Hi Joel,
I have been losing weight for sometime but I eventually hit a wall after losing 15kgs. I’m at 15% body fat and I’m just a few more kgs away from my target. Having subscribed to your emails, I slowly began to read about how your program is effective for the last bit of fat I want to lose. I downloaded a free copy of your fat burning tips and I slowly started to include cheat days,lactic-acid based training and glycogen depletion days into my workouts.
Now, I will have a cheat day once a week (no pizzas and quadruple oreos for me though! I choose to stick with “cleaner” pasta ). Prior to my cheat day I will go on a very low carb diet and do glycogen depleting workouts to empty my carb stores. Then on the day after my cheat day, I will once again focus on a large calorie deficit and a glycogen depleting workout.
In my first week, I lost 2kgs before the cheat day, and I was tempted to NOT do a cheat day. But I remembered your article about leptin levels and I proceeded with my plan (You mentioned I need to believe in your strategy to make this work.) After my cheat day I gained 2kg and I thought my effort for the whole week was gone.
But guess what? I continued the same workout and routine for my 2nd week (current week) and right before my cheat day, I lost 4kgs in total already! I was surprised when the weight I gained from my cheat day was lost so fast through the workouts and methods you mentioned.
I am now at 14% body fat and I look forward to hitting my target of 10%. Your free articles and pdf downloads have already helped me a lot in fat burning and it would be great if I could win a full copy and continue achieving my aims. (Even if I don’t win a copy, I’m sure the material from your newletters and articles will help me achieve my aims!)
I would like to thank you a lot for the information you shared and gave, also the youtube video you did on FPFL is awesome. Without a doubt, FPFL WORKS! because even with a small amount of info from the program, I am already doing very well!
