6 Strange Dietary Bedfellows

You know, fitness and nutrition guy Jon Benson has a humorous way of putting things that we all need to hear. I received this email from him today and had to share it with you. It's not only funny, it's true.

Read on…

6 Strange Dietary Bedfellows

—————————————————————–|

Lewis, what do these six things have in common?

– McDonalds
– Renée Zellweger
– Epileptic children
– Yours truly
– Most bodybuilding and fitness competitors
– Kiefer Sutherland

Give up?

All the above employ the strategies of the low-carb dietplan.

Recently researchers have found that low-carb nutrition plan
reduced the number of seizures in epileptic children.

Most of the world's leanest physiques get that way on a
regimen, limited or not, of low-carbs and higher protein.

Even McDonalds is getting into the act.

Even Renée Zellweger.

Even Kiefer Sutherland.

Even me.

Kinda.

Read on and I'll explain what I mean….

—————————————————————–|

Why Low-Carb Works

—————————————————————–|

When McDonalds starts counting carb grams in their food, you
know someone is either jumping on a trend or finally seeing
the light.

In this case, both — but it is a good thing. Low-carb
dietplans. They work.

For the masses, they work because they are the easiest
nutrition plan to follow when you're busy.

McDonalds and stars like Kiefer Sutherland figured this out.
The busy on-the-go guy or gal doesn't want to make the time to
prepare six meals per day and carry them around in Tupperware.

When choosing my own lifestyle nutrition plan, time and
convenience played a major role. I looked at role models who
were very busy, formerly obese, and very lean.

Most of them rely in some form or fashion on a low-carb
strategy.

Low-carb also works, much to the hem and haw of traditional
doctors and nutritionists, due to the way the body processes
fuel.

For those of us fortunate enough to grow up on whole grains
and very low-sugar mealplans, a moderate to higher-carb
nutrition plan may work just fine.

But most of us grew up eating junk.

Processed foods, fast foods, and downright junk was the
cornerstone of our dietplans. That puts your body on the carb
defense.

After years of abuse the body becomes resistant to
carbohydrates. The insulin they produce can cause all sorts of
health issues, fat-burning problems, and more.

When carbs are removed, even healthy carbs like whole grains,
the body has time to re-adjust.

In some cases, you can go back to a moderate-carb plan with
whole grains and fruits after a period of time.

In others, you are a "Low-carber" for life.

Guess which one I am?

Finally, low-carb works because you tend to eat less. Fat is
very satiating, and most low-carb plans are fairly high in
dietaryfat.

So, in recap:

– Easy and convenient;
– Metabolically important for carb recovery;
– Lower in total food volume (eat less)

Do not make light of that first point. Any plan that is not
simple is one very few people will stick to. Making your plan
simple and tasty is key, even if that plan is not perfect by
nutritional standards.

Now, by far, the best low-carb dietplan in the world (yes, I'm
bias for good reason!) is this:

click.here ——> Presentation on my Favorite Foods Dietplan

EODD works so well because your carbs are low for "most" of
the time. Not "all" of the time. And the times when your carbs
are not low you can enjoy your favorite foods.

Personally I enjoy pizza and burgers on my non-low-carb days.
You can enjoy whatever you want if you just keep it reasonable.

You see, there's no need to diet-perfect.

Progress always trumps perfection.

—————————————————————–|

Why Low-Carb Fails

—————————————————————–|

There are two primary reasons for the failure of the low-carb
nutrition plans: boredom and media bashing.

One causes irritability. The other, doubt. Unless you're
certain that your plan will work, you will eventually go off
of it.

This is true of any plan, no matter how ideal it is. Certainty
rules.

That's why I believe in having a flexible, tasty plan like EODD.

Then boredom is easily solved.

I share my own unique ideas about "cycling" carbs and fats in
the presentation here:

click.here ——> Presentation on my Favorite Foods Dietplan

Using my cycle strategy you will rarely if ever become bored.
And your body will shed more bodyfat too. It's just a cheap
metabolic trick…but boy, it works.

The second reason is media and medical bias. One study after
another has proven that low-carb plans, even the Atkins plan,
works and is safe to use for most people.

Check with your doctor first, of course.

I've seen researchers get down-right angry when the results
come back. In one study, carried out for a full year, the low-
carb plan out-performed the so-called "healthy" Dean Ornish
plan.

Lower blood fats, more fatloss, and more energy were the
results.

My preference always comes back to low-carb nutrition. I just
cycle it in a way that allows me to get plenty of veggies,
some grains, and ample fiber.

Even a slice of cheesecake here and there… : )

Hey…I said "low-carb", not low-life!

Yours In Fitness,

J O N B E N S O N

P.S. One of these days the mainstream medical community will
wake up to the fact that 90% of the population will never eat
15 servings of veggies per day.

While this may be "optimal", it's not at all practical. I'd
rather give you down-to- earth practical nutrition advice that
you CAN and WILL follow and enjoy.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

Moderate-Intensity Exercise May Melt More Pounds

Moderate-Intensity Exercise May Melt More Pounds

Editor's Note: Do you ever wonder what's best – daily intense exercise or daily moderate exercise? In this article, Jon stresses the importance of moderate-intensity exercise for optimal results.

By Jon Benson
http://www.myeveryotherdaydiet.com
http://your7minutemuscle.com

The Every other Day Diet

I’ve been preaching the benefits of moderate-intensity cardiovascular activity for burning more body fat for years. I’m not talking about yard work or cleaning your house — I’m talking about brisk walks (especially done fasting first thing in the morning) and other forms of long duration moderate exercise. The routines in Fit Over 40 that I personally give are perfect examples of blending low and high intensity exercise in a way to get the best out of both methods of training.

