Q. Do fat burners work and have you heard about Ackovar?

A. There are so many so called fat burners out there that it's challenging to keep up with all of them. I have had a few women ask me if I have heard of Ackovar and if it works. The truth is I don't even need to google it to tell you that NO it doesn't work. All of those ads you see about fat burning supplements where the women are extremely lean didn't get that way not by taking that supplement. They got that way by training and eating the right way. They put in their time and effort into the gym and planning their meals. I know because in order to get my body super lean I have to put in the work that is required and there are no shortcuts.

There are so many supplement companies out there that are trying to sell you on their product claiming that it will help you achieve this look. Unfortunately, they are falsely misleading many women. If you look at the small print in any of these ads it will always say this:

"Results NOT typical" and that supplement X was taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise.

My advice is save your money and invest it in a program that works, and one that doesn't require popping pills to get you slim. One of the reasons I created The 6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering System For Women, was that I was sick and tired of women being scammed into these latest diet crazes or pills that simply just don't work!

The only fat burning supplement that you will ever need is a solid program and taking daily inspired action towards your goal!

Q. How do I stop my sugar cravings? (from Chris)

A. Any time you have a sugar craving it's due to an imbalance
in your nutrition. I would first look at your nutrition to see exactly what you are eating.
Here are some key things to keep in mind:

Eating sugar makes you crave MORE sugar
Too much artificial sweetners can trigger cravings
Not eating enough protein
Not eating enough fiber (from your veggies)
Not drinking enough water (coffee doesn't count as water either)
Drinking too many sodas or even diet soda/ energy drinks
Eating too many refined carbohydrates (like breads or crackers)

The key is have a balance in your program and when you do you won't
find yourself craving sweets all the time.

I find the secret is to just give yourself a day to have what you want because
if you do tell yourself that you can't have anything it will only make your cravings
even more intense. I find sometimes just having a bite of something sweet helps
the cravings under control.

Q. Where do I begin (from Anna)

A. If you are for the first time trying to figure out the SECRET
to achieving the body you want and feel overwhelmed then you are not alone.

There are so many programs out there and it's no wonder why you are feeling that way.
Most programs target quick fixes and fast weight loss which are not permanent solutions.

Here are the 4 keys when starting a new program to change your body:

1. Keep it simple- So many women like to complicate things when they are first implementing a new exercise and nutrition program. If you learn to just keep it as simple as possible you will get results. I know for a fact that this works because I have use this exact principle in my system.

2. Do something that moves you closer to your goal every day! Simply planning for your day is huge. This is everything from the time you get up to when you go to bed at night. If you have a busy day simply plan the night before by preparing your meals to take with you for the day. Also, plan out an exercise schedule for the week and stick to it.

3. Focus your attention on what you want. If you are constantly complaining about what your body looks like how do you think it will ever change? Focus your energy on what the vision of your ideal body is and hold onto that until it happens. I assure you it will happen much faster than you ever imagined!

4. Measure your progress. I don't mean the scale either! The scale is a worthless piece of garbage and does nothing for your self-esteem. Go by how you feel everyday and how your clothes are fitting. Try on clothes that are too tight about every 2-3 weeks. If they keep getting looser than stick to what you are doing.

Q. How does cardio interfere with muscle building? (from Nikki)

A. Cardio can interfere with muscle ONLY if you are doing too much
and not eating enough. If you are not eating enough to support your muscle then cardio will have a negative effect. Look at marathon runners, their bodies are gauntly skinny with very little muscle tone because they are essentially running off their muscles. Other the other hand, if you look at a sprinter's body they are lean with muscle.

Look to see how much you are eating per day and that you are eating enough to support your lean muscle.

Make sure you add interval cardio session to longer sessions. Doing all steady state
cardio not only will your body adapt but is not as efficient in burning fat than intervals.

It's a good idea to have a mix of both. I highly recommend cardio in addition to your weight training program, especially if you are looking to burn more fat. I actually teach clients to build their metabolism and not to drastically cut calories which will result in a slower metabolism and muscle loss.

Remember more lean muscle= FASTER METABOLISM

The amount of cardio you should do will depend on your goals. There is no one size fits all program. If you aren't seeing result in at least 4 weeks of on a specific program then you need to switch things up.

Have a great week ;)

Q.How do I tell my wife I want to workout with her? (from Frank)

A. I love this question and I do get emails from men that want to know how they can encourage their wives or girlfriends to workout together.
No matter who it is here are some important things to consider....

Make sure you never come from forcing someone to workout with you learn how to communicate to them in terms of their values and not yours.

What I mean by this is let's say you want your wife to workout with you because you feel she needs to lose weight and you tell her that. Chances are she will react in a negative way and there goes her self worth. Find out what she values or if it's your husband or boyfriend you can do the same.

For example, if your wife values having new clothes you could say "Honey, I know how much you love buying new outfits and I would love to take you shopping when you look and feel your best....are you open to me showing you how to do that?"

The same thing can be applied if you are a woman and communicating it terms of
your man's values. Just find out what is important to him and speak to him in a way
that makes sense.

You can't force someone to do anything and if you try it will only repel them away from you. Always comes from love, support, and learning to communicate in terms of what they value. That's why most marriages or relationships fail because we are so consumed about how we think our mate should act and not stop to realize it's in the
delivery of our message that counts.

I receive many questions about how to stay motivated in achieving your ideal body and some women say they will give up because they have tried everything and nothing has worked.

Do you want to know how fit women think and why they are successful?

One of the SECRETS is the decision to take inspired action everyday towards your goals and not wishing or hoping your body will change.

Asking yourself the question everyday of "What do I need to do today that will keep me focused?" is a great start. I find women like to complicate things and when they do take no action. If you are one of those women who tends to analyze everything...then stop!

Your mind is the only thing that stops you from achieving your ideal body and that's why
developing a laser focused mindset is the REAL SECRET. I know because I have had to go through the exact process myself. When I beat myself up my body stayed stuck..when I took inspired action my body started changing.

You may be inspired to look like the latest celebrity which can be great, however, if you feel you are obsessive then it's time to reevaluate what your ideal body should look like and not what you see in a magazine or TV.

Stay the course and know that creating your ideal body is an inside job!

Q. What are the best fat burning foods? (from Maria)

A. Some of the best fat burning foods that I list in my 6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering Systemare the following:

Oatmeal
Brown rice
Lean chicken
Fish
Green beans

When eating these foods can help you feel great while burning the fat. However, it's the total caloric intake that is the most important. You can create a balance while still enjoying your favorite foods which includes pizza.

There are several way you can do this:

Have what I call a "flavor flash"- this is simply a taste of whatever you want everyday
Design a free meal each week- whatever you want have it (however this does not mean eating an entire gallon of ice cream)
Mix up high and low calorie days- This helps you not only to eat more but helps a sluggish metabolism.

Have a great week!

Q. What is the key to losing fat all over my body.
from Andrea

A. It's a combination of things. If you're looking for a quick fix then forget about it. Here are the top 4 keys to releasing unwanted body fat!

1. Having a strong WHY for doing it. If you come up with generic reasons such as improving health and fitting into a smaller size chances are you won't stick with it. Your inspiring reason why needs to be POWERFUL. Come up with a list of your WHYS and
if you start to feel inspired then you know you are on the right path.

2. Create a plan that works for you. If you have tried many diet programs and they still haven't worked it's because you are thinking short term. Creating a powerful plan that will allow you to melt body fat should be something you can live with. That's why diets never work in the long run.

3. Measuring feedback. If you are on the same program for about 4 weeks and nothing is happening you need to change things up. Sometimes that means shifting calories and or going up in calories or down (create a free account on www.fitday.com to see how much you are eating a day), changing workouts, and/or cardio. Also note it's not the weight on the scale that determines that you are on the right path! Instead, check body fat, how your clothes are fitting, and how you feel.

4. Feed your mind. This is the most important factor when creating your ideal body. No plan will work if your mind is constantly saying:

"I can't do this"
"I am fat"
"I hate my body"
"It's always been hard for me"
"It's my age"
"It's my genetics"

You mind has the power to program you for success or fail...you chose!
If your dominant thought throughout the day is obsessing about your body then
you should ONLY focus on changing those thought patterns.

That's why I created the 6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering System because it addresses all of these issues.
