The Mind Over Body Matter Letter

Check this out… (cool video warning… lol)

So I get this email the other day from a friend of mine, talking about this new weight loss/fat loss “secret” that’s been swinging around the ‘net’ as of late. Give this a read and tell me what you think…

Steve, (My friends name)

In what is perhaps the most shocking announcement made in some time regarding the diet and health industry, a lady doctor has just released what some authorities are calling the world’s “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret!”

The woman doctor, whose name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, has really upset the major food & drug industries, as well as weight loss manufactured food companies.

In the past 6 years she has worked largely in secret developing what may be the “cure” for obesity — and testing this first on herself, and then on a select group of volunteer patients who anxiously awaited salvation from the harmful effects of suffering ‘the battle of bulge.”

So valuable her SHOCKING findings and PROVEN results are, that she’s now just released her simple and easy-to-do system under the aptly titled: “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret!”

And her timing couldn’t be better! …

- Since recent studies reveal obesity has now reached epidemic
proportions, her secret may well prove a major life-saver to the
now more than 40% of Americans alone who are labeled
“obese!”

- Children are now considered “fatter than ever” by most experts,
and Dr Suzanne’s remedy may prove a preventative in the fight
against later-in-life developed diabetes when these same
children grow into adults!

And what may be the BIGGEST “Shock” of all is this horrifying fact:

=> Dr Suzanne has received death threats for simply making
her secret fat loss solution available to the general public -
and from what law enforcement investigators believe may
be insiders in the weight-loss/diet food manufacturing and
weight-loss drug treatment industries!

One federal law enforcement official (who insists on remaining nameless) said in confidence:

“It’s no shock to us at the [agency name withheld for security
purposes] that this lady doc has received so many threats on
her life as food and drug companies stand to lose potentially
billions of dollars by the release of her new breakthrough
secret for losing weight.”

But now with the release of this breakthrough weight and fat loss revelation, people who previously struggled so very hard with little or any success in the fight against the “extra pounds” now have a VAST & POWERFUL WEAPON on their side for a well-deserved change!

When asked if she feared retaliation from pharmaceutical and weight-loss food manufacturers, she said almost too hopefully…

“I wish they would do so especially in public because to get
fired upon for this would demonstrate more than ever that I
must have done something very, very right … as anyone
with common sense would see that the only reason they are
in business in the first place is because being overweight as
a population only serves to make them even richer … and
what I’ve done is going to free masses of people from being
slaves to them for good! - even many millions.”

So despite the continued threats, Dr Suzanne is more on the ball and out to ruffle as many feathers as she can with her New “TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret!”

To be sure the good gal-doctor isn’t going this alone! Nope. She’s got some very BIG heavy-hitters on her side!

Joined in unison by some of the biggest names in modern medicine from the likes of Johns Hopkins, Harvard Medical, and a good number of the other leading world-recognized hospitals and higher-learning institutions, Dr Suzanne moves rapidly forward in her personal “war” on ugly, unwanted fat and for the pursuit of better and eventually optimal health for all!

Additionally, you should know that nothing about her secret fat loss cure is difficult or hard to do.

What you may even find strangely surprising about her secret is the fact that it can by done by anyone effortlessly! (You’ll have to see it for yourself to understand how this is actually possible!)

So if you are someone who has been losing the fight against ugly fat and unwanted extra inches (that eventually without a doubt will shorten your life and lower the quality of it), then this is exactly what the good lady-doctor ordered!

Just grab the good doctor’s secret for yourself at:

But I feel it only fair to warn you that “the rush” is so vehemently on, that if you hesitate you may find that tomorrow when you get there (the link just above) the credit card-taking process might be so overburdened that you can’t order at all … (So it might be a good idea that you hurry on over there NOW rather than risk waiting till later and losing out for good!)

Plus, it’s my understanding that she knocks off nearly HALF the price just for people getting over there within 24-48 hours!

So if I were you I’d not take any chances because although credit card processing may still be working by the time you get there, the price may nearly DOUBLE just 2 days from now (and then you’ll kick yourself saying “Dad-gummit! I knew I should have grabbed that when I had the chance!” … so don’t let this happen to you - grab it NOW!)

Also keep this in mind…
———————————–
How many times have you seen sudden “breakthroughs” of such great controversy potentially come along and cause a woman doctor to actually get death threats for her secret ‘know-how?’ — You’re right … very, very few.

So don’t overlook this email as it may very well prove to be one of the most influential and important ones you’ve ever received…

-Shawn Higgings

Okay, so that email shook me up a little bit… not gonna lie.

Although, I really don’t think anyone’s gonna kill this lady either.

So, before I get into whether this “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret” is legit or not, let me show you some of the research that I did… and no, these are not scare tactics…

Check out this YouTube video of a little gremlin in someone’s colon:

And check this one out… showing you a whipworm… gross man!

