Subject:
I wanted to let you listen
in on this...
Hi FIRST
NAME,
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
http://YOURAFFID.zthfitness.hop.clickbank.net
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...
To your
health and
fitness,
YOUR
FIRST NAME & LAST
NAME
----------------------------------------------------------------
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".
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Q: Any
other fat burning tips you
want to share with
us?
RP: Well,
I suppose the big thing
lately is that everybody
wants
to lose
their belly fat and get
ripped abs. The main
problem
here is
that people still think
they can lose belly fat
without
losing
fat in any other place on
their bodies. But the
reality
is you
only use fat uniformly,
throughout the entire
body. It
may seem
like it’s not coming off in
those problem areas,
but
that’s
only because you have more
of it there. You need
to
focus on
lowering your overall body
fat percentage and
that
belly
fat, thigh fat, butt fat,
or wherever fat will come
off.
Also,
hours of situps or any of
those ab gizmos on late
night TV
will not
reduce your belly
fat. You could have
the strongest
abs in
the world, but if they’re
covered by a blanket of
fat,
you’ll
never see them.
So to
summarize:focus on eating
most of your calories from
foods
loaded
with nutrients. Use
interval cardio and/or
intense full
body
weight training to build
muscle and burn fat, 2-3
times per
week.
Or if you’d like, you can
simply copy my method that
I detail in my Fat Burning
Furnace
book.
You know
that movie "Back To The
Future", right? One
of my
favorites.
Man, sometimes I think what
I would give to have
that
Delorean
so I could go back in time
a few years and give my
Fat
Burning
Furnace plan to my former
fat and frustrated
self. The
money I’d
save. The hours and hours
of frustration
and
embarrassment
I’d save. That would
be nice!
Q: Now
Rob, I understand you’ve
just create something
special
for those
out there who are ready to
stick with their new
year’s
resolution
for fat loss?
RP: Yeah,
I have...and here’s what’s
happening. You know
at the
beginning
of each year, everybody and
their brother vows to
lose
weight as
one of their top new year’s
resolutions. But I
think
the
latest figure is that 97%
of them do not succeed in
doing
this,that’s
just crazy. So I wanted to
do something to help
spur
people to
success that thus far has
really eluded them.
So what
I did is
put together 5 additional
fat burning bonuses to
really
give them
no more excuses to finally
achieve that lean and
fit
body they
really want this
year...
So first
on the list is my 8 secrets
to a new year’s fat
loss
resolution
solution. The reason I put
this together is that
I’ve
found
it’s not usually a lack of
discipline that stops
people
from
realizing their fat loss
goals in the new year, but
just a
lack of
knowledge of some simple
but powerful techniques
that
those
that are nearly always
successfully with their
resolutions
use
themselves. So I’m
providing that
here.
Next, I
am giving away an archive
of my most helpful fat
loss
and
fitness tips and tricks
that my newsletter
subscribers have
received
over the past 2 years or so
now this is really
cool
because I
often reveal a lot of tips
that are not in my
Fat
Burning
Furnace book in the
newsletter. So at over 145
pages,
there’s a
lot of value there
obviously.
And on
top of these two, I’m
giving away 3 downloadable
mp3
audios of
my own interviews with 3
dynamite health and
fitness
experts.
One is with a guy that is
an expert at helping
you
manage
your personal energy so you
can really change
your
lifestyle
for the better fast.
Another is with a guy
that
specializes
in helping people develop
unstoppable motivation
for
fat loss
and other life goals.
And the last interview with
a
world
famous trainer who has the
fastest workouts I’ve
ever
seen, 4
minutes per workout, it
sounds crazy, but there
is
actually
hard science to how these
things work. And all
of that
is
revealed in these
interviews.
Now, I
can’t obviously give these
5 bonuses away for free
for
too long,
so what I’m doing is,I’m
going to give them
away,
free, to
anyone who claims a copy of
my Fat Burning Furnace
book
at my
website before midnight
Wednesday, January
30th. That
means the
latest you can get your
copy is 11:59pm on Tuesday
the
29th,so
again, you get all 5
bonuses just for grabbing a
copy of
my book.
We just started giving
these bonuses away a few
days
ago and
people are really digging
them. I mean the emails
I’m
getting
from people are just
awesome!
Q:
Alright, well thanks again
for giving up your time
today
Rob..you’ve
really shared some fat loss
tips.
RP: Sure
thing , it’s been
great.
Q: Now,
you mentioned your
newsletter and all of those
New
Year’s
bonuses with your Fat
Burning Furnace book.
Where can
people go
to sign up for the
newsletter and get the
bonuses?
RP: Oh
yeah, if your readers would
like to get my
complimentary
eNewsletter,
which comes with a free 40
page ebooklet by
the
way, as
well as learn more about my
Fat Burning Furnace plan
and
the 5
limited bonuses, they can
visit my site
at:
