10 weight loss and fat loss web-courses to kick start the year!

Since the idea of hiring a personal trainer and nutritionist to help you burn that holiday fat off might no longer be part of the plan given how many of us have seen our retirement funds shrink, I decided to search for some courses and training programs from top fitness and health experts at a fraction of the price they would charge as a one-on-one consultation.

I’ve found a number of great courses to help you get back into shape in the New Year that won’t break the bank.

In these recessionary times, it’s going to take a lot more effort on your part to be accountable for your weight control program because it’s going to be harder for you to be able to justify a personal trainer or a nutritionist. For women living in cities where gym memberships can run as high as $100-$200/mo, these types of low-cost-high-results courses will be such a relief for your wallet.

It’s true that things are harder these days and the inflation on the cost of food is insane. This means it might take a bit more effort on your end to maintain a healthy body weight or to lose unwanted weight.

Here are some great weight loss and fat loss courses/programs to help you kick start the New Year on the right foot and they will really no cost you more in will power and determination than in dollars and cents:

1) The Organic Transformation: This program is a two-step program to weight loss and wellness and an introduction to a healthier way of eating and a healthier way of living. I think the major problem with yo-yo diets and this endless search for the ideal weight lies in the fact that 95% of the North American population has no clue as to what they should and should not eat and the “WHY”.  I like this book because it follows my own views about food and diet. I don’t own a scale “never have” and I usually know how much I weight from my annual check-ups and then during the year I evaluate how my clothes feel to determine if I’ve gained or lost weight. I never obsess about foot (unless I’m put in a situation where I cannot find healthy food choices to eat) and I always am very conscious of which foods I buy and which foods I eat.  The Organic Transformation course teaches you everything you need to know to start losing weight and it also gives you a 22-day meal plan with recipes to help you get to your ideal weight! What I also like about this course is the fact that you also get a bonus of 4 motivational podcasts to keep you going.

2) Top Secret Fat Loss Secret: Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst has a very different approach to weight loss than most doctors. She believes that most people are fat because they are not addressing some of the real issues preventing them from losing belly fat and trimming down to a healthier weight. She’s very direct in her approach and doesn’t hesitate to be quite bold. In fact, I’ll let you experience her boldness yourself with this statement:  “The reason you can’t lose weight has nothing to do with your will-power, over-eating or the right diet! … the reason you are fat and unhealthy is because you have disgusting plaque and horrible little ‘critters’ living in your guts … and now I’m going to show you how to get rid of all of it so you can shed 10 lbs, 25 lbs, 50 lbs even 100 lbs or more – and keep it off forever!!!”

3) Burn the Fat Feed The Muscle: Burn The Fat is a fat loss Bible and has been a perennial best-seller since 2003! After six years on the market this course is still popular because Tom Venuto provides fat burning secrets of the world’s best bodybuilders and fitness models! Tom Venuto’s program is based on the same exact methodology as those models (the ones you see on the cover of all those fitness magazines) use to reach digit body fat levels and achieve rock-hard muscle definition that makes them look like walking anatomy charts. In this course, Tom Venuto will teach you how to lose fat without killing your metabolism, lose fat without drugs and lose fat without supplements. Tom Venuto’s system is base on his 24 years of bodybuilding (he was competing for 18 of these years) and his experience as a personal trainer, nutritionist and motivation coach.

If you want to learn Tom Venuto’s secret and discover why his course has been a best seller for 6 years, click here for more details: Burn the Fat Feed The Muscle (by way, this is a 337 page fat burning training program).

4) The Diet Solution Program: The Diet Solution Program is a culmination of 15 years of Isabel De Los Rios’ personal research into what are the absolute best ways to achieve a healthy weight and feel great. She’s bringing her 15 years of trial and errors that include: following unhealthy dieting schemes, wasted money on worthless supplements and following some pretty extreme plans. Changing her eating habits have helped Isabel lose 30 lbs and clear up a life time of acne and increased energy. Isabel’s experience has also benefited her mother who was able to take better control of her diabetes AND lose 40 lbs!

5) The Fat Loss Troubleshoot: This program created by Leigh Peele is designed to help trim down, lose body fat and lose belly fat. Leigh is a personal trainer and she’s worked with models, athletes, bodybuilders, TV personalities and regular Moms and Dads to help them achieve their fitness goals. Leigh’s program goes into detail into pin pointing and troubleshoot fat lose via a complete 150 page course.

6) Eat Stop Eat: Brad Pilon’s program is quite different from other weight loss/weight control programs on this list. Brad Pilon wrote Eat Stop Eat to help people understand the amazing weight loss results they can get by using a simple combination of flexible periods of intermittent fasting and weight training. Having done periods of fasting myself, I do know firsthand how fasting (with the supervision of a medical doctor) can help rid your body of trapped toxins that might be preventing you to achieve your ideal weight. Brad Pilon created Eat Stop Eat for people who are frustrated and overwhelmed by trying to follow the rules of “bodybuilder style nutrition”. This is not for everybody because of the way this eat program is structured.

7) Precision Nutrition Program: eat your way to a slimmer body!

This nutritional program will help you get the body you’ve always wanted but that has eluded you up to now due to not having all the facts about fitness, food and nutrition.

Dr. John Berardi’s Precision Nutrition program uses the same techniques he’s used his own personal coaching client and athletes to build a healthy and lean body (at any age!). You’ll get help figuring everything from female fat loss to male muscle gain and you’ll also learn exactly how to get to your chosen goal as fast as possible, and stay there permanently.

The Precision Nutrition system is a complete program that includes the following step-by-step tips:

#8) Can you be ‘Fit over 40′? – Yes, you can have a hot body after your 40^th birthday … and your 50^th … and your 60^th … and your 70^th … and even your 80^th! If you take care of your body, your body will respond favourably with each passing year. If you just don’t know where to start, you might want to read “Fit over 40″. Jon Benson has created an e-book specifically dedicated to men and women over 40 who wanted reshape and redefine their bodies. Jon Benson’s Fit over 40 concept is one of the most popular ones.

9) Did you know that women hate their legs, butts, hips and thighs? It’s safe to say that if you were to ask any woman in any country on this planet which parts of her body she dislikes the most, I’m almost 100% certain that she’ll tell you that she doesn’t feel all that comfortable with their legs, butts, hips and thighs.

The reason why so many women feel uncomfortable with that part of their body is because as you age if you don’t have a regular fitness program that you follow week in week out, your body will change and expend.

Joey Atlas is a personal trainer who specializes in helping women target the part of their body they are most self conscience about: legs, butts, hips and thighs. He’s developed an entire course on trimming and firming the lower part of women’s body!

10) Have you tried Dr. Jonny Bowden’s Diet BootCamp yet?

“According to the Center for Disease Control over 60 per cent of Americans are overweight, and over 30 per cent of Americans are obese.” The statistics for Canada and the U.K. are not much different! The rapidly rising rate of obesity is of great concern because obesity is a risk factor for several potentially fatal diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, osteoarthritis, and some cancers.

Dr. Jonny Bowden is a maverick in his field and this is due in part to his unique training. Although Dr. Jonny is a certified personal trainer, he also has a PhD in nutrition and a Master’s degree in psychology.

If you know you need to lose weight, and you’ve tried and failed at diets in the past (who hasn’t?), then I strongly urge you to check out Dr. Jonny Bowden’s Diet BootCamp.

Dr. Jonny Bowden will also give three great bonuses to Boot Camp participants!
