Update – Xtreme Fat Loss Diet7 Comments
Many of you know that I’m following the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet for 25 days and I wanted to give you a 2 week update of my progress. First of all this program is pretty intense, both in the diet and the workouts. I would say it’s definitely not for everyone. However, if you are the type of person that wants quick results, the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet delivers.
The reason I decided to follow the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet was simple. I had let myself get out of shape over the past few months. Back towards the end of February, I was working out with some of my bootcamp members on a Saturday morning when I started to get really pale and lightheaded. I hadn’t eaten anything since about 7:30 the evening before and I was dehydrated. Well I felt bad enough to the point where the paramedics were called to run some tests. Everything checked out ok, but for a couple of months after that, I was actually scared to workout very hard. So I didn’t workout much at all.
And when I don’t workout, my diet tends to slide as well. Plus I had the stress of moving to a new state – Colorado – and…well…my eating habits suffered quite a bit. So for about a 3 month period, I neglected my health. I actually didn’t want to, but my mind was playing tricks on me and I was nervous to workout with intensity.
That’s when I decided to start the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet. It was perfect timing because it came out right before I moved to Colorado. I figured I would get a fresh start on my health and dive right into the program. I’ve followed it pretty much to the letter. My first day on the program was May 10. The first picture that you see on here was taken the morning of May 11. The second picture was taken today, May 25 – exactly 2 weeks later. I’m happy with the results so far. My abs aren’t back to where I want them to be yet, but I still have 9 days left on the program, so I can’t wait to see what the final results are.
Update: The 3rd picture was taken on Day 26 – June 4, 2010 – the day after finishing the program.
By the way, if you read my last blog post: “Are You Obsessed With Your Weight,” you know that I don’t believe in weighing as a measure of progress. I actually have no clue how much I way. But I can tell my the pictures that I’ve come a long way and this keeps me motivated to keep on going for the final 9 days!
Have a great day and good luck with the program if you decide to try it.

Are You Obsessed With Your Weight?7 Comments
Today is Day 14 of me being on the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet which means I’m exactly 2 weeks in and have 11 days left. My progress has been wonderful so far, but something is really bothering me. Almost everyone who is on this program is obsessed with how much weight they’ve lost. Some people are weighing themselves everyday and if they gained weight from one day to the next, they get depressed or angry and feel like they’ve put in a lot of hard work for nothing.
I can’t understand why so many people are obsessed with their weight. I mean, it’s pretty common knowledge that if you lose 5 pounds of fat, but gain 5 pounds of muscle, the scale won’t budge (or at least I hope this is common knowledge). If you get the exact body that you won’t from following the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet or another program, why do you care what the scale says? If you had your dream body but weighed 15 pounds more than you actually wanted to, wouldn’t you be happy with your dream body? Or would you still be disappointed with what the scale says?
Would you be happy if this was your dream body if the scale didn't say what you wanted it to?
I know that if I’m ripped with six pack abs, I could care less if I weighed 175 pounds or 190 pounds. The scale weight would make no difference to me. It’s how I look in the mirror with my shirt off which would make all the difference.
So I really strongly urge you to take pictures as a measure of progress, not step on the scale. Throw away your scale if you have to. How often should you take a picture? Well that’s up to you, but in the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet, each cycle of the program lasts 5 days, so I’m taking a picture every 5 days. I’ve seen progress with each picture. And taking pictures this often really keeps me on track.
I would love to hear your comments about this. Are you obsessed with your weight? Do you weigh yourself all the time? If so, why do you do this? Please just leave your comments below.
Thanks!

