Let's get this one out in the open:

  1. Fats do not make you gain body fat.
  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 body fat. 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:
  • 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.
  • 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 free.
  • 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.
  • 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 body weight slowly, it's okay to have some fats at night.

Just do me a favor: If you are on the "Fats make you gain body fat 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 body fat, then use this one:

It's a real-world plan that allows you to eat your favorite foods and still shed the body weight you want.

And yes -- that includes fats.


Here is an in-depth look at the subject of fats.

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 . . . FREE to them of course . . .  : )

So, if you want to get rid of some lbs . . .

FAT LOSS 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 fat loss 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 fat loss 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 calories 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:


FAT LOSS 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 body weight. Studies confirm what we fitness pros already know: Resistance training not only sculpts the body (cardio cannot) but it also burns 9-12x more body fat 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."

You can get it when you pick up "Every Other Day Diet" for 75% off-retail . . .
it is all detailed here . . .
