If you know anything about before and after fitness contests
or the reality TV shows like the biggest loser, then you know
that it is difficult to simultaneously lose fat and gain muscle at the
same time.
Usually the goal is to cut as many pounds on the scale
as humanly possible, right?
But what those shows never talk about is "body composition"
and the possibility of "body RE-composition", or gaining
lean body mass as you burn the fat.
The thing is, most people, even a lot of veteran trainers,
believe that it's impossible to gain muscle and lose fat
at the same time.
You might have heard all the debates and arguments about
this subject yourself on forums and blogs, etc. etc.
Even though the experts disagree, if there's any consensus at
all, it's that simultaneously gaining muscle while losing fat
is the most difficult fitness goal to achieve...
That's why people call it the "holy grail";
because it's so elusive.
But make no mistake, it is possible.
("difficult" and "impossible" are not the same thing)
And that's also why I'm sending you this message:
I wanted to give you an early 'heads up' on this:
"The Holy Grail Body Transformation System:
How to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time"
It's a new program that actually teaches specific
nutrition and training techniques for gaining muscle
and losing fat at the same time.
It explains these methods in a simple and practical
manner, but also gives the scientific proof and reasons
why they work (this is backed-up with peer-reviewed studies.)
This "holy grail" system was created by trainer / natural
bodybuilder Tom Venuto, who is best known for his e-book,
Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) which has become a sort
of "fat loss bible" to thousands of people all over the world

But BFFM was designed specifically for fat loss.
what if you want to lose fat AND gain muscle but
you could never achieve it before (or you just didn't
believe it was possible, so you didn't try)?
That's precisely why Tom created this new program.
It's the first course of it's kind that builds
on the basic fat burning techniques and teaches a
new system for gaining muscle and burning fat
simultaneously, and explains the process scientifically.
If you're skeptical, I don't blame you.
But when you see BOTH real-world case studies AND
you see the scientific proof, it makes you want to
stop and take a look at this.
Right now the 1st edition of Tom's HOLY GRAIL ebook
is available for a short time in limited release at
a special introductory price here:
Holy Grail Tranformation Introduction
At some point in the very near future Tom is going to
take the holy grail course off the market for a while,
to collect feedback and case studies to incorporate
into the 2nd edition.
Then Tom will officially re-release the Holy grail
ebook separately later this year and sell it at full
price.
If you'd like to be in this first wave of people
to try this new combined muscle-building and fat
burning technology and get it at a bargain price,
here is the ONLY way to order at the moment:
Holy Grail

Comments:
eDiets.com is the most frequently visited diet website on the net and has gained much exposure through the media and has also garnered several awards for content. Diets alone, even if custom made, won't be successful in the long run, so, if ediets interests you, be sure to choose a membership option, like the last one, that includes the fitness component!

I'm very impressed that the Ediet site is now calling themselves a nutrition and fitness site...Must be due to the new partnership with Bob Greene - I think this was a smart move!

My 9-Step Weight Loss Program: Step #1

I’ve decided it might be helpful if I take the time to make a quick entry about each one of these steps. So today I start of with a quick explanation about Step #1.

Step #1: Taking Responsibility – I am the only one responsible for my health and success. I am the one who is responsible for eating and exercising in a way that will make me successful.

I think that this in certainly one of the most important steps in my plan, if not THE most important aspect of the whole thing. One must take personal responsibility for the outcome of their weight loss program. This means that I am responsible for having the right foods available. I am responsible for making time for exercise, having the right equipment and doing it in a healthy way!

To many times when I have worked with clients who have come to me for weight loss sessions I hear, “I could lose weight if my wife would cook the kind of meals I need to lose weight” or “I could exercise if I had more time” and so on. My clients and I have got to accept one truth if we are to be successful, and it goes something like this, “If it is to be, then it is up to me.” Of course it is always a bonus when you have a supportive family, and if you have lots of time for shopping, cooking and exercise. However, one needs to face the reality of his or her own circumstance. It is up to us, the individuals who want to live a healthier lifestyle and lose weight that need to make it work. It is not up to our spouses, or the government, or our employer to ensure that we are happy and lose weight. Are you with me on this?

