Lose Weight Permanently

There are other programs out there designed to help one develop a six-pack set of abs. Without exception, every single program out there has this paramount flaw _ the complete absence of mental conditioning.

Again, people do not fail because of lack knowledge of what to do; rather, they fail because they lack the consistent self-discipline to make themselves follow-through on the program.

 

First things first. Let’s delve into the indispensable basics.

 

Here is what you need to repeat to yourself a dozen times; until, it becomes firmly nailed into the deepest recesses of your memory.

To sculpt your abdominal muscles into ripped chunks of steel, you must first be in normal weight. If you are underweight, forget it. If you are morbidly obese, forget it. This program is neither designed for underweight nor obese people. If you are overweight, you must first lose weight. It is necessary to be in normal weight to sculpt your midsection. There is not short-cut around it.

What is normal weight?

You are in normal weight, if your BMI (Body Mass Index) ranges from 18.5 to 24.9. Your BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres. Take the answer you get and divide it again by your height, still in metres.

 

            Underweight      = BMI less than 18.5

            Normal Weight   = BMI between 18.5 and 24.9

            Overweight        = BMI between 25 and 29.9

            Obesity              = BMI of 30 or greater

           

Attaining Normal Weight

Shaping up is quite easy, once you develop the right keystone habits. All that’s necessary is to burn more calories than you consume. You must do this consistently over a sustained period. Things have changed drastically. We live in a completely different world from the one our parents lived in. We are in the fast-paced era of instant-gratification. 

People want what they want. And they want it now. They want to see the desired results yesterday. They want to see immediate signs of weight lose; so, after a week of training, they start examining the rolls in their midsection with impatient disgust.

 

What follows next is the most common mistake in fitness training. They go for overkill, piling on the crunches; and before long, they are averaging 200 crunches per session. You name it! They are into it! Bicycle crunches, twisted crunches, oblique crunches, vertical leg crunches, reversed crunches, raised crunches, just name it and you bet, they are into it.

Another week slips by and their muffin-top is still rolling over their waistline. Their flat-stomach objective eludes them. The rock-solid abs, they crave, is nowhere within grasp. Where is the mystery, here?  There isn’t any.

Don’t be one of those guys!

The common fitness mistake, they are making, is called spot training or spot reduction. Spot reduction is the seductive idea, that you can target a single muscle group without affecting any other. This myth persists because people want it to be true. 

Don’t you just wish you could sculpt your abs by performing a rare mix of carefully formulated crunches? Who doesn’t? Who does not wish to bypass strenuous hours of cardio? Who does not wish the infomercials were telling the truth? That dispensing with your hard-earned cash for the latest electronic waist-belt is the only effort required to sculpt your midsection.

 

This is anatomically impossible. The overwhelming scientific evidence demonstrates that muscle definition is only attained through a balance mix of weight loss and muscle growth.

In the first instance, we are going to focus on fat loss. In the process, you will end up acquiring a flat stomach. You can increase the size of your transverse muscles by two to three inches. This is going to be accomplished in two main stages. 

1)         Get into normal weight

2)         Perform explosive cardio to sculpt your torso

How to lose Weight

Expend more calories than you consume. Every day, you must burn more calories than you consume.

There is no other way around it. Do not be dazzled by the scientific-sounding verbiage of gurus, who tell you that “you must create a calorific deficit.” We shall stick with plain English. To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume. 

 

If you are already in normal weight; then, this “how to lose weight” section is superfluous. Skip it, and go straight to the section on abdominal exercises.

 

Notice! I did not summon you to consume less calories. The focus is on expenditure, not on consumption. Any so-called expert, who tells you to decrease your calorie-intake; does not know, what, he is talking about. 

Make no attempts to starve yourself. The debate on the effectiveness of starvation diets was put to rest in the mid-2000s. We now have scientific proof, that, starvation diets do not work. On the contrary, they will end up making you fatter.

Extra calories are burnt through strenuous exercise. No short-cuts allowed.

Short-cuts are prohibited because they do not work. High-tech gadgets will not make you fit. Ignore all those gadgets on late night infomercials. 

The idea, that electronic vibrator-belts can give you lean abs, is complete fantasy. Abs gadgets do not work. Most of the gadgets being promoted on daytime TV Channels are simply scams to extricate your hard-earned money.

            What works?

            Intermittent sessions of high intensity aerobic exercises.

