Wow.
This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.
Fitness pro Jon Benson released a bombshell last week on the fat-burning world.
He is giving away a book's worth of material in his freee 7-Day Personal Fat Loss Certification Course.
Freee... and get this: Anyone who completes the course gets his book "The Radical Fatloss Blueprint" freee as well.
So there's nothing to buy at all... in fact you get tons of freee stuff AND you can even earn bucks in the program.
It's just too cool for words.
So go see it for yourself:
---> Complimentary Fat Loss Course and Book <----
Here is a short review:
The Course is for anyone who wants to become their own "personal" fatloss expert. It is complete with a quiz each day and more material than most people sell in a book... and it's totally freee.
After the course, you get his "Radical Fatloss Blueprint" freee too. This is all about how he and a group of "guinea pigs" experimented with natural techniques and got up to 21 lbs of unwanted bodyfat off in just 21 days.
The average was 17.5, but some people got as much as 30 lbs off.
All with little to no muscle lost.
It then outlines the 'exact' workout and supplement "feeding" schedule Jon still uses to get into top shape in 21 days.
This is down to the 'hour'... and it includes home workouts or gym workouts. Your choice.
This is his gift to my readers, and I am thrilled to share it with you.
Here you go:

Enjoy the course!

The Skinny on Fats
Let's get this one out in the open:
1. Fats do not make you gain bodyfat.
2. Fats do not put you on Heart Attack Row.
3. Fats are not the enemy.
We've been sold a bag of lies when it comes to fats.
Fats are essential for your body's hormone production, skin health, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and even burning bodyfat. Yep... you need fats to burn fat.!
Studies have been conducted to attempt to elevate cholesterol levels using high-fat diets. Most all of them have failed miserably -- in fact several "lowered" total cholesterol while raising the so-called "good" cholesterol (HDL).
That being said, you don't need the following...
1. A lot of fats in your diet. Fats still contain over twice the calories per gram as carbs and protein.
2. Any kind of "fake fats" -- margarine or processed oils of any kind are highly dangerous foods.
Here's my simple dietary fats solution:
1. Eat fats as they occur in nature, but eat at least 80% as they "actually" occur in nature -- meaning from grass-fed and free-range sources. The extra cost is worth it. It tastes better and your medical costs will well offset the few dollars more per pound you pay.
2. Cook with a combination of olive oil and coconut oil, but use both sparingly. If you are eating plenty of animal protein you do not need excessive fats... not because of 'danger' but because of needless calories. Not a good idea if you're wanting to keep your abs. But a bit of raw butter or olive oil can make bland veggies taste wonderful, so feel freee.
Also, omega 3-rich fats like olive oil and fish (and especially fish oil) help lower inflammation. That's the real culprit behind heart disease in most cases.
3. Avoid a lot of fats at night. The night-time meals should be high in lean protein (tuna, tofu, turkey breast) with very limited fats if you are wanting to really get lean. If you are just trying to shed bodyweight slowly, it's okay to have some fats at night.
Just do me a favor: If you are on the "Fats make you gain bodyfat and have heart attacks" bandwagon, jump off. We have consumed fat for countless thousands of years. Just consume it the way we always HAVE (naturally, not stuffed with hormones and cooked up in a lab) and you'll be fine.
If you want a diet-solution that actually uses dietary fats to help you take off the bodyfat, then use this one:
---> Eat Fats, Burn Bodyfat! <----
It's a real-world plan that allows you to eat your favorite foods and still shed the bodyweight you want.
And yes -- that includes fats.

Exercise And The Brain
If you ever needed another good reason to exercise, I've got one for you:
Exercise makes your brain bigger.
Actually this isn't entirely accurate. To be more specific, exercise was found to increase brain size slightly, but far more important to increase "spatial reasoning."
This is the ability to recognize patterns, remember phrases, numbers, and so-on. This was discovered by researchers at the Universities of Chicago and Pittsburgh.
It is also one of the most important factors to the prevention of Alzheimer's and dementia.
My mom suffered with dementia the last ten years of her life. But unlike most dementia patients she was fully functional thanks to exercise. She drove and had a mind that was unbelievably sharp right up until an accident injured her beyond the ability to exercise.
After that, she mentally went downhill rapidly. Thankfully, she passed in peace... and she had ten wonderfully active years thanks to her willingness to take up weight training at the age of 71.
She eventually walked up to 3 miles per day and trained in the gym 3 days per week.
That kept her mind sharp, along with fish oil and N-Acetyl L-Carnitine, a wonderful brain nutrient.
Once again, we see the power of exercise. It increases the QUALITY of your life.
Quantity is no where near as important to me as quality.
The links at the bottom of this newsletter are to my books on exercise. Pick the one that appeals to you most and take action.
Your brain will thank you, as will the rest of your body.
One of the best ways to start exercising when you are over 40 is by using the routines covered in "Fit Over 40".
This book profiles 53 different men and women, age 40 to 80, all sharing their workouts, nutrition plans, and mental empowerment techniques.
It is a MUST-HAVE for anyone wanting to begin exercising or improve their level of fitness after the age of 40.