So with that in mind I proceed into tomorrow, the first day of my weight loss success. I hope others will join me in the process, and it starts with Step #1, Taking Responsibility.

My 9-Step Weight Loss Program: Step #2

I am totally moved by the number of emails and comments that I have received from other hypnotists and hypnotherapists around the world who have decided to get behind me on this, and some who have even decided that they are going to make the same commitment! Thank you all so much. It is going to be more fun with you all doing this with me.

Now I want to continue to explain my 9-Step Weight Loss Program. The next step in my weight loss plan, which is really the foundation to being successful is covered next.

You can be totally motivated, you can know what you are going to do, you can be totally committed to your success, but if you don’t have the things that you need to be successful it is just going to be one big frustating project, to say the least. So here is a bit more information on Step #2. I hope that it will help everyone who is thinking about joining me on this journey to be successful. By the way, if you are seeing clients for weight loss you might want to integrate some of this into the work that you are doing.

Step #2: Being Prepared – Since eating and exercising right requires that I have the ability to eat right every day, and exercise every day, then I need to have the proper foods and equipment available for me to be successful.

What am I going to eat? That is simple, good healthy, non-processed foods. Mostly my diet will consist of lean meats, green vegitables, and fresh fruits. I will eat smaller portions, and as I do that I expect that my ability to feel full and statisfied will adjust over time to the smaller amounts of food that I am eating. I am not going to use a program where some other business prepares my food for me, or eat frozen dinners that are designed for dieters, because an important part of what I am going to be doing is to get used to eating smaller portions, and create the habit of cooking and eating meals that will keep me slim and healthy for life.

I also have three kinds of excercise equipment available to me at this time, walking shoes, my recumbent tadpole trike, and my TRIKKE T8 (click this link or see graphic on the top right hand page for a link to get one of your own). I’ll write more about them later on and give you some photos of me using them, and maybe I’ll even be able to manage some video. That will be a lot of fun! Here are a couple of photos of my two trikes. I think you will find them to be a bit different from the trikes you may have had when you were just a kid!

Bye for now. And thank you guys for sending your comments. I really appriciate your input, so keep them coming!

Oh, and one last thing if you are considering NGH Hypnotherapy Certification, I hope you will look into our training program. You get NGH approved training, and 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® as well. It simply cannot be beat if you want to start off right in this profession or if you want to take your practice to the next level. It is also available live over the Internet. Our next class is in March 2007 and seating is always limited.

My 9-Step Weight Loss Program: Step #3

I have to tell you that I feel that I am off to a great start. All of that “taking responsibility” and “being prepared” is working great and I have already noticed a difference in how my clothes are fitting. I know that it seems too soon, but I really can.

So, next I want to talk a bit about the next step in my plan…

Step #3: Eating for Healthy Weight Loss – I need to have a plan on how I will eat so that I don’t have to make it up as I go along. I will eat small and healthy portions of lean meats, fruits and vegetables, supplemented by vitamin tablets.

If someone is really interested in losing weight and being healthy, then some thought needs to be put into one’s diet. Heaven knows I have done a lot of research in this area, benefiting from both the experiences of my clients and my own experience as well. What I have settled on is a diet that is very close to the Paleo Diet. This way of eating is also called the Paleolithic Diet, Caveman Diet, or Hunter/Gatherer Diet. Basically it consists of unprocessed foods and avoiding grains, beans and potatoes.

So what can I have? I can have all kinds of fresh meats, including beef, pork, fish, foul and wild game, as well as lots of fresh vegetables and small portions of fruit.

In my experience I do best if I avoid grains, especially wheat products because they cause me to hold water and feel bloated. Later on I may allow rice, when I get to the weight maintenance phase of my program. You see, I want to come to the convention every year at my ideal weight, and of course live in a healthy manner all year round. For me it is a quality of life decision because I know that just about everything in my life will go better with a healthy, energetic, and lean body.

