2 more success stories for the Fat Loss Troubleshoot


14 Apr

I was just over at JP Fitness at my subforum there and read this. I thought I would share as something about it just made me smile. There is so much here about their change, helping their mother, and now helping others change their lives. I have been lucky to have so many people I work with become trainers, or take on this field.

I get asked a lot of why I don’t share more testimonies and stories. I don’t know really, I almost feel like they are private. Like a secret we have between each other. Most of you know they are all over the place and I certainly have them with my in person clients. So I will work on doing that more.

There is also a great tip in here about how to help your mom/dad take on what you are doing. It is so hard because we all want our parents to be with us as long as we can. Often times we can’t get around the fact that we are still the kids and they are the parents. It makes me think I should write some more on this because having your family in general be apart of your new lifestyle can do wonders for you.

Leigh I doubt you will remember me ? I wanted to come back and report on the changes I have made because of your book and listening to your work in general.

I went through the program and saw my abs for the first time. There wasn’t much to see but they were there. Since then I went through a bulking phase and I used Remix to cut back down. I loved Remix, it was better for me and the cycling is what I needed. I have ended up at 5′10 and 182lbs and 8-9% bf based on your videos! I have my abs and a nice chest too.

Better than that my mom had been having health issues and needed to lose weight. I put her on OPT and did her multiplier for her. I did everything I could to help her with making her food and stuff in the beginning. Over Easter she hit 64 pounds lost! She wants to keep going now and she is a new person. She said she mailed you before about a hip issue and that helped her too.

I wish others can have the same luck with their parents. If you guys go a little out of your way to help them in the beginning it helps. All it took was to see 5 pounds here, 4 pounds there lost and she was a believer.

If you can answer a quick question for me?

I got certified. My dream is to do it full time. I don’t have time to do a lot of training so should I start with 1on1 for better experience or is group training just as good? Also how does affiliating your book work? I can do that with a client right?

Thanks for what you do!

If you want more info on the program they used it is called The Fat Loss Troubleshoot. You can check it out here.

Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there…


05 Feb

I love update posts. I think I love them so much because they remind me that I am actually getting somewhere in life and doing things. Sometimes the days just travel by so fast it is nice to sit back and ask “what the hell is going on in my life right now?”

The answer is…

1. I am now the official co-host along with Jonathan “studmuffin” Fass on The Fitcast. Kevin, Tony, and Brian have done a really great job at throwing together a great exercise database too so go check it out here.

This means if you have any questions you want me to answer, head here. It is going to be a little longer on my podcasts, so this is the best way get an audio answer right now.

2. I was a “Expert Profile” feature for Precision Nutrition site and did a “Day in the Life.” It was fun, I snapped some pictures, and overall found out I am really boring right now. Check it out!

3. FLzine.com will be launching March 1st. I have a LOT more to tell you about as far as this is concerned, but I am going to save that for another post. For now, just know, I am freaking awesome.

4. Ryan Viers (one of my former clients) launched up a great new site called “LifeGawker.” An awesome idea and a positive way to spend you video watching time. Go check it out.

5. The Fat Loss Troubleshoot is still going strong and the word is getting around well. Last checked # 6 in nutrition and #12 in Diet.  I can’t thank everyone enough for their support and I hope you take the time to chat with me sometime either here, on twitter, or facebook. I am limiting myself to three of these things only because I am just too much of a goof to keep up with the rest.

So what’s been going on with you? I need some updates!

How to Use The Fat Loss Troubleshoot Package


07 Jan

I am one of those people that sometimes assumes people know exactly what I am thinking. I have recently released the new version of the Fat Loss Troubleshoot with all kinds of extras and goodies. The problem is you don’t know how to use them! That is my fault so I am going to rectify this right now. Before I give you the order, you first have to answer some important questions.

Why did you buy the package?

There are three main camps of people who bought the package. Which camp you belong in will depend on how you move through the system of manuals. While there is a wider selection then just this, I think you can find one group that you relate to on some level.

