MYTH Muscle weighs more than fat

FACT  One pound equals one pound. Fat takes up more space than muscle

MYTH Carbohydrates will make you fat.

FACT Carbohydrates DO NOT make you fat! Overeating and inactivity does.

NO MORE SCALES

When you begin a strength training program combined with a sensible diet the scale will NEVER accurately reflect your true physique.

You WON'T be losing "Weight". You WILL be losing FAT!

 I lost over 60 lbs eating 1 lb of pasta a day.

All white flour, carbohydrates and everything Dr. Atkins and other "nutritionists" said I couldn't eat.

Yet I lost over 60 lbs. How?

I stumbled upon the diet/nutrition/fat loss "SECRET"- eat small meals frequently throughout the day and your metabolism has no choice but to stay on all day, burning calories nonstop even as you rest!  .

You will NEVER lose weight by NOT eating.

When you do not eat, your metabolism comes to an immediate halt

INCREASE YOUR METABOLISIM

By eating every 3 hours (180 minutes)  it becomes inefficient for your meatabolism to slow down as it is constantly expecting food /calories to burn.

Become a 24/7 "fat burning machine" and lose fat even while sleeping!

 Why Resistance Training is the most effective way to lose fat, tone up and gain strength

1. Weight training tones your muscles which looks great and raises your basal metabolism...which causes you to burn more calories 24 hours-a-day. You'll even burn more calories while you're sleeping.

2. Strength training can *reverse* the natural decline in your metabolism which begins around age 30.

3. Resistance training energizes you.

4. Weight training has a positive affect on almost all of your 650+ muscles.

12. Weight training decreases your gastrointestinal transit time, reducing your risk for developing colon cancer.
