NEW: The Body Fat Vaccine

The other day, one of our Lean Eating coaches was vaccinated against the swine flu. And I got thinking about whether or not there's a vaccine for body fat.

Interestingly, in the study I review below, a group of researchers thinks there is. But it's not what you might expect.

NEW: Blackmail Yourself Lean

As you learned last week, we're offering 40,000 in prize money to the top men and women in our upcoming Lean Eating Coaching group.

Consider it an amazing incentive for breaking the inertia that's keeping you from getting into the best shape of your life.

Yet while this reward is pretty freakin' cool, reward only represents 1/2 of the fat loss equation.

What's the other 1/2? Punishment.

And in this video today I'm going to reveal what I've called "The Best Kept Secret in Fat Loss" - a powerful way to get leverage over yourself and virtually guarantee success.

NEW: Get Lean, Win 40K

Last year we started the Lean Eating Coaching Program, where we coach small groups of men and women for 6 months using the Precision Nutrition System and help them achieve the best fat loss results of their lives.

And the results, to date, have been nothing short of remarkable. Over 10,000 pounds of fat loss. And lives changed in the process.

This time around, we're doing something extraordinary. We're offering $40,000 in prize money - $10K for the best male body transformation, $10K for the best female body transformation, and $5K for each of four runners, up, two men and two women.

And in this video, I'm not only going to tell you why, I'm going to tell you how you can compete for it.

Two Mondays ago, we wrapped up our last Men's and Women's coaching groups for 2009.

And, as you probably know, there's $10,000 on the line for the top male body transformation and $10,000 for the top female body transformation.

Over the last few weeks, it's been our mission to chose a handful of finalists most worthy of the $20,000 in prizes.

But we've had one heckuva time.

That's why I'm reaching out to you.

I need your help in determining the 2 individuals that are gonna walk away with $20,000 of my own money.

NEW: The Exercise Myth

Today I want to tell you something that makes a lot of people uncomfortable in the fitness world. And that something is this.
Despite the fact that fitness clubs across the globe are making billions per year selling exercise as a body transforming activity, exercise just isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve been working with clients for over 15 years now. Helping them design effective and enjoyable exercise programs. And effective nutrition plans.

However, two recent studies have shown that exercise alone, isn’t all that effective for helping people lose fat, gain lean, and improve their body composition.

In this video below, I'll share with you the results of those two, rather embarrassing, studies. 1-2 lb of fat loss in 3 months?! What a joke!

Then, I'll share with you the types of results you should be seeing. 20-30lbs of fat loss in 3 months?! No problem.

NEW: The Lean Eating Method

The other day I heard a scary statistic. Apparently more than 95% of all the people who lose weight with diet and exercise, gain that weight back.

In my opinion, that's because 95% of all people have the wrong idea about how to initiate change. Especially when it's their bodies they want to change. In fact, they do things backwards.

So today, I want to share with you my top strategy for making sure you're not part of that 95%. It's called the Lean Eating Method. And if you're not using it, you're missing out on one of the most effective strategies available today for changing your body.