Group A
-Is new to nutrition and training
-Has been dieting for a while but doesn’t understand fat loss
-Is stuck in a plateau or rut
-Is having a hard time losing fat, doesn’t understand why
-Is looking to achieve lean body and healthy strength increase
-Is looking to understand basic levels of nutrition and training concepts

Group B
-Has been dieting a very long time
-Is recovering from an eating disorder or hoping too
-Has been training very hard and has hit a wall
-Has been dieting very hard and has hit a wall
-Has a problem with Thyroid, Diabetes, Celiac, etc

Group C
-Is a professional athlete
-Is a professional bodybuilder or fitness competitor
-Is looking to hit very lean and low levels of body fat
-Is looking for information on how to dry out for stage
-Is looking for information on how to make weight for class

Whichever group you fit with will determine what you would need to read and when. Please look at the outline below to determine that for yourself. I am numbering the books in order of importance for each group.

Group A

1-The Fat Loss Troubleshoot/Fat Loss Troubleshoot Audios

2-At this point you can either do the OPT for Fat Loss Program or
use a program of your choosing with the nutritional principles of the Fat Loss Troubleshoot and can utilize the pre-made meal plans for your caloric choices to pair with your training program. For example, let’s say you want to do New Rules of Lifting, but still want to apply the Fat Loss Troubleshoot principles. No problem, simply figure out your nutrition needs based on the books (FLTS) “Activity Quiz” and then pick the meal plan to correspond with your daily needs.

or

2-If you choose to do the OPT for Fat Loss Program then you simply follow the guidelines of that program (both in training and nutrition) and go from there. The meal plans are NOT for the OPT programs. They are for the FLTS to help guide by moderate principles.

At this point the choice is yours where to go, but here is an idea from my end.

3-The Metabolic Repair Manual-This will be good for you because you will learn how not to diet down and to keep at bay any problems. You may be free of problems now, but it can be very easy to get your metabolism in trouble with bad dietary and training habits. This is a great read to show you what not to do and prepare ahead.

4-The Water Manual-A good follow up to MRM and fun to learn how to drop water weight if need in the future.

5-The Maintenance Manual-While it may seem like it is a distance away for you, it is important to be reminded of the fact that finishing a diet can be a real thing.

6-OPT Remix-You may never need or want a training program like this, but if you are starting out and this is your future then its good to know how to handle it when it comes.

Group B

1-The Fat Loss Troubleshoot/Fat Loss Troubleshoot Audios

2-The Metabolic Repair Manual-While this is likely why you bought the package, you should still start out with the FLTS first. The Metabolic Repair assumes that you have read it or understand the information in on a large level. When you start on repair trust me, you don’t want to wonder what a carb is.

After reading those two, if the Metabolic Repair Manual fits for you then you may be on a different journey for a while and following REPAIR or Metaburn (the two programs within the Metabolic Repair Manual). If this is the case then the rest of the books will become important at a later date.

Group C

1-The Fat Loss Troubleshoot/Fat Loss Troubleshoot Audios-While you may think you know it all or have nothing to learn, I assure you as simple as the book is, it isn’t that simple. Sometimes things click better when we re-open the gateway of knowledge through different words.

2-OPT Remix-Once you get where your downfalls or slip ups can be, it’s time to start your program. OPT Remix lays out training and nutrition, so no need to utilize the meal plans for FLTS while doing the program.

3-The Water Manual-If a competition or photo shoot is coming up you will need to learn the best ways to manipulate water and carbohydrates.

4-The Metabolic Repair Manual-Just so you don’t get in trouble with your shredded body, and so you can keep it that way, you need to make sure to read the MRM. Its good to learn how dieting down to lean levels can affect you.

After that the rest is for either education/fun to add to your knowledge base.

I hope that this helps you better understand how to best utilize the Fat Loss Troubleshoot Package for your needs. If you have an questions as always feel free to contact me or head over to the JP Fitness Forums to the Fat Loss Troubleshoot Section.

Lastly, if you don’t have the package yet, you can find out more information here.

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.

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.

Look everyone! It’s another audio post!


05 Nov

First off, I know things have been a bit slow this week. No, I have not been cooling my feet on a ocean floor, not yet anyway. I have been dealing with some technical stuff and hiring some more help around here. Yes, this is officially a growing company. It is all your fault!

I need a mid-week update from everyone in the challenge right now. I don’t usually harass people mid week but this is a crucial stage. I need you to answer the following questions and I am sending this to my crew as well…

-How does it feel to have a little over a week to go?
-Are you happy so far with the progress and is it helping you stay inspired?
-What are you needing the most right now to help you keep going!?

In the mean time, here are some audios.

Audio #1-Fat Loss Rapidfire Reader Request

Seems like this is going to be hear to stay for a while. It is serving to be really fun and me and Scott are learning more about each other every day. He is proving to be a pretty solid guy and I like him a lot. If you haven’t checked out his blog, please do so here.