Stay Hungry?
Got a question for you:
Should you "stay hungry"?
Let me explain what I mean.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made a movie a while time ago called "Stay Hungry." Only a handful of people saw it.
I was one of them.
I loved the idea of "staying hungry" -- of never sitting on your rear end too long... of never being totally comfortable... and of always progressing.
Think about it:
Most of your greatest progress comes at the expense of temporary comfort.
This does not mean you should torture yourself. But being 'too' comfortable? Well that's bad news when it comes to weightloss and success in general if you ask me.
Here's two examples:
First, it is now 1:02 AM Texas time. I am writing this letter to you despite being quite tired and ready to hit the sack.
Why?
Because when it comes to my job, I like to stay hungry.
I am not satisfied with a "do it tomorrow" attitude. I have something to say and I feel that I owe it to you to say it.
Plus I love my job. I know my information is more than just "books that sell well" -- I know it's information that changes peoples lives.
That makes me stay hungry.
And that's a good thing. My greatest successes have been when I've stayed hungry and lived at the edge of comfort.
But let me share my second example and see what you think.
This one deals with my upcoming book.
The book I'm talking about tonight is one that thousands have been waiting for... literally. I have a waiting list.
The title says it all:
The Radical Fatloss Blueprint: How You Can Safely Lose Up To 21 Pounds In 21 Days
Pretty bold statement, right? In fact... it's radical.
Hence the name. : )
And I have to warn you: You will stay a bit hungry. Literally.
Not 'starving'... but hungry. And that means you'll be burning a lot of bodyfat.
Now, before you think I've lost my marbles, let me explain:
This is NOT a "dietbook" -- this is a blueprint for 21 days ONLY.
It is the same exact system I personally have used for years (with the addition of one new supplement that I really like) to get into top shape.
I've used this System on quite a few eager people, and the average weightloss has been over 16 pounds. Some folks lost like 30 or more... others only 11.
Still... in 21 days, this is amazing.
Some of the weight is going to be junk out of your system that can cause illness. It can build up inside and this program helps you get rid of it painlessly.
Some of the weight is water.... but it's water that you do not need to be carrying around. Needless waterweight.
The rest is almost pure bodyfat... and that's RADICAL. To keep muscle and burn that much bodyfat is very hard to do.
Like I said... it's radical.
And it's only 21 days long.
Now, I will also tell you this -- you cannot buy this book.
Not yet.
The reason is simple: I've reserved the first few thousand copies for those of you who own by book "Every Other Day Diet."
They get it first... and since you will need a few supplements to make the plan work (I provide wholesale pricing for those as I do not make supplements) you can see why it's important to get in line if you want this book.
I'm only ordering a limited supply of the supplements that go along with the book.
And I'm just passing the savings on... I do not want to get into the "wholesale" business, but I also knew I could save you folks over 100 bucks if I did it this way.
So... here's the deal:
1. Pick up a copy of "Every Other Day Diet" now unless you already have it.
2. On or before March 15th you will receive a letter from me letting you know where to get your freee copy of "Radical Fatloss Blueprint".
3. You will also receive a link to order the supplements needed (only 21 days worth... no "reorders" needed) at wholesale price. You can have them shipped right to your door just about anywhere in the world.
No stimulants are used. Nothing dangerous. Just smart supplementation to help the body hold on to muscle, stimulate natural fat-burning hormones, and help you stay healthy and strong.
Again, this is the system I use to get in top shape.
So, step one: Get "The Every Other Day Diet" today...
Get that here:
---> Get Your Complimentary Copy of Radical Fatloss <---
After that, read the book. Be sure you have it down because you will NEED this book to follow right after Radical Fatloss is over.
The worst thing you can do is try a radical dietplan without having a SANE dietplan to fall back to.
That's what Every Other Day Diet is: A sane, real-world, eat-like-this-forever dietplan that works.
The Radical Fatloss Blueprint just kicks everything into high gear for 21 days.
So, get Every Other Day Diet here:
---> Get Your Complimentary Copy of Radical Fatloss <---
THEN go to this page and let me know what you think about the new cover for Radical Fatloss Blueprint... and the supplements I have in store for you --

Finally, get ready to stay hungry: And by that I mean to push yourself a bit more in order to become a whole lot leaner.

