Ohhhhh, so sneaky...

Well, I’m writing this report sitting about 100 feet in the air out by the pool on an

81 degree day here in downtown Tampa, Florida. So, given that I’m feeling

pretty “laid back” at the moment I hope you don’t mind (i.e. I hope you enjoy) the

conversational tone of the next several pages—after all, you signed up to receive

this report from me, so I think that pretty much qualifies us as friends at this point,

right?

Yes…it does. 

So, you want to learn some strategies to start losing fat faster, huh?

Yeah, well who the heck doesn’t?

Just kidding.

Truth is, I’m stoked that you’re super interested in faster fat loss techniques

because that’s exactly what I have in store for you over the course of the next 27

pages—some really cool, under-the-radar methods you can start using

immediately to help you significantly increase your rate of fat loss today.

Not tomorrow, today.

So, listen up (or “read up” I suppose), take some notes, or just go ahead and

print this bad boy out, bust out a highlighter (and a protein shake), and prepare to

get your learn on. Why? Cause a little bird (aka myself) told me that fat loss

guru Super Joe Mario is about to let the cat out of the bag on some of the

sneakiest fat loss tricks he knows, and it’s all going down right now.

----------------------- Page 6-----------------------

Sneaky Trick #1 – Eat Pizza (No, seriously)

Alright, within Sneaky Trick #1 I’m going to be unveiling what may be some

repeat info for some of you (i.e. those of you who are super cool and already

follow a lot of my teachings), but in order for the rest of the report to make sense,

I simply have talk about the regulation of bodyweight and metabolism and the

numero uno way to avoid the negative adaptations of long-term calorie

restriction, less affectionately termed “dieting”.

“Oooooo…”

I know; I need to watch my language.

So, you go on a diet, and week after week the weight continues to come off like

magic—eat less and exercise; that’s all there is to it.

Yeah righhhhhhhhht.

If only it were that simple.

In fact, if it were, we’d probably all be sportin’ abs and bodies resembling those of

the supernatural Greeks—after all, the results in and of themselves would be

motivation enough to keep going.

Point in case:

I don’t know of anyone who went off a diet when things were smooth going and

fat was falling off at record speed, do you?

No…you don’t.

----------------------- Page 7-----------------------

Unfortunately, the sad reality is that things just aint that easy.



Go on a diet and a few weeks later your body SCREWS you by doing everything

it can to keep you from losing fat further.

Now, while you may think that your body is a just a jerk (and it may be, I mean, I

don’t really know your body to say one way or another), it’s actually much more

likely that your body cares deeply about you and is trying to protect you.

Huh?

Well, you see, starving is not cool. Believe me, John Romaniello tried it and it

totally wasn’t.

So, when you’re “starving”, your body attempts to counteract the lack of food by

“saving” your own body fat. Why? Simple: fat = warmth and energy (two very

important things for your survival when food just so happens to be scarce).

The problem is that your body doesn’t really know the difference between

starving and dieting. After all, the latter is simply a “planned” lesser degree of the

former.

I’m using quotes way too much; I’ll try to do better.

For those who didn’t quite catch that, dieting = starvation on a slightly lesser

scale. Bottom line, you’re taking in fewer calories than you need and to your

body that’s a problem, and a substantial one.

----------------------- Page 8-----------------------

So what does it do to correct the

problem? Fun stuff: slows

metabolism, decreases fat burning

hormones, increases fat storing

hormones, and “protects” your current

body fat stores. All not good in terms

of fat loss results.

The major player in this whole chain of

events is the hormone leptin.

Consider leptin the “big daddy”

hormone from which all other weight

loss hormones get their cues.

In fact, leptin plays such a huge role in the starvation protection process that it’s

actually referred to as the “anti-starvation” hormone.

Understanding leptin:

Leptin is regulated by two things. One is your calorie intake. A high calorie

intake equals high leptin levels while a low calorie intake equates to low leptin

levels.

When leptin falls, so does metabolism and fat burning (which you don’t want, in

case you didn’t know).

So how do you “diet” (i.e. eat fewer calories) without having low levels of leptin

causing your body to decrease metabolism and fat burning?

