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.

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

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

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

4- Lori

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!

Top 3 Reasons Your Fat Loss Still Isn’t Working


20 Jul

Why do I use the word ”still” in this post title?

Recently there has been a lot of talk of the importance of counting calories and measuring your intake. Who thinks though that it could possibly be that simple? If it were REALLY that simple, then what am I doing selling not one but two books on the subject?

Here’s the reasons it isn’t so simple:

Reason #1-Your Calories are Right, But Your Burn Isn’t

You may be counting your calories right but your idea of what your burn is can be so off that you are just spinning your wheels. Did you know that your burn can range from 60 calories an hour to 500 calories an hour depending on factors beyond just that of weight and gender? In my book, the Fat Loss Troubleshoot, I help explain how to really gauge your activity, and not only that but how to make the best of it.

Reason #2-You Have Been Doing This Too Long.

You CAN diet too much. You CAN train too hard. No, you CAN’T defy the laws of energy, but, that doesn’t mean you can’t screw up your laws of energy. If you find yourself in the position of trying to lose 10 pounds for 3 years, then it might be time to look into some real metabolism boosting. In the Metabolic Repair Manual you can see step-by-step how a metabolism works, how a slow-down really happens, and what to do to reverse it if need.

Reason #3-All Glory, No Guts.

It’s 100% acceptable that you don’t want to do this. It’s reasonable that you do not want to physically burn layers of your body off from the inside. I mean, when you think about the concept it’s pretty wicked! Who wants to do that?! However, when it’s all said and done you either do this or you don’t. You either want it or you don’t. Don’t fear jumping in, just don’t dive in head first into shallow water and crack your head.

We aren’t owed glory. Luck happens, glory is earned.