            To lose weight, you need three aerobic exercises:

            -Sprinting

            -Swimming

            -Cycling

 

All other exercises are superfluous. This does not mean; that, they are useless. You can certainly lose weight by dancing zumba, cha-cha, samba, etc. You can lose weight playing football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, etc. 

The obvious problem with team sport, is that, you cannot practice it; unless, your schedule coincides with that of several other people. For this reason, team sports are not considered in this program. 

Good for you, if you happen to be a member of a sports-club; but, the overwhelming majority of people are not. For the most part, your weight lose journey is going to be an individual endeavor. Self-reliance is the order of the day. So, let’s get straight to it. Shall we! 

 

Sprinting is the most effective aerobic exercise. To sprint, you do not need a swimming pool. You do not need a bike. You do not need a cardio heart rate monitor. You only need a pair of sneakers. Sprinting is both cheap and practical; except of course, for women with big breasts.

If you have big breast, sprinting and even jogging will cause your breasts to sag. For big-breasted women, swimming and cycling are preferable to sprinting. 

For the rest of this program, I’ll assume you have normal sized breasts. Sprinting is not for everyone. Before, you go sprinting, you need to verify, if you are fit to sprint or not.

If you can relate to any of this, you won’t have to scroll through your old Facebook pictures looking at your past photos with nostalgic admiration.

To finally achieve jaw-dropping daily results while reclaiming the attention and confidence you’ve been missing out on for so long.

The promise of phenomenal results is often too good to be true. I expect nothing less than skepticism.

After all these failed attempts at weight loss you’ve gotten wiser over the last few years...haven’t you?

Let’s make one thing clear! No one can fault you for being skeptical.

Too many TV infomercials have hooked winked people into buying electronic vibrator gadgets, which fail to deliver the promised results.

Believe it or not, there are still women out there, who fall for vibrator belts.

These transparent gimmicks, which should have fallen out of favor a long time ago, are still being bought by gullible people, looking for a solution to their weight problems.

I know, right now, you’re probably saying the entire “Weight Loss Industry” is the problem.

But hear me out here and follow my words closely:

Up until this moment, I’m willing to bet that every single weight-loss solution you’ve ever tried; actually targets “fat-FIRST”.

Therein lays the gigantic mistake! The primary target should be the underlying CAUSES of fat-accumulation.

As women, we must dig deeper than simply attacking the surface with the same old-school and outdated tactics, marketers have recycled for the last 4 decades.

Think about it. The Atkins Diet of the 90’s is now called the “Keto” diet...

Today’s P90x is just the digital version of “Buns of Steel” from 20 years ago...

And Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, South Beach and Nutrisystem all found new ways to “glam-up” the sacred-art of counting calories and portion control.

GIMME a BREAK!

The sad and very scary truth is:

Even though you lose the weight at the start using these “fat-first” cardio-saturated rabbit-food diet methods,

You're causing permanent damage to your metabolism and your immune system.

The damage is especially impactful with the DNA in your vital organs with every pound you lose using these recycled, blunt-force-trauma methods.

Trying to lose weight this way is the same as using sand-paper to take off your makeup each night. Imagine that!

In the first place, it is overkill. Secondly, it doesn’t make sense and more importantly – IT’S DANGEROUS!

And trust me I know,

Giving in is easy because each one of their million-dollar marketing tactics preys on women like you.

The marketing department of weight loss companies employs psychologists, who know exactly how to tell you what you want to hear.

They use depth psychology to exploit desperate women, who are genuinely seeking to lose weight.

Of course, they don’t deliver on their promises and never intended to deliver on them in the first place.

Their purpose is to keep on extracting money from you; until, they have sucked the last drop.

It’s not fair and you deserve better!

So let me ask you this, “Doesn’t it make more sense to use a trusted solution that works from the “inside-out” to sync WITH your metabolism in order to ignite your true fat-burning potential?”

So YOU TOO can experience the permanent weight-loss victory you deserve?

Today it’s finally time for you to seize control and lose weight 6 times faster than the most popular commercial diet without counting a single calorie.

Look and feel 10years younger by eating the “comfort-food” TV Doctors are getting paid to say is unhealthy.

Burn belly-fat faster by activating your “rigid DNA code”.

And don’t take my word for it. Hear what women like you are saying about how easy it is to drop weekly dress sizes by doing the exact opposite of what they’ve tried in the past:

Carol-Anne who just left a voice message saying:

Hey Kathy,

I just got my blood tests back and I had to tell somebody!

