My First Impressions

A Long Sales Page

When I first started looking at the program and writing the truth about abs review, I was skeptical about program about six pack abs sales page. It looked like every other weight loss book, plan or system out on the market - pockets of too much "over promise" was my first reaction at the time. As I continued however, the reason I bothered to keep reading what the program was about is because I had nothing to lose.

The reason is that I have read many similar looking weight loss exercise programs and had been given advice from personal trainers down at my local gym.

But since I simply couldn't stick to a exercise routine (maybe because I never saw the results I wanted) I simply stopped focusing on what the fitness experts say.

Although I didn't see results, I was still convinced that there was a solution for me...after all, abdominals are not a myth, they are clearly achievable, as we see them everywhere...and just like you, I wanted to find out how to get six pack.

The big problem I thought of first was that the program guide is ridiculously large. I was really pumped up to learn how to lose belly fat and get 6 pack abs quickly, but didn't realize that I would have to read so much!

With the truth about abs program, I guess that I've got my money's worth and it was already clear to see that Mike Geary, the author, is not just very knowledgeable about getting 6 pack abs, nutrition and general fitness, but he's put a lot of effort and time into creating the program guide.

Continuing to read the inspiring introduction, it became crystal clear that the Truth About Abs ebook is equally suitable for women and men alike. I kind of liked the idea that Mike points out "You do not need to do all of these exercises and use all of the equipment mentioned in order to get the outcome that you desire".

The basic message here is that the Truth About Six Pack Abs program has set out to remove the myths about fatloss and help you to eat and exercise right, in a way that suits you.

The guide It is not so much about becoming a body builder, but instead get a lean body mass so that your 6 pack abs show through naturally...only at this point can you decide if you want to build your muscles from there on out.

For this reason, it is probably why 60% of buyers of guide are women... because there is a stronger emphasis on fatloss as opposed to bulking your muscles up. This makes sense really, as we all have abs...it's just the flab that covers them which is the problem... so if we can get rid of that fat then we're going to automatically see a toned stomach and abs as a result.

Does The Truth About Abs Really Work?

Words of Encouragements

Throughout the guide, there's quite a lot of material to prep you before you actually get into program specifics, and even when you think you're about to get to the actual core, you encounter a pre-motivational section.

I personally think this is an excellent thing, because it really puts you in the right frame of thinking for getting the most out of the course. It's really clear just from reading the plan that Mike Geary is determined that this program will work for you, and ensure you take action and stick to this system.

I also like the fact that Mike points out: "There's no such thing a poor genetics, no such thing as no time...". This was the much needed prep talk that I needed to propel me forward...

Abandon All You Know About Food

The guide immediately moves onto diets and nutrition. In which Mike points out the importance of this information being just as (if not more) important as any fitness exercise you will ever do. I totally agree about this even before trying out the system. All in all, what good is exercise if we eat 4000 calories per day?

This section of the program is very intense. I think you would be amazed at how much there is to discover about eating correctly, In it Mike shows the hard facts about the food industry, and what you've been led to believe about fats, carbohydrates, sugars, whole grain, insulin and much more.

This is a major insight when I read this, it made me think twice about the stuff I was cramming into my fridge and kitchen shelves, just thinking I was doing the right thing like the media and those flashy magazines report.

What was amazing to me was the part about eating the right fats to make you thinner! I'm not sure if you've heard of such things before, but at once I soon realized how little info I knew about nutrition.

From here Mike goes into greater depth about fad diets, and why they not only ineffective, (why do you think there are so many released each year?) but why they are essentially damaging to your health.

I personally, was never a fan of these types of diets anyway, but I have a low carbohydrate diet before and ended up with a whole range of side effects such as poor sleeping habits, mood swings, low concentration, low energy and all kinds of aches and pains.

My best advice is, whatever you decide to do please be sure to avoid the temptation of fad diets...they're just not worth your health! In the program, the diet and nutrition section is more than adequate to resolve the myths about eating correctly, but thankfully it doesn't come in the form of some restrictive program or precise plan.

The guide literally re-teaches you about food and nutrition, so that you can go grocery shopping more wisely and eat more sensibly al without having to munch on lentils or rabbit food.

A Lesson from Biology 101

As soon as you have gone through the food nutrition section of the guide (this might take a while, but it is worth it, considering that this section is the building block to real weightloss), you have entered into a biology 101 lesson...

