Today I had burger an wedges..your thinking how can you lose weight eating that?

Turkey burgers wrapped in lettuce with cucumber and sweet potato wedges with mixed herbs sprinkled over...even my six year old daughter enjoys this meal!

Bread isn't the quick answer start wrapping your food in lettuce leaves or even better king size mushrooms as a sandwich...thinking out the box provides more variety to your diet

Ians 14 day fat blast formula transformation- Day 10

Hey guys here's day 10 of 14 of my Transformation....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVMVnrMlK3E&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I went shopping today at Bury's outdoor market, I prefer market shopping for three reasons

1. I like to support local businesses

2. The process from out the ground to my plate is quicker and provides me with more essential vitamins

3. Apart from the obvious increased taste quality theirs less chemicals splashed all over my food - which makes Ian a happy boy

So go and buy local, support local farms and feel the difference on your plate

The Green Eyed Monster...

If you've been following my 14 day transformation over on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9bwuZ5CU5wnNCzA5MfCX8A?feature=watch you'll know that I'm currently tweaking my Fat Blast Formula...I'm currently nine days in and feeling pretty damn good!

Now of course being a fitness professional fruit and vegetables are part and parcel of my everyday life, but obviously I've not always been a 'Fitpro'. Before finding out the importance and nutritional value that was held in fruit and veg, I only ate foods that I liked so broccoli, sprouts, plums etc got swerved (I was a nightmare at the kitchen table as a kid ha).

As disgusting as it sounds I have force fed myself the food (or fuel) my body needs and you know what, I now enjoy these foods!! I personally think over time your body adapts to the way you eat and finds the goodness in it.

Now on my new Fat Blast Formula I have really increased my greens intake, green leafy foods help fight cortisol levels (fat around the belly), lower oestrogen levels to prevent all your weight landing on your bum and thighs, create fresher looking skin to name a few benefits. So start adding in Broccoli, Sprouts, cabbage, Kale, Spinach and Green Tea to your everyday life. 

One thing I have started to do is drink a shot of greens drink first thing in a morning along with my breakfast to give my body an extra boost, here's the recipe I slightly adapted from Patrick Holford....

Half a handful watercress, rinsed and dried

Half a handful leaf spinach, rinsed and dried

Half a handful of basil leaves

Half a handful or parsley leaves

1 good drizzle (about 1 tbsp) of extra virgin olive oil

Squeeze of lemon and orange to taste

*Add cucumber for a thinner texture

**Blend together and serve

If you haven't got time to make this up on a daily basis and want something ready made I highly recommend Paul Mort's Lean Greens drink over at http://www.facebook.com/LeanGreens

Hey guys here's day 6 of 14 of my Transformation....

I've placed a mid afternoon snack in my plan as I felt my insulin levels were low around 2/3 o'clock..when your insulin levels drop your more prone to snacking on sugary food to boost your levels back up, this is where most people fail on food plans so by putting in a snack (preemptive eating) and keeping my insulin levels at a steady state I reduce my need for a quick fix.

Hey guys here's episode 3 of 14....

http://youtu.be/88cS4NkZKp0



I'm currently using fat storage as energy. All that saved up fat is getting placed into my blood stream, my body will start getting rid of these toxins by one of four ways peeing, sweating, sneezing or pooing!

It takes dedication to get to here to start reaping the benefits :)

I was privileged and really excited this week to be asked to do an interview by the UK’s leading fat loss expert- Paul Mort of thefitnesscamp.co.uk .


Paul tours the UK and Europe teaching Personal Trainers and fitness instructors how to get great results and he’s personally mentored me.

Here’s some of the interview we did:



PM: So Ian, can you tell us a little bit about how you got into the business of weight loss and a little about your journey. I know you haven’t always been in shape.

IF: Ever since school I've always enjoyed exercising and finding out new cool ways of training. In 2005 I put on 3-4 stone and became severely depressed about my weight, I knew there was only me who could do anything about it. I started devising my own workout programmes and nutrition plans for myself . If I knew then what I know now It would have been a quicker journey for sure! Anyway I dropped my weight and my friends started to notice and wanted to know what I did. I would bring them along to my workouts and give them advice. Three years later and I decided to become a qualified Personal Trainer because I loved the feeling of helping people get in shape.



PM: Wow, you really have ‘been there, done that’. Now lets get into the meat of the interview. What would you say are the 3 MOST IMPORTANT things when it comes to losing body fat

IF: The three most important things...

I would say Commitment is key, You can drop weight by just dropping calorie intake and exercising more slimming clubs make a killing on this mentality but to drop actual body fat and to create a hot body is a whole new ball game, taking certain things out of your diet, training smart instead of I'll just run on this treadmill for 2 hours and being able to say no takes commitment.

Mindset is another, you need to be focused and driven towards your target, eating a little bit of what your mind fancies doesn't work, eating what your body needs does!

And finally nutrition taking rice, pasta, potatoes, high sugared fruit, processed food, coffee, tea, to name a few out of your diet and live off the lands food meat, fish, veg, nuts, water etc. will torch body fat like you've never seen before. People think that clean eating is depriving yourself of foods, I say them foods your 'depriving' yourself from have contributed to why your not happy with how your body looks now.



PM: Great stuff. So what would you say are the 3 BIGGEST MISTAKES you’re seeing people make

IF: Giving in to easily to cravings, look I know it's hard but it a case of fighting through and getting to the other side. I've had clients give up their 8-9 cups a coffee a day by fighting through you know what within 2 weeks they're thanking me for feeling fresher than ever.

Joining a slimming club, I kinda get it because yes them guys do drop weight but after they drop the weight within a couple of months they put it back on you see the facebook status 'Back to slimming club on Monday'. Them dudes are the biggest Yo-Yo dieters going.

I do think listening to their first circle of influence e.g. friends, family, partners. I watched a Brian Grasso video talking about these circles of influence on your life and you know it made perfect sense. They always say things like 'you don't need to lose weight, you look fab as you are' & 'This little treat won't harm, you deserve it'. In reality thats not supporting you, that shits destroying you.

PM: you know, I see those all the time too and it makes me a little sad. So what would you say to motivate someone to finally get into great shape, even if they’ve tried everything?

IF: You may have tried everything, but you've not tried me!..I pride myself on social proof, my formula works time & time again and guess what I even guarantee my work.



PM: I’ve heard A LOT about your Fat Blast Academy, can you tell me a little bit more about it and the training and nutrition plan that seems to be getting superb results?

IF: It's all down to the individuals, I give them the tools and those guys smash every week. We train hard every day and they have specific food plans to follow to detoxify the body and zap the fat hence the reason not everyone gets accepted. You need a certain mentality to have my time and if I think your wasting it then your out.



PM: There’s a boatload of other bootcamps in your area- what makes your Academy so different?

IF: Whats different?.. Show me the results the other bootcamps are getting, they're all come down and workout- it's basically a circuit class for everyone and anyone! We ease people into it with a beginner levels so there's no 'im unfit' excuses, we are constantly monitoring our members fitness levels, water, fat, muscle inches, moods. We are a family who supports each other and motivates. I like to educate on the whys, hows and what’s to what we're doing. We probably have members down their who know more than most personal trainers.



PM: Sounds amazing, in fact a lot of the principles make complete sense. So where can people find out more about you?

IF: Email info@tlffitness.com ,our website www.tlffitness.com

Your poisoning your body...and you don't even know it!!

I first stumbled across Aspartame when my Mum was diagnosed with Fybromylgia. For people who aren't sure about fybromylgia, it's a chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) which over time eats away at the bodies immune system to leave it ineffective. The side effects of Fybro are depression, muscle fatigue, lack of get up and go, aching muscle & joints to name a few, Aspartame acts as fybro's devil child.

After taking aspartame out of her diet she reaped the benefits within 2 weeks, feeling fresher, not as down in the dumps and being able to squat down and bend her joints (anyone who knows or has fybro can relate to this achievement).

To put the power of aspartame in perspective, it was once used in rat poison and is banned in certain countries. Aspartame was actually never been tested on humans before being approved.

Aspartame is a food companies dream, it taste as sweet as sugar, it has little to no calories in it. The companies can serve you low sugared alternatives with the same great taste of full sugar....errrrr no! What they can actually do is put a form of poison into your food to encourage headaches, migraines, dizziness, tumour's and even cancer.

Aspartame decreases weight loss efforts by stimulating the release of insulin and leptins making the body less resistance to them therefore increasing fat levels in the longer term. Also as a side note did you know that choosing a diet alternative e.g diet cola (containing aspartame) over full fat cola can actually make you eat an approx 140 extra calories, so ultimately making the diet decision backfire.

11 products that contain Aspartame:

• Diet Drinks 
• Yogurts
• Chewing Gum
• Cooking Sauces
• Crisps
• Tabletop Sweeteners
• Drink Powders
• Flavoured Water
• Sugar-Free Products
• Cereals
• Children's Medicine (Scary!!)

If your happy with what aspartame does to your body and happy with the fact it use to be used in rat poison then crack on doing what your doing...If not – Change your eating habits now!!

P.S

Did you know I've recently launched The Fat Blast Academy in Heywood, We drop, on average, a dress size every 2 week. Email info@tlffitness.com with the subject line 'GET ME BEACH BODY READY' for a special introductory offer.

P.P.S

We don't accept anyone & everyone. So if your not ready to commit 100% to both exercise & nutrition to create your dream body Fat Blast Academy isn't for you.
