One of the most common reasons why most people do not lose weight
Instead of helping you lose weight, diet drinks, diet snacks, processed foods and artificial sweeteners in your tea and coffee are keeping you fat.
Read on to find out why. . .
Artificial sweeteners overwhelm your liver
Your liver is your largest internal organ, responsible for an astonishing variety of life-sustaining and health-promoting tasks, including those that make healthy weight loss and weight management possible. It’s your liver’s job to distinguish between the nutrients you need to absorb and the dangerous or unnecessary substances that must be filtered out of your bloodstream. But when the liver is clogged and overwhelmed with toxins, like artificial sweeteners, it can’t do a very effective job of processing nutrients and fats which will prevent you from losing weight.
Your liver also produces bile, a crucial substance for detoxifying our bodies. It is the job of bile to help our bodies break down the fats we need and to assimilate fat-soluble vitamins. But when our bile becomes overly congested with the toxins it’s trying to filter out, it simply can’t function properly and it will have a greater difficulty breaking down fat.
A toxin is anything that your body does not recognize as a natural food source
Artificial sweeteners are a toxin because your body does not recognize them as a food source. So the more artificial sweeteners you consume, the more you are overwhelming your liver with toxins and the less able it is to do its job of processing fat. And if the liver can’t do its job, you can’t lose weight or worse yet, you gain weight.
Sweeteners increase your sweet tooth
Saccharin (Sweet n Low) is 300 times sweeter than sugar, aspartame (Equal) is 200 times sweeter than sugar and sucralose (splenda) is 600 times sweeter than sugar. Such sweeteners will increase your taste for sweet things. If you don't overcome your sugar cravings, any healthy eating plan will be difficult. Artificial sweeteners have also been shown to promote the same blood sugar fluctuations as regular sugar, resulting in “sugar lows” which will increase appetite and cravings.
What if you don’t use artificial sweeteners?
Don’t be fooled. Almost every diet product on the market has some kind of artificial sweetener added to it. Even some children’s snacks are now being made with sucralose (Splenda) and most flavored waters contain sucralose or aspartame.

7 Top Tips for Losing Weight
Follow these 7 Top Tips and Start Losing Weight Today
Tip 1) Clean out the pantry
One of the biggest pitfalls in a weight loss program is mindless snacking on junk food when you are tired, bored or hungry. Don’t keep junk food in your home and try not to buy it when out and about. Keep a stock of delicious fresh fruit for when you need a snack.
Tip 2) Stop doing slow boring cardio
Increase the intensity of your workouts and switch to interval training. It is less boring and far more effective.
Tip 3) Use professionally designed, structured workouts
You should be in and out of your workouts in less than 45 minutes, three times per week. On the other 4 days of the week, stay active, getting at least a 30-minute walk in each day.
Tip 4) Set up a home gym to save time.
A ball and adjustable dumbbells is really all you need. If you are feeling adventurous, you can add a pull-up bar. To change your body, you only need a little bit of equipment at home. You don't need an expensive gym membership or one of thosecolossal home gyms.
Tip 5) Watch this Youtube video on how to do Turbulence Training Bodyweight Circuits at home instead of using cardio machines.
=> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=452DfYDuzew
Tip 6) Plan, shop, and prepare your food
Finding the right nutrition program is CRITICAL to success, and so is planning.
You can't out-train a bad diet, but you can out-plan bad habits.
So invest time on the weekend to shop and prepare as many of your fat burning meals as possible for the week ahead.
Tip 7) Get Social Support
This is one of the most important Weight Loss Secret that no one pays attention to.
The bottom line is...you can't do this on your own.
You need support from others to stick to your workouts, to make the right diet choices day-in and day-out and to have someone prop you up when you are feeling down and also to "call you out" when you are feeling like cutting corners.
For more support and day by day programme check out Turbulence Training today

"Sunday almost became the worst day of my life"
Those are the words of my pal Rob Poulos's wife Kalen, the Monday morning after the car accident that almost killed him......and his 2 kids Sarah and Ryan...It came out of nowhere. And Kalen wasn't in the car when it happened.