Gregg

Find Out If You Too Are At Risk
Want to know what your real odds are of having a heart attack?
How about a stroke? Diabetes?
Okay, this isn't sounding like a positive letter... but hang in there. It gets a lot better and more positive.
I was having lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry's upcoming book is a must-read. I will let you know when she's ready to release it.
Since Sherry has been here visiting me in Dallas I have learned SO much about natural food preparation and what really causes disease.
Our conversation took a turn to "doctor's tests." I think most of them are worthless. Some are vital.
It's important to know the difference.
I'm going to give you the three tests you absolutely must take if you want to help ensure your future health in a moment.
But first, let me give you Sherry's argument to my third test.
Yes, we nutritionists argue sometimes. ; )
I'll let you decide. But statically it's far more accurate than any blood test... and get this:
You can do it at home for freee.
So far, are you with me? Good.
I'm going to go in reverse order, third test to last...
The third test is simply this:
Measure your waistline. Use a tape measure and do not pull it tight. Measure right below the navel.
Write down that number in inches.
Then measure your height out of shoes in inches. Write that down too.
If your waist in inches is more than twice your height you are FOUR TIMES more likely to have heart disease.
Four times. That's more predictive than cholesterol tests by far.
And a lot less expensive to boot.
Don't just read about this test -- DO IT. I'll give you something you can do ABOUT it if you fail this test in a second.
The great news is that this is one factor that is totally within your control.
Test number two: Know your SED rate. This is an inflammatory marker in the blood.
Test number one: Know your hsCRP and LP(a) levels. Both of these can be done as one test usually. Both are inflammatory markers as well as key indicators of heart health.
Go to your doctor and ask for these three blood tests. Usually they can be done all at once. Sometimes they are separate, but they are all crucial.
If you are thin and look healthy, listen to this:
You too can be Lance Armstrong or Jim Fixx....and not know it.
Lance and Jim looked like two of the healthiest men on the planet. Lance beat testicular cancer but came within an inch of his life. Jim died after a short jog of a heart attack very young in life.
Looks can be deceiving.
This is Sherry's argument -- and she's totally correct.
That's why I give you THREE (well, actually four) TESTS.
You see, it's virtually impossible to have a normal SED rate, a normal hsCRP level and a normal LP(a) level and be at imminent risk for any of these killer diseases.
Possible, perhaps -- but almost not.
So, if you look healthy and feel like a bazillion bucks, you still need to know your levels of these inflammatory markers.
If you are overweight or obese, you totally absolutely MUST do the waist/height test as well as the others.
You see, it goes both ways.
Some obese folks test out okay at the doc's office. Their cholesterol, blood pressure, and all typical readings are okay. Rarely does a doc run an hsCRP or LP(a). And rarely do they run a SED rate.
See the importance here?
Both the fit and the unfit can be at dire risk and not even know it.
Now, here's the solution:
A low-inflammatory nutrition and training plan, along with plenty of stress-free time.
I can help you with the first two things.
The third thing -- de-stressing -- is up to you. You may want to spend 30 minutes a day doing yoga, walking, meditating, praying, or whatever calms your MIND and BODY down.
Check it out:
Lance and Jim were both doing insane amounts of exercise... so much that they demanded insane amounts of high-inflammatory foods. Foods like processed carbohydrates for example.
And they both got sick. One of them died.
My good friend Dr. Steven Chase believes that 85% of cancer is preventable.
Re-read that: 85%. And he's an oncologist -- a cancer doctor.
And you know heart disease is 95% preventable... or did you?
But all of these killers, especially diabetes, demand a low-insulin, low-inflammatory nutrition and exercise plan.
Lance and Jim had sky-high inflammatory levels from all that exercise. It was literally TOO much exercise.
That's why so many marathoners die of heart attacks. They eat inflammatory foods and engage in high-stress exercise for too long of a time.
So, what's the answer?
1. Short workouts that are intense, effective, and enjoyable. Weights and cardio both, or in-home resistance workouts will work fine.
2. Longer "soft" workouts like brisk walking that helps de-stress the body and burn more bodyfat.
3. A nutrition plan that allows for your favorite foods at the RIGHT TIME of the day but also helps you burn bodyfat without activating your body's stress-producing hormones like cortisol...cool.
Most nutrition plans are stressful. Big mistake. Stress can cause you to hold on to bodyfat. Plus stress causes inflammation.
Most workout plans are either too easy or too intense for too long a period of time. My System is super-short (7-14 minutes a day, plus walks when you can.) This is enough to build all the muscle you need plus burn bodyfat when combined with the nutrition plan.
My System's nutrition plan is ideal if you are willing to "diet" for a day or two, then enjoy a day of eating "normal" foods.
Hey, no one is perfect. Anyone who has half a brain should know that not very many people (myself included) are willing to do without their favorite foods forever.
That's silly -- and it's not necessary to burn bodyfat.
In fact, my System 'demands' that you eat these foods at certain times TO BURN MORE BODYFAT!
Wild, isn't it?
It's the System I've used for years.
It's the combination of two books:
7 Minute Muscle + Every Other Day Diet
Get them both for one low price...
Go here:
---> Helps You Pass the Tests <---
Any of my three Upgrade Kits come with both books, a full year of support from me on the Every Other Day Diet group Forum, and so many bonuses I can't list them all.
This combo is something I am so very proud to share with you.
It's the ultimate System for lowering bodyfat, increasing lean muscle, lowering insulin, lowering inflammation, and ensuring your health.
Whether you are in shape or obese, this System is one that will work for you.

