Lifetime Fat Loss
17.11.08Lifetime Fat Loss

This past weekend I got to catch up with a friend (Jack) whom I hadn’t seen in several months. Like most people Jack hadn’t really changed in appearance since the last time we saw each other (around the 1st of the year). Jack and I talked for a while about stuff (Mario Kart for the Nintendo Wii, the increasing price of corn, how summer TV is really bad, you know the usual) then as many of my conversations seem to go Jack started asking me about nutrition and fat loss.
Basically Jack was pretty frustrated. He said that he had been dieting for “as long as I can remember” but somehow he still had 15lbs to lose. Some further interrogation (okay I wasn’t interrogating my friend) Jack ‘fessed up that while he was a lifetime dieter his compliance to his fat loss diet was pretty bad.
This resulted in something that I find with a lot of people. Because Jack was supposed to be “dieting” he would never feel like he could enjoy non-clean foods or foods in normal/larger quantities, so he’d feel guilty when he ate them, get discouraged, fall off the wagon, wait until Monday, and start dieting again.
This cycle would repeat week after week, month after month. The end result was Jack wasn’t losing the weight he wanted and he was burnt out and discouraged because he felt like he had been dieting forever and not getting anywhere.
Have you found yourself in this situation?
Do you find yourself in this situation?
The best cure for the lifetime dieter that I have found is an all out blitz. Jack has been getting lost in 12 week fat loss programs, so shorter (and more extreme) program is better for him. I told Jack about Warp Speed Fat Loss and explained that there were a couple rules he needed to follow if he was going to do the program.
1. No Cheating - He needed to stick to the diet 100%
2. No Skipping Workouts - There are only 24 workouts so he has to do everyone
3. Completed Focused Effort - No training for a marathon, spinning classes 3x a week, etc. All his efforts needed to be focused on losing as much weight as fast as possible.
4. He Had To Let People Know - Tell people about what he was doing would put the pressure on Jack to really make the 28 days fat loss sprint work. 28 days isn’t that long and if he told friends and coworkers they were sure to check in with him to see how he did (plus most people would assume that losing 15lbs in 3-4 weeks isn’t possible so they would be intrigued enough to find out what happened).
He agreed that rapid weight loss was what he needed to end his lifetime of dieting, he agreed to my 4 stipulations, and he started Warp Speed Fat Loss on Monday.
Now, have you been dieting forever?
If you are tired of 12 week diets and just want to get the weight off and get it over with then check out the complete rapid weight loss system I put together with expert trainer Alwyn Cosgrove at {aff_link}.
But you need to agree to the above 4 rules too.
The time to end a lifetime of dieting is now and you deserve to be in the best shape of your life.
Let’s make that happen together.

The Problem with Weight Loss: Your Body Will Do The Opposite.
By Alwyn Cosgrove
GetFit Recommended Product: Warp Speed Fat Loss
Homeostasis is the property of a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition.
When you don’t drink enough water in the short term — often the body retains water. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by counteracting the stresses we put on it.
When you drink a lot of extra water - your body excretes more water to maintain balance.
When we weight train — we actually break down muscle tissue. And the body responds by building new muscle. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by doing the reverse of the stimulus we placed on it.
When a male takes supplemental testosterone — the body shuts down its own production in a bid to maintain homeostasis.
When we immunize children against disease — we actually inject them with a small dose of that disease. The immune system recognizes the vaccine as foreign, destroys it, and ‘remembers’ it. When the virulent version of an agent comes along, the immune system is thus prepared to respond. In order to prepare the body to defend against a disease - we expose it to the disease - and it responds by doing the opposite - it destroys the disease.
In almost every situation I can think of, the body tries to maintain homeostasis by “doing the opposite” of the stimulus.
How does this apply to weight loss?
Now we know that while you are doing it — low intensity exercise burns primarily fat.
Higher intensity exercise actually burns more carb stores than fat.
But in every head to head comparison, high intensity exercise results in more fat loss than low intensity exercise - even though the more intense work may burn a lesser percentage of fat during the exercise session.
Burning glycogen results in a larger amount of fat lost than burning fat directly.
The body responds by “doing the opposite”…
Break down muscle to grow more muscle. Burn glycogen to lose more fat.
I designed Warp Speed Fat Loss training program to specifically take advantage of this ‘law’ of nature so that when your body “does the opposite” you’ll end up with faster and greater fat loss.