I gotta tell you, I really don’t want any of this stuff in me after seeing that.

Of course, I don’t think I’m much into enemas and crap like that either.

So here’s the deal, I’m gonna pick this little book up and go through it to see if there’s any truth to this. It’s got a money back guarantee through Clickbank so I’m not concerned about getting a refund if it does suck.

I’ll post a more thorough review once I get done, but for now, you’d probably be well to do to pick it up for yourself in the meantime and bank on the MBG (money back guarantee).

I do know this, there are some very basic things when it comes to fat loss, most of which revolve around calorie consumption. But, each body is different and some things work better on some than on others.

That’s the ONLY reason I’m telling you to go ahead and take the leap before I get this review totally done.

Because my review MAY NOT help you make a good determination of if this “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret” is best for you… only you TESTING the material will truly get you the data and results you seek.

Just do like I’m doing and take a shot at it… it’s the only way you’ll truly know.

(Oh, rumor is that there’s some talk about interval training in the book… so I know that there’s at least ONE thing in there that’s true pertaining to fat loss.)

(Today’s article is from Craig Ballantyne, author of the vaunted Turbulence Training program. Also, nothing really to report workout wise for yesterday… I took a recovery day)

Find out the secret interval training workouts used by Men’s Health magazine experts to help their clients burn fat and lose their love handles.

Interval recommendations have ranged from 15 seconds to 5 minutes (these are known as aerobic intervals). So let’s take a look at each interval recommendation and all those in between.

1) 15 Second Intervals

The great thing about 15 second intervals is that you’ll be able to work at a very high rate (almost near your maximum power output), as long as you get adequate recovery between work intervals. The downside is that it is very difficult to do 15 second intervals on machines, because it takes a long time to “build up” and “bring down” the machine settings to the correct speed.

Intervals are for advanced fitness levels. Your rest interval should be at least 15 seconds long, and can be as long as 60 seconds. The longer you rest, the harder you will be able to exercise in each interval.

2) 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off

This method is known as the Tabata protocol, after the Japanese scientist that published a study on this routine. This is hardcore. Not for the faint of heart. If you are a beginner, try easy interval training.

Here’s more info on the Tabata protocal:

In Tabata’s study, the researchers found that guys who used the routine five days a week for six weeks improved their maximum aerobic capacity (a measure of your body’s ability to consume oxygen–the more oxygen you can take in, the longer and harder you’ll be able to run) by 14%. What’s more, it also improved anaerobic capacity (which measures your speed endurance, or the duration you’re able to sprint at full effort) by 28%. So the Tabata Protocol is the rare workout that benefits both endurance athletes and sprinters–hard to accomplish. Consider: A study of traditional aerobic training–running at 70% of aerobic capacity for 60 minutes–for the same number of weeks showed an improvement in aerobic capacity of 9.5% and no effect on anaerobic capacity.

Alwyn Cosgrove and Craig Ballantyne use interval training because it works. Again, it would be very difficult to perform this type of interval training on a machine, due to the time lag as you increase or decrease the settings. And finally, these too should only be performed by above average fitness levels.

3) 30 Second Intervals

The Turbulence Training workouts tend to use a lot of 30 second intervals. Beginners will rest up to 90 seconds between intervals, while advanced fitness levels will rest 30-60 seconds. The longer (relative) rest allows you to work harder in each successive interval (i.e. you’ll almost be able to match your performance in the first interval with each following interval). Short rest intervals (as in the Tabata protocol) will lead to a dramatic drop-off in performance with each interval. You can easily do the 30-second intervals on any machine.

4) 45 Second Intervals

These intervals are proven for fat loss, in addition to being effective for many team sports (such as hockey, soccer, basketball, and rugby). I have used 45 second intervals extensively in both areas of training. Short workouts, but tough workouts. Your rest intervals will feel like they go by so fast. Use 45-90 seconds of recovery between intervals. Do 3-6 intervals per workout. Get ready to be fitter and leaner than ever.

5) 60 second intervals

Similar to the 45 second intervals in benefits and toughness. Rest 1-2 minutes before starting your next interval.

6) 120 second intervals

These are now officially aerobic intervals, and can be used for both fat loss and improving aerobic capacity for sports and running. A great way to achieve two fitness goals at once. Exercise for 2 minutes and then recover for 2 minutes. Repeat 6 times. These workouts take longer (obviously), but can have a role in changing your body and improving your performance.

7) 5 minute intervals

Same strategy as with the two minute intervals. This really increases your workout time, so these are only used with serious endurance athletes.

