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.

First off, Warp Speed Fat Loss is a very cool concept. The idea that you have in your hands the exact step by step rapid weight loss blueprint that can help you lose 8lbs in the first week and up to 21lbs in just 28 days is very exciting.
Warp Speed Fat Loss is broken up into two main parts - diet and training. The good thing is you can be a complete idiot in both areas and still lose as boatload of weight since everything is laid out for you.
In regards to the diet. It is put together by nutritionist and fat loss master Mike Roussell. Mike has created a ton of different “diet levels” so all you need to do is 1. Know your body weight and 2. Print out the 28 day diet plan for that body weight. If you don’t like the foods Mike picked out that is okay as he made some really easy to follow videos that show you how to add your favorite foods to his diets.
The training part of Warp Speed Fat Loss isn’t a walk in the park; but if anyone told you that you could lose 20lbs of fat in just 4 weeks without a solid exercise program they’d be telling you lies. It isn’t like you have to spend your whole day in the gym either as each of the workouts are over in less than 57 minutes.

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.

OK here I am again experiencing another of our fundamentals this time Nutritional Responsibility, what is this exactly? well it is actually very simple, it’s all about going back to basics making sure that we have a clean diet consisting of fresh fruit and veg, fresh meat and fish, low fat dairy and water.One of the things that we ask you to do is to to keep a truth diary. This involves writing down everything that goes into your mouth and at what time.You will also grade them. A is for all fresh, B is for not so good but not so bad and C is yes you guessed it is all heavily processed foods like pizza, alcohol, biscuits etc. You will also mark down how many portions of fruit and veg you have eaten and what you have drunk.
So how is it going so far….. well boy does it make you think about what you are putting in your mouth. The idea is not really to change what you are eating just to record it, but automatically i found myself making small changes.
From seeing what I had written down I have automatically increased my water intake upped my portions of fruit and veg, cleaned up my main meals by reducing the amount of processed foods and increased the amount of times that I am eating per day(which is never a problem for me as I love to eat:o), which of course is the key to revving up your metabolism and getting rid of your body fat. So with out really making an effort and just with these small changes I have lost nearly 2 kilos already!!!
Now as part of your 3 month pro gramme with us for ONE MONTH we ask you to give up alcohol, wheat based products and all processed foods so that you can really see dramatic effects that it can have. I will let you know how this goes in the not to distant future…
Start training with Marie this week, utilising the power of Nutritional Responsibility, go here to arrange a consultation
The alternative Goal Setting
02.05.08We sound like broken records sometimes. All these trainers, coaches and fitness professionals spouting the benefits of effective goal setting. We have read so much about goals, our reaction is often “Yeah heard that one before” and we pretty much ignore the sound advice BECAUSE we have heard it so often.
One such example of this is making a goal measureable, you know “I want to lose 10kg my the end of June!”, you are currently at weight X and you want to be weight Y by the end of next month. You can jump on the scales each Monday to see how you are getting on.
Sound advice! But hey haven’t we heard this sooooo many times before, it is now a case of this goal setting thing is kinda boring so lets not bother.
And what happens if/when you reach the target weight, what happens then? We could dance a merry jig, pat yourself on the back and say well done :o) In my experience I have seen people reach a target weight and still not be happy with their body shape. It is no wonder goal setting gets a bad reputation!
One of the key aspects of our Goal Achievement Strategy is to do with getting excited by your goal, getting excited in the sense of being a kid all over again, that it keeps us awake at night with excitement. Here is a goal I have just thought of which I am sure most people would get excited/interested in.
“I want at least 5 people to tell me, completely unprovoked, how great I am looking, by the end of June. Not only will this make all my efforts feel worthwhile, but it will make the process of getting a body worth commenting on much more enjoyable.”
Everyone loves a bit of this kinda compliment, it is certainly a lot more rewarding than the numbers on the scales…
Last Friday, i did a talk with a fantastic group of people, (thanks to Tower Training for the invite!)
One of the questions/comments from the group related to how inefficient the human body is. You see the body utilises around 60% of the fuel(food) we take in to keep it functioning, and that is before we start moving and exercising!
60% is an awful lot of the energy we consume, when we are doing NOTHING!
As a fitness professional, the aim for me is create bodies that are even more INefficient! I want to make your body work harder and consume more energy to keep itself functioning on a day to day basis, whilst you are doing NOTHING.
Going back to the car analogy from last week, if you had a Renault Espace and ferrari sitting with the engines running but not moving, the ferrari would consume more fuel… Because it is a ferrari it has a sleek, sexy body, however the Renault Espace is fat and frumpy.
If you create a bigger engine for your body, you will develop a sleeker, sexier body, as you will strip away the fat. This bigger engine I am talking about is more muscle in the body which will in turn burn more calories to survive even when you are sat doing nothing! Creating larger muscle is easy, just using your muscles with short bouts of efforts to fatigue them will create larger muscle fibers.
This means resistance workouts, utilising your body weight and at times external weights too.
If you are not doing these exercises already, add them in from today and start creating a ferrari body and not a Renault Espace one!