We now know that this form of exercise is all the heart requires to maintain optimum health from numerous studies. The rub is the frequency — this must be a daily or near-daily activity. Also, I certainly do not exclude intense exercise such as weight training and hard cardio done infrequently from one’s total health and fitness routine. Quite the contrary. If you ignore the power of intensity altogether, you will simply never get the body most of us want.

Here’s a new study on the subject from The International Journal of Sports Medicine. This should come as wonderful news for all of us over 40 who simply do not fair well with daily intense exercise.

(Reuters Health) – A brisk walk through the park might be better than a fast run when it comes to shedding pounds, a small study suggests.

Researchers found that among 14 women who embarked on a three-month exercise regimen, those who worked out at a moderate pace lost more weight than those who exercised more intensively.

But it’s not time for runners to start slowing down, according to the study authors. For one, women in the higher-intensity exercise group did retain more muscle mass than those who worked out more moderately. (Jon's Note: While this is true, muscle mass needs to be increased, not merely maintained. Running cannot accomplish this, but resistance training most certainly can.)

More importantly, though, there is no such thing as one “magic exercise,” said lead study author Dr. Vassilis Mougios of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece.

To get the greatest health and fitness benefits, he told Reuters Health, people should strive for a mix of moderate and vigorous cardiovascular exercise, as well as strength training.

To study the question, Mougios and his colleagues randomly assigned 14 normal-weight and overweight women to one of two groups: one that exercised on a treadmill at a moderate pace, four times a week; and one that worked out at a more vigorous clip, also four times per week.

The researchers set the duration of the workouts so that women in both groups would burn 370 calories each time. After three months, exercisers in both groups were slimmer, but the lower-intensity group lost more weight — about 7 pounds, on average, compared with 4 pounds in the high-intensity group.

Fat-free mass decreased slightly (less than half a pound) in the low-intensity exercisers and increased slightly (about 1 pound) in the high-intensity group.

It’s possible, according to Mougios, that women in the high-intensity group shed fewer pounds because they ended up eating more, or were so drained by their regimen that they relaxed more in their leisure time.

In turn, the women may have held on to more muscle simply because they lost less weight. On the other hand, the researchers note, high-intensity exercise may actually spur some growth in muscle fibers.

The bottom line, according to Mougios, is that people should stay active with various forms of exercise. But for those who want to know whether they’re working hard or moderately, he said a heart rate monitor or some simple pulse checks during the workout will provide that information.

Muscle-shaping 101: 5 Tips (Part 1)

lewis — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:16:11 +0000

[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ]

Ever heard of Rowdy Gains?

Rowdy was swimmer and Olympic gold-medalist in the 1984 Olympics.

But that’s not what made Rowdy special.

And certainly not what makes his story worth reading when it comes to muscle-shaping secrets.

Over the next few days I’m going to be sharing 5 Tips for putting on lean muscle. If you want to put on a 2 lbs or 20lbs of muscle, these 5 Tips will help you do it faster than ever.

Remember: Muscle burns calories at rest… the more lean muscle you have the less bodyfat you’ll have if you eat the way I suggest. It’s as simple as that.

Back to Rowdy Gains…

His story is golden because of “how” he won the medal.

You see, Rowdy was an underdog. He was considered too old to be a legitimate threat in the race, despite being a world record-holder. He has missed his prime due to the boycott of the 1980 Olympics.

But Rowdy had a good coach (more on that tomorrow)… and his coach knew the power of “distinctions”…

Distinctions are the subtle things that turn average into excellence and losers into winners. Often distinctions are so hard to spot that even the smartest people miss them.

The men and women who succeed massively rarely miss them.

Rowdy was focused on the race… but his coach was focused on the distinctions.

“What can Rowdy do that no one else is doing to give him an edge?”

Well, his savvy coach noticed that the guy who started the race was calling “on your marks…” and then quickly firing the starting-gun. Very quickly in fact.

His coach came up to him moments before the race and said, “Rowdy, jump early.”

And jump early he did. He was first off the blocks and never looked back.

Turns to find out that his time off the blocks was the difference between winning and losing. And the second place guy was furious! He was hitting the wall and yelling about the “false start”… but there was not a false start upon reply.

Just a savvy start! A start based on one, small, tiny… actually monumentally huge distinction.

The first thing you need to ask yourself when it comes to your weight-training goals is this:

“What small distinctions can I make to turn an average workout into a super-productive workout”?

Again, these are small distinctions… little things that add up to huge gains.

Here’s an example:

When doing a chest press exercise, I have two distinctions that have made all the difference in my chest gains.

First, I turn my palms inward, rather than facing out, when pressing with dumbbells. Obviously this does not work with barbell presses, but I use mostly dumbbells.

The result? No rotator cuff or shoulder injuries.

This alone has allowed me to train three more months out of each year. That’s how much time I used to lose before an orthopedic surgeon gave me this tip.

Second, when pressing, I explode up. Then I slow DOWN… I always lower the weight slower than I lift it up. This gives me TWO growth factors rather than just one in the same movement, and without one second difference in the gym.

Again… distinctions.

If you want my book on the best distinctions I’ve ever used for gaining lean muscle, then go here:

5 Surprising Things That Make You Leaner

5 Surprising Things That Make You Leaner

By Jon Benson ,
http://myeveryotherdaydiet.com

Want to be leaner?

Good deal… here's 5 tips that will help you along…

TIP 1
Ditch The Starch

Starches, such as rice, potatoes, some veggies, oats, etc. are
often considered "health foods."

While they can be healthy, they can also pack on stomach bodyfat like crazy if you overdo them.

As you may know, my "Every Other Day Diet" System (EODD) actually encourages you to eat starches and even sweets several days a week to get rid of excess bodyweight:

http://myeveryotherdaydiet.com <– go

Well… how does THAT work?

Simple: Timing is everything.

