Learn the key distinction that is the absolute difference between
losing weight and regaining it back or Losing It Permanently!

–  A Quick Note:

If you don’t think you’re not prepared to hit the weights just yet
we recommend you reduce your calories to jump start your weight loss.

But when you do this you have to be careful to keep a balance of
protein and nutrition so we recommend a meal replacement called
“Formula 1″.

– Why NOT Losing Weight isn’t such a bad thing!?

In order to feel good about the hard work you are doing you need to
see results. To lose the weight you want and see lasting results
understanding the difference between weight loss and fat loss is key.

To see your weight loss clearly you must not obsess over your bathroom
scale, rely more on visual stimulus, and your pay attention to your
sense of well-being.

The difference between fat loss and weight loss is critical to
getting your body into the shape you have always dreamed about.

Taking measurements is the best way to see the results of your fat
loss plan. Just because your weight has not changed does not mean
that fat isn’t being lost.

If you are eating properly, drinking plenty of water, and working
out something interesting happens. You will get smaller, but your
weight loss slows down.

To grasp this concept, let’s take a closer look at lean muscle. Why
do we call it lean muscle? Correct, it has no fat. The lack of fat
creates greater density.

Muscle is actually 3 times as dense as fat. That means that 3
pounds of muscle occupies the same space as 1 pound of fat.

(This helps to visualize this idea.)

1 pound of muscle = O
1 pound of fat    = OOO

5 pounds of muscle = OOOOO
5 pounds of fat    = OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After looking at 5 pounds of fat, you can see how fat can start
to completely consume your shape. For a true to life example,
take a look in the butcher section of your favorite grocery
store. 1 pound of bacon, which on average is 50% fat,
occupies twice as much space as 1 pound of lean meat such as
filet mignon.

So don’t be so consumed with the almighty scale. With proper diet,
water, and exercise, you will reach a point where weight loss slows
down. But that doesn’t mean you have stopped losing fat. You have
also started building muscle.

As your body begins to build muscle, not superhero bodybuilder
muscle, but lean toned and defined muscle, it will begin to add
lean mass. This is what you want to achieve.

Not only does that muscle give you more energy to move through your
day and allow you to have more intense workouts, but it also has an
affect on your metabolism.

Adding muscle will make your body feel lighter… This goes a long
way toward helping you get up and get moving everyday.

Each pound of muscle in your body burns between 35-50 calories
daily just to maintain itself. 5 pounds of muscle will burn at
least 1,200 calories on a weekly basis.

One of the things you must be careful of when it comes to losing
weight and fat is knowing when to reduce calories and when to just
replace bad calories with good ones.

The equation is simple if you want to lose weight with diet alone.
Eat less calories than your body will naturally use in a day. If
you are not exercising, you must be very strict in monitoring where
these calories come from.

Let’s say that you need 2,000 calories to maintain current body
weight. These 2,000 calories are burned daily through normal
metabolic processes.

If you consume more calories than you burn, your body will store
the extra calories as fat for use at a later time. An extra 3,500
calories turns into one pound of fat in your body.

However, if you take in less calories than you need , your body
will burn fat to maintain normal daily functions. A 500 calorie
daily reduction results in a pound of fat being lost in a week.

You have to be careful where your calories come from, especially if
you’re not exercising. Avoid calories high on the Glycemic Index
(GI) like those found in sodas, candy, even fruit and juices. These
calories come from sucrose, glucose, and fructose. All of which are
simple sugars.

The Glycemic Index (GI) measures the effect of foods on your blood
sugar levels. This is critical information that you need to know to
lose fat.

When your blood sugar levels are high, your pancreas releases
insulin, a storage hormone, to help your body process the sugars.
Insulin allows the sugars, or glucose, to be stored by your cells.
Particularly fat cells.

Your body will burn the glucose first, giving you a sugar rush and
leaving the fat behind. The glucose is already in your fat cells.
Any unused sugar is then easily converted into fat. Your fat cells
enlarge and weight gain increases. This is counterproductive.

The benefits of eating foods low on the GI are many. Foods with a
low GI rating are digested more slowly. They don’t heighten your
blood sugar levels, which we already know triggers an invasion of
insulin.

With less insulin present, your body burns the low GI calories
rather than storing them. And they provide real, sustained energy.
You won’t get that sugar high and then crash. You’ll stay constant
all day. And you’ll be full. That slow breakdown is satisfying.

Again, you must be cautious here and truly understand this
information. Just because carbs are OK, doesn’t mean you can go
crazy. Everything in moderation. Don’t eat a heaping plate of
spaghetti. Eat a side dish of whole wheat pasta.

You can use a general tell all to know if a food ranks high on the
GI. Overly sweet fruits and vegetables, such as pineapple, raisins,
and carrots have a high GI. They rank right up there with pure sugar.

Any white carbohydrate ranks high as well. Stay away from potatoes,
white bread and regular pasta. These are all simple carbohydrates
that easily convert to sugar. It is also easy to eat this foods in
excess as they are satisfying.

Keep these ideas in mind. We will provide specific information on
diet and the Glycemic Index in the coming newsletters.

Presented today are a few concepts that you need to familiarize
yourself with. It is a lot of information and we will help you
achieve a greater understanding during the next few emails.

The more you know the wiser you grow.

Here is a quick recap of the information provided today.

-Visual measurements are better than relying on you scale.

-Fat loss changes your shape as much as weight loss.

-Each pound of toned, lean muscle will bun 35-50 calories daily.

-One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories.

-Muscle is 3 times as dense as fat.

-Simple sugars ranked high on the Glycemic Index (GI) promote fat
growth.

-Complex carbohydrates ranked low on the GI keep you energized and
lowers your blood sugar levels.

-Lower blood sugar inhibits the release of insulin which stores
calories in your fat cells.

-Keep up the good work. Don’t get overwhelmed in the information.
Clarity comes with practice.

So be thinking about what it takes to get lifting weights. Add
weight lifting into your daily routine, alone with cardio.

Bill Phillips wrote a great book that is both simple and clear
on how you should be working out. It is pretty intense but it is
worth doing.

– In the next lesson we will discuss the power of your cardio
workout and how it will help you increase your energy levels.

Have another awesome and energized day.

save it for lesson 7 and for now we’ll recommend you reduce your
calorie intake by using a meal replacement that still satisfies yet
reduces your calories enough to force your existing system to begin
the fat burning process.

You can kind of think of this as a primer… lower your calories
using “Formula 1″ for about 3 weeks and begin stretching and walking.

This is how our other members have eased into a strong workout routine.
