This is your week for coming to a commitment that you are going to do for fat loss

AN OVERVIEW OF THE WEEKS AHEAD

Here’s where we’re headed on a week-by-week basis:Week #1

This is your week for coming to a commitment that you are going to do for fat loss

whatever it takes to lose your excess fat.

If you have not already read my book, Maximum Fat Loss, I hope you will use the first week to do so. At about fifty pages a night (less than an hour of reading for most readers), you should be able to finish the book in a week. The book presents the basic concepts and underlying scientific information that is at the heart of the maximum fat loss program.

Week #2

In this week, you will be asked to undertake a complete physical appraisal —primarily an objective evaluation and documentation of what you weigh and your physical measurements. Then you will be asked to set a realistic goal as to how many calories you are going to consume daily.

Week #3

In this week, you will eat six meals a day with a total calorie count of ten times that of your ideal weight.

Week #4

This is your week to learn how to make a protein shake and to eat the right

amount and right kinds of protein each day.

Week #5

This is your week to get your carbohydrates in balance with your protein and to choose the right carbohydrates: low-glycemic-index fruits and vegetables.

Week #6

This is the week to get fatty adds incorporated into your eating plan and to make sure that your daily protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake is in balance.

Week #7

This is pantry-cleaning week! It is the time to dump the sugar bowl and to completely eliminate all the “bad carbs” from your house.

Week #8

In this week, you will be asked to make certain that you are drinking sufficient water each day.

Week #9

This week you will be challenged to make sure your fiber intake is sufficient.

 Week #10

You should already be exercising—this is your week to make certain you are well into the rhythm of doing twenty-five minutes of cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise five times a week.

Week #11

This is the week to make certain that you are doing flexibility (stretching) and strength-building (weights) exercises three to four times a week.

Week #12

This is the week to check your supplements and make sure you are taking in all the nutrients your body needs for maximum fat loss.

Each week you will also be asked to take very specific “Action Steps” that may not be directly related to the overall challenge of the week but that can put you on your way to establishing the eating and exercise habits you need to achieve maximum fat loss.

At the end of the twelve weeks you will have put together a complete plan

for fat loss that culminates in a new daily schedule and periodic check-points for the months ahead.

If you feel you would like to make these changes more quickly than twelve weeks ... go for it! Many of my clients implement the majority of these healthy choices the first week with outstanding, sometimes nearly miraculous, results.
