AVOID Fat-Loss Failure (Use this tool)
Tuesday, April 24th, 2012
Using THIS = Guaranteed Fat Loss Consistency
Today’s post reveals the #1 reason people fail with fat-loss, AND a tool you can print out to overcome it.
I’ve been helping people get lean for well over 14 years now and this is (by far) the biggest reason for fat-loss failure.
So I just happen to know – for a fact – that whether you use today’s free download or not, will ultimately dictate success or failure with your nutrition and exercise.
How do I know?
Because it was super easy to identify after I spent five years owning and operating one of the top personal training studio franchises in the world while coaching over 1,000 clients privately in person.
During that time, we had a couple hundred clients who fell flat on their face and never achieved their goals. At the same exact time, we had several hundred who blew their goals out of the water.
It was insanely obvious that the clients who consistently used this method and tool absolutely crushed their goals.
I literally watched their lives change, their bodies’ transform, their relationships be saved, their confidence build, and their self-esteem be restored.
Simply put, after using this tool they built unstoppable fitness habits and they created their own compass and guide to achieve any fat loss goal.
At the same exact time, I also saw the exact opposite.
The people who wouldn’t listen and use today’s free tool struggled week after week, month after month, sometimes even year after year - even though it was part of the agreement and we laid out every expectation in their contract.
We would keep telling them the same thing over and over and over again, but they still wouldn’t listen.
Nothing was more irritating than people asking for advice or paying top dollar for a solution and professional coaching without listening or applying what works.
And almost every time I would tell them THIS was blocking their success and holding them back, they would get defensive and justify their ignorance.
I know this may sound a little harsh, but it’s the truth.
What can I say?…I guess it’s just human nature and the way we’re wired.
So – what was the real difference between all the failures and life-changing success stories?
Journaling their food and exercise.
I know this isn’t “sexy” but hold on — before you move onto your next internet interruption. 
You may think this is nothing new or not a big deal? Well my friend, if you think that’s the case – you’re sadly mistaken.
In fact, this is the ONLY way to pinpoint small mistakes, re-adjust, and stay consistent with nutrition and exercise.
Especially because nutrition is about 75% of the results when it comes to the tricky game of fat loss. You would be blown away at the amount of people who make all these little tiny exercise and nutrition mistakes that really can make all the difference.
Here’s a quick story and a perfect example of what I mean.
We had a client that insisted she ate healthy at every meal month after month, but she wouldn’t journal her food or exercise. I finally insisted she journal or go find someplace else to hire a trainer. That’s right, I’ve had to fire paying clients when they didn’t listen.
After all, why bother wasting both time and money?
I’m not really a big Donald Trump fan, but I couldn’t resist the appropriate picture.
Funny part is, she immediately started journaling. Accountability works like a charm. Every. Single. Time. 
After I looked at her journal a week later, I noticed she had “nuts and fruit” listed for 3 meals everyday.
Now even though both nuts and fruit are healthy food choices, it’s a horrible food combination for fat loss. It’s the deadly combination of sugar and fat.
Remember, carbs spike insulin. In the presence of higher insulin levels it’s almost impossible to burn fat.
Insulin + fat in the blood stream = fat storage.
It’s not going to make or break every fat loss plan, but in this case it was the tipping point.
I rearranged and tweaked those meals and “Snap”; just like that she was down a couple more jean sizes.
This is a great example of the power of journaling, coaching, and accountability.
I’m not saying you have to journal your food and exercise forever…
BUT…if you want to see visible results and build habits that can last a lifetime, it’s something that HAS to be done for at least 8 to 12 weeks or longer to start with.
In fact, to this day I go back to journaling my food and exercise whenever I’m looking for serious results or need to get back on track after slacking off.
It’s like a built-in accountability partner.
It’s another strange phenomenon of the fat loss game. Every time I start journaling I burn more fat and life just gets all around better.
That’s why I wanted to share today’s free download with you.
You could be doing everything else right, but if you don’t journal you’ll never stay consistent or be able to identify what’s holding you back from the body of your dreams.
Just click the link below and you’ll instantly put your fat loss on the fast track…if you use it consistently.

P.S. If you decide to make the intelligent choice of using today’s tool, the next move is making sure you’re using an aggressive fat loss approach that doesn’t permanently “damage” your metabolism…
And that’s exactly what my good buddy down in Florida, Joel Marion, has done with his Xtreme Fat Loss Diet. You can learn all about the strategy of how this system works at the link below.