Interestingly enough, leptin’s waning response to dieting is a gradual one. It

takes about a week of dieting for leptin to significantly decline (by about half).

----------------------- Page 9-----------------------

So, after that one single week—a whopping 7 days—you’re sitting there at about

50% of your fat burning potential.

WACK.

Fortunately, there’s good news. Scratch that—GREAT news.

Let me ask you a question: Do you like pizza? Of course you do. Everyone

loves pizza and everyone knows that.

You love this.

[dirtwarrior]

----------------------- Page 10-----------------------

What if I told you that you could use pizza (or any other food that you absolutely

love that “diets” just don’t let you have) to reverse the negative adaptations of

dieting, skyrocket leptin levels, and send your body right back in to the fat

burning zone in as little as 24 hours.

It’s all true.

I know, tears of joy. In fact, I can remember

the first time I read those 307 research

papers on the regulation of human

bodyweight and metabolism all pointing to

pizza for fat loss. I cried all night…and then

ordered Papa John’s at 2am. It was

awesome.

To summarize: while it takes about 7 days

for leptin to decline significantly, it only

takes one day of overfeeding or “cheating”

to bring leptin levels back up to normal and

put your body back in to the fat burning

zone.

And that glorious day is what I have frequently referred to in my previous writings

as the Cheat Day.

Now, in order to make cheat days work for optimal fat loss every other day of the

diet needs to be strategically set up to optimize the fat loss results of that day,

but the fact remains, if you’re dieting 7 days a week, week after week, you’re

screwed.

That approach yields several possible outcomes, none of which are desirable.

----------------------- Page 11-----------------------

If you truly want to lose fat consistently, week after week, you need to have

higher calorie days built in to your program.

And you know what? 1,000 calories of pizza works better than 1,000 calories of

oatmeal.

(Apparently there are lame people who, when instructed to “go off their diet”,

respond by eating more oatmeal. I know, I know…me either…but it’s true.)

So, why does something like pizza work better? Well, the answer, as usual, is

research derived!

Hey, I’m a research junkie, which means as long as you continue to stick by my

side you’ll never have to read that boring crap yourself.

Anyway, the research shows that leptin is highly correlated with another

hormone: insulin. When insulin goes up, so does leptin, and vice versa. Which

foods have the highest insulin response? Those containing both high glycemic

carbohydrate + fat. In fact, the insulin response of these foods is said to be

synergistic (if you don’t know what that means, here’s a good resource:

http://dictionary.com)

So, stuff like Mac & Cheese (I’m not sure why I capitalized that), pizza,

doughnuts, cookies, Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cups, pastries, ice cream and

anything else that combines carbs + fat all work exceptionally well to raise leptin

levels and reset metabolism.

You could of course go with a “cleaner” choice like pasta + cheese (lasagna

anyone?) if you don’t want to eat cookies. I, however, will continue to enjoy my

Double Stuff ®.

----------------------- Page 12-----------------------

There’s only one thing better than Double Stuff ® Oreos ®.
Quadruple Stuff ™. Yeah, baby. (That’s my trademark, by the way).

Oh, and the other thing that affects leptin levels is body fat levels. That is, higher

body fat levels = higher levels of leptin and lower body fat levels = lower levels of

leptin. This is one of the reasons its easier to lose fat when you have substantial

body fat to lose up front, as opposed to the considerably more difficult feat of

going from lean to super lean.

Either way you look at it, for each pound of fat you lose it becomes increasingly

harder to lose the next pound due to fallen leptin levels. This also contributes to

progressively slower fat loss as you get leaner.

But, wouldn’t it be cool if there was a way to continue to lose fat exceptionally

fast even as you get leaner? Well, there is, but in order to do so it requires a

VERY strategic approach, and some rather extreme methods.

----------------------- Page 13-----------------------

Fortunately, that’s exactly what I teach in the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet – exactly how

to combine those extreme methods in the most strategic possible sequence to

yield the fastest possible fat loss in order to take you from where you currently

are to the point in which you’re absolutely “shredded”, as they say, without a

single “lull” in your rate of progress.

