Dump 11 lbs of Bodyfat... On Vacation?

Friends,

Wow... this one blew me away. My friend and
fitness author Jon Benson just got back from a
3-week business vacation and LOST 11 lbs of
bodyfat. Here's the email he sent me detailing
how he did it... Enjoy!

Jorma Persson

--------------------------------------------------|

It was the weirdest thing ...

I mean, I've been around you know? I've had
just about every body and fatloss experience
you can think of... the good, the bad, the
ugly...

... and now the really bizarre.

Here's the story:

I took off on an 8-day cruise to the
Caribbean. This was a "business" cruise (yeah,
right)... and I knew there was no way to eat
the way I prefer to eat. At least not ideally.

After that I had to speak in Tampa Florida at
a fitness summit, then off to Las Vegas for
yet another summit meeting.

All-in-all I was gone for almost three weeks.

First thing that I knew had to go was my
"ideal" dietplan.

That's my "Extreme" Plan on the

Every Other Day Dietplan...

click.below---------->
Every Other Day Diet

There are three plans in EODD: The Primer
Plan, which is literally "every other day".
You get to eat your favorite foods within
reason every other day or so on this Plan.
It's perfect for folks who 'hate' dieting
because, let's face it, anyone can diet-for a
day, right? Right.

Then there's the Lifestyle Plans. These are
two days of "burn eating" followed by a day of
eating favorite foods. Most people use this
because it too is so simple to use.

Then for we athletes and fitness pros there's
the Extreme Plan. This is for ultimate bodyfat
loss and muscle-shaping. I love this plan.

But hey... it's a vacation. And so I decided
to eat on the Primer Plan... remember, that's
every other day. So every other day on the
cruise I had a small dessert (sometimes two),
pizza, or pasta... whatever I wanted within
reason. The days before I did perfectly,
substituting my morning shake for egg white
omelets with a bit of cheese and a lot of
veggies. Yum!

Within three days I had LOST more than 4
lbs... or about 2 kg. Pure fat... well, a bit
of water I suppose, but mostly that stubborn
bodyfat around my middle that's the last to
go.

What the heck was going on?

Wait... the story gets better...

I move on to Tampa, and then Vegas, and now
I'm 11 lbs (about 5 kg) down. My jeans ALL
require a belt, only this time it's not a
fashion statement.

Frankly, I'm as surprised as you may be.

But I figured out why this happened. And I
want to share it with you so you can use EODD
(or another plan if you want... but mine is
the best... : ) when you go on vacation or
take a break.

Here's why I dropped the last bit of my
bodyfat:

First, I was on a VERY large cruise ship. I
knew my weight training would not be as
intense (the weights were not that heavy) but
I also knew I could just make it work... train
a bit more and go for the "pump"... just a
good, quick workout. I ended up training 5
days on the cruise without a problem (and only
ONE day of cardio for 20 minutes... you see,
you do NOT need cardio to dump bodyfat!)

But the difference was in the WALKING. The
ship was the largest ever built... the size of
2.5 football fields. And I walked
everywhere... on the islands, on the boat,
even to every meal. Just walking burned off
FAR more calories than my normal lifestyle,
which like most of you has a lot of sitting
down to it. ; )

Walking... my favorite "Cardio" to this very
day.

--------------------------------------------------|

My Supplement Tricks

--------------------------------------------------|

Second, I took extra potassium, along with all
of my Radical Fatloss Blueprint Supplements. I
carried them all on board.

The two that really did the trick for me was
the Aqualize (also known as Acquacil), only
1-2 a day, along with the amino acids.

Finally, I realized that I need MORE food than
I'm eating now in order to increase my
metabolic rate. Just a bit... about 400
calories a day more than I have been eating.
Doing just that rebooted my metabolic rate and
presto... 11 lbs of bodyfat and useless water
is history. My abs have never looked better.

I hope this gives you some encouragement when
it comes to being on the road or on vacation.
With the right plan (like EODD and Radical
Fatloss) you can actually improve your body...

... and best of all, I enjoyed every minute of
my vacation!

Yours In Fitness,

J O N B E N S O N

P.S. An important note was that I made a
decision not to drink on the cruise or
elsewhere. I had one small glass of wine last
night to celebrate with my largest affiliate
and business comrade. He flew in from Israel
just for this meeting, and it was the least i
could do. Roei and I had a blast all day.

The reason drinking is a problem is that
alcohol shuts down fat-burning for several
hours... sometimes longer. But a glass of wine
or two a week is not going to hurt you. I just
made that one small "sacrifice" so I could
enjoy ice cream, pizza (I ate four slices one
night at 3:00am and woke up leaner!) and all
the yummy food the boat had to offer.

So, my final tip: Make a decision to cut out
just ONE thing when you're on the road.
Alcohol was easy for me as I do not drink that
much as it is.

supplement plan here....

Egg Shell Membrane “Superior” to Glucosamine for Arthritis

Just a short note today...about egg...a good one.

Whether they're boiled or poached, scrambled or baked,
over-hard or over-easy, with yolk or without, the ways in
which to eat an egg are limitless. And the thing eggs come
in - the egg shell - are similarly multifaceted, whether they're
tossed at contests and fairs (the egg toss), smashed on siding
and sidewalks (thanks to Halloween pranksters) or buried in
baskets of treasure (the Easter egg hunt).

But the egg isn't all about fun and games or satisfying hunger
pangs. Because according to recent research done on the
incredible, edible egg, it could play a role in relieving pain.