As you can imagine, Rob has done some crazy things over the past few weeks because of his 'world-rocking' experience...
-He's visited places he's been wanting to see but never got around to going to before
-He's bought things he's always wanted, but had put them off before his accident
And Rob wants to share some of that ACTION TAKING ATTITUDE with you so you can lose weight and get the things in life you want faster and easier than ever.
So Rob is officially declaring 2008 'THE YEAR OF TAKING ACTION'!
This means it is your year for finally getting the flat stomach, tight, lean and strong body you've been putting off. See, he went out and begged the top names in fat loss and fitness for help in making this a fool-proof, no brainer for you, and has put together a wild group of 12 fat loss and fitness guides, audios, and videos......AND GET THIS...THEY'RE COMPLETELY 'FREE OF CHARGE', ON THE HOUSE FOR YOU when you claim your copy of Rob's best selling Fat Burning Furnace system

Eat Out and Still Lose Weight
You Don't Have to Avoid Restaurants to Lose Weight
If you eat at restaurants, either for pleasure or business, it's easy to eat over 1500 or 2000 calories per meal. That's a full day's worth of calories in one sitting!
You can clock up 200 calories from pre-dinner bread & butter and 150 calories from a pre-dinner cocktail - and that's before you start!
Then there is:
Appetizer 500-1500 calorie bomb on it's own
Steak 300-500 calories
Potato 150-300 calories
Vegetable 100 calories
Dinner Drink 150 calories
Dessert - 300-750 calories
After Dinner Drink 150 calories
And that's only if you CONTROL yourself! If you go on a rampage, you could be looking at 2500 or even 3000 calories in one sitting.
Those numbers are scary. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid this dietary nightmare while dining out. Here are 5 rules to cut 1000 calories from your dining-out diet.
1) Plan ahead and avoid restaurants that offer huge portions.
2) Skip the bread.
3) No booze or liquid calories of any type.
4) No potatoes or rice.
5) Stick to protein and vegetables or salad.
6) Have fruit for dessert.
It's all about taking responsibility for your choices. You can still enjoy your meal and the social aspects of eating out without the pain of regret afterwards through feeling full, bloated and knowing you have just consumed a whole days calories in on sitting.
The choice is yours, but if you are serious about losing weight, it's a small price to pay.
Check out my recommended diet site at the Diet Solution today and find out how you can lose weight through following a healthy, nutritious eating plan.

Why Rest is Vital for Weight Loss
Less is More when Training for Fat Loss!
As it's Sunday - the day of rest - today's post is about the importance of rest and it's significance on burning fat and helping you lose weight. In order to reap the benefits from the intense exercise, recommended in this blog to lose weight, you must get adequate rest. In fact, rest is just as important as the actual exercise.
During high intensity resistance exercise, muscles experience tiny injuries or tears. The body's response is to adapt and repair, getting stronger and larger muscles, which of course leads to burning more fat and results in weight loss and a leaner body. But this growth and repair process won't take place if you do not get sufficient rest and you will experience poor results. You won't burn fat the way you should, and you will just end up demotivated or possibly giving up your fat loss efforts altogether.
When giving the body an intense stimulus, such as proper weight training, you can't do this everyday. If you did, you would quickly over train your muscles and negate your body's ability to recover from exercise. Your immune system could become so worn down in fact, that you might even get sick. And this repair and recover process doesn't happen overnight, it usually takes 2 days or more, So make sure to keep between 1-3 days of rest between your properly conducted resistance training workouts, or you will be short-circuiting your chances of success to burn fat and build lean, strong, muscle.
So remember to get enough rest between workouts and also sufficient sleep each night so that you can build the fat burning muscle that will help you transform your body.
If you have not started a weight loss programme yet, please select from one of my recommended sites on the right or go to Fat Burning Furnace and start losing fat fast.

Do You Want Great Abs!
Why Sit-ups are a Waste of Time.
Many people spend a high proportion of their exercise time completing high repetitions of sit-ups and variations of the basic crunch to get a lean, toned mid section. While there is nothing wrong with the sit-up or crunch movement, once you can do 10 reps then you are not putting the muscles under enough stress to work them effectively.
In addition, most of us have excess fat covering our abs which needs to be removed before the abs are revealed. As we cannot target fat loss in a particular area of the body the only method to do this is to exercise for fat loss.
I and many others believe there are much more effective exercises to focus on that will indirectly work the abs and the entire core area as well as working the whole body which will stimulate muscle fibres, increase metabolism and as a result burn fat and reveal those abs.
For an excellent programme to get six pack abs and a lean, sexy body, go to the Truth About Abs and see for yourself why sit-ups are a waste of time.

