    The secret behind “naturally” skinny people



    Hey again! :D

    My friend Tom Venuto is giving away his new fat burning discovery for the first time in a short video presentation...

    If you want to lose fat fast, without feeling hungry (and cranky!) then you’ve got to see what Tom reveals in this video. 

    This is the “forgotten” body-typing secret discovered by a Harvard professor almost 80 years ago.

    And now Tom has updated it with the proven methods he’s used to help more than two hundred thousand people transform their bodies.

    It’s also about how to “feed your muscles” so you burn off the right kind of pounds – all the unwanted fat –while keeping all your precious lean body mass.

    It’s a major breakthrough for people who were sure they’d "tried everything!”

    He explains it all in the video, but I understand it won’t stay up for very long.

    So, go check it out while it’s still there... Just click here!

    ACTUAL Strip That Fat REVIEW

    Ok, so it would seem that every other site calling itself a ‘review’ of the Strip That Fat diet is actually a stupid sales page and there aren’t any real reviews out there, so I’m going to do a proper one because I’VE ACTUALLY USED IT! Alright, first of all:
    1) It DOES work, it’s a very effective and time-efficient weight loss program.
    2) It will NOT turn you into Arnold Schwarzenegger overnight!
    This is what I personally achieved after about 3 months on the program:
    If you’ve ever done a low-carb or low-fat diet you know that although they may work for a short period of time, after a few weeks your body adapts to the change in diet and the weight loss comes to a screeching halt, doesn’t it?
    Not only that, but they’re very unpleasant to be on and therefore impossible to stay on over the long term, and as soon as you go off them the weight just comes right back.
    Ok, first of all your body thinks you’re starving because you’re probably not eating enough fat (this is very true, and other works have corroborated this idea: check out Dr. Will Clower’s book ‘The Fat Fallacy’; it’s on Amazon), and this is one of the staples of the French diet which is credited for why they can stay so thin considering what they eat…
    They’re not consuming a lot of calories, but what they do consume is high-quality AND, very important, there’s enough fat in their diet so that their metabolism doesn’t think they’re starving and continues to burn fat because they’re still consuming fewer calories than they’re taking in.
    This is one of the premises of ‘Strip That Fat’, and it is, in fact, correct.
    What I really liked about the program was the ‘STF Diet Generator’ that came with it which will automatically create all your meals for you based on the prescribed diet program, so no more measuring or trying to come up with a meal plan.
    Also, I liked the fact that the program is set up to produce long-term results and is specifically designed as such–they start out with a 7 day program to get some immediate results (4-6 pounds gone in 7 days), and it goes all the way out to a 1-year plan where you will have lost over 50 pounds (if you need to lose that much).
    And lastly the whole program is centered around actually KEEPING the weight off (which you do–it’s been 6 months and I’m still doing great), which is where so man other diets fail, especially crash diets. So, you get immediate results, steady long-term weight loss, and you keep it off–this sounds great to me, but you be the judge and check it out for yourself by clicking right here!

    The Lean Body System REVIEW

    You have probably heard everything under the sun by now when it comes to losing weight and dieting. Maybe you have been told that you need to eat less and workout more, or eat more and workout less. Maybe you have even heard that you don’t need to workout at all! 

    Whatever the case may be, there are many different theories and techniques floating around that claim that they are the end all end solution when it comes to losing weight. But theories are only that, theories.

    They generally are untested and not proven to get the results that you desire. However, there is one particular weight loss solution available that claims that it really can help you to lose weight and get the body that you have always dreamed of. It’s called the Lean Body System, and not only does it take a unique approach to weight loss, but it has also been proven to work for many different people.

