Fat Loss Meal Plans Done For You

What could buying a wedding suit have to do with losing body fat?

A lot more than you think.

Especially when it comes to *Fat Loss Nutrition.*

I was just chatting with muscle and six-pack author, Vince DelMonte and he discovered some interesting similarities to help you BLAST YOUR FAT FASTER while he was shopping for a wedding suit.

Here’s what Vince had to share:

“I always believed that creating a custom tailored wedding suit was an extremely complex, ultra expensive and required an overly experienced and skilled tailor. Yet, I found a tailor who made the process SIMPLE.

I discovered that every custom suit begins with a SINGLE TEMPLATE. Over time the and multiple fitting and modifications, eventually the suit becomes exquisitely tailored.

=============================
My revelation can be plainly put,
the perfect suit begins as NOTHING
MORE than a one-size-fits all template.
==============================

Nutritional perfection (fat loss and muscle building), requires the same.

You need to begin with a simple, basic nutritional template and test it out; tweaking it according to the results you experience, and only you.

Only by beginning here can you arrive at the final destination – a perfect nutrition and eventually a perfect body.

=====================
There is NO magic diet plan
=====================

As you have learned the past 2-weeks, there is no magic diet book or test or “eat right for your blood type” kind of solution.

In our combined 20-years of experience in the nutrition field, the best way you can get your best body ever is to follow a meal plan that is based on concrete nutritional principles plus your own informed trial-and-error.

In other words, you begin with a BASIC NUTRITIONAL PLAN, based on the best nutrition information available, test it and modify the nutritional plan based on if you’re gaining muscle or losing fat.

The problem is that the 90% of the nutrition info available is CONFUSING, CONTRADICTING and CONSUMING.

Which is completely unnecessary and ridiculous.

============================
Getting the perfect body and perfect
meal plan must begin with an ORIGIN
============================

If you’re not prepared to put in some time, effort, discipline and pay attention to a few details, then getting and keeping a rock hard body (forever) may NOT be in the cards for you.

Sorry.

But if you agree that you need a BASIC TEMPLATE that you can begin with from which to depart, a simple “done-for-you” template that start, test and modify (if even necessary).

Today I want to DIRECT YOU to the best FAT LOSS MEAL PLANS I’ve ever seen. Vince DelMonte and Empowered Nutrition want to give you a complete 3-phase system called, “Done-For-You” Fat Loss Meal Plans.

That Six Pack Ab Look 10 Facts About Ab Training Pt2

10 Overlooked And Misunderstood Facts About Ab Training (Part Two)

By Charles Staley, B.Sc, MSS
Director, Staley Training Systems

 Last article we discussed a number of common fallacies about ab training, including belt use, diet, and force production.

This week I’ll continue with more little-known facts about your elusive six-pack.

Enjoy!

4. Training Your Abs Correctly Helps Your Back. Training Them Incorrectly Hurts Your Back

The average fitness wannabe will gravitate toward doing dozens, maybe hundreds of crunches per day. After all it worked for Brittney, right? There are at least two problems with this not so innocent approach to ab traning:

1) The reason you can’t see your abs is- you’re too fat. Why then, would you focus your training on one small muscle group that will not result in significant caloric expenditure? It’s a waste of time.

2) Actually, it’s worse than a waste of time- it could increase your chance of spinal injury. Here’s how: Over weeks, months, and years of sit-ups and crunches, your rectus abdominus is likely to chronically shorten as an adaptation to said training. Stand up right now and contract your abs, like you’re doing a standing crunch. Notice how it takes the curvature out of your lower back?

That’s what can happen when you do too many crunches and sit-ups. And when you can’t maintain a neutral spine, you’re much more likely to injure yourself the next time you lift something heavy.

A better approach is to focus more on static training for your rectus abdominus, as well as rotational ab drills, which don’t have the same potential to shorten your abs. Here are a few examples from our You Tube Channel (these links will open in new windows).

5. You May Be Training Your Abs More Than You Think

Most people under-estimate how much work their abs receive through their regular training schedule. Squats, cleans, deadlifts, snatches, farmer’s walks, kettelebell work, and even heavy dumbbell upper-body exercises result in very high levels of abdominal activation. And honestly, probably as much as you really need.

