I had over nearly 400 applications for my new 30lbs in 30 days program which started Monday.
I could only choose 29.
They're doing amazingly well already with inches dropping like crazy and some people over 6lbs down already.
Since monday!
Not bad huh?
But it's gotten me thinking about all those people I didn't choose. Nearly 400 of them who badly wanted in on the program but didn't get a place. And it made me think about how I should help them a little more.
So here goes!
I want to know what your number one fat loss question is. I'm going to answer it for you so that you're able to start getting great results just like my 30 in 30 group.
In fact, I promise you that I'm going to answer ALL of the questions you send me.
ALL of them, even if there are hundreds.
So now there's no excuse.
No reason not to get your results.
Just send me your question in the comment section below and i'll get to answering it.
Do it now! : )

Here's how To Lose 4lbs In 24hours Without Counting Calories, Popping Pills Or.... Being Stupid!

Man... this has been TOUGH!
So many great people wanting to join the program but limited places and yes, they've all been filled.
Sorry!
I know there'll be a lot of disappointed people reading this but I have to give my all to the group going through right now...
And BOY are they going through!
We're ONE DAY into the trial and already they're getting results.
I kid you not.
On average they've 2lb since starting the program yesterday with Liz Roddis hitting a 4lb weightloss already.
But it's not just the weight.
Already the inches are falling away. Sarah has lost 1.5 inches from her waist already, Natasha has lost a combine 1.75 inches and others are reporting similar.
Remember, this is WITHOUT calorie counting, without supplements and without going hungry. There are no pills, powders or skinny shakes and they're all allowed to eat freely.
They've only done about 1 hour of exercise too.
Now sure, I'm not going to pretend that people have lost 4lbs of fat. They haven't. There's fat in there for sure, but what they're already experiencing is the effect of giving up 'bloat' water from their bodies due to the elimination diet and the heightened metabolism from my 'sneaky' metabolic triggering techniques.
We've a long way to go for sure, but I'd say that these guys are doing pretty well for 1 day wouldn't you?
I'll be posting updates here throughout the trial and, of course, telling YOU how you can increase the speed of your own results, but if you want to hear 'from the horses mouth' from these guys and ask them questions or just give 'em a little support.
I want you to see that this is real and not just some figment of Dax Moy's marketing imagination : )

It's FREE and you'll get TONS of great results and you can get support from all the great people in my community at www.daxmoy.ning.com
If you were going to do 30 in 30 anyway, why not do the diet component? There's a bunch of great exercise tips in my community too...
See you there!

30lbs in 30 days Guninea Pigs Now Chosen!
Yep, seriously, it's been nailbiting stuff deciding the final 'contestants' of my 30-in-30 fatloss program.
It's been hard, I can tell you.
MUCH harder than I ever thought it would be!
See, I thought I'd invite my readers to try out for a place and that I'd get 20-30 people serious enough to give the program a good go but instead I got...
...386!
(I dealt with more emails and blog posts than this but many were double or triple applications)
And I've actually reviewed each and every one of them myself.
I made a first cut, second cut, third cut and so on until I got down to those that I felt most able to give the program a good run and who were likely to get the best results from it.
Of course, along the way that's meant cutting out a lot of great people who really did deserve a place on the program and I genuinely feel a little sad tonight thinking about all the people I had to cut.
If you're one of them and you won't be joining me on the program this time around, I'm sorry. It's nothing personal. I just had to go with my heart on this...
Anyway, I guess you just want to know if you're in or out, right?
Well, here goes!
Those who will be working with me at my London studios are (drumroll please)...

