Healthy Ways to Lose Unwanted Fat

Anthony Colpo, a certified Australian personal trainer, explodes several nutritional myths. He deals with emotional roadblocks to longterm weight loss. He explains necessary dietary changes, and promotes exercise that will end in a doable and beneficial longterm weight control program.
Are you aware of these fat loss myths?
• Calories don’t count.
• There is no benefit to eating more protein or fat rather than carbohydrates.
• Eating fat makes you fat.
• Eating small frequent meals will help lose weight more rapidly than the standard 3 meals a day.
• Eating big meals at night makes you gain weight.
• Eating carbohydrates early in the day gives you energy.
Anthony Colpo, a certified Australian personal fitness trainer, explains the truth or fallacy in each of these points in his book The Fat Loss Bible.

Content of Colpo’s Book

The bulk of Colpo’s book deals with nutritional aspects, both what is wrong in the field and what is right. He obviously knows his field well enough to recognize poor experimental design. I will admit that the lengthy appeal to the literature in his book can make for tough reading especially for those who have no scientific background.

He has a chapter that covers the exercise required to lose weight correctly which will retain lean muscle. To attain this goal one has to buy into his approach.

It is possible to lose weight which includes lean muscle loss but be no more fit than before. One of the results may be that you stop the nutritional approach and regain all your lost weight and perhaps more. Not good at all.

What happens if you reach a plateau and can’t budge?

The author covers problems such as these, including emotional and psychological road blocks, and what to do about them. And his aim is to get you to realize that weight loss, the healthy way, is a marathon, a doable life long approach.

Proper Exercise Is Necessary For A Long Distance Successful Weight Loss Program

Colpo holds out the possibility of a body builder, 6 pack abs, and all that. This requires weight training. After reading the exercise portion of the book, and doing some calisthenics, I discovered how weak and out of shape I really am. I now feel I have to do it right, and realize I have a long way to go.

A number of reports present data that weight training for seniors as well as women has many benefits. These include arthritis relief, improved balance, control of blood sugar and weight, increased fat loss, improved sleep, aerobic capacity, and gain in lean muscle mass. This will result in better health and better self esteem.

The author assures women will never appear muscular like men. An interesting comment by a young female says she still looks like a girl even though following a rigorous program outlined by the body builder Colpo recommends in his book.

The author lays out the necessary nutritional steps, and accompanying exercises, to lose weight correctly. This retains muscle and helps reveal flat abs in men. The result is excellent physical condition in men and women.

The author describes various body fat compositions. You can choose the percentage you want. Then change the calories ingested when you reach the desired body fat composition.

If you buy only one ebook on this subject this year make The Fat Loss Bible the one. I don’t believe you’ll go wrong if you follow his recommendations.

After receiving a graduate degree in Biochemistry, the author followed the current nutritional dogma, and maintained a low fat diet for years. An East Texas cardiologist presented a "prescription" for three books. These books were Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon with Mary Enig, Ph.D, and The Modern Nutritional Diseases, by Alice and Fred Ottoboni, retired Public
Heath Service Scientists. The third book was The Cholesterol Myths by Uffe Ravnskov, M.D., Ph. D. These books led to a serious study of nutrition and disease, resulting in the website http://www.modern-diets-and-nutritional-diseases.com/.