I plan on having 5 small meals a day. Those meals will consist of protein and some vegetable or fruit. For example, last night I had a bowl of soup and a small salad. This morning I had soup for breakfast. I find homemade meat and vegetable soups to be tasty and satisfying. So, soups and salads will make up the majority of my meals. But, man (at least Cal) does not live by soup and salad alone! I will also have grilled meats and veggies once in a while. I think that will be a great way to eat with friends, or eat when we are out. The key will be to keep the protein portions small (i.e., 3 to 4 ounces) and to avoid salad dressings that are filled with too much fat or carbohydrates.

Another thing that I like about this approach to eating is that it is pretty easy to prepare my meals ahead of time and then bringing in the soups, salads and other things into work to eat during the day.

By the way, last night I tried one of those Salad Spritzers, and I really liked it. There are three flavors and so I’ll have enough variety. They are a great way to give my salads a little “zing” while keeping the fat and carbohydrates within reasonable limits. (By the way, technically by using these prepared dressings I am breaking some of the rules of the Paleo Diet, but heck since I’m not really a caveman I’m allowed to “fudge” a bit don’t you think?)

Well, there it is, my detailed plan. Keep sending in your comments. I really enjoy hearing your advice.

Oh, and I am especially interested in hearing about lean and healthy places to eat while I’m in London teaching my Week of Power Class in April. So if any of you have any tips please leave them here in the comments section. Just click on the Post a Comment link at the bottom right of this post. Oh, and then of course there is the upcoming NGH Solid Gold Weekend in Las Vegas. I’m sure there has to be some great places to eat healthy in Vegas as well. Send me your advice and tips.

My 9-Step Weight Loss Program: Step #4

Who says weight loss needs to be boring!? So far I am having a great time, and I’ve lost 10 pounds already.

Today I am going to expand a bit on what I have written already about my 9-Step Weight Loss Plan including hypnosis. Here is what I have written about Step #4 so far…

Step #4: Exercising Every Day – Exercising every day will be an important part of my healthy weight loss plan. But because I could overdo it, or do too little to get the kind of results that I want, I will vary my exercise program, with some days having light exercise and other days having more vigorous exercise. I will be walking, riding my recumbent trike and my new TRIKKE (a really weird but fun contraption).

From what I have read and from my experience, I have learned that exercise alone is a poor way to lose weight (unless you are a teenager or 20-something with boundless energy and lots of time on your hands). However, it is a very important part of any weight loss plan for those who are able to exercise. An active lifestyle that includes moderate intensity exercise can improve weight loss about 40%! So that is what I am going to do.

Some things that I wanted to keep in mind are that I want my exercise time to be something that I look forward to. That is why I am planning the following…

(Click the button in the center to start the video)

First, as you watch the video that goes with this blog entry you will see that I am very excited about my new TRIKKE, model T8. I have already put in a few miles on it, going for some rides over an hour long. It is fun, low impact and portable (i.e. it folds and fits into the trunk of my car). Check it out and if you want to learn more about it, or even get one of your own, go to the link on this site.

Another fun way for me to exercise is my recumbent trike which I showed you in a previous blog entry (Step #2). It is also a fun way to exercise. You can travel a lot of ground pretty quickly and it kind of looks like a dragster! I’m thinking of doing a “Century” (a one hundred mile bike ride) on it later this year! I’ll let you know more about that as the date approaches.

And finally, I am going to do some walking. Walking will be one of the things that I do on my less active days. To keep it fun and interesting, I am planning on listening to music and other audio programs on my Pocket PC Phone.

Well that is it for this entry. I hope you enjoyed the video. Sorry about the vertical line running up and down through some of the video. It is being caused by the glare of the sun off the metal of the bike where the handlebars connect with the rest of the trike.

I hope you will continue to post your comments and leave suggestions! I am really enjoying your input and actually it is really helpful.
