When I wrote “7 Minute Muscle” and “7 Minute Body” (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought I was doing the muscle-mass crowd a huge favor.

I was right… and I was wrong.

I was right because the 7MM-style training has put serious muscle shape, tone, and size on people from all ages.

I was WRONG because it did more than just add lean muscle:

THIS makes people THINNER…

The short version of the science behind why this happens and a sample workout routine is included in today’s newsletter. (more…)

If you’re having trouble shedding those extra pounds, I’ve put together a few tips that will help you to achieve your natural weight loss goals.

1.  Always stop and think before you eat.  Ask yourself “Am I really hungry?”

 2.  Don’t skip meals.  If you do, you will lose weight to start with, but then your body will start storing calories in case it gets starved again, so       you will not lose any weight, you might even gain some.

 3.  Remember – sugar-free does not mean calorie-free.  The food may be laden with extra substances to make it taste better.  Always check labels. (more…)

I took a big, huge, massive sigh of relief today.

Finally… the FDA did something right when it comes to bogus “magic” diet-fatburn pills.

Heart Attacks
Stroke
Increased Risk of Suicide (yikes!)
Memory/Concentration Loss

You know… “minor” stuff like that.

GEEZ. What the hell are these drug companies thinking?

Oh, right…

Quick-Fix =
Big-Bucks

Got it.

So, I am going to believe that YOU are much smarter than the morons who tried to get this drug past the FDA. (more…)

First, you need to know this…

And this will probably shock you…

Rarely, if EVER, do you need to suppress your appetite! (more…)

(This article was written by guest writer Mike.  I have included it because I think he has a good message to get across and he makes some good points.  I don’t normally endorse supplements within my sensible slimming advice, but understand that they have a place for many people who are really struggling to lose weight.)

If you too grew up as a child in an environment where meal times were always busy and upsetting, then this sense of stress may still be impacting on your eating habits and weight loss today.
