Convinced Starving Yourself Is The Wrong Way To Lose Weight?
Here’s the deal. You deserve to lose weight and I want you to discover a diet that will lead you to the body, health, and happiness that you have been looking for.
You deserve to strip any unwanted fat from your body and look and feel the way you have always wanted. The name of this healthy weight loss system is Strip That Fat , because that is exactly what happens when you use it. It instructs you how to lose weight by stripping unwanted fat from your body, regaining the healthy glow back into your life. Less fat will give you more energy, a clearer mind, and actually increase happiness!
Many diets are much too strict, not sustainable, and make your life miserable. Hey, your body requires food to function. Losing weight the wrong way… not making it a Fit Fat Loss… by not eating is actually worse for you than gaining weight. And low fat foods do not equal weight loss either.
Do it wrong and it will affect the way your brain functions and not just slow your metabolism down, but bring it to a grinding halt!
You CAN NOT lose weight and stay healthy by starving yourself of nutrition.
Following pre-packaged Diet Programs can cost you dearly each month to maintain! Does it make sense to spend more than most families spend on groceries in an entire month for one diet plan?
If so much does not work, what does it take to strip unwanted fat from your body?
Well, do YOU eat the wrong foods?
Or do YOU eat during the wrong times of the day?
And perhaps YOU eat empty calories watching your favorite TV Show? How about some easy exercise… do YOU neglect to walk the dog or play with your kids?
Now, diet is most of the battle, and granted, exercise is important too. Yet, most overweight people are prevented from being rewarded with a healthy waistline because of what they “consume”, not because of lack of exercise!
It is simple… unless you have equalized calorie intake and expenditure, the food you eat will either make you lose weight or gain weight.
Conventional wisdom has it that we need breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday; however, eating 3 big meals per day is not good for our body. 5 meals a day is better for you. (Yes, some say 6 meals is even better)
Eating more often readjusts the metabolism to burn more calories. I‘ve said it before, eating smaller meals and eating the right foods, will result in even more weight loss! Strange as it sounds, but if you understand your body, you can truly manipulate your metabolism for speedy and sustainable weight loss – our bodies are very complex!
All of that and more is what you are taught in Strip That Fat.
Consider the following statements:
- Actually lose more weight simply by eating the right metabolism burning foods
- Learn certain exercises that will make your body burn more calories while you are resting… and even sleeping
- During exercise, target the muscles that will boost the body’s metabolism and literally strip away fat
- Lose up to 2 lbs of PURE FAT each week
- Learn the Secrets of Water
- Have a solution for short term weight loss…
- Solutions for long term weight loss…
- Solutions to lose 10 pounds of fat…
- Solutions to lose 50 pounds and more
- You actually get to eat more and lose more with Strip that Fat!
- Notice results within the next 7 days!
- Access to package updates when you purchase the Strip That Fat System! Bonuses too, from time-to-time…
It’s all covered… and that just scratches the surface of what this diet offers.
You can experience big results in a short time with the STF Diet Generator. This creates diets on the fly and provides a choice of over 40,000 different diet combinations. You only have to eat the foods you like.
A few weeks from now you can lose inches around your waist, drop many pounds in overall weight, and look and feel better too.
You will have learned the weight loss secrets you need to know to enjoy long term and consistent weight loss.
If you do not start at this moment, you will continue gaining weight. It is time to use a diet that actually works, it is time to treat your body the way it is meant to be treated.
Losing weight has never been more possible. So do yourself a favor, join Strip That Fat and start losing those stubborn pounds right away.
In only days from now, you will look and feel different. Strip That Fat is going to shed pounds like no other diet you have experienced. It will be a once in a life time event, a Fit Fat Loss Event, personalized for you!
Admit it, the entire reason why are you are at the Fit Fat Loss site is because you know you want to lose weight, and you can lose weight! I know you desire to be slimmer, have a thinner waistline, and remove the extra fat deposits from around your stomach.
My job is done, it is in your hands now… I have introduced you to the Strip That Fat dieting system, their main page tells you much more…
And they reveal how low the purchase price is…!
Dealing With The Problem Of Belly Fat
I’ve said it a couple of times already… making simple changes to your eating habits will contribute to a healthy weight loss… a fit fat loss.
There is a misconception that turning unwanted belly fat into a toned set of 6 pack abs (or even just a firm, flattened stomach) requires punishing exercise with multiple routines of stomach crunches and sit-ups. However, the truth is, that these exercises just tone the muscle underneath and do not actually tackle the problem of burning off belly fat. Your bad luck… no one will notice all your hard work in getting those abs if they are still hidden under several layers of fat!
So, before you try burning off the excess fat from around your belly, address the problem of how it got there in the first place. You’ll find it was… your diet.
