Weight Loss Buddies

This is an amazing story I want to share… Rose and Joanne traveled 125 miles 12 weeks ago to visit The Fat Loss Coach… Both in their 50’s they agreed they would give weight loss one last try… Well these buddies have accomplished something truly amazing… They did more than beat the 12 Week Fat Loss Challenge, they destroyed it… Rose lost 35lb. of fat and Joanne 34 lb. of fat… They had 7 visits with the Coach over 12 weeks and each time traveled the 125 miles… Both clapped and cheered for each other on every visit as the Coach reported their results… I was truly blessed to have been a part of it…www.thefatlosscoach.com

Yes We Can

Yes We Can !!!

  Before I workout I pray for God's strength and protection, but most of all His companionship.... It was late afternoon and getting to end of my workout.... My body was telling me to stop, but the voice inside began to talk while I was wiping my brow.... It made my eyes look over at a man quietly working out, then as my eyes looked down I saw the man had artificial legs both of them... Electricity or fire rushed through by body and it felt like I could lift the building... His name is Paul and God sure used him to talk to me... We are ALL meant to be over-comers.... No matter what the trial, if we ask for God's help and not give up the victory will be our's... Turn your trial into a triump... I thank God for my new friend Paul....

 

Well since that day I met Paul no matter where I turn there he is;  the parking lot, bathroom and at all different times of the day in the gym...  The last time we talked I assked Paul what he did and his response trully amazed me...  Paul is a coach and like no other I have met...  His message of never give up or never give in speaks loadly; without him saying a word...  The next time your situation tries to tell you to stop; may the story of Paul having you saying of yes I can...www.thefatlosscoach.com

No Place Like It

No Place Like It…

 

It is amazing the beauty that God has created…  No matter how man tries nothing compares to what the hands of the Master created…  I am so blessed all the beauty is shared by my friends…  So let the Coach share with you a place I visited today…  No road map will take you there and your AAA card is of little use: even the eagles do not soar this high…

 

I closed my eyes and there I was on top of the mountain…  Up here all you breath is peace and the light fills you with joy…  All the trials and challenges of the day disappear and up here you are in need of nothing…  All my aches and pains leave me and walking on water is the treadmill of the day…

 

Oh what I have heard on my time on the mountain…  The whisper I heard today is what I want to share…  I have heard it before, but not with my human ear…  As I heard it today it took away all my cares…

 

So gentle a sound, “Do not forfeit your opportunity to draw near to Me, in your effort to serve Me; for I AM in need of nothing…  All I desire is your love…  As your life is filled with the fullness of my life; you also will be in need of nothing”…

 

How foolish for me to think, I can do something for God…  The Master is always willing to do something in me, with me and through me…  It is my greatest desire; whatever His plan is, may He do it in you…www.thefatlosscoach.com

 

God bless,

Miracle At The Crossroads

 

It was nineteen years ago this weekend the Fat Loss Coach faced a major crossroads in my life…  I had lay in a hospital bed for sixteen days; those sixteen days seemed like a lifetime…  I was getting ready for a national body building show, and one month before the show a blood clot formed in my left leg…  I can still picture the ambulance ride as if it were yesterday…  I woke up one morning and my left leg was purple…  So many times we hear about a 911 call, but now one was being placed for me…  How could this be, I had convinced myself I was invincible in the best shape of my life…  Well I was wrong…

 

The first week in hospital the morphine drip machine and I became best friends…   I knew almost to the minute when to push the button to escape my pain…  During one of my medicated trips I could hear outside the room my doctor tell my girlfriend at the time; we might need to amputate his leg, gangrene is setting in…  Her tear filled voice responded, “you will have to kill him, his leg is his life”…

 

No matter what the doctors tried they could not break up the clot…  The danger was if they dissolved it too quickly a piece of clot could break off and enter my heart…  Well after ten days the clot started to dissolve miraculously and my leg was spared…  At the time I did not believe in miracles and if this was God’s way of showing me He loved me it would take all His angels to convince me…

 

On the sixteen day as I left the hospital in a wheelchair with the instructions my bodybuilding life was over and I was lucky to be alive…  If this was good luck, what does bad luck look like?  On the ride home holding back the tears I vowed I was going to prove the doctors wrong…  This was not going to be the end of my dream…

 

Well it was shortly after I was getting ready to give up…  The vein in my leg had been damaged and the valves destroyed…  It looked like building this body was over…  Well just when you are ready to give up hope, you are in the best place for God to work the miraculous in your life…  He did not need to send all his angels to convince me; it took only one…