Glucosamine for Arthritis

Have a nice day

A way to eat your favorite foods and still shed body fat like crazy...

Let me get right to the point:

If you thought you had to give up your
favorite foods in order to shed unwanted
bodyfat, then this will be one of the
most important letters you ever read.

Two "former fatties" developed a System of
eating that allows you to eat whatever
you like every other day and still lose
all-the-weight you want.

No pills. No guilt. Just a dietplan for the
REAL WORLD, developed by real people.

If you want to skip ahead, go here --

Most Dietplans Are Too Hard

Most of what you've read about how to
shed bodyweight is a lie.

Some 'experts' expect you to believe they
eat chicken and broccoli every night for
dinner and rarely if ever cheat.

Right. And I'm the Dalai Lama!

Just as bad, these plans are too difficult for
anyone to follow for more than a few weeks.

So when folks like you discover they can eat
their favorite foods every single week and
still shed the weight you should see the look
on their faces.

They can't believe it.

Some think they have to take some "superpill"
to succeed. Not true!

Others think they will have to spend hours a
day in the gym killing themselves. No way!

Here's the truth:

Jon and Jan were both obese. Over the past
four years, they perfected a System that shows
you how they went from obese to "cover model"
fit and still eat their favorite foods.

Not "once a week" either -- they INSIST you eat
yummy food frequently and without guilt or worry.

Even better, they never count a single calorie!

See for yourself --

Every Other Day Diet <== click

Here's the facts: there is NO SUCH THING as a perfect
dietplan. But thousands of people make billions of bucks
off of selling the idea that there is only ONE way to eat
in order to get lean.

Even worse: these people create dietplans so ridiculously
strict that even fitness pros like Jon and Jan can't follow
them! They had to create a plan anyone could follow.
Women, men, and even kids. You should see these pictures!
They used Jan's six-year-old daughter Kari to prove a
point -- This is so simple even a CHILD can do it!
And you should see their clients...the few who know
about this System... They get to eat pizza, burgers, ice cream,
and more...and still lose-the-weight!

This is not a pill or a scam...this is science applied to the
real world. The science: you take advantage of the fact
your body prefers a change of pace and can respond by
burning ugly fat.

The real world: no one is going to eat salad and tuna every
day for the rest of their life in order to shed bodyfat and feel
good again. Simple, right? Common sense! You absolutely
MUST HAVE a dietplan you can live with for life. And that's
what this is.

Every Other Day Diet <== click

What is this new System called?
Announcing "The Every Other Day Diet!"

Great name, isn't it? Pretty much says it all.

But this isn't just a 'book'. You are supported for
an entire year with audios, recipes, success
stories, and more.

All for less than the cost of a dinner for two
at a cheap restaurant.

That's hard to beat.

PLUS you get 10 killer bonuses worth over $500.

Call it a gift for being a loyal reader. Or call it
a Holiday Special...whatever you like.

This is a simple plan that you will absolutely love.

It's a System that took years to perfect and
is about to take the entire nation by storm.

Sincerely,

Jorma Persson

P.S. Thank you for being so patient, too.

"This 1 weird tip works for flattening the belly"

Some of my greatest progress in life has come by listening to
my elders.

Wisdom often comes with age.

Well in this case, fatloss wisdom comes with really,
really... REALLY old age.

I'm talking Fred Flintstone-age.

But once I saw how it works, it made perfect sense to
try it myself...

... and what do you know?

Flatter stomach; less bodyfat; and better muscle tone.
Even sleep improves.

All from this 1 tip.

There's a presentation you need to see:

EODD <-- Click-Here

That will tell you all about it.

Enjoy,

Jorma Persson

P.S. On this page you'll also discover how to get a really
powerful fatloss plan for freee...

Folks can shed up to 21lbs in 21days if they do it right...

5 Surprising Things That Make You Leaner

Want to be leaner?

Good deal... here's 5 tips that will help you along...

TIP 1 Ditch The Starch

Starches, such as rice, potatoes, some veggies, oats, etc. are
often considered "health foods."

While they can be healthy, they can also pack on stomach
bodyfat like crazy if you overdo them.

As you may know, my "Every Other Day Diet" System
(EODD) actually encourages you to eat starches and even
sweets several days a week to get rid of excess weight:

Every Other Day Diet <-- click.

( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help
with your bodyweight goals. )

Well... how does THAT work?

Simple: Timing is everything.

And it takes a "weekly" approach to foods rather than a daily
approach. This keeps your metabolism guessing. If your body
cannot figure out what you're up to, fatburning is that much
more powerful. And you can get by with eating starches... at
least a specific times on specific days.

But if you're not going to do EODD, then you'll have to wing it.
And the best way to wing it is to simply cut starches out entirely
for 4-8 weeks. Then slowly add them back a few days per week.

This is no where near as effective (or as fun) as the EODD method,

but it will get you pointed in the right direction.

TIP 2 Can The Sodas

Why diet-sodas? A recent study revealed that people who drank
diet-sodas actually increased bodyfat when compared to those
who drank sugar-sodas.

What the... ??

Yep. Your body cannot be fooled by aspartame and chemicals.
Sorry, but that's the truth.

Here's a personal story: When I cut out the diet-sodas my
bodyfat drops like a rock in a pond of clear water.

And that's what you need to be drinking: A quart of pure
water per 50 lbs of bodyweight a day.

Try mixing water with lemon and a bit of Stevia (a herbal
sweetener) and make lemonade. It's wonderful!

