Fat Loss and Fitness Through Healthy Weight Loss - Photos of Proof

Many of you know already Colin Cramm - as he is one of the fitness success stories featured on the back cover of my book, ‘Fatness to Fitness’ - but it is quite likely you haven’t (yet) heard of his good buddy, Todd.

I’m writing about these two amazing guys today for 2 reasons:

1 - a lot of my male subscribers wanted to see more success stories about mens’ fitness and fat loss, as they have “already seen more than enough female fitness success stories across my websites”.

2 - to illustrate something I wrote about in the book, ‘the Fitness Ripple Effect’.

Here is Colin’s most recent photo - showing him standing behind his ‘fat jeans’ (size 48!) - and he noted that he is now COMFORTABLY wearing a brand new pair of size 36 pants - that we can’t see becasue his massive ‘fat jeans’ are blocking our view. GREAT STUFF! - We’ll hear more from Colin in the near future, as he is “not done just yet…”

Now, meet Todd (minus 135 lbs!) - one of Colin’s good buddies who was inspired by Colin’s transformation and decided he needed to do the same thing - or else probably die way before his time. Todd is still at it - so we can consider this a ‘during’ photo - and we will be sure to hear back from him - as he is a strong candidate to be included in my next book, ‘Fitness - The Atlas Way’. Here he is…

This brings me to the ‘Fitness Ripple Effect’…

So many times - it’s the action and success of one person that can inspire and positively influence other people. Such is the case with Colin and Todd. It’s also what I attribute my fitness success to - thanks to my father, and it’s what has recently changed the life of another ‘Joey’ - read on…

This is a message that was posted just yesterday in the members only forum at my other site, BestFitnessAdvice.com:

…and that’s why I think this forum is great. Not only do we have our trainer for life but other people interacting and helping and encouraging each other along the way. I will keep going in the same direction, in my gut I know if I stay consistent and am patient with myself then all will fall into place.

By the way, my 12 year old son was having problems with the bottom of his back, therapist gave home exercises to do but they didn’t really help. Him to has the “belly” and the doctor said he would have to exercise his back.

As I have changed my eating habits they also are reflected on my son and he started doing the ABS dvd with me but he does them twice a week. It’s so cool because he’s interested in exercise, we spend quality time together AND his back no longer hurts him. Thank you Joey.

P.S.: So funny because my son’s name is JOEY.

Lose Fat and Be Fit with Herbs and Spices

June 13th, 2008

A question was recently posted in the ‘Comments’ section of the blog - and it’s one that I hear every few weeks - and it’s a great topic to talk about. Here it is…

“While I am waiting for your book to arrive I wonder, If you can comment on use of spices such as Cinnamon, Cardamom, Cloves, etc as part of diet. Especially, for someone who likes to follow a vegetarian diet.”

The quick, short version answer to this great question is…

Herbs and spices are ESSENTIAL to a healthy diet. Thats why we’ve been gifted by their abundant presence on this earth. They are perfect for any diet - regardless of type - vegetarian, gluten-free, organic, and even the ‘regular’ non-diet - healthy diet, etc, etc…

Besides the countless benefits offered by all of the herbs and spices avaiable to us - they can, in fact, be an essential tool in helping people lose fat and become fit.

The flavor enhancing effects of these botanicals give you a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment in your daily meals - allowing us to eat less because we were able to enjoy the amounts we did eat.

Some would say - “Well, if it tastes better - wouldn’t I eat more of it?”

In my experience the answer is no.

When combined with other tactics, strategies, and principles of a healthy fitness lifestyle - the herbs and spices become our ally.

They are easy to find, relatively cheap to purchase - and super simple to use.

They are also fun - and can make meal preparation a cool event for you and your family.

There are a lot of them - so experiment, be daring and be creative. You’ll be surprised at the results.

An Special Note: Some herbs and spices do contain compounds that can interact or interfere with certain medications or dietary supplements. Do check with your doctor if you are unsure about your specific situation.
