Even though everybody was unusually intrigued by my last blog post appropriately called, “6 Meals A Day Is WRONG?”
I actually goofed up (BIG TIME) and made a major mistake.
But – I’m makin’ good on it.
HINT: It involves a Free Copy of my new PDF download: “End of Summer – Radical Fat Loss Blue Print”.
It seems like everybody is falling into 1 of 2 categories:
Those who “get it” and understand it only logically makes sense from both a “lifestyle” and scientific approach.
People who have been brainwashed (just like I was) into thinking that if you’re not eating every 2 to 3 hours you’re going to get fat.
Hopefully my last video didn’t offend you. If so, I’m really sorry. It looks like you’ll just have to…
I know there are a lot of people who want to argue and debate about meal frequency (3 or 4 meals VS. 6 per day)…
No worries! Today’s video should clear up any confusion.
Talk soon and enjoy!

Millions of people consume these 4 so-called “healthy” foods everyday,
but could they actually be sabotaging all your fat loss efforts?
I can bet you’re probably using 1 or more of these things on a daily basis right now if you’re trying to eat healthy.
And by using these 4 choices as condiments you’ll eliminate a ton of hidden crappy calories in your nutrition plan. This is how to turn these from foods that make you fat to foods that will help you in your journey towards a lean and toned body.
There are several reasons why the 4 food choices I talk about in today’s video can hinder your fat loss goals.
They yield more calories.
They are poor protein sources.
They sometimes have hidden sugars and other nasty fillers.
They’re easy to grab on-the-go so people always go to them in a hurry as staple when they shouldn’t.
Even though you will find all 4 of these things on the Get Lean In 12 approved food list, you should consume all of them very small amounts so they can be fat burning foods instead of fat storing foods.
(I couldn’t help but post this picture because I cracked up laughing when I saw it. I figured you’d get a giggle out of it too.)
After spending over 20 years in-the-trenches learning and applying healthy nutrition, and helping other people transform their bodies and lives for over 10 years, I discovered this is a nasty mistake that get’s in people’s way during their fat-loss journey. If you don’t follow these guidelines, these are foods that will make you fat.
I’ve seen it over and over again. Our followers, clients and students will start journaling what they eat (which we highly recommend) and sure enough they are using 1 of these 4 things as a staple.
Big mistake.
Pay close attention to today’s message because this little nasty habit can sneak up on you and next thing you know you’re doing it everyday, wondering why you’re not seeing the results you desire.
By getting a grip on the powerful little tip in today’s video you can still actually use these 4 items as fat burning foods.
Have a great day!

How To Lose Up To 2 Pounds While Cheating On Christmas And New Year’s Day
Let’s face it. Cheating on our nutrition plan is a part of life, so the best way to succeed is to find a life-long approach towards this behavior.
We ALL cheat on our nutrition plan (especially this time of year) so why not try to do it strategically.
The following holiday plan is a simple guide Wendy created so you can strategically splurge on Christmas Day or at any of your holiday events this year without the worry of gaining any fat. Most people experience a weight loss of 2 pounds or more when this plan is followed exactly.
It may look familiar to many of you from Thanksgiving or from our other materials, but it’s always good to be reminded of specific cheating strategies.
If you don’t have our meal plans to follow then here are some guidelines for you.
1. Consume 5 to 6 small meals daily
2. Make sure every meal contains a lean protein source and a fibrous veggie
3. Consume 1 tablespoon of friendly fat in 2 of your daily meals
4. Only consume starches with your meals as indicated on the plan below
5. Women drink at least 80 ounces of water daily, men drink at least 100 ounces.
Ok…here’s the plan to follow along with the basics above.
• Saturday December 19th
Baseline Day (2 starchy carb meals with protein
meals before 3pm)
• Sunday December 20th
Baseline Day (2 starchy carb meals with protein
meals before 3pm)
• Monday, December 20th thru Thursday, December 24th –
Deplete Days (no starches) or Carb Down days (1 starchy carb with
protein meals before 3pm) – you choose based on how much
you want to cheat. If you are new to Macro-Patterning, then we
suggest deplete days…which means under 20 grams total carbs
per day.
• Christmas Day – CHEAT!!!
This plan works best if you have small amounts of food every
few hours once you rise, until your big meal then OVEREAT!!!
(Yes that is what I said). This will force your body into an
anabolic response and ultimately help you lose weight. You
might even break into a mild sweat or get hot from the calorie
overload.
• Saturday, December 26th – The Day After: This day is the most
important part of the Holiday Plan. – DEPLETE!!!
You must make this a deplete day (under 20 grams of impact carbs)
and cardio activity is suggested first thing in the morning for 45
minutes to one hour if you are capable.
If you know that you cannot deplete or at least Carb-down
(have one starch with breakfast) the day after then don’t do
the over-eat plan above because it will not work to lose weight.
I personally find that Carbing-down is best the day after a Cheat Day
because my appetite is usually higher, especially after cardio.
• Sunday, December 27th – Do a Baseline Day (2 starches with
protein meals before 3pm) along with your other normal meals,
OR do no starches until your last meal and have what you want.
You choose – if you are new to our strategies then we suggest a
Baseline Day.
• Monday, December 28th - Back to whatever plan you are on or start
carbing down or depleting again to Cheat AGAIN on New Year’s Day.
You can also re-arrange this and apply it to ANY holiday, event, or special occasion. ?
Following a plan like this is what can make fitness fun for the holidays and most importantly help keep you on track.
Hopefully this will allow all of you enjoy all your holidays this year!

Every fat loss and fitness journey starts with the foundation necessary to succeed. Even though everybody wants a flat stomach or six-pack abs so they can fit into those “skinny-jeans” again and or take their shirt off at the beach this is an “outside-in” approach. If you really want success your fat burning program must have a long-term-lifestyle approach.
This means starting with an “inside-out” approach and finding your reason “why”.
We know that fat-loss and fitness are the catalyst to fulfillment in every area of life, that’s why I start out by asking you to find your reason “why”.
The one thing every person has in common that succeeds with their fat-loss program and their ability to build habits is that we all have…or had a big enough reason “why”.
So what’s yours? I hate to admit it, but sometimes it’s hard for me to talk about my reason “why” without crying because this information has had such an impact on my life.
Seriously, you can see the original before and after pictures and read part of the story right here; My Story
Ok, enough of the sappy stuff…let teach you about synergy!
After you found your reason “why”, you have to make up your mind that it’s big enough to build long term habits.
It won’t do you any good to use the super fast fat burning strategies we give you if you decide to go on some crazy diet or just want to use this temporarily to get to your initial goals.
The Get Lean In 12 fat-burning program is alllll about building long term lifestyle habits through synergy…period.
So if you want to program your body to be a “fat-burner” all day long, you need to learn about making synergy part of your everyday life…consistently.
The 3 components that create “synergy” will guarantee your long term fat loss success…so you can keep the weight off permanently.
How do you do you create synergy in your fat burning program?
By using Get Lean In 12;
Cardio workouts
Strength training routines and…
Fat burning nutrition
All 3 thing must be used together consistently to create a synergistic fat-burning effect. I go over these 3 powerful strategies in detail in the video above.
If you can synergistically use these 3 components consistently…not perfectly, the fat will melt off and your approach will build habits so that your fat-burning program will last a lifetime.
