Well, it's happened again. I've been taken to task by one
of my readers...called out, as it were, for recommending
that you shouldn't focus solely on animal products as your
main source of protein-
-not only that, but he actually called me an 'idiot' on
several popular health and fitness forums...
...check it out...
------------------------------------------------------------
...Rob, that is BS. Animal proteins are known to have the
MOST satiating effect on a person, and you're gonna say
other wise? Are you actually gonna tell people to consume
most of their protein from incomplete plant sources with LOW
bioavailability? Wow. I loved what you have always written
about, until now.
And only 0.5g of protein per pound of body weight? Maybe
that's a good amount just for survival, but if you're trying
to gain muscle, then you'll need at least 1g per pound of
body weight.
Burning Furnace Diet
Sorry, it's a time-tested truth among bodybuilders, and I
can't believe it you are not only telling them they only
need 0.5g but you're telling them to go incomplete plant
protein style on top of that! You should read a little about
bodybuilding nutrition, before you go and give advice.
------------------------------------------------------------
Yikes! Here's a guy with a STRONG opinion, eh? Well, let's
see if we can calm him down and help him burn off that thick
layer of bodyfat that he might still be trying to lose...
...First off, I am well aware of bodybuilding nutrition.
Successful bodybuilders are more often the result of
possessing out of this world genetics for building muscle
(long muscle bellies, etc.) and/or the use of various
performance enhancing drugs-
-If you don't understand this, you haven't been around
bodybuilders enough.
I had followed a so called "bodybuilder's diet" (for about
10 years) with loads of animal protein and most of what I
got was a bigger and fatter body. No one could even tell I
worked out at all...
...I was just another 'fat guy'!
But the point of my message here is not how to become a
successful bodybuilder...as most people are simply not
interested slipping into a speedo, spraying their body with
bronzers, and parading around on stage hoping their pecs
look more shapely to a group of judges.
In addition, nowhere do I recommend to not eat any animal
protein...that is just unrealistic. Hey, I like eating a
great tasting chicken breast or grass fed buffalo burger
just like the next guy...but-
-I AM making the r.ecommendation that you need to understand
that too much animal protein, from a nutrient standpoint,
often causes you to take in more calories overall as you
body will continue to seek out required nutrients that can't
be found in a slice of turkey.
This is an empowering principle that has helped many of my
readers to lose more fat faster.
Most people do not understand the real importance of plant
based foods in fueling the body (and all the nutrients that
come along with that).
Most people are hung up on animal proteins as the focal
point of every meal they eat. In order to get people to
understand that there is more to eating healthy than eating
chicken breasts, it is often required to over-emphasize the
importance of plant proteins...
..It was discovered almost 20 years ago that amino acids
obtained from food combine with amino acids n.aturally made
in the body.
Adequate amounts of amino acids will be obtained if eating
low amounts of animal products c.ombined with plant proteins
from unrefined grains, legumes, seeds, nuts and vegetables
eaten on a daily basis.
Regarding building muscle...do I look like I had trouble
building muscle on a diet lower in animal proteins while
working out just twice a week for about 15 minutes per
workout?
Take a look at my before ph.oto on my website and you'll see
the result of my heavy reliance on large amounts of animal
proteins and 5-6 days a week of misguided workouts in the
gym.(If you haven't seen my before and after pics on my
website, go ahead and check it out).
I don't get any of those "fat guy" comments anymore...
Yeah, the total absence of animal proteins may inhibit
muscle growth slightly, but as I said, I am not recommending
no animal protein. I am leaner and stronger than I've ever
been in my life, versus the 10 or so years when I used to
eat a "bodybuilder's diet" as 252 pounds of walking blubber.

fat burning lesson from a couple of "Italian" guys?
Burning Furnace Diet
Due to the fact that many of my fat burning and fitness
secrets go against the grain of what most people are doing
these days, you can imagine I receive quite an array of
emails from doubters and skeptics.
In fact, I just got another one yesterday which basically
said, "hey, if your system is so good, why isn't e.veryone
doing it?".