6. Your Abs Don’t Need High Reps

If and when you do decide to do direct ab training, just use normal loading scenarios, just like you would with any other exercise. Where did the high-rep myth come from? Hard to say, but I suspect is has something to do with the (also) mistaken notion that you can “melt” fat off of your midsection through lots of reps- I guess people think that since high reps make them sweat, that heat helps to burn their fat off.

This myth may also stem from the idea that the abdominal muscles are composed mostly of slow-twitch fibers, and therefore benefit most from high-repetition training. While this is at least a plausible premise, I’d also suggest that muscles should be trained based on what they need to do, as opposed to what they’re composed of. If you should happen to slip on some ice, your abs need to explosively contract to keep your spine in neutral. If you’re a discus thrower, a golfer, a tennis player, or any other rotational athlete, you need explosive abdominal functionality.

7. There Is No Direct Metabolic Pathway Between Your Abs And The Fat That Covers Them

Or to use more conventional language, there’s no such thing as isolating a muscle or sport reduction. I covered this in an earlier point, but it bears repeating: Your pattern of bodyfat deposition is genetically pre-determined. Guys tend to carry fat on their midsections (android fat deposition) and women tend to carry it on their hips and thighs (gynoid deposition). You’ll always have this pattern, no matter how lean or fat you become. So just train the large muscle groups using “big” exercise and heavy weights, and maybe add some heavy cardio (if you’re in the mood), and you should create the caloric deficit you’ll need to get leaner.

8. The Best Way To Train Abs Is With A Stability Ball

Obviously you already know part of my argument against this idea from my earlier comments, but given the popularity of stability balls lately, I thought I’d add a few remarks on the topic here. First, I actually like the ball for certain exercises, because it 1) increases the range of motion you can employ, and 2) because it’s more comfortable than the floor.

Also, the ball allows for some creative exercises, such as the ball scissors that I provided a video of earlier. With that said however, stability balls are a tool, and like all tools, they provide benefits as well as drawbacks, depending on how you use them. If, for example, you labor under the mistaken impression that you need to do thousands of crunches per week, and that the ball is better because it provides greater range of motion, all you’ll do is end up shortening your trunk flexors and lose your lordodic curvature. SO the ball’s OK, as long as you keep things in context.

9. The Best Ab Exercises Are The Ones You Can Really FEEEELLL…

Uhh, wrong. Muscles respond to the training stress they experience, not how that stress feels. Just like any other muscle. Whether or not you feel a particular exercise is inconsequential. Perhaps one of the most productive ab exercises is heavy squats while wearing a belt, but I doubt that you consciously feel your abs while doing those squats.

10. Your Abs Can Get Too Big If You Train Them Too Much

Unlikely. Actually, let’s just go with nearly impossible. The structure and function of the abdominal musculature makes this scenario highly unlikely. If you happen to subscribe to this myth based on seeing lean bodybuilders with big guts, relax: you’re looking at enlarged livers from GH and other drug use. Unless you use these substances, you won’t suffer the same fate.

That Six Pack Abs Look: 3 Key Factors

Let’s face it… building muscle is not the easiest thing to accomplish even despite regular hard workout schedules and trying every type of workout and supplement. 

I struggled for years to gain any significant muscle mass, but over the years in my personal training business and with my own experimentation have found some important things that have helped make significant muscle gains possible even for hardgainers.

So, I’m going to give 3 important tips here so you can start building lean muscle mass faster and easier.

1. Make sure that 95% of the exercises you perform regularly in the gym are big multi-joint compound exercises.  It doesn’t matter if your goal is fat loss or building muscle… big multi-joint exercises should comprise 95% of the exercises you do in your workouts if you want to get lean, ripped, and powerful.

It’s easiest to think of it in terms of the major movement patterns such as these (focus 95% of your workouts on these):

 

• upper body horizontal press (bench press, pushups, dips),
• upper body horizontal rows (1-arm dumbbell rows, seated cable rows, bent over barbell rows),
• upper body vertical pull (lat pulldowns, pullups, chinups),
• upper body vertical press (overhead dumbbell and barbell presses, barbell or kettlebell clean & presses)
• lower body squatting movements (front squats, back squats, overhead squats, bodyweight squats, etc)
• lower body deadlifting movements (regular deadlifts, sumo deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts)
• lower body single leg movements (lunges, step-ups, jump lunges, etc)
• abdominal and core exercises (these are important, but still are 2nd priority after all of the major upper body and lower body multi-joint movements… your abs and core will be worked from most major multi-joint exercises anyway)

 

The other 5% of your exercises can focus on single joint exercises (isolation exercises) such as bicep curls, tricep presses, calf presses, shoulder shrugs, shoulder lateral raises, pec flyes, etc, etc.  However, these exercises are only accessory exercises to do after the main focus has been the multi-joint drills.