And it takes a "weekly" approach to foods rather than a daily
approach. This keeps your metabolism guessing. If your body cannot figure out what you're up to, fatburning is that much more
powerful. And you can get by with eating starches… at least a
specific times on specific days.

But if you're not going to do EODD, then you'll have to wing it.
And the best way to wing it is to simply cut starches out entirely
for 4-8 weeks. Then slowly add them back a few days per week.

This is no where near as effective (or as fun) as the EODD method, but it will get you pointed in the right direction.

TIP 2
Can The Sodas

Why diet-sodas? A recent study revealed that people who drank
diet-sodas actually increased bodyfat when compared to those who drank sugar-sodas.

What the… ??

Yep. Your body cannot be fooled by aspartame and chemicals. Sorry, but that's the truth.

Here's a personal story: When I cut out the diet-sodas my bodyfat drops like a rock in a pond of clear water.

And that's what you need to be drinking: A quart of pure water per 50 lbs of bodyweight a day.

Try mixing water with lemon and a bit of Stevia (an herbal
sweetener) and make lemonade. It's wonderful!

TIP 3
Stay Hungry

It takes a special person to be hungry… and an even greater one
to stay that way.

I want you to stay hungry in two ways: In how you workout and
literally… stay a bit hungry before you go to bed. Not "starving"… just a bit hungry.

For your workouts, I have a great solution. If you pick up EODD
you'll get a limited shot at "7 Minute Body"… Jon Benson's
combination of "7 Minute Muscle" and "The 7 Minute In-Home Workout" in one book… and for more than half off… but that's a very limited deal.

Gotta have EODD… you'll need them both…

http://myeveryotherdaydiet.com <– go

You see, progression — "forced" progression — is the best way to
stay hungry. 7 Minute Body forces you to progress without thinking about it. Progression is built into the System.

As far as staying hungry at night? Check with your doctor and if
he/she okays it take 500mg of potassium and 1000mg of
magnesium/calcium a few hours prior to bed. This helps with the
hunger pangs. Also, keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. If you get really hungry, eat one with half the yolk (toss the other half.) It keeps you full for an hour at least.

TIP 4
Cardio Clarity

Hours and hours of cardio a day is not the answer. However, you can do "light" cardio (i.e. brisk walking, or riding the bike at 60% of your max) just to burn off calories. That's okay… and personally I don't find it that boring if I'm watching a TV show. It does not interfere with my main fatloss exercise (weight training… YES!) and it burns off about 400 calories an hour.

What does work is early morning fasting cardio… but you only need 9-15 minutes. Jon Benson explains GXP (Modified) in the 7 Minute Body book, available only if you pick up EODD, and you can get it at more than half off:

http://myeveryotherdaydiet.com <– go

TIP 5
Get Raw At Night

Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help
your fatburning along. Try starting with red peppers because
they're sweet. You you'll eat virtually every veggie raw at night
without thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fatloss is well
worth it.

P.S. Jon is still giving away "Radical Fatloss Blueprint" along
with EODD for a few more days. And I'm giving a lucky few the
chance to pick up the Supplement-Kit that comes with Radical
Fatloss for almost 100 bucks off… the video and details are here:

Sorry… EODD Readers Only…. so pick it up today.

3 Rebel Fatloss Tricks

lewis — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:00:50 +0000

[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ]

You know what?

I like “weird.”

I’ve always been a bit on the fringe side of the fence if you know what I mean.

A bit of a rebel.

So were guys like Einstein, Mozart, and Picasso. Not that I’m putting myself into their category of genius by any stretch… but I love their approach to life.

BE BOLD…OR GO HOME.

Makes sense to me. This life it too darn short for anything less than being bold.

That means taking some risks here and there. That means taking action while the others are content to sit on the couch being the same person they were yesterday.

And the day before…

And the month before…

And the year before.

Do you want to live your years like that? Or do you want to dive into life? Be the greatest “you” possible?

Then be a bit of a rebel.

Here’s some “rebel tips” for fatloss I think you’ll enjoy…

REBEL TIP 1
Flip The Food Pyramid Upside-down

The USDA’s Food Pyramid is an utter joke. It’s origins stink up the joint, let me tell you.

First, the grain industry was in a pinch when the Food Pyramid was created. And wouldn’t you know it… the grain industry increased their “contributions” (read: bribes) to certain politicians to get placement atop the pyramid… or in this case at the very bottom. The “foundation” if you will.

Just think about this for a moment:

The USDA wants you to eat (gasp) MORE starch than vegetables? More bread than fruits, lean meats, and hormone-producing fats?

Are they NUTS??

Yes… they are nuts. (Which, by the way, are no where near the foundation… nuts, that is.)

You’d be better off flipping the sucker upside-down.

That would look like this:

40% of your cals from healthy fats 30% of your cals from protein 30% of your cals from carbs

Roughly, that is.

Sounds… rebellious, right? Well it is.

Too bad I have the science (and the abs) to back it up.

If you want a system laid out for you, then go here:

The Every Other Day Diet The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!

REBEL TIP 2
Cardio Is Not Smart-ee-o

At least the way the so-called “experts” want you to do it.

Look: This isn’t rocket science. Just walk into any gym…take a look at the folks who only do cardio work for 45-60 minutes every day.

Do they look any different from year to year?

Let me save you some time: NO. They do not.

Cardio (unless you are into endurance sports) is a waste of energy done this way. First, it increases your carbohydrate cravings. For most people that’s not a good thing. Why? Because cardio at this pace burns mostly SUGAR, not bodyfat.

What do you want to burn?

Exactly. Bodyfat.

Finally, cardio is no where near as efficient as resistance training at dissolving bodyfat… and certainly not even CLOSE to resistance training when it comes to shaping lean muscle and getting the look all these cardio bunnies are after.