Natasha Broke
Alison Louise Leask
Joe Strydom
Rob Fitzgerald
'Divine Angel'
Jin Sandhu
'China Blue'
'Belinda'
Yes, that's EIGHT People instead of six. I extended it... but still had to say no to 30 other people that wanted to come to my Islington centre.
For my 'international' component the following people will be starting with me on Monday:
Margot Faircloth
ShirleyAnn
'Honeybee'
Marilyn
'Carpediem'
Catherine
Jazia
Angela W
'2 DOGS'
Amy Jo
Bradford
'Britgirl'
'One Middle Aged Woman'
'Chocolatebutton'
Amanda
Joan Bliefernicht
Cyn
Andrew Johnston
Pastor Greg UMC
'Smoochysteph'
'Monkeydogoohoohaahaah'
As you can see, I've broken my rule again and instead of 12 I've invited 21 people (I'm too soft, I know but...)
As you can also see, my 'accidentally on purpose' mistake of not asking you all to leave your full names means that I only have the blog names for some of you : )
So look, if you were named, you need to send me an email to my studios at daxmoypts{at}aol.com with the subject line IN FULL CAPS: I'VE BEEN CHOSEN FOR DAX'S 30-IN-30 PROGRAM! (This is important as my inbox is rammed full of mail right now) and I'll get you signed up and tell you what the next step is.
It's going to be a great 30 days but I promise you, I have high expectations of all my participants and won't be letting any of you off the hook if you drop the ball... I'm going back to my drill-instructor mode on this one. I have to or you won't accomplish the 30lbs.
If you weren't selected...
I apologise.
I really do.
I want to help as many people as possible but I don't want to make the program less effective by trying to help more people than I can possibly manage by myself.
That said, I still think that I and my team can really help you.
I'd like to recommend that you join my community at http://www.daxmoy.ning.com if you haven't already, download my free elimination diet and support each other as you go through it together.
In my community you'll find HUNDREDS of posts that'll help you achieve amazing things in a very short period of time and, of course, I and my team will be there too to make your journey a little easier.
Whatever you do, I genuinely wish you well.
I also just want to thank you once more for trusting me with this goal. I know it took a lot for many of you to post here and I appreciate the trust given here over the last few days. I won't forget it. i promise.
Truth, joy and love

30lb in 30 days... Still Want In?
Wow!
I DEFINITELY wasn't expecting that!
Nearly 200 people have applied for one of the 18 places I have available on the 'Lose 30lbs In 30 Days Challenge' that's starting Monday and I have to pick them from some really, really great applications.
It's gonna be hard : )
In fact, it may be a little TOO hard.
So...
Instead of trying to 'sell' you all into getting onto the program I'm going to do something completely different.
I'm going to see if I can put you OFF!
You see, I reckon that the idea of 30lbs in 30 days sounds pretty cool to many of you and I'm sure that you'd love to see the end result in the mirror after a month of following my exercise, nutrition and lifestyle strategies but I wonder if you're ready, REALLY ready, to put forward the effort required to reach this amazing goal.
Let's see shall we?
==> Are you ready, willing and able to give up COMPLETELY all wheat, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, sugar and processed foods for the duration of the program?
==> Are you ready, willing and able to exercise 7 days a week for around 1 hour with no excuses about work, kids, 'feeling tired' or anything else?
==> Are you ready, willing and able to train HARD and put forth 100% effort in each of your workouts to bring about the best possible response to training?
==> Are you ready, willing and able to utilise safe nutritional methods like carb cycling, intermittent fasting and more to bring about a rapid reduction in fat and overall weight?
==> Are you ready, willing and able to follow lifestyle guidance regarding sleep patterns, stress reduction and hydration?
==> Are you ready, willing and able to COMPLETE the 30 day program with no excuses for dropping out?
If you answered yes to ALL of the above questions then go ahead and put your name in the box below and you'll be shortlisted and notified about my selection at midnight tonight.
If not, if you realise it's just not for you then hey, thanks for reading : )
You need to get a move on though, I've a lot of names to get through and not much time to do it so put your details in the box and we'll be ready to go!

