My 3 Week Weight / Fat Loss Results - I lost 6 lbs in weight & 2.1 % Body Fat

In my last newsletter I attached a word document which had on it what I was eating for breakfast and snacks for three weeks in a row along with a clean diet with no unhealthy snacks to get me ready and in excellent shape for the 8 mile cross country Grim challenge Sunday 2nd December that I'm taking part in.

I achieved the results using Herbalife nutrition products that I take myself and also highly recommend and supply to my friends, family and clients. Please find attached my results on the proper record sheet and also a word doc to illustrate the positive changes.

Bearing in mind that I was in the healthy green zone already the results are excellent and if someone who was in the dangerous high risk red zone would have followed what I had done exercise and diet wise for the last 3 weeks they would be well on the way to / or actually in the orange zone.

Then just 4-8 weeks more of discipline, self belief, commitment and motivation and people following my advise and getting on my super scales regularly to keep check will be feeling and looking in the best shape of their life and in the middle of the green healthy zone.

My scales cost £200 when I bought them from Amazon, now they're on there for £181:

Muscle Is Key

Muscle Is Key

Skeletal muscles are your body's natural fat burners, according to exercise physiologist William McArdle. They constantly use fat and carbohydrates to keep you warm and provide you with energy for movement.

Calories Burned

One pound of muscle burns about 6.5 calories per hour, according to McArdle. Muscles burn 5.5 times more calories than fat tissues, which burn about 1.2 calories per pound per hour.

Strength Training

You can increase your muscle mass by strength training, which stimulates your body to develop thicker muscle fibers. You can use various methods to increase muscle size, such as weight training, calisthenics (circuit training / boot camp), sprinting and jumping.

Basal Metabolic Rate

Basal metabolic rate, or BMR, estimates how much calories you burn when you are at rest, according to dietitian Ellen Coleman. The more muscles you have, the more calories you burn when you exercise and rest. A man with 100 lbs. of muscle would burn about 1,342 calories per day, while a man with 120 lbs. of muscle burn about 1,558 calories a day.
