The Basics of Weight Loss The basic concept of weight loss is very easy to grasp. In order to lose weight you need to consume fewer calories than your body burns. We gain fat by taking in more calories than our body can get rid of. The same goes for losing weight. We lose weight by consuming fewer calories than our body burns. One pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories. This will be the basis behind our weight loss program. As you know food contains calories. The reason eating too much food leads to weight gain is because you are consuming more calories than your body is able to burn.

Formula for Weight Loss You can look at it this way: • The number of calories eaten – The number of calories burned = Fat In order to lose weight, the “Fat” value must be a negative number. There are several ways to create a calorie deficit and those include: • Eating fewer calories • Aerobic exercise • Weight training Now I know this sounds very basic, and it is. The thing that makes everything more complicated is simply the fact that there is so much hearsay in the world of fitness. Keep this simple formula in mind while continuing through the weight loss program and you will be a step ahead of the rest.

Weight Loss Factors Metabolism Another factor that we will be trying to overcome is that of metabolism. Metabolism is simply the rate at which we burn the calories that we have consumed during each day. There are a number of factors that determine the speed of your metabolism.

How can I speed up my metabolism? Food The first of which is the food you eat which includes factors such as how many meals you eat, what kind of food you eat, and how much you eat during each sitting. These are things that weʼll be able to change in order to speed up your metabolism. Lean Body Mass Some people are born with the ability to carry more lean body mass than others without exercising. This is just something you will have to live with. However, if you noticed I said “without exercising”. By exercising correctly you can increase your lean body mass substantially.

© 2004 free-weight-loss-resources.com

Body fat Percentage The more fat your body has, the slower your metabolism will be. By exercising you will both decrease your body fat, while increasing your lean body mass. So itʼs a win-win situation. Age Studies show that after the age of 20, our bodies lose 1/3 to 1/2 pound of muscle tissue per year if we do not exercise on a regular basis. This is the very reason that our metabolism slows as we age. Remember, it is muscle that burns calories, not fat. If we lose 1/3 to 1/2 pounds of muscle every year after the age of 25 our percentage of body fat rises significantly. So it isnʼt simply a matter of getting older that causes our metabolism to slow down. It is a matter of losing lean muscle; however there is hope. We can and will do something about this. I will show you exactly what youʼll need to do so this never happens.

Several ways to increase your metabolism include: 1.) Eating more and eat more often

By “eating more” I donʼt mean to shovel in more food at one sitting. I mean to eat smaller meals throughout the day, five to six meals. This equates to a meal every 2 _ to three hours. Each of these feedings should consist of 30 percent carbohydrates, 60 percent protein and 10 percent fat. The combination of small balanced, frequent meals allows your body to utilize the nutrients it needs when it needs them. Because our bodies are made for survival it begins to hoard fat if it feels like it wonʼt get food for a long time. Basically, if you starve your body it will go into starvation mode. Our bodies are made to first use the nutrients in the food we eat for energy. When the nutrients run out, the body resorts to energy from the muscles (you will lose lean muscle mass. You donʼt want this), then finally your body resorts to the bodies fat supply. This is why fad diets never work.

I will cover more on fad diets later on. Also, these smaller, more frequent meals stimulate your metabolic rate as your bodyʼs digestive system works and you maintain a stable glucose level. This will give you more energy, prevent hunger pains and keep you from bingeing. 2.) Work out intensely with weights High intensity weight training is an excellent way to increase your metabolism. Lifting weights places a high demand on your body to burn more calories for faster growth and recuperation. Your muscle mass is the single most important factor in determining how many calories you burn because itʼs a very metabolically active tissue. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn - even at rest. 3.) Aerobic exercise You should perform some type of cardiovascular exercise at least 3 times per week and youʼll not only burn calories, but also speed up your metabolism. Always keep this in mind while doing your cardiovascular exercise.

What is Target Heart Rate? (THR)

To get the maximum benefit you your heart must beat at a certain rate per minute. This is called Target Heart rate or THR. You can measure your heart rate by taking your pulse, or with some type of heart rate monitor which you can find at most sport and fitness stores. Your target heart rate is between 60 and 80 percent of your maximum heart rate. Here is how to calculate your target heart rate: 1. Take 220 – Age in years; This will give you your maximum heart rate (MHR) 2. Multiply your MHR by .6 (MHR x .6 = the lower end of your target heart rate) 3. Multiply your MHR by .8 (MHR x .8 = the upper end of your target heart rate)

For example: for a 32 year old person: 1. 220 – 32 = 188. 188 is my MHR 2. 188 x .6 = 112.8 is my lower end 3. 188 x .8 = 150.4 is my upper end In this example my target heart rate would be anywhere from 112.8 beats per minute to 150.4 beats per minute. Important: In order to get the most out of your exercise you should maintain your target heart rate for at least 20 minutes.

Body Mass Index (BMI) What is BMI? A great way to determine if you are overweight is to calculate your body mass index. Find out below if your Body Mass Index puts you at risk. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the most accurate ways to determine when extra pounds translate into health risks.

What is a Healthy BMI? BMI is a measure which takes into account a personʼs weight and height to gauge total body fat in adults. Someone with a BMI of 26 to 27 is about 20 percent overweight, which is generally believed to carry moderate health risks. A BMI of 30 and higher is considered obese. The higher the BMI, the greater the risk you have of developing additional health problems. Heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure are all linked to being overweight. A BMI of 30 and over increases the risk of death from any cause by 50 to 150 percent, according to some estimates. Some more facts; in June of 1998, the federal government announced guidelines which create a new definition of a healthy weight -- a BMI of 24

or less. So now a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. Individuals, who fall into the BMI range of 25 to 34.9, and have a waist size of over 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women, are considered to be at especially high risk for health problems.