TIP 3 Stay Hungry

It takes a special person to be hungry... and an even greater
one to stay that way.

I want you to stay hungry in two ways: In how you workout
and literally... stay a bit hungry before you go to bed. Not
"starving"... just a bit hungry.

For your workouts, I have a great solution. If you pick up EODD
you'll get a limited shot at "7 Minute Body"... Jon Benson's
combination of "7 Minute Muscle" and "The 7 Minute In-Home
Workout" in one book... and for more than half off... but that's a
very limited deal. Gotta have EODD... you'll need them both...

EODD <-- click.

You see, progression -- "forced" progression -- is the best way
to stay hungry. 7 Minute Body forces you to progress without
thinking about it. Progression is built into the System.

As far as staying hungry at night? Check with your doctor and
if he/she okays it take 500mg of potassium and 1000mg of
magnesium/calcium a few hours prior to bed. This helps with
the hunger pangs. Also, keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge.
If you get really hungry, eat one with half the yolk (toss the
other half.) It keeps you full for an hour at least.

TIP 4 Cardio Clarity

Hours and hours of cardio a day is not the answer. However,
you can do "light" cardio (i.e. brisk walking, or riding the bike
at 60% of your max) just to burn off calories. That's okay... and
personally I don't find it that boring if I'm watching a TV show.
It does not interfere with my main fatloss exercise (weight
training... YES!) and it burns off about 400 calories an hour.

What does work is early morning fasting cardio... but you only
need 9-15 minutes. Jon Benson explains GXP (Modified) in the
7 Minute Body book, available only if you pick up EODD, and
you can get it at more than half off:

EODD <-- click.

TIP 5 Get Raw At Night

Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help
your fatburning along. Try starting with red peppers because
they're sweet. You you'll eat virtually every veggie raw at night
without thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fatloss is well
worth it.

Are You An Emotional Eater?

You know... emotions can be deadly.

At least when it comes to eating.

And the VAST majority of us are "emotional eaters."

And that leads to excess bodyfat.

We eat when we are stressed-out.

We eat when we are overly happy.

We eat when we are depressed.

And when you eat like this you can kiss your fatloss goodbye.

There's a 4-minute video that I want you to watch today.

It is touching, funny, and very powerful all at the same time.

And it will help you come to terms with emotional eating.

3 "Rebel" Fatloss Tricks

You know what?

I like "weird."

I've always been a bit on the fringe side of the fence if you
know what I mean.

A bit of a rebel.

So were guys like Einstein, Mozart, and Picasso. Not that I'm
putting myself into their category of genius by any stretch...
but I love their approach to life.

BE BOLD...OR GO HOME.

Makes sense to me. This life is too darn short for anything
less than being bold.

That means taking some risks here and there. That means
taking action while the others are content to sit on the couch
being the same person they were yesterday.

And the day before...

And the month before...

And the year before.

Do you want to live your years like that?
Or do you want to dive into life?
Be the greatest "you" possible?

Then be a bit of a rebel.

Here's some "rebel tips" for fatloss I think you'll enjoy...

REBEL TIP 1
Flip The Food Pyramid Upside-down

The USDA's Food Pyramid is an utter joke.
It's origins stink up the joint, let me tell you.

First, the grain industry was in a pinch when the Food
Pyramid was created. And wouldn't you know it... the
grain industry increased their "contributions" (read: bribes)
to certain politicians to get placement atop the pyramid... or
in this case at the very bottom. The "foundation" if you will.

Just think about this for a moment:

The USDA wants you to eat (gasp) MORE starch than vegetables?
More bread than fruits, lean meats, and hormone-producing fats?

Are they NUTS??

Yes... they are nuts. (Which, by the way, are no where near
the foundation... nuts, that is.)

You'd be better off flipping the sucker upside-down.

That would look like this:

40% of your cals from healthy fats 30% of your cals from
protein 30% of your cals from carbs

Roughly, that is.

Sounds... rebellious, right? Well it is.

Too bad I have the science (and the abs) to back it up.

If you want a system laid out for you, then go here:

Every Other Day Diet <-- go! REBEL TIP 2 Cardio Is Not Smart-ee-o At least the way the so-called "experts" want you to do it. Look: This isn't rocket science. Just walk into any gym...take a look at the folks who only do cardio work for 45-60 minutes every day. Do they look any different from year to year? Let me save you some time: NO. They do not. Cardio (unless you are into endurance sports) is a waste of energy done this way. First, it increases your carbohydrate cravings. For most people that's not a good thing. Why? Because cardio at this pace burns mostly SUGAR, not bodyfat. What do you want to burn? Exactly. Bodyfat. Finally, cardio is no where near as efficient as resistance training at dissolving bodyfat... and certainly not even CLOSE to resistance training when it comes to shaping lean muscle and getting the look all these cardio bunnies are after. Now, I 'do' have a rebel cardio trick... and it takes 9-15 minutes 2-3 times a week to perform. That's it. And you get ALL the benefits heart-wise of long-session cardio. I got the tip from fitness guru Jon Benson. Combine it with some brisk walking and my overall fitness plan and presto: No more bodyfat. Here's what is cool: He put his new in-home version of this resistance-based workout online for a few days at a major discount... but it's only for people who pick up this: Every Other Day Diet <-- go! This is completely illustrated with photos too... and you do not need anything but resistance bands and perhaps some cheap dumbbells to do this in-home. Or you can use the gym-based workouts (included with videos.) Train like this just 3-5 days a week and you can kiss long, boring cardio goodbye. REBEL TIP 3 Do Not Overwork Your Abs Here's a mistake I see most people make in the gym: They do endless sets of crunches, leg raises, and (gasp again) sit-ups... all geared toward seeing those toned abs they want. Guess what? Waste of time. In fact, it's worse than that... it can literally shut down your recovery ability. You'll slow your progress in the gym (or at home)... and your fat-burning too. And you may give up your plan entirely because of it. Here's the brutal truth: Ab 'muscles' are easy to build. It only takes about 3 minutes 2-3 times a week... that's it. ( Note: Jon included my "3 Minute Abs" in the fitness book I just told you about... it's only for those who get EODD though... ) The muscles are not what make your stomach flatter... it's the nutrition plan folks. You're just building muscle underneath layers of bodyfat... not good. Jon says he does very little direct ab training. When he does it's usually 3-5 minutes tops 2 days a week. And his abs are... well... killer. : ) Bottom line: Rely on resistance training and Jon's special "favorite foods dietplan" to get and stay lean. More about it all here: Every Other Day Diet <-- go! So be a rebel. Thumb your nose at the establishment and step out on your own. Trust me: You'll be a leader in every sense of the word if you do. My Best, Jorma Persson P.S.