And have no fear…more coming on that front very soon. Until then…

Sneaky Trick # 2: MASSIVE Calorie Deficits
(That Actually Work)

A pound of fat is 3,500 calories.

So, to lose 10 pounds of pure fat, you need to create a 35,000 calorie deficit.

By the way, she’s only holding 5 lbs of fat.

----------------------- Page 14-----------------------

(please realize that 10 lbs of fat loss will probably equate to somewhere

between 15 and 20 lbs of actual “weight loss” due to the simultaneous water loss

that occurs any time you lose fat).

So, a 35,000 calorie deficit, huh? That’s easy. In fact, if you didn’t eat anything

for 15 days, combined with exercise, you’d probably burn even more than that

and finish up absolutely shredded after only 2 weeks of sacrifice, right?

WRONG.

Due to the leptin and regulation of body weight and metabolism reasons shared

previously, you’d be wasting a heck of a lot of time and sacrifice for some pretty

crappy results should you choose to go with the above method.

In fact, you’d probably end up looking “sick” and still fat. Way to go…

Creating massive calorie deficits (by not eating) simply do NOT work for optimal

fat loss and physique transformation, and those looking for a quick fix all too

often fall victim to trying something so silly in attempt to wake up next week with

the body of their dreams.

Simply put, you’re body is smarter than these elementary methods, and it will

very quickly put the kibosh on your fat burning efforts in favor of protecting you

from starving to death.

So does that mean that the “slow and steady” road is the only path to fat loss, or

that rapid fat loss is a dead dream?

Nope! It just requires “smarter” methods that keep you one step ahead of your

body, always in “good standing”, instead of repeatedly aggravating it by denying

it the nutrients and energy it needs to function.

----------------------- Page 15-----------------------

So how can we be smart about rapid fat loss?

Well, there are a number of ways (that when combined in the most strategic

fashion equal super duper killer fat loss results), but one of the pieces of the

puzzle is to create a massive calorie deficit that actually works because it’s timed

appropriately in conjunction with a time in which your body is very receptive to fat

burning.

Hmmmm. When might the body be super primed for fat burning?

I’ll let you think about that for a minute…

(HINT: Reference Sneaky Trick #1)

That’s right! After a day of dietary indulgence! Fact is, after a Cheat Day, your

body is massively primed to burn fat. Leptin levels are at their peak, in addition

----------------------- Page 16-----------------------

to other important fat burning hormones, and your body is READY and WILLING

to use fat for energy.

So, it’s after a high calorie day that you’ll want to create a massive calorie deficit

via:

1. minimal calorie intake

2. massive energy expenditure through optimized exercise

Essentially, you’re creating a huge calorie deficit on a day in which your body is

extremely primed to burn those calories as fat AND when metabolism is at its

highest point.

Make sense? Good.

Now, you may be wondering, won’t such a massive calorie deficit just throw your

body back into “starvation mode”? Not when you do it appropriately and set it up

in the most strategic way possible.

Two things you’ll need to do:

1. Use effective supplementation practices to protect against muscle loss

while also buying you some time before your body “finds out” that your

calorie intake is so low

2. Utilize what I call the “Triple X” approach to exercise, involving resistance

training and multi-energy system training

Let’s discuss effective exercise strategies a little more in detail now – onward to

sneaky trick #3!

[dirtwarrior]

----------------------- Page 17-----------------------

Sneaky Trick #3 – Strategic Exercise
Implementation and Periodization

If you can learn how to use the most effective exercise strategies to “mirror” the

goals of your diet each day (while mixing up dietary approaches to yield specific

hormonal and metabolic benefits in the most effective manner possible) you can

literally take your results from “okay” to out of this world.

Now that sounds complicated, so I’ll give you a quick example. Let’s take, for

instance, the day after a Cheat Day in which the overall goals are to:

1. Create a large caloric deficit

2. Deplete maxed-out glycogen stores (carbohydrate energy stores within

the body) caused by the previous day’s influx of carbohydrate

3. Exhaust all energy systems to satisfy #1 and #2 while burning additional

fat calories to boot

To accomplish these three goals, we’ll use a series of dietary and supplemental

strategies to do exactly that while using exercise strategies that accomplish the

same goals, for example:

1. Strategic lactic acid based workouts to burn massive calories and

glycogen while stimulating the release of important fat burning hormones

that further increase lipolysis (fat burning)

2. Strategic energy systems work that contain both anaerobic “carbohydrate-

burning” and aerobic “fat-burning” components.