How Do You Calculate BMI? (If you donʼt want to do the math yourself you can use the calculators I have included as a bonus with this e-Book. There are also some great weight loss calculators at my website.) The formula is calculated as follows: BMI = [weight in pounds / height in inches x height in inches] x 703 • BMI less than 19 means you are underweight • BMI between 19 and 24 means you are in the healthy range • BMI between 25 and 26 means you are slightly overweight • BMI between 27 and 29 means you are significantly overweight • BMI between 30 and 34 means you are obese • BMI between 35 and 39 means you are severely obese • BMI over 39 means you are morbidly obese

Weight Loss Calculations

Ideal Body Weight Calculation

Letʼs take me for example. I am 6 feet 1 inches tall.

Use this to calculate your ideal body weight

Step 1) I wrap my hand around my wrist and note that my fingers do not touch so I have a large frame.

1. First you need to determine your body frame type. To determine this, wrap your right hand around your left wrist. If your thumb and index finger overlap each other you have a small frame type. If your thumb and index finger slightly touch, you have a medium frame type, and if your thumb and index figure do not touch, you have a large frame type. 2. If you are a woman add 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of your height, then add 5 pounds for each inch thereafter.

Step 2) I add 100 pounds for the first 5 feet, then 6 pounds for the next 13 inches to reach 6 feet 1 inches. 100 + (6 x 13) = 178 Step 3) I then add 10 more pounds because I have a large frame 178 + 10 = 188 So 188 pounds is my ideal body weight.

If you are a man add 106 pounds for the first 5 feet of your height, then add 6 pounds for each inch thereafter. 3. Once you come up with this number, add the following based on your frame type you figured out in step 1. Add 10 pounds for a large frame size, and subtract 10 pounds for a small frame size. If you are a medium frame size donʼt add anything extra. © 2004 free-weight-loss-resources.com

How Many Calories Do You Need to Lose Weight? Now that we know this we can calculate how many calories per day your body needs to burn in order to maintain your current weight depending on your level of activity. 1. Donʼt do anything: Take your BMR x 1.2 2. Slightly active (You go through a normal days activities...) Take BMR x 1.3

What is Basic Metabolic Rate? (BMR) Ok, now weʼre going to calculate how many calories youʼll need to consume in order to lose weight. To do this we first need to calculate your Basic Metabolic Rate or BMR. BMR is the amount of calories your body burns each day to carry out its normal functions. The first formula is for women: BMR = 655 + [4.37 x weight in pounds] + [4.32 x height in inches] – (4.7 x your age) The second formula is for men: BMR = 66 + [6.21 x weight in pounds] + [12.7 x height in inches] – (6.8 x your age)

3. You are moderately active which means you exercise 3 to 4 times per week: Tale BMR x 1.5 4. You are very active meaning you exercise between 4 and 6 times per week: Take BMR x 1.7 5. You are super active meaning you exercise over 6 times per week for more than 60 minutes each time: Take BMR x 1.9 The number you get is the amount of calories you need to consume in order to maintain your current weight. Now remember as I mentioned above, one pound is equal to 3500 calories. In theory, if you want to lose 1 pound a week you simply need to cut out 3500 calories from your diet within those 7 days.

PLAN 14

Ultimate Weight Loss Revealed by Brad Callen

Ultimate Weight Loss Revealed Program Setting Goals Before we go any further you need to do a few very specific things to prepare yourself for the chapters that follow. The most important step in losing weight is simply setting goals. Youʼll be surprised how powerful simply writing down exactly what you want to achieve within the next several months. When I say, setting goals, I donʼt mean simply saying “I want to lose weight.” That goal is much too broad. Try to be as specific as possible. For example, a goal could be, “I want to lose 3 pounds in 1 week.” Or “by week 4 I want to be in the habit of eating the right foods.” Below, you will find a page set solely for you to list all of the goals you want to achieve in the next 3 months. The goals donʼt have to revolve entirely around this program. 3 months from now, you will be a better, happier person by doing this and achieving the goals youʼre about to list.

Are you done? Now list 10 reasons why you want to achieve each of the goals listed above.

PLAN 15

Ok, weʼre almost done. Now that youʼve come up with enough reasons to achieve the body you want, I want you now to come with as many reasons why staying where you are will be hurtful. And I want you to phrase these VERY negatively.

Now that youʼve finished doing this little exercise you have everything you need to begin the transformation. Anytime along the way that you feel like you want to quit, refer back to this list.

Read through all of it and remember how you felt when you wrote your goals, your reasons why you want to achieve those goals, and the reasons why staying where you are would be hurtful. This will help keep you motivated and focused.

PLAN 17

The last and final thing to do is to take a before and after picture of yourself. I know you may not want to do this, but it is very important and can play a huge role in motivating yourself throughout this 3 month period.

Take 1 full body front picture and 1 full body back picture in a bathing suit. Once you have done this, place the before pictures on the following pages. After the 3 month period is up, take 2 after pictures and place them next to your before pictures. Then gloat over your accomplishments

PLAN 18

Finally, you must keep a food diary. The more organized you are during this process, the more apt you will be of continuing the program and the more results you will see. This may seem tedious, but trust me. Not only will this help you to stay focused, but you can also look back after the 3 month period and can be proud about how successful you were. On the following pages you will find a food diary template you should use to keep track of your daily meals.

