Tip of the Day

Thanks to the internet the world has become more globalized, and thus more competitive. We have to stay on our toes or else somebody else can take our place. Our bosses want results now (our if you’re the boss you want results now). This need for speed translates to every aspect of our life, including body transformation. When dieting or working out you want results fast. You begin a new diet, and if you don’t get results within a week or so you get frustrated, drop it, and begin a new one.

Fortunately, our bodies are not up to speed with the 21 century. They’re still in the stone age, where everything was more relaxed. The key to success when it comes to changing the way you look is… patience. Sticking to your initial plan is fundamental. Choose a coach you trust, and stick to what he says, even if his methods don’t always go with common beliefs. Correction: especially if it doesn’t go with common beliefs.

Most of what you hear in the street comes from magazines and commercials, which aren’t very good sources of information.

Dansinger et al, (2005) showed that 4 of the most popular diets, if followed properly during a whole year, would throw the same results. This comes to show that it is not the diet that matters when it comes to results, but your patience in following it.

Coach of the Day

Since I touched the diet subject I wanted to introduce you to Joel Marion. Joel is a former Body for Life Champion. Withregards to his professional education and credentials, Joel holds Bachelor of Science degrees in both Exercise Science and Health Education from The College of New Jersey, where he graduated with honors, Magna Cum Laude. He is also certified as a sports nutritionist and personal trainer through the nation’s premiere certification agencies, the International Society of Sports Nutrition and National Strength and Conditioning Association, respectively.

Program of the Week

Joel has a couple of weight loss programs, including a membership site, but today I’m only going to focus on his Xtreme Fat Loss Diet. I went on this diet to lose an excess 10lbs that I had after living in Barcelona the past 2 years. The diet promises 25lbs off in 25 days by managing your leptin levels. I won’t lie to you, there is also a workout you have to do, but as you know, weight loss success is achieved at the table not in the gym.
