One of the most common questions I get asked is:
“What should I eat before my workouts if I want to get rid of bodyfat?”
The answer?
NOTHING.
I’ve been saying this for almost a decade now… and research is catching up with the idea.
It’s nice to be right. : )
Several studies now confirm that exercising while your body is low on food may be a good way to trim excess fat.
European researchers found that cyclists who trained without eating burned significantly more fat than their counterparts who ate. Now, this is important: Cycling requires a LOT of energy. Far more energy than you need to get rid of bodyfat.
Working out with weights and doing moderate to intense (but short) cardio will take care of 99% of your needs when it comes to fatburning.
But with weights, and espeically with the cyclists that were tested, performance may be an issue.
In fact the members of the group of cyclists that didn’t eat performed worse on the intensive training. Still, they burned a higher proportion of fat to carbohydrates than the group that ate. (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.)
Why? Simple. Your body’s blood sugar is lowest in the morning prior to eating. When you train, moderately or with intensity, most of your fuel comes from your bodyfat and NOT ingested carbs. Isn’t that cool?
Which would you rather burn… bodyfat or carbs?
Yeah, me too. : )
About performance: I have found that my performance only suffers slightly when fasting and training for the first few weeks. After that my performance increases. The body starts to burn its own bodfyat far more efficiently so I find I have PLENTY of energy.
This was not a lone study on fasting and training. In a 2008 study, Hespel and colleagues tested the effects on men who did endurance training without eating versus those who ate. In the athletes who hadn’t eaten, the researchers found a spike in the amount of proteins needed to process fat, meaning their bodies had been primed through fasting to get rid of more bodyfat.
So, now you know the answer to the old question: “What should I eat before training?”
Nothing… or as little as possible.
In my next email I’ll tell you what to eat AFTER your workouts to REALLY jack your fatburning through the roof…
… and no, it’s not “nothing”. It’s something special. ; )
P.S. If you want the best diet possible to turn your body into a fat-burning machine along with my personal workout plan for fasting cardio… and a plan that works in your favorite foods too … then look no further than this:

Emotional Eating
Posted by: | CommentsAre you an emotional eater?
Emotions can be deadly.
At least when it comes to eating.
And the VAST majority of us are “emotional eaters.” And that leads to excess bodyfat.
We eat when we are stressed-out.
We eat when we are overly happy.
We eat when we are depressed.
And when you eat like this you can kiss your fatloss goodbye.
There’s a 4-minute video that I want you to watch today.
It is touching, funny, and very powerful all at the same time.
And it will help you come to terms with emotional eating.

Fat Is Contagious? New Research
Posted by: | Comments[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
A Contagious Fat Virus?
It’s like a dream come true.
“Gaining bodyfat is the result of a virus.”
Wouldn’t that be great news?
Well…
Let me tell you about the AD-36 adenovirus. Adenoviruses are the same nasty bugs that cause the common cold. We all have these viruses in various forms in our body all the time.
That last bit is a critical distinction.
Remember that.
The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana has been doing some really ground-breaking research on AD-36. AD-36 affects stem cells… more specifically fat cells, both pre-formed and post-formed.
This means AD-36 can make MORE fat cells if contracted as an infant and make your fat cells larger if contracted as an adult. Also known as the obesity virus.
Or so the theory goes.
To quote the study:
“Earlier researchers have concluded that Ad-36 may be contributors to obesity by super-charging fat cells to grow and store more fat. Until now, though, those researchers thought the viruses targeted pre-fat cells (called pre-adipocytes), causing them to convert in higher numbers to fat cells and causing those fat cells to be larger. Those studies were in mice. Pasaricas work determines the virus targets stem cells in humans.”
The result?
“In one test, a third of obese people had the rare and highly contagious virus compared to just 11 percent of thinner people. Weight gain can last three months until the body has built up resistance to the bug.”
Wow. Sounds like we have a winner here. A virus that you can catch that literally makes you gain bodyfat! All we need is…
a vaccine!
Right?
Wrong.
First of all, notice that 11% of LEAN people have AD-36. And at any given time, just like a cold or a flu virus, you could contract AD-36. If your body has ‘never’ been exposed to it, you may require about 3 months to build up antibodies to ward it off.
Now, you can gain a lot of weight in 3 months… but come on. You cannot become obese in three months unless you are really, REALLY working at it.
Plus, like most viruses, you build up immunity to AD-36. Researchers do not know how long the immunity lasts, but some theorize it could last years… some even decades.
And let’s not forget those 11% who are lean and have the virus.
Why did they not all of a sudden get “sick” with bodyfat?
Because they are not EATING or LIVING in a way that allows them to gain bodyfat no matter what nasty freakin’ viruses may be floating about, that’s why.
That’s right folks: It is always going to come down to the food we put in our body and the way we move. Here’s another hypothesis presented by Sherry Strong, food philosopher and nutritionist: “This could very well be the result of nature creating a mutation to encourage us to eat more due to the fact our consumption of natural, whole and organic foods is so low.”
Brilliant observation… and one tha makes complete sense.
Even if a “virus” is responsible for 20% of our weight gain, what about the other 80%?
We do not need a vaccine other than good food and a common sense workout plan.
Lose Body Fat – click here <— the “vaccine” for bodyfat
Here’s why I love this workout:
1. It’s fast. 7-14 minutes 3-5 days per week. Anyone on earth can do this.
2. The Basic Upgrade (you will see it) still comes with a copy of my book “The Every Other Day Diet.” Put the two together and you have an absolute winner of a plan that’s practical and enjoyable.
3. Plus, anyone who owns “Every Other Day Diet” gets my upcoming “Radical Fatloss Blueprint” book free. It comes out March 1st.
That’s 3 good reasons to go here and check out 7 Minute Muscle…

Here’s one more:
You know better.
You know that there’s never going to be a magic pill for health, vitality, energy and looking your best.
We can keep hoping… or you can take action and get what you want now.
To me, that makes more sense than AD-36 “Super-Retro Fat-burning Vaccine” to hit the marketplace in 2021.
