Below are a few suggestions to help you get started with the blog and ensure you get the most of out of the Body Transformation Insider experience:
1. Go ahead and get yourself a Gravatar at Gravatar.com. Gravatars or “globally recognized avatars” are the little pictures that you see next to comments posted on the site.

One cool thing about Gravatars is that they are recognized on literally thousands of blogs and websites across the web, so once you have one, you’re set!
2. If you haven’t already done so, download my FREE 17-page Fat Loss Secrets Exposed special report at the top of the page. In this report, I give you six of the best fat loss strategies that have been responsible for literally shedding thousands of pounds from my clients trouble spots. You definitely don’t want to miss this information as having it will put you ahead of 99.9% of other people trying to drop unwanted body fat-guaranteed.
3. I’m all about interacting with and getting to know my readers. One of the best ways to do this is through various social networks like Facebook and Twitter. On Twitter, you can keep up to date with everything I’m doing and working on, interact with me, and get even more fat-loss tips and strategies. And on Facebook, well, you all know how Facebook works!

Hey Joel,
Great website ,,, Looking forward to poppin by ur website often
Hi Joel,
I’m Treasure from Portugal.
i’ve been trying to get into shape for the past two years(I’m a FYM member too) and it did work, but I fell off and now am determined as ever to get back on and stay on!
I need help and I’m not afraid to ask for it! So you’ll be seeing me around!
Hey All,
I used to be in the best of shape, played all sports through school. (many years ago) Stayed in shape pretty good since. But now I had two failed back surgeries four years ago and been on two different pain meds ever since. Lost all muscle from head to toes. Doctors say to be fixed I need four artificial disk put in my back. They don’t even do that in U.S. yet. I’m hoping to overcome everything and grit my teeth to try to get a life back. May be a chance if I follow work-outs here.
Hi Joel,
I’m new to your website. Just wanted to say it looks great and I can’t wait to dive into all the great info!
Charlotte
Hey Guys, Just getting started here. i am looking forward to comments from all of you. The next eight weeks are important to me since I am starting from square ONE! I will succeed, however. Talk to you soon
New to the site and back into lifting again in hopes of getting back into the shape I was in my 20’s. I’m excited to do some more research on your website and plan on visiting daily.
Can anyone tell me if loading up on protein a week before weight training will help. I know normally you need @ 70 grams/day. How much is too much and how do you calculate it? Looking forward to your replys. Thanks, as always!!
To reply to your question, Joe, I have read that you need 1.14 grams of protein per pound of LEAN body mass (not your entire weight). So you will need to know what you’re LBM is. @Joe –
Hey Joel great website it’s nice to see a down to earth guy amongst all those hyped websites that are everywhere on the web. Just signed up for your coaching programme and can’t wait to go on this journey with you. I really believe that this is the start of a total transformation for me and can’t wait to see the reaction of people around me. Hopefully by the end they won’t recognise me lol.
@Charlotte –
Thanks Charlotte, for your quick reply. I will do some calculations and learn from your input. Have a good evening!!
Joe
Hey, just joinedthe site, looks good so far. Have been a chef for 20 years and am currently studying cert 3 and 4 in fitness. Personal training here I come. Have leaned down from over 100kg to 86kg. Time to develop muscle mass. Should be awesome!!
Hi Joel!
So glad you made this site.. I am just like you. I’ve been working out, “dieting” for years and never seen any results. I feel confident that with your info I can finally get where i want! Thanks!!
Hi Joel. I am a fan of anything that you do! Your book Cheat to Lose has changed my life and I can’t wait for the next one. Keep them coming! :)
Thanks Joel for doing all of this. I’m from Indy originally and moving soon back to DC. I am following you and Vince and am seeing progress as a lean hard gainer to put on muscle. I have the mind of a twenty something and body of a thirty something, still have my high school 32″ waist, am still faster on the basketball court than most high schoolers, yet, I’m almost 51. I have wondered if that makes a difference to put on muscle, but so far following you and Vince seems to be working.
I do have a question about the Pro Grade Value pack that includes the Workout Recovery drink (which really is delicious), the EFA ICON and the VGF 25+ for Men. One thing I don’t understand is that the recovery drink only lasts about two weeks if used as directed in stead of the month it is supposed to last. The other two are enough for a month. I’m on the monthly plan where they send it automatically but it’s not enough of the Recovery drink.
I also use the GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 as a first thing in the morning drink, and as my pre and post workout when my Pro Grade Recovery runs out, then I use GNC PM Protein at night. I have had the most difficulty since I started all of this figuring out all these supplement things. Does it sound as if I’m on the right track to you? Any suggestions I should consider? Thank you once again for doing this.
Dear Joel,
I really like your site and I am considering whether to hire you as my fitness coach. Of course the price is a major factor. Your free stuff is very informative and it helps me a lot. Thank you very much. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Warm regards,
Jeremiah
Hi Joel,
Just joined and will look around a little more..in the past three years I have gone from a size 14 to a size 6..am 52 years old and very much into the healthy fit for life lifestyle. I have come far but still have more to go. Am a member of fatblastingbootcamp…which is fantastic. Thanks for the free stuff..have some reading to do :)
Hi, I’m Patti and from Ontario Canada.
I decided to chang my lifestyle at the age of 40 and weighing a wooping 340lbs and so far I have lost 180 lbs. No surgery, no diet clinics, no magic pills (LOL)…..just eating healthy and with the help of a personal trainer for the first few months just to get me going in the right direction.
I’m so happy to have found this website and all the great info I’ve read so far.
I’m not done yet…..life is way too fun now to quit :)
Thanks for the invite here. I have been following advice from Tom Benson and his mates. I lost 60 pounds in less than 12 months, got blase and put on 20 pounds last year instead of losing the 20 pounds to get to my goal. I did body building (for fun only) from the age of 30 to 55. I was put on statins and my muscles were destroyed so i could hardly walk even and put on LOADS of weight and almost died. I came off statins, started eating healthily and exercising a little at a time. I went back to circuit weight training and love it. My genetically high cholesterol is still on the high side but doctors have accepted the levels as I am healthier and fitter now at 61 and female.
I used to be very athletic and a member of Veteran At and femaleetes until too sick, competing in racewalking, 100 and 200 metre sprints and throwing discus, hammer and shot. I went to the gym lifting weights (200 lb squats and 100 pound bench) 6 days a week doing splits.
I am getting back on track but do smaller weights for higher reps now, mostly at home with my equipment.

Hey, it’s Joel! So you want to know a little more about me, huh? Well, I’d be happy to oblige :-)
I guess it all started back in 2001 (my freshman year of college) when I was just a “skinny fat” 19-year old kid. At the time, I was spending close to 2 hours a day in the gym (now my workouts last about 30 minutes), and despite my efforts, you’d probably never guess I worked out a day in my life by looking at me...