Your Questions About Metabolism AnsweredNo Comments »
Over the past few days I’ve been telling you about 3 years worth of research that my partners at Prograde Nutrition have been doing examining certain ingredients that have been shown to boost your metabolism – ingredients like caffeine in coffee and cinnamon.
I wanted to stress to you that none of these are miracle solutions to getting the body that you want…you still need to exercise regularly and eat whole, natural foods.
However, there are several other things you can do to boost your metabolism that will have a cumulative effect…things that will help in transforming your physique…which is why my partners at Prograde Nutrition created a new product called Metabolism.
Well I’ve been getting flooded with “Metabolism” questions over the last couple of days and I just received this latest update that covers all Metabolism FAQs. It’s from Prograde’s Director of R & D for Prograde Nutrition, Jayson Hunter and I have permission to share it with you.
So check out these Metabolism FAQs…
…and have a great day.

5 Ways To Boost Your Metabolism TodayNo Comments »
Hey there – I wanted to tell you 5 ways that you can boost your metabolism today. Your metabolism is the rate that you burn calories. You want to keep this high high high so you can burn more fat and have a super sexy body…
Ok, here we go…5 ways to keep your metabolism sky high:
1). Include weight training in your workouts. Weight training helps to build nice, lean muscle, and having more muscle in your body means a higher metabolism. I’m not talking about using pink dumbbells here – use weight that is moderately heavy and challenging.
2). Perform high intensity interval training. Studies have shown that when you perform high intensity cardio interval training, your metabolism elevates and remains elevated for several hours after the workout is over. That means you’ll be burning extra calories watching American Idol tomorrow evening if you do a high intensity interval workout tomorrow morning.
3). Eat every 3 hours or so. Your body burns calories through the process of digestion each time you eat a meal. So every time you eat, your metabolism gets a boost. Just make sure you’re eating nutrient rich foods and not cookies and ice-cream.
4). Eat some protein at each meal. Protein is a little more difficult to digest than fats or carbs, meaning your body has to work harder to digest it. This just means that you burn more calories when you eat protein.
5). Consume ingredients that boost your metabolism. OK, this leads me to Prograde Metabolism. This is a new product just launched today by my partners over at Prograde Nutrition. Now you know that you have to eat “clean” and workout hard to sculpt a nice physique, right? Hopefully I’ve taught you something over the past few years.
But, the team at Prograde Nutrition has been doing research for over 3 years and there are certain ingredients shown to boost your metabolism. And that has lead them to create their latest product called Metabolism.
I really hate the companies that say all you need to do is take their supplement on an empty stomach before you go to bed and the fat will literally drip off while you’re sleeping.
But I do like what Prograde has done because they’ve spent the last 3 years doing research and investigating certain ingredients that can give your metabolism a boost. This is only for people who are exercising hard and eating clean and Prograde makes sure you know that.
So if you’re the lazy type looking for a quick fix, please don’t buy this product.
Last, Prograde has VERY limited supplies of Metabolism from this initial production run. And because it’s a brand new product AND it’s on sale, well, there is a rock-solid chance that they will be sold out in no time flat. So go check out Prograde Metabolism right now and see if it’s right for you.
Talk to you soon.
Your friend,
Scott

Do Fat Burners Really Work?No Comments »
You’ve probably seen hundreds of ads over the years promoting fat burners as an easy way to lose weight. Pop a pill before you go to bed on an empty stomach and the
weight melts off while you’re sleeping. What could be better, right?
Well unfortunately, this usually leads to a lot of frustration, disappointment and wasting hundreds or thousands of dollars. The latest craze seems to be a ton of ads promoting Acai Berry as a weight loss supplement. I’ve seen those ads pop up everywhere.
But are fat burners all bad? Are there any that actually work to help you lose weight? Well I was curious myself to find out this answer so I decided to do a live teleseminar with registered dietitian Jayson Hunter called “The Lies and Truths About Fat Burners.”
http://attendthisevent.com/?eventid=12500049 <= Ask your questions
This will be a shorter teleseminar – about 20-30 minutes or so and I would like to give you the opportunity to get your questions answered as well. Maybe you’ve tried some fat burners and they haven’t worked for you and now you want some answers. We’ll get your questions answered on Tuesday, April 20 at 8:00 pm Eastern, 7:00 pm Central and 5:00 pm Pacific.
Just go to the link below to ask your questions and return to the link when the call begins so you can listen in.
