Many people seem to think that to lose weight fast, you must starve yourself or buy the newest diet pill; it’s sooo much more complex than that! If you have tried to get slim quick with these automated ‘do nothing’ methods, you probably will admit to their inefficient results.
The truth of the matter? you need to eat! Even to lose weight quickly, you still need to consume a lot of food on a daily basis, however it’s what you consume that will determine the difference between losing your belly or other fat, or just adding to it later once you give up again!
I’ll tell you this: Low fat and low calorie diets don’t work. Why? This method actually slows down your bodies fat burning engine, and once you lose that first bit of weight, all efforts will come to what ’s known as the ‘dieting plateau’. Low carb diets are also popular now, however these often come with very strict and hard to follow routines that the average person simply will not follow.
Weight loss programs usually take the ’slow and steady’ approach, and you usually have to buy into meal plans, dietary supplements and again follow a routine that probably clashes with your day to day living to the point where you just give up! Isn’t there anything out there that offers an accelerated fat burning diet without side-effects or crazy routines? Ehemm, actually…. there is.
Perhaps you’ve heard of this product that is making its way around the internet right now, and is eating up (no pun) all the competition WITHOUT the need to fill your head with insane promises or false claims. In fact, this plan boasts a very high success rate, and this is the reason for its continued growth among those that are just dying (again, no pun) to lose weight fast.
Very appropriately titled ‘FatLoss4Idiots’, this fat filer program takes you on a step by step of how our society eats, consumes the worst things our bodies can handle, and what the necessary course of action is to lose 9 lbs every 11 days. Yes you read that right, the average person that follows this plan actually loses more than 1.3 lbs day, but most importantly-IT’S SAFE!
Not many accelerated fat burning diets offer these results without having to include its side-effects (don’t you love those new commercials where the side-effects are rambled on for 10+ seconds and seem to outweigh the desired results from the pill/product?) because there are NO side-effects to this, and your weight WILL indeed stay off this time.
Do you already eat 3 times a day or more? Good you MUST eat, now let’s focus on what you should/shouldn’t be doing with those meals, and what to do before and after those meals to make sure you stay the course and achieve that slamming body you’ve been dying to have! Even Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and the Atkins diet have nothing on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots plan. Why? Due to it’s shear ‘end results’ that thousands can attest to (and that number is growing, while they are all shrinking!).
Stay the course, never give up, and don’t wait another second to get your health and body to where it should be! Your future and family depend on it.

Since so many people have acne and are doing just above anything under the sun (sometimes quite literally) to cure or treat their acne, there are quite a few myths that develop surrounding what methods are best to treat acne. It is very important to know which are true and which don’t carry much water at all. But arming yourself with this knowledge you will save yourself a lot of time and grief and be able to treat your acne faster and more effectively.
Myth number one is that if you eat a lot of chocolate in your diet that it will cause you to have bad break outs. This has been a myth on the books for quite some time, but actually, two in-depth studies done found that there was no correlation between eating chocolate and break outs of acne. Another myth is that if you eat a lot of pizza that it will make your acne a whole lot worse, when it reality no studies have been done that suggest this is true. As long as you consume pizza in moderation, you should be just fine.
A lot of people say that if you have a dirty face that you will break out with acne. Although the clogging of the pores does lead to acne, this myth is not necessarily true. You should though at all costs avoid getting dirt or wiping your hands on your face as it spreads bacteria and helps acne develop.
Some people think that when you become an adult, you no longer have to worry about getting acne. This however is completely untrue. Thousands of adults all over the world suffer from acne just like teenagers. And just like for teens, there are remedies and treatments as well.
Sitting in the sun as a way to cure acne is another bogus myth. The truth is that having too much exposure to the sun can lead to sun-cancer and premature aging. However, when you have lots of exposure to the sun you get lots of vitamin D, which promotes good skin. So there are benefits and down-sides to this one, but don’t try it as a way of combating acne, it won’t work.
Another popular myth is that drinking soda drinks like Pepsi or Coca-Cola will lead to break-outs. Studies have been done, and none of the results suggest that this myth is true in any way. A related cause may be that when most teens consume soda, they do so in fast food places where there is lots of grease that can clog pores and lead to break-outs, so it might just be a matter of the place, not the beverage.
Be sure to know what is true and what is false before treating your acne seriously. You want to use methods that have been substantiated and proven to be effective. Lotions, creams, antibiotics, and laser removal are all valid healthy ways of treating acne.
