With all of the different diets and advice available about food and nutrition it is not suprising people are confused. Our
own research and desire for the correct information has taken many years. We hope that by sharing what we we have found and
what has worked for us you can get the results you deserve.
The main thing we have discovered is that to
maintain a healthy weight restricted calorie diets are not sustainable. A healthly diet has to be varied, tasty
and still include your favourite foods. If it is boring and restrictive it is almost impossible to maintain for any
period of time.
We have found the following two systems or diets, if you would like to call them that, to
be the best for us.
The Every Other Day Diet and Eat Stop Eat.

The Skinny on Fats
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it
with you. ]
Let's get this one out in the open:
1. Fats do not make you gain bodyfat.
2.
Fats do not put you on Heart Attack Row.
3. Fats are not the enemy.
We've been sold a bag of lies
when it comes to fats.
Fats are essential for your body's hormone production, skin health, absorption of fat-soluble
vitamins, and even burning bodyfat. Yep... you need fats to burn fat.!
Studies have been conducted to attempt to
elevate cholesterol levels using high-fat diets. Most all of them have failed miserably -- in fact several "lowered"
total cholesterol while raising the so-called "good" cholesterol (HDL).
That being said, you don't
need the following...
1. A lot of fats in your diet. Fats still contain over twice the calories per gram as carbs
and protein.
2. Any kind of "fake fats" -- margarine or processed oils of any kind are highly dangerous
foods.
Here's my simple dietary fats solution:
1. Eat fats as they occur in nature, but eat at least
80% as they "actually" occur in nature -- meaning from grass-fed and free-range sources. The extra cost is worth
it. It tastes better and your medical costs will well offset the few dollars more per pound you pay.
2. Cook with
a combination of olive oil and coconut oil, but use both sparingly. If you are eating plenty of animal protein you do not
need excessive fats... not because of 'danger' but because of needless calories. Not a good idea if you're wanting
to keep your abs. But a bit of raw butter or olive oil can make bland veggies taste wonderful, so feel freee.
Also,
omega 3-rich fats like olive oil and fish (and especially fish oil) help lower inflammation. That's the real culprit behind
heart disease in most cases.
3. Avoid a lot of fats at night. The night-time meals should be high in lean protein
(tuna, tofu, turkey breast) with very limited fats if you are wanting to really get lean. If you are just trying to shed bodyweight
slowly, it's okay to have some fats at night.
Just do me a favor: If you are on the "Fats make you gain
bodyfat and have heart attacks" bandwagon, jump off. We have consumed fat for countless thousands of years. Just consume
it the way we always HAVE (naturally, not stuffed with hormones and cooked up in a lab) and you'll be fine.
If
you want a diet-solution that actually uses dietary fats to help you take off the bodyfat, then use this one:
It's a real-world plan that allows you to eat your favorite foods and still shed the bodyweight you want.
And yes -- that includes fats.

4 Fatloss Tricks No One Tells You About
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Editor's Note: Fitness
author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
There's a club
you should join.
It's called The Insider's Club.
It is that club whose membership is based only
on what secret goodies the members possess.
In our case, this is the Fatloss Insider's Club. Only those in
the know can join.... freee to them of course... : )
So, if you want to get rid of some lbs...
FATLOSS
TRICK 1
Eat Pizza?
Today I went for some New York-style pizza here in Austin, Texas.
Do I feel
'guilty'? No way... in fact tomorrow I will feel LEANER.
What the what?
I had to set up my body
for this bit of metabolic trickery of course. You cannot just "eat pizza" and shed the pounds... I wish you could!
But my personal System for fatloss not only "allows" pizza (and all my other favorite foods)... it DEMANDS
that I eat it.
Here's another true story: I blew off my "feed meal" (that's what it is called
in my System) four days ago. I have been on a massive fatloss roll for weeks now and frankly I just did not feel like eating
a lot.
That's another benefit of my System... it really cuts your appetite and food-cravings down.
Anyway, the next day in the gym I fell on my face! I was weaker and not any leaner. I went home, ate literally about 6000
cals and presto: Leaner than 'ever' the next day and ready to train hard.

FATLOSS TRICK 2
The 10-Minute Cardio Trick
If you want to just get into good heart health,
you only need GXP Cardio (covered in the System mentioned above) 2-3 days per week for 9-15 minutes. That's it.
However if you want to use "smart cardio" (not long, boring cardio) then you need a bit more. Just a bit.
It's my 10-minute trick.
Start with just every other day. Then move to 4 days... and then 5.
If
you are pressed for time, this is ideal. Even if you are not, it works like magic.
10 minutes in the morning 'before'
you eat. Just make sure your heart rate is only about 65% of your max... in other words, you are not breathing super-heavy
at all, but you are working up a sweat. That's it.
10 minutes 'before' lunch. Just cut your lunch hour
short by 10 minutes... that's all. You don't sweat enough to need a shower... don't worry. Walking stairs works
great, or walking outside... be creative!
Then 10 'harder' minutes about 2 hours before you go to sleep.
Get your heart rate up to where you are breathing a little harder.
That's it.
You can even start
with just two sessions of 10 minutes (morning and night) if lunch is out.
FATLOSS TRICK 3
Increase Your
Fat?
Yep. I want you to eat more dietary-fat.... but I want you to replace some of your carbohydrates (starch like
rice, potatoes, etc.) with healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil and almonds.
Fat dulls the appetite and all
three of the fats above actually help your body get rid of its fat-stores if you decrease carbs.
I have the plan
laid out for you. More here:
http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com
FATLOSS TRICK 4
Think Resistance
Far better than cardio will ever be. That would be resistance
training.
Either weight training or in-home resistance training using bands and bodyweight. Studies confirm what
we fitness pros already know: Resistance training not only sculpts the body (cardio cannot) but it also burns 9-12x more bodyfat
over the long-term than cardio.
But you need both. And both cardio and resistance training (in-home or in the gym)
is worked into my book "7 Minute Body."

Sorry... EODD Readers Only.... so pick it up today.
Are you an emotional eater?
Emotions can be deadly.
At least when it comes to eating.
And the VAST majority of us are "emotional eaters." And that
leads to excess bodyfat.
We eat when we are stressed-out.
We eat when we are overly happy.
We eat when we are depressed.
And when you eat like this you can kiss your fatloss goodbye.
There's
a 4-minute video that I want you to watch today.
It is touching, funny, and very powerful all at the same time.
And it will help you come to terms with emotional eating.