Now, I ‘do’ have a rebel cardio trick… and it takes 9-15 minutes 2-3 times a week to perform.

That’s it. And you get ALL the benefits heart-wise of long-session cardio.

Combine that with some brisk walking and my overall fitness plan and presto: No more bodyfat.

Here’s what is cool: I put my new in-home version of this resistance-based workout online for a few days at a major discount… but it’s only for people who pick up this:

The Every Other Day Diet The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!

This is completely illustrated with photos too… and you do not need anything but resistance bands and perhaps some cheap dumbbells to do this in-home. Or you can use the gym-based workouts (included with videos.)

Train like this just 3-5 days a week and you can kiss long, boring cardio goodbye.

REBEL TIP 3
Do Not Overwork Your Abs

Here’s a mistake I see most people make in the gym: They do endless sets of crunches, leg raises, and (gasp again) sit-ups… all geared toward seeing those toned abs they want.

Guess what?

Waste of time.

In fact, it’s worse than that… it can literally shut down your recovery ability. You’ll slow your progress in the gym (or at home)… and your fat-burning too.

And you may give up your plan entirely because of it.

Here’s the brutal truth: Ab ‘muscles’ are easy to build. It only takes about 3 minutes 2-3 times a week… that’s it.

( Note: I included my “3 Minute Abs” in the fitness book I just told you about… it’s only for those who get EODD though… )

The muscles are not what make your stomach flatter… it’s the nutrition plan folks.

You’re just building muscle underneath layers of bodyfat… not good.

I do very little direct ab training. When I do it’s usually 3-5 minutes tops 2 days a week. And my abs are… well… good. : )

I rely on resistance training and my special “favorite foods dietplan” to get and stay lean.

More about it all here:

The Every Other Day Diet The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!

So be a rebel.

Thumb your nose at the establishment and step out on your own.

Trust me: You’ll be a leader in every sense of the word if you do.

Fitness One-liners: The Best Diet/Workout Ever

Fitness One-liners: The Best Diet/Workout Ever

By Jon Benson
http://myeveryotherdaydiet.com
http://your7minutemuscle.com

What is your favorite one-liner?

Most people think of one-liners as either pick-up lines for the ladies or one-liner jokes.

Rodney Dangerfield was a master of one-liner jokes.

One of my favorite was:

“When it comes to women, I never cry…I beg.”

I guess that’s both a joke and a pick-up line! Ha….

Anyway, my one-liners are no where near as funny. They also do not land me dates.

Over the past three weeks or so I’ve noticed that my one-liners are all super-fast answer to pretty complicated questions.

Questions like…

“What’s the best dietplan for me?”
“What’s the best workout you’ve ever used?”
“How can I lose this bodyweight and eat like a normal person?”
“How can I workout when I only have 30 minutes a day to spare?”
“What is the capital of Arkansas?”

(That last question was to see if you are paying attention… ; )

And so-on it goes.

Folks, these are NOT simple questions to answer. There are a lot of variables.

What foods do you like? What foods are you allergic to? Have you ever trained with weights? Do you train at home?

That’s just for starters.

So, I came up with my fitness one-liners.

What I didn’t know was that I was actually outlining the basics in two of my own books: The Every Other Day Diet… and 7 Minute Muscle.

Since I’ve shared these on countless interviews and in-person, I thought I would share them with you today.

These Fitness One-liners are basically my best shot at answer this question:

“What is the best diet/exercise plan for me?”

I may be chopping myself off at the ankles financially, but if you apply these simple “Fitness One-liners” you may not need any other book or plan to get into descent shape.

If you want to get into “great” shape, then sure… you may need more. My books cover that “more” part.

But some of you cannot afford them right now and just want a place to start.

So, I’m going to give it to you. I want to see each of you succeed.

If you can, grab a book or two at the bottom of this email. This is all I do for a living.

If you can’t, take these Fitness One-liners and run with them. You can make some pretty remarkable progress.

Let me cover a few ground rules first, okay:

These are one-liners, not “details”. If you want details, books are required. Otherwise you’d be reading a novel for an email!
These one-liners will work for “most” people “most” of the time. Again, if you need specifics (like if you are diabetic, or if you are working out at home) you need more information.
Finally, these are my overriding guidelines. In each of my books I give exceptions to these guidelines… but when it comes right down to brass tax, this is what I suggest for most people.

Ready?

DIETPLAN ONE-LINER:
“Eat 2-3 days very low-carb, then one day higher carb, then repeat.”

That’s it.

Of course there are tons of details, but that’s the one-liner. Eat nothing but veggies, protein, and healthy fats for 2-3 days, then take a day to increase your carbohydrates. You can increase your carbs by eating an “off-meal” (a junk-food meal) or if you are really serious about dropping bodyfat by eating yams, brown rice, or other natural unprocessed starches.

Just do yourself a favor and eat something you really enjoy at least once per week.

If you simply avoid adding excessive amounts of fats to your low-carb days and take in only the fats you need (a bit of coconut oil, olive oil, and natural real butter is fine… but a BIT is not a GOB!) you will naturally eat less on these days. Then on your higher-carb days you will naturally eat more.

This is called “caloric staggering” — and it’s the secret behind most successful nutrition plans we fitness types use.

FITNESS PLAN ONE-LINER:
“Do one exercise per bodypart, one exercise per day, Monday-Friday, and start with 10 reps, resting only 30 seconds between sets, and stop when you cannot get 3 reps.”

Okay, that was a massive one-liner and a run-on sentence… : )

If I had to do ONE thing in the gym, or even out of the gym, this is what it would be.

And I do this all the time. It’s “almost” like my 7 Minute Muscle, but it’s not quite as effective. Still, it works.

Here’s an example:

Work your chest on Monday, your back on Tuesday, your shoulders on Wednesday, your legs on Thursday and your arms on Friday. Work abs and calves at least twice per week as you see fit.

