Just in from Rob Poulos auther of The Fat Burning Furnace
Here is Rob’s comments on one of the most common questions he get from readers of his newsletter in regards to how much a person should weigh, or what their ideal weight should be. Hi Rob, I am 38 years old, and just 5′1 inches in height. I’m really overweight, but not sure what my goal weight should be. I want to fit into a size 4…I’m in a size 12 now. Can you help? —————————————————————- Why is this such a big mystery to people? Okay, there is a simple answer here, but it’s a two part answer… First off, while it’s awfully tempting to measure your progress by what the scale says and what dress size or waist size you want to get to, this is often a big trap. Why? Because the ultimate measure of fat loss is your overall body fat percentage. If you’re reducing your body fat percentage significantly, and you’re still not at your "goal weight" or have a waist measurement that’s not where you think it should be, you may become frustrated for the wrong reasons. For instance, for many men a 30 inch waist is one of the true measures of leanness and health. But, what if your bone structure doesn’t allow for this measurement? What if you’ve surrounded your waist with rock hard muscle? I’m a prime example, being rather tall (at 6′6"), even at a year round body fat of around 10-12%, my well defined waistline hovers around 32 inches. Does that mean I’m doing something wrong? What matters is your overall body fat percentage. So, what’s ideal? For men, anywhere from 14-17% will draw plenty of stares from the opposite s.ex, while women who get in the 19-22% range will make most of their f.riends green with envy. Trust me, get into those ranges or a bit below and you’ll stop caring so much about your body weight or dress sizes or waist measurements…You’ll look so good you won’t have time to care! And what’s the best way to lower your body fat percentage quickly? Use an intense form of full body resistance training, forcing your body to adapt quickly by adding fat burning muscle mass while training your body to store calories in your muscles instead of fat cells. You know, this is the exact exercise I teach you in my Fat Burning Furnace eBook, and if you haven’t read it yet, you need to go and do that right now. I lost over 40 pounds of fat, totally reshaped my body and dropped my waist measurement by 10 inches, boosted my energy and health immensely…and I did in just a few months with workouts that last just 15-20 minutes performed 2-3 times each week. It took me years to learn all of the secrets I use…but you can download my eBook right now and discover them for yourself in just a few minutes here: |