I just drove past a gym that was advertising group-exercise classes like this:
‘Small classes, lots of fun, no mirrors.’
No mirrors?
Why on earth is that a selling point?
Sure, mirrors aren’t necessary… but why would their absence be seen as part of sensible marketing strategy? Something to be advertised?
Maybe for the same reason that people don’t want to know their weight or their body-fat percentage when I assess them.
“Don’t tell me, don’t tell me” people say to me as they reluctantly stand on the scales with their eyes shut. “But you weigh what you weigh right?” “Yeah but I don’t wanna know.” “Why not?” “I’ll get depressed.”
So I tell them their weight and they get angry at me. Too funny. Nasty Craig.
“Don’t get grumpy at me… I didn’t do that to your body.”
When it comes to reality, we’re experts at avoiding it. I’ve written a post on ‘head-in-the-sand-itis’ before but it seems that we may be heading into an epidemic. A pandemic even.
Maybe we’re there already.
It amuses me that a business can send out this message: “Exercise with us and you won’t have to look at your fat selves in the mirror” “Yep, sign me up!”
I think some of us should be surrounded by mirrors twenty four-seven until we stop deluding ourselves and start to get proactive.
I’m not a fan of mirrors in gyms for vanity reasons but they are valuable for: 1) Teaching correct exercise technique and 2) Keeping us grounded.
“Oh yes… (in a feeble, pathetic voice), but I find it so painful to look at myself in a mirror, it hurts so much.”
Really?
Well, wait for your first heart-attack; you might rethink your definition of pain. And wait until your pancreas is so shot that you have to medicate every day for the rest of your life to manage your self-induced diabetes… then we’ll chat.
A little short-term emotional discomfort now doesn’t remotely compare to the world of hurt you’re gonna endure if you don’t change your mindset, your habits and your lifestyle.
No melodrama, just honesty. It is what it is.
As I always say to my audiences “I can tell you what you wanna hear, or I can tell you the truth… you can get offended, defensive and precious… or you can get busy changing your reality.”
I actually tell people to go home, take all their clothes off and take a really good look at themselves in the mirror from all angles. Slowly. Preferably take photos as well. Why? Because it’s reality, that’s why.
It’s you. It’s not some computer-generated future fat version of you, it’s you right now. Deal with that, toughen up, get over the self-pity (it’s annoying and achieves nothing) and then you will start to see results quickly. Real change.
Our physical reality doesn’t usually align with psychological reality. In other words, it’s almost impossible for you to be objective about you.
Over the years I have taken thousands of ‘before’ photos of people (front, side and rear) before they start their weight-loss/fitness endeavour. Invariably they are stunned when they see the pictures.
Why are they so shocked? Because when it comes to their body, they live in some alternative reality; The Slim Zone. The one where they look forty pounds lighter.
Amazingly, people always ask me to refrain from showing the photos to anyone else because on some level they believe that somehow the photos are worse than the ‘in the flesh’ reality.
“See me standing here in my workout gear but don’t look at that photo we took five minutes ago (in the same clothes) ‘cause I’m so much slimmer in person.” “I don’t really look like that photo.”
Weird.
I know that I may sound harsh to some of you and I know my approach and philosophy won’t sit well with everyone, that’s okay. But twenty five years of going around in circles with people about the same issues and having the same conversations (often with the same people) will make you a little practical and matter-of-fact. Okay, blunt.
I care more about your heart, arteries, lungs and overall physical health than I do about telling you what you want to hear; what’s comfortable for you. I’m not really about popularity, I’m about change. Results.
I know I could write more reader-friendly, politically-correct content but I would be compromising what I believe and watering down an important message. So blunt Craig it is.
I’m not interested in fluffing someone’s emotional pillow or propping up their poor self-esteem for five minutes. I’m interested in their long term physical health. I’m interested in the truth of the situation.
I’m interested in genuine, forever (never going back) amazing, physical change. It’s very possible but we continue to rationalise, justify and find new and exciting ways to sabotage our own goals and perpetuate our misery. We consistently waste our potential. And we continue to let our mind get in the way of our body.
We choose to inhabit the mythical Slim Zone.
Yep, I care about people’s feelings and emotional state and yes, I factor them into every interaction with every person… in fact, I work on the premise that getting in shape is largely an emotional process. And Yes, I was a fat kid, so I get ‘it’.
However… I won’t be getting rid of the mirrors in my gym any time soon.