5 Quick Weight Loss Tips To Look and Feel Great Before Spring is Over

Spring is fading fast and, believe it or not, summer is nearly upon us.
One of the questions I hear all the time at the gym, during book-signings, seminars, workshops or conferences is, “How can I get ready for summer?”
People are always surprised when I tell them things like “eat meat and potatoes” or “set your alarm,” but as you’ll soon see, getting in summer shape takes a lot more than just going to the gym or undergoing weight loss programs these days:
Tip # 1 – Beware the Bloat: We often fall back on fad diets or “urban dieting myths” as summer season approaches, but often the “salad and veggies” routine – known as fibrous carbs – can result in unsightly bloating that is actually the opposite of what you’re looking to achieve the desired weight loss outcome. If summer is right around the corner, eat enough vegetables to stay healthy but gradually shift toward less fibrous, more protein-centric meals like meat and potatoes – yes, I said it! – to avoid bloating while wearing that bikini!
Tip # 2 – Spot Check: The closer summer gets the more time we spend at the gym, starving ourselves or doing whacky things like drinking less water and eating more fiber. When we try to fix everything overnight, we can often end up doing more harm than good. Instead, take a good look in the mirror and be realistic about what you can fix in the time you have left before summer. Maybe your biggest sore spot is your flabby arms; focus on them for a few weeks by doing twice as many bicep curls per workout and at least you can rest assured you’ll have the best arms you can possibly have come that July 4th picnic. Maybe your arms and legs are fine but you’re feeling a little soft around the belly; no amount of sit-ups or crunches will help if nobody can see them! Cut back on your carbs, your sweets, your sugar and your snacks for a few weeks and bulk up on your cardio (one of the best weight loss programs) for quick weight loss that will help alleviate a cushy belly. Remember, it’s better to fix one or two things realistically than try to get that “perfect” body overnight or instantly – and end up fixing nothing in the process.
Tip # 3 – Rest Easy: As summer nears the last thing on your mind might be more rest, but in fact sleep is the body’s ultimate summer preparation device. The more you do weight loss exercises and diet to prepare for “bikini season,” the more rest and repair time your body needs to build muscle, burn fat and readjust to an altered diet. To go to sleep sooner at night, avoid drinking caffeine (or eating chocolate) after 2 or 3 in the afternoon, turn off the television an hour before bedtime and read a magazine or book and listen to relaxing nature music or smooth jazz instead. To wake up more refreshed each morning, set your alarm thirty minutes before you usually get up each day. Adding just half-an-hour to each day literally creates an extra hour every two days; just think of how much more relaxed you’ll feel with all that extra time!
Tip # 4 – Mix It Up: In my books on cracking or conquering the fat-loss code, I frequently tell my readers to “mix it up.” What do I mean? Simple: don’t do the same thing at the same time – for the same amount of time – and at the same intensity every single day. If you walk for half-an-hour at the same time every morning, at the same pace, your body will get used to it; it’s called the Law of Adaptation and it’s at the heart of why we can’t lose weight or change our shapes even when we’re consistent in our fat loss diet and exercise programs. In fact, it’s that consistency that is often our downfall. Instead, mix it up! For instance, walk a few mornings a week but ride your bike every other day. If you’re a morning person, force yourself to work out a few afternoons a week instead; you might be surprised by how this simple “trick” shifts your metabolism into overdrive. If ALL you do is one certain type of fat loss exercise, like walking or jogging, throw a little racquetball, basketball, swimming or tennis into the mix. If you’re in a rut, get out of it – and soon – to make sure you break that diet plateau by summer.
Tip # 5 – Slow Down: Finally, slow down! I know that can seem the opposite of what you want to do, but looking good goes hand in hand with feeling good. Crazy diets, fad purge weight loss programs, over-exercising and under-sleeping can all create a haggard, frenzied, chaotic appearance that may help you look good in a bikini but won’t help you enjoy summer one ounce more. And, in fact, the more rapid your weight loss, the more you deprive and deny yourself, the bigger the chance that you’ll gain whatever quick, instant or overnight weight you lost back before summer’s even over. And who wants to look great in June and twice as bad by July 4th? Follow the steps in this simple fat loss program and you will both look better and feel better; the payoff is you won’t look bad and feel bad the minute summer’s over!
The goal with any weight loss diet and exercise plan is to enjoy your life, not to deny yourself. Summer is no different; this is a time for outdoor activities, great good, fast friends and family fun. Don’t miss out because you’re obsessing over getting into a smaller size bikini or kill yourself trying to fit into something you wore three summers ago!
Be mindful of what you eat and how often you move, yes, but remember that the more you enjoy yourself, the more active you are and the more activities you join you will actually be eating less and moving your body more. In fact, the best way to look good for summer is to simply enjoy the summer; the details will work themselves out along the way!
