There are many supposed ways to lose weight. There is Low Fat, Low Carb, Cabbage Soup, The Chocolate Diet, Low Calorie, The Balance Plan,and on and on. It can be confusing navigating all the wight loss diets out there.

Thing is, it need not be. It Does require a bit of thinking outside the box though, as we have been fed misinformation for a long time. Consider this...

You are overweight for the most simple of reasons -- because you're eating the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories per meal, and you're also eating meals in the wrong patterns each day.

That may seem complicated, but when broken down, weight loss is simple and easy to understand.

You see, FOOD is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills, because the FOOD that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT. You get fat because you don't eat the right foods at the right intervals each day.

Also, the pattern that you choose to eat your meals each day is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills. This is true because your body is like an "engine" and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals each day, and if you don't eat the right foods at the right times then it won't burn those calories -- and you'll wind up storing those calories as fat tissue.

A new program,
Fat Loss 4 Idiots, has all this information to help you get the weight loss plan that is right for you and get the fat-loss results you deserve!

FACT:You have gotten overweight by eating the wrong foods, that much is a fact. And guess what? You can get SLIM by eating the RIGHT FOODS at the RIGHT INTERVALS each day.

Also, Did you know that your brain controls the release of Fat Burning Hormones after each meal? It's true.

Every time you eat something there are 2 types of hormones released into your bloodstream, and together they control Fat Burning and Fat Storage.

Also, did you know that these 2 hormones are controlled by the foods that you eat? It's true.

By learning how to combine and time your eating, you finally gain control over the fat loss! And this is achieved without depriving yourself. This is the kind of information that the fad diet masters do not want you to know, as they would lose out on the chance to keep pushing the latest and greatest fad diets and weight loss programs on you.

Let me restate that, once you learn some simple principles on how and when to give nutrition to your body, you turn your body into a fat-burning super-beast. This scares the people that push fad diets right to their core!

Remember this, food is not the enemy, and being satisfied is not a sin. Food is like a LIGHT SWITCH which can turn Fat Burning ON or OFF. You onle have to learn how to do it.


Fat Loss 4 Idiots and their "Idiot Proof Diet" constantly alternates your menu between every possible type of calorie, constantly shifting from one type of calorie to the next, ensuring that the scale keeps dropping.

We call this diet the "Idiot Proof Diet" because everything is computed for you, and there is no need for calorie counting or label reading.

So check it out and get off of the fad diet and weight loss roller coaster for good!

I was once an avid powerlifter. I lived to throw around lots of heavy iron and loved every minute of it. I was also a personal trainer for a while and always put my clients through tough weight training sessions to get results. That all changed in 2002.

I was at the time working part-time in a butcher shop to supplement my then less than stellar income as well as to get good discounts. A large part of that job was stocking the freezer with very heavy boxes of meat and other heavy animal products.

To make a long story short, I had an accident one day while holding one of these boxes over my head. The end result? A serious back injury, serious enough in fact to end my powerlifting.

I kept lifting weights, lighter and less intense of course, after my initial therapy, but things got worse and I was facing surgery. I was not keen on surgery, and definitely did not want to follow in the footsteps of others in the powerlifting world that kept at lifting through operation after operation, tearing down their bodies in the process.

I started looking at alternatives and through lots of trial and research, came up with several bodyweight workouts that fit the bill. I have since added back some machine work and dumbbell exercises that don't aggravate my injury, but my bodyweight routines are still the center of my workouts.

One of my favorite bodyweight routines does involve one piece of equipment, but it is a cheap piece of equipment, so don't fret. What is this cheap workout tool? A deck of cards!

That is right, a deck of cards. Now this workout is challenging, but also customizable for your fitness level. First thing, get out a sheet of paper and on one side write down the suits on the cards as well as the joker. Now choose an exercise to go with each suit and the joker.

The choices I usually make are squats for Spades, push-ups for Clubs, crunches for Diamonds, pull-ups (if you have a bar) or towel door rows for Hearts, and either sprints or squat-jumps for Joker.

These are my main choices, but I do alternate exercises from workout to workout. This is one of the ways to alter the workout to your fitness level. You can choose more or less intense exercises depending on what you can handle. Only use my recommendations as a starting point to your own program.

Now, shuffle the cards and put the deck on the paper next to the exercise and suits list. The object now is to deal a card and perform the exercise for the number of reps on the card that corresponds to the suit. The breakdown is a bit different than when playing cards and is such.

number cards- do the number of reps on the card
aces- perform 11 reps
jacks-perform 12 reps
queens-perform 13 reps
kings-perform 14 reps
joker-perform 15 reps or 10 seconds x 4 sets if sprinting

Now, deal a card and go. Perform your set and wait 10 seconds, then deal the next card. Keep at this but watch yourself. As you get more fatigued, take more time between cards. If you get to the point where you are out of breath, either take an extended break or end the workout if you are over exerted. Count the number of cards you have dealt when you reach your stopping point and try to extend the number of cards you can deal with each workout.

Once you get to the point where you can deal the whole deck with just 10 seconds between each card, you, my friend, are in pretty good shape. At this point, pick more challenging exercises, add some weight training or machines into the mix, or add more sprinting. The sky is the limit.

Whether, like me, you are dealing with an injury and need a workout that does not cause more injury damage, or if you are traveling, strapped for time, or just want to shake things up a bit, give this workout a try!

The most important thing to remember is this, make it fun.

The 3 Best Ab Exercises That Are Not Direct Ab Exercises

By Mike Geary

Instead of the typical ab exercise routines that we see so often with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc... I like to give my readers better options for metabolism-boosting high intensity workouts that work their entire body while also working their abs.

I'm going to show you an example today of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn't include any direct ab exercises at all. It's in a tri-set format (similar to a super-set but alternating between 3 exercises).

Here goes:

1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows
1b. Front Squats with Barbell
1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor

A good rep scheme to use with this could be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. Mountain climbers can be done for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) instead of "reps".

Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm. This stabilizing effect during the rows creates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust me... you'll feel it in the abs!

Front squats are done similar to back squats, however with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders instead of resting on the upper back as in back squats. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders while keeping your elbows out in front of the body. This takes a little practice at first, so you will want to seek a professional trainer at your gym to help you with the form. Front squats require extreme stabilization strength from the abs due to the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. Even though this is mostly a leg exercise, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to starting position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had without even doing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I mean after you try it!

See What I Mean? Try it! The Truth About 6 Pack Abs

Joel Marion,CISSN, NSCA-CPT, that is a name some are getting to know quite well in the fitness field. Joel was a Body-for-Life Champion in the 2001 EAS sponsored 12 week body change competition. But Joel did not stop there, he went off and got his education, (you see all those fancy letter behind his name), and has become a prolific writer and fitness consultant.

Joel has, in working with his clients and in his own life, found that sometimes when dieting, the best gains are made after cheating a bit. I am sure those of you that have dieted in the past have discovered similar results, but may have chalked it up to coincidence.

Well, Joel refused to stop there, he went on to study the phenomenon and found the culprit to be leptin, a hormone linked to weight loss.

This book, The Cheat to Lose Diet, is the product of all Joel's research, and it is a good read. You learn the proper way to cheat. Not just a cheat meal, but a whole, full blown cheat day each week. And the best part, this cheat day will supercharge your fat loss! How is that for a plan?
