OR

-I am going to email everyone one by one who bought it. Now this is going to take a while. Even though I have a helper on this there has been a lot sold so it might be within 48-72 hours that you get an email.

I suggest if really itching for it send me a PM here or a email at trainer at avidityfitness.net with your email address and I will shoot it to you a lot faster. You might get a 2nd email as well, just ignore it or have fun a download it again.

You have to the love fun and quirks of mass emailing thousands of people.

PSS-If you love the book, do me a favor, get the word out. Share it with the world because this information is different. I want the “opinion” of weight loss to be done with, once and for all.

Mixed dating: Being the fat one in a relationship


15 Dec

Disclaimer:Let me warn you that this is a very sensitive topic, I am a very straight forward person, and am going to be using common sense, scientific data, and life experiences. This is a very generalized topic and is not going to be true for everyone. Please continue reading with understanding that I am not judging or claiming a right or wrong. This is simply a read of human character.

I had a different post planned for today but I received such an email response to Friday’s post that I felt it necessary to touch on a readers concern. In short, the reader wanted me to address the issues of being the “fat partner” and it’s effect on you physically and mentally.  I wanted to keep their identity private but highlight and start with a pretty truthful expression of human condition.

I still feel horrified on a daily basis even though he doesn’t persecute me or drag me around on his arm because I’m fat and he’s not. I still feel like I need to make up for being fat. And that because I’m fat I’m not marriable. I mean whenever you see someone on tv who has just lost a bunch of weight you always hear how they finally met someone who loves them beyond all measure.

People are getting fatter?

When you grow up in the land of buttermilk biscuits, sausage gravy, pecan pie, and tea so sweet it could fuel a car, it is hard to think that obesity is growing. I can’t remember a time where the majority of the adults I saw around me weren’t noticeably overweight. However, based on current research In the United States the prevalence of obesity for adults twenty to 74 years of age has increased from fifteen percent in the late 1970s to 32.2 percent in 2003-2004. From 2000 to 2005 alone, the prevalence of obesity rose 24 percent.

This kind of increase isn’t a small drizzle on social change; It is a typhoon effect of socialization. Obesity and its high rate of increase takes a few paths but ultimately the goal or social effect leads to acceptance. This isn’t acceptance just in dating, but in friendship as well. As our world and our eyes adjust, they adjust to a big belt size. One is inclined to say that it doesn’t matter as long as your  healthy. The question is, is it that simple?

In this series we are going to look at a scientific and real world look at mixed weight dating.
Are overweight people less likely to be married? What are the other issues that one must deal with in a relationship of mixed weight? Does it really matter if a spouse gains fat overtime? These questions and more are going to be answered.

Breaking News: America’s Next Oprah Trainer


10 Dec

Flooding an inbox near you is going to be the pleas, the cries, the challenges, the problem solvers, the blamers, and the money hungry fame wanting “gurus” that know the Willy Wonka golden ticket lies in the hands of one woman. It is sad that almost 99% of them get it wrong, and will take her down the exact same path as good ole Bob Greene.

5 Reasons why the next Oprah trainer will fail

Reason #1-The Thyroid Effect
None of the trainers understand the effects of the thyroid on metabolic behavior and how to manipulate it to burn fat. When you are metabolically challenged the game changes. That doesn’t mean you define laws, it means your speed limits are different. I see trainers and nutritionists, even good ones, work with those with thyroid problems, and they still don’t get it. You can’t do the same things, the normal tricks don’t work. You have to play a different game. You aren’t just dealing with the physical either, it is also the mental that comes along side of it.

Reason #2-The Apathy Effect
They don’t really care. All they want is the fame and money, which isn’t even that intense. There are actually easier ways to make money than to toy with the hearts and minds of a talk show host and not to mention leagues of women who watch it all across America.

Reason #3-They Don’t Get Fat Loss
Even if you look beyond the thyroid issue, there is still the issue of the fact that the majority of trainers don’t understand the first thing about training and nutrition for normal fat loss. They ignore the science because it doesn’t help their sales, they ignore their clients because people leaving hurts their pockets, and they teach the “do as I say, not as I teach” principle making the ones who do succeed, feel tied and trapped to them, for life.

Reason #4-They Don’t Get Women
Sorry, hate to break it to you, but they are a different creature to train. The average women is different than the average man. Sure there are exceptions, but Oprah is very much your average woman. You can’t train them the same and anyone who says otherwise only works with athlete women or never trains them. That doesn’t mean they are bad or better, they are just different.