2.  Train hard and intensely 3-4 days/week for 45-60 minutes per weight training workout.  Keep your workouts to no longer than 60 minutes as training too much beyond this point can trigger excess catabolism.  You want to stay anabolic, but you still need to train your body hard and intensely enough to trigger muscle growth.

Try a super-set style of workout program to maximize the intensity that you can train.  My favorite combinations are opposing upper and lower body movement patterns that don’t interfere with each other, such as squats coupled with pullups as a superset, or bench press coupled with deadlifts as a superset.

Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of these types of upper/lower body supersets done with heavy weights and a high intensity.  The first time in my life that I experienced significant muscle mass gains were when I started doing these types of workout combos regularly (although still mixing up my training variables).

These are mainstays of almost any effective workout program — caloric intake can simply be adjusted whether your goal is fat burning or gaining muscle mass.

3.  Eat clean with quality whole foods… REAL foods instead of highly processed over-hyped supplement powders and bars. 

The quality of protein (and additional nutrition from vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants) are best assimilated by the body from real whole food such as eggs, meats, dairy (preferably raw), fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc. instead of from processed protein powders, chemical-laden bars, and meal replacements.

Forget about the hyped up workouts in the muscle mags that only work for pro bodybuilders or people on steroids. Forget about the over-hyped supplement “stacks” that pay the bills for almost every muscle mag… Instead, make these tips in this article part of your lifestyle, and you’ll see muscle gains and a leaner, ripped body like you’ve never seen before!

Six Pack Abs A 3 Exercise Circuit For A Total Body Workout

Get That Six Pack Abs Look How to build some muscle to get that six pack abs look.

 Even if your goal isn’t to get six pack abs you more than likely are going for at least the flat, fat free toned abs. For too many of us it’s a dream that seems to be a never ending quest.

 Keeping with our total body conditioning workouts here are 3 exercises you can easily do at home to help with that six pack abs look.

 1) Mountain Climbers:

 Mountain Climbers should be performed in 30 seconds. How you can go about this is to lie on the floor with top push-up position. In this way, only your hands and feet are touching the floor. Then, brace your abs by flexing one of your knees and bringing it towards your chest. Return the knee to the starting position and repeat the same routine for the other knee.

 Do this in a swift tempo as though you are running or as though you are climbing a mountain for about 30 seconds.

 2) Burpees

 Stand up in a normal position as straight possible. Then slowly progress into a normal bodyweight squat. Once you reach the bottom, put your hands on the floor and throw your feet back so you are in the push-up position. Do a push-up( if your conditioning allows) return to starting position. Yeah you got it the old squat thrust from high school.

 3) Kettlebell Swing

 Stand up straight with your feet just slightly wider than your shoulders while holding one kettlebell(we are doing a two handed kettlebell swing). Flex at the hips as you swing the kettlebell between your legs. Then quickly and explosively flex your gluteus maximus (your largest muscles on your bottom) and swing the kettlebell up to chest level. Perform the kettlebell swing for about 10 reps or 20-30 seconds doing as many reps as you can..

 For a more detailed explanation and video of how to do the kettlebell swing check out Kbells The kettlebell Training Page

After you have finished with the kettlebell Swing  rest for about 20 to 30 seconds. Then start with the circuit of Mountain Climbers again and perform the whole circuit as many times as you can in 4 minutes.

 You can perform this circuit of these 3 exercises 2-3 times a week on top of your regular workout. Make this a regular workout and in a short amount of time(along with a healthy eating plan) and soon that six pack abs look will be yours.

 Remember total body tconditioning workouts like I have just showed you are the fast track to that six pack abs look.

That Six Pack Abs Look: 10 Facts About Ab Training

10 Overlooked And Misunderstood Facts About Ab Training (Part One)

June 4th, 2009 by Charles Staley
Posted in Strength Training, Weight Loss

I wanted to share this article with you by Charles Staley one of the smartest people we have in the health and fitness field today. When Mr. Staley talks training I listen.

Here are 10 of the most overlooked and misunderstood facts about abdominal training – some of these may fly in the face of what you THINK you know to be facts! Keep an open mind and read the explanations.

You may still not agree but it might just change your ideas on how your abs should be trained.

 

This is Part 1 – keep your eyes peeled for Part 2, coming soon!

1. Using A Belt Makes Your Abs Stronger, Not Weaker.

This is perhaps on of the most pervasive myths that people hold about abdominal training, and about training in general. Let’s apply some simple common sense to the issue: if you can lift more weight with a belt than without (and virtually all people can), are your abs “asleep” as many people who have you believe? Or, are they working harder than they would be without a belt?

The reason you’re stronger with a belt is that it gives your abs something to contract against. Imagine you want to train your legs and all you have is two primitive options:

1) You can “leg press” a heavy box by pushing against it with your feet while sitting on a slick floor. Or…

2) You “leg press” a heavy box by pushing it with your feet while sitting on the floor with your back against a solid wall.

Which option do you think will result in more tension for your leg muscles? Obviously the second option is far preferable, because by wedging yourself between an immovable object and a heavy moveable object, you can create a high level of tension on the muscle’s you’re trying to train.

Using a belt during heavy squats, deadlifts, or Olympic lifts works the same way- by giving your abs something to push against, they can create greater intra-abdominal pressure, allowing you to 1) lift more and 2) lift more with less chance of spinal injury.

Just having a belt however, doesn’t ensure success- you’ve gotta use it properly. The three key things to remember are:

1) Wear the belt high enough so your abs can exert pressure against it- many people wear a belt too low and rob themselves of the potential benefit

2) Don’t wear the belt too tight- a looser fit allows your abs to get better leverage against the belt. And finally…

3) Get a high quality belt- some nylon/Velcro belts won’t stand up to heavy use. Case in point: I recently purchased such a belt from my local Sports Authority and broke the buckle the first time I used it (must be my weakened abs from excessive belt use). Thinking it was a fluke, I returned the belt for a new one, and once again, broke it the first time I used it.
2. Having A 6-Pack Is About Diet, Not Training

You can train abs, all abs, nothing but abs, all the time, and still not have a six pack UNLESS- and here’s the kicker- unless you’re below 10% bodyfat. And probably you’ll need to be below 8% bodyfat. The truth is you already have abs- you just can’t see them. Since this isn’t a nutrition article, I won’t elaborate on how you should eat, so if you need help in that area, you might consider an expert nutrition consultation.

Now of course, you can drop bodyfat through training as well, but not “ab training per se:” instead, focus your efforts on challenging the largest possible muscle groups. My favorites include heavy weight circuits including a mix of Olympic lifts, power lifts, and strongman lifts.
 

3. The Main Function Of Your Abs Is Not Force Production

Although the abdominal muscles can and do function to flex and rotate the trunk, I’d argue that their primary function is to prevent unwanted motion. Specifically, strong abs help to protect the spine in two ways:

1) They create intra-abdominal pressure which helps to counteract compressive forces resulting from axial loading (e.g., squats, deadlifts)

2) They help to prevent forces that take the spine out of its preferred neutral position. More on this in the second installment next time….

Some very key points here for getting that six pack abs look.

I will be posting part 2 of this article for you real soon so check back.

Six Pack Abs Losing Body Fat The Lies And Gimmicks

Despite the misleading infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body and six pack abs by using that “ab contraption”… they got their perfect body through REAL total body conditioning workouts and REAL nutrition strategies.

You should know by now that spot reduction is a myth. No amount of ab exercises or using the ab gadjets will get you six pack abs or serious loss of body fat. Only by total body conditioning and healthy eating will you burn off that unwanted body fat that will then allow your abs to show.
Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks… they’re all a complete waste of your time and money and won’t get you six pack abs. Those marathon treadmill sessions forget them they are of some use but there is a much less time consuming way.

Six pack abs and permanent body fat loss are obtained with the use of total body conditioning with the use of compound exercises.