----------------------- Page 18-----------------------

Combining those types of exercise with dietary strategies that accomplish the

same goals leads to a ridiculous fat burning effect.

Essentially, when you set up things this way, you’re tackling your goals via both

diet AND exercise. That’s like going after your financial goals via landing a job

with a kick-butt income coupled with smart investing. One feeds the other, or as

my buddy John Romaniello says “One hand washes the other, and both hands

wash the face.”

The face, in this case, obviously being your fat loss results.

Anyway, the above is just one example. Within the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet we

have FIVE different “types” of diet days (all with slightly different goals) and a

very specific exercise strategy to use on each that has led to some of the

“sickest” fat loss results we’ve ever recorded to date with our clients.

Make no mistake, working with your diet, hand in hand, through exercise that

mirrors the goals of each diet strategy can literally double your results beyond

just “working hard” on each day . The synergy of strategy never ceases to amaze

me.

Sneaky Trick #4 – Pre-Cheat Depletion

There is absolutely no doubt about it, Cheat Days accelerate fat loss through

strategic hormonal manipulation that keeps your body out of starvation mode.

That being said, a day of dietary indulgence can lead to a smidge of fat gain,

which, if the goal is to lose fat as quickly as possible, is not desirable.

----------------------- Page 19-----------------------

So, let’s say you gain .5 lbs of fat as a result of a Cheat Day (these are just

hypothetical, yet “reasonable” estimates) and then lose 2.5 lbs of fat over the

course of the next week.

If you’re able to duplicate those numbers week after week (and when starting

with renewed metabolism and elevated levels of leptin each week you will be), a

net loss of 2 lbs per week aint too shabby.

But, what if you could avoid that .5 lbs of fat gain every week and burn an

additional half pound of fat each week? That’s the difference between losing 20

and 25 lbs within the same 10 week period, or 25% MORE results.

Well, this slight “problem” (if you even want to call it that) has been something

I’ve been experimenting with solving over the last months through something

called Pre-Cheat Depletion.

That’s right, the consistent fast fat loss that I was previously able to accomplish

with clients wasn’t enough for me. I knew there was room for improvement and

simply put, I wanted to make it better…I wanted results to come faster. That, my

friends, is the dedication I have to my clients and customers.

Enter Pre-Cheat Depletion.

We know that along with a Cheat Day will come a massive surge of calories and

carbohydrate leading to massive glycogen/carb storage within the liver and

muscle tissue.

Now, let’s assume that glycogen stores are 60-75% full prior to a Cheat Day.

Naturally, those stores are going to fill up rather quickly with a massive

carbohydrate intake on the Cheat Day and some of those carbs are likely to spill

over to fat storage. Not all, but some.

----------------------- Page 20-----------------------

So, let’s solve this problem.

On the day prior to the Cheat Day, we’re going to go with:

1. A diet very low in carbohydrate so as not to “add” to the carbohydrate level

currently in the body

2. Specific glycogen depleting workouts designed to empty the body’s

current carbohydrate stores in order to “make room” for the following day’s

splurge

The result? You get the SAME leptin boosting, metabolism elevating effect from

the Cheat Day without having to worry about ingested carbohydrate spilling over

to fat storage.

Why? Because the preponderance of the carbohydrates you ingest are going to

go towards re-filling glycogen stores, not fat stores.

Yes, awesome, again.

By the way, the workouts we use on depletion days of the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet

have some unique fat burning properties of their own. So, not only will you

deplete carbohydrate stores, you’ll also increase your weekly fat burning at the

same time.

Pretty cool, huh?

Yes, it is. In fact it’s almost as cool as Craig Ballantyne holding a kettlebell

randomly in a green pasture with a prairie dog beside him.

[dirtwarrior]

----------------------- Page 21-----------------------

Almost.

Sneaky Trick #5 – Multi-functional Cheat
Days

Well, we already know that Cheat Days can help you avoid fat loss plateaus

while regularly enjoying your favorite foods and burning more fat than you ever

could while staying “strict” with your diet, but what else can they do for you?

You mean there’s even more? Yes, there is.

----------------------- Page 22-----------------------

And I know what you’re thinking: “Holy crap, Cheat Days really are the best thing

to happen since sliced bread.” Now to be fair, I can’t really vouch for that first

hand, but I did ask some people who used to know some people who used to

“break bread” as opposed to slice it back in the day, and they agreed—that

invention was the real deal.

This is the real deal #2 – Anabolic and Catabolic Cheat Days.

Previously, you may have heard the term catabolic or catabolism used in a

“negative” way in reference to the break down of muscle tissue or muscle-

wasting, but catabolic simply refers to any process in the body in which a

“breaking down” of tissue occurs.

So catabolism of fat certainly is a good thing. And that’s how we’re using it here:

cheat days set you up for massive fat catabolism over the coming days, but did

you know that they can be anabolic, too? Not to fat tissue, but to muscle tissue.

How? Remember Sneaky Trick #3? We choose our exercise selection based

on the current day’s diet to yield optimal results.

So how can we optimize the influx of calories, carbohydrates and anabolic

hormones that are all too present throughout the entire course of a Cheat Day in

order to maximize results?

Well, you could do nothing on a Cheat Day, which provides no additional benefit,

or you could do the smart thing and use those calories, carbs and hormones to

spark new muscle growth by performing a strategic high volume “muscle-

building” style workout as you enjoy your Cheat Day feast.

This has several benefits:

----------------------- Page 23-----------------------

1. You’ll never feel fuller or experience a “pump” like you will while doing this

style of workout on a cheat day. The workout just “feels” amazing.

2. Going from depleted to “full” while performing a high volume workout will

create the most anabolic effect of any workout, period. Such a drastic

change in your nutrient intake and overall hormonal and metabolic state

coupled with high-volume training yields the craziest “supercompensation”

effect ever.

To clarify, I’m not saying you will build boatloads of muscle by using this method

(while being in a calorie deficit at most other times), but it can undoubtedly help

you add several pounds of lean muscle as you diet and lose fat rapidly (via rather

extreme methods), which is pretty much unheard of otherwise.

Bottom line: When you’re able to add some lean mass during your fat loss

journey you’re going to look a HECK of a lot better than the all too common

“emaciated” post-dieter who generally ends up LOSING 5-15 lbs of lean muscle.

Like this guy.

----------------------- Page 24-----------------------

In fact, my buddy and fellow fitness author Vince Del Monte and his wife Flavia

used this very technique as they prepared for a professional photo shoot and

together did the “impossible”: went from lean to super lean (the hardest feat in

fat loss) while gaining lean muscle in the process.

You see, it’s pretty much an “accepted truth” that you’re going to sacrifice some

muscle when attempting to get that lean, but you know what? Neither of them

did…at all. In fact, Flavia increased her lean muscle by a pound and Vinny put

on THREE and a half pounds of lean mass over the course of just three weeks

while working down to single digit “photo ready” body fat.

Oh yeahhhh, that’s hot.

With strategy, you can do “the impossible”, and it’s simply because your methods

are smarter than the methods that people deemed a task impossible with. And

that’s essentially what the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet is all about—the fastest fat loss

----------------------- Page 25-----------------------

you’ve ever experienced—period—resulting from the most strategically set up

diet and exercise program ever designed.

If there is one “lesson” that you take away from this report (in addition to all the

cool fat burning info), I hope that it’s this:

Hard work does NOT, in and of itself, equal results. In fact, most times it doesn’t.

Intense efforts + Inefficient methods = Frustration.

Effective strategy + Effective methods + Hard work = Xtreme Results.

Lose up to 25 lbs in just 25 days? It’s all in the strategy and it’s all coming your

st
way May 1 . I’d probably go buy a new belt if I were you…