Human Fat Loss Guinea Pigs Wanted! Lose 30lbs In 30 Days
Yeah, I know the term 'guinea-pig' isn't too flattering but hey, you know what I mean, right?
Here's the deal!
I'm just putting the finishing touches on a special new fat loss program that I've been working hard behind the scenes to create for a while now.
The program is aimed at RAPID fat loss and will involve 30 days of intensive exercise, nutrition and lifestyle coaching where I'll be taking my chosen subjects through step-by-step 'how to' processes that will literally convert them into fat-burning furnaces of the most amazing kind.
If that's just set your hype alarms off then chill...
I'm not SELLING anything... yet! : )
I'm looking for 2 sets of guinea pigs to go through the program for FREE as my... guests (you won't feel like a guest when you go through it).
One set of 12 people will be chosen for my online group and a set of 6 will be chosen to work with myself and my team at my Islington, London studios
The chosen few in each group will be told absolutely everything they need to know to accomplish... wait for it...
...30lbs In 30 Days!
Now, before you start telling me that it can't be done or it's 'unsafe', let me tell you that it CAN be done (I've helped numerous people achieve this over the years) and it IS safe (rapid weight loss is fine as long as macro and micronutrient levels are maintained at a level that supports health and that no dehydration methods are employed in order to achieve the loss).
And look, I'm not some exercise and nutrition extremist anyway, my approach is based upon healthy practices and, whilst aspects of the program will be intense, they're not going to ask people do starve themselves (or even count calories) and they won't require marathon training sessions of any kind (1 hour a day is hardly 'extreme', is it?)
So here's what I'm looking for...
==> I'm looking for men and women who are SERIOUS, as in 100% absolutely, definitely, without a doubt committed to losing 30lbs in the next 30 days
==> I'm looking for people who will start the program, follow ALL advice exactly as given FINISH the program to completion rather than doing it 'kinda, sorta, maybe' and then dropping out before it's over.
==> I'm looking for people that are ready, willing and able to blog their daily journey with me (including before, during and after pictures) and who will allow me permission to use their testimonials and pictures in future promotional material related to the program
==> I'm looking for people who are sick and tired of the way they look and feel and are in that 'place' where this is a must for them.
==> I'm looking for people who have access to resistance equipment or a gym, or who are prepared to purchase it by Sunday 21st June when the program starts.
If you're one of these people then you MAY qualify for one of my 12 online places.
In addition, if you want to work with me and my team in Islington, London then you need to be willing to do the following:
==> Attend AT LEAST 4 training sessions a week in Islington and carry out 'homework' as directed on the other days.
That's it!
Pretty simple, right?
Or, at least, it's simple if you're a seriously committed individual who absolutely, definitely want to achieve this in 30 days.
If it all sounds too much for you then you don't really need to read on, the program clearly isn't for you.
"Why's Dax Doing this?"
It should be obvious, but in the interests of transparency I'll spell it out.
I'm looking for walking, talking advertisements for the power and effectiveness of this new program and I'm willing to forgo payment to get them.
The way I figure it is this; people are sceptical. They don't really believe that results like this are possible so, if I were to just start selling the program on a website today, even though it works, I'd probably sell a handful only, as people wouldn't believe it was possible.
However...
At the end of this 30 day program I'm going to have 18 people demonstrating the absolute proof of my claims to anyone who'll listen. And it'll be in 'real time' too. None of those photoshopped before and after pictures that show miracle transformations (including fake tan and sucking tummies in).
Once my readers see the results for themselves I'll have no problem whatsoever selling the program. I guarantee it.
So THAT's my reason. It's up front for everyone to see. Nothing hidden.
Still Interested?
If you're still interested, here's what you need to do...
Use the comments section of this blog to tell my why YOU should be given one of these valuable places (They ARE valuable too. Working 1:1 with my costs £150 an hour!).
Go ahead and 'sell' yourself into the program by telling me absolutely anything and everything you think I need to know in order to make up my mind abut giving you a place.
My team and I will personally choose the 18 lucky winners.
I'll be announcing the chosen places at midnight on Thursday, so there's no time to hang about.
If you want in and you're SERIOUS (Did I mention that already?) then leave your message in the comments area below.
Speak soon!

Two EXTREME Diets... Which Would YOU Choose?
I'm just writing a bunch of new nutrition articles for my blog and newsletter where I'm comparing the various approaches that people use to reduce fat fast.
Believe me, I've looked at TONS of different eating plans and philosophies over the years and have a really good idea about why people eat the way they do but I'm still a little puzzled by the way many people think on the subject.
So I decided to do a little test : )
I've found 2 examples of diets that, by most people's standards are pretty extreme.
One involves fasting several times a week and promises rapid fat loss for those who follow this approach. It's got scores of scientific evidence and success testimonials supporting it.
The other involves using 'strategic cheating' where you're allowed to eat pizza, pasta, and coke and yet still drop fat. This one too, has tons of success stories that back up the authors claims. (Seems a bit far fetched to me and is about as far from the Elimination Diet program I run as can possibly be)
So here's the thing...
I'm interested in finding out how people feel about diets. What they most believe will work... and why!
Just check out these 2 diets and then leave a message in the comments area below and tell me what you think of these diets which sit at the opposite ends of a very wide spectrum.
I'd love to know (and I think it'll be a great topic for a 'big' article)
Can you help?
Go check 'em out right away!
Dax Moy
P.S - Which diet makes the most sense to you?
P.P.S - Time to plug my own diet : )
A little while ago I did an interview with Kettlebell Fatloss Expert Troy Anderson on how and why the elimination diet works. Troy asked a bunch of great questions so I asked if he'd let me give my own readers a copy and he agreed.
Here it is!

3 Foods You Should NEVER Eat!
*******************************************************************
Thanks to my buddy Craig Ballantyne over at Turbulence Training who's email newsletter this afternoon prompted me to write this article.
*******************************************************************
It's a hard thing to say NEVER about anything.
Never is a long time.
Never is... EVER, right?
So, given that I'm not an extremist, I guess I should retitle this to ' 3 Foods You Should Never Eat If You're Serious About Losing Fat And Getting Into Great Shape'
Fair enough?
So, what are they?
What are these foods that are likely to cost you the look and feel of the body you want?
Let's see...
No.1 - Wheat

For several reasons, wheat has an amazing ability to keep you from looking and feeling great due to the fact that, in its processed form, ground wheat flour practically becomes sugar, pure high glycemic carbohydrate that'll whack your insulin sky high and command your cells to store fat.
If that wasn't bad enough, many people are intolerant to processed wheat flour meaning that they suffer gastro-intestinal problems that can interfere with the digestion of other foods. This intolerance often leads to the storage of a huge amount of extra water into the system as the body tries to 'dilute' the effect of the wheat.
For this reason, skip wheat in all its forms while you're trying to get into great shape and only add it back in small amounts to monitor its effect on your body.
No.2 - Pasteurised/Homogenised Milk Products

Can milk really be that bad?
After all, most of us grew up on milk when we were younger and it didn't do us any harm... did it?
Well, that's a moot point as we can't turn back the clock and see what it was doing to you but the truth is, the milk we get in the stores today is far, far inferior to the stuff we used to drink when we were kids (especially when you're 38 like me!).
Back then you'd get thick, creamy milk with that glop of cream that clogged the mouth of the bottle when you first bought it. Not so today. Homogenisation means that the fat in the milk is now broken down into tiny molecules that hang suspended throughout the milk rather than floating to the top.
This is not done for the benefit of the drinker, rather it's done to extend the 'shelf life' of the milk out to as much as 11 days. Trouble is these micro-molecules of fat are largely undigestible and may even be harmful due to the fact that increases levels of Xanthine Oxydase in the bloodstream which is closely linked with heart disease.
Pasteurisation's not too good either.
First of all, the flash heating of the milk kills of the very enzymes that could help us to digest the milk in the first place, leaving our own stomaches to work overtime in the digestion process. Then, consider that the calcium is rendered indigestible by the process, the vitamin A is wiped out and the B and C vitamins are reduced by half (or more) and you realise that you're drinking calories with very few nutrients.
Why bother?
No.3 - Caffeine

