Weight loss programs reivews
There are a variety of programs for weight loss available online. You've no doubt seen advertisements spruking massive weight loss for minimal or no effort! The results that many promote are not typical (or even possible in some cases)! You should not choose a program simply because they claim you will lose X pounds in X days. Anyone can make these claims and then use a couple of photos to try and sell the story.
Instead, look for a program that has helped people lose weight and keep it off. You will need to find one that will suit your lifestyle, current fitness level and budget (not everyone can afford expensive equipment). It also needs to be something you are interested in. After all, for real success you will need to keep at it for more than a week!
We have reviewed 5 of the most popular weight loss programs for a range of fitness levels. At the time of writing each one comes with a satisfaction guarentee. Please have a read through and find a weight loss program that suits you. Always keep in mind that there are two important components to the weight loss equation: ENERGY IN (diet) and ENERGY OUT (influenced by exercise). Any additional calories you eat will offset the calories burned during exercise (which is good if you want to stay the same weight). If you want to lose weight and keep it off, both diet and exercise are important. Ideally you will want to use a program that increases your metabolism (the amount of calories your body burns, even when you are not exercising).

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle Review
Purpose: Lose fat, gain muscle
Developed by: Tom Venuto
His story: This guy is a respected fat loss expert, natural bodybuilder, and personal trainer. He is most famous for this program, which is reportedly the highest selling electronic book on fat loss and muscle gain in history, and with good reason.
Level: Beginner and intermediate.
Rating: 4.5/5 STARS
The program: This program includes detailed information on almost all elements of successful, healthy, sustainable fat loss. Burn The Fat dispels many myths surrounding what can be a confusing topic. The focus is on fat loss (rather than simply weight loss). By reading Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, you will learn more about fat loss than you could from mainstream diet publications at your local bookstore. This program will allow you to determine your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate, or the amount of "maintenance" calories your body requires every day), and you will find out whether you are carb tolerant or carb intolerant. If you are after a fad diet this is not the program for you. It doesn’t focus on quick fixes. Instead it promotes long term solutions to help you lose fat and gain muscle (as the title suggests).
Extras: No extras on offer at the time of reviewing this product, however, the book is already very comprehensive and represents good value in my opinion.
Comments: If there is any problem with this product, it is that it contains too much information. There is a lot of fantastic knowledge enclosed in these 340 pages. However, because of the quality of the content, the ease of navigation and the easy reading nature of the text, I think anyone who reads this book will report that it was extremely helpful.
Verdict: A great read. Very informative. Fair value for money given its comprehensive nature.

The Diet Solution Program Review
Purpose: Lose fat; increase health and vitality.
Developed by: Isabel De Los Rios
Her story: Nutrition and exercise specialist with 11 years experience helping clients reach their ideal weight. Isabel has a strong educational background in nutrition and exercise physiology.
Level: Suitable for anyone
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
The program: The Diet Solution Program is intended to be a complete weight loss program. The manual is really a comprehensive nutritional guide. It is detailed and easy to follow in teaching you the principles you need to follow to finally reach your ideal weight. It gives you meal plans, shopping lists and tasty recipes. I liked that it didn’t push some extreme, unreasonable way to lose weight or a ridiculous fad diet. It actually teaches you how you can make this healthy way of eating into a sustainable lifestyle, which is important if you want to maintain your lower weight. She really shows you that you can eat delicious food, combined the right way, to lose weight and maintain it. Some reported side effects of the whole program include increased health and vitality, decreases in blood sugar levels amongst people at risk of type 2 diabetes, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, elimination of digestive discomfort and cleared skin conditions. Personally, I didn’t really have any problem with these things to start with. However, I can see how these benefits would come about from the sustained healthy eating that occurs as a result of this program.
Extras: Free 7 day starter kit.
Comments: I’d recommend this program to people who are unlikely to stick to an exercise plan, but who want to lose weight primarily by healthy eating. This program is good if you want to lose weight without feeling hungry and want to keep your energy levels up. I liked that the program focused on maintaining a healthy body and not resorting to extreme, radical methods or fads.
Verdict: Very good, comprehensive nutrition guide. If you are curious about this program its worth checking out Isabel De Los Rios’s website to get further understanding of the program.

The Truth About Abs Review
Purpose: Lose fat, get great looking abs
Developed by: Michael Geary
His story: Personal trainer and nutritionist. He is mainly famous for this program which is the most popular program available online. Many people have had success with this program.
Level: Beginner and Intermediate
Rating: 5/5 STARS
The program: This program is as much about nutrition as it is about exercising your abs… and this is the key to great abs. Michael Geary knows that there is no point in using latest fad stomach machine if our diet is rubbish. The nutritional information stops short of giving you specific recipes to follow, but it does allow you to begin to put together the right kinds of meals in your own kitchen. The abdominal routines are certainly great if you want to develop a six pack or firm up that stomach. But this program's greatest strength is the way it is put together in such a comprehensive fashion. It covers motivation, nutrition, fat loss and a great abdominal exercise program.
Extras: DVD ‘5 Keys to fat loss’, 4 motivational audios, 8-week dumbbell program
Comments: If you are simply looking to lose some weight and have a nice looking stomach then this is the program for you. Its straight forward and comprehensive for this purpose. If you are looking to develop peak core strength and stability for a particular sporting endeavour then I’d probably choose a different program.
Verdict: If you want a comprehensive program to get washboard abs then this you won’t be disappointed with this program. I think the whole package is pretty good value.

Combat the Fat Review
Purpose: Build muscle to lose fat (muscle mass increases your metabolism)
Developed by: Jeff Anderson
His story: Former fitness instructor in the U.S. military.
Level: Beginner and Intermediate
Rating: 4/5 STARS
The program: The program is based on the premise that gaining muscle is the best way to lose fat and keep it off. There is no question that this is a very important principle for those who want to stay healthy and look good in the long term. Without my existing level of muscle mass, I’d probably be a little overweight myself given the quantity of high calorie foods that I enjoy! However, one of the reasons I do resistance training is to maintain my weight at its current level through boosting my metabolism, so this program really resonated with me. The program includes 3 guides. The first explains the details of military fitness programs. The second includes a comprehensive workout plan and workbook. The third is a very good nutrition guide to complete the package. Each guide is succinct but comprehensive enough. I was surprised at how well written and entertaining each guide was. The program is tailored separately for men and women.
Extras: None at the time of writing this review. But for the bargain basement price you pay this program is still good value.
Comments: I enjoyed the straightforward and entertaining nature of the guides. The fact that the guides are not too long will be appealing to some. This is a good value program with great information. It has an 8 week money back guarantee for piece of mind.
Verdict: If your looking for a quality program on a budget, then this is the best option available. If you don’t mind forking out a little extra then I’d go with either Vince DeMonte No Nonsense Guide to Muscle Building or Jason Ferraggia’s Muscle Gaining Secrets. That being said these guides are great value.

Firm and Flatten Your Abs Review
Purpose: Lose fat, get great looking abs
Developed by: David Grisaffe
His story: Personal trainer, strength coach, health and lifestyle coach
Level: From beginner to advanced
Rating: 3 STARS
The program: This no frills guide includes comprehensive exercises (with photographic demonstrations) for your core musculature as well as dietary information to boost your metabolism to help you burn up the fat. The exercises are wide ranging with variations to allow individualised progression rather than a one size fits all approach. There is no need for any of those machines you see on the infomercials to get great results, this guide uses proven principles that are worth following. One thing I liked was that rather than just try and build up a six pack (rectus abdominis), other muscles that stabilise and support your back are also targeted. This is one of the few principles that have actually been shown to reduce the risk of back pain in the long term. It comes with an 8-week money back guarantee.
Extras: 5 ebooks (Eliminate Lower Back Pain, David Grisaffi’s Walking Guide, Modern Diet Secrets Revealed, Yoga Stress Relievers and Stretching and Flexibility Success Secrets)
Comments: This is a comprehensive core muscle building program. The extra’s add value. It’s useful for people who don’t have access to a gym. I thought the nutrition information was better in The Truth About Abs.
Verdict: Not bad if you are after a no frills comprehensive core workout. Its quite cheap so is a good budget option.