They went on to say that they weren't going to become a
student until everybody else around them knew about my Fat
Burning Furnace system and she 'saw it on Op rah'. 'Saw it
on O.prah', I love that.
Well, you know what? I told this reader that she'll
probably never end up becoming a student because the methods
I teach are probably not going to become the norm in today's
fitness industry. Why?
Because the exercise secrets I teach only require 2-3 weekly
workouts of 20 minutes on average. This is not something a
gym or fitness center wants to tell their members. They
would much rather have them living there, 4,5,6 or even 7
days a week.
And the nutrition, mental, and behavior secrets I teach my
students don't make the 'get it all in a bottle' supplement
industry too happy either. That's because I teach reality
and what works n.aturally
I also told this reader to look back in history...typically
the best ideas take a long time to come to the forefront, if
ever. Perhaps the best two examples come from a couple of
Italian guys. No, it's not Mario or Luigi. I'm talking
about Columbus and Galileo.
Columbus proved that the world was indeed round and not flat
as was the commonly held belief at the time. And Galileo
showed that the earth revolved around the sun, not the other
way around, and was punished by the Roman Inquisition for
it.
Others who supported his ideas were literally 'burned at the
stake' for having the same view. (Forgive me for the
rudimentary history lesson ;-))
Hey, if you're not already an FBF student and you want to
wait till you see me on O.prah to become a one, that's fine.
But you'll be missing out on the most efficient way to
getting and staying lean,strong,and healthy that I've ever
come across in my 10+ years of experimentation and research.
And while my company grows, I won't be able to work as
closely with each new student. So for now you really do
have a unique chance to get personal attention from me and
my Fat Burning Furnace team.
I'm not saying I'm Columbus or even Galileo, but I am half
Italian. So please, I beg you, if you aren't already a FBF
student don't decide to become one just yet, don't burn me
at the stake.
If you haven't read my Fat Burning Furnace guide yet, then
you need to go and do that right now.
...I lost over 42 pounds of fat, totally reshaped my body
and dropped my waist measurement by 10 inches, boosted my
energy and health immensely...
...m.y wife lost 59 pounds and went from a size 12 to a size
4 (you can see her pics on the website below)...and we did
it in just a few months with workouts that last just 15-26
minutes performed 2-3 times each week.
It took me years to learn all of the secrets we use...but
you can download my blueprint right now and discover them
for yourself in just a few minutes here:

One size fits all?
Burning Furnace Diet
Whenever I take on a new Fat Burning Furnace reader or
student, I'm often reminded of this basic principle of
health and fitness that most people overlook.
And that is, we're all the same, but we're all different.
How does that apply to getting lean, strong, and healthy,
and why is it important to understand?
It's true that we all have unique differences from one
another. I'm talking specifically about our metabolic rates
and our ability to lose fat or gain muscle.
We all achieve these things at different rates and have
different limits based our genetic programming.
Based on this, many in the fitness world would recommend a
totally different program or system for everybody. In fact,
there are a lot of programs out there that base their entire
systems on these differences alone.
But this is a mistake in my estimation. Why?
Besides being different, basic physiology tells us we are
also all essential the same...the chemical reactions that
take place within me take place in you, your neighbor, and
someone you've never met.
That means we respond very similarly to various stressors
like exercise, and to various nutritional elements as well.
The process of getting a suntan should help illuminate this
concept. While we all vary in terms of the rate at which we
can develop a tan, and ultimately how dark that tan will be,
we still require the same presence of intense sunlight to
get that tan.
(Yes, I know you can go to a tanning salon, but you get my
point). And we also require time away from that sunlight as
our bodies go through the same chemical process to build the
tan.
With these physiologic similarities in mind, we should
realize it is possible to create a baseline set of fat loss
and fitness rules and principles that we can adhere to that
will work for most everybody.
We can then adjust accordingly, based on that person's
ability to handle intense exercise, motivation level,
n.atural metabolic rate and so on.
But the differences are not to the extreme amounts that many
would have you believe. While continually working with new
and existing Fat Burning Furnace students, it's relatively
easy to adjust the baseline programs once they get started.
Some don't need any adjustment at all, while others improve
their success by tweaking their programs up or down a few
percent.
