Hi Joel.
It was interesting reading you Fat loss secerets, especially the don’t eat carbs and fat together bit. It seemed to make alot of sense. The only problem beng deciding which caterory do certain foods fit into, such as cheese is it fat or protein, and avocado fat or carbs also nuts what are these considered to be I know they contain fat but what else and where are they placed in the FAT PROTEIN & CARB seperation.

Hi! I’m new here and I have a question. I have a troubling left arm, I think its tendinitis. I want to workout but have pain when ever I use this arm. How long does this last? Should I wait until the pain is gone before working out again?
Thanks for any info.
Hi Joel
I’m 65 years old have been into body building for approximately 5 years. July I’m entering into our local masters body building contest. I do have a little problem with tummy and breast fat which after years of training and doing other diets and sticking to them 100% I still cannot get rid of these fatty areas. Hopefully your diet will do this for me. Web site looks awesome.
Thanks Heaps

I think that you have me hooked on your philosophy, and your program. Considering signing up for Gold membership but have a few questions that weren’t covered, and you covered much more than I expected!
Recently my weight jumped because of medical issues. I am trying to stay focused and exercise regularly. I think your program will help me in my quest to lose weight and feel better.
I have been exercising for about 17 years now. I really should look as lean as possible but I don’t. I guess I have never eaten and exercised the optimum way at the same time. I have always managed to maintain my weight steady at 140. Then I had a baby 3 years ago and I have tried everything to get the fat off. I’ve tried Eating programs, yoga, pilates, and now most recently weight training with interval cardio (Which I am not new to). I feel like I have to monitor every little thing I eat so as not to gain the little I have lost. I’m tired of trying to watch everything I eat. It would be nice to eat a little more relaxed and lose fat at the same time. I’ve attended several events in the last 3 years at this larger size. It would be nice to finally fit into my previous sized clothes or smaller. I almost feel like its never going to happen. Boo Hoo Hoo..:) Ok I’ll stop whining now. Its time for this fat to come off or else I’m considering some form of lipo!! I’d rather do it naturally. Thanks for listening to why I think I should receive your program.

Dear Joel-
I am hoping to win one of the free copies of your program. I am the mother of 6 children and the mid-30 metabolism slow down just hit. Believe it or not, with all 6 pregnancies I went back to my pre-pregnancy weight. But something has drastically changed now that I’m in my mid 30’s. I’m committed to exercising and eating healthy, but no matter what I do, the weight just keeps creeping on. Your theories ring true to me….from my own personal experienes and struggles. I have been feeling discouraged lately. I would love the opportunity to try your program.
Sincerely,
Allie
Hi Joel,
Can’t wait to get started reading more of your info. I am 56 years old and my husband and I have been trying to transform our bodies for life. We started with Body for Life in the year 2000. We felt better and lost 20+ pounds each. But in the past 2 years something changed and I’ve seemed to put back on weight. So I’m feeling pretty discouraged right now. I won’t give up. I have kept up the weights and eating right along with still having a day off. So I’m hoping your information will help me learn what I must still be doing wrong. I would love to win your free copies of your program. I want to fit back into my clothes again!
Thank you,
Brenda

Hi again,

Hello again,
I have read more on your site and am not sure how I will be able to fit the food and exercise into my life at the moment… my son 11 year old was recently diagnosed with Leukaemia and we are in an out of hospital with him for treatment and other unscheduled admissions and many days at outpatients clinic.
Do you have any suggestions or encouragement for me?
I’d like to lose 10 kg of fat and build about 5 or more kg of muscle.
I have been doing very little exercise except walking since my son’s hospitalisation: mid January 09.
I did a 1/2 hour walk today with 10 jogging intervals of 30 seconds each.
I hadn’t run for a long time and this was surprisingly OK.
Please help me lose weight and get fit for my Eldest daughter’s wedding 19th July 09.
Thanks again… i am very nervous about commiting to anything since my son’s illness.
please help

Hey Joel, as alot are going through the same issues I too have a the belly situation. However, mine may be a little different. I had back surgery about 3 years ago. The Docs went through my stomach first for 3 hrs. Turned me over and finished ther rest of the 8 hrs through my back. Later on as they and I didn’t realize I developed an incisional hernia above my belt line straight up to around 4 to 5 inches. After getting authorization from Docs to have them repair this after a year waiting, I lost an almost exact 5×5 inch square of stomach muscle tissue that just deteriated. So on my left side is basically softer than my right stomach side. And also they fact that any and I mean nearly anything I eat in very small portions even just drinking a glass of water, my stomach kind of pouches out on that left side. Yes I could stand to loose 15 to 18lbs. But this is really miserable. I need some drastic help. I’m sooo very tired of this. I use to run stadiums, lift weights, never had a weight/fat problem until after this surgery. I wished the Docs would of caught this sooner. Please give me some advice etc….
Joel,
I ordered your program and I am all ready to start, but I have one problem. I prefer to eat all natural foods and don’t really want to add the protein shake to my diet. I have had digestive problems with such foods before. What could I eat/drink instead of the protein shake at 9?

Hi Joel,
Bet you’re busy now days :-)
I am a 52 year old (the 14th) woman living in Sweden (nothern europe).
I purchased your Deluxe program and read the manual yeasterday. And allready, even though I haven’t started the program yet, I feel like this is going to work.
I’m so happy I got the tip from one your peers, Isabel de Los Rios. I’ve been dieting, on and off, soon for 40 years and the last couple of years I’ve been on the LCHF. It worked to begin with, but then I got ill and lost focus for a while and after that it has been hard to get back on track. It’s as you say, my body’s fighting me. The first 2-3 weeks I lose weight but then it’s like: Oh no, here we go again, better hit the brakes.
That’s what happend 2 weeks (and -6 kg) ago. And I was wondering why, cause I’ve been a good girl and followed the diet as I should.
Well now I know why! :-)
Tomorrow (monday) I’ll start the program with a cheat day. Mondays are my days off, so it’s perfect.
I hope, I will get some help and support from this site. Because I’m sure bad days will accur. I have a long way to go, since I have about 60-70 kg to lose. But I’m sure that when I get in to the routin of it, it’ll be easier, week by week.
This is a nice site. But I miss a couple of things:
– A time stamp would be nice on the comments.
– I cant find back to the FAQ.
– I’d like a category where we can post questions about the program.
I have a question about fat portions, where shall I post it?
I’ll end this posting with a biig THANK YOU! for all your hard work so far and I hope you’ll benefit of it too even though you’ve been so generous in the start.

Hi! Just bought your Cheat book. Makes sense to me, so I am starting today.
Joel,
Great site, and nice topic. Like several others who submitted their opinions, I tend to get ill during morning cardio workouts. If I do eat, it has to be at least 2 hours before hitting the gym. If I have anything in my system too soon, it wants to come up about 10 minutes into my workout. If I’m doing circuit training with weights, I tend to do all right with a piece of fruit an hour before. Or you’ll find me running to the bathroom.
I usually perform high intensity cardio on an empty stomach. I feel like I get more of a focused workout. My cardio session becomes more about meditation, and self-awareness. Rather than trying to keep from passing gas or blowing chunks. This has been a habit for me for quite sometime. Even before gymnastics practice, or meets. I couldn’t stomach too much, with all the intensity that was to come. My energy level usually suffers when I don’t get a good nights rest.
my name is ace.

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...