To listen in to the latest call you can replay it here. http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=4858779

Audio#2-The FitCast Episode 110-Kevin is a Drag Queen.

All I am going to say about this is that I have a laughing fit at the end of the call because of this…

That is all I am going to say about that…go listen!

Audio #3-The Fat Loss Troubleshooter Speaks Episode 17-Say goodbye to the old, Hello to new

Say goodbye to the old, Hello to new

Here are the questions for this call and thereare some upcoming news or as Sinead would call it, “a tease” about some things to come.

(Anonymous) Question #1

Hi Leigh

I just listened to your response to my question about birthday cake and loose skin. Thanks for responding!

Since you asked for a little bit more info about me, here goes!

I started to get overweight around the age of 6 due to my mum always feeding me when I wasn’t hungry. At the age of 12, I got conscious of my weight so I started dieting. I dieted pretty much non stop until I was 18. I gained 20 – 30kg (onto my already slightly overweight frame) up until the age of 20. I then lost all the weight and at the age of 21 was at my goal weight. To maintain this weight, I was only able to eat small amounts. After a horrible break up, I gained 50kg over the course of a year. Eating was the only thing that made me happy (a broken heart can do that to you!). Probably because I had been depriving myself for so long, it felt good to eat.

I was binge eating a lot! In between binges though, I was not eating anything for 1 day to 2 weeks at a time. I felt too impatient to watch the weight go down slowly which led me to fast so extremely. I was (and still am) so sad about the body I’ve lost.

I felt like I had to do the metabolic repair program because all of my other diets just didn’t work this time around.

I was so concerned about loose skin because I have lost, gained, lost, gained and am now losing again.

Do you think the metabolic repair program isn’t suitable??

I love how you’re helping all these people Leigh! You must have a great heart!

(Anonymous) Thanks!

Anne-Question #2

LEIGH, YOU ARE AWESOME!!
Is there a section that has specs on the fat loss challenge?? I did not hear that Oct. 20 till like the 27th.(missed getting on-line to your site/podcasts at the wrong time!)  I’m sure you are going to do another challenge but I am I want/need to know person Thank you much for your continued support…

Also one last thing…

I was dieting down from Sept 8 to Oct 8 rather diligently- 1300-1500 and saw a 4Lb./ 7in. cumulative drop was feeling good  than my menses came and I have been off track ever since and real hungry. No real gains, but certainly no more losses have been achieved :( I want to get back on track. I still have more to go… can I just hop back on board and expect results as I achieve deficit or do I need to be at higher intake again to start a new go at it again later on?

Also what types of standing-vertical stability work do you suggest for abs and glutes
I hear that this type of work is more effective than traditional lye down methods. I currently am definitely at a loss for ab work but as I lose fat can begin to feel the definition is there and would like to encourage more

Blessings and Thanks so much!!
-Anne

Janice Question #3 (Regarding Metabolic Repair Program)

I got the book Rules of lifting for women, and saw on one of their forums some kind of challenge about eating all your calories at once or something like that, there was a link to you. I have been dieting on and off for 19yrs amongst other avenues of keeping the weight off, lipo, binge/purge, diet pills, excessive exercising the list goes on and on. I never really stuck with weightlifting I was all about the cardio, and even fellow gym members would comment on the intensity at which I worked out. All the while eating, usually a bar for breakfast , a salad for lunch , maybe another smaller bar and Frozen yogurt for dinner,Then after getting frustrated that I look the same or weigh the same, I say SCREW IT and eat everything in sight. I am fatter than ever.!!!!!!!!

I need to start from scratch and since re-birth is not an option, I feel this resetting of my metabolism is the best I’ve got!!!!

All I was asking was; “Is 1075 cals going to screw me up (if that’s even possible) and was I calculating correctly”.??!
And some of the prepare moves were unfamiliar to me, how does the average Joe prepare if they don’t know what to do or gym or workout lingo??!
Also how do you find the caloric values of food so that during the REST period or any stage, you can make sure you are staying within the calorie allowance??!
One last thing will it work if I eat protein bars or shakes as part of my calories, otherwise I’m not sure how to calculate my food!!!

I am really not this retarded when it comes to things but I am very nervous to give up exercise for 3 weeks.
Thank you in advance,
Janice
ps I’m 37 5′6″ 144lbs and 0, ZERO, ZIP. NADA muscles