So, yeah, we're all different. But we're all human too.
Knowledge of this basic concept in health and fitness can
save you from years and years of wasted effort in the
"everybody's different" based fitness & diet routines.
If you haven't read my Fat Burning Furnace guide yet, then
you need to go and do that right now.

Will late nite eating make you fatter..
Okay, this is a little twist on the common 'eating late'
question, but can be answered in a similar fashion:
Burning Furnace Diet
First off, if we're talking about a late night meal that is
immediately after a workout (like in our reader's situation
above), there is nothing to worry about.
The most important meal of a workout day is the post workout
meal, as your body is primed to suck up every nutrient you
give it so it can begin the growth and repair process...
...And-
-this meal also teaches your body to store food as glycogen
in the muscles rather than as body fat.
So, eating a post workout meal late a night will actually
speed up your rate of fat burning.
Now, what about a regular old meal late at night?
Well, here's the skinny on this now age old question:
The best way to fuel your body for fat loss is to eat
smaller meals more frequently. And when this is done
properly, you almost always end up eating maybe an hour or
two before bedtime.
And this is OK. (You don't want to eat right before bed
because this will usually keep you awake longer anyway as
you body metabolizes the food you just ate!)
But, you do want to watch out and make sure this late night
meal doesn't include many carbohydrates.
Carbs are our fuel source, and we don't need many of them to
fuel us while we are sleeping...so...
...try and keep that hour or two before bed meal higher on
the protein/healthy fat side of things.
Another thing to keep in mind is that this late night meal
must be part of your overall daily caloric intake. In other
words, it can't be an "added on" meal just because you're
hungry late at night.
Any surplus of calories will end up stored as fat, so as
long as your late night meal is higher in protein & heathy
fats vs. carbs, and one of your regularly scheduled meals or
snacks, you are good to go.
Also know that not eating for 4 hours or so before bed can
actually make it harder for you to build or even maintain
fat burning lean muscle mass...so eating before bed (when
done properly as described above) is actually one of the
best things you could do for overall fat loss.

Slow Down...
If you've followed my newsletter a while, or are an FBF
student, you know that slowing down your exercise will
actually speed up your phat loss and fitness results...
Burning Furnace Diet
...AND did you also know that slowing down how you eat will
also speed up your phat loss? Yeah, it's true! Check it
out:
Research has shown again and again that the longer a food
stays in your mouth, the more quickly your taste buds will
get tired of the flavor...which in turn makes you satisfied
with eating less of it!
Go ahead and use a smaller fork and take smaller bites to
push this effect to the max...
When you start applying this to all of your daily meals and
snacks, you'll automatically eat less without really
noticing, which can lead to faster fat loss...plus, you'll
actually get ot enjoy the tastes of your food a lot more
than if you eat rapidly like most folks do these days...cool
huh?
Alright, I've gotta go, so enjoy the call and I'll be back
with more fast fit tips soon...

Why am I Fat!!
Let's face it.
If you looked and felt your best... you wouldn't be reading this.
You're here because you carry around an extra 15... 30 or even 60 pounds of ugly fat.
And you're tired of it.
Maybe you packed it on over the last 20 years... maybe it's all new weight.
It doesn't matter. Either way, you hate what you see when you look at yourself in the mirror...
Or worse. You don't even look in mirrors anymore.

I wish I could find something that worked for me
Burning Furnace Diet
A few years ago I had a pal who always struggled with his
weight and would try just about every fad diet or latest
exercise gimmick under the sun to remedy his troubles. He
was a low carber for a while.
Then he was doing Tae Bo when that was big. Next he tried
restricting other essential foods in the hope of burning off
body fat. And a few months later, he was back to the low
carb routine, but this time almost no carbs.
You know the story...he would tell me he'd been losing
weight on his new diet and was all excited about it. Then a
few weeks later when his body just couldn't stand the
restrictions and unusual eating habits, he'd be forced to go
off that diet.
Then one day while we were at lunch he was lamenting about
the fact that he'd gained the weight he'd lost back rather
quickly since going off his latest diet. So he was going to
go back on the low carb strategy once again. Coincidentally,
it was around this time that I was assembling all of the
research and experimentation I had been doing on the Fat
Burning Furnace system.