Cause and Effect
For every effect, there is a cause. Take Responsibility for your weight!
This simple law can be applied to weight loss as the state of your body (effect) doesn't happen by accident, it is a product of what you do or do not do (cause).
A lean body and an overweight body are effects. Both of these effects have causes. If you're overweight, you can create lasting changes 100% of the time if you uncover the cause of the overweight condition and remove it.
The cause of excess body fat in nearly all cases is inactivity, poor nutrition with often negative self-image issues. Drugs and surgery can only treat an effect (the fat). Even if the fat is temporarily removed, it will come back if the cause is still there.
Depending on your genetics, you may never look like a bodybuilder or fitness cover model, but you always have the power to improve your body and your health above and beyond where you are today. You can always improve, no matter where you are now and no matter what your genetic disposition.
How?
By accepting responsibility for your situation and then taking positive action every day for the rest of your life to improve it. There is no alternative, you simply have to change your lifestyle! Try to fight "the law" or shirk hard work by looking for short cuts if you want, but in the end, you'll always lose.
Lifelong health, fitness and a perfect long term body weight do not come out of a bottle or needle and never will - no matter what new concoction they cook up in the lab. If you think otherwise you may gain temporary relief from health problems or enjoy some short-term benefits, but unless you alter your lifestyle, you will not be successful.
Remember the law of cause and effect and start changing the cause today with the help of the Fat Burning Furnace.

One for the Ladies
Should Women Train Differently to Men to Lose Weight?
When it comes to fat loss, both men and women can achieve excellent results by following one of the recommended programmes in this blog. But there is even better news, as women have traditionally trained to lose weight using long cardio sessions in the gym or aerobics classes, when they change to high intensity interval training and high intensity whole body resistance training the results can be amazing.
By using the training methods recommended in this blog women can achieve better results, with a shorter workout, saving time and finally losing stubborn body fat for good. In addition, with this type of training you do not get the overuse injuries caused by the wear and tear on the body from long cardio workouts.
However, even with all the evidence that training with weights is necessary for fat loss, body sculpting and maintaining bone mineral density (thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis) there may be some women who are still not comfortable lifting weights.
So what you can do is reduce the number of weight exercises and replace them with equal intensity bodyweight exercises. Some bodyweight exercises can provide the necessary high intensity resistance training i.e. push ups, pull ups and slow squats that will help burn fat and help those women "mentally" deal with this type of strength training. As long as muscles are significantly stressed they will become stronger, burn fat and boost metabolism, thus helping women achieve the body they deserve and desire.
Have a look at Turbulence Training for Women for a fail safe programme to get you losing weight like never before.

10 Reasons Why You Must Exercise to Lose Weight
Effective Weight Loss can only be achieved through Fat Loss
Fat Loss is your aim when it comes to losing weight for reasons outlined in previous posts and to lose fat you must exercise.
Converting to a healthy, nutritious diet will significantly increase your success but to lose fat you must create a calorie deficit, which means your output (exercise and activity) must be greater than your input (food).
The most effective fat-burning exercise programmes include high intensity weight training and intense interval cardiovascular training. Including both types of exercise in your training schedule provides the following benefits:
1. Increase your metabolism
2. Create a caloric deficit without triggering the starvation response
3. Help you sleep better and manage stress better
4. Develop muscle which burns fat
5. Increase bone density
6. Help control blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity and prevent diabetes

8. Improve mood, helps relieve depression and increases self esteem
9. Increase mobility and quality of life as you get older
10. Help you keep the weight off long term

Fat Loss is your aim when it comes to losing weight for reasons outlined in previous posts and to lose fat you must exercise.
Converting to a healthy, nutritious diet will significantly increase your success but to lose fat you must create a calorie deficit, which means your output (exercise and activity) must be greater than your input (food).
The most effective fat-burning exercise programmes include high intensity weight training and intense interval cardiovascular training. Including both types of exercise in your training schedule provides the following benefits:
1. Increase your metabolism
2. Create a caloric deficit without triggering the starvation response
3. Help you sleep better and manage stress better
4. Develop muscle which burns fat
5. Increase bone density
6. Help control blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity and prevent diabetes
7. Improve cardiovascular health
8. Improve mood, helps relieve depression and increases self esteem
9. Increase mobility and quality of life as you get older
10. Help you keep the weight off long term

The Problem with Diets
The source of your weight loss can be a real problem.
The problem with most so called "weight loss diets" is that you lose weight in the short term but you don't lose fat in the long term.
Weight loss can be achieved through the loss of muscle, bone, internal organs and significant amounts of water. However, instead of lowering your body fat and becoming leaner and more toned, you end up with a massive muscle tissue loss and dehydration both of which can dramatically slow down your metabolism, making you weaker and causing your body to literally hang on to fat at all costs.

