One of the safest ways of loosing fat and keeping it off is to change your approach to fat loss. Instead of relying on potentially unhealthy short term diets and exercise, make changes to your normal dietary and exercise patterns. Start implementing a dietary and exercise pattern that you can use for life. This approach allows you to maintain your fat loss which is one problem many people face. This approach does not mean that you can’t take advantage of well designed short term programs (Warp Speed Fat Loss or 10/10 Transformation) to give you some fast results, but it does mean that you continue on healthy exercise and dietary program once you reach your goal body composition.

Are you getting bored with your interval training on the machines in the gym. Here are a few options that get you out and about, while still giving you the fat burning benefits of an interval training session.
- Cycling. It is up to you whether you prefer to use a road bike or a road bike but either way throw on your helmet and get out there.
- Hill Sprints. If you are lucky enough to have a good hill near home, take advantage of it and have fun
- Inline Skating. If you know how to skate, this is a great way to have fun and get in a great workout. Just remember to wear your protective equipment.
- Swimming. Your choice of stroke in open water or in a pool, swimming is another good option.

Recently Alwyn Cosgrove, one part of the team that brought you Warp Speed Fat Loss, discussed how Warp Speed Fat Loss came to be. You can check out Alwyn’s blog at alwyncosgrove.blogspot.com/

Q: How did you come up with Warp Speed Fat Loss?

A: It really started as a conversation between Mike Roussell and myself. What was the upper limit of fat loss per week? The whole “1-2lbs per week” thing just never really sat well with me.

I mean, if you gave two people of the same weight and body fat, the same program and diet - you’d expect that they’d lose the same weight right? But not always.

Additionally I’d seen client results where the average fat loss was 3, 4, even 5lbs per week sometimes. I’d seen research showing programs that resulted in 35lbs of fat lost, while gaining muscle in 90 days. So I had no idea where the 1-2lbs of fat loss came from.

So I asked Mike what he thought the upper limit was…. and we went back and forth sharing ideas and different stuff. Is it Xlbs per week? Is it a percentage of bodyweight? Is it a percentage of bodyfat? How does it change if you are leaner/fatter ?

Then Mike came to me with an idea:

“Why don’t you write an extreme 28 day fat loss training plan, designed to keep lean muscle and make that muscle work so much that you burn a ton of calories round the clock? and then I’ll write a nutrition program that will match the workouts closely, support the plan and really ramp up the results…”

I was resistant. I already had written several fat loss products that I knew worked, were super-effective but were longer. 12-16 weeks long usually. I always felt that fat loss was a steady battle day-in, day-out and people that needed to lose large amounts of fat needed a longer drawn out battle. Bodybuilders and figure competitors also spent 16-20 weeks dieting and preparing for contests.

But then I remembered the Dan John quote:

“Fat loss is an all-out war. Give it 28 days — only 28 days. Attack it with all you have. It’s not a lifestyle choice; it’s a battle. Lose fat and then get back into moderation.”

Hmmm.

And I knew that I got emails all the time from people who quite honestly had left it too late to get lean for the summer without doing something more extreme.

It’s a well known fact that the two biggest months for diet book sales are New Years and just before Summer. People procrastinate. They wait until the last minute. And they are embarrassed to show up at a pool party or a BBQ, or go to the beach without wearing a big, baggy t-shirt….

Sure if they had thought about it four or five months ago they’d be in great shape right now — but now it’s their daughters wedding in 30 days and they need to drop a dress size…

So I came up with a plan, and we test ran it with a few participants.

Including Bill Hartman, who lost 17lbs in 21 days!

Around the same time, my buddy Mike Robertson contacted Mike Roussell for some fat loss help - he had a goal of cutting 10-12lbs in a month. Mike gave him the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program. Mike hit his goal in fourteen days!

One of the other participants went from 14% body fat at 155lbs to just under 9.5% body fat at the end of the program (and he missed a chunk of the workouts). Granted he was a smaller guy and the total weight loss was less - but that’s still an amazing change in under 28 days for an already lean person.

We knew we had something at that point. We had read the research - debunked the myths and came up with a plan that delivered better than we thought possible. So that’s really the story.