 

If you meet me today you will find I still train, eat and live as a body builder…  I am still preparing for a show…  The stage of this show much bigger than any auditorium could hold and you the reader are not in audience, because you are in show with me…  The show is called life and our reward more valuable than a trophy or title…  The body builder in this show is blessed with long life and good health…

 

I now believe in miracles and God who had been so distant from me now dwells within my heart; if fact He is my best friend…  Together thousands of lives are now being changed from the inside out one body at a time… 

 

No matter what challenge you face let my angelic message encourage you everything is possible if you believe…  If you feel you are at the crossroads do not give up, but look up God is waiting to do the miraculous in your life… http://www.thefatlosscoach.com

Wrong Message In Battle With Obesity

The Fat Loss Coach like most of you had day off on the fourth of July…Time to sit back and relax…I turned on television to enjoy sporting event of the day…No it was not my favorite team doing battle on baseball diamond, but it was a stadium filled with crazed fans…So what was the “BIG” event, disturbing to my eyes and painful to the Coach’s heart; the National Hot Dog eating contest…

When I'm asked in interviews, "What causes America's weight problem?"... I usually respond with the American Lifestyle is outside the hormone design of American's... So what was one of the major sports events on our counties Independence Day? Hot dog eating championship... No, not at your local picnic, but on national broadcast TV, (ESPN)... Oh, all my friends at ESPN, and you still are my friends... We even have experts to give play by play, or better dog by dog breakdown of the event... We now have gluttony as a sporting event... Have we become so blind by our unhealthy lifestyle, it has now caused us to cheer, and make hero’s out of poor quality of life…

Well I could not get back to work fast enough to share my message… Oh it is my prayer this message will get equal time on ESPN... Its time for all of us to say, I am free from being over weight, and free from all the hurt and pain it causes...

TV Host Wins At 12 Week Fat Loss Challenge

TV Host Wins At 12-Week Fat Loss Challenge

It was 12 weeks ago when Fat Loss Coach Charles Remington challenged Fox TV host Stan Simpson to a fat loss challenge as a guest on Fox's Stan Simpson Show... Simpson was intrigued when interviewing the nutritionist and former Mr Connecticut on his unique concept on weight loss, and his bold claim his customized fat loss system could provide fat loss, without the loss of lean muscle tissue for anyone…

Obesity is such a common media topic and Simpson had several weight loss experts on his show before, but something about the Fat Loss Coach's story seemed different... Remington was talking fat loss; not just weight loss... The Coach claimed there were flaws in most weight loss concepts... The drawbacks were lack of customization, muscle loss, limited behavior modification, and the body's ability to adapt to calorie reduction causing the weight loss to plateau... The other unusual part of the story was the former bodybuilding champion, who still looks like he lives in the gym saying, “Exercise would not be the main focus of the body transformation"...

 

So the problem and the solution were coming together; Stan needed weight loss and Charlie had the answer, which made sense to the host... The 12- week challenge was now in place; and the claims of The Fat Loss Coach program were now put to the test; and quite a test it would be... The Coach knew going into the challenge the Host's current lifestyle was not conducive for success; but also knew if he could prove it to Stan, he was validating his concept to the media...  The Coach knew his concept worked, because he had already proven it to thousands, but now wanted to put it to the test on television…

 

At the start of the challenge Stan weighed 228 lbs at 32% body fat; which meant he had a lean weight of 155 lbs and 73 lbs of body fat... The promised result of The Fat Loss Coach program was to provide a 5-8% drop in body fat; without losing any muscle or lean weight... This meant the television host would need to lose a minimum of 1.3 lbs of fat loss each week... Over the 12 weeks Stan ate four meals, which were perfectly portioned to his body composition and activity... Each meal consisted of foods Stan picked common from a local grocery store, which stabilized his blood sugar and triggered a hormone response; shifting him from a catabolic to anabolic balance... In simple terms Simpson's muscles were now being well fed, while he was becoming leaner...

 

In theory with everything properly in place how could The Fat Loss Coach program fail? Well even the best philosophies have to do more than make sense in a book; they have to work in real life... During the first week of the challenge, Stan reported to the Coach he was complying to the requirements of the program an estimated 80%...

 

The Coach’s work was now cut out for him…  Even though all the guesswork had been taken out what to do, some of Simpson’s old eating behaviors started to surface…  Remington recalled Stan would e-mail late at night when he started to stray of the path the plan…  Charlie would encourage the Host off the so-called ledge of falling of the plan by saying, “your four hours away from doing it right”…  One night after responding Remington, also a healing minister turned to God…  The Coach said, “God the bible promises you never sleep or slumber; well there is no sense in both of us staying up…  I place Stan in your hands…  God must have been listening …

 

The 12-week challenge flew by and it was now the moment of truth…  Stan needed to check in, and see if he reached the goals set by the plan…  Well even though he had conformed to the plan at best an estimated 80%; he had surpassed the 12-week goal…  Stan’s body fat had gone from 32% down to 25%, which meant he had lost 19.4 lbs of fat averaging 1.6 lbs per week…  During the 12 weeks Stan injured his knee and his regular workout efforts stopped for 2 weeks…  However over the 12 weeks Stan’s lean or muscle weight had gone up by 5.6 lbs…   Stan Simpson had won the 12-week Fat Loss Challenge; his body-fat had dropped 7%, and forget losing muscle, his increased even while injured…

 

Well timing is everything and on Tuesday 6/18/13 one day before the Fox taping of Simpson’s results, the America Medical Association makes a historical change in its classification of        obesity…  The AMA was now classifying obesity as a disease, which meant in the view of the AMA if you are obese you are sick…  Obesity standards differ, but the most accepted standards for men are a BMI of higher than 30, or a body-fat percentage above 25%…

 

At the start of the 12 Week Fat Loss Challenge Stan Simpson’s body fat percentage was 32%, which meant in the view of the AMA Stan was not only obese, he was sick… The 12 Week Challenge had done much more than provided Stan with 19.4 lbs of fat loss and dropping his body fat to 25%; under the new AMA classification he was no longer sick… It was with great pleasure after the Fox show for the Coach to congratulate the TV Host and to call him well… The 12-Week Challenge had been proven on television, and now the Coach was challenging the rest of the media world… If the Coach’s concept could work for Stan Simpson, it could work for anyone…

Weight Loss Dance

Weight Loss Dance

 

Its seems strange for a guy who seems to have two left feet when it comes to dancing to write about a weight loss dance…  In fact my article has nothing to do directly with the activity of dancing to lose weight…  However it does involve a valuable lesson I learned going to my first dance, which changed my life…

 

Several weeks ago one of my first patients of the day was an 80-year old female, 4’8” weighing 143 lbs at 47% body fat…  During our initial consultation I explained she had 67 lbs of fat, and would have to lose 31 lbs of it to get to her ideal weight of 112 lbs…  Her response, “that is impossible”…  I am never surprise when I hear those words; especially a client her age, but also never surprised, when it happens…  In fact I expect it will happen…

 

Three weeks after her starting her customized plan, she loses 7 lbs of fat, while increasing 2 lbs of muscle…  Her smile lit up her face…  I must say mine left me, when she said, “can I go back to some of my old habits”…  I closed my eyes and I could hear my father’s (earthly father) voice asking me; which girl are you taking to the dance?  What is so strange, it happened more than 30 years ago at my first high school dance… The Beatles were the dance theme, no not the ones in your garden, the group from England…  After I told my Dad who I was taking; he simply said, “be sure she is who you take home”…

 

His advice was so simple, but its wisdom would last my whole life…  He was saying remain faithful to the choices you make…  Bring home from the dance the one you brought to the dance…

 

I opened my eyes and asked my client this question…  What habits created her amazing fat loss in such a short period of time?  Of course she said, “my new eating habits”… Eating four meals a day of quality foods, which had been perfectly portioned to her produced dramatic fat loss; especially in the middle third of her body… She had brought her new habits to the weight loss dance, but now wanted to go home with some of her old ones…

 

Well it is more than thirty years since that first dance, but it taught me a lesson I have been practicing ever since…  I decided long ago I would bring to the dance healthy foods in amounts right for me; five or six meals per day…  My healthy lifestyle would be a faithful dance partner providing me a strong, lean and very healthy body; which was aging slower than the others at the dance…

I still seem to have two left feet when it comes to dancing; but I have masters a three-step system, which has changed the lives of thousands…  Over more than two decades thousands of my clients have brought to their weight loss dance a lifestyle customized to them of right foods, perfectly portioned at proper times…  The Beatles no longer show up at dances, but my concept has stood the test of time…  I still share the wisdom I learned long ago; bring home from the dance the one brought to the dance…