Caffeine is the world's most widely drug.
And it IS a drug!
(I should know, I can, at times, be the world's biggest addict!)
Sure, we drink it socially, we relax to it (or think we are) and we tend to see it as pretty harmless. Because of this we drink bloody gallons of the stuff!
In fact, whilst the average consumption of caffeine worldwide is around 76mg, the US, Canada and UK are far closer on average to 300mg with Finland and Sweden approaching 400mg.
What's the problem with this?
Well, excessive caffeine consumption can and does lead to either chronic stress or adrenal fatigue which, among other things is often accompanied by malabsorption and maldigestion of nutrients, weakness, breakdown of muscle tissue, increased abdominal fat, blood sugar disturbances and more.
Also, it's PROVEN that caffeine adversely affects sleep which is vital component of any fat loss or muscle building program.
Still want that cup of coffee or tea?
Look, I'm not saying that you're never going to have a spaghetti, a glass of milk or a cup of coffee ever again. I like all of those things myself from time to time. But the truth is, when taken regularly, when consumed in large amounts or as the staple of your diet they're all bad stuff.
When taken during your attempts to shift bodyfat fast, they're worse!
Sure, there's a lot of conflicting information out there about these things. One 'expert' tell you to avoid them, one say you can have a little and yet another tells you that you can eat freely of them all.
Who's right?
Well, given that over 38,000 people have downloaded and used my FREE Elimination Diet to amazing effect, losing on average 15-25lbs in 30 days, I'll freely admit to you that I'm biased in my answer. I've seen these principles bring about changes like nothing else, and all without counting calories or weighing foods.
Sure, we all want to believe that 'cheat' diets that allow pizza, potato chips, donuts and coke will be ok, but we know that's not true don't we?
Just look around at all the people you know who are eating that stuff and decide for yourself whether that route is the right one or not.
I'll be back tomorrow with another 3 foods you should never eat but until then, pop on over to My FREE Elimination Diet and grab a copy for yourself. You don't HAVE to do it, just grab it check it out.
You'll soon realise why the only real way to 'lean up' and drop body fat is to clean-up.
Seeya tomorrow!