Normally training five days in a row would lead you to over-train, but doing only one “long” set with mini-rest intervals and only one movement keeps your workout under 7 minutes. Most people will not over-train.

Let’s take Monday’s workout: Chest.

Let’s assume you’re doing Incline Smith Machine Presses. (Note: Use any compound movement, but do not use isolation movements.)

I would warm up for a minute or two, then put my 10-rep weight on the bar. I would to 10 reps, rest for 30 seconds, then try 10 more. I will probably get 8 this time due to the limited rest. Then rest 30 seconds, and so-on.

I would stop when I could not get more than 3 reps.

If you do not want a lot of muscle mass, stop when you cannot get more than 6 reps.

That’s it… and we’re talking about some hard work, but short… 3-7 minutes TOPS.

Now obviously you may need more than this, but you’d be shocked at how far this can take you.

If you want more than a One-Liner, then go here:

7 Minute MuscleClick Here

This is my 7 Minute Muscle System. And on the pre-checkout page you will be given the option to get my Every Other Day Diet System along with it for a 30 buck discount.

That will give you more than a one-liner — that will give you a plan for life.

Yours in Fitness,

This 1 weird tip works for flattening the belly

This 1 weird tip works for flattening the belly

Some of my greatest progress in life has come by listening to my elders.

Wisdom often comes with age.

Well in this case, fatloss wisdom comes with really, really… REALLY old age.

I'm talking Fred Flintstone-age.

But once I saw how it works, it made perfect sense to try it myself…

… and what do you know?

10 Fatloss Questions You Should Be Asking ( Part 1 )

lewis — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:00:39 +0000

[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ]

There’s stuff you know.

Then there’s stuff you don’t know.

But the key to success in anything is the discovery of one other variable:

The things you don’t know you don’t know.

Think about that.

So many people ask me questions like…

– How can I get rid of my stubborn bodyfat?
– How fast can I do it?
– What’s the best dietplan for me?

These are good questions, don’t get me wrong.

But there are at least 10 questions most people never know to ask.

It’s the stuff they didn’t know they didn’t know… make sense?

Today we’ll cover 3 of the 10…

HIDDEN QUESTION 1:
“What’s The Best Dietary-Fat To Eat To Get Rid Of Bodyfat?”

Sounds nutty, doesn’t it?

The media loves to deceive you when it comes to dietary fats… and I’m here to set the record straight:

You absolutely must consume dietary fat in order to burn-off your bodyfat.

There’s an old saying: “Fat burns…but in the presence of dietary-fat.”

It’s true.

There are actually two “Best Fats” you should be eating:

Coconut Oil
CLA

Coconut oil is ideal to cook with. Use that in place of all the starchy foods you may be eating. You’ll get leaner faster… and you’ll be a ton more healthy too.

Coconut oil keeps you satisfied longer, lubricates your joints, and yes… actually helps you get rid of stubborn bodyfat.

Use 1 tablespoon per 50 lbs per day, but be sure to decrease your starchy carbs (breads, rice, potatoes, etc.)

CLA is a form of (gasp!) transfat… but it’s a healthy form that helps your body get rid of bodyfat. You can only get it in supplement-form… well, that’s the best way.

I personally take 4 grams per day. Jarrow is my favorite brand. You can get it at most health food stores.

I cover several other fats you need to eat in my video and book, found here:

The Every Other Day Diet Click-Here

HIDDEN QUESTION 2:
“Why Is Cardio Bad For Me?”

Okay… that’s an over-statement. It’s not ‘bad’ for you… it’s just not nearly as ‘good’ for you as the media and magazines want you to believe.

Especially if you do it the way they suggest: Too long, too frequently.

Do it the way I suggest and watch what happens.

First, spend 80% of your exercise time doing ‘resistance’ training, not cardio… but rest very brief between sets.

My newest update to “7 Minute Muscle” is called “7 Minute Body”. It combines both “7 Minute Muscle” and an additional 100 or so pages of in-home ONLY workouts.

That way you can train in the gym… or in your home… and get it done in 7 to 14 minutes a day. Done!

You will be shaping your body and burning-off some major calories at the same time… all without boring cardio.

Then when you “do” cardio, do it the way I detail in “7 Minute Body”… use the 9-minute GXP Cardio Workout.

Add simple walking to this several days a week and your cardio is set.

GXP works because it is progressive and does not over-tax the recovery system. You warm up, then hit about 85% of your max effort, then cool down.

But the key is ‘when’ to do it… and that’s covered in my book.

I still enjoy sitting on my bike and watching TV, but I do that just to burn-off those last bits of bodyfat. Most of you do not need to do this.

It’s a waste of time for the masses… but resistance training is not.

Oh, one more thing: Runners have a far higher degree of heart attacks than non-runners. So cardio ‘can’ be bad for you if you over-do it.

NOTE: You can pick up “7 Minute Body” at 77% off…
but only if you get EODD…

HIDDEN QUESTION 3:
“How Does Pizza Help Me Shed Bodyfat?”

Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

Think again.

My dietary plan not only “lets” you eat pizza (or whatever your favorite foods might be) every week, several times a week… it DEMANDS that you do it.

What the…. ?

Yep. Here’s why.

First, I have you eat less on certain days and certain times. If done the way I suggest your metabolism (the rate you use fat, energy, etc.) will not slow down that much.

Then… at a specific time… boom! You eat a lot more food… and the best way to do this is eating your favorite foods.

First, they usually have more calories.. duh! Second, you’ll ENJOY the freakin’ process! Most “diets” fail because people hate them… too restrictive.

So I created my System from the ground up to ensure I never got bored with my eating… and the extra cals from pizza (or my favorite… Mexican… or Key Lime Pie… yum) actually boosts my metabolism sky-high.