4 Fatloss Tricks No One Tells You About

You know... there's a club you should join.

It's called The Insider's Club.

It is that club whose membership is based only on what secret
goodies the members possess.

In our case, this is the Fatloss Insider's Club. Only those in
the know can join.... freee to them of course... : )

So, if you want to get rid of some lbs...

FATLOSS TRICK 1
Eat Pizza?

Fitness author Jon Benson told me this story.

He went for some New York-style pizza in Austin, Texas.

Did he feel guilty?
No way... in fact the next day he was LEANER.

What the what?

He had to set up his body for this bit of metabolic trickery of
course. You cannot just "eat pizza" and shed the pounds... I
wish you could!

But my personal System for fatloss not only "allows" pizza
(and all my other favorite foods)... it DEMANDS that I eat it.

Another benefit of Jon's System... it really cuts your appetite
and food-cravings down.

Learn how to use his System here:

Every Other Day Diet <-- go!


FATLOSS TRICK 2
The 10-Minute Cardio Trick

If you want to just get into good heart health, you only need
GXP Cardio (covered in the System mentioned above) 2-3 days
per week for 9-15 minutes. That's it.

However if you want to use "smart cardio" (not long, boring cardio)
then you need a bit more. Just a bit.

It's called The 10-Minute Trick.

Start with just every other day. Then move to 4 days... and
then 5.

If you are pressed for time, this is ideal. Even if you are not,
it works like magic.

10 minutes in the morning 'before' you eat. Just make sure
your heart rate is only about 65% of your max... in other words,
you are not breathing super-heavy at all, but you are working
up a sweat. That's it.

10 minutes 'before' lunch. Just cut your lunch hour short by 10
minutes... that's all. You don't sweat enough to need a shower...
don't worry. Walking stairs works great, or walking outside...
be creative!

Then 10 'harder' minutes about 2 hours before you go to sleep.
Get your heart rate up to where you are breathing a little harder.

That's it.

You can even start with just two sessions of 10 minutes (morning
and night) if lunch is out.


FATLOSS TRICK 3
Increase Your Fat?

Yep. I want you to eat more dietary-fat.... but I want you to
replace some of your carbohydrates (starch like rice, potatoes,
etc.) with healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil and almonds.

Fat dulls the appetite and all three of the fats above actually
help your body get rid of its fat-stores if you decrease carbs.

The entire plan is laid out for you. Read more here --

Every Other Day Diet <-- go!


FATLOSS TRICK 4
Think Resistance

Far better than cardio will ever be.
That would be resistance training.

Either weight training or in-home resistance training using
bands and bodyweight. Studies confirm what we fitness pros
already know: Resistance training not only sculpts the body
(cardio cannot) but it also burns 9-12x more bodyfat over
the long-term than cardio.

But you need both. And both cardio and resistance training
(in-home or in the gym) is worked into Jon's book "7 Minute Body."

You can get it when you pick up "Every Other Day Diet" for 75%
off-retail... it is all detailed here...

Common But Useless Fattburning Exercises

You may be wasting your time in the gym or at home if you are
trying to shape your body or get rid of bodyfat.

Most people are. That is when it comes to exercise for getting rid
of bellyfat and getting into better shape.

I was in the gym today (nothing new... ; ) and I saw all 4 of these
exercises being performed by various gym members (again...
nothing new.)

And they are useless for 99% of the people on the planet.

Here they are...

----------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 1: Walking Dumbbell Lunges

----------------------------------------------------------------|

Okay ladies, this one is for you... although I see guys do this
exercise as well.

This is where you take a pair of dumbbells and kneel with one leg,
then the other, and so-on, walking around the gym as you go.

The idea behind this exercise is to work the butt, and to some
extent the thighs... but it's a joke. It's something invented by
trainers who should know better.

If you want to build and tone your butt, exercise one leg at a time.
Lunges are a great exercise for this, but save your energy. Do them
on a Smith Machine or with a barbell. Work one leg at a time, too.
Do not alternate legs. This just wears you out aerobically before it
has a chance to get to your glutes.

Here's how I perform lunges: On a Smith Machine, with pretty
heavy weights... one leg at a time. I will do 2-3 sets, or do them in
my 7 Minute Body-style workout fashion. I will finish one leg (and
one butt cheek) before moving to the other leg.