Your 15 Minute Beach Body Rescue Plan

Can you believe it? May is almost upon us already!
If you're like most people you're probably already picking out your holiday clothes and thinking ahead to when you can finally hit the beach, soak up some sun and get some well earned R and R.
But then it hits you. Sun, sea and sand all equal skimpy clothes and to make the most of those you've gotta have a body to go with them!
PANIC!!
Baring our all on holiday is often a terrifying prospect for many of us. If you feel self-conscious about your hip, thighs, stomach or indeed anywhere then it's likely that your holiday will be spent in a mild (sometimes not-so-mild) state of paranoia that can actually detract from your enjoyment of your time away from work. Instead of relaxing and enjoying your freedom you're doing the 'does my bum look big in this?' bit.
Does this sound familiar to you? If it does, you're not alone. But what can you do about it?
Well, there are plenty of things that you can do if you're willing to put forth a little effort over the coming weeks. No, strike that. You'll have to put forward A LOT of effort if you're going to pull this off in time.
[Hey, don't blame me! It's not my fault that you've overeaten and sat on your bum all winter!]
First of all, I want you to take out your diary. Starting TODAY I want you to find at least 15 minutes EACH DAY where you'll be able to carry out your conditioning program. Actually make the effort to put this time into the diary just like you would for any other appointment. In fact, this is more important than any other appointment because it's with yourself.
If you have a mobile phone with a reminder on it then programme your appointment there too. In fact, write this appointment down in as many places as you can so that you can't accidentally-on-purpose forget to exercise.
I think you get the idea by now. We're placing MASSIVE priority and importance upon these appointments. If we don't, they simply won't happen!
I can hear some of you saying 'but I really don't have the time to do this everyday!' To that I say 'Rubbish'. If you can't even find 15 minutes then you're simply not trying! 15 minutes is the MINIMUM amount that you'll need. Ideally it'll be twice this amount.
Next, go to your food cupboard and get rid of all of the processed food that you've been storing up. If it's got an 'E' or a number in the ingredients list it's outta there. (As an Elimination Diet subscriber you should already be most of the way there, right?)
From now until your hols you'll be consuming only 'real' food. Any meat or fish you want, any veg or any fruits you fancy as long as they aren't preserved in any way.
Why?
The preserving processes that are used on foods make them 'anti-nutrients' with many of them having similar properties to modern plastics. These foods wreak havoc on the digestive and immune systems and can lead to overeating and increased fat storage.
Cleaning up your diet, even without restricting your calorie intake is a fantastic way to change your appearance. After all, we've all heard the old adage 'you are what you eat' haven't we?
And now for the actual workout.
I know what you're thinking. 'How can I possibly make a difference in just 15 minutes a day?'.
Sounds a bit like one of those dodgy infomercial promises doesn't it? Well sure, if I were promising results without effort but that's not the case here. In fact, you're going to have to put forward LOTS of effort to make this work. We're talking consistency AND intensity here, which is normally what's missing in most people's programs.
[Note: I'm assuming that there are no orthopedic or medical problems present. If there are then you should consult your primary health care provider or a certified personal trainer before commencing the program]
Day One
Warm up with some brisk walking, stair climbing or skipping for about 3 min. Perform the following circuit for 30 seconds of each exercise with 30 seconds rest:
1. Squats
2. Shoulder Presses
3. Abdominal Curls
4. Lunges
5. Pushups (or kneeling variation)
6. Dumbell Rows
Repeat the circuit twice.
Now, be sure to build up to this, so don't go all out for the first couple of workouts. However, intensity is important so as soon as you feel able you should really start putting forward as much effort as you can into each 30 seconds.
At the end of the circuits, stretch out each muscle for about 30 seconds.
Day two
This is your CV day. Choose any two or three activities from the list below and perform 3 minute 'bursts' of high effort. Rest for a minute or two in between and then move onto the next activity.
Power Walking
Running
Sprints
Stair Climbing
Cycling
Skipping
Martial arts punch and kick combination s
Rowing
Or any other CV activity that you may enjoy.
Simply alternate these two days between now and your holiday. If you feel that you may be over training or not recovering then add a third day where you simply stretch out your tight or sore muscles to aid their recovery.
You may be thinking that this approach sounds too simple to yield any significant results but you'd be wrong. In fact, simplicity is the main reason that this approach works. And it really does work!
Give the program a fair try and dedicate 15 minutes a day to these exercises and I guarantee you'll be in far better shape for your holiday than you are right now. The alternative of course, is to do nothing, hope for the best and spend your holiday worried about your wobbly bits.
The choice is yours and only you can make a difference so start now. Today!
See you on the beach!

P.S - If you need a bit more help with losing the fat even faster, I highly recommend my friend Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat diet in conjunction with The Elimination Diet. I've NEVER seen anything work like this combination for rapid fat loss!