Harmful Weight Loss Supplements The first avenue I would like to delve into is that of weight loss supplements. By weight loss supplements I do not mean, and I repeat, I do not mean fat burners. They work, but can be as bad for you as taking illegal drugs. The idea behind fat burners is that most of them contain amphetamine (ephedra) or active ingredients which theoretically raise metabolism and help the body burn fat. Ephedrine alkaloids are amphetamine-like compounds used in OTC and prescription drugs with potentially lethal stimulant effects on the central nervous system and heart. What they do is stimulate your body to elevate your heart rate. This creates an effect that will cause your body to burn more calories to keep your heart rate elevated, thus losing weight. Using fat burners has been clinically proven time and time again to cause unpleasant and in some circumstances even death! Stay away from them. Statistics show that Over 800 injuries have been reported by users and doctors to the FDA and various state medical bodies, including more than 50 deaths. Most of these cases involve the heart attacks or high blood pressure leading to bleeding in the brain or stroke. Possible adverse effects of ephedrine range from:

DIET 23

• heart attack • stroke • seizures • psychosis • death

... to clinically less significant effects that may indicate the potential for more serious effects. For example: • dizziness • headache • gastrointestinal distress • irregular heartbeat • heart palpitations Ingredient panels on these products may list things such as ma huang, Chinese ephedra, ma huang extract, ephedra, ephedra sinica, ephedra extract, ephedra herb powder, or epitonin, all of which indicate a source of ephedrine. With this said, why would anyone ever want to take such a fat burner? Youʼve got me… People need to know that just because a product is labeled to be “Natural” that it doesnʼt necessarily mean it is safe. Some of the more popular ephedra fat burners you may have tried or are familiar with include: • Twin Labʼs Ripped Fuel • Xenadrine • Stacker 2 and 3 • Muscle Techʼs Hydroxycut • Pro Labʼs Thermothyrolean Unless the fat burner explicitly says ephedra free then it more than likely contains ephedra.

Healthy Weight Loss Supplements Now letʼs talk about some good diet supplements. These are the ones that have been proven to work and are actually healthy.

Lean DynamX The first of which is a supplement by EAS called Lean DynamX. Scientific support over the last decade has supported the 3 main active ingredients in Lean DynamX. The ingredients are HMB, CLA, and L-Carnitine L-Tartrate. HMB HMB even has the OK from those on the International Olympic Committee. HMB is a substance formed naturally when the body breaks down the amino acid leucine. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and proteins are the building blocks of muscle. To make muscle, your body has to undergo what is called protein synthesis. The idea is that if you ingest your amino acids, youʼll be able to increase protein and increase lean muscle mass while decreasing fat percentage. But the other theory with it is that you can also help reduce the amount of muscle breakdown [caused by strength training] if you take the amino acids.

CLA The second ingredient, CLA is itʼs able to block the step of little fat cells getting bigger. Also, studies have been shown that CLA made it easier for people to stay on their diets. L-Carnitine, L-Tartrate Finally, the third ingredient L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, Studies have shown that supplementing with this ingredient raises ATP(This is what supplies your body with energy) levels in various tissues, decreases the susceptibility to fatigue, and increases the rate of recovery after strenuous physical activity. Lean DynamX is one of the supplements my wife has taken and she has seen results using the supplement. On a side note, an excellent place to purchase supplements online is www.vitaglo.com. You will receive your order within 5 business days maximum, usually within 3 business days. This is where I buy all of my supplements and I highly recommend them. They are, on average, 40% cheaper than GNC.

Betagen Another popular weight loss supplement is Betagen. Betagen is very similar to Lean DynamX. The major difference between the two is that Betagen contains more HMB which is more geared for those interested in gaining more muscle. The main thing to remember when searching for diet products is to find those that are ephedra free.

EXERCISE 26

Ultimate Weight Loss Revealed by Brad Callen

Aerobic Exercise The second weight loss method I would like to talk about is aerobic exercise. There are many forms of aerobic exercise. Various types, which Iʼm sure youʼre familiar with include: • Running • Bicycling • Swimming • cross country skiing • jumping rope • stair climbing • aerobic dance • inline skating The most inexpensive and best aerobic exercise is running or jogging and guess what? This is also the least exciting of all of the forms of aerobic exercise. Very few people actually enjoy jogging; however, the benefits of running can be tremendous if done correctly. I recently spoke to a friend of mine that is a personal trainer as well. He has noticed a very interesting trend. He did agree that most of his clients did absolutely hate jogging; however, when he made his clients jog two to four times per week for two to three months they almost always love jogging! He mentioned that jogging can be very addicting

and I can vouch for that as my wife has run two mini-marathons since she first began jogging! So if you do decide to jog, watch out because you just may become a “runner”.

Maximize Weight Loss The absolute best time to perform aerobic exercise is in the morning on an empty stomach. The reason for this is because throughout the night hours your body goes through a short state of fasting. While asleep you go anywhere from 6 to 10 hours without any food. When you wake up your body is totally depleted of all nutrients. If you run on an empty stomach, instead of burning off the calories contained in the food stored by your body, you are burning off fat molecules from your body because there is no food reserve left from the small fasting the night before. As we all know, the nutrients found in food is our source of energy. As we exercise, our body breaks down those nutrients and uses it for energy. Once the nutrients are depleted the body begins burning stored fat. This fat may be located around the thighs or hips, around the

morning running is the last thing anyone wants to do.

