Fat Loss Secrets - Revealed - Newsletter from June 15th

Those of you who know me real well, know that I don't sit still very long. I've been working hard, and I have some things I really want to share with you. I've been really struggling for a while with the fact that people can be active and just not lose weight very easily. On March 14th of last year I wrote on my blog that I was determined to find what it will take for more people to lose weight. Well, I've been researching, and I've stumbled upon something that I never expected. Many of things that we talk about in the fitness industry is wrong. At least that's the way it appears right now. I really don't know how to say it any other way. There is research that completely contradicts some of the beliefs we hold dear to. Let me give you some examples:
  • Low Carbohydrate vs. Low Fat diets. Which one really works the best?
  • Aerobic Exercise. If you do aerobic cardio 5 days a week for 6 months, how many pounds can you really expect to lose?
  • Calories in, Calories out. If 2 people consume the same number of calories and burn off the same number of calories, could they expect to see the same results?
  • Either lose fat or gain muscle. Can you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time?
  • Spot Reducing. Is it possible to lost bodyfat in just one part of the body?
  • Fishy Results. Can eating more fish show a significant change in your waistline?
  • Supplements. Are they a big waste of time, or do certain supplements really give you better results?
  • "Fat Burning" Zone. This one will probably get me in trouble, so let me present it with the research to back it up.
  • Strength Training vs. Aerobics. Which one will help you lose weight the fastest?
  • EPOC. Don't know what it is? It could have a major role in your results.

I realize that some of the things I am going to say in the upcoming e-mails may contradict things that I have told people in the past. However, I am willing to open my eyes to new research results as long as they are credible studies. That's why each e-mail will only cover one topic, explained in full, and have sources to back up everything I am saying. So I apologize that I'm not giving you the answers to all of the topics above, but I have to do this the right way.
In the meantime, have a great week, and watch for my next e-mail.