If you want a fit, sexy, lean body the weight you lose must be through burning fat.
The only way to know if you've actually lost FAT is with body composition testing. For home body fat self-testing, I recommend the Accu-Measure skin fold caliper as first choice. Even better, get a multi site skin fold caliper test from an experienced tester at a health club.
The biggest weight loss mistake that most people make is going for the quick fix.
If you are serious about losing weight you must master Patience and Perseverance. If you want to lose FAT, not muscle, and if you want to keep the fat off for good, then you have to take off the pounds slowly.
To help you with all aspects of weight loss go to this highly recommended site Turbulence Training and start burning fat today.

What You Must Do to Keep Losing Weight
If your weight loss has come to an abrupt halt you need to read this post.
I hope by now that you have tried one of the weight loss programmes recommended on this blog and achieved great results over the first few weeks. However, if your weight loss is slowing down or stopped completely you need to remember one of the principles given in the first post.
Exercise Variation and Progression
If you stick with the same workout week in week out there will come a time when you no longer lose weight, this is because your body adapts quite quickly to the exercises. To maintain fat loss and keep boosting your metabolism you must have variety in your workouts and progress the intensity.
For best results change your workout every 3 to 4 weeks
By altering your workouts regularly you will also find that your exercise sessions are more enjoyable and less boring. All the weight loss programmes recommended in this blog will help you to vary your workouts and achieve fat loss month after month. However, for a fresh approach and something a little different check out this web site today Combat the Fat to maintain your fat loss efforts.

Weight Loss for Women
High Intensity Resistance and Interval Training is Not Just For Men!
Many women believe that the intense training I recommend in my blog to lose weight through reducing body fat is not for them as they will build large muscles.
This is just not the case as women do not have the physiology to develop large muscles. However, they are able to develop long, lean muscles that will burn fat 24 hours a day and provide that fit, sexy, slim figure most women dream of.
But it will not happen overnight and it will take discipline, dedication and organisation. Fortunately these are usually qualities that most women have because of their multifunctional lifestyle.
One of the main benefits of the weight loss programmes I recommend is that they are intensive, this means they not only give great results but require a very low time commitment. If you are serious about losing weight all you need is 20 minutes, three times a week. That is just one hour per week!
If you want to find out how to lose weight and look great in just one hour per week, go to my recommended site Here and click on the Ladies link.

How Resistance Training Burns Fat
High Intensity Resistance Training is one of the best ways to lose weight.
Most people have been told that cardio training is the most effective way to lose weight, indeed High Intensity Interval Training, discussed in my last post ,will assist with weight and fat loss. However, Resistance Training will multiply your fat loss efforts significantly.
The reason High Intensity Resistance Training is so effective is because it creates metabolic changes within the body, burning fat for at least 24 hours after your workout has finished due to post-exercise oxygen consumption and resulting in an increased metabolic rate 24 hours a day.
But, Resistance Training must be done correctly to deliver this fat burning potential. To ensure your resistance training is effectively reducing fat it is essential that you use:

The Truth About Cardio Training
Why long cardio workouts are not the best way to lose weight.
One of the fitness training principles I mentioned in my first post Weight Loss Programmes that Work was High Intensity Interval Training.
How to get Ripped Abs - this site provides a tried and tested method for losing fat and developing stunning abs. Check out Fat Burning Mistake #3 for endorsement of High Intensity Interval Training.

