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.

Fat Loss Troubleshooter Speaks-Emails Round 5
(To Stream Click + ; To Download “Right Click and Save Link As”)

1-From Mike

Leigh,
I know that you have done extensive work with eating disorders. I am an avid listener of your podcast and The Fitcast and find you very smart and insightful.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and I currently run several group homes for juvenile males in the Phoenix area. I want to be smarter about the diet that the boys eat, especially in regard to how diet affects mood and behavior.

Can you give me any insight if there certain foods could be useful in helping to calm behavior or foods that should be avoided? I currently try to ensure that the boys are eating a healthy diet, but beyond that are there steps I could be taking that could be beneficial to their treatment?

2-From Melvyn

Hi Leigh,

I would like to know about how you got started in this industry, I will be starting my studies in human nutrition in 2010, and I would like to know what I can do while studying or after finishing the degree.

Thanks
Melvyn

3-From Jen

Hey Leigh,

I just want to say first off that I think what you are doing is a fabulous thing and I am very impressed with your knowledge and tenacity with which you project your messages regarding weight loss.

I am writing this just as an FYI,I am looking for nothing more but…I just want you to be aware of how hard it is for some people (like me) who have an eating disorder and came to your site as a result of the metabolic recovery manual. The difficulty (and why I just removed myself from your subscription) is that the emails I keep receiving only talk about losing weight, getting started, getting motivated, don’t give up, this is why you should lose weight, etc. Then you have someone like me who is desperate to lose weight, but can’t, and shouldn’t and then I receive the above mentioned emails.

Like I said, I value what you say so very much and I have read both of your books, I have even asked for your personal help, so this is not a critique but rather a head’s up to make you aware that your audience is more diverse than other run of the mill weight loss sites. So, thank you for your continued efforts in this field and I will from time to time check out your blog. Right now I think it is too much for me to keep receiving your motivational emails as I am trying to moderate my time on this (seemingly) never ending weigh loss roller coaster.

Keep Smiling, Jen

Dear Leigh,

I am at the tail end of a severe respiratory infection which has kept me from training for the past 3 weeks, and will most likely keep me out for another week (dr’s orders). I was wondering if you could advise me how best to get back into the swing of things. I want to regain my stamina as quickly as possible without making my body want to revolt .
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lori

P.S. Any updates on when the cookbook will be available?

5- Anonymous

I’m on week 4 of your Metabolic Repair program (as of today) and my birthday is In four days. I’m wondering if it’s okay to have some champagne or wine to celebrate or will it stuff my progress? What about a piece of cake???

Also, I’m terrified of loose skin. I’ve gained 50kg in the course of a year. I tried fasting to get my weight down but I couldn’t control my eating and I just kept ballooning. I’ve gained stretch marks on 3 parts of my body that never had stretch marks before and I’m extremely scared of ending up with loose skin. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? I’m only 22 and don’t want to have loose skin on my body for the rest of my life.

Would greatly appreciate your reply, and if you would like to use this question on your site you’re welcome to, but please just blot my name out.

Thanks!! I look forward to your response.

So how are you guys hanging in there? Check in is coming up and look for updates on my crew on Sat. I have a sneak peak for you…

They are kicking some SERIOUS fat loss tail!

Big News #1- I am going to be talking on the Fitcast. For those not aware of what it is Fitcast is a fitness show hosted by Kevin Larrabee. I am told my boy, Tony Gentilcore, is going to be on the call so I am excited about that. Tony is one of my favorite fitness bloggers due to him being able to consistently fuse humor and something good to say every time.

If you have something you want answered shoot some questions here: http://thefitcast.com/?page_id=440

Big News #2- I am ending my run of distance-training until further notice. I have taken up a position of helping other professionals that will not leave me time for new distance clients. This is a pretty big deal, short term. I am still going to be doing in-person training, but in order to do that I can’t take on any more clients in a distance-sense except for special conditions or case clients. As a result, I am feeling terrible turning down all the requests for training. Even though I won’t be able to take on new clients I AM going to be doing phone consults and a free conference. Thus, it works out better because you are going to get more of me and for cheaper.

