waistline. Maybe you've given up on your abs
after doing dozens of crunches only to see zero results. I don't blame you.
Forget everything you've heard about how to sculpt your abs. Crunches simply
won't give you a six pack.
You see, to do crunches with the hope that it will turn your midsection into
a washboard is to operate under one of the most widely held fitness myths.
I'm talking about spot reducing. Simply put, training one area of your body
will not specifically burn fat from that area.
You've probably heard that spot reducing is a myth, but most people still
train as if it is true. Doing crunches will not magically make your waist
shrink, it will not cause your muffin top to disappear, and it will not give
you washboard abs.
Only a drop in body fat will do that for you.
So what is the secret to great abs? Instead of endless crunches, the secret
is a winning combination of fat burning cardio, resistance training, and
proper eating.
It is absolutely possible for you to dramatically shape up your waistline
before summer hits this year. Yes, Y-O-U. Weight loss is not reserved only
for the people you've seen on the Biggest Loser or on diet pill infomercials.
You can do it too.
Answer the following two questions to see how your routine measures up:
How often do you
exercise? If your answer was anything less than 4 times a
week, then that's the first thing getting between you and streamline abs. How
do you define a fat burning workout? A routine including intense
cardiovascular training coupled with effective resistance training. Do you do
this?
I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but walking on the treadmill
for 30 minutes isn't a fat blasting routine. Neither is a leisurely 20
minutes on the elliptical machine. The truth is that you can dramatically
increase your results while investing less time when you exercise right.
Cardio exercise is all about maintaining an effective level of intensity.
This doesn't mean that you should be out of breath or gasping for air. It
does mean that you need to push yourself.
Resistance training is the second key part of a fat burning workout. This
means working your major muscle groups against resistance in a way that
stimulates your metabolism. Again the key here is to find the right intensity
and to keep each muscle group guessing.
What kind of shape is
your diet in? Diet is a big stumbling block for most
people-especially as it relates to their midsection. Here's a fact: If your
diet is out of control then your abs will be too. You can't trim your waist
without trimming the junk out of your diet, regardless of how hard you
exercise.
- Keep calories in check. Do you know how many calories
you eat? The best way to find out is to record everything you eat for a
few days. Tally the number of calories that you eat each day and do an
evaluation-feel free to recruit me to help out with this part. Together we'll
chart improvements for your diet and adjust your calories for maximum
results.
- Just say "No" to junk food. While this may
seem obvious, your definition of "junk food" may need an
alteration. Refined sugar is one of the biggest culprits in the junk
food world-it is found in soft drinks, blended coffee drinks, cookies,
cakes, packaged snacks, and other sinfully sweet treats. Processed fat
is another monster. As a rule of thumb you can safely view all processed
or refined items as junk food.
- Eat more frequently. The key here is to never let your
metabolism "crash" by going hours without eating. One of the
biggest mistakes you can make is to skip breakfast-as this is the meal
that 'breaks the fast' that your body goes into each night. Stick with
eating small meals every few hours and always avoid stuffing yourself.
You should now understand why you
are better off not wasting time on crunches-while it is important to exercise
your abs a couple of times a week, you won't expect fat to fall of that area
after 100's of crunches.
Do you want to flatten and sculpt your waist in time for summer this year?
All you have to do is decide that you really want it. Commit to yourself-you
deserve it.
See me for fat blasting workouts that deliver results. Together we will get
you on a program that will melt the fat off your abs, exposing shape and
definition-just in time for summer.

Losing
weight may seem anything but simple. With all of the trendy diet plans and
new workout fads-it is easy to become confused. The good news is that the
basics of weight loss have not changed over the years. It all boils down to
Calories In versus Calories Out. Too many Calories In, and you will gain
weight. Extra Calories Out and you will lose it. Keep in mind that 3,500
calories equals one pound and every single calorie counts!
 This delicious dish is made with egg whites and sautéed
vegetables and makes a wonderful light breakfast. Enjoy with salsa for an
added kick. Servings:
