5 Solutions to TRIPLE Fat Loss Results

Pretty cool infos mate :)
Loved that Will Smith speech collage as well, it applies to everything.

very, very educational.

@Alex –

glad you liked it!

yeah, that will smith video pumps me up every time i watch it – glad it did the same for you!

@Ritu –

glad to help you, Ritu :-)

This was one of my favorite reads recently. Thanks so much for taking the time to help us, Dr. K!

Hey, this is really interesting stuff. It seems that anyone would want to learn it even if they have no need to lose fat (which I don’t), but just want to get into shape or keep their body fit. Further, anyone who wants to know their body better would be interested in this. That is where I would be coming from. I have a background in eastern traditions (soft practices) but have a number of friends with weight problems. My kind of training is too far of a reach for them, but your kind seems quite accessible. I am excited about this.
Thanks for your generosity!

Hey Dr. K..Great info you’ve given there and I’m really curious and excited about this whole new way of looking at fitness..I feel that I do have muscular imbalances that are holding me back from achieving what I can..So I’m really excited about the whole system to correct that and incorporate that into a fat loss routine!..By the way how much does the whole Double Edged Fat Loss system cost?..

I am wondering if there i s a connection with brain gyms used to stimulate neuron production across both the right and left sides of the brain? Have you done any of these in conjunction with the program? See,to be a logical fit. AMazing work Dr. K.

Dr. K…
Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with a consistent and nagging IT Band issue??? Its like i have 2 big knots and it is starting to even effect my hip. It is preventing me from training the way I would like to.

I use the foam roller, get massages, stretch…i just cant get past it. It started after my knee surgery and has yet to get better. I am a Personal Trainer and Group Ex. Instructor. When I teach cycling, it seems to aggravate it more.

Any ideas or suggestions? Clearly something is unbalanced but I cannot figure it out.

Thanks a ton!

Kareem, Wow, So much information, so little time to study but I seem to
be drawn back to it because its so interesting. Thanks for sharing
your knowledge with us and thanks for your generosity; its cost us
nothing and seems to be so valuable. I think just with the info you
have provided so far i’m way ahead of the pack. Good luck with DEFL,
I know its going to be successful. Hope I can benefit from it but as
always, the bottom line will be the decider. Cheers James

That makes SO much sense – and I’m looking forward to finally using my textbooks again;) And Will Smith – that explains his amazing level of success and achievement.

Is the audio portion of the program available – where can I find it?

Solutions #2: movement complexes sounds almost exactly like what I have been trying with John Romaniello’s “bodycomp blitz” which has his “7 Deadly Workouts”, or Craig Ballantyne’s “turbulence training”. Both cases basically have me doing super sets, where I do multiple exercises back to back with the same equipment and no rest with in the set. If you take a look at those examples, how can I modify them to meet your other solutions? Btw, thanks Joel for sending me John’s, Craig’s and vince’s workouts last December! over 7 weeks I was able to lose fat while gaining muscle

That Will smith part was good, thanks Dr K, you should check out Bruce lee’s lines too in his documentary, it’s cool stuff for the mindset,

Hello Kareem. Thankyou for sharing your fantastic knowledge. I’m a mother (in my thirties) of six children, but I was once a physiotherapist (in another life!) and I’m fully appreciative of how you’ve applied your learning, along with your clinical experience, to offer such a comprehensive package. You’re also blessed to have tremendous presentation skills, charisma and the ability to ‘teach’ so well. Congratulations! Anyhow, I’m interested, Kareem, on how you incorporate stretching into your program to maximise tissue health. In your experience do you feel prescriptive stretching of muscles is the best adjunct to your program or do you think that regular participation in a discipline like yoga (which I’ve never done) would be more beneficial? Maybe both? Is stretching something you will present later? Thanks for your thoughts. Regards, Lucy

I am very interested in this program. as someone with a bad knee I really struggle with some workouts : there is a very fine line between pushing hard enough to acheive results and having pushed too hard so that now you have an injury and can’t work out.

Educational stuff, pretty good angle, and the enthusiasm is probably a result of self belief in his peers, mixed with personal experience. However, he is missing the point. Your nervous and lymphatic systems react to diet, more than exertion. Fat loss is f234ing easier than this. Efficient carnitine shutle/ glucose delivery is enhanced by increasing dimensional muscle stimulation, this is true. The blood sugar level is influenced and stored fat will be used for energy, however, your diet is essential for the nervous system. Young trainers with youthful energy flows, always seem to neglect real health in the presence of influential bias.

I have a regular routine that includes days-off in my weekly training. If I wanted to try the two programs you showed in the top two paragraphs, would i switch out my regular routine for a day to do them? or include them with my current work out?

Thanks for sharing!

Another great article!! Very educational and it totally makes sense to exercise to help your body move more effectively & efficiently while reducing injury! Can’t wait!!

Looks like you are on the right track with this approach to training, fitness, and fat loss. These are almost the exact principles that I use with all my athletes and clients. Without addressing these essential principles, your training results will probably not produce effective results.

@Mike –

You’re welcome, Mike!

@ion –

My pleasure, Ion.

Very happy to help :-)

…and, yes, you’re right – this applies to EVERYONE – seriously. (very astute of you)

@Paul –

Hey Paul,

Glad you’re so excited! (me too)

you’re definitely on the right path with your thinking, and i’m very excited to work with you – stay tuned, b/c i wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise :-)

@MNMAC (Mark) –

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the kind words – I’m humbled….

Brain gyms? that’s a new one for me… where can I learn more?

have a great day and please stay in touch,

Kareem

@Steph –

Hey Steph,

got your email too :-)

my guess… and only a guess without seeing you, is that is starting at L5-S1 with some sort of nerve impingement going on there… i’d work on posterior pelvic tilts (in the exercise video database that comes with DEFL) – if it keeps getting tight and you’re sitting on that area during cycling, makes intuitive sense to me…

kill the oversignaling, kill the tightness… then work on restoration. make sense?

i look forward to working with you,

-k

@Jim –

Hey James,

You’re very welcome!

Don’t worry, I’m here for you either way – naturally, I can work with you a lot more personally on the inside of the program, but that’s only b/c I believe in delivering 110% to every client that I train – that’s what this is, by the way, this IS personal training – this isn’t “just a program”

i look forward to working with you – please stay in touch!

@Leslie –

Great Leslie!

Keep the passion coming :-)

@Thomas Whinihan –

Hi Thomas,

you’re dead on about the training strategy – very similar – slightly different… just b/c of the neuro-integration thing here – i’m not sure I understand your question, though… I wouldn’t modify their workouts to accomplish this – I’d create different ones… they just fundamentally have different purposes. Fat Loss vs Neuro Fat Loss

they both accomplish fat loss, but the second one does it with a long list of about 20 rules that make it work for Neuro integration (not to take away from John, Vince & Craig’s – awesome programs by the way!)

am i making any sense?

@Khalifa –

cool – will do Khalifa – glad you enjoyed :-)

@Lucy –

hey Lucy,

Great to hear from you!

Love your excitement – I can almost hear it!

Stretching is interesting… I believe more in mobility based exercise. Stretching has its role, but active movement is more functional for getting loose with… well, active movement.

So, heavy lifting and ‘mobility-based training’ should be kept separate, but when you are lifting with a greater emphasis on endurance, doing things that cautiously challenge end-range movement creates greater functional benefit.

That said, I have an entire section of the Exercise Video Database that comes with DEFL that will teach you about mobility vs. flexibility – feel free to let me know if you have any questions after you’ve had a chance to take a look, ok?

have a great day and please stay in touch,

Kareem

@Heather –

Very true, Heather, and thanks for your interest. I think you’ll be particularly interested to watch & learn from the fat loss webinar titled ‘Exercising Around An Injury – Your Newfound Opportunity To Be In The Best Shape Of Your Life”

hope you enjoy :-)

stay in touch,

-k

@trish –

Hey Trish,

For now, I’d add them on, not switch them out – see how your body feels and then make adjustments – make sense?

have a great day,

Kareem

@MB –

Awesome MB! very glad you enjoyed it – looking forward to helping you reach your fat loss & fitness goals,

Kareem

Is there any scientific research to support any of these claims?

Hey Dr.K I have a few questions, hope you don’t mind.
I’ve been working out say..2 and a half years now (obviously nothing compared to what others have but I am only 18) But I was wondering out of pure curiosity as I listened to the webcall between yourself Vince and Joel I heard you mention about when the right time was to integrate this kind of stuff into your workouts. apparently not right at the start? But then I got a little confused because I thought the Idea was that if you start working out from the CNS first and enhance how your able to “use all the wires effectively” surely this would be a great place to start as you have no wasted effort anywhere else?

Another question was how often someone should complete the exercises shown above? Say maybe every day, or would this overtire some muscles as apparently core muscles need more time to rebuild compared to others as otherwise you can injure yourself more easily? Or some crap like that?

Thirdly and lastly I was wondering when you were going to post anything on how to create your own plans? (I only say ‘when’ because you said this was the reason for the ‘double’ edged fatloss name)

Any answers would be great man, and all of this is massively appreciated.
Cheers!

@Eric –

Hey Eric,

Thanks for bringing this up!

Sure there is… but way too much to list here!

Remember, this is an integration of techniques/theories that I’ve learned and practiced for 11 years now. So, it’s a bit complicated to list it all out, but my practice, Global Fitness LLC is in the process of initiating retroactive case studies looking at the finer details of Neuro Fat Loss, Patient/Client Communication, our proprietary SMART program (self myofascial active release therapy), as well as neurofacilatory techniques with exercise programming.

Here is a list of reliable authors/resources if you’d like to learn more:

Schmidt – Motor Learning
Neumann – Biomechanics
PNF For Strengthening
NDT (neuro diagnostic technique) with guiding & rotational emphasis
Cosgrove – Fat Loss
Cressey – everything – that guy is a genius!

… the list goes on, but that’ll keep you busy for about 1000 articles or so ;-0

I’ve read them all, read their text books, and taken the classes. I believe in learning everything, because that ultimately determines the quality of care I provide my client, YOU.

Hope this helps!

@ion – what do you mean soft practices training and how it is a far reach for most people? What kind of training do you do? please advise thanks

Hi Dr K. I broke my arm (upper humerus) last August. It sounds like you’re saying that I won’t get any progress (or very little progress) in weight management and/or lower body strength until the right shoulder/arm is completely balanced with the left and also balanced with the leg strength. Am I understanding you correctly?

Hi Dr. K,

Are you currently doing any type of clinical studies? If so how do I sign up? I am actually currently going back to school to get accepted into a Masters program for Nutrition and have lived a healthy active life style oh since I was about 11 yr old :) Also I would love to learn more about your program, where can we purchase it, how much is it and also where can I learn how to make the exercise plans myself to ensure a full body fat loss workout. I also wanted to thank you for being so inspiring because at times I wonder if I am making the right decision going back to school and it is information like this that keeps me intrigued and ensures me that I am on the right path :)

Big thanks to Joel as well,

Aubreigh

it is your hip that is the focul point here. You actually have hip issues that are preventing you IT band from proper function.

Because your knees are weak, that means your hips are working overtime. Just like if one has weak ankles… what compensates for that is your knees.

Look at your hips, stregthen them, stretch and stabilize and you will soon se your IT band get better.

@Ben –

Hey Ben,

Great questions!

1) i was referring to very complicated movements in the teleseminar when I said that – you can start incorporating muscle balancing & CNS ‘speak’ right away! Does this clarify?

2) Your true core is comprised of the following muscles:

Internal Oblique
External Oblique
Transversus Abdominus
Psoas
Multifidus
…and sometimes it’s thought that your Quadratus Lumborum is also included.

most importantly, these muscles turn ‘on’ and can stay ‘on’ for the whole day/multiple days. They are called ‘tonic’ muscles, meaning they can hold tone for long periods of time.

As such, unless you are lifting them for pure strength (i.e. 6 reps or less) you wouldn’t need a day of rest. They have to be prepared to help you all the time, not just on the days you workout. Make sense?

3) As for teaching the methods, you’ll love what I have planned for you on Tuesday – be sure to email Joel if you don’t see a link sooner – feel free to badger him if you like, as well… send him like 6 emails… that would be more fun :-)

looking forward to working with you,

-k

@marilyn –

actually, no – you can use this injury to burn fat faster. I talk all about this in my ‘Exercising Around An Injury’ webinar in DEFL, but your body will want you to focus time on healing that injury before it will let you grow a massive other arm.

Does this make sense?

I’m ready to show you what to do if you’re ready and willing,

-k

@Aubreigh –

Hey Aubreigh,

Keep up the great work!

I’m glad I’ve inspired you – YOU just made MY day!

Thank you for these kind words…

As for clinical trials, not yet, but they’ll happen – be sure to stay in touch :-)

looking forward to jump-starting your nursing career with DEFL,

hi, I’ve been reading and listening to the things on your site. Some seem impossible to incorporate and some seem pretty natural. I have 3 replaced joints and a lot of arthritis everywhere which makes movements difficult and painful, but I MUST loose weight for my health and well being. So inflammation is a big deal for me, lack of movement certainly contributes to lymph inefficiencies, and years of walking “wierdly” has certainly unbalanced my muscles and skeleton. I visit a chiropractor regularily this past year, bought a VitaMix and am drinking my fresh vegies regularily. No weight loss has occurred. I know the missing component is exercise, but a) I’m lazy b) it hurts c) I’m not sure what to start with. Would love your comments.

Interesting.

The Will Smith clip ties in nicely with the writings of Dyer and Chopra, as well as the very interesting nexus of quantum mechanics and eastern mysticism.

Good stuff.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Dr. K. I’ve been working with Kareem for almost a year on another of his Web programs. Everything he says here totally works and he has been great with the e-mail and video follow up.

His approach is different — he is a doctor — and it did take me a while to change my head around. But when I’m in the gym now and see the trainers working their game on new clients with the cardio and Smith machines, I just cringe. It’s sad to watch.

Hi Dr. K,
This information is fascinating, and makes perfect sense. I like that the overall focus is on health and balancing of the body. You are obviously very well educated, and it’s great that you took that information and applied it in a way that no one has done before. Innovation seems rare these days, so that is definitely something to be proud of.
I’ve had imbalances and injuries throughout my body for a long time. I’ve actively been working on improving strength and releasing muscle tension which as alleviated nerve pain. I usually follow whatever movement my body tells me I need, wherever I feel tension I usually stretch.
One thing that I’m curious about is that whenever I do lunges, my right knee pops and cracks like cartilage sounds. It doesn’t hurt, but is this something I should be concerned with or work around? I’ve sustained injuries to this knee and have some issues with it from carrying heavy bags on one side of my body. My knees do sometimes hurt unexpectedly if I run full out without being mindful. If you have some insight, that would be helpful. Otherwise, thank you for the information and I look forward the next installment.
Thanks,
Jessica

That clarifies perfectly, I didn’t know the true core was made up of so many muscles and that information about them was brilliant, thanks, as you’ve probably guessed by my long winded questions I love learning more about the body and trying to incorporate it, Those 3D-planar movements on this blog post the sumowalk three pump squat and the other..one..Im guessing you can do whenever you feel comfortable then?

Cheers man, your a freaking genius and I’ll be sure to annoy the hell out of him if I don’t get the email ;)
