It's like a dream come true.
"Gaining bodyfat is the result of a virus."
Wouldn't that be great news?
Well...
Let me tell you about the AD-36 adenovirus. Adenoviruses are the same nasty bugs that cause the common cold. We all have these viruses in various forms in our body all the time.
That last bit is a critical distinction.
Remember that.
The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana has been doing some really ground-breaking research on AD-36. AD-36 affects stem cells... more specifically fat cells, both pre-formed and post-formed.
This means AD-36 can make MORE fat cells if contracted as an infant and make your fat cells larger if contracted as an adult.
Or so the theory goes.
To quote the study:
"Earlier researchers have concluded that Ad-36 may be contributors to obesity by super-charging fat cells to grow and store more fat. Until now, though, those researchers thought the viruses targeted pre-fat cells (called pre-adipocytes), causing them to convert in higher numbers to fat cells and causing those fat cells to be larger. Those studies were in mice. Pasaricas work determines the virus targets stem cells in humans."
The result?
"In one test, a third of obese people had the rare and highly contagious virus compared to just 11 percent of thinner people. Weight gain can last three months until the body has built up resistance to the bug."
Wow. Sounds like we have a winner here. A virus that you can catch that literally makes you gain bodyfat! All we need is...
a vaccine!
Right?
Wrong.
First of all, notice that 11% of LEAN people have AD-36. And at any given time, just like a cold or a flu virus, you could contract AD-36. If your body has 'never' been exposed to it, you may require about 3 months to build up antibodies to ward it off.
Now, you can gain a lot of weight in 3 months... but come on. You cannot become obese in three months unless you are really, REALLY working at it.
Plus, like most viruses, you build up immunity to AD-36. Researchers do not know how long the immunity lasts, but some theorize it could last years... some even decades.
And let's not forget those 11% who are lean and have the virus.
Why did they not all of a sudden get "sick" with bodyfat?
Because they are not EATING or LIVING in a way that allows them to gain bodyfat no matter what nasty freakin' viruses may be floating about, that's why.
That's right folks: It is always going to come down to the food we put in our body and the way we move.
Here's another hypothesis presented by Sherry Strong, food philosopher and nutritionist: "This could very well be the result of nature creating a mutation to encourage us to eat more due to the fact our consumption of natural, whole and organic foods is so low."
Brilliant observation... and one tha makes complete sense.
Even if a "virus" is responsible for 20% of our weightgain, what about the other 80%?
We do not need a vaccine other than good food and a common sense workout plan.
Here's the best --

Here's why I love this workout:
1. It's fast. 7-14 minutes 3-5 days per week. Anyone on earth can do this.
2. The Basic Upgrade (you will see it) still comes with a copy of my book "The Every Other Day Diet." Put the two together and you have an absolute winner of a plan that's practical and enjoyable.
3. Plus, anyone who owns "Every Other Day Diet" gets my upcoming "Radical Fatloss Blueprint" book freee. It comes out March 1st.
That's 3 good reasons to go here and check out 7 Minute Muscle...

Here's one more:
You know better.
You know that there's never going to be a magic pill for health, vitality, energy and looking your best.
We can keep hoping... or you can take action and get what you want now.
To me, that makes more sense than AD-36 "Super-Retro Fat-burning Vaccine" to hit the marketplace in 2021.

THIS Makes You Gain Weight
This article was written by a freind of mine Jon Benson fitness and nutrition author . I have his permission to share it with you so please enjoy.
Caution:
This sounds like a silly question, but it’s really the most important question you can ask:
“What REALLY makes me increase my bodyfat?”
Is it too many calories? Sure. That’s one part. But I know people who can eat 4-5K calories a day and not add an ounce.
Is it dietary fat? Rarely if ever.
Fat is necessary to melt bodyfat. It is true that fat has more calories per gram than protein or carbs, but let’s look at this logically:
40% protein; 40% carbs; 20% fat = 40% fat; 40% protein; 20% carbs
So… no. Increasing your dietary fat does not mean you’ll get fatter…
UNLESS… ready?
Your insulin levels are too high.
Elevated insulin is not only the prime cause of diabetes and a sign of being hypoglycemic, but it’s also the prime numero uno reason people get fat.
And insulin is stimulated most by too many carbohydrates… even the so-called “healthy carbs!”
HOWEVER… ready again?
You can still eat carbs… you do not need a “low-carb” dietplan every day in order to keep your insulin and bodyfat low.
You just have to know what TIME to eat the carbs.
There’s a time and place for everything and carbs are no exception.
I have a presentation here that tells you more about how important timing is and how you can eat your carbs (even sweets) and shed bodyfat…
… here:
The EODD System < --carb-friendly dietplan
That being said:
If I had to cut one thing out of my diet for 1-4 days it would definitely be carbs.
I need fat… fat helps melt bodyfat… and I have trained my body to use its own fat-stores for fuel.
( See how on the linked-page above )
I DEFINITELY need protein… and so do you.
Protein speeds up thermogenesis, or your body’s own fat-burning heat factory.
Protein also blunts your appetite so you naturally eat less.
Some carbs are healthy… and I do not recommend you cut out low-sugar fruits and green veggies… you need that stuff.
But you don’t need grains, breads, etc.
At least for a few days.
THEN… you need them… but only after you do two things.
Find out more here:
The EODD System < --carb-friendly dietplan
Remember: Don’t Quit. Get Fit!
P.S. My favorite “Feed Meal” (that’s what I call meals where I eat a lot of calories and carbs) is this:
Small serving of protein (1/2 my normal serving size) like chicken, tuna, etc.
Brown rice or baked potato
Slice of pecan pie (or Key Lime pie… yum.)
Then later that day I’ll have a few slices of New York-style pizza.
The next day I’m LEANER. It never fails.
The only time this can fail is if you do not set your body UP to receive these carbs and some junk food.
I call this my “Real World Favorite Foods Dietplan.” That’s not the name of my System but it could be! That’s exactly what it is.
I love it… so will you…

The Secret To A Better Lovelife
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
Today we need to chat about your hormones.
Yeah, I chat a lot about hormones. That's because I have been to Hormone Hell and back. Twice.
I've lived to tell the tale.
It's scary... and it's one of those hidden illnesses that you might not even know you have.
I had it at 27. I did not affect my lovelife, but that was probably due to my youth. If I did not treat it then, I would have no lovelife or drive at ALL right now.
I treated it with drugs. That is all we had back then.
Today I use a combination of therapies, many of which are natural....
1. I train with weights to increase testosterone-levels naturally.
2. I train and do cardio before eating in the morning do increase gH levels naturally without drugs.
3. I cycle my calories to increase my thyroid levels naturally.
As you can see there are many ways to increase your hormone levels naturally.
But it's not all exercise and nutrition. Now we have several "botanical" supplements: Herbs and other natural helpers to help the fight.
I wish I would have known about Dr. Lucille when I was 27.
She's the expert in that field. Herbs, nutrition for hormone help, and how to protect your body IF you have to take drugs to help the problem like I do.
I listen to her. So should you.
Here's her site:
http://www.naturapause.com/go/fithealthy <--- natural energy help
The best thing about having your hormones optimized is energy.
Yes, you will burn more bodyfat.
Yes, you will increase your lovelife and your desire to have intimacy.
Yes, you will increase your resistance to disease and common illnesses.
But I think MORE ENERGY is the best.
I have the energy to do anything I want at just about any time I want.
Here's an example:
Today I had to go to the funeral of a dear friend. She passed away after struggling with a lifetime of various illnesses, many of which were made worse by lifestyle choices. Some she had no control over.
We all loved her dearly.
We drove until 1:00AM this morning. I got up early for the funeral but not early enough to eat breakfast.
I had a large lunch afterwards and then we headed back -- another 3 hour boring drive in traffic.
Even with all of this emotional stress, my body only needed a 2-hour nap to pop right back into high gear. I could literally go and workout now at almost 11:00pm if I had to.
I'm glad I don't because I have a night of packing ahead of me for a business trip!
Still, the point is simple:
Hormone Health = Greater Energy
Most people do not exercise because... get this....
They do not FEEL like it.
I don't mean "feel like it" as in they would rather do something else, although that is the case sometimes.
I mean "feel like it" in the sense that they have NO energy to do it.
They are tired, run-down after a 9 to 5 day, and feel zonked.
You too?
If so, you need this info...