3. A nutrition plan that allows for your favorite foods at the RIGHT TIME of the day but also helps you burn bodyfat without activating your body's stress-producing hormones like cortisol...cool.
Most nutrition plans are stressful. Big mistake. Stress can cause you to hold on to bodyfat. Plus stress causes inflammation.
Most workout plans are either too easy or too intense for too long a period of time. My System is super-short (7-14 minutes a day, plus walks when you can.) This is enough to build all the muscle you need plus burn bodyfat when combined with the nutrition plan.
My System's nutrition plan is ideal if you are willing to "diet" for a day or two, then enjoy a day of eating "normal" foods.
Hey, no one is perfect. Anyone who has half a brain should know that not very many people (myself included) are willing to do without their favorite foods forever.
That's silly -- and it's not necessary to burn bodyfat.
In fact, my System 'demands' that you eat these foods at certain times TO BURN MORE BODYFAT!
Wild, isn't it?
It's the System I've used for years.
It's the combination of two books:
7 Minute Muscle + Every Other Day Diet
Get them both for one low price...
Go here:
---> Helps You Pass the Tests <---
Any of my three Upgrade Kits come with both books, a full year of support from me on the Every Other Day Diet group Forum, and so many bonuses I can't list them all.
This combo is something I am so very proud to share with you.
It's the ultimate System for lowering bodyfat, increasing lean muscle, lowering insulin, lowering inflammation, and ensuring your health.
Whether you are in shape or obese, this System is one that will work for you.

Burn More Bodfyat With Spices
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
It's the spice of life.
Food that is. Or opinions. I guess there is a lot of things that are officially "the spice of life."
I think spices are the spice of life.
I have a new-found love of spices since hanging around a killer healthy-food chef for the past week.
Wow oh wow... I had no idea.
And hey -- I'm helping her put her recipes into to a book that will be out soon.
I'll send you all a video of this woman doing her thing too in a week or so... prepare to be blown away.
Back to spices:
Not only can spices save an otherwise boring healthy meal.... turns to find out spices can help you burn more bodyfat.
The January 2006 issue of The Journal of Physiology and Behavior cited numerous studies on several spices that increased thermogenesis in the body.
Thermogenesis is simply heat -- and since a calorie is a unit of heat, guess what?
More thermogenesis = more calories burned
=
Less bodyfat.
Pretty cool stuff this thermogenesis.
In fact thermogenesis is the foundation of my upcoming handbook "The Radical Fatloss Blueprint." Out in late February.
I'm giving this book away for freee for 21 days to anyone who owns a copy of "The Every Other Day Diet."
The book comes out in late February... and it is... well, radical.
Up to 21 pounds in 21 days.
But you can only do it for 21 days. Fair deal, right?
If you want the book for freee, make sure you have "Every Other Day Diet" so I can send it to you the last week of February.

Every Other Day Diet <--- more thermogenesis, less bodyfat
For now, here's the spices that work the best to help you burn bodyfat:
1. Capsaicin, the compound gives red chili pepper its heat, increased energy via heat expenditure by up to 23% after ingesting it at breakfast.
2. Black Pepper increases body heat (thermogenesis) by bonding to TRPV1 receptors in the brain.
3. Turmeric has both anti-cancer and pro-thermogenic support. Best of two worlds if you ask me.
Combine these three spices: Red chili pepper, black pepper and turmeric, and use them liberally (as you can handle them) on your lunch and dinner meals.
Just be careful not to overdo the spices, otherwise you'll end up with more heartburn than fatburn.
I'll be including FAR more powerful ways to burn bodyfat radically in "The Radical Fatloss Blueprint" -- and you can get your copy free the last week of February if you own Every Other Day Diet.