Big News #3- Body By Eats is going to be having a recipe contest and it’s own blog! Not only will you get your recipe in Body By Eats you will also win the book, all the downloads, and did I mention the luscious cash prize?!

Stay tuned for more details to come.

EDIT: I got one message asking what is “special occasions or case clients” and how do you qualify?

Well sometimes I do a particular study on a certain group of people (ex-smokers, cancer recovery, etc) and will ask for them.

The special occasions are not because ”I have lots of money” since in reality I could care less about the monetary aspect, and I can get that without being “picky.” Instead, special occasions are usually those with severe physical limitations or illnesses. It’s for those who otherwise can’t afford a personal trainer, and I work with them in exchange for having data to pull from them and to just help out. I can’t do this all the time but I do so when I can because it’s still important.

So while it’s fun, and I can’t say I hate it, throwing money at me isn’t going cause a different motivation at the moment and that isn’t what my work is about. It’s only a time issue and nothing more. I will still work with my current clients and am very happy to do so at that.

That being said, please remember the current change isn’t forever and you will find that even better things are to come.

Hungry Girl You Crashed My Site!

If you don’t know who Hungry Girl is just go to a book store or the back of a Fiber One cereal box, or on TV Land, or well,..SHE IS EVERYWHERE!

So, yeah, if you don’t know who Hungry Girl is I am sure you will soon.

I personally had the pleasure of being featured on her newsletter list today for my Fat Loss Tips Video. And I’ve never been able to be one of those people that said “they crashed my server” but, um… yeah, Hungry Girl Crashed My Server!

I’m actually really thankful to be getting the information out there and if I knew how to contact Lisa (Hungry Girl) I would but for now I just have to say…

Thank you very much for the feature and to all the new visitors I hope it is a start to help you on your way.

I have received a few emails from before the crash, because I still can’t send out e-mail yet, that I want to address. So I will be doing so via a special podcast tomorrow for itunes listeners and subscribers so sign up now!

There is one question I want to address right now though which is…

“Is that all the book says, count your calories?”

No, not even close. Remember this video is just a tip, this is a starting point. I will give you a hint…

You can count calories all your want, BUT, are they the right amount you should be counting (which is the real question) and how do you figure that out?

You hate me more now don’t you?!?

I will leave you with the best email I have ever gotten on this which is…

Dear Leigh,

“OMFG I HATE YOU, YOU JUST DESTROYED MY LIFE! I am calling my mother-in-law right now and destroying hers!”

You hate me now, don’t you?

I’m just here for the food…but how do I cook it?

By now a lot of you have gotten the message that The Fat Loss Troubleshoot is about teaching you how to “fish” for fat loss. In general, I feel that way about everything. Whatever I can learn to do myself, I try to do. I like collecting skills; it’s fun.

One skill that I was lucky enough to have come across naturally was cooking. However, for some, the act of cooking successfully is a great challenge. Since I believe that good food goes a long way with surviving fat loss, here’s a lesson for the day.

Since I confessed to a Peanut Butter addiction yesterday, I thought that today I would confess to another dark secret.

I have a massive crush on Alton Brown.

He’s just my kind of guy, what can I say. He appeals to the humor and scientific side of me equally, a very rare quality.

Alton feels about cooking the way I feel about fat loss. If you don’t have it naturally, if you aren’t “gifted” in it, then you have to learn it from a no-nonsense point of view.

So it’s funny that I got this email today because I was just thinking about making a Alton post.

Question: Leigh,

What is a good “teach a man to fish” cookbook that you recommend?

Thanks for your awesome products,

Neal

Well Neal first off, what an awesome, freaking question! You know why? It says you want to learn something, you don’t just want to be blindly lead through life. That’s part of what makes people great at what they do, not just lucky.

To answer your question I highly recommend picking up Alton Brown’s I’m Just Here for the Food (I believe Version 2.0).

The book is just awesome. It goes through the basics of everything, gives great graphs, some cartoons, humor and more. You learn about spices, different cooking methods, rubs, pots to use, knives, you name it. Basically, if you are a cooking moron, by the end of this book you will truly be informed. Maybe you will need recipes, maybe you won’t have soul-cooking going on but you will never not rock out instructions ever again.

Get On it!
