Lose Weight By Eating Chocolate

By

There's a secret I haven't told. I eat chocolate. As a matter of fact, I ate chocolate almost every day of my Fat X project. That's right, for 12 days, during the original Fat X project experiment, I ate a piece of chocolate and I lost weight. More importantly, I lost fat and became a lot more toned. How could this be? How can eating chocolate help you lose weight?


There's a couple of reasons why chocolate helped me lose fat weight during the original Fat X project. One, it helped me not obsess over junk food and sweets because I knew I would get some. When putting together the specifications of the Fat X diet, one statement kept bouncing around in my head " if you repress, you obsess". This is why in the Fat X diet there's a five percent allotment for "splurge food".


The second reason why I believe chocolate helped me lose fat weight and get more toned during the original Fat X project is because of the health benefits of chocolate. One of those benefits is that chocolate is high in anti-oxidants. Another health benefit is that it contains theobromine and phenethylamine, alkaloids which have been linked to boosting serotonin levels in the brain. You might be asking: "Why should I care about serotonin levels in my brain, I just want to lose some weight". That's a good question. For the answer, check in on part 2 where I'll discuss how serotonin will help you lose weight and what kind of chocolate you should eat to boost serotonin levels.

(Some fitness companies are not going to be happy with me.)

Advanced Tip for Better Workouts and Improved Results

Have you ever had a peanut butter and garlic sandwich?   Yeah, me neither! Peanut butter is delicious and so is garlic (used properly). But, while each is a good ingredient on its own, together they make for a disaster. You can view exercises and how they are implemented in a workout in the same way.  Think of exercises as ingredients. Exercises  can work well together like peanut butter and jelly, or, they can suck and waste your time and energy.   There’s a very important concept I learned many years ago that can improve your results, not only in fitness and any fitness goal such as fat loss, increasing strength, speed etc., but also in such things as cooking, music, art and many other realms of life.   What’s that concept?

Fat Burning Workout Program Day 3

By
This is one of my favorite fat burning workouts. It includes some of my favorite exercises. Don't let the pull ups intimidate you. You can use a pull down machine, or those rubber tubing exercise bands instead.   Included in this fat burning workout is one of the best, if not the best total abs exercise. It really works the abs hard and my clients usually have a love hate relationship with it. I call it the spin crunch, you'll see it towards the end of the free fat burning workout video..