Why? Again, to focus on the muscle more intensely and to avoid
turning a leg/butt workout into a cardio session.

Jon Benson covers exactly how to work the butt area for the best
results in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle, found right here:

click.here ----- > Every Other Day Diet

-----------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 2: The Sit-up

-----------------------------------------------------------------|

I'm shocked that people still think sit-ups done the old-fashioned
way actually work the abs. Even worse, most people have been
fooled into believing this actually helps get rid of bellyfat.

Nonsense. Bellyfat is burned off when you have a good nutrition
plan and through general exercise, not using exercises for the abs.
Ab exercises are fine, but guess what?

I never train my abs more than 3-5 minutes. Today my ab
workout took 3 minutes and 12 seconds to complete. And my
abs are sore!

But without the nutrition plan, forget it... I'd never SEE my abs
at all. I'd just have a nice wall of muscle with a bunch of flab
covering it up.

The best nutrition plan for abs is The Every Other Day Dietplan,
found here:

click.here ----- > Every Other Day Diet

The best exercises to do for the actual ab muscles are hanging leg
raises, done slowly, crunches (if you do them right)... and that's
really all you need.

-----------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 3: The Bench Press

-----------------------------------------------------------------|

I'm going to get a lot of flack from the guys out there who love to
bench, but I'm here to tell you that this exercise for bodyshaping
is all but worthless.

Why? Because most people are not built right body-wise to bench
press on a flat bench with a barbell. I am not, that's for sure.

Bench presses work if you have short arms, a relatively short torso,
and your shoulders are genetically strong.

Protect your shoulders and really work your chest by doing incline
dumbbell presses with your palms facing OUT, not in toward your
head. This protects the rotator cuff, a part of the shoulder that is
often injured using barbell bench presses.

Combine this with a good cable fly or press movement and you're
set. Again, you only need about 7-14 minutes of chest work tops
to get the job done.

----------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 4: Most Cardio Exercises

----------------------------------------------------------------|

Yep... saved the best for last.

Here's a fact: Most cardio (bike, treadmill, glider, whatever) is a
waste of time... UNLESS you do it at the right time with the right
nutrition plan.

The calories you burn from cardio will be easily negated simply
by eating a bagel! Hardly effective for getting rid of bodyfat.
Weight training and/or resistance training at home or with your
body weight, as covered in 7 Minute Muscle, is your best bet for
exercise that burns-off mega-calories and keeps on burning long
after the exercise session is over.

Here's how to use traditional cardio wisely:

1. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach;
2. Keep your heart rate down to 75% of your max (220 minus
your age x .75 will give you this number, at least approximately);
3. "Burst" for 2-3 minutes in your session up to 85-90% of your
max heart rate.
4. OR, do cardio right after weight or resistance training when
your heart rate is already elevated and your blood sugar is lower.
Your body burns blood sugar first during exercise.

Cardio for most people only needs to be performed 3-4 times a
week for 20 minutes. The only time I break this rule is when I
want to get my bodyfat really low. Then I will do more, but
only using the rules above.

Hope this saves you a ton of time with your workouts.

A Rant: Why We REALLY Overeat

Note: Fitness author Jon Benson sent this email to me today
and I felt I had to share it with you.

He really tells it like it is... enjoy!

Jorma Persson

----------------------

Fair warning ... this one is a rant. It's probably a bit long,
but take the time to read it.

I have some things to get off my chest ... and a lot of people
reading this will find it refreshing.

We have a problem in this country... hell, this world... with
people overeating.

Obviously overeating is one of the primary reasons people are
struggling with bellyfat and excess bodyweight in general.
The solution to this problem is not "don't eat so much", although
that is the end goal.

The solution is to really, REALLY understand how your body
uses fuel and how to create a dietplan that allows you to take
advantage of it.

First, my rant.

You want to know why 99% of the people who fail to see results
from my dietplans... or any dietplan for that matter... REALLY
fail?

They do not understand how smart and powerful their bodies
really are.

Look... no dietplan on earth will allow you to eat whatever you
want every day. That's fatloss suicide.

No pills will cure this. No surgery.

Only this will cure it:

Use your body's own internal appetite mechanisms to your
advantage.

I receive hundreds of emails every day from people who see
results from my Every Other Day Dietplan.

But I won't lie to you: I also get emails from people who do not.

Welcome to the real world, right? Some people succeed, others
do not. It's the same story no matter what your goals may be.

But in fatloss, the difference between success and failure, at least
in the case of my readers, is NOT the dietplan... it's the need to
fully appreciate how and why it works.

Let me explain...

Here is a picture of me (excuse the quality; this was snapped
with a mirror and a cellphone...)

http://www.jonbenson.com/img/jbtowel.jpg

Obviously I have abs... and I'm lean... and because I love to lift
weights I also carry a lot of muscle... but the real power behind
this picture is what you do NOT see:

--> You do not see what I ate the night before; half a pizza.

--> You do not see how obese I was ten years ago... yes, 70lbs
over-fat with a belly that looked like I swallowed a basketball.

--> You do not see how I set my body up to receive this pizza
and actually get leaner after eating it.

In case you think I'm on some magical dietplan or taking some
fatburning-stimulants... wrong.

I just woke up 5 years ago after studying nutrition for 15 years
and finally put 2 and 2 together.

So, here's the facts.

My EODD Plan is build around a simple concept: Eat your
favorite foods "frequently" and still drop the bodyweight you
want.

And it works... not because it's a gimmick, but because it uses
the science of metabolism, natural hormonal manipulation, and
psychology to prepare your body to eat more calories.

