Sometimes smart people do stupid things, so don’t fall for these stupid myths
1. "Doing weights will bulk me up."
Truth: Muscle is denser than fat and thus takes up less room, so two people who weigh the same can look much different if one has a higher ratio of lean muscle mass to fat. Check out this example: Same women, same weight…
See the difference?
Also, the ONLY way to ever bulk up, is to eat more calories than what you burn off…This makes you gain weight mostly as FAT!
Here is something that the scientific community has known for a long time: eating less extends life.
But eating less sucks right? Keep reading…
Caloric restriction (eating less calories) leading to longer life has been extensively tested and proven in fuzzy things that don’t live all that long – like rats. As a matter of fact caloric restriction extended the life of some lab rats by as much as 40%.
(As if being a lab rat wasn’t sucky enough – these guys didn’t get to eat much either.)
It happens to me every week. Without fail I get numerous emails and new clients who come to me and are utterly confused about their lack of progress.
They say essentially the same thing: “I walk on my treadmill every day for 45 minutes and yet I am not losing any weight.”
or…
“But I take my dog for a walk around my neighborhood every day…”
My answer is more or less always the same : “ That’s because walking is for suckers.”
Walking is great for getting you from here to there, but for fat loss it is a giant waste of time.
Dear Evolution-
(Can I call you E? I’m gonna call you E.)
So E, I have some tough things I need to discuss with you. This might be hard for you to hear, but it is important that you listen with an open mind.
Before I get into it, I’ll start by saying some nice things.
So I’ll being with this: Opposable thumbs rock. Let me just say how much I enjoy my thumbs. I use them almost daily. Being able to easily grab stuff really makes my life much easier. It is almost effortless!
Information rules the world. The more information you have the better off you are. But we run into problems when the information we get conflicts. This comes up time and time again in the health & fitness game. High carb, low carb, high reps, low reps, yes cardio, no cardio. And it goes on and on. Well that my friends is why I write these newsletters – to give you the best, most accurate and up to date information possible. You know who I am and where to find me, and hopefully you have come to trust what I tell you. Plus I back up what I say with results. So in this article I will be telling you why standard cardio is a lousy fat loss tool- and why I am right and everyone else is wrong (unless they agree with me 
).