Here’s an example:

Last week I ate the normal Every Other Day Diet-way… for me it’s the “Extreme Plan” (there are 4 Plans, each for different goals.)

So, after several days of lower-cal, lower-carb eating, I ate about 5000 calories of Mexican food (so good!) But the TIMING is crucial. You just can wing it. Don’t worry… I tell you exactly when to do it.

The next morning I saw more of my abs.

I went back to EODD-style eating, which I love btw… and then later had some Key Lime Pie… and what do you know? Leaner the next day.

Now I’m doing this as I “peak” — I have to be in top shape in December. The only time I stop this is 4 weeks prior to a photoshoot… but unless you want to be 5% bodyfat (and you probably do not) you never have to stop it.

Works like a charm.

4 Fatloss Tricks No One Tells You About

lewis — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:40:50 +0000

[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ]

There’s a club you should join.

It’s called The Insider’s Club.

It is that club whose membership is based only on what secret goodies the members possess.

In our case, this is the Fatloss Insider’s Club. Only those in the know can join…. freee to them of course… : )

So, if you want to get rid of some lbs…

FATLOSS TRICK 1
Eat Pizza?

Today I went for some New York-style pizza here in Austin, Texas.

Do I feel ‘guilty’? No way… in fact tomorrow I will feel LEANER.

What the what?

I had to set up my body for this bit of metabolic trickery of course. You cannot just “eat pizza” and shed the pounds… I wish you could!

But my personal System for fatloss not only “allows” pizza (and all my other favorite foods)… it DEMANDS that I eat it.

Here’s another true story: I blew off my “feed meal” (that’s what it is called in my System) four days ago. I have been on a massive fatloss roll for weeks now and frankly I just did not feel like eating a lot.

That’s another benefit of my System… it really cuts your appetite and food-cravings down.

Anyway, the next day in the gym I fell on my face! I was weaker and not any leaner. I went home, ate literally about 6000 cals and presto: Leaner than ‘ever’ the next day and ready to train hard.

Learn how to use this System here:

The Every Other Day Diet Click For More Tricks!

FATLOSS TRICK 2
The 10-Minute Cardio Trick

If you want to just get into good heart health, you only need GXP Cardio (covered in the System mentioned above) 2-3 days per week for 9-15 minutes. That’s it.

However if you want to use “smart cardio” (not long, boring cardio) then you need a bit more. Just a bit.

It’s my 10-minute trick.

Start with just every other day. Then move to 4 days… and then 5.

If you are pressed for time, this is ideal. Even if you are not, it works like magic.

10 minutes in the morning ‘before’ you eat. Just make sure your heart rate is only about 65% of your max… in other words, you are not breathing super-heavy at all, but you are working up a sweat. That’s it.

10 minutes ‘before’ lunch. Just cut your lunch hour short by 10 minutes… that’s all. You don’t sweat enough to need a shower… don’t worry. Walking stairs works great, or walking outside… be creative!

Then 10 ‘harder’ minutes about 2 hours before you go to sleep. Get your heart rate up to where you are breathing a little harder.

That’s it.

You can even start with just two sessions of 10 minutes (morning and night) if lunch is out.

FATLOSS TRICK 3
Increase Your Fat?

Yep. I want you to eat more dietary-fat…. but I want you to replace some of your carbohydrates (starch like rice, potatoes, etc.) with healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil and almonds.

Fat dulls the appetite and all three of the fats above actually help your body get rid of its fat-stores if you decrease carbs.

I have the plan laid out for you. More here:

The Every Other Day Diet Click For More Tricks!

FATLOSS TRICK 4
Think Resistance

Far better than cardio will ever be. That would be resistance training.

Either weight training or in-home resistance training using bands and bodyweight. Studies confirm what we fitness pros already know: Resistance training not only sculpts the body (cardio cannot) but it also burns 9-12x more bodyfat over the long-term than cardio.

But you need both. And both cardio and resistance training (in-home or in the gym) is worked into my book “7 Minute Body.”

You can get it when you pick up “Every Other Day Diet” for 75% off-retail… it is all detailed here…

Can You Be Fat-Proof And Disease-Proof?

Can You Be Fat-Proof And Disease-Proof?

By Jon Benson
http://myeveryotherdaydiet.com

———————————————————————- |

     If I told you there was a sure-fire way to
     become practically disease-proof, extend
     your lifespan by up to 20 healthy years,
     and at the same time get rid of as much
     bodyfat as you want, would you believe me?

     Do you think this secret would come in a
     pill or a bottle?

     How about some ridiculous "all-lettuce"
     dietplan or something?

     Well, I’m going to tell you the same secret
     I’ve been preaching for years. It just
     keeps getting reaffirmed in study after study.

     It’s not sure-fire though. I mean, you may
     get hit by a bus or a cow may fall out of
     the sky and…

     well, you get the point.

     And there are always rare exceptions. You
     know… the "Uncle Charlies" of the world
     who can smoke 100 cigs a day and never get
     cancer? Well, the same can happen in
     reverse: You could eat a perfect dietplan
     and get some freaky disease.

     BUT… if you want to be "practically"
     disease-proof AND most certainly fat-proof
     (i.e. far more resistant to putting on
     bodyfat), then here is what you do:

          Eat less food.

     Wait. Don’t stop reading. It’s not what you
     think… sorta.

     I hear a big "no DUH Benson!" out there
     right now. "Sure, eat less food and get rid
     of bodyfat…big news!"

     Hold on there. I’m talking about much more.

     I’m talking about altering your metabolism
     permanently through the use of "The
     Selective Overfeed And Restriction
     Principle", or SOAR.

     SOAR is the basis of my System, "The Every
     Other Day Diet".

          http://myeveryotherdaydiet.com


     Researchers have known for decades that
     under eating, sometimes by as much as 40% of
     your maintenance-level caloric needs,
     lengthens lifespan and reduces disease
     factors radically. The question has been…

     "How"?

