uestion. I’ve been following your Burn The Fat system with good results.
I’m losing body fat and maintaining my current lean mass. I’ve noticed that during my calorie deficit phase I sometimes suffer from light headedness and nausea for no particular reason but not during my maintenance phase.
I read an article that said that toxins from the food in the "typical American diet" of processed crappy foods get stored inside our fat cells along with excess dietary fat when we overeat, and when we create a calorie deficit and burn the excess fat in our bodies, we release those toxins back into the blood stream. Have you ever heard of this? Any truth to it?

Believing in the "Cardio Cures Everything" mentality is the biggest mistake that all women make when it comes to fat loss.
Let me explain…
One morning as I was walking home from the gym I passed by a young women – about 28 years old – who was talking on her iPhone. I heard her say, "I’m going for a walk now to get some exercise because I’m going out for a bad dinner tonight."
And I just wanted to yell, "No – no – no – no – no! That doesn’t work. It never has, it never will."

As a nutritionist, the most common question I get daily is "What’s the best weight loss diet plan to follow?"
My answer is always the same and one that shocks most people. "The best diet to follow is to follow NO diet at all."
How could any self-respecting nutritionist, wanting to promote health, tell you not to follow a diet plan?
Easy.

The #1 reason for not working out is? LACK OF TIME!
If you get up at 5:30am to drive an hour to work, only to get home at 6pm and then have to launch right into carting the kids around, who can blame you for not working out? Not when it takes 45 minutes to do cardio, and another 30-45 minutes for isolation bodybuilding workouts.
If that’s the way you have to exercise to lose fat, then practically no normal person is going to be able to pull that off.

Happy New Year! In this article, I’m going to predict your future and forecast exactly what kind of results you’re going to get in the next 12 months. Sylvia Browne, step aside…I’m pretty good at this.
Several years ago, a public relations firm in New York City asked me to write an article for one of their publications about fitness trends and predictions for the coming year.
It turned out that my "crystal ball" was pretty darn accurate. I nailed most of the predictions I made about aerobics classes, yoga, core training, "holistic" approaches, online personal training technology, the baby boomer market, increasing obesity and many other subjects.

Why do new year’s resolutions usually fail? Why do you start with guns blazing on January 1st, but by February, you’re losing motivation, cheating on your diet, skipping workouts, and slipping back into old patterns?
John LaValle, a master trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) suggests that we should take a closer look at the meaning behind the word "Resolution." Being derived from the word "re-solve," it really means "to solve again." And isn’t that exactly what happens? You solve the same problem again and again, year after year?
You know what I’m talking about… That 20 pounds you lost last year, and promptly gained it right back… you are now resolving to take it off again aren’t you? The very nature of the word resolution implies gaining it back again.
Suggestion: don’t make resolutions. Set S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals.

It’s 2010. Your old excuses for not getting in shape won’t work. As Dr. Evil (Austin Powers) said, ZIP IT! I don’t want to hear them anymore! Read em’, then haul your excuseless butt to the gym!
1. I have no time.
According to a story in a recent issue of Men’s Health magazine, Barack Obama works out for 45 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Obama doesn’t just play basketball either. Our new president stays fit to lead with cardio and weight lifting. He also says he wishes he could train 90 minutes a day.
Have you ever seen what the daily schedule of a U.S. president looks like? If the busiest man in the world can train every day for 45 minutes a day, then what’s your excuse? ZIP IT! You ain’t got one!

When you pause and reflect on the past decade as you look ahead to a new one, it makes you appreciate how short life is, how valuable time is and how quickly the time can pass you by – with nothing to show for it, if you don’t plan otherwise.
That’s why the passing of another decade can feel like a wake up call as much as a fresh start: Looking at the technological wonders that surround us in 2010, I can’t help thinking it feels like science fiction.
Why some succeed at weight loss and others fail.