What are compound exercises? They are exercises that use multiple muscle groups.

*Squats
*Deadlifts
*Bench Presses
*Cleans
*Clean and Presses
*Pull-ups
*Dips

For the ultimate in lean muscle gain and to lose body fat these are the exercises you should be using. You could put together a workout of 3-5 of theses exercises 3 times a week and you would have an excellant total body conditioning workout. Oh and by the way theses workouts shouldn’t take you more than 40-45 minutes.
By focusing more on multi-joint compound exercise as opposed to single-joint muscle isolation, you not only burn a lot more calories during each workout, but you also increase your metabolic rate, and stimulate production of more fat burning and muscle building hormones like growth hormone and testosterone.

Using compound exercises is proven to increase your metabolism which in turn is causing you to lose body fat long after your workout is over. Having lean muscle as opposed to higher levels of body fat causes body fat loss at a higher and faster rate.

Losing That Unwanted Body Fat means you finally having that Six Pack Abs look

Over the last 10 years, scientific research has indicated a couple of very important things to us about exercising for body fat loss. First of all, lifting heavier weights while exercising leads to a higher caloric consumption by the body in the period for about 1-2 days following the workout when compared to lifting light weights with high repetitions. So that’s why 6-8 repetitions per set is better than 12-15 reps per set when it comes to stimulating the metabolism for losing body fat permanently.

Here’s a total body conditioning workout you can start using today.

1- Barbell Deadlifts Back, Legs, Abs, Delts, Grip and cardio all get worked during deadlifts – A must do exercise in your workouts.

2 – Dips no dipping bars? do them between 2 chairs. Chest, Triceps and Delts get work.

3 – Squats another  must. Use a barbell. Legs, Abs, Hamstrings, Glutes and Cardio all get worked.

4 – Dumbbell or Kettlebell snatch Glutes, Hams, Back, Delts and Cardio.

Total Body conditioning short(not easy)but very effective and efficient for losing body fat gaining lean muscle for that six pack abs look.

Ab Truth: Six Pack Abs And A Chili Recipe

Ab Truth today we have a healthy chili recipe from Mike Geary.

I was surprised to find that many people don’t realize that chili can be a very healthy meal. If you follow my recipe, you’ll get a satisfying and tasty meal with a good macro-nutrient balance (prot-carb-fat ratio) that is also full of a diverse array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Enjoy!

Geary’s Hard-Body Chili Recipe:

• 1.5 lbs lean ground meat (I like to use ground buffalo, ostrich, or grass-fed beef, but lean ground turkey can work also)
• 1 large red pepper diced
• 5-6 jalapeno peppers diced (adjust based on your desired “hotness”)
• 2 onions diced
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large can crushed tomatoes
• 1 can of kidney beans or black beans (good source of antioxidants and fiber)
• half a bag of frozen corn
• 2 tbsp molasses (this is a good source of antioxidants, adds great flavor, and only adds minimal sugar)
• 1 or 2 tbsp of chili powder
• 1 or 2 tsp of cumin
• 1 or 2 tbsp of crushed garlic
• 1/2 cup oat bran (adds fiber and also helps soak up some of the extra moisture)
• I also like to add some fresh chopped cilantro while it’s cooking
• 1 ripe avocado (for use as a topping after chili is cooked)
• 1 bag of reduced fat cheddar cheese (topping after cooked)

Use a large pot and start with the olive oil and ground meat cooking. Just start adding all of the diced vegetables and other ingredients as you get them ready. Once it’s all together and cooking in the pot, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes. Top each bowl with freshly diced ripe avocado (more satisfying healthy fats) and sprinkle with some low-fat cheddar cheese. You’ve got an awesome hot delicious meal! This recipe makes about 6 servings. Save the leftovers and bring healthy lunches or midmeals with you to work each day.

Approximate macro-nutrient breakdown per serving:
35 g. protein, 45 g. carbs, 8 g. fiber, 14 g. fat (all healthy fat), 430 calories

Also from Mike A Non Traditional Ab Workout

Kettlebell Training – You’ve probably heard me praise kettlebell training many times before, but I will have to reiterate that it has been one of the best training methods that I’ve ever tried and has taken my physical capabilities to a whole new level. Kettlebells are an alternative type of free-weight training instead of barbells and dumbbells. Their unique construction and weight distribution (basically a cannonball with a handle) allows for a whole different realm of exercises that’s available compared to dumbbells and barbells.

