I just got this from my buddy Kyle Battis and I wanted to share it with you…

You know what an “AH-HA” moment is right?

It’s one of those times where you come across something that causes a fundamental shift in how you see the world and perceive reality.

Recently Kyle polled some of the members of the Burn The Fat Inner Circle about their Burn the Fat AH-HA’s.

Tom Venuto and Kyle were ‘BLOWN AWAY’ with the response…

(they had over 55 ‘Burn The Fat AH-HA’s‘ submitted!)

Check out all 55 Ah-Ha’s

There are some real ‘gems’ contained in these responses but before I share them with you I wanted to tell you the question that Kyle asked them.

–> He asked them this question:

“Have you ever read a particular paragraph of “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle,” came across an interesting idea in an article on the Inner Circle, picked out a piece of ‘Venuto-Wisdom’ in one of Tom’s interviews, or came across any other ‘nugget’ that caused you to experience an “AH-HA” moment?

–> Here are five ‘Burn The Fat AH-HA Moments‘ that Kyle and Tom’s Inner Circle Members submitted:

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #1.
———————-

“Nearly everyone has set up some sort of limitation for themselves simply by deciding what level of discomfort they are willing to put up with. Achieving your dream body takes a lot of work and discipline.

Yet so many people come up with excuses to avoid a workout, or indulge in junk food, or neglect writing out their goals on a daily basis because of lack of time.”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #2.
———————-

“The mind is the missing key for most. Honest truth …I bought the book in ‘04, and skipped straight past the goal setting to read about nutrition and training. That was all I thought I needed from the book.

I did not write goals and I just set out to follow the plan. Some short success followed but ultimate failure. When I revisited the book in 2006, the early chapters on goal setting really hit home with me. I set my first goals and a lot of early success followed. It is so critical.”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #3.
———————-

“I listened to Tom’s recent interview today about how to get super-lean lots of things are covered in BFFM but the one statement from the interview that stuck out in my mind was that: we live in a reciprocal universe.

You get what you put into it. And in only 3+ months, I’m already seeing that,

Since January, I’ve lost 20 lbs of fat and have gone from a size 10 to a loose size 6. I’m currently sitting at around 20% bodyfat (down from about 30%).

I know I have a lot of work to do before September but I’m enjoying the journey and looking forward to what my body is capable of. With all of the knowledge I’ve gained so far and continue to gain as well as having a wonderful support system of my family, friends, and trainer, I KNOW I CAN DO THIS!”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #4.
———————-

“Track Results Frequently. Seeing results on a spreadsheet or in pictures will always help motivate you to improve or worst case, help you to not fall too far off the wagon.”

———————-
BURN THE FAT AH-HA #5.
———————-

“The body loves nutrient rich food. Improving my diet has taken a lot of time and self examination. Due to my body type I realized maybe a tuna sandwich on wheat bread would not be as good for me as a tuna on a bed of greens and other vegetables.

I have no history of ever being able to eat salads with any consistency. Now I absolutely crave them and eat them twice a day.

This was an impossible thought to me a year ago and not something I strived for necessarily but I eat salads with protein and good fats and the effect on energy levels, immune system, mental health is nothing short of miracle.”

A lot of people say they don’t have time to exercise.

Well what if I told you I’d pay you $100 every time you exercised.

I bet you’d sure as heck make time to work out, wouldn’t you?

Or if you had to drive 2 hours to pick up your 10 million dollar lottery winnings, would you do so?

Of course you’d make time.

So not having enough time to exercise is really not a valid excuse at all.

What if you only had to workout for 10 minutes?

You may be thinking that 10 minutes isn’t enough, but have you ever tried jumping rope for 10 minutes straight?

Or maybe you’ve tried some of the 4-minute or 10-minute circuits found in Bikini Abs Makeover.

These workouts produce amazing fat melting results in not a lot of time.

Can one minute of exercise be enough to produce a training effect?

Try going outside and sprinting for 30 seconds (or moving as fast as you can, if you can’t sprint).

Walk for 60 seconds and repeat.

You’ve now sprinted for 60 seconds and believe me, you’ll be winded.

Here’s what you can do.

Set your cooking timer to 10 minutes and commit to moving until you hear the buzzer sound.

Do push ups, jumping jacks, squats, step movements on the stairs, dips, jog in place, ab work for 10 minutes.

Do this when you can commit to 10 minutes without distractions and I guarantee you an amazing heart pumping workout that will get you incredible results in no time.

Try it out and let me know how it goes.

Really, I want you to commit to doing this at least once this week.

And then leave your comment and tell me how it went.

Have an amazing day.

Ok everyone it’s day four of the 30 Day Challenge.

AND, here in the U.S. it’s the 4th of July.

Happy 4th!

Here’s where it make start to get tricky.

It’s a holiday for some of you.

And the weekend for everyone.

Holidays and weekends are usually times where people eat differently.

So you REALLY need to plan here.

If you’re going to a party or going out to eat, how will you overcome the obstacles that are thrown your way?

If you’re going out to eat, perhaps you can order a salad right away while everyone else is eating appetizers.

Or if you’re going to a pool party, eat a big salad before you go there to satisfy your appetite.

If you’re 30 Day Challenge is workout related, perform your workout as early in the day as possible before you head out for fun.

Do a quick 4-minute or 10 minute high intensity circuit at home.

There are plenty of examples in the Bikini Abs Makeover program.

Or if you need more structure in your diet for the remaining days, check out The Carb Rotation Diet.

We’re in this together! : )

It’s going pretty well for me, but the weekend has just begun.

If you are finding it hard, remember set up your environment to succeed.

Get rid of any temptations in your home.

If you feel like eating something you shouldn’t, create a diversion.

Go for a walk, or a drive….call a friend, or post a comment on this blog.

Let’s all share what’s working and what isn’t.

Have an amazing day!

I’ve been seeing some articles on the internet recently that higher gas prices may help you lose weight.

The speculation is that as gas prices keep climbing, we’ll be driving less and less and walking or biking more and more to help save money.

“An additional $1 in real gasoline prices would reduce obesity in the U.S. by 15 percent after three years,” said Charles Courtemanche, an economics researcher at Washington University in St. Louis.

“In fact, about 13 percent of the rise in obesity between 1979 and 2004 can be attributed to falling real gas prices during the period.”

As the gas prices rise, more people will also be taking public transportation, leading to more necessary walking to and from the public transit stops.

There is also speculation that people will eat out less in restaurants with these high gas prices, since the cost of driving to the restaurants is increased.

This would lead to preparing more healthy, homemade meals at home.

And people might eat out less to help save money for the rising gas prices.

What do you think?

Can higher gas prices help you lose weight?

I would love for you to comment and get a great discussion going.

Have an amazing day.

If you want to burn stomach fat quickly, an examination of your workouts would be a great place to start.

Are you one of those people who go to the gym and use the same ole’ cardio machine day after day, week after week and month after month with little to no results?

If so, and if one of your goals is to blast belly fat, then you need to begin doing metabolic strength training and interval training as the main part of your exercise program.

You need to increase the intensity of your workouts.

And you need to cut down your workout time by half if not more.

That’s good news, isn’t it?

I’m telling you to workout less.

Just make sure your metabolic strength training and interval training are intense enough and you’ll blast belly fat in no time.

By metabolic strength training, I mean perform resistance exercises in a way that will get your heart rate up.

A great way to do that us to utilize bodyweight exercises in a circuit format.

I’ve outlined a complete step by step blueprint for you to be able to flatten your belly in the quickest amount of time in my Bikini Abs Makeover program.

Most of the workouts take less than 20 minutes and can be done anywhere - outside, in home, at a gym or even a hotel room.

If you train hard like this, and eat the way we’ve been talking about - primarily single ingredient foods, then I can guarantee your results.

Have an amazing day.