To give you an example, Say “Jane” ate a medium sized meal including a ham sandwich, some potato chips, applesauce and a glass of milk. 10 minutes later Jane decided to go for 25 minute jog. As Janeʼs jogging, her body is constantly searching for sources of energy, grabbing all of it from the food she just ate for lunch, not burning any fat whatsoever.

Now, Iʼm not telling you that performing aerobic activity in the morning is a must, but I am saying that you should never perform aerobic activity within 1 hour of a meal if you plan to optimize your weight loss.

After about 20 minutes all of the nutrients from the food have been depleted and her body finally begins burning the stored fat around her hips. The last 5 minutes go by and Jane is finished jogging. Although sheʼs very tired and feels as though sheʼs had a great workout and has burned off a lot of fat, she in essence, only burned off 5 minutes worth of fat because her stomach was full of food before she ran. If Jane had gone jogging first thing in the morning when her bodyʼs food supply was at an all time low she would have been burning fat from minute 1 and thus would have burned off 400 times more than she had if she would have eaten before jogging. Make sense? Itʼs the little things that so many people donʼt know. Itʼs not the idea that is hard, but we think, “I finished eating; wow I have so much more energy. I really feel like jogging a little bit.” Whereas, in the

Running As you know running obviously targets the lower body. The main areas you will notice a loss of weight include the quadriceps (front of your upper leg), the hamstrings (area of your leg directly beneath your buttocks), hip flexors (the area where your leg attaches to your hip), and the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (your calves). These tend to be the areas most women want to lose weight first. I definitely recommend this as an excellent way to burn fat from the places we all want to burn fat the most.

Stair Climber Another excellent way of burning fat from the same areas, plus working the calves is stair climbing. The main thing you need to remember with stair climbing is that you will need to really push yourself to elevate your target heart rate for over 20 minutes. If you are serious

Proper Diet The third method of weight loss is proper dieting. This in itself is the most overlooked part of weight loss programs.

metabolism which is what you need to do to lose weight permanently.

Many people believe that if you either A. Take lots of diet pills or B. Exercise your behind off in the gym, you will lose weight. This is simply not the case if your eating habits arenʼt much better than just good.

The following are foods that are great in nutritional value. If your diet consists of these foods, you will have absolutely no problem changing your physique.

The old saying, “You are what you eat” really holds true with weight loss. It took me 7 years to figure this out. The reason you see amazing before and after pictures of people in magazines and on television are because in their before picture their diets are so poor that they look very bad in their before picture. Many times the people are actually working out with weights and are performing aerobic exercise thinking they can eat whatever they want because they are exercises on a daily basis. For many of us this is simply not the case at all. By eating healthy, I donʼt mean eating 3 times a day from the four food groups like you learn in Elementary School. You need to follow a very strict meal plan to increase your

What Can I Eat?

The Following foods are excellent sources of protein: • • • • • • •

chicken breast turkey lean ground beef cottage cheese tuna egg whites baked fish (salmon, cod, trout, bass) • lobster • skim milk • beef tenderloin • pork Note: (Each gram of protein contains 4 calories) The Following foods are excellent sources of carbohydrates: • Rice (brown, white) • fruits (apple, orange, banana) • pasta

• baked potato • whole wheat bread • multigrain bars • oatmeal

Note: (Each gram of carbohydrates contains 4 calories) The Following foods are excellent vegetables: • Green beans • Celery • Corn • Cauliflower • Mushrooms • Beats • Pumpkin • Tomato • Carrots • Lettuce • Cabbage • Cucumber • brussel sprouts

Remember, a meal consists of 1 item from each category in the chart above. If you do this, not only will your metabolism speed up, but so will your energy level and youʼll never be hungry during the day. It sounds pretty easy, doesnʼt it? Well it really is. Now, I know what some of you may be thinking. Healthy foods taste so bland and boring. Take a look back at the list and Iʼm sure youʼll reconsider. Much of the foods in the chart are ones you probably already include in your diet.

Arenʼt Fats Bad? You should also include healthy fat into your diet. Each gram of fat contains 9 calories. Youʼre probably thinking that all fat is bad. Well, believe it or not, it isnʼt.

Note: (vegetables are very low in calories and have no fat) You should pick an item from each of the 3 categories to make up a meal. You should eat 5 to 6 small meals each day. Yes, I did say 5 to 6 SMALL meals. As I stated above, one of the 3 ways to increase your metabolism is by eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. It sounds crazy, but it really does work. You will want to space out the meals evenly throughout the day; planning a meal about every three hours. © 2004 free-weight-loss-resources.com

There are three types of fats: • saturated fats • mono-unsaturated fats • and poly-unsaturated fats Saturated Fats Saturated fats are the bad fats. These are the fats that cause peoples arties to get clogged. Itʼs the fat found in butter, margarine, or shortening. Stay away from these as best as you can. Granted, a little, and I mean, very little amount of butter on some of your foods wonʼt hurt, but donʼt pile on the butter.

Mono-unsaturated fats The “good fats”. They are found to lower your blood cholesterol level. This kind of fat raises HDL (good cholesterol) and lowers LDL (bad cholesterol). You can find this kind of fat in: • canola • Peanut • olive oils Itʼs best to use these in place of butter when cooking. Poly-unsaturated fat This kind of fat is found mainly in vegetable oils, except tropical oils like coconut and palm oils. This type of fat is thought to lower both HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol). You should limit this to less than 30% of your daily fat intake. A simple principle that is used to tell if a fat is good or bad is whether or not it is solid at room temperature. If it is, then itʼs most likely unhealthy. For example, a stick of butter and a few others are solid at room temperature and contain unhealthy fats. However, others like sesame, and canola oils are liquid at room temperature and are healthy fats. You should consume about one tablespoon worth of healthy fats each day. The following are foods you should

DIET 31

try your best to stay away from: • fried foods • poultry skin • bacon • sausage • candy • cheese • salad dressings • gravy • processed foods

A relatively unknown fact is that most processed foods in stores are stripped of all fiber and many other nutrients. Because they lack fiber they tend to not be filling, so people have the tendency to eat more and more processed foods in one sitting.

Most Important Meals Do you know what the two most important meals of the day are for dieters? The two most important meals are breakfast and your post-workout meal. In theory, you should eat your biggest meal in the morning and smallest in the evening. The reason being, your metabolic rate is accelerated in the morning and slows down in the evening. Youʼre body is more likely to use the calories from breakfast throughout the day, instead of storing them as fat.

This is why you should never eat large meals in the evening hours. You are more than likely not doing anything in the evening hours to burn off the calories. While you sleep, those calories you ate late that evening get stored as fat. Not a good thing. Now letʼs talk about the second most important meal of the day, the post-workout meal. Following exercise, the body has an elevated metabolic rate and elevated cortisol levels; thus a lack of nutrients following exercise results in muscle-tissue breakdown. Basically what this means is that you must ensure that you have plenty of fuel for your body directly after you finish working out; if not, your body will simply search for other sources of fuel. Because there is no fuel in the form of food, your body will begin to break itself down, thus negating all the work youʼve put in at the gym. So, make sure your post-workout meal is rich in protein and carbohydrates. Protein builds muscle and is the main fuel you will need to help your muscles recover and get stronger. Without protein your muscles have no fuel to recover. The optimal time frame to consume a protein rich meal, or protein shake is within 60-90 minutes following a workout. Other optimal times include directly before you go to sleep at night and first thing in the morning.

The Importance of Water Another very important part of your diet will consist of drinking plenty of water. The number one benefit of water unbeknownst to most people is that drinking plenty of water can actually aid in weight loss. Youʼre body actually requires more water to metabolize properly, and to maintain a healthy weight. A general rule is to drink two 8 ounce glasses of water before every meal. What I usually do is fill up a glass of water and drink it while cooking my meal. Then fill up the same glass again and drink it with my meal. This will ensure that you are getting an adequate amount of water each day. If you do this, you will also notice you wonʼt be as hungry during each meal. I canʼt stress the importance of water enough. Not only does water aid you in weight loss but there are so many benefits of water that so many people overlook. Some of these benefits include: • Keeping headaches from occurring • Reduces infections • Keeps up your concentration

• Helps eliminate the bags under your eyes • Stops cramps • Keeps bowels healthy With all those benefits you canʼt afford not to drink water.

What You Shouldn’t Eat Fad Diets Now that you know what your diet should consist of, let me tell you what your diet should not consist of. Basically, anything that can be labeled as a “Fad Diet” you should avoid at all costs. 100% of the people that try fad diets end up gaining all of their weight back, plus some. The reason these fad diets never work is because in most cases the people on these diets lose a high amount of weight in a short period of time. When this happens your body tends to lose weight by either A. Losing water weight or B. Losing a high amount of lean muscle. After there diet is over they tend to eat the way they did before. If the person is coming out of a starvation diet, the body tried very hard to store the extra energy as fat simply in case of another starvation period. Remember, muscle burns more muscle than fat.

DIET 33

So after this fad diet, the person ends up with less muscle. As they begin to eat normally they gain more fat, thus having a much lower body fat percentage. As time goes by they will eventually gain all of their weight back and then more because they now have less muscle than they began with. There are several ways to tell if a diet is legit or if it is simply a fad diet. Those diets include: • Eating the same foods (Cabbage Soup Diet) • Claiming that you can combine certain foods to help you lose weight • Claims of super fast weight loss (10 pounds a week) • Temporary Diets such as 1 week diets • Claiming that eating certain foods will actually make you lose weight You should stay away from fad diets at all cost. They are nothing but bad news. At the end of the book you will find a giant list of over 100 recipes that contain the proper amount of protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables. Use these to help you stay more organized to lose weight in a healthy way, as fast as possible.

Weight Training

The final method of weight loss I would like to talk about is weight training. Yes, you can lose all the weight you want without weight training; however, to totally reinvent your body you need to add this to your agenda. I see so many people doing plenty of cardio exercise, and eating very well. They do end up losing some weight; however, their overall body remains the same, minus the fat. You must add weight training if you want to change the actual shape of your body, and burn fat 24 hours a day, even while you REST! You must remember this, if you decide to slack off on the cardio, then donʼt waste your time lifting weights. You will only get bulky. Iʼve seen this time and time again. Itʼs a shame to see people spend so much time in the gym, but only to get more bulky and take on the appearance of a wrestler. You must not slack off on the cardio if you want to lose weight. © 2004 free-weight-loss-resources.com

How Long Should I Spend in the Gym? There has been a very big debate as to how many days you should spend weight training. From many years of trial and error Iʼve found that 3 days of weight training is all you need to build muscle and lose fat. Granted, you must really push yourself during those three days to see maximum results. Thatʼs why it is a must that we perform aerobic activity and weight train the correct way. The fact is, you donʼt have to be young and in great shape to walk into a gym. You donʼt have to be at some ultimate level of fitness before you can begin lifting weights. As long as youʼre healthy, you can and should do it. Donʼt feel stupid by walking into a weight room. About 90% of the people in weight rooms donʼt know what in the world theyʼre doing, they just act like it. After reading this you will be among the 10% that do know whatʼs going on and people will be coming up to you asking YOU for advice.