Still consuming saturated fats and processed meats like bacon and bologna? It wasn’t the fruit that added the pounds… but if you like sweets… the cakes, pies, and pastries… there was a part of the problem. Some easy changes you can make immediately include ditching white bread, and switching to brown pasta and rice. Opt for fruit as a snack.
Did you realize that when you eat plays a role in fat loss? The trick to burning more calories is an increased metabolism. Believe it or not, having a healthy snack between meals increases the metabolism.
Another thing about metabolism is to eat more! …more meals that is… in smaller portions throughout the day… no large amounts of food permitted! You will be tricking your body that it does not need to store fat because a source of energy is always available.
The longer the gap between meals, the slower your metabolism burns energy. (did I say that correctly?) Having frequent small meals will send the signal to your body that it is not being starved, so there is no need to store energy as fat!
That’s step one… changing your eating habits to promote a thinner you.

3 “Rebel” Fatloss Tricks
[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. I will be featuring his articles as a contributor on Fit Fat Loss. ]
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 it 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:
The Every Other Day Diet 
The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!
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.
Combine that with some brisk walking and my overall fitness plan and presto: No more bodyfat.
Here’s what is cool: I put my 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:
The Every Other Day Diet The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!
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: I 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.
I do very little direct ab training. When I do it’s usually 3-5 minutes tops 2 days a week. And my abs are… well… good. : )
I rely on resistance training and my special “favorite foods dietplan” to get and stay lean.
More about it all here:
The Every Other Day Diet The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!
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.
10 Fatloss Questions You Should Be Asking
[ Note: This is a portion of an article by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. He would like me to share it with you. The remainder of the article is on his site. ]
There’s stuff you know.
Then there’s stuff you don’t know.
But the key to success in anything is the discovery of one other variable:
The things you don’t know you don’t know.
Think about that.
So many people ask me questions like…
– How can I get rid of my stubborn bodyfat?
– How fast can I do it?
– What’s the best dietplan for me?
These are good questions, don’t get me wrong.
But there are at least 10 questions most people never know to ask.
It’s the stuff they didn’t know they didn’t know… make sense?
Today we’ll cover 3 of the 10…
HIDDEN QUESTION 1:
“What’s The Best Dietary-Fat To Eat To Get Rid Of Bodyfat?”
Sounds nutty, doesn’t it?
The media loves to deceive you when it comes to dietary fats… and I’m here to set the record straight:
You absolutely must consume dietary fat in order to burn-off your bodyfat.
There’s an old saying: “Fat burns…but in the presence of dietary-fat.”
It’s true.
There are actually two “Best Fats” you should be eating:
Coconut Oil
CLA
Coconut oil is ideal to cook with. Use that in place of all the starchy foods you may be eating. You’ll get leaner faster… and you’ll be a ton more healthy too.
Coconut oil keeps you satisfied longer, lubricates your joints, and yes… actually helps you get rid of stubborn bodyfat.
Use 1 tablespoon per 50 lbs per day, but be sure to decrease your starchy carbs (breads, rice, potatoes, etc.)
CLA is a form of (gasp!) transfat… but it’s a healthy form that helps your body get rid of bodyfat. You can only get it in supplement-form… well, that’s the best way.
I personally take 4 grams per day. Jarrow is my favorite brand. You can get it at most health food stores.
I cover several other fats you need to eat in my video and book, found here:
The Every Other Day Diet Click-Here
HIDDEN QUESTION 2:
“Why Is Cardio Bad For Me?”
Okay… that’s an over-statement. It’s not ‘bad’ for you… it’s just not nearly as ‘good’ for you as the media and magazines want you to believe.
Especially if you do it the way they suggest: Too long, too frequently.
Do it the way I suggest and watch what happens.
First, spend 80% of your exercise time doing ‘resistance’ training, not cardio… but rest very brief between sets.
My newest update to “7 Minute Muscle” is called “7 Minute Body”. It combines both “7 Minute Muscle” and an additional 100 or so pages of in-home ONLY workouts.
That way you can train in the gym… or in your home… and get it done in 7 to 14 minutes a day. Done!
You will be shaping your body and burning-off some major calories at the same time… all without boring cardio.
Then when you “do” cardio, do it the way I detail in “7 Minute Body”… use the 9-minute GXP Cardio Workout.
Add simple walking to this several days a week and your cardio is set.
GXP works because it is progressive and does not over-tax the recovery system. You warm up, then hit about 85% of your max effort, then cool down.
But the key is ‘when’ to do it… and that’s covered in my book.
I still enjoy sitting on my bike and watching TV, but I do that just to burn-off those last bits of bodyfat. Most of you do not need to do this.
It’s a waste of time for the masses… but resistance training is not.
Oh, one more thing: Runners have a far higher degree of heart attacks than non-runners. So cardio ‘can’ be bad for you if you over-do it.
NOTE: You can pick up “7 Minute Body” at 77% off…
but only if you get EODD…

HIDDEN QUESTION 3:
“How Does Pizza Help Me Shed Bodyfat?”
Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
Think again.
My dietary plan not only “lets” you eat pizza (or whatever your favorite foods might be) every week, several times a week… it DEMANDS that you do it.
What the…. ?
Yep. Here’s why.
First, I have you eat less on certain days and certain times. If done the way I suggest your metabolism (the rate you use fat, energy, etc.) will not slow down that much.
Then… at a specific time… boom! You eat a lot more food… and the best way to do this is eating your favorite foods.
First, they usually have more calories.. duh! Second, you’ll ENJOY the freakin’ process! Most “diets” fail because people hate them… too restrictive.
So I created my System from the ground up to ensure I never got bored with my eating… and the extra cals from pizza (or my favorite… Mexican… or Key Lime Pie… yum) actually boosts my metabolism sky-high.
Here’s an example:
Last week I ate the normal Every Other Day Diet-way… for me it’s the “Extreme Plan” (there are 4 Plans, each for different goals.)
So, after several days of lower-cal, lower-carb eating, I ate about 5000 calories of Mexican food (so good!) But the TIMING is crucial. You just can wing it. Don’t worry… I tell you exactly when to do it.
The next morning I saw more of my abs.
I went back to EODD-style eating, which I love btw… and then later had some Key Lime Pie… and what do you know? Leaner the next day.
Now I’m doing this as I “peak” — I have to be in top shape in December. The only time I stop this is 4 weeks prior to a photoshoot… but unless you want to be 5% bodyfat (and you probably do not) you never have to stop it.
Works like a charm.

FAT LOSS & Bodybuilding Secrets – BURN YOUR Belly Fat!
Go to http://bit.ly/n6EdS & I will teach YOU little known Nutrition Principles that will force you to gain muscle & lose fat faster than ever. I started passionately studying what lean people were doing in 1981 because my waistline was 40 inches. I have learned a lot since then. I am now in the best shape of my life at the age of 44. My waistline is now 31 inches. Nutrition is 60-70% of your fat loss / muscle gain program. Follow me & I will teach you exactly how to eat for your body type, activity level, starting point, & your goals. Go to http://bit.ly/n6EdS to learn about my FatLoss LifeStyle System. I believe that it is one of the most time efficient, results orientated fitness / fat;loss programs on the market today. You can work-out till your blue in the face but if you do not incorporate Interval Cardio (done first thing in the morning in a fasted state), intense functional multi-joint, compound exercises, small healthy meals often with protein and carbs combined together, positive mindset, goal setting & social support (you will turn into who you hang around) you will not change your body much. But if you do focus on the 5 pillars of fitness & health, you will radically change your waistline, your lifestyle, and your life. YOUR ATTITUDE WILL DETERMINE YOUR ALTITUDE (how high you go in life) YOUR WAISTLINE DETERMINES YOU ATTITUDE GET A BETTER BODY; GET A BETTER LIFE!! The main reason to workout abs is because strong abs will stabilize your lower back and prevent you from an injury; but as a side benefit a 6-pack looks great! Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A couple of rubber bands & some good exercises is all it takes to get started with your home workouts. You do not need any equipment. In fact most of the clubs are wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipment that is making peoples bodies less functional and worse off. I highly advice you to pick one mentor at a time, limit your information, train hard & smart, and expect success!! Some of the people that I respect are Tom Venuto & Burn the Fat, Feed The Muscle, Craig Ballantyne & Turbulence Training, Mike Geary & Six Pack Abdominal Program, Dr. Al Sears & his Pace cardio program, Dr. Mercola, & Depoch Chopra and his spirituality teachings Just Do It!!

5 Surprising Things That Make You Leaner
[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. I will be featuring his articles as a contributor on Fit Fat Loss. ]
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:
The Every Other Day Diet Click Here!
( 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 we take 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
This one is really hard for me. I’ve been hooked on diet-soda on and off for years. When I go to get into top shape (like I am now) I have to get rid of the diet-sodas… yes, DIET-sodas. Need I say “real” sodas too? They are loaded with sugar.
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.
I mix it with lemon and a bit of Stevia (an herbal sweetener) and make lemonade. It’s wonderful!
TIP 3
Stay Hungry
Arnold’s first movie was “Stay Hungry” (well, after “Pumping Iron” that is). You cannot rest on your butt and stay hungry. You cannot think you’ve “arrived” and 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”… my 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…
The Every Other Day Diet Click Here!
( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your bodyweight goals. )
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 me 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. I explain the GXP Protocol (Modified) in the 7 Minute Body book, available only if you pick up EODD, and you can get it at more than half off:
The Every Other Day Diet Click Here!
( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your bodyweight goals. )
TIP 5
Get Raw At Night
Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help your fatburning along. I started with red peppers because they’re sweet. Now I eat virtually every veggie raw at night without thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fatloss is well worth it.