Remember: More energy, more lovelife. More workouts that burn fat. More done in the day.
More living... in the best way possible.

Training With Weights vs "Weight Training"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a word of warning:
I will be using the term "bodybuilder" or "bodybuilding" to refer to anyone who wants to build lean muscle and burn bodyfat in this article.
That means you.
Yep... you are a "bodybuilder." That does not mean you want to look like a monster on stage and pose in front of thousands of people wearing nothing but your undies.
That means you want more lean muscle and less bodyfat -- that's it.
With that in mind, here's something you have to know:
Bodybuilders do not "lift weights" -- we "train" with weights.
We use weights as a tool like a sculptor uses a hammer and chisel.
The object of the game is not to lift some heavy weight from Point A to Point B and back. That's weight lifting. "Bodybuilding" is about making the muscle you want to change do all the work.
Here's two ways to do it:
1. Lower the weight and focus: Most people are just concerned with the lift itself. "Get this weight off of me!" seems to be the unconscious mantra. This will not get the job done. In fact you may end up looking bulky rather than sleek... or just not change at all. Instead, lower the weight slightly, slow the pace down (especially on the descent of the movement) and picture the muscle in your mind doing ALL of the work. Literally put your mind in the muscle. You will be amazed at how different the same exercise feels with this degree of concentration,.
2. Contract, hold, release: At the top of any movement, contract the muscle hard. Hold that contraction for a second or two, then release it and lower the weight slowly. This will not only cause faster muscle growth (that is a good thing) but also demand that you use less weight to get the job done. This means your joints -- shoulders, knees, elbows -- will last a lifetime. At 45 my joints are in perfect health. Protect yours at all costs.
Just remember: You are not just lifting weights when you train for muscle shape and "tone" -- you are a sculptor. Treat your tools and your body with that degree of care.
I cover many more tips on how to build lean muscle and burn bodyfat faster in my book "7 Minute Muscle".

HDT: Better Abs In 3 Minutes?
[ Note: This article was written by a freind of mine Jon Benson fitness and nutrition author . I have his permission to share it with you so please enjoy. ]
Abs.
Everyone wants a tighter tummy.
Guys want a six-pack… ladies want a slim, firm waistline… and yes, some want a six-pack too.
Why be sexist? ; )
So needless to say people are freaked out to find that I train my abs in about 3 minutes.
Total.
Here’s how:
7 and 14-Minute workouts < ---discount
Let me give you the dirty facts about my abs.
They are the worst part of my body... and one of the best parts at the same time.
The "worst" bit has nothing to do with muscles or even bodyfat most of the time... but SKIN.
Remember, I was obese... 46-inch waist and 38 percent bodyfat.
So my skin got pretty messed up. It never quite recovered from that and I have a "bit" of loose skin around my abs.
Drives me nuts. I may have it removed! ; )
But other than THAT... my abs are pretty good.
Here's a pretty recent shot (after a workout taken with an iPhone... so hardly a professional shot... but you get the idea... )
This is after THREE MINUTES of ab training done 2-3 times a week.
Let me spell out my thoughts on this:
If you are training your abs longer than 7 minutes a week you are doing something wrong… or you’re just wasting your time.
Sorry to break it to you, but abs develop fast.
It’s the BODYFAT you need to focus on.
Still, you need abs… and my HDT-Style Training in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle will get you those abs uber-fast:
7 and 14-Minute workouts < —about HDT
Go watch and read how it works now.
Before you do, let me give you a substitute exercise for one of the three I recommend during my “3-Minute Abs” routine (found in both books on the page above.)
Hanging leg raises… they are the best when done the way I show you in my book.
BUT some people do not have the gym or the straps I recommend.
So do this instead: Leg raises on a Swiss Ball, bench or even off the floor.
Here’s the tip: Raise the legs, pause at the top for 2 seconds and blow ALL of your air out. Contract your abs HARD at the top.
Then and ONLY then lower the legs slowly.
If you do this right there’s no way to get more than 15 reps. I get about 8 before my abs give out!
That’s all it takes. You do NOT need “high reps” to develop your abs. In fact LOW reps work better…
You just need resistance… and my way of training gives you plenty.
This means a LOT less time doing the exercises and a LOT MORE time enjoying the nice set of tummy muscles you’ve built.
Sounds like a plan.
P.S. Here’s the latest for those interested in my ongoing legal issues with selling rights to a publisher.
This concerns YOU as the price for 7 Minute Muscle and 7 Minute Body will NOT be under my control as soon as the contracts are signed.
This was supposed to happen today… but as luck (for you!) would have it, I got caught in Austin traffic at 5:30pm and missed my 6:00 meeting with the publishers.
The president leaves town tonight-Sunday.
SO NOW… I can extend my half-price (more than half-off the Advanced Videos!) for a few more days…
… so go here:
7 and 14-Minute workouts < —discount
P.P.S. In case you’re wondering, this is not a clever marketing ploy… 7MM and 7MB are both being acquired by a publisher.
The recognize the amazing benefits this style of workouts offer anyone at any age… fatburning and muscle-shaping…
Otherwise they would not be writing such a nice check… : )
I bought a Jeep with it. So it’s not making me a millionaire or anything, but it’s nice to have my hard work rewarded!
Even nicer than that, I get the chance to almost give away my “baby” to you if you don’t have it already…
When the deal is done, here is what you can expect to happen:
1. The page below WILL change, and that includes the price… they think the price is not right. (I think that means too low… ha… ; )
2. The specials will end due to the fact they will send millions of people to the site rather than a few hundred thousand (my readers and my] affiliates send about that much.)
3. The book will end up in some bookstore eventually… and that’s FINE unless they want to alter the content… which I have a provision to prevent.
Sorry to ramble on about this, but I want you to know the integrity of the guy sending you emails every day…
Sure, I like to make a living. Who doesn’t?
But I won’t sell my soul to do it.
I won’t give up what I KNOW works to make a buck or two… so that means I maintain TOTAL creative control over these books even after the publishers take over.
In fact I’m negotiating a position WITH this firm so I can make SURE I maintain control… and folks, I HATE working for other people!
But it is worth it… IF I can keep the quality of the materials where they are.
And they are 100% solid.
And right now they are 200% cheaper than normal… so if you don’t know what all the fuss is about with all of this “7 minute workout” stuff (I prefer the 14-minute advanced workouts, which you can get too) …

Abs.
Everyone wants a tighter tummy.
Guys want a six-pack… ladies want a slim, firm waistline… and yes, some want a six-pack too.
Why be sexist? ; )
So needless to say people are freaked out to find that I train my abs in about 3 minutes.
Total.

The Ultimate Method For Natural Fat Loss…
Discover How to Lose Stubborn Body Fat At Any Age, Even If You’ve Tried Everything And Nothing Has Ever Worked For You Before
Dear Friend,
If you want to lose fat permanently without losing muscle, and you want to do it naturally – without drugs, pills, gimmicks or fad diets – then this will be the most important message you will ever read. Here’s why:
A small health & fitness publishing company from New Jersey (Burn The Fat Enterprises), has finally decided to publish a full length e-book about how to lose body fat using the little known methods of natural bodybuilders and fitness models.
Here are some of the amazing and revealing facts you will learn when you read this exciting and revealing new book:
Why 95% of all diets fail...and the exact, detailed steps you must take to be in the successful 5% (and stay there!) • Why it's physiologically impossible for conventional diets to ever work...unless you know this one simple trick! It's a metabolism-saver for chronic dieters and it's one of the first things the author would teach you if he coached you in person
Unleash the awesome hidden powers of your mind and find out the psychological reason why most people unconsciously sabotage themselves...just when their diets are beginning to work!
Not one, but FOUR weight training programs designed to fit your schedule and experience level - plus a "conservative" routine for "time-crunched" people who can't train as often as they'd like to
The twelve worst foods you should never eat
The twelve best foods you should eat all the time
Why dieting below your critical calorie level can wreck your metabolism and actually make you fatter! (and how to know when you're in the danger zone)...also, the precise calculations for your optimal calorie level
How to eat 50% more calories without storing an ounce as fat - It's true -you can actually eat more food while losing more fat if you use this simple, but often overlooked strategy!
The #1 reason why most people can't drop the last 10 lbs of ab flab and how you can lose it with ease...and (if you want to), go even further and get “ripped” and rock-hard like a bodybuilder or fitness model
Important lessons you can learn from the Zone and Atkins diet...including the hidden reason why most people fail on both diets in the long run
The one food combination you should NEVER, EVER eat - break this rule and you're guaranteed to pack on lumps of ugly fat so fast you'll wonder what hit you! (and almost everybody's doing it!)
Which body type classification you are and how to eat right for your body type (if you're eating wrong for your body type you can forget about losing any fat no matter how hard you train or how strictly you diet)
The #1 most effective way to burn body fat ever (If you could only make ONE change to your current diet program, this would be it!)
7 strategies to make sure your body never goes into "starvation mode" and the ONE THING you must do IMMEDIATELY if you suspect it's already happened
The three critical factors that determine whether you'll lose muscle while dieting...and how the slightest nutritional "tweak" can guarantee you keep every ounce of lean muscle mass while you quickly drop the fat
Dozens of the best-kept fat burning secrets of bodybuilders and fitness models that almost NOBODY knows about...compiled by a 14-year, rare study of the most "ripped" athletes on earth
What to do when you've tried everything and the stubborn fat still won't come off (this is one of the little-known tactics bodybuilders and fitness models use in the final weeks before competitions)
Secrets of meal frequency and timing that will amplify your body's natural rate of calorie-burning (There's a lot more to it than just eating small, frequent meals)
How a "new spin" on the old low carb diet can increase your rate of fat loss to the maximum possible without muscle loss or metabolic downgrade
Why you will almost ALWAYS fail to keep the fat off if you use a conventional low carbohydrate diet - If you've failed on low carb diets before, this is the reason why
The truth about how much cardio you REALLY need to lose the fat and the best times to do it for maximum impact
The psychology of permanent fat loss...Goal setting and motivation tactics that program your subconscious mind for massive success...Follow this "secret mental training formula" and you'll be practically "hypnotized" into eating properly and working out consistentlyAnd that’s just a tiny fraction of what you’ll learn in this information-packed "bible" to a leaner, more muscular body.
This book comes with an iron-clad money back guarantee and it’s easy to order. Best of all, because it’s finally available as an instantly downloadable e-book, you can get started within the next 10 minutes and begin seeing and feeling results immediately.

HDT: Hyper-Density Training (More Results in Less Time!)
This article was written by a freind of mine Jon Benson fitness and nutrition author . I have his permission to share it with you so please enjoy.All this past week I’ve been telling you about this:
7 and 14-Minute Workouts here < ---new.page
This is all about how shorter workouts (7-14 minutes) are better for fatloss AND muscle gain than longer workouts.
Naturally this freaks a lot of people out.
When they see me they assume I train for hours a day.
Wrong. I work out about 3 hours a week total in the gym when I'm not preparing for a photoshoot. When I am I increase the cardio... that's it.
However, I spend HALF the year training about 1.5 hours a week in the gym using my 7 Minute Muscle workouts.
I like training longer, so I mix it up... but the results I get from 7 Minute Muscle are equal OR better than longer workouts so this next year I plan to train using 'nothing' but 7MM.
More here:
7 and 14-Minute Workouts here < ---new.page
I've been getting swamped with questions about one thing in particular:
WHY are shorter workouts better for fatloss?
The secret behind this is a trademarked term (by me... : )
HDT
“Hyper-Density Training”
HDT is the most unique form of density training there is.
Density training is basically more work in less time.
This creates the demand for more energy.
More energy spent = greater fatloss.
More energy demanded = more lean muscle.
All of this in 7-14 minutes per day.
3-5 days per week.
I made a new website about HDT to explain it.
Go here now…
this comes down in a few days:

P.S. HDT works for everyone, even those who workout in their home without weights.
Just by going to the new page you’ll learn how to use the principles behind HDT (freee) to help you with your workouts…
… and you can also get the “last-call” for my System that covers HDT and brevity training in detail…

The Best 16-Minute Workout EVER
[ Note: This article was written by a freind of mine Jon Benson fitness and nutrition author . I have his permission to share it with you so please enjoy. ]
When I wrote “7 Minute Muscle” and “7 Minute Body” (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought I was doing the muscle-mass crowd a huge favor.
I was right… and I was wrong.
I was right because the 7MM-style training has put serious muscle shape, tone, and size on people from all ages.
I was WRONG because it did more than just add lean muscle:
THIS makes people THINNER…
7 Minute Body workouts < – fastest bodyshaping workout EVER
The short version of the science behind why this happens and a sample workout routine is included in today’s newsletter.
Yep: the workout I intended people to use for building muscle turned into one of the fastest ways to melt body fat.
Weird.
I say “weird”… it’s not that weird to me. I know why it works so well. But it was kinda weird for my readers.
The secret is density training.
Density is basically getting the most amount of work done in the least amount of time. More work in less time = more energy.
More energy spent = greater fatloss.
Fatloss (and muscle-shaping) is not an issue of length of time as much as it is an issue of work divided by time.
The body was made to perform in bursts, not in long bouts. This is why our immediate fuel sources (which come mostly from carbohydrates) are WAY too efficient… so much so that we store incredible amounts of fat from consuming too many of the “fast-fuel” foods.
The best way to combat this fat-storing problem is to use your body the way it was designed to be used: In bursts of fat-burning power that are intense, short, and highly focused.
That’s the basics behind density training.
More here:
7 Minute Body workouts < – fastest bodyshaping workout EVER
Want a practical example? Great… let’s look at a 7 Minute Muscle chest workout followed by a 7 Minute Muscle “GXP” Cardio workout.
Your total workout time: A whopping 16 minutes.
That’s “TOTAL” workout and cardio time, minus a short warm-up.
After your warm-up, you would start with the first of two “Phases”:
The first 5 minutes is called The Power Phase.
This is followed by The Mass Phase (Mass is for adding lean muscle) which last only 2 minutes.
During the Power Phase, your weight you select for any movement (from a bench press to a push-up) stays the same. This makes it very easy to shorten your rest intervals between sets.
Your repetitions will be a maximum of 5 for your Power Phase using a weight that’s about 60% of your normal 5-rep max. You will rest as little as possible between sets.
The first few sets will feel light, but as time progresses this “light” weight will become more and more challenging. In fact you will drop your repetitions down quite low in order to complete the 5-minute Phase… and that’s GOOD.
That’s what we want: As many repetitions as you can get during 5 minutes, but never exceeding FIVE repetitions, during your Power Phase.
Your rest intervals are up to YOU… you can rest a short or as long as you need.
This is a very creative and personal workout!
Your goal is simple: Get more TOTAL reps (called “Aggregate Repetitions”, or “AR”) than your previous workout.
This is what makes 7 Minute Muscle so unique: The progression is built-in.
Most people fail to progress in the gym because they simply do not track their workouts carefully enough.
With 7 Minute Muscle you don’t have to track an entire workout: Only ONE number. The total number of repetitions, or your “AR”.
Simple!
Your Power Phase for a chest workout may look like this:
EXERCISE:
Incline Machine Press (upper chest)
5 reps (rest 20 seconds)
5 reps (rest 15 seconds)
4 reps (rest 20 seconds)
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)
1 rep (rest 20 seconds)
1 rep (end)
]Total AR: 22 reps
Total Time: 5 minutes
Your goal next time is to get 23 repetitions using the same weight. Once you can get 5 repetitions every set it’s time to increase the weight for this movement.
You would then move to your Mass Phase (2 minutes) which would be a different chest exercise for TEN repetitions.
Same goal, same principles apply… beat your previous AR.
The end result is a 7-minute workout that shapes your chest AND burns a lot of fat due to the principles of time/energy expenditure and the fact that muscle burns calories.
You end your 7 minute workout with “GXP” Cardio. This is 9 minutes long… that’s it! But your body is primed to melt off a lot of fat after your 7 minutes of intense weight training… and you will drop the fat if you do this workout right.
You start with 3 minutes on the exercise device of your choice (I prefer the treadmill.)
You work your way up to 85-90% of your maximum heart rate, or a perceived exertion rate on a scale of 1-10 of 7 to 8. No more is needed to get the desired results.
You stay at this level for just 3 minutes.
Then you cool down for 3 minutes.
That’s IT.
That’s your entire cardio workout and weight-training workout… all in 16 minutes (about 20 with a warm-up.)
And you will progress faster, burn a lot more fat, and save SO much time you may have to take up a new hobby!