     Protection of internal organs is one of the
     primary reasons, along with a substantial
     decrease in insulin resistance. I am
     betting on common sense here: Use a car
     less frequently and it lasts longer. Color
     me silly, but I think the same is true of
     your internal organs. The less they have to
     process, the longer they last.

     Hey, I’m a simple guy at heart. ; )

     Now, the problem is obvious: No one wants
     to starve themselves just to live longer.

     But what if there was a way to decrease
     your overall caloric intake by roughly 20%
     and reap the same benefits?

     And, unlike other studies that show a
     "decrease" in basal metabolic rate, what if
     you could actually "increase" your
     metabolic rate at the same time?

          Enter SOAR.

     First, some history.

     A study published in the Proceedings of the
     National Academy of Sciences found that
     restricting calories by 30 percent
     significantly increased life span in
     monkeys. The experimental diet, while still
     providing adequate nourishment, slowed
     monkeys’ metabolism and reduced their body
     temperatures, changes similar to those in
     the long-lived thin mice.

     Studies over the years, on many different
     species of animals, have confirmed that
     those animals that we fed less lived
     longest. In fact, allowing an animal to eat
     as much food as it desires can reduce its
     life span buy as much as half.

     Do I have your attention?

     Good.

     So, we have many species of animals tested
     (most recently humans as well) showing
     longer life spans and less disease – but
     slower metabolic rates. However, when
     calories were "staggered" — lowered over
     time, then spiked higher, then lowered
     again — the same reduction in overall
     caloric intake was witnessed…but with a
     slight increase in basal metabolism.

     Now we have fatburning enhanced, and a
     plan that you can live with.

     This is exactly the structure of my Every
     Other Day Diet-System, or "EODD"… to the
     "T". But the cool part is that I include
     your favorite foods on the menu.

          And, I take it a step further –

     Ever heard of "interval cardio"? This is
     where you walk for a pace, then jog, then
     walk again. That’s an example.

          The same principle of "sprint/walk/sprint"
          works with your dietplan too.

     In "Radical FatLoss Blueprint", included
     freee with Every Other Day Diet this week,
     I take you on a 21-day journey to shed up
     to 21 pounds of unwanted fat in 21 days.
     This is most certainly a sprint!

     Then we tailor it back to faster fatloss,
     but not quite that fast… a nice "brisk
     walk" for a longer period.

     Then we "sprint" again.

     Here’s what we have found over the past
     year and a half of studying this approach:

     1. People get rid of over twice the amount
     of bodyfat as normal "dieting";

2. People can still enjoy their favorite
foods every week;

     3. Folks find the "harder days" easier to
     manage because they know an "easy day"
     is just around the corner;

     And when I do the math the average person
     ends up eating about 20-25% under
     maintenance… yet still puts on lean
     muscle. How? Simple: They use their stored
     bodyfat for fuel to rebuild muscle tissue.

     I will go to my grave knowing this is the
     healthiest and the "most sane" dietplan on
     the planet.

Jon Benson’s Every other Day Diet e-book review by Sarah

lewis — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 10:00:53 +0000

EODD 2.0 NEW VERSION !

EODD 2.0 ( Every Other Day Diet ) – IT’S A SNAPP!

And no, that’s not a typo. It’s literally a snap to follow, and spelled with two P’s for a reason.

I’ve told you about Jon Benson’s Every Other Day Diet (EODD) before, and both Lewis and I have been using the easy-to-follow principles for months now. What is it, half a year or more? Now, Jon Benson didn’t just sit back and relax, happy to have shared his EODD with everyone. No, he sat down and worked some more.

The result is the new, revised EODD 2.0 which is so radically different from the original version that we’re almost talking about two different books and plans altogether. In this version, you even find out what Jon himself eats in a day; and when you see a picture of this lean and muscular former fatty (his words), you just know that it’s within reach for everyone to get to the degree of leanness we want.

Of course, everyone will not want that much muscle, nor to be that lean; we all have different ideals, different ideas of what we want to look like, different motivations. However, using the EODD 2.0 SNAPP principles, absolutely anyone can get to their personal ideal.

EODD 1 had 3 nutrition plans. EODD 2.0 has 5 (or is it 6?) plans. There is obviously one that will fit you and your lifestyle perfectly. I will be opting for the Lifestyle Plan 2 or the Ultimate Plan for my “off” season, and the Extreme Plan for when I want to get to the leanest I’d like to be. But that’s me, and I’ve already been on the original Extreme Plan, as well as followed other body-building nutrition plans before that. For someone starting out, or not having as lean motivations, the Primer Plan and Lifestyle Plan 1 are a great place to start and get to.

There are many new twists to the EODD 2.0, surprises, “is he serious?”-moments, but ultimately it all makes sense and will help you achieve your goals

This version also has a recipe section. Of course, I haven’t had a chance to try any of them yet, having just received the book a few days ago, but there are several I’ll certainly be making in the next few weeks.

Using the EODD 2.0 in connection with Jon’s 7 Minute Muscle (7MM) will give me the most “bang for my bucks” both at the supermarket and the gym. They were designed to work in tandem, but you can just as easily use one or the other independently.

Incidentally, EODD in its original version is no longer available, there is no point looking for it … but I highly recommend the EODD 2.0 as a worthy replacement! You don’t have your copy yet? What are you waiting for? Go to www.myeveryotherdaydiet.com and get one!

Sarah

EODD - This was the original release…..

EODD? What the … ? You may well wonder. I did. Not for long though. After receiving a copy from our friend Jon Benson, it became very clear. EODD is short for something bordering on genius. An Every Other Day Diet.

