Lose Weight By Eating Chocolate Part 2

By

In part 1 I mentioned that I had a secret, I ate chocolate every day of my Fat X Project. I also mentioned why I believe it helped me lose fat weight and that one of these reasons was that chocolate elevates serotonin levels in the brain. Before you go out and load up on Snicker, Hershey and Twix bars, let me explain what type of chocolate I'm referring to and also a little more on serotonin and how it can help with weight loss and fat burning.

The type of chocolate that's found in common candy bars is referred to as milk chocolate. This is not the type of chocolate that will boost your serotonin levels and help with weight loss. The type of chocolate I'm talking about is referred to as dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is considered chocolate that contains 65% cacao or more. The more cacao it has, the more bitter it tastes, but also the more helpful it is in weight loss and fat burning.

So how does dark chocolate help with weight loss and fat burning? Here's were serotonin comes into play. Dark chocolate has been shown to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin has various functions, but what is of interest to those that want to lose weight, or burn fat, is that it controls appetite, mood, and anger. BINGO!

Now this doesn't mean you should go eat two or three bars of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is still high in calories so you do have to moderate intake. When I did the original Fat X Project I had a a couple of pieces throughout the day and I do believe it helped with cravings for other types of junk food. Maybe it's just me, but it does make sense. Give it a try and see if it helps you.

When it comes to workout routines, there are plenty of them.  You can find them both offline and online.  With so many of them out there, it's hard to choose.  It becomes even more difficult to choose a workout routine because of the slick marketing and the continuous perpetuation of myths and misconceptions by the fitness industry which tends to place profit over truth.  In this post, I will help show you how to separate the good workout routines from the bad and why ROI is important. (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 X Fat Burning Diet Plan

The fat burning Fat X Diet plan is critical if you want to maximize fat loss while getting through my 12 Day Fat X Program.   The average person I've personally put through the program has lost 10 lbs and 2 inches around their waist.  It is extremely important to stick to the food percentage guidelines as closely as possible to burn fat optimally.   While most diet plans are extremely difficult to stick to, the Fat X Diet is not, because in all actuality, the fat burning Fat X Diet is actually more of a philosophy than the traditional sense of the term "diet".   The Fat X Diet concept helps prioritize what you eat, so that you can simplify the topic of dieting and get better and longer lasting fat burning (fat loss) results.  This really works! And, it's something you can stick to long term.   Like a fine suit, the fat burning Fat X Diet can, and should be tailored to fit you and your lifestyle.  The food percentage guidelines and philosophy behind the diet