Reason # 5-She will not trust you
Your fault or not she, like many other women, don’t have much more trust left to give. They have been duped, toyed with, and tricked for so long that everything, even the good is just another scam. The only way that you will get through, the only way to stand apart is to be the one that really does. If you are any of the reasons 1-4, then you will not win because she will not trust you.

I for one am not entering the race, I am merely just a spectator. At the end of the day if the “winner” happens to catch this blog post then I have a message for you.

Do your homework, because the weight of millions of women could rest in your hands.

Back…and better than ever


09 Dec

First let’s keep the mushy gushing stuff to a minimum, yeah I missed ya. That is all you are getting from me.

*Wipe gentle tear from eye*

As some of you know I have been very busy with training, and the re-launch of the new Fat Loss Troubleshoot page.  First things first, a little gossip.

I would love to drape you with stories of sexiness, parties, and paparazzi stalkings, but the truth is the nutrition was so restrictive that they were just bitchy and wanted to sleep. Ah yes, we are all just humans after all. My days were spent talking nutrition trash, teaching some trainers how to do a better job with their “star” clients, and basically teaching the blind to lead the hungry. I’m kidding ( a little). All in all I got really hands on and got to teach other trainers how to get the best from their clients, no matter who they are.

Why does any of it really matter? It doesn’t, but ooooh the sexy resume bulking it does for me.

Enough of that, let’s get to the good stuff.

Good Thing #1- The page has changed and nothing is the going to be the same. Check out the trailer now…
http://fatlosstroubleshoot.com
(Make sure to refresh/reload page if been recently to remove stored cookies.)

Now this is the really important part for PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS.

If you previously purchased the full package: You will be receiving all the updated material for free. I hate it when people don’t do that. This one time I bought a product and literally the next day it was all decked out with the “bonuses” and extra stuff. The price was the same, but he expected me to buy it all over again? Yeah I don’t think so. Your “$2000″ bonus offers just weren’t cutting it for me.

If you previously purchased only the Fat Loss Troubleshoot or only the Metabolic Repair: You still have the same material, BUT you will get a ONE TIME ONLY upgrade to get the full package. There really aren’t a lot of people that bought only one book anyway, but there are enough to where I wanted to give the upgrade option. I assure you it will be reasonably priced, but I will be emailing it to you personally (so it really will be for a ONE TIME ONLY deal). To find out make sure to sign up on the list.

Good Thing #2 – The Body By Eats (the most awesome healthy recipe fat loss cookbook ever) preview is here! It can be downloaded from the FLTS page. I warn you that looking at it may cause severe hunger and the feeling of wanting more.

Why the sign up? I have switched over mailing lists. After this I will no longer be sending emails through from my previous merchant set up. So if you don’t sign up for the Body By Eats preview then you will not get updated on all the juicy information I have coming up.

Good Thing #3 – This is more good for me I guess, but I got a gig at the Examiner.com to be one of their “Weight Loss” experts.  They are currently ranked in the 3,000’s by Alexa rankings, are growing at a massive rate, and are allowing me to be me. This means the good stuff can get out more, and that is never bad.

Check out good things 4-6 tomorrow. In the meantime, go sign up on the new mailing list and get yourself a mini cookbook.

PS-Pass around the link and cookbook sign up, get people excited about it. Good things are happening, CHANGE can happen. All we can do is work from the inside to make things better.

Contest Winners and Why This Fat Loss Blog Sucks


07 Jul

You can see above who the winner was but let’s give it a proper shout out anyways!

Congratulations…

Steve R. from Michigan for the awesome banner.

*Throws confetti and cues recorded claps*

It was really close but Steve took it in a 29-21 vote to Stephanie M.’s banner.

Here is the deal though, both Steve and Steph (good name combo) have the books and Steve is apparently phone shy so…

Steve gets the free goodies (what he really wanted) and the Amazon gift card, and since Stephanie put so, so much hard work into multiple banners (seriously, she worked really hard) and loves her music I have no choice but to award her the $50 Amazon gift card as well.

Congratulations to Steve and Stephanie and thank you for your fantastic work on the banners!

The next topic for discussion is why this blog has been lacking. There are a lot of reasons for this but mainly it’s been a lack of time or more so my lack of using it well. See, where as some of you have fat loss issues to troubleshoot and are fat loss rejects, I am an organization reject.

At least I was.

I am now on a program. It involves weekly check-in’s with my sponsor and we go over proper use of a cork board. I’m excited and you should be too. I have officially set aside blog time instead of “if I have time to get to it” blog time.

And how sexy is this new layout, eh? No more problems with layout, images loading, resolutions, etc. This is a setup that should work with everyone.

Lastly, there is one more twist to the contest but you’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out!