The Truth Behind Weight Training

There are several misconceptions that are found in the world of weight training.

Misconception #1 • One of these is that many believe the longer you workout, the stronger you will get. This couldnʼt be farther from the truth. You see, as weʼre working out weʼre trying to slightly damage our muscle fibers by overloading them to the point of exhaustion. Think of it this way. Say you break a bone in your hand. As your bone heals, it becomes surrounded by layers and layers of cartilage, thus making the bone thicker and stronger than it originally was. This is essentially what happens with weight training; you work out to tear your muscles down. Then you should rest an entire week for that particular muscle group. When itʼs time to work out that particular muscle again it will be firmer and stronger than the previous week. I donʼt want to get too scientific, but that is basically all that happens. Very Important: You must workout hard enough to reach a point where your muscles begin to break down. How will you know how hard is

35

hard enough? Itʼs easy. Say you are working out your biceps (arms) and you are performing 3 sets of dumbbell curls. You are trying to perform 8 repetitions in each set. If, by the 3rd set you can still perform 8 repetitions you are not pushing yourself hard enough. The goal is by the last set you should be fatigued enough that you can do at most 7 repetitions For example, have you ever gone walking, jogging or played a game of basketball without having done that for a very long time? I bet the next couple of days you were very sore. This is a sign that your muscles tore down while you were performing that activity.

During the program, you should always be sore for the next couple of days after weight training. If youʼre not then youʼll need to push yourself harder to see maximum results. The good thing about this is, Iʼll tell you exactly what days, which exercises, how many sets, how many repetitions you should perform. So all youʼll need to do is pick a weight that is appropriate for you and the rest will fall into place.

Misconception #2 • Another misconception many people believe is that to lose weight you must eat less. As you probably know, most people when they set out to lose weight,

theyʼll try eating less or theyʼll up their exercise routine or theyʼll swallow handfuls of diet pills. Some people do a hodge podge of all of the above.

Sure, they might see a few pounds here and there eventually drop, but again itʼs all short term weight loss were talking about that will haunt them again and bring back a few more pounds. Hereʼs what you want to focus on. You want to laser-focus your efforts on raising your metabolism. Thatʼs the master key to almost effortless weight loss. The faster your metabolism burns calories the easier it will be to lose weight. And thus your diet and exercise routines should be designed with that goal in mind. We all know of people who seem to be able to eat whatever they want, without exercising much and yet they gain little if any weight. Obviously these people are blessed with a high metabolism. However most people arenʼt so lucky. And those that are, may be surprised to find their metabolism slows down as they get older. Even though you may not have a fast metabolism, take heart in knowing that your genetics only account for 20%. Meaning you have an 80% potential to determine how many calories your metabolism will burn and how © 2004 free-weight-loss-resources.com

your body will look.

As I said earlier, Iʼve seen many people take the shot gun approach, hoping something will stick instead of directly targeting the metabolism to make it run faster. Now YOU know the 3 keys to speeding up your metabolism and youʼre well on your way to successful weight loss

Misconception #3 • Muscle weighs more than fat. That statement is not entirely true. Muscle tissue is more dense than fat, so if you lost five pounds of fat and gained five pounds of muscle the scale wouldnʼt show a difference but your pants sure would. With that said, think about how dramatic of a change it would be to lose just 10 pounds of fat, while at the same time, gain 5 pounds of muscle. That is how you ”transform” your body. Fat doesnʼt actually turn into muscle. You simply replace fat with muscle. If you are trying to lose weight and look thinner, and only plan to lift weights, youʼre wasting your time. The reason is as you are lifting weights you are tearing your muscles down, like I said earlier. The week goes by and your muscles have time to repair themselves and are stronger than the previous week, which is what you want.

However, the muscle is now lying under a layer of fat. What do you think happens when the muscle gets stronger and firmer? As the muscles get stronger and firmer it begins to push out the fat, thus making you look larger than before. So although you are stronger than the previous week, all you have managed to do is make yourself appear bigger than before. You must, and I repeat, you must perform a cardiovascular exercise as well as train with weights. You must burn the fat off while you are building muscle underneath the fat.

Like I said above, building muscle does not replace fat. You must perform a cardiovascular exercise to burn off the fat. I have a funny example I like to use when referring to working out your abs. Iʼm sure you have seen the reality television show, Survivor. Have you noticed by the last episode several of the people have six-packs? Their stomachs appear firmer and more muscular than ever.

You should select different exercises every 4 weeks. The reason for this is because after this time frame your body adapts to the exercises, sets, and repetitions you are performing. If this happens you will notice your gains begin to slow down and become complacent. For more exercises I have provided a separate bonus included with this e-Book. The Ultimate Weight Loss Revealed Training guide has over 75 more exercises for your convenience. Refer to that guide when you are tired of the exercises listed above. 5. Finally, you can also “supplement” your regular diet with some type of weight loss supplement. Take a look at the weight loss supplement I mentioned from www.a-weightloss-diet-pill.com below. 6. Donʼt forget to utilize the giant list of authorized recipes Iʼve included below as well as the exercise guide at the very end of the e-Book.