Kettlebells have been typically used for training hard-core athletes, military units, martial arts competitors, and other tough individuals, but there is no reason that anybody looking to get stronger, bigger, or more cut can’t learn the exercises and benefit from them. It’s been a little over a year now since I’ve incorporated kettlebell training into my routines, and I’ll admit that I’m hooked for life! At between $100-$150 per kettlebell, they are definitely not cheap, but they are well worth the money. Just one or two kettlebells and you’ve literally got yourself an entire home gym that you can use for the rest of your life…worth every penny in my opinion! Check out some more info about body-hardening kettlebells here.

Six Pack Abs – Forget The Gimmicks – Total Body Conditioning

Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks… they’re all a complete waste of your time and money and won’t get you six pack abs. Despite the misleading infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using that “ab contraption”… they got their perfect body through REAL workouts and REAL nutrition strategies.

You should know by now that spot reduction is a myth. No amount of ab exercises or using the ab gadjets will show your abs. Only by total body conditioning and healthy eating will you burn off that unwanted body fat that will then allow your abs to show.

Here’s a couple of questions I asked Mike Geary of The Truth About Abs program.

Mike … What is one thing I might be doing, unknowningly, steering my quest for  six pack abs in the wrong direction?

MG:  I’ll give 2 things that may be steering you in the wrong direction…

a. Too much cardio

Some people, in their efforts to try to get lean, focus way too much on hours and hours of cardio exercise. The problem is that this can backfire on you by making you lose lean muscle mass over time, which decreases your resting metabolic rate.

 Once this happens, it becomes easier to pack on body fat than ever before.  I’ve even seen many people that do too much cardio and end up getting that “skinny fat” appearance, where they have very little muscle tone, yet they have excess stomach fat (even a “gut” possibly).

Instead of excess cardio, focus more on high intensity weight training (yes, even during a “cutting” cycle). This will help maintain your lean muscle mass throughout your body, so that you don’t experience the metabolic rate decrease.

Maintaining as much lean muscle mass on your body at all times is one of the most important things for staying super-lean for life.

b. Not eating enough healthy fats

This is another area where I see people go in the wrong direction. They are trying to lose body fat and they end up going WAY too low on their fat intake.

 When you decrease your fat intake too much, you are basically messing up your fat burning and muscle building hormones. It’s not uncommon to see people decrease their fat intake too low and end up reducing their testosterone levels significantly.

Try to get some sources of healthy fats with every meal to make sure you don’t go too low… This could be avocados, any and all nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc), seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds), nut butters (almond butter, natural peanut butter, etc), virgin coconut oil (good source of medium chain triglycerides), extra virgin olive oil, grass fed beef (good source of conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3s), whole eggs (yes, whole eggs…not egg whites), etc.

What is one unique way of boosting your metabolism, to finally burn fat, that I might be overlooking?

MG:  Incorporate any form of clean & presses into your routines twice per week. This could be barbell clean & presses or using kettlebells or dumbbells. 

 If I had to choose one exercise that burns the most calories and has the biggest impact on increasing your metabolic rate, I’d have to choose high intensity clean & presses (with squats and deadlifts being at the top of the pack also).  I like alternating the use of barbells for C&P’s one workout and kettlebells for another.

Thanks Mike for your time and expert advice.

I wanted to let you in on a special offer for the Truth About Abs.

Instead of the normal $39.95 price of the Truth About Six Pack Abs Program, Mike is willing to let you download and test out the entire system for only $4.95 for a 21-day Trial period.   That’s less than you’d pay for some greasy lunch at your corner store.  Why not do something that will improve your body instead!

You can then see for yourself exactly why this WILL work for you and if you decide that it isn’t working for you, you can simply cancel the Trial.

You won’t just get a portion of the system like some other companies will fool you into for a “trial” offer.  With this trial offer, you get access to the entire fat-burning, ab-sculpting nutrition and training system.

That means, you have absolutely nothing to risk, and in just a few minutes, you’ll gain access to this unique system and see why it is WAY different than any other ab training or fat loss gimmicky products that are “out there” these days.