Now those calories could easily come from, say, three yams... but
I prefer pizza. ; )

If you've tried EODD with success, you know what I'm talking
about. If not... then read on.

First, EODD never promises you that you can eat however MUCH
you want every other day (or in my case, since I'm athlete, every
three days)... no, no, NO!

It's whatever you want... not however MUCH you want. That is
the sole reason a small fraction of my readers are not seeing the
results they want.

Now, here's the beauty of it all:

After about 3 weeks following my System of eating, you simply
cannot overeat... well, you can, but you'd have to force-feed
yourself in order to pull it off.

You've been feeding yourself frequently for the day or two
before your favorite food meals. The higher protein and very
low starch content of the nutrition plan (with plenty of veggies)
ensures that your body's metabolism stays elevated. BUT... and
this is crucial... the amount of food consumed on these days
before is not that much.

I'm never starving... I eat too frequently for that, plus the foods
on my Plan curb your appetite. But I am not eating anywhere near
my maintenance level of calories. I do not count calories (nor should
you)... I just follow the System, which does the calorie-counting
for me. Plus I know my body really well after all these years.

So, after days of eating enough to keep my metabolism relatively
high, and right BEFORE it starts to slow down (your metabolism
slows when you do not eat enough, bringing fatloss to a rapid halt)
I hit the body with a lot of calories.

BUT... at the right time, and never at certain times.

And, please read this: I do not eat "however much" I want on my
feed meals... I eat WHATEVER I want in reasonable portions.
I don't have to fight to not overeat, even when it's pizza or burgers
(my two favorite cheat meals.) Why? Because my body is set up to
want more food, but also trained not to eat too much food at one
sitting.

This is because I've been "grazing" -- eating small, frequent meals
the days before my feed day. And the body learns to
adapt... quickly.

The brain is actually re-trained to signal the stomach that you've
had enough food... yes, even when it's dessert, or pizza, or
whatever your favorite food may be.

So here's the deal: Yes, you can lose all the bellyfat and bodyfat
you want eating like this... but like anything else that works,
you have to follow a few simple rules.

The result is a dietplan where you never feel trapped. You always
know that tomorrow, or possibly the day after, you can have
whatever food you want. Just in reasonable amounts.

If you ask me, this is the perfect trade-off. No starvation,
super-healthy eating at least 4 days a week, and you get to eat
your cake as well (literally if you want.)

It's not magic -- it's science, and a bit of work on your part.
Yes, work.

Nothing happens with effort. But put some effort into this
System and boy... there's not a better dietplan on the face
of the earth.

Click the link below and watch my full presentation on how and
why this works...

Every Other Day Diet

Now, one more thing: I do take a few supplements to help the
process along. I have a video on the Member's Only page that
explains what I take and why.

The good news: Not one of these supplements are stimulants or
dangerous. In fact they're all very healthy nutrients the body
needs.

In conclusion, I like to think of The Every Other Day Dietplan as
"The Thinking Person's Dietplan." Anyone who considers every
angle of what it takes to shed bodyfat: Food you enjoy, freedom,
a plan that's easy to follow, and flexibility will recognize this right
away as the ideal approach.

But, like all ideal approaches, it requires you to re-think the
way you eat.

You eat for fuel... period. But you CAN (and should) eat for
pleasure too. As long as you keep FUEL as the main reason
you are eating in the forefront of your mind, your body (and
mind) will follow. Your body will adapt and begin to use both
healthy and "not-so-healthy" foods as fuel.

Fuel to power your workouts, help you burnoff that bellyfat
and bodyweight you don't want, and empower your sense of
control.

Especially now, "food as fuel first; food as pleasure second"
should be carved into your dinner table. Because, let's face
it: When all that holiday overeating is over with, you will be
left with a bigger belly, feeling sluggish, and just one more step
away from the body you desire.

My alternative offers the best of both worlds. You just have to
be willing to re-think some things and give your body a few weeks
to re-learn what it already knows --

When to signal you that you're full, and way before you overeat.
And, believe it or not, you can (and should) do this by eating your
favorite foods each and every week.

That's the only way to keep your MIND satisfied and happy.
And your mind is the key to your body's success.

Thanks for reading.

6 Strange Dietary Bedfellows

You know, fitness and nutrition guy Jon Benson has a humorous
way of putting things that we all need to hear. I received this
email from him today and had to share it with you.
It's not only funny, it's true.

Read on...

Jorma Persson


--------------------------------------------------------------|

6 Strange Dietary Bedfellows

--------------------------------------------------------------|

What do these six things have in common?

--- McDonalds
--- Renee Zellweger
--- Epileptic children
--- Yours truly
--- Most bodybuilding and fitness competitors
--- Kiefer Sutherland

Give up?

All the above employ the strategies of the low-carb dietplan.

Recently researchers have found that low-carb nutrition plan
reduced the number of seizures in epileptic children.

Most of the world's leanest physiques get that way on a regimen,
limited or not, of low-carbs and higher protein.

Even McDonalds is getting into the act.

Even Renee Zellweger.

Even Kiefer Sutherland.

Even me.

Kinda.

Read on and I'll explain what I mean...

--------------------------------------------------------------|

Why Low-Carb Works

--------------------------------------------------------------|

When McDonalds starts counting carb grams in their food, you
know someone is either jumping on a trend or finally seeing the
light.

In this case, both -- but it is a good thing. Low-carb dietplans.
They work.