    The Lean Body System Overview

    The Lean Body System was created by a young man who goes by the name of Abel James. The main idea of Abel’s program is that instead of eating less and exercising more like all of the other current weight loss programs teach, you just need to eat and exercise differently. The one thing that is supposed to make this fat loss system so much different from other weight loss programs is that it utilizes a little known body science that is currently being used by models, celebrities, and even professional athletes to get lean physiques and toned muscles very quickly.
    Some of the information that you will get access to includes:
    • Little known tricks and specific food types that will skyrocket the amount of body fat that you will lose…
    • How much protein you really need in your diet…
    • How your blood sugar and insulin levels can affect your overall ability to lose weight…
    • Why money hungry companies are purposefully deceiving you about carbs…
    • And much more…
    Abel has packaged all of this information into his Lean Body Lifestyle manual which is a 100+ page eBook that will reveal to you the real secret and science behind rapid fat loss and building lean muscle. Abel states that once you know what type of foods you really need to eat and what type of exercises you really need to do, you will be able to get serious fat loss results in just a shot amount of time.
    Abel has included several different bonuses with the 100 + page manual. These bonuses include:
    • Quick Start Audio Guide
    • Quick Start Written Guide
    • Printable Shopping List
    • 30 Day Fitness Journal
    • 15 Days of Done For You Lean Body Meal Plans
    • Free Lifetime Updates
    Abel has loaded this course with all types of valuable information that will teach you exactly what you need to know to lose weight and create the body that you have always wanted in the least amount of time possible.

    What Will the Lean Body System Do For You?

    The Lean Body System will teach you the exact techniques and strategies that you need to know to get fast and long term weight loss results. Abel’s system has been used by many people and it has proven to help them to get the type of weight loss results that they truly desire. The program also has a very low refund rate which means that a majority of people who use this system are really pleased with it. If for some reason you are not satisfied with Abel’s system, you can take advantage of the 60 day money back guarantee that comes with it.

    Is your food making you FAT or BURNING fat?

    If you've tried fat loss diets before and have used a variety of weight loss cookbooks to try to lose body fat, then you very likely know by now that those fat loss diets and the "healthy" cookbooks that go with them don't work.

    What is it about them that makes successful weight loss so difficult to achieve?

    Well for starters, most "healthy" cookbooks are NOT designed with high Metabolic Thermo Charge ingredients. They are not using the metabolic powers that certain foods have to make your body burn more body fat. Instead, they use ingredients with very low thermogenic effect.
    Why does this matter? Because the Metabolic Thermo Charge of food stands for how many calories your body will burn just by breaking down the nutrients each time you consume a certain food.

    Most people have absolutely no idea of the power some of these foods have over the fat burning processes that go on inside the body, and so they never really think twice about them. BIG MISTAKE.

    For example, simply consuming high-quality protein with most meals will naturally burn off more calories and move you closer to your target weight. Lean protein has a very high "Metabolic Thermo Charge". Spices also have a strong thermogenic effect on your body. Combining certain foods together, such as chicken and turmeric, with help you burn more fat after you eat it.

    Interesting, right?

    But that's not all. Another thing to consider is whether or not your so-called “healthy” cookbook has a real structure. Too often, cookbooks are just a bunch of recipes thrown together at random – you pick and choose what you feel like eating at that point in the day. That is NOT going to make you burn fat faster!

    Having a structure is mandatory if you want to rid yourself of stubborn fat. That's why we developed a quick and easy "Metabolic Nutri-Profile" system for all our recipes, so you can see precisely what nutrients you're taking in, which ensures that each meal makes the most of your metabolic rate.

    Don't make the mistake of venturing into the food jungle without your compass!
    So we’ve talked about the food and the structure of your eating plan. Sounds like we’ve got it covered, right? NO!

    Ever followed a diet to a “T” and all of a sudden noticed that you stopped losing fat?
    This is called the Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon. It occurs at that point in your diet when your body knows precisely what it's getting in terms of food and has fully adapted to it. When it reaches this state, your metabolism slows down and fat loss screeches to a halt.

    In order to avoid the Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon, you have to vary your nutrient intake regularly, shocking your body as time goes on. This keeps it guessing and ensures your metabolism stays on high at all times. Having a wide range of fat loss recipes at your fingertips makes avoiding this frustrating condition a breeze!

    Now you know the REAL score when it comes to fat loss and dieting! Be sure to watch out for these three sneaky saboteurs next time you make the decision to lose fat!

    I told you this was great info, right?

    Dave and Karine know everything it takes to be successful when it comes to burning fat faster. And in Metabolic Cooking, they provide you with a huge collection of awesome fat torching recipes that will:
    1. Help you burn fat faster with the help of specific Metabolic Thermo Charged ingredients
    2. Efficiently structure your meal plan with their simple and effective "Metabolic Nutri-Profile"

    If you struggle with food or nutrition, Metabolic Cooking is your knight in shining armour.
