My Deepest Dieting Fear Conquered: Fat Loss Is Forever…

-

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I’ve finally been able to make the complete transition (my life-long dream) to working from home (or anywhere else I wish to take my laptop)…

But what I never told you is…

During the last year, leading up to this milestone, one of my biggest fears of working from home was “what’s going to happen with my eating habits once I’m operating from home on a full time basis?”

See - as you already know - I’ve had my personal challenges since childhood with my weight, body image, food codependency and a wicked sweet tooth…

I’m quite different from the majority of personal trainers/weight loss coaches who have “always been in shape” - most of them have never lived through the experience of living “a full time battle with your body and mind”…

But I’ve been on the other side and I know exactly what it’s like…

During my adult years - ESPECIALLY with kids in the house - one of my biggest challenges has been ‘being at home on the weekend after a long, busy work week…’

I would simply eat whatever I could get my hands on. Up until about 4 years ago - I couldn’t conquer this demon - it was the last ‘weak point’ that I needed to fix - or so I thought…

During the last 4 years - I did beat that challenge - and weekends were no longer “2 days of uncontrollable binge eating” - they were under complete and natural control and in line with my goals…

But I had never been home EVERY DAY… And when I realized what this type of challenge this situation might hold for me - it was a bit scary and unsettling… But onward we go…

Well it’s been about 2 and a half months since I started working from home on a full time basis - and I’m quite excited to share… “the final demon has been conquered” - as a matter of fact my state of mind, self awareness and “living in line with my desires” is easier and more natural than I thought it would be…

The goal I set for myself about 5 years ago was to get back to my high school weight of 133lbs - BEFORE I hit the age of 39 - and STAY at that weight - with a body-fat% of no higher than 12%…

Well - my weight is holding an average steady of 133.5lbs with a body-fat% ranging between 9.8 and 11.5 and I’m 38 years young …I DID IT!!

Did this happen “by accident” or just “by itself”? No way… See, this type of ‘change’ doesn’t happen by accident - there are things I did… simple, subtle yet powerful things… - that ANYONE can do (yet most people don’t do - because they are not shown how) - to make this kind of self improvement success happen…

And these are precisely the things I’ll be teaching when I open the doors to ‘Every Day Fat Loss’ at the start of 2009. Lots of questions have been coming in via email and on this blog about the program - so I’ll answer some of them here:


What Is ‘Every Day Fat Loss’


-

1 - It is ideal for any woman who has struggled with her weight - and currently desires to get the fat off and keep it off…
-

2 - Even though it’s primarily for women - men can participate as well - and get the results…
-

3 - The program is NOT for the clinically obese. If you fall into this category - you need medical intervention, first and foremost. ‘Every Day Fat Loss’ is not a program for the clinically obese.
-

4 - IT is not “just another e-book”… EDFL is structured to provide the missing elements that have prevented you from achieving fat loss success in the past. This requires more than a book or a PDF, for most people.
-

5 - EDFL will be open to people all over the world - and the tactics will be applicable to the food choices in any country.
-

6 - Exercise is NOT a major part of EDFL. This is not another unrealistic 2-hour per day fitness regime combined with a psychotic bodybuilder diet being disguised as a simple weight loss program.
-

Exercise will be a tiny part of EDFL - I’ll actually be teaching you how to do as little exercise as possible (via online videos) - while still getting the fat off… If you choose to do more, that’s up to you. In today’s busy society - I realize every minute of the day is valuable - especially to the busy women of the world.

Well - that’s all I have for today. I hope my story of success has energized you and given you hope for what you are capable of - and what powers are inside you waiting to be tapped into…

Diet & Weight Loss Scams: How to Spot a Diet Scam Quickly

-

I went through a bunch of diet & weight loss advertisements and notes I took over the last few months.

There are a handful of claims that these products or programs make - that are a loud signal for you to know that you are looking at a rip-off.

This is not a complete list - as I have more to add in the future - but so far these are the most frequently abused BS claims…

When you see them - just keep going - and don’t be fooled…

“Lose weight without diet or exercise!”

“Lose weight no matter how much you eat of your favorite foods!”

“Lose weight permanently! Never diet again!” <= this one can be true but most of the time it is NOT)

“Block the absorption of fat, carbs, or calories!”

“Lose more than 30 pounds in 30 days!”

“This works for everyone because it’s so easy!”

“Lose weight with our miracle supplement, diet patch or cream!”

What claims have you come across (or even tried) - that are clear rip-off diet or weight loss scams?