The 5 Reasons You're Still Struggling With Your Fat Loss

You know what it's like.
You've tried everything in your power to finally shift that weight that's been hanging on for so long and yet, despite your best efforts (or so you believe) you're still far from the condition you're hoping to achieve and you're baffled.
What's wrong?
Why can't you shift that fat?
From my experience it comes down to one of these 5 things.
1. You're Cheating!
No getting away from this one. We've all done it.
You say you're going to commit 100% to your fat loss goal but then, as soon as you're within sniffing distance of your favourite foods you tell yourself 'just one won't hurt' and before you know it, you're chomping away on the very thing that contributed to your fat gain in the first place.
Here's the deal.
You're an addict.
'Just one' WILL hurt!
Like all addicts you need to go cold turkey to break the cycle of dependence. No ifs, not buts.
The thing is, cheating on your diet accomplishes nothing. it keeps things exactly how they are. It keeps YOU exactly how YOU are!
Don't cheat!
2. You've Lost Your Why
I can't remember who first said it but the quote goes 'those that have a strong enough why will overcome almost any how'. This means, of course, if you have a good enough reason for doing what you need to do, you'll find the way to to do it, even if it's hard.
The flip side of this should be obvious.
If you're not clear on why you're doing what you're doing then practically anything you need to do to accomplish your goal will appear difficult, if not impossible.
You'll experience everything as obstacles rather than opportunities and feel that you're more likely to fail than succeed.
That's not a great foundation to build your goals upon is it?
Identify your why.
Be honest with yourself, why do you want to lose that fat? Yes, to look good in your bikini, we know that but what else? What's the REAL reason? Dig deep and find the real why and you'll increase your likelihood to achieve it a hundredfold.
3. You don't know what you want
Sure, you've set a goal to 'lose weight' or 'get fit' or 'tone up' but you've never absolutely, positively set a specific target.
There's a big difference between a weight loss goal like the ones above and 'I'm going to lose 50lbs by June 1st 2009' isn't there?
See, the thing is, you can't hit a target you can't see. So be specific. Set a big, obvious, prominent target with a specific timeline and commit to THAT timeline rather than being vague about 'losing some weight'.
What goal are YOU aiming at?
This is critical to know. Ignore it at your peril!
4. You're Trying to do it alone
You're not an expert on fatloss. if you were, you wouldn't be trying to lose fat, right? : )
So why are you trying to do this alone or with limited knowledge on losing fat?
Stop it now!
If you didn't know about your car engine, I'm sure you wouldn't attempt to strip down the engine block on your own right? You'd get a mechanic to do the job.
Your body is far more important than your car so stop tinkering with and and guessing and hoping that what you're doing is going to work.
Instead, seek out fat loss experts who'll give you the PROVEN dietary and exercise guidance that they use to get results for their clients, follow their advice and get those results for yourself. Hardly rocket science, but the number of people actually doing this are few and far between. And funnily enough, practically all of them have great physiques!
Take a look at some of these results HERE for women and HERE for men and you'll see what a difference it makes to get professional advice.
5. You're Trying to do it alone part 2
Once you've gotten your professionally designed program, you're not cheating, you know your why and you have a laser like focus on the specific goals you want to achieve then make sure you find and join a support group to keep your motivation high. This is not just a suggestion, it's a necessity!
You see, those who are attempting massive changes in their health, fitness and appearance often undergo massive swings in motivation with huge highs and dramatic lows. It's during the lows that self-doubt and the feelings to quit come into play and, before you know it you've cheated, told yourself you'll never succeed and quit the program that you started out on with such high hopes.
Having support means that this won't happen.
Sure, you'll still get the swings, the highs, the lows but you'll be talking to people that are going through the same as you, experiencing the same problems and feelings and who know what you're going through. They'll drag you back up when you're flagging and you can return the favour when they need it.
This is win-win and is responsible for more people achieving their health and fitness goals than practically any other reason.
Get support and you're most of the way there, do it alone and the goal feels miles off.
There you have, the top 5 reasons why your fat loss goals fail.
And also the prescription you need to make sure they never fail again, right?
Apply all 5 steps and your fat loss is guaranteed!

No B.S Advice To Get The Most Out Of Your Elimination Diet
I get a lot of emails from people asking me what they need to do to get the most from the 30 day elimination diet program.
A lot!
It seems that people are always looking for 'tweaks' to jazz up the program or, more commonly, acceptable alternatives (read cheats) that they can employ to make the program better fit their 'lifestyle' as they put it.
So look, here's my feedback to you all.
You might not like all that you hear but nonetheless it's true with no B.S involved, meaning that you'll get better results faster.
Time for some straight-talk.
Sound good to you?
1. Just Follow the Diet... To the Letter!