Beginner vs. Advanced

If you are thinking that these intervals all sound “too intense” for you, please don’t worry. Interval training is all relative. You don’t have to sprint for your life in each type of interval. Instead, just work at a slightly harder than normal pace. By the end of the interval, you should be getting tired, but you shouldn’t be gasping for air. Start conservatively and you will get the hang of it.

For example, if you regularly use level 5 on the stationary bike for 30 minutes continuously, you might try doing a 1 minute interval at level 7. Try that for an interval workout and let me know how it goes.

I really like to use short bursts of exercise lasting no longer than a minute. These have been the staple intervals in my Turbulence Training workouts since the first workout was designed back in 2001. But again, I think you will get your best fat loss results if you vary your interval training workouts - just like you must vary your strength training workouts.

Without fat burning intervals, you might never burn belly fat.

Hey swing back in tomorrow and we’ll determine if you’re on a Sumo Diet or not… good stuff, because most people eat like Sumo wrestlers do.

You know, you can read every tip, trick, and fat loss technique in the book (mine, if you want)…

… but there’s no substitute for hard work.

Yesterday’s workout was a little different for me.

No weight training… but a really long bout of medium intensity interval training.

Look, break the monotony in your workouts. Get a little creative.

One of the things about the Fat Loss Black Book resides in it’s ability to TEACH you the mindset and methodologies to create your own powerful fat loss workouts.

Let’s face it… having the actual workouts is great… but what happens when you need to change gears.

Exactly.

So yesterday, I went bike riding… with a twist.

Over half of the 10 mile ride resulted in me pulling someone on roller blades behind me… up and down hills no less.

Needless to say, I was pretty beat afterward.

And hungry too. Starving in fact.

Think of the different ways that you can push yourself to the next level. You don’t have to be “extreme”, but you definitely should always be trying to take yourself to another level.

Check out this video for an example of “extreme”… maybe it’ll give you a few ideas for your next workout.

Oh man…

18.2% body fat

I didn’t know I’d fallen off the wagon THAT far.

But no big deal: I’ve just got work to do.

Okay, yesterday… a little chest and tri’s… although next week we’ll start to get a little more aggressive and switch to upper body and lower body days.

Make sure to check it out.

Warmup: Two sets of pushups immediately followed by a non weighted bar only set of incline bench.

Set One: Incline bench, 10 reps at 135 lbs
Set Two: Incline bench, 12 reps at 135 lbs (I generally need a little more warmup for chest for some reason)
Set Three: Incline bench, 8 reps at 185
Set Four: Incline bench, 4 reps at 205

Compound Set one: Iso wide Hammer Strength with 2 plates on each side followed immediately by 10 bodyweight dips
Compound Set two: Same as above with 3 plates on each side
Compound Set Three: Same as above with 3.5 plates (0.5=25lb plate)

Two sets of pushups (20)

10 25 yd “sprints” at 3/4 speed with a walk back for rest

Cool down for 7 minutes on the bike (mainly just to catch up on some reading… lol)

I had a little extra time to mess around so I also shot basketball for about 20 minutes. While doing this, I was doing a few full court sprints with the ball and converting lay ups.

Diet was a little off yesterday.

Shake in the morning and shake after the workout…

Chicken and veggies for lunch and the same thing for dinner.

I gotta hit the grocery store.

More tomorrow.

No big deal.

I got the workout in… which what what I was really looking to do today but the diet aspect sucked pretty bad.

I’ve got to hit the grocery store… period.

So the workout was pretty short - a little over 30 minutes but I walked out sweaty and tired.

Here’s how it went:

Set one: Warm up set of overhand bent over rows with just the bar.

Compound set one: 8 reps at 135 bent over row followed with 8 reps lat pull at 140.

Compound set two: 8 reps at 155 bent over row followed with 8 reps lat pull at 160

Compound set three: 6 reps at 185 bent over row followed with 6 reps lat pull at 180

Two sets of 8 reps of pull ups (or you can just go to burn out either way)

Compound set four: machine row 8 reps at 120 followed with 8 reps standing curls (bar only)

Compound set five: machine row 8 reps at 140 followed with 6 reps standing bar curls (95)

Two sets of 10 leg raises.

10 minutes of interval training on the bike: 1 minute warm up (low level), 30 second “sprint” at a mid level, 30 second cool period at a low level, 15 sec “sprint” at a high level, 45 sec recovery at low level, repeat.

Went home and drank a Cyto gainer shake to get some calories in me.

For this workout, low level means low resistance and low effort. High level means high resistance and almost max effort.

Also, I probably could have went a little heavier in the workout but I’ve been so sporatic lately that I didn’t want to over tax my joints and connective tissue… yet

I haven’t done the measurements yet… although I’ll try to get a bodyfat one tonight.

More tomorrow, until then, grab the book so you’ll know why I’m doing what I’m doing and then check out this video and see if you can do this…