SIRT1: Is Your Fat-Burning Gene Turned On?
[ Note: This article was written by a freind of mine Jon Benson fitness and nutrition author . I have his permission to share it with you so please enjoy. ]
You may have this gene.
It may be turned “off” right now… in fact it probably is.
There’s a problem with that:
It would be pretty nice to turn that sucker on, right?
Here’s the article on…
1. What SIRT1 is;
2. How you can “turn it on”
3. How to keep it on
Simply put, SIRT1 is a “rescue gene”. This gene is activated during times of fasting to, for a very SHORT period of time, access more stored bodyfat.
That’s a good thing.
The problems are…
1. Fasting is not good for the metabolism if done for more than a day;
2. This trick doesn’t work well over the long-run.
SIRT1 is practically dormant in most people as we have a surplus of food. We consume, on average, about 30% more food than our bodies require every single day.
It’s no wonder this gene went to sleep…
… and it’s time you wake it up.
As mentioned above, fasting for a day will activate SIRT1 if practiced for a few weeks. So you eat one day, fast the next, and keep this up for 1-2 weeks.
But… let’s face it. Most of us do not like the idea of NOT eating for a full day.
So I have two alternatives that work just as well to activate SIRT1 and NOT shut down your metabolism over the long-haul (as weekly fasting like this can do.)
TIP 1: Do a fruit fast instead
If you want to try a fruit fast every other day you can do so. This is much healthier and much easier on the body than an all-out fast.
However, for some people the sugar in fruit can trigger over-eating… and we don’t want that.
TIP 2: Stagger your calories
I teach this trick here:
Why This Works < --- click.here
But I take it a step further: I let you in on how you can stagger your "macronutrients" and your calories without having to think too much about it.
I call this my "Favorite Foods Plan" because it demands you consume high-calorie foods that you enjoy at specific times on specific days.
The other days are low in calories, higher in lean protein, but still contain real food.
Fasting is not necessary. The "starvation" switch that triggers SIRT1 has been shown to be triggered after only a day or two of low-calorie eating.
You just can't do that very long without higher- calorie days... and THAT is the nifty trick you need to learn.
I wrote the book on the subject... literally. : )

Simple: You stay on this cycle-your-calories dietplan… yep. That’s necessary. This is for LIFETIME fatloss… not a crash dietplan… they never, EVER get you what you want.
You want to be lean for life… no exceptions.
So to do that you need all the genetic help you can get…. and SIRT1 is part of that plan.

P.S. I’ve made the science part of this article pretty straight-forward. Personally I love science stuff but I slept through most of the boring parts. ; )
However, this is science you can USE… as in right now… today…
And you definitely need to make sure SIRT1 is alive and well… working away to help you shed more weight…

You may have this gene.
It may be turned “off” right now… in fact it probably is.
There’s a problem with that:
This gene helps you melt off bodyfat.
It would be pretty nice to turn that sucker on, right?
Here’s the article on…

2. How you can “turn it on”