Very few people write me to say that they got disappointing results from the diet, but those that do are always, ALWAYS those who try to get cute with the diet and change it in some way.
Leave it alone.
It works.
Just follow it for 30 days, keep all the banned foods from your diet for the entire time and Bob's your uncle, results guaranteed!
Mess with it, change it and convince yourself that 'a little change here and there won't hurt' and you're no longer following the protocol. If you're no longer following the protocol you're no longer guaranteed results.
You need to ask yourself this simple question.
'Do I want results or do I want to do things my way?'
No offence intended to anyone here but if you're downloading a dietary system off the web, you're probably not happy with one or more aspects of your health, fitness or physique, all of which you've had 100% control over developing up to this point... and failed. Or at least, haven't achieved what you want to achieve in these areas.
So your way's not working.
Yet I know for a fact that my way does. EVERY TIME!
Look, the elimination diet is just 30 days long, it'll give you great results IF YOU DON'T MESS WITH IT.
So don't mess with it ok?
Read the manual. Follow the manual. Take nothing away. Add nothing. Change nothing. Results guaranteed.
Couldn't be simpler : )
Get Active
The elimination diet is powerful in and of itself even without exercise. On average, the 38,000 people that have been through the program so far have lost between 15 and 20lbs in the 30 days.
Many have lost more.
MUCH more.
But those who go on to break double-digits in fat loss have nearly always added exercise to their programs and so should you if you want to make the most of your time on the program.
The best program is one that includes resistance training in a 'circuit training' style or supersets. The one i recommend most is from my good buddy Craig Ballantyne at Turbulence Training. The program is a great accompaniment to the Elimination Diet and will speed up your fat loss better than practically everything else I've come across.

That said, you don't HAVE TO have a professionally designed program. Just getting more active on a daily basis will help. Committing to a bodyweight or freeweight routine 3 times a week will really tip the balance in favor of fatloss and changing your body shape fast.
Whatever you do though, do SOMETHING!
Don't just sit on your butt HOPING that you'll change your body shape. That's what you've been doing up til now and it hasn't worked so why would it suddenly start working now?
Guarantee your results by being proACTIVE and committing to making it happen and it will. Sit on your butt and nothing happens. Your choice.
Stop Blaming Willpower. You Don't Need It!
There may be times during the elimination diet when you find yourself in social situations where following the diet will be hard. Your willpower will be tested.
Deal with it.
I know that sounds uncaring but it really isn't.
I mean, plan ahead and actually deal with it.
Bring suitable foods or snacks of your own, phone ahead to find out what the menu is in advance so that you can plan or simply don't go. Just don't whine and complain that there's nothing you can do about it. There is. No-one can MAKE you eat and drink the foods that are banned on the diet.
You choose to.
Admit it and you're immediately empowered.
Deny it and you put all the problems related to your health, fitness and physique 'out there' by saying that you don't play a part in creating the body you wear.
Plan and create your menu in advance or choose not to go. You don't have to slip up. You choose to...
...or not!
Don't Quit
Stay with the diet.
It's only 30 days.
The results are guaranteed.
It's free.
All the information and resources required to make the changes you claim you want are right here, right now and free.
What more do you want?
You need to make a true decision and commitment to finishing the 30 days and on no account even entertain the idea that you won't finish it. The word decision mean 'to cut off from all other possibilities'. Have you?
Don't look for a get out of jail free card.
There isn't one.

If you don't commit to the program then you won't get the results you want. In effect, you're back in jail. Trapped in the body you no longer want.
The only breakout comes from finishing what you start.
So finish!
It Ain't So Hard!
Look, the truth is that whilst the elimination diet may be challenging to some at first, it's not really that hard. You're being asked to kick out the foods that have built the body you're wearing. The body you no longer want.
You say you want better so make it happen.
And it's 30 days.
Just 30 days.
And they're going to pass anyway, regardless of whether you do the program right or not, right?
Just like the last 30 and the 30 before that and the 30 before that.
Time passes, that's inevitable.
You can't do anything about it.
But what you can choose, what you have 100% control over, is what you spend that time on.
So spend it well and commit.
Your results are waiting!
Get to it : )