For the masses, they work because they are the easiest nutrition
plan to follow when you're busy.

McDonalds and stars like Kiefer Sutherland figured this out. The
busy on-the-go guy or gal doesn't want to make the time to
prepare six meals per day and carry them around in Tupperware.

When choosing my own lifestyle nutrition plan, time and
convenience played a major role. I looked at role models who
were very busy, formerly obese, and very lean.

Most of them rely in some form or fashion on a low-carb
strategy.

Low-carb also works, much to the hem and haw of traditional
doctors and nutritionists, due to the way the body processes fuel.

For those of us fortunate enough to grow up on whole grains and
very low-sugar mealplans, a moderate to higher-carb nutrition
plan may work just fine.

But most of us grew up eating junk.

Processed foods, fast foods, and downright junk was the
cornerstone of our dietplans.
That puts your body on the "carb defense."

After years of abuse the body becomes resistant to carbohydrates.
The insulin they produce can cause all sorts of health issues,
fat-burning problems, and more.

When carbs are removed, even healthy carbs like whole grains,
the body has time to re-adjust.

In some cases, you can go back to a moderate-carb plan with
whole grains and fruits after a period of time.

In others, you are a "low-carber" for life.

Guess which one I am?

Finally, low-carb works because you tend to eat less. Fat is very
satiating, and most low-carb plans are fairly high in dietaryfat.

So, in recap:

--- Easy and convenient;
--- Metabolically important for carb recovery;
--- Lower in total food volume (eat less)

Do not make light of that first point. Any plan that is not simple is
one very few people will stick to. Making your plan simple and
tasty is key, even if that plan is not "perfect" by nutritional
standards.

Now, by far, the best low-carb dietplan in the world (yes, I'm
bias for good reason!) is this:

click.here ------> Every Other Day Diet

EODD works so well because your carbs are low for "most" of
the time. Not "all" of the time. And the times when your carbs
are not low you can enjoy your favorite foods.

Personally I enjoy pizza and burgers on my non-low-carb days.
You can enjoy whatever you want if you just keep it reasonable.

You see, there's no need to diet-perfect.

Progress always trumps perfection.

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Why Low-Carb Fails

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

There are two primary reasons for the failure of the low-carb
nutrition plans: boredom and media bashing.

One causes irritability. The other, doubt. Unless you're certain
that your plan will work, you will eventually go off of it.

This is true of any plan, no matter how ideal it is. Certainty rules.

That's why I believe in having a flexible, tasty plan like EODD.

Then boredom is easily solved.

I share my own unique ideas about "cycling" carbs and fats in the
presentation here:

click.here ------> Every Other Day Diet

Using my cycle strategy you will rarely if ever become bored.
And your body will burn more bodyfat too. It's just a cheap
metabolic trick...but boy, it works.

The second reason is media and medical bias. One study after
another has proven that low-carb plans, even the Atkins plan,
works and is safe to use for most people.

Check with your doctor first, of course.

I've seen researchers get down-right angry when the results come
back. In one study, carried out for a full year, the low-carb plan
out-performed the so-called "healthy" Dean Ornish plan.

Lower blood fats, more fatloss, and more energy were the results.

My preference always comes back to low-carb nutrition. I just
cycle it in a way that allows me to get plenty of veggies, some
grains, and ample fiber.

Even a slice of cheesecake here and there... : )

Hey...I said "low-carb", not "low-life!"

P.S. One of these days the mainstream medical community will
wake up to the fact that 90% of the population will never eat 15
servings of veggies per day.

While this may be "optimal", it's not at all practical. I'd rather
give you down-to- earth practical nutrition advice that you
CAN and WILL follow - and enjoy.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

3 reasons why obesity is... a disease?

I bet you didn't know this ...

Obesity...even being overfat... is a disease.

No, really.

At least that's what several social groups wish you to believe.
"Suffers Of Obesity" is just one of those groups. Their entire
stance is obesity (which, btw, can be only 30lbs or so over your
ideal bodyweight) is an actual disease.

Well, is it?

Yes... and no.

Comedian Ricky Gervais has a hilarious go at this stance... that
obesity is a disease. You sometimes have to laugh, you know? ; )

"No... it's not a disease... it's greed. You just love to eat," or so
Gervais believes.

Well, in my first newsletter for 2010, a new decade with new ideas,
I'm here to share a new idea with you:

We really need to redefine some words.

One of those words is "disease".

Case-in-point: Wikipedia.com defines disease...

"In human beings, "disease" is often used more broadly to refer to
any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social
problems, and/or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems
for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it
sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes,
infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical
variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and
for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable
categories."

Let's think about that.

If you bump your knee against a sharp object, is this a new disease
called "bumpuskneeitis?" Er... no. It's an accident. Sure, it may
'cause' a specific set of symptoms that could broadly (as in as
broad as the back-side of a barn) be considered a "disease",
but ... no. It's an accident with biological consequences.

Social problems? So, if I decide to read 17 books on why my
parents suck as a teenager and develop anti-social behavior,
is this a "disease"? NO! This is the angst of youth combined,
perhaps, with poor parenting! Sure, it can lead to mental issues
that could be classified as "disease", but guess what?

It's totally within your control. No one force-fed the books to the
teen. And no one is force-feeding you, or anyone you know.

That decision is yours and yours alone... and anyone, repeat
ANYONE on the face of planet earth can change their behaviors
and attitudes toward food.

Okay, some more thoughts on disease:

Let me give you a few examples of what is typically thought of
as "disease"...