Now who can honestly say they can’t follow a diet for a day? Honestly! Everyone can. Almost everyone has, if you think about it. If not you, think of your co-workers and family members starting a diet “over again” every Monday, in the strange belief that everything has to change up again on Mondays. There are a large majority of people who fall into this category.

Well now, thanks to Jon, they have their very own, tailor-made diet. To be followed every other day! How cool is that?

http://www.myeveryotherdaydiet.com << Link to Every other Day Diet

Well no, you can’t be good one day and totally pig out the next, that’s not how it works, but you are pretty free to eat some junk and not feel guilty about it. And of course, if you want to be “gooder” there is a plan worked out for that too, with a few junk days less. Or you can be totally good, and have just a little junk … like Jon himself.

He didn’t write this alone by the way. He had good help from Janice Hauser, and when you see the pictures of both of them before and after …. Well, a picture does say a thousand words folks.

Check this amazing wonder out right here http://www.myeveryotherdaydiet.com and get lean without anyone suspecting you’re on a diet!

EODD / 7MM combo – it simply WORKS!!

lewis — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:29:30 +0000

I GIVE UP !!

No, not on training, are you nuts?! But I do give up on an actual weight-based goal. Seriously, if I stick to that "133.4 lbs" idea, I’ll get so frustrated and discouraged that I probably will quit training, which is purely idiotic!

Why I’m saying that? Because this whole week my weight has progressively crept upwards. No TOM, no wrong foods or too little/much foods, no less cardio or weight training; everything is working perfectly, like a well-oiled machine.

My bodyfat is just as steadily on a downward crawl as the scales are crawling upwards, so that’s not the issue either.

Guess what: 7MM works!! Yup, I’m adding lean mass "like crazy" which is making the overall weight go up although the bodyfat % and my size are both going down.

And I’m not one of those male testo-bombs either, just a "little old lady" nearing 50. Did I hear someone saying "I’m too old to change my body"? My answer is simple "Get outta here!" lol. Not literally! Stay, please. Stay in the gym, stay with EODD and 7MM, because I’m living proof this works like nuts!

I was toying with the idea yesterday, of lowering the weights on the exercises, to stop stimulating those muscles to grow more, thereby getting the scales to show lower numbers again. Know what? I’d get bored! And frankly, I couldn’t do it I enjoy beating my total reps and weight loads too much to start walking backwards.

Arms today, as a result of not backing down, was
Bicep curl.s, same 20# Dbs, 3 more reps (total 41)
Tricep rope pressdown, same 30#, 5 more reps (total 29)

And I know I can get more reps in before I change the weight, curls will be a "problem" as I’ll have to jump straight to 25# (or try cable curls which I’ve never liked), the pressdown is fine as I can add 2.5# easily all the way. But more reps first, even if I have to cut the rest periods to 5 seconds (and write the total in bulk once I take 10 second breaks, because I can’t write fast)enough to do it in 5 seconds)!

With all this going on in my head, how do I set a goal when I don’t want to think about total weight anymore? BFP. BodyFatPercentage. I remember reading someone I know saying he’d never known a woman who couldn’t get to 14% … I refuse to be the first one he knows who can’t! In other words:

Goal = 14% BF by mid-December.

So there

~*~

OK, how many of you are scratching your heads wondering what in tarnation I’m talking about? 7MM, EODD, what?? Let me explain:

EODD first, Every Other Day Diet. The easiest nutrition plan ever devised, and I’m not kidding! I’ve read a few diet books and "diet" books, and this one takes the gold medal for simplicity and results all rolled up in the simplest-to-use plan I’ve ever seen. Heck, you even get graphics of your hands to litteraly see … ok, I’m not giving it away, but frankly, it’s the best I’ve seen.

7MM now, 7 Minute Muscle. You go to the gym, set up your station, train your weights for 7 minutes, jump on a cardio machine for 9 minutes just to burn off the released fat that’s circulating in your body after the weight training, and you’re out of there. Total time, with the set-up, max 20 minutes. Now, tell me frankly that you cannot find 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week to train! It’s even faster than a sit-com without the commercial breaks!

And as you’ve just seen at the beginning of the post: this combination works "du tonnerre" as the French would say, although what thunder has to do with anything … Fat goes away, muscle comes on, inches melt off, muscle definition is evident, clothes fall off, if I have to buy any smaller sizes now I’ll either have to go to the kids department, or to some of the stores where I know their clothes are sized small – the ones I coould only go window-shopping at before.

Go get your copies, right now! Read EODD, print the weekly meal plan for the program you choose (there are three) and stick it on your fridge with a magnet or four. Read 7MM and print the workout sheets (you’ll really need those), stick them in a binder, and head for the gym. Just imagine the looks on the faces of the trainers and other members as you whip in and out in under 20 minutes every day! They’ll snicker, shake their heads, call you an idiot andd ignorant fool. In a month they’ll still be shaking their heads, but I guarantee no one is snickering or calling you a fool! They’ll want to know what you’re doing, because the difference is already very visible!

Lewis and I are both using Jon Benson’s 7MM in combination with Every Other Day Diet and we are both seeing great results both on the fat loss front and the muscle building one. Yes, we are waging war on two fronts simultaneously, and it is working.

I’m following the Extreme Plan for EODD, but I started with the Lifestyle Plan first. For someone who’s just starting on a new fitness lifestyle, I suggest the Primer Plan, just to get used to better nutritional habits.

For 7MM, it’s just grasping the entire concept, knowing you have to concentrate for 7 minutes and not talk to anyone, let anyone distract you, just totally go for it; and dive in. You have to be willing to go for progression with every single workout, to feel the good pain of sore muscles and their protest as you ask them for more the following week. If you think you can just get by with a light weight and glance around at the other gym members … don’t even buy this. It’s short, but intense; and it really, really does work!

~*~

Have a great weekend!