So I brought up the fact that I had uncovered some a.mazing
techniques that allowed me to lose 40+ pounds of fat and
develop a lean, muscular and healthy body. I explained that
I could help with his situation and how easy it would be to
implement. And that's when I heard it. "I wish I could find
something that worked for me", he said. After that he
promptly placed his order with the waitress for a "low carb"
meal. 15 h.ot wings.
A path to success was literally staring him in the face, but
all he could say was that he wished he could find something
that worked for him...and gobble down 15 h.ot wings. I
began to help him each day by feeding him some of my FBF
secrets...but you know what? He didn't use any of them. He
didn't change a darn thing.
I realized a long time ago that even if you put the right
information in the palm of someone's hand, it's ultimately
up to them to take action and get to the doing part of it.
And most people don't take action...most people don't get to
the doing part. My pal sure didn't.
Burning Furnace Diet
I also realized that getting and staying lean, strong, and
healthy for life requires more than just a few tricks or
tips. What is really required is a changing of what's at the
core of one's struggles with their health and fitness.
And in most cases at that core is the person's basic
lifestyle. How they eat, sleep, exercise, etc. I'm talking
about the core values of how they live. This is very, very,
very different from going on a diet or trying the latest
aerobic exercise craze.
If you take the steps to create a new lifestyle in the place
of your old one, you're solving problems at the source,
which is essential if you want lasting and powerful results.
But again, you have to get to the doing part of it.
As I've said many times before, if you don't change what
you're doing today, you absolutely will not change your
tomorrow. My Fat Burning Furnace techniques and secrets
help you to do that.
If you haven't read my Fat Burning Furnace guide yet, then

of your old one, you're solving problems at the source,
which is essential if you want lasting and powerful results.
But again, you have to get to the doing part of it.
As I've said many times before, if you don't change what
you're doing today, you absolutely will not change your
tomorrow. My Fat Burning Furnace techniques and secrets
help you to do that.
If you haven't read my Fat Burning Furnace guide yet, then
you need to go and do that right now.
...I lost over 42 pounds of fat, totally reshaped my body
and dropped my waist measurement by 10 inches, boosted my
energy and health immensely...
...m.y wife lost 59 pounds and went from a size 12 to a size
4 (you can see her pics on the website below)...and we did
it in just a few months with workouts that last just 15-26
minutes performed 2-3 times each week.

INTERVIEW WITH ROB POULOS
Burning Furnace Diet
Q: So obviously you are a big fan of weight training when it
comes to burning fat. Should people train the same as when
they're trying to gain muscle?
RP: Yeah , in my experience, they should. But the weight
training we use is not like you see most guys performing in the
gym these days. We don’t use split routines, we don’t throw the
weights around, and we don’t have ladies lifting soup cans or
using rubber bands. From my experience all of these things will
get you worse results or injured. The main goal of my Fat
Burning Furnace exercise program is to burn fat, of course, but
the underlying goal that leads to this is building lean muscle
mass.
And this scares some ladies and even some of the men who read my
book..they don’t want to get too bulky. But, as I said, this is
a near impossibility for 99% of women and even some men due to
the genetic requirements (muscle belly length, testosterone
levels, etc.) of having overly large muscles. Now, sure, you
could gain weight and look bulky by eating a ton of calories
while you’re building muscle, but you’d just be fat and
puffy like I was several years ago.
The only thing more lean muscle is going to do to a ladies body
is make it more feminine, shapely, and se.xy.
Burning Furnace Diet
Q: That’s right,and it’s something we still need to get the word
out on to women everywhere for sure. Rob, what are some common
mistakes you see people making when trying to lose lots of fat
and get ripped?
RP: Oh man, there are so many . I mean, there are basic large
scale diet mistakes, like restricting yourself of carbohydrates
too much (which won’t work in the long run), eating too few
calories or starving yourself, eating a low fat diet and
eliminating healthy fats, and not eating enough of your calories
from nutrient rich foods.
Then there are big exercise mistakes, like spending 4-6 days a
week in the gym with hours of boring fat storing cardio and then
hours more of low to moderate intensity weight training on top
of it. People are using terrible form with their exercise,
which takes most of the stress off the muscles being worked and
cuts their effectiveness by at least two-thirds. Ladies are
afraid to work out hard in fear of getting to bulky.
I mean I could go on,but I actually have a video I put together
for my newsletters subscribers that tells you my top 7 mistakes
people make.Your readers can watch it after they subscribe at my
website if they wish.

Here is more on our discussion..
Burning Furnace Diet
Q: Rob, a lot of people on the cover of fitness products that
have great physiques are just born with great genetics. From
what you mentioned, this is obviously not an advantage you
had. Can you tell us how exactly you were able to overcome your
fat loss and fitness challenges?
RP: I simply wanted it badly . I hated being overweight and just
felt crummy all the time. I had low energy. I was embarrassed
to take my shirt off in the summer, you know, all the
stereotypical stuff, except it was very personal for me.
I also didn’t carry much muscle on my body genetically. I’m
rather tall (6’6") so looking muscular is even tougher for me
than someone of average height. I was over fat, yet under
muscled. Talk about the worst of both worlds. But I’m not the
kind of person that just gives up. I must have tried a hundred
different programs or diets during those 10 or so years.
The steps I took were basically trial and error,and a lot of
wasted money. But you know, it really wasn’t wasted because if
I was able to gain just one new insight or technique to add to
my method, it was worth it. Especially with results I’m able to
obtain for my readers and students now.
At some point I basically realized that exercise and nutrition
for building muscle and getting lean is a science, just like any
other science. There are things that must be included in your
regimen or else you cannot expect results. Period. The beauty
of it is, that for other people, I can show them how to get it
done like my wife and I did in just a few months and without
having super human motivation or spending even 1 year of more
trial and error.
Burning Furnace Diet
Q: That’s awesome..now Rob, you specialize in teaching people
how to burn fat from their bodies. Can you give us some
nutritional tips for burning the most amount of fat in minimum
time?
RP: Oh yeah. There’s a lot of stuff,but perhaps the most
important tip I can give anyone trying to get and stay lean is
to look at food from a micronutrient standpoint. Most people
look at food from a macronutrient view (protein, carbs, fats).
This is fine, but the big light bulb went off for me when I
started to focus on eating most of my calories from foods that
are super loaded with nutrients. These are vegetables, fruits,
whole unrefined grains, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds. I’m
not talking about a vegetarian or vegan diet here, but a diet
that supplies the body with the nutrients it requires to burn
fat optimally. When you give your body the required nutrients
without overloading it with nutrient poor or nutrient barren
foods, fast fat loss happens almost magically.
Q: Now I also know you're not a fan of cardio. I usually teach
cardio as a great way to burn fat. Why do your methods not
include cardio?
RP: Let me be extra clear on this one, because my stance here
confuses a lot of people. First off, I think it is a waste of
time trying to "run off" your calories to burn fat. This
attitude will just wear you out over the long haul, and simply
doesn’t work as well as controlling your calories through diet
techniques. Also, studies have shown that regular moderately
paced cardio, where you run or bike at a steady pace for 30+
minutes several times a week actually causes you to store more
fat! Here’s why this is the case.
When you’re doing this
exercise, your body is using stored fat for fuel. This may
sound good, but what this is actually doing is telling your body
that when it encounters this activity again it needs a reserve
amount of fat available to fuel the exercise session. I know it
sounds crazy, but it’s true. On top of that, most avid runners
can tell you about the injuries and nagging pains they have from
the constant repetitive pound their joints and tendons take over
the years...not something I would wish on my worst enemy!
Now, what does work for burning fat quickly is what’s known as
interval cardio. And I know you know all about this , with your
stair routines. This is where you perform a relatively short
cardio workout (usually 15-25 minutes or so) and you alternate
periods of high to low intensity during the session.
So you might spend 1 minute jogging at a light pace, and then
immediately switch to a near sprint for 1 minute straight, and
then repeat the process several times. This type of exercise
uses stored carbohydrates for fuel, not fat, so it sends a
signal to your body to replenish your depleted muscles rather
than storing a reserve amount of fat. Very different from the
standard type of cardio that I loathe!
But believe it or not, I don’t even do this type of interval
cardio in my own method. Why is that? Well, it’s because I
realized a while back that the #1 activity you can do to burn
fat is weight training or some form of resistance training.
This has to do with the fact that adding lean muscle to your
body creates a powerful fat burning furnace that will
automatically burn more calories at rest...significantly more.
What we’ve done with the type of weight training we do in Fat
Burning Furnace, though, is combine interval cardio with weight
training to create one short and simple fat burning, muscle, and
strength building work out. Many people have called it the most
efficient fat loss and fitness work out ever created.

Burning Furnace Diet
Thursday, September 10, 2009
I wanted to let you listen in on this...
I'm really excited because I just had the chance to interrogate
one of the hottest names in fat loss and fitness, Rob Poulos.
Rob is the author of "Fat Burning Furnace" at
Burning Furnace Diet
and specializes in helping both men and women lost fat quickly
and permanently with his brief and infrequent workouts and
simple diet principles.
He and his spouse lost over 100 pounds of fat combined in just a
few months with his methods, and thousands of his readers are
getting similar results (you can read more quotes on his
website).
He really let loose in the interview, so I thought you'd enjoy
listening in...
Q: Rob, thanks for agreeing to let me interview you today. For
those out there who don’t know much about you, can you give us a
little background and how you were able to make such an amazing
transformation in such little time?
RP: Sure, and thanks for having me. You know, I first got
interested in this whole fat burning thing mainly to meet girls
when I was younger and I’m not ashamed to admit it! But
seriously, I kind of struggled with my weight most of my life.
When I was in my early 20s, I got interested in bodybuilding
(mostly through watching too many Arnold Schwarzenegger movies I
guess!). But I saw it as a way to get the kind of lean muscular
body I wanted. Not the blown up steroid bodybuilder look, more
like the look the bodybuilders of the 50’s &60’s had, you know,
the kind that attracts the opposite sex and makes your friends
jealous! But I realized real fast that achieving these goals
doesn’t happen overnight.
I also found out, after years and years of trial and error, that
90% of the fat loss or muscle building programs and products
were just plain garbage. They were either created to simply
make a quick buck, or would only work on people who were already
born with great lean muscular genetics. You know the type. I
had one buddy who would work out lazily, with very little
intensity, and pretty much eat pizza after pizza and still look
dynamite when he was at the beach.
I also learned that most of the programs out there either
required you to spend 4-6 days in the gym with long cardio
workouts plus weight training workouts, restrict yourself of
carbs until you were mad at the whole world, or both!
This stuff just plain frustrated me, and so I went looking to
create a fat loss and fitness method of my own as I couldn’t
find one that allowed me to get in killer shape without having
to give up the foods I loved or most of my spare time.
And after about 10 years or so, I felt as though I had perfected
the method as once I started using all of the techniques
together, I was able to finally drop over 42 pounds of body fat
and 10 inches off my waist. I was also building slabs of lean
muscle and strength, this happened over the course of just a few
months. My wife even lost 59 pounds during this same period and
went from a size 12 to a size 4.
But what really excited me , was that we did it without cutting
carbs out of our diet and by only working out 2-3 times a week
for just 15-26 minutes per workout. And no cardio whatsoever.
We both hated long boring cardio, so we were like a couple of
kids at Christmas.
So, obviously when our friends and family saw the changes we had
made, we got a lot of mixed reactions. Some were jealous and
not supportive, if you can believe that! But most wanted to get
my secrets and kept telling me, "you have to write a book, you
have to write a book".
Burning Furnace Diet
So that’s what I did. I put everything down to paper and even
shot some videos detailing my method so people could just copy
my plan themselves. And it’s been fantastic helping thousands
and thousands of people from all over the world with my Fat
Burning Furnace program,helping them finally lose that stubborn
body fat and develop a new level of self confidence in
everything they do. So that’s where I am today and it feels
great!