Sometimes the thought of having eggs without the yolks is too much for true egg lovers, but try them alone one time. Most people find the substitution really easy on the pallet and can easily make the switch. Olive oil is pretty much universally accepted as one of the nutritional good guys, but during fat burning you will probably have to substitute a fat free cooking spray for the olive oil in this recipe

When you get a nice whirlpool with the blender (the secret to making meal replacement shakes), slowly put the meal replacement powder in, letting it stir. if the mixture gets too thick, add a little milk or water if you run out of milk. the extra fat in the soy milk will thicken up the mixture a great deal. When youʼve blended the whole thing (adding water or ice cubes to desired thickness), scoop into a bowl and leave in the fridge or freezer. Eat no later than 3 hours before bed though, as most meal replacements have a high glycemic index and a good amount of carbs. Nutrition Information

This soup is great with or without meat. I make mine with turkey but you can add chicken breast too. It can also be pureed after cooking (and before adding the meat) for a thick and hearty texture.

Ingredients

5 Servings

• 4 c. Summer Squash (washed & sliced) • 1 c. Chopped onion • 1 can (14.5 oz.) Diced Tomato (no salt added) • 1 can (4 oz.) Chopped Green Chilies (drained) • 20 oz. Ground Turkey Breast • 1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper • Mrs. Dash (to taste) • 2 c. Chicken Broth (fat free, low sodium) • 2 tbs. Rice Wine Vinegar • 1 Lrg. Bay Leaf

Preparation Instructions

Brown ground turkey in a non-stick skillet & set aside. Place squash in a large pot & add enough water to cover squash. Add chopped onion, tomatoes, chilies, broth, vinegar and seasonings (do NOT crush bay leaf - it will add flavor to soup but will not soften while cooking). Bring ingredients to a soft boil, then reduce to medium heat, cover and simmer until squash is very soft. Remove bay leaf, add browned turkey & cook an additional 10 minutes. Nutrition Information

Ingredients

4 Servings

• • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1 cup fat free yogurt 1 small onion, coarsely chopped 4 garlic cloves 1 1/2 piece ginger root, peeled and coarsely chopped 2 tsp. ground coriander 1 tsp. ground cumin 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground clove 1/4 tsp. ground mace 1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg 1 Tbsp. canola oil Juice of 1/2 lemon (2 to 3 Tbsp.) 2 whole chicken breasts, split and skinned

Preparation Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In blender or food processor, combine yogurt, onion, garlic and ginger, and mix. Add coriander, cumin, turmeric,

cinnamon, cloves, mace, nutmeg, oil and lemon juice; blend. 2. Cut 2 slits in each piece of chicken, slashing it along the grain to make slit 2 to 3 inches long and almost but not completely into bone. Place chicken in plastic bag or a glass, stainless steel or plastic container large enough to hold the pieces in one layer. Pour yogurt mixture over the chicken and rub to be sure it coats the meat on all sides. Marinate chicken in refrigerator one hour to overnight. 3. Arrange chicken in one layer in shallow baking dish. Bake until juices run clear when breast is pierced with knife at its thickest point and no pink shows in center, 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of breasts. Serve, accompanied by cooked basmati rice and a green salad. Options: Let the chicken cool and use to make an Indian chicken salad, with green peas, mango, scallions and cooked rice in a yogurt dressing with chutney. Nutrition Information

Turkey Tacos P/C/F Ratio: 16/62/21

Spicy taco meal that can be dressed up further with avocado and low fat cheese if you have more fat calories to spend...

Many ethnic dishes are easy to convert to PFA-able standards. Grilling instead of frying, using leaner meats, and cutting out excess fats like cheese, oils and cream are some good starts.

Ingredients

1 Servings

• 4 oz raw lean ground turkey (based on 8% ground in PFA. Use leaner for much less fat.) • 2 TB chili powder(or to taste) • 6 corn tortillas • 1 cup shredded lettuce • 1/2 raw diced tomatoe (can cut down sugar by omitting these) • .5 c salsa (Pace)

Preparation Instructions

Nutrition Information

Sauté turkey in non-stick pan until almost cooked - add chili powder and about 1/4 c water, cover, and let cook a few more minutes until turkey is done. Heat corn tortillas on a hot dry griddle (cast iron pan works best) until hot but still pliable (they will bubble a bit). Fill tortillas with turkey, lettuce, tomato and salsa and enjoy...

Sweet potatoes get their name from their high sugar content, but eaten in small servings you can still hit your sugar numbers in the conditioning phase. When you are off-diet and in maintenance mode, they should be a staple of your diet. They are a terrific source of micronutrients (vitamins & minerals).

Ingredients

4 Servings

• 2 lbs Whole uncooked yams (sweet potato) (in produce section @ any grocery store) • I Canʼt Believe itʼs Not Butter spray to taste • Ground Cinnamon to taste • 4 tbs Sugar Twins Brown Sugar substitute

Preparation Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thoroughly scrub Yams leaving the peel on. Pierce each Yam 3-4 times with fork and tightly wrap with tin foil (Helpful Hint - Double wrap each Yam to prevent oven drippings.) Depending on size Yamʼs need to bake for 60 - 90 minutes in oven until soft. Remove from oven and let cool wrapped prior to handling for a minimum of 30 minutes to prevent burns. Unwrap each Yam and carefully peel skin off. To do this, simply make a cut in the skin and peel with your fingers. Once you have all Yams peeled, place in bowl and either using a hand mixer or a

fork completely mash until smooth. Generously spray entire surface with ʻI Canʼt Believe itʼs Not Butterʼ spray and then mix in Cinnamon and Brown Sugar substitute to your desired level of flavor. ***Nutritionally speaking, only count the cooked Yamʼs without skin in either cups or ounces since none of the other ingredients have any caloric value.