--- Leprosy
--- Cancer
--- Hypothyroidism

We'll just take three... there are thousands as you know.

Now, we can all agree that these three states represent true
"disease". The first you could catch by accident; the second is a
combination of genetics, environment, and who-knows-what-else,
and the third is almost always genetic.

One, cancer, is something you 'may' be able to do something about.
For example, lung cancer. 90% of lung cancer patients contract the
disease from smoking.

Let's just cover these 90%, shall we?

And folks, I'm asking for an open mind here...

Is lung cancer, in the case of the 90%, REALLY a disease?

Or is it a biological consequence?

Sure, "cancer" is a disease. But what caused it in this case?
Something involuntary? Hardly. Something that could not
be stopped?

No way.

The 90% caused it. Period.

Welcome to the real world.

So, I propose this: We redefine "disease" as an abnormal biological
condition that we DO NOT have direct cause or effect over.

Airborne viruses: Disease. Obesity: NOT a disease.

And yes, lung cancer in chain smokers: NOT a disease; it's a
biological outcome. The end result should be treated as a disease,
of course, but come on: Where is the responsibility folks?

Life, if you want to live it fully and without fear, is ALL about
taking total responsibility. That's empowerment. Anything less
is... well, LESS.

In our example, lung cancer is no more a "disease" than, say, me
hitting myself over the head with a hammer every day and causing
brain damage is a disease.

Brain damage (not self-induced) = disease.

Brain damage caused by self-inflicted hammer-hitting = biological
consequence. In this case of sheer stupidity!

Now, one could (and many will) make the argument that I had a
"mental" disease that caused me to WANT to hit myself over the
head with a hammer... but... well...

At this point we need to redefine the word "disease" in my opinion.
Here's why:

First, if this were the case, I could say that all criminals have a
disease.

They all have a mental disease that makes them want to kill, steal...
you name it.

This may in fact BE true... we do not know... but do we hold them
NOT responsible if it is? No, we do not.

And that brings us back to obesity.

Obesity and being overfat is not a disease folks...
------ > it's a biological consequence.

And, with the exception of the extremely 'rare' cases of total
glandular dysfunction from birth, obesity... your bodyweight...
is your responsibility.

Period. End of story.

Sorry, but that's the way the ball bounces.

Am I being mean? No. I was obese. I have a right to speak my
mind about it, and trust me: My depression (a disease... sorta...
some genetic, but a lot of it was caused by eating too much sugar)
definitely aided in my obesity.

Then how come I'm not obese any more?

I found a better way to eat. I re-trained my body to crave this
style of eating (and exercise) over stuffing myself with pizza and
burgers every day.

Here's what I use:

Click.Here-----------> Every Other Day Diet

It torches bellyfat... and it reprograms the body and mind to use
food as fuel... especially if you use Jon's "7 Minute Body" workout
system (you can get it at 77% off after you pick up EODD on the
page above... ; )

So be brave. Be fearless. And be responsible.

Oh... and be sure not to catch "internetemailitis"... its a disease that
causes you to want to check your email more than 10 times a day.

I have it. So be careful... may be contagious. : )

P.S. Author Jon Benson documents his journey from obesity to
total leanness in EODD. He had to overcome 'real' diseases, like
pituitary failure from a high fever (i.e. viral pneumonia that
almost killed him) and clinical depression (partially what he calls
"his fault"; partially not... i.e. half disease, half biological
consequence.) He KNOWS what you can do once you have a solid
plan in place and a determined mind.

Then no "disease" can stop you... at least the ones that do not
kill you.

So go for it... be brave, be responsible... and be lean!

Today is the Day...

Hi,

The time to change is now.

The time to finally take action on your health and fitness,
to lose fat, to boost your energy, and to dramatically
increase your confidence is right now - this very
second - today.

So what should you do?

First, get started in the Turbulence Training
Transformation Contest.

There is no cost to enter.

And remember: A 12 week transformation is only 0.3% of
your life. If you focus on learning about your body for
12 weeks it will allow you to be lean forever.

The TT Transformation is the 0.3% solution you've been
looking for.

Second, stick to the basics.

Sure it's easy to get caught up in the latest "weight
loss craze", but it is essential for you to never stray
too far from the basics.

- Keep and review your food journal regularly.
- Use a proven, structured workout program that gets you
maximum results in minimum time - you don't even need a
gym membership.
- Surround yourself with social support at home, work,
and online.

These are the 3 most important factors in your fat loss
success.

Third, I want you to put a little urgency into your fat
loss program.

IMAGINE: What if you had to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks
or you lost your job, could you do it?

Imagine you had to go to jail if you skipped your workout
to sit on the couch instead - would you make that workout?

You just need to find compelling motivation to stick to
your plan, so spend some time in reflection on that - and
find YOUR REASON.

Remember...

Nobody gets old by surprise.

Nobody.

No one is in a "perfect environment" to transform their
body. We all have stress and time limits. That's why you
need a proven plan.

So those are the 3 main things you must change today.

If you want the best fat loss program to help you
transform your body in the comfort of your own home,
I have amazing news for you.

Super-Trainer Craig Ballantyne has released DVD copies
of his complete Turbulence Training workout package
- plus his bodyweight workout system - to help you lose
fat at home.

That's the good news...but the bad news is that there are
only 37 copies available and the DVD's are only available
on a first come, first serve basis here:

=> http://vur.me/s/tt-dvd

You will get:

- TT for Fat Loss DVDs (includes "lecture" from my kitchen)