One of the fitness training principles I mentioned in my first post Weight Loss Programmes that Work was High Intensity Interval Training.
Many instructors still recommend long cardio workouts, training in the "fat burning zone" to lose weight. You may well have followed their advice only to find that you have not achieved the body shape you crave. The reason for this is that while training at this low intensity will indeed burn fat, it only does so at a low level and only during the time you are exercising.
In addition, Scientist believe that this excessive steady state endurance training increases free radical production in the body, can degenerate joints, reduce immune function, cause muscle wasting, and can cause a pro-inflammatory response in the body that can potentially lead to chronic diseases.
Now, apart from all the detrimental effects on your health resulting from low intensity cardio workouts, training that actually causes muscle wastage can never result in weight loss or rather fat loss in the long term. Only by improving the conditional of your muscles will you increase your metabolism and burn fat for 24 hours or more. This can be achieved through High Intensity Interval Training in conjunction with High Intensity Resistance Training.
To summarize, some of the potential benefits of High Intensity Interval Training compared to steady state endurance training are as follows:
- Improved cardiovascular health
- Increased anti-oxidant protection
- Improved immune function
- Reduced risk for joint wear and tear
- Increased muscularity (not muscle bulk, just increased definition and tone)
- Increased residual metabolic rate following exercise
- Increased fat burning during and following exercise
- Lower drop out rates as workouts are less boring!

Lose Weight at Home
If you don't have the time or money to workout in a gym, you can lose weight from home.
Working out in a gym has it's benefits as you will have a range of free weights at your disposal and trained staff to help with your exercise technique. However, attending a gym costs money and time which some of us are unable to commit to. But this does not mean you cannot lose weight effectively.
All the principles of weight loss I mentioned in my first blog Weight Loss Programmes that Work can be followed at home or in your neighbourhood using your own bodyweight and a few select pieces of equipment. The secret to weight loss is doing the right exercises, at the right intensity and with the right variation and progression.
Have a look at this useful site Bodybot.com that demonstrates a great range of exercises providing all of the above with easy to follow video clips and a programming tool that designs your whole workout for you.
If you are going to continue exercising from home then free weights can assist with increasing your workout intensity. Containers such as bottles full of water or sand make great hand weights as long as they are easy to hold, but they must be heavy enough to challenge you while doing 8-10 reps. There are many other household items you can use to add weight to your exercises (watch the Rocky films or just use your imagination).
One item that I would highly recommend is a stability ball, this simple piece of equipment will enable you to significantly increase the range of exercises you are able to perform at home through using it as a bench and through specific stability ball exercises. You can purchase your stability ball and free weights from your local sports shop or better still from an expert functional training site such as PerformBetter.com where you can also download information, training articles and exercises.
So don't let a lack of time or money hold you back, have a look at today's recommended site Here and start working out at home today.

The Importance of Exercise and Diet
To lose weight effectively it is important to review your diet as well as your exercise routine.
Some people will try to convince themselves that if they do enough exercise they can eat what ever they like. Now this might be true for those who are young or do not have a weight problem but for those wishing to lose weight or rather lose fat addressing both issues is vitally important.
But I thought you said diets were no good? - I hear you cry!
There is a difference between "diets" that we get bombarded with day in day out offering all manner of weird and wonderful food combinations, these I refer to as fad diets as they are just that, they are unsustainable and will normally result in long term weight and fat gain even if you experience short term losses.
What I am talking about is your diet, i.e. the food that you eat each day to provide nourishment for your body. The problem most of us have is that we do not eat foods that nourish our body, we eat foods that are highly processed and contain all sorts of additives and chemicals that are highly toxic to our body leading to digestive disorders, low energy levels and even ill health.
So what is a good diet?
From my review of Internet programmes and knowledge of nutrition the only long term method to lose weight and fat - along with the exercise component - is to eat a healthy diet. A diet rich in natural foods, the way nature intended, will help to regulate blood sugar levels, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, eliminate digestive discomfort and clear your skin.
The best programme I have found so far is The Diet Solution Program which is perfect if you have struggled with your weight for many years and are sick and tired of programs that just don’t work in the long term. This programme is also perfect if you want to take control of and reverse health conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease.
The Diet Solution Programme was designed by Isabel De Los Rios, a nutrition and exercise specialist for the past 10 years who has personally worked with hundreds of clients in her own private facility, overseeing successful weight loss programs. This hands on experience with real people solidified the facts and principles she had learned in books, journals and from other health professionals.

