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.

PB2 News-PB2 is now 85% less fat

I know it is an old picture, but the news is true!

Some of you may be thinking that my statement of “less fat” is a time warp back into the 1980’s. Let me get this out of the way now, so that I can get to the good stuff.

Fat is good. We love fat. We need fat.

The only reason I care is because less fat will mean less calories, more peanut butter flavor, and it helps for those dieting down on smaller calories. Good? Got it?

It seems like that not only did you, my readers, like my Fitcast appearance (my email has been blowing up) but PB2 themselves liked my Fitcast appearance. I want to give a “thank you” to Bell Plantation for kind words and I hope that they and you enjoy the recipe I shared on the show.

Peanut butter, in all forms, will one day rule the world!

I had a great time chatting with Kevin and Tony. I wanted to give you a preview of what we discussed and I have two words for you. Turkey Titties.

I swear I found this by typing in that.

Whatever gets you there, just go there! If you are inspired to buy either of the books because of the episode (and my brilliance) do me a favor and get it through Kevin’s link on his site.

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!

3 Ways To Get Peanut Butter (without all the calories)!

Any one that knows me, heck, even some of my clients know that I have a serious problem with peanut butter. Complete addict. I have even blogged about it before.

A recent question from one of my readers left me wanting to bring this issue back to light, but with new info.

Question:

Leigh,

I absolutely LOVE peanut butter but tend to over-consume it when I
eat it. I always intend to eat only a serving and end up 2-3+. No,
it’s not the end of the world but it can make the difference in how
much of a deficit I create that day.

I often read that it’s best to just enjoy the food and if you allow
it more frequently it will become less tempting. Likewise, many say
simply remove the temptation from your pantry.

I know it’s not like I’m binging on chocolate bars everyday but it
can affect my progress. What do you tell your clients who battle this
type of problem?

Thanks,
Rachel

Answer:

Rachel, and readers…

The solution to you problems are here with me.

Now obviously if you have a PB addiction you at some point might have to weigh getting it out of the house, but first I suggest trying these alternatives.

1-Peanut Butter and Fat Free Cream Cheese

Mix your Peanut Butter with some Fat Free Cream Cheese (maybe add a little Splenda for sweetness) and you just doubled the amount of peanut butter goodness. FF Cream Cheese only has 30 calories per serving. This one is the big winner for low calories and high in protein/fat combo. Great for pre-bed.

2-PB2 and Better Butter Combo

PB2 is a de-fated dehydrated Peanut Butter. Better n Peanut Butter is a de-fated jarred peanut butter. Mixed together with some milk and you have LOADS of peanut butter yummy. The only draw back is low in the good fats but if looking for the taste this is a big winner.

3-Peanut Butter “Ice Cream” Recipe

INGREDIENTS

� 1 cup of cottage cheese (non-fat)
� 2 tbsp natty peanut butter of choice
� 1/4 cup of splenda
� 1 1/2 tbsp of cocoa powder
� sprinkle of salt (or salt substitute)

DIRECTIONS

Mix all together, put in a Tupperware container/bowl. Leave in freezer for 1 hour, after that leave in the back of the fridge.

For Whole Container
Calories: 355
Protein: 40
Fat: 17
Carbs: 7

Yum!