Just post below - because everybody reading this also wants to know… Just click ‘Comment’…

Fat Loss Hoax: History Reveals Diet & Weight Loss Deception

September 16th, 2008

Fat Loss Hoax: History Reveals Diet & Weight Loss Deception

-

The latest research shows that 99% (99 out of every 100 people) of the general public is tuned into the mass media via 2 or 3 mediums, at minimum, at an attention level adequate enough to be influenced and/or (mis)led by it. …not surprising at all…

But in that statistic lies some sordid truths…

By mass media - I’m referring to TV News/Talk Shows, Commercials, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines, etc…

And since mass media is supported by the Big Money Players (companies with lots and lots of money to spend on, (and control) advertising, and indirectly - programming…)

You ONLY get exposed to “their products” over, and over, and over - and for every commercial or advertisement that is run - there are a certain number of buyers (you may have been one of those buyers at some point…) that these companies can ‘bank on’ - and hence they keep pouring money (that comes from the profits they generate from all the consumers) into this perpetual money machine…

People BUY - They TRY - They FAIL…

- and the cycle keeps repeating itself…

BUY… TRY… FAIL…

BUY… TRY… FAIL…

BUY… TRY… FAIL…

This may sound familiar to you - or you may have seen people you know, experience this demoralizing cycle…

The problem is - this prevents you from getting access to other products and solutions, produced by real professionals… individuals (not big companies or wealthy doctors who have lots of money to write a diet book and then spend millions of dollars on advertising)…

…real people that are ‘in the trenches’ - creating and perfecting their own fool-proof methods that actually deliver on the presented promises… and personally hold themselves accountable to you…

Thankfully, the internet is giving people like me a fighting chance to reach out to people like you - with unique solutions that actually work…

In the next few months - before the New Year arrives here in the US (the program will be accessible worldwide) - I’m going to be introducing my Fat-Loss/Dieting solution to the world… and the cycle me and you are gonna see together is…

DO… SUCCEED…

DO… SUCCEED…

DO… SUCCEED…

It’s not gonna be an just ebook or a motivational set of cd’s (I’ll be sending you a free ebook in the next few weeks titled ‘Confessions of a FORMER YoYo Dieter’: 3rd Edition, updated and revised) - so stay tuned for that…)

…this fat-loss/diet project will be new and much more powerful than anything out there - something you haven’t seen or heard of before - I guarantee it…

Yes - it’s gonna be centered around the TACTICS I’ve spoken about in the last few weeks - but attached to the TACTICS are going to be ‘lifelines’, seamless coaching ‘devices’, simple implementation tools, and other ‘mechanisms’ that I can’t mention yet… that just can’t be offered by big companies… - which will make your efforts automatically successful…

One of my friends saw the outline if this program on paper… these were her exact words: “Holy smokes, Joey - this is like the ‘HOW’ of fat-loss - this is gonna be huge… you’re gonna be a total hero, especially with women, how in the world did you come up with this?”

Before I sign off - You must know this - Me and my ‘wiz kid’ programming Ace, Erik - are working literally around the clock on this. My wife peeked her head out of the bedroom at about 2:17am last night/this morning to see if I was actually typing away at the keyboard - or if she was just dreaming - well, she wasn’t dreaming ;-))

But - we are doing all this work now - because what we’re creating is what’s going to make this all finally work for you - …it’s going to make what you need to do so darn easy - you just can’t fail…

Mark 2009 on your calendar as ‘Your Year’ - it’ll be here before you know it and by the time it gets here - you’ll be set up for success and closing in on your goals, and those around you can follow along or be green with envy as you get your body and life into the shape you’ve been dreaming of…

Stay tuned for this free ebook coming your way in the next week or two… a friend of mine pulled the older version from my files and asked if he could share it with some people - they loved it - so I updated and revised it this past weekend and added some more material for you… You’re gonna love it - and it’s the perfect intro for the new program - you’ll be glad you got your hands on this!

Real Fat Loss Secrets: Do This and Lose Fat Non-Stop

September 3rd, 2008

Real Fat Loss Secrets: Do This and Lose Fat Non-Stop - Regardless of Age, Genetics or Body-Type

- by Joey Atlas
________________________________________________________________

Ok - you ready?

    Go into your kitchen…

  • Chop up a half a tomato
  • Chop up a cup and a half of lettuce
  • Add 1/3 can of chick peas (be careful which brand you choose)
  • Add 4 - 6 pre-washed baby carrots
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt
  • Add a shake of black pepper
  • Add 2 shakes of balsamic vinegar
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Mix and eat…

There - now you’re burning fat…

Easy right?

Yeah, I agree…

That’s EXACTLY what I just ate for lunch - and it was awesome…

It tasted great. I’m satisfied but not stuffed. My energy is at peak level - and I don’t feel sluggish like most people do after the typical mass population crappy lunch. I won’t be hungry for about 3 or 4 more hours and if I do get hungry - I just dig into my bag of tricks (tactics, actually) and I’m still on target - keeping my metabolism steadily burning right along…

The truth is - fat loss is really that easy - but I also understand you might have a lot of questions about that recipe and about other elements that are related to that recipe and the big picture of fat loss and ‘dieting’ - such as…

  • “When do I eat that, Joey?”
  • “Can I substitute something in that recipe, Joey?”
  • “I work the night shift, Joey - when should I plan this meal?”
  • “What about snacking before or after that meal, Joey?”
  • “What if I’m still hungry after that?”
  • “What about the other meals in my day Joey?”
  • “What if I don’t have all the ingredients?”
  • “What about my willpower, Joey?”
  • “What about the next day - and the day after that?”
  • “What if I get gas from this meal Joey - then what do I do?”
  • “What if I don’t like that, Joey - can you show me something else for fat-burning?”