Some people will try to convince themselves that if they do enough exercise they can eat what ever they like. Now this might be true for those who are young or do not have a weight problem but for those wishing to lose weight or rather lose fat addressing both issues is vitally important.
But I thought you said diets were no good? - I hear you cry!
There is a difference between "diets" that we get bombarded with day in day out offering all manner of weird and wonderful food combinations, these I refer to as fad diets as they are just that, they are unsustainable and will normally result in long term weight and fat gain even if you experience short term losses.
What I am talking about is your diet, i.e. the food that you eat each day to provide nourishment for your body. The problem most of us have is that we do not eat foods that nourish our body, we eat foods that are highly processed and contain all sorts of additives and chemicals that are highly toxic to our body leading to digestive disorders, low energy levels and even ill health.
So what is a good diet?
From my review of Internet programmes and knowledge of nutrition the only long term method to lose weight and fat - along with the exercise component - is to eat a healthy diet. A diet rich in natural foods, the way nature intended, will help to regulate blood sugar levels, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, eliminate digestive discomfort and clear your skin.
The best programme I have found so far is The Diet Solution Program which is perfect if you have struggled with your weight for many years and are sick and tired of programs that just don’t work in the long term. This programme is also perfect if you want to take control of and reverse health conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease.
The Diet Solution Programme was designed by Isabel De Los Rios, a nutrition and exercise specialist for the past 10 years who has personally worked with hundreds of clients in her own private facility, overseeing successful weight loss programs. This hands on experience with real people solidified the facts and principles she had learned in books, journals and from other health professionals. The best part about Isabel’s program is that this new way of life is not some torturous eating regimen. She really shows you that you can eat delicious food, combined the right way, to lose weight and maintain it.

Getting Started
So, you want to lose weight, but with so many options - how do you know what will work?
Should you join a gym, aerobics classes, try pilates or yoga, get a personal trainer, follow a workout DVD or online programme or just look for a diet that promises you will lose weight overnight?
If you have surfed the net for weight loss solutions, you will have found thousands of sites promising a quick fix, from fad diets and pills to all kinds of weird and wonderful training contraptions; or instructors that recommend hours of cardio training. Such solutions may result in some weight loss but more often than not they will slow your metabolism and in the longer term make you gain more weight.
Now, I'm not knocking all instructors that you find in gyms, teaching classes or personal training as they are often knowledgeable and experienced and sometimes you will find one who really understands weight loss. But it is a bit of a lottery and you want a training and diet plan that is proven to work and doesn't waste your time.
The first thing to realise if you want a strong, healthy, fit looking body is that losing weight is not about losing weight at all, it is about losing fat. It is also about developing a strong, lean physique, having bundles of energy, a strong immune system, great self confidence and looking and feeling younger than your age. Who wouldn't want that! And once you have it why would you ever want to throw it all away?
This leads me to my second point that getting in shape and staying in shape is a long term lifestyle choice that cannot be achieved by a quick fix diet pill. It can be achieved through the principles I outlined in my first blog 2 days ago - read it now if you haven't already.
The best ways to lose weight and look great, whether you want to train at a gym or at home, is to understand what exercises to do, what foods to eat and how to put it all into practice.

If you want to find the Best Ways to Lose Weight and Look Great, read on . . .
After 14 years working in the fitness industry, helping people to lose weight and look great, I have first hand experience of what works and what does not. Now that I am living in a foreign country as a house wife with time on my hands, I thought I would put my knowledge and experience to good use by helping you choose a weight loss solution designed to get results.
There are many options to choose from and while Personal Training or joining a Gym would seam the logical place to start, in reality these options are both time and money intensive and unfortunately not all fitness trainers have the level of knowledge and experience required to help you lose weight effectively.
Most of us do not exercise regularly because we lack the time and/or money to do so. Why not take advantage of some of the best fitness advice from the worlds experts at a fraction of the cost and that get results in a fraction of the time with an online programme you can do yourself or ideally with your friends.
The problem is there are thousands of web sites offering solutions to lose weight, burn fat, get a six pack and look ten years younger.
So how do you know what will work and what is a waste of your hard earned money?
Well, that is where I come in. Fortunately I have the time to review these programmes and the knowledge and experience to know what works when it comes to weight loss and burning fat.
So what are the things you need to look for?
Here are some of the fitness training and nutrition principles, that have been proven to boost metabolism and achieve fat loss, helping you lose weight and increase muscle tone:
But for those of you who want to get started today have a look at these two sites I recommend:
