There is no shortage of programs claiming to have the answers for those who want to lose fat. But what type of program is best for fat loss? And why do most programs seem to work for some people but not for everyone?
The easiest way to answer that is to look at the processes that happen when you lose fat and then do something to improve those processes.
In my 13 years of professionally studying fat loss as both a student and doctor my greatest discovery is that all fat loss can be broken down into four simple steps. And I do mean ALL fat loss. There is nothing that happens, no matter what diet or exercise program you chose, that causes fat loss for any reason other than these four steps. In short, influence those four steps and you will lose more fat. Neglect one or more of the steps and you might end up putting forth a lot of effort with little fat loss to show for your efforts. It is that simple!
The four steps in the proper order is what I call my Fat Loss Model. Once you understand the four steps of my Fat Loss Model you will not only be able to lose weight but also be able to easily understand why so many “weight loss programs” fail to produce results. Those programs simply neglect one or more of the crucial four steps of fat loss.
The four steps of the fat loss model in order are Liberate, Transport, Convert and Burn.
Think of the four steps like four links in a chain. If three links are made of aluminum but one of the links is made of paper, the chain is not going to be very strong. It will only be as strong as its weakest link which is paper. If you wanted to strengthen the chain, would it make sense to upgrade the aluminum links to high grade steel? Of course not! The paper link is still the weakest link and the chain will snap under even the tiniest of load. But this is exactly what many weight loss programs do. They ignore, or fail to acknowledge, the weakest link in your weight loss “chain” and instead continue to reinforce the already strong links. Does “Exercise more and eat less and you will lose weight” sound familiar? It may work for some, but for you it may not address your weaknesses and therefore may not do you any good.
The Fat Loss Model is a different approach that considers diet and exercise as important steps in fat loss but it recognizes that they are not the only important steps. It aims to identify your weakest link(s) and strengthen them first. Much like replacing the weak paper chain link with an aluminum link would be the easiest way to strengthen the chain, focusing your attention on your metabolic weaknesses is the most efficient way to strengthen your metabolism and help you lose body fat.
We talked about 2 supplements that help convert fat into energy more efficiently:
Mito-PQQ™ and Mitochondrial NRG™.