There are more questions than I have space for here - and you probably have some specific questions of your own (you’ll have a chance to ask them below if you want to later…)…

But here’s what I have to offer you right now - as I sat down to eat this for my lunch - I started to think about what separates me and other successful “dieters” - or shall we say ‘good eaters’, from the majority of people who just can’t seem to get it together and make it all work in the name of FAT-LOSS?

The timing on this is great - and it has prompted me to issue a helpful warning for you…
-

URGENT WARNING: Fat-Loss Dieters Are Being Targeted for Easy Profits

-
Fat loss product and diet program marketers consider September and January as their ‘Gold Rush’ times of year - when in their words…
-

“all the sorry ass yo-yo dieters, fatties and fitness wannabe’s are looking for their next magic pill, miracle gadget or ‘breakthrough diet’ - to help them finally drop all the fat and flab from their bloated bodies.”

-
That’s a direct quote I pulled from a diet/weight loss industry, marketing forum… Mind you these folks are not health or fitness coaching pros - these are marketers who make their pay by preying on people’s weaknesses and desperation…

And during the next few weeks you’re going to see a relentless onslaught of bullshit promotions and marketing blitzes fueled by hard-selling sales tactics to make you think you’ve just found ‘The Thing That’s Finally Going to Work for You!”

Here’s my advice - straight from an industry insider, consumer advocate and someone who truly cares about YOU and your results…

Don’t fall for any of it…
Don’t allow yourself to be dazzled…
Don’t let your emotional guard down…
Don’t let yourself be fooled, robbed and cheated…

Yeah - I know you want something - I know you need ’some kind of help’ - to get you through the tough times and ‘over the hump’ - you want some guidance - you want a trusty adviser to turn to…

You want something that’s gonna show early results that can be easily sustained with an approach and methodology that is realistic and can followed anywhere in the world - the US, China, India, Brazil - WHEREVER!!

Its ‘Tactics’ That Work

This does exist - but its all about TACTICS… and not just a plan…

Every war that was ever won - was won because of TACTICS - not an overall battle plan…

Every company that has succeeded through both good and bad economic times - has done so with TACTICS - not a general business plan…

Every famous or successful person has climbed to great heights - thanks to TACTICS - not just a general life plan…

Every World Series, World Cup, Daytona 500, Stanley Cup, British Open or Super Bowl has been won with TACTICS - not an overall general game plan…

It’s TACTICS that separates the winners from the losers - the successful from the unsuccessful - the victorious over the defeated….

And its TACTICS that are going to be your true secret weapon - the missing link you’ve been searching for to help you reach your winners circle - your gold podium - your triumphant rise to your own personal championship…

For a few lucky people - simple strategies and techniques are enough to get the job done - but for MANY - as in the vast majority - they are not…

Strategies and Techniques are what I included in my book, ‘Fatness to Fitness’ - no TACTICS though…

You may be asking “Why no ‘tactics’ in the book, Joey - if you are touting them so strongly in this article?”

Here’s the deal - I wrote ‘Fatness to Fitness’ as my first entry in to the mainstream….

Leading with an arsenal of eye-brow raising TACTICS could have cost me my credibility, my reputation and ultimately my career… simply because these tactics are not commonplace in the mainstream media…

And that wouldn’t have been good for me or for you…

But for now here’s what you need to know about TACTICS:

  • Tactics make difficult tasks easy…
  • Tactics give you deadly leverage against your foes…
  • Tactics allow you to side step any danger that comes your way…
  • Tactics give you the winning state of mind because you can control any situation…
  • Tactics allow you to turn any possible point of failure into the perfect set-up for victory…
  • Tactics are your small bag of effective secrets that nobody else can understand…
  • Tactics give you shortcuts to certain points that others don’t even now exist…

See, there are several KEY reasons why so may people fail at fat-loss and dieting - and these TACTICS directly address those key reasons and simply wipe them out of the equation - clearing an open path for your permanent fat-loss success…

During the next few weeks - I’ll be posting more articles, info and insight about this topic right here - so stay tuned…

As I finalize this Fat-Loss program based on these TACTICS - we are preparing to open up the doors in time for the New Year here in the US - and the program will be open to people in every country - but spots will be limited… I’ll elaborate more in the next few weeks…

In closing - I would like to ask you to share your past diet and fat-loss attempts… What you tried… Why it failed you… And what you believe you need to get you to success… Just click ‘comment’ below my dashing head shot…

Your trainer for life,
joey atlas