Fun Facts

Yams are a vegetable native to Africa. Grown in tropical regions around the world, Yams are a root crop. Though many think they closely resemble sweet potatoes, yams are not related to the sweet potato at all. They are very difficult to find in North America and very few of us have actually eaten a real yam. We typically make no distinction between yams and sweet potatoes, even “canned yams” are really canned sweet potatoes. The name has stuck.

Hammer Curls With Resistance What to do:

You will need a partner for this exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to apply a stress to your muscles which is different than what they would normally experience without a spotter. This will help to add variety to your workout and increase and improve your results. For the person performing the exercise, perform the lift (from bottom to top) exactly the way you would do regular hammer curls. Attach a rope to a cable pulley and adjust it so it is low, close to the floor. Hold the rope so the top part of your fist is touching the knobs of the rope. Bring the elbows slightly forward and spread the hands so they are about shoulder width apart. Keeping the elbows completely stationary curl the arms up so your fists come up towards your shoulders. Here is where your partner comes in. Have your spotter grab on to the rope in the middle and actually pull down on the rope. The person performing the exercise resists the pulling until their arms are fully extended. Then the spotter releases the pressure and allows the person performing the exercise to lift the weight without help or resistance. In summary, the person standing pulls the weight up by their own power and on the way down is resisting the pull from the spotter.

!

Don’t Forget to:

✔

Muscles worked:

Mostly biceps but also muscles of the forearm

Donʼt perform the exercise with your hands close together. Spread them about should width apart or slightly in from that. The resistance on the way down should be constant. If you are one performing the exercise donʼt resist your partner so much that they canʼt pull the rope down on you at all. The purpose is to just give your muscles extra resistance instead of letting gravity to much of the work. Have your partner gage your resistance by telling you: “a little more”, “a little less” etc. Also, once again, make sure your elbows still.

Dip Machine

What to do: The dip machine is a great way to do dips and work the triceps without having to lift you entire body weight. This machine works best if you push the handles down as you sit down. This will save unnecessary torque on the shoulder from trying to reach up to grab the handles. Start with the arms extended and the handles in the down position. Bending at the elbows let the handles come up as far as you can comfortably bend your arms. Push the handles back down to complete the exercise. When finished with your set stand up, still holding on to the handles, and let them come up with you.

!

Don’t Forget to:

Donʼt lean too far forward. A little forward lean is O.K. but if the exercise is too difficult lower the weight instead of compromising your form.

The more weight you set the machine to the easier (i.e. lighter) it will be. For this exercise grab onto the handles of the assisted chin up machine with your hands close together and palms up as shown grip as shown. Kneel down on the knee support and put all of your weight on it. Lean back and arch your back. Let your body go down with the knee support and pull yourself back up.

Alternating Lunges On Bench What to do: Hold two dumbbells to the side of your body. This will make the exercise more challenging and also help your balance by improving your center of gravity. Stand a long stride away from the aerobics step. Lunge forward placing one foot onto the step and bending both knees and going towards the floor. Go down as far as you feel comfortable going. Push off the front foot and return to the starting position. Alternate legs repeating the above with the other leg.

!

Don’t Forget to:

When stepping on the step make sure you entire foot is on the the step. Donʼt just put your toes on the step. This will help reduce the risk of injuring the ankles. For the leg that is stepping forward, make sure that the knee stays above the heel and DOES NOT go so far forward that it is over the knee. This will save your knee from potential injury.

Fast Squats What to do: This exercise is just like the slow squats except of course you are going to go fast and not slow. Grab your hands in the front of your body like shown.

Don’t Forget to:

Have a slight arch in your back as you go up and down. Donʼt bounce, keep your toes & heels on the floor. Also, when you bend over be sure not to use too much upper body. All of the motion should be in your legs. This is done by bending at the knees. It is easy to cheat when you go down by just bending your torso over. Avoid this. Donʼt bow your knees in or out, keep them right over your feet.

Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart and your feet pointed straight ahead. Either have a partner time you or perform this exercise with a clock having a second hand in view. As fast as you can squat up and down. Bring your rear so that is about the level of your knees or slightly lower on the bottom part of the squat. On the top part of the squat stand almost completely up. For beginners go as fast as you can for about 15-30 seconds. If you are up for a challenge then do the squats for a full minute.

Walking Lunges What to do:

Youʼll need a little space for this exercise. Find an room or area of the gym where you can lunge at least 15-20 paces. Start by standing upright with your feet together. For beginners place your hand on your hips (and have smiles on your lips). For more advanced exercisers hold a dumbbell in each hand or a barbell on your shoulders. Take a long step and bend both knees and lunge towards the floor. Keep you feet pointed straight. The back leg is the one doing most of the work. It is important to keep the front knee over the heel and not over the toes. In other words if you lunge too far forward you will put great pressure on your front knee and increase the risk of injury. Bring your feet together after the first lunge and then lunge forward with the opposite leg. Alternate your legs as you go across the floor and bring your feet together between each step.

Keep the front knee over the heel not the toes.
