Say “NO” to Fat Burning Diets

January 13, 2010 By nymesis Leave a Comment

fatburningfurnace.comTrend diets, all of them have one thing in common. They’re diets. They’re like a pair of bell bottom pants. They’re in for 2 years and they are gone. Then they find they are way back just when the fitness pros know we are ready to eat ‘em up again – no joke intended. So you get some weight loss initially, but you could also lose some muscle on these programs too, and you know that losing muscle can spell disaster to your fat burning efforts. But the bigger problem with these diets is that most who follow ludicrous diets gain back the fat they lost, and then some!

On top of that, they frequently suggest targeting too much on one kind of food, which can cause poor eating procedures.
You see, the idea of a diet is cursed to fail. Why? Diets are based in a non-permanent mindset. The incontrovertible fact that somebody goes on a diet means they will have to come off of the diet. This is temporary – why force yourself to lose ten pounds when you’re just going to gain it back and then some when you go off of the diet? That may sound easy, but most people do not get itthey look to diets as the solution to their weight and health issues. But they are not the answer, and they actually create more Problems for you. People who are regular dieters don’t burn calories over the long haul.

If you seek life long fat burning, fitness and health in a lean body, you must take some recommendation from my mom, and likely your mom too. When I mull it over, probably the best base of nutritive data I received was from my mum. For the main part, my mother was right. She did not know anything about fat burning, but she made sure I got nutritious foods growing up.

Thanks, Mom! Mom’s diet was really quite sound, and I’ve found that heeding some of this advice in the pursuit of maximum fat burning and a lean healthful body for the remainder of your life is a smart way to go.

You see, your body naturally craves foods loaded in nutrients ( antioxidants, phyto-nutrients, fiber, vitamins, minerals, for example.

You then start to burn the calories as a natural result of giving your body what it prospers on. On top of that, you’re lowering your risk for illness by promoting a natural alkaline environment in your body with these types of foods.
When this occurs, you can just kiss fat burning goodbye.

My Fat Burning Furnace students have changed their lives permanently, by simply altering what they put in their bodies and you can do it to.

Target foods rich in nutriments. In part two of this article, I will get more explicit in helping you make the change from your current way of living to the one you desire. One where your body plausibly consumes calories 24 hours per day, seven days a week with little effort.

How To Avoid 8 Years Of Poor Health In A Fat Body

June 15, 2008 By nymesis7210 1 Comment

By Rob Poulos, Fat Loss & Fitness Expert & Author of “Fat Burning Furnace“

I was puttering around on the internet this morning and I saw something that caught my eye.  It was the latest data regarding our current life expectancy as humans from the World Health Organization, along with a history of how that’s changed over the years.

This info went all the way back to the Neanderthal period (the guys from the Geico commercials) up to present day humans. Those poor Geico guys only lived to be 20 years old on average, while today’s humans can expect about 75 years of life.

But did you know that today’s people have an average healthy life expectancy of just 67 years?  In other words, this is saying that you can expect 8 years of your life in poor health.  8 years!  That’s 2900+ days of poor health.  I don’t know about you, but that’s not something I’m looking forward to.

I sure think we can do better than 67 years of good health on  this planet.  And you know what?  We can.  This number is an average.  Like anything else, you don’t have to be average if you don’t want to be.  The average person doesn’t exercise properly, if at all.  The average person doesn’t know how to make the right foods selections and maintain a healthy diet.  The average person doesn’t apply themselves mentally and emotionally to maintain relatively stress free living.

If this sounds a little bit too much like you, the good news is you don’t have to be this person any longer.  While it is a shame that today’s health, fitness, and diet industry is simply confusing more people than it’s helping, there are a few people and organizations out there that can provide a realistic, effective and efficient approach to breaking past the average healthy life span and living those years full of energy, strength, and vitality.

I get questions from my Fat Burning Furnace readers all the time, after going through the FBF materials, about how they can’t believe how little exercise I recommend.  And even though I’ve told them up front that they can let go of the aerobics or traditional cardio, many still have trouble doing that.  And what I tell them is directly related to the subject of life expectancy and just how much time we really have in our lives.

I tell them that having a lean, strong, and healthy body is great.  It’s one of the most important things we can attain. Period.  But, how much time is it worth to you?  That’s the question I asked myself over and over when seeking out my own methods and developing the FBF methods.

Most people, after years and years of trial and error, come to realize that spending several days and hours a week working out is just not worth the trouble.  And carefully measuring your food, counting calories, and depriving yourself of nutrient rich foods like whole grain carbohydrates is also something that shouldn’t be necessary to enjoy a healthy and energy filled life.  And it isn’t.

What we really should be focusing on is how much time and effort is minimally required to get the results we’re looking for. Think about that.  Not how much, but how much is minimally required.  Remember, we’ve got just 67 healthy years as a starting point…If I valued my time on this planet, this is what I would be searching for.

If it really took hours and hours a week and all of that crazy nutrition manipulation to burn fat, build muscle, strength, and cardiovascular health, I’m not sure I’d do it.  Not for very long anyway.  I’ve tried that approach, for years, and if you have you know it’s no fun.  And it’s just not realistic given the demands our lives place on us in today’s world.

But as I’ve mentioned before, you don’t have to worry about that kind of stuff anymore.  The principles in my FBF system allow you to approach your genetic potential for a lean, strong, and healthy body in just minutes each week and with very simple lifestyle changes.

I’ve been using the FBF principles for a while now.  I work out twice each week.  I even take a week off entirely every few weeks or so.  I don’t count calories.  I don’t deprive myself of the foods I love.  If it’s my daughter’s birthday, I eat a piece of cake.  I just work the FBF principles and continue to stay in great shape day after day, week after week, year after year.

I work out so little because of the way the workouts are performed and created, and I eat with such flexibility because I stick with the FBF lifestyle, which gives you the power of flexibility and variation that is lacking in most programs.

What I’m saying is that I’ve discovered what is minimally required to give me the health and body that I wanted.  And many of my FBF students are doing it as well.  Sure I could add another day a week to my workouts, but at this point it would actually be detrimental to my results.  I could also start messing with my diet in all sorts of crazy ways, but that would just make my body angry and cause me unneeded stress.

So, I ask you, are you trying to find what’s minimally required to get you the results you want?  If you truly value your time and the other worthy pursuits in your life, I’m suggesting that this is exactly what you should be doing.  If you don’t, you may just end up being an average 67 year old with 8 years of poor health to look forward to.

The Best Way to Fire Up Metabolism, Burn Fat Fast & Develop Lasting Health

May 14, 2008 By nymesis7210 Leave a Comment

By Rob Poulos, Fat Loss & Fitness Expert & Author of “Fat Burning Furnace“

Ask ten people what type of exercise they should be doing to burn fat and fire up their metabolism and they’ll all probably tell you the same thing. They’ll tell you that you need to do 30-40 minutes of moderately-paced aerobic exercise on a treadmill, elliptical machine, stair climber, etc. for 3-5 times per week. They’ll probably also tell you that more is better…4 times per week would be better than 3, and 5 times per week would be even better.

People will tell you this because that’s been and continues to be the mainstream recommendation for fat burning by many fitness professionals. Get in a certain target heart rate and stay at that heart rate for 30 minutes or so, several times per week. I am here to tell you there is a better way. Sure, you’ll burn some calories while you’re running to nowhere on a treadmill, but you won’t make a complete physique transformation with this type of exercise alone.

In fact, this type of exercise can actually be counterproductive to burning fat. Here are just a couple of reasons:

Long duration, lower intensity aerobics calls upon your stored body fat for energy during the sessions. While this may sound good, this can actually cause your body to create more body fat in reserve after the workout is over to have ready for your next workout. Yikes!

What’s worse, this type of exercise when done frequently as typically suggested, trains your cardiovascular system to be efficient. Again, while this sounds good, your heart and lungs can actually reduce their capacity for work as they are getting more efficient at doing easy work (your long duration, low intensity aerobic workouts), which reduces their ability to handle stress. This can lead to a host of other problems including higher change of heart attack. You are only working within your current aerobic capacity because you’re never challenging it to go beyond what it’s capable of. And anything that is easy will not yield results even close to what’s challenging for the body to accomplish. Instead, you should be challenging the body to increase its capacity, so that it is stronger and able to deal with stress more easily. How is this done?

The fastest and most efficient way to rev up your metabolism, burn fat faster, and develop lifelong health and fitness is to add lean muscle to your body through resistance training – period. You want life changing results in the quickest possible time? Get stronger and build some muscle. When you add lean muscle to your body you’ll be literally turning your body into a fat burning machine!

Let’s say that you were eating the amount of calories that allow you to maintain your current bodyweight, but began to add lean muscle to your body through proper resistance training…you’ll need to use some of those calories you’re eating to feed the new muscle, creating a calorie deficit in your body.

In addition, when you stimulate your body with proper resistance training like I teach my students, the repair and growth process will call upon your stored body fat for energy. This calorie deficit combined with the repair and growth process will allow you to burn fat all day long, every day. You’ll even get these fat burning effects when you’re sitting around doing nothing at all.

Also, properly conducted resistance training actually increases your heart and lung’s capacity for work. By placing intense demands on your body, it is forced into being ready for anything you throw at it. This makes you more resistant to cardiovascular health problems that plague most people…even those that exercise with aerobics frequently.

And the beauty is I’ve discovered that you don’t have to spend much time working out to get the fat loss effects, and strength and muscle gains that will create this environment…you can actually get it done with 2 or 3 weekly workouts that last between 20 and 30 minutes, and even less time at an advanced level. And it’s easy to make this type of exercise part of your life because of its efficiency…and it will help keep you lean and healthy for the rest of it…muscle is the stuff that fat burning furnaces are made of! That I can promise you.

Rest, Sleep, And Burn More Fat Fast

January 28, 2008 By nymesis7210 Leave a Comment

In order to reap the benefits from the intense exercise I recommend to my Fat Burning Furnace students, you must get adequate rest. I can’t stress this fact enough. In fact, rest is just as important, if not more important that the actual exercise. During the high intensity resistance exercise that my students perform, the muscles experience tiny injuries or tears. The body’s response is to adapt and repair, getting stronger and larger muscles, which of course leads to burning more fat and a leaner body.

But this growth and repair process won’t take place if the body is not allowed the time to do its job. Too often, people rush back into the gym, as many have been inundated with the “more is better” axiom when it comes to exercise. But if we don’t get out of the body’s way and let it do its magic, we will experience poor results. We won’t burn fat like we want to, and we will just end up demotivated or possibly give up our efforts altogether.

If you don’t get enough rest or sleep, you’ll have a very difficult time building the fat-burning muscle that will transform your body. And you’ll also have a tough time burning fat off too! That’s why we can’t work out too long or too often when using a sufficient intensity level. When giving the body an intense stimulus, such as proper weight training, you can’t keep hammering it into the ground. If you did this, you’d quickly over train your muscles and negate your body’s ability to recover from exercise. Your immune system could become so worn down in fact, that you might even get sick…this happened to me a few times in the past when I wasn’t paying attention to getting adequate rest and sleep.

And this repair and recover process doesn’t happen overnight, it usually takes 2 days or more, So make sure to keep between 1-3 days of rest between your properly conducted resistance training workouts, or you will be short-circuiting your chances of success to burn fat and build lean, strong, muscle.

Now that we know how important rest is to burning fat and building muscle, we also must understand the most important component of rest…otherwise know as sleep. Sleep is the ultimate recovery tool, and not only for recovery from exercise. It’s a recovery tool from any stress you take in throughout the day. Whether it’s from family pressures, work issues, or finances, etc., increased stress can be dissolved by adequate sleep. And don’t think you can burn fat maximally when you’re over-stressed by other things in your life. A high stress level can shut down the effectiveness of your ability to burn fat, among other things.

So make sure to get adequate sleep. What’s ideal? I would recommend no less than seven or more than nine hours. In fact, seven and half hours per night might be the perfect amount! Research has shown that we sleep in cycles of 90 minutes or so. It has been suggested that if we wake up too far before or after one of these 90 minute cycles, you will probably feel groggy for a good part of the day. So try the 5 90 minutes sleep cycles, or 7 and a half hours…you’ll most likely wake up feeling well-rested and energized, and your fat burning furnace will show it’s appreciation, allowing you to burn more fat faster.