Anyway, it is official. As of this morning the doctor told me that I don't need to take my thyroid pills anymore!

On top of that, I don't keep a scale at home, so even though getting off the meds is the big win for me, I was really looking forward to weigh myself.

I knew it was going to be good because I’m usually a size 12 and I'm back into size 6 for the first time since my adolescence.

Anyway, I only write to inform you that I’m thrilled by the spectacular lose of 42lbs in just 5weeks.

It’s a brilliant victory.

Thank you very much!

I promise by the time you and I are done here today, you will be well equipped to join the ever growing ranks of women, who are now living delightful and healthy lives.

You too can have these astounding results. You too can experience the feeling of going to bed tonight knowing you have found the last weight loss solution you will ever need.

Feels pretty nice right?

And after all this time _ that’s the peace-of-mind you deserve!

Once you get the ball rolling you can knock over that one “metabolic-domino” sitting inside you right now with the power to unleash a fat-loss cascade.

And finally kick-start your natural fat-burning systems into overdrive for 22hours a day.

In a few weeks, sunshine can return to your life. You would be ready to hit the beach with a lean and toned body.

Instead of continuing to avoid your reflection in the mirror, you’ll find yourself admiring your silhouette in your iphone.

And girl - before we get into this, you need to know that none of this is your fault.

Trust me, when I tell you; it’s NOT because you are “too old” or “too far gone”.

And It’s NOT because you’re undisciplined or unwilling to “put in the work”.

If a 40 year old working mother like me can do it, so can you.

It is never too late to get that dream-life you have always wanted. The only outstanding question is: are you willing to re-invent yourself or not?

If yes; then, let us get right into it!

First off, I was never one of those skinny girls who eat whatever she wants while still looking perfect in every picture she posts on Facebook.

Far from it!

As you can see from these pictures, I’ve always had a turtle-slow metabolism combined with wacky-hair and a complexion that looked like I washed my face with a pork-chop each morning.

I guess you could call me the original “ugly duckling”.

Luckily these battles with weight and body image inspired me to open my own special-place devoted to those looking to reclaim the health, happiness and confidence that had abandoned them so long ago.

Pretty soon after opening my first weight loss center a “buzz” began to circle around the city.

The word was getting out about my ability to arm people with the tools needed to free themselves from the bodies that had held them hostage for so long.

Pretty soon one location became a few… and a couple of clients became THOUSANDS!

Awards, national interviews, speaking engagements...

Everyone wanted to know the secret behind my weight loss formulas and famous, “body re-imaging” formulas.

I cannot tell you how rewarding it is to be at the center of a “weight-loss” breakthrough that had baffled some of the brightest minds for decades.

But then, just when it seemed like everything was going according to plan, something startling happened without warning.

AN EERIE FEELING OF PREMONITION CAME OVER ME AS MY ENERGY LEVELS DWINDLED.

The fat just seems to sneak onto your body one ounce at a time, slowly inflating your waistline while deflating your courage and confidence.

I was working a lot and raising a family so instead of watching what I ate and I neglected my discipline.

I bought bigger clothes and avoided the beach and pools at all costs.

My libido had diminished into a dull-lit flame while my confidence and energy evaporated.

Near the end I couldn’t even play with my daughter without getting tired.

At this point, I just felt like a fraud. I knew I was failing myself, but the worst part was letting down the clients, family and friends who depended on me.

Each little failure was like a hot blade TWISTING away at my self-esteem.

One afternoon, as I sat in the bathroom stall, I overheard two clients talking about me.

I knew I wasn’t looking my best but I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard,

“How can she call herself a professional with that gut hanging over her pants...talk about a horrible example”?

--Another rusting knife TWISTING into my self-esteem --

“Congratulations!” shouted my neighbor across the street praising me for my non-existent pregnancy.

It felt like that blade broke off inside of me when the doctor said...

“You’ll soon be adding diabetes to your hypertension and endometriosis if you keep up with these reckless eating habits.....”

Before I could tell him that I was eating healthy and trying to exercise he showed me a vile of salmon-colored liquid.

“Just look at your blood – All those fatty triglycerides coagulating your veins and arteries have literally TURNED YOUR BLOOD PINK!”

Shame quickly turned to tears, running down my cheeks.

The undisputable truth is physiology is beyond our control.

200,000 years of evolution have conditioned the female body to alter your hormones at different stages of your life.

That’s the price we women pay for nursing new life in our wombs.
