Diet and nutrition does not have to be as complicated as you may think. I was hanging out with Isabel recently and pulled out my video camera to capture her #1 recommendation to lose weight through diet.

Diet is the topic of discussion for this week. Everyday this week I will be answering your nutrition questions as well as providing you with reviews of the diet programs that I’ve followed during the past 5 years. Your diet is going to be the biggest contributor for successfully losing weight. If your diet sucks it will be nearly impossible to lose weight no matter how much you exercise.

With that in mind, if you want to achieve fast weight loss and keep it off permanently, you need to incorporate resistance training, cardio, and mindset training into your program.

Let’s kick off Diet Week with a question from a fellow Unstoppable Fat Loss reader.

Question: Scott, I really have a lot of respect for you’re opinion that’s why I’m asking for your guidance. I feel lost lately. I have lost about 50 pounds watching calories, but now I want to take it to the next step.

Tom Venuto is the ‘go to guy’ when it comes to the most effective strategies to burn fat and today marks the beginning of a new era in Fat Loss. Tom has officially announced the pre-release of his hardcover book “The Body Fat Solution“. I have only had the chance to review one chapter from the book so far which happens to include a reference to a husband and wife team named Scott and Angie so at this time I can’t provide a full review of the book for you.

I do however find it necessary to bring Tom’s new hardcover book to your attention and Tom so graciously provided me with a press release to share with you to give you a little insight into what you can expect from The Body Fat Solution.

Below, I’ve included some questions that Tom answered describing the difference between his #1 Best Selling Diet Book “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” and his new book “The Body Fat Solution“. I encourage you to read those answers. For now, here’s the Press Release…

Are you lacking the motivation to stick with a diet and exercise program? Let’s face it. It doesn’t matter how effective a nutrition or workout program is, if you are not motivated to follow through and use it to the best of your abilities, the weight loss program becomes utterly useless.

Recently I was interviewed by Sincere Hogan as a series dedicated to raising money for the victims of Hurricane Ike. Sincere grilled my friend Scott Colby and I on the topic of mindset and motivation and we dished out some great information which I am certain will accelerate your fat loss results.

Here are some of the questions that Sincere asked us…

I’ll be the first to admit that simply being active with your children is not enough to get 6 pack abs. But there is no doubt in my mind that being a fun and active family plays a key role in my fat loss success. There has always been a direct correlation between my weight and the amount of physical activity that our family is involved in. I attribute this to the fun factor of fitness.

Here’s a video of a fun and active day that I recently shared with my family. You’ll crack up at the 2:44 mark in the video. You have to watch it to see what I’m talking about

During this family adventure we went on a 1 mile boardwalk, hiked through the forest, rode our bikes for 3 miles, walked along the beach, climbed trees and rocks, and simply had an all around great time.

There is absolutely no reason for you to become bored with your cardio program. With the variety of training methods whether it be long duration, HIIT, or any other form of interval training it’s never been easier to add a little spice to your cardiovascular training.

If your cardio program has become stale, I recommend that you perform the bodyweight cardio workout that Craig Ballantyne demonstrates from the Turbulence Training Program by clicking play on this video.

Here is what Isabel had to say after completing the first Unstoppable Fat Loss 21 Day Transformation Contest…

21 days and beyond…

Who knew that 21 days could result in such a vast array of changes in my personality and outlook?
When I first joined the program I thought it would give me a motivational boost to encourage me to stay on track with my clean eating and exercise. I needed something to keep me away from ice cream and chips for the rest of the summer… boy was I surprised at all that I got in return.

I just received a great email about how natural foods like fruits and vegetables are all a part of Nature’s Pharmacy. It’s pretty neat how each fruit and vegetable below show distinct characteristics of what body part they impact the most with their nutrient rich properties. Take a look at the pictures below along with the body part that they effect the most. It’s pretty awesome!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye…

And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

Friend and fellow fat loss expert Craig Ballantyne has really impressed me lately. He has been sharing some very effective fat loss workout videos from his Turbulence Training Program and I would like to introduce you to these workouts throughout the week and have you give them a try for yourself.

To kick off “Craig Ballantyne Week” here at Unstoppable Fat Loss, I would like you to do this great workout for the abs that Craig has put together. As you can see from Craig’s picture he certainly knows what it takes to get a great set of abs.

Like Craig, I don’t do sit ups or crunches during my ab workouts and I don’t spend a lot of time working my abs either. If you want great abs, the majority of your success will come from a solid nutrition plan.

Hello! This is a concern worldwide. How much mercury is in the fish? How many portions should I consume in a week? Where did the fish come from – ocean or farm raised? What does this mean?

From the recent research I did, this is what I can share with you:

1. Sardines and Herring – have the highest levels of omega 3 fats of all fish. A 3 oz. portion equals 1.3-2 g. of omega -3 fats.

2. Mackeral – choose a smaller fish, this will equal less mercury in it. Your best buy will be from sources: Atlantic (Boston), Pacific (Jack), and Spanish (Mack) because of the high levels of omega 3 fats and lowest levels of mercury. A 3 oz. portion = 1.1 to 1.7 g. of omega 3.

3. Salmon – 3 oz. portion = 0.9- 1.8 g. omega 3 fats. Choose from either WILD salmon or better yet, ALASKAN salmon which has cleaner water. A trustworthy farming company that has ‘raised salmon’ is the Atlantic Salmon of Maine.