30 Day Guaranteed Drop A Dress Size
26.10.08OK guys… stop sending me emails. I was inundated with emails during my holiday about my 30 day Drop A Dress Size guarantee, and my schedule is now just too full.
However I had a quick phone call with Jess this afternoon, and she has mentioned that she was prepared to make the very same offer…
DROP A DRESS SIZE in 30 days or we give you your money back! Plus we will continue to train you for free until you DO Drop a Dress Size.
Jess has a real limitation of when she can train clients, so she is being really selective about who and when she trains.
So here are the conditions again:
- You’ll train with Jess one-on-one twice a week for four weeks, no excuses, no get outs PERIOD.
- You must follow the exercise plan Jess sets for you in full without deviation.
- You must follow our dietary recommendations to the letter, this is our Nutritional Responsibility program that is based around the Elimination diet . This means no alcohol, zero bread and pasta, zero processed foods, etc etc.
- You must commit to writing and reading your goals every day, and taking positive action every day to achieving them.
- You must write a daily journal, and email it to Jess every evening for 30 days to tell her what you have been doing that day, nutrition and exercise wise.
- At the start and end of the program Jess will ask you to take photographs to demonstrate the changes to your body shape and be prepared to write a full report of how you have got on with the program.
Now Jess is realy only taking 5 clients at this time, and having talked about her available times, during the lunch period is going to be the most ideal time. Now if this fits with you then you need to:
go to the http://www.getfit.lu/consultation.html page to register your intention to start training with us
drop Jess an email at jess@getfit.lu with the subject “Drop A Dress Size 30 days” and tell her why she should take you as one of the 5 special clients to help you drop that dress size(Jeans size for guys)! I wouldn’t wait for the deadline of the 31st October at 18:00 as Jess will have likely filled those places by then.
So get to it right now if your are really serious about making some extra special changes in the month of November.
I seem to get asked at least once a week which books I would recommend for training, fat loss, nutrition, goal setting etc etc…
I do read lots of this stuff, in fact I tend to be reading non stop… strange I never used to be like that…
Anyway, I have created a page on the GetFit.lu website with all my recommended books and where you can get them from. I have added Amazon links or retailer links so you can get all these products shipped to your door in double quick time.
Summer holidays are a great time to catch up with some interesting reading, pick one or two that you can pack in your suitcase…

Unconsciously Getting Fat
20.06.08This might seem really obvious to you, but to me this is such an important aspect of weight management.
I was chatting to my wife this afternoon and we were discussing the meal we had last night. We try to make an effort to have at least one night during the week where we go and treat ourselves to a meal for two at a nice restaurant. We don’t necessarily worry about the type of food we eat, or that we might have a glass of wine or beer with the meal and we will have a dessert too.
The meal we had was a Chateau Briand shared between the two of us, a fine piece of meat, vegetables and all the trimmings. It tasted fantastic, was loaded with calories and we probably ate too much of it. However I think the most important part of it was we “Planned to fail”!
My wife then told me about something that happened this morning in the office, someone came round with cream cakes, with chocolate and all sorts of stuff like that, without hesitation she ate the cake without any conscious thought of what it would do to her. The cake probably didn’t have as many calories as the nice dinner last night but was more likely to be many times more damaging. Why? This time she just “failed” it was not planned.
How many times today have you just eaten something just because it was there, you ate it with no regard for the consequences, it was a completely subconscious action?
The secret to succeeding with nutritional habits to support your fat loss goals is in the planning! Knowing exactly when you will fail, plan to fail then make sure every other feeding opportunity is thoroughly planned.
Not to say I am perfect, I do still have situations were I fall victim to eating completely unconsciously but so long as the majority of my meals are planned I stay on track with eating better.
Obvious maybe? Try a little planning yourself this week!