This section is all about how to get a six pack, and it kind of feels like I am back in school with all the diagrams, charts and scientific talk!

My feeling is this section is pretty detailed and although I can understand why we have been taught about this, I feel a little bored with reading through this. With some of this info I was tempted to skip ahead, but I didn't because there was some important details on body positioning.

As you keep reading through the guide you move onto new sections which actually explain why certain abs workout routines don't work, along with the recommended exercises. This is where the bulk of the program really starts to kick in.

Although there' has been a lot of reading up until now, Mike Geary does a good job of laying out the info in a way that makes sense to read

and flows in the order that it must be learned. Towards the end of chapter 5 we're starting to get actual lists of good and bad abs exercises, along with real life pictures of Mike performing them. These exercise images are really clear and are accompanied by easy instructions so that you know what to do.

I started these exercises at home, but there was one routine that I couldn't do properly in my apt which was one of the leg raises, because you need to have a chin up bar, which I have got...but you also need space above the bar to make the routine work properly, otherwise your legs hit the ceiling!

I found all of the remaining abs exercises to be really easy to do and didn't need any special equipment to do them. However, although I could definitely feel the effect these exercises were having at the time, I couldn't say the routines alone were anything you haven't seen or heard of before.

Workout Routines 411

With this in mind, after you've go through the images and instructions you're hit with the routines that Mike recommends which will incorporate these exercises.

It's good that Mike provides different levels, as I was ready to move from Level 2 which I started out on almost immediately (but that's because I was impatient to begin with).

My thoughts are these workout routines are pretty easy to do at the early levels, but you soon start to feel the intensity as you progress forward. Just make sure you don't rush it like I did. The exercises are not exactly groundbreaking fatloss routines, but still there's so much more to a lean and toned body than the workout at the gym, as you'll see for yourself if you read the guide.

Metabolism and Calorie Burning at Full Throttle!

At this point, Mike then has a section on metabolic training and why we see many people slogging away on treadmills and other cardio equipment and complaining about getting not getting results. In the past I had often spent hours busting my guts and reaching a point of almost feeling sick, with nothing but a large gut to show for it.

In this part, the guide was a real eye opener for me personally, as I am sure it will be for yourself as well. In reality, the answers are a bit more complicated, also be prepared to get a complex lesson before you're shown the exercises that you should be doing.

One thing I did notice about Mike's programs is that you'll get a serious slice of the theory and education upfront, which is great, if you have some time to read and learn, but what I liked about all of these sections of learning are they are followed by specific routines that you can literally start and run with from the beginning.

The Negative Points

* Volume of Information

One of the things that put me off a bit at first was the volume of information that I was confronted with after downloading the guide.

I'm an average reader, and I was kind of wanting to get started the program right away.

If I felt like that, then I am sure there must be others people who felt the same way too. Although I would imagine that others would also say that it's good value for money and that you should read the guide and just take action.

* No Special Exercises

I also thought that a many of the exercises were not new or special, many of them I had seen before in other programs and magazines.

I also must say that it is more to do with how the exercises are combined into a specific routine and nutritional plan, so I am not sure it it's fair to judge the guide on that basis alone.

* No Audio or Video files

Apart from these points, the only other thing I would say is it would have better to have some of the information shown in either an audio or video format. This is just my personal choice, but I do think that it would make program better for learning, especially if you're not a big reading.

In fact, I would suggest that you to print off the main manual right away, instead of trying to read it all from your computer screen.

The Positive Points

* Great, No Hype Nutritional Information

I would have to say that the nutritional info is more than just an eye opener, it is more like a life changer. That may sounds far fetched and hypey, but when you see the truth about what you should and shouldn't eat, the whole mystery about why it's so hard to lose fat and keep it off is all of a sudden becomes a lot more clearer.

* Excellent Bonus Material

The value for the money here is tremendous, particularly considering the bonus material you get. In fact, if you follow the program properly and make an effort to see it through for a long enough time, you'll likely not have to use the bonus guides.

* Great Feeling About Results

I'm really happy with my results so far after just a few weeks. I can feel mental changes more than anything, but indeed the pounds are beginning to drop a little at a time (I've lost about 8lbs so far and I didn't even hit the gym yet!) and that's an amazing feeling.

* Focused Goal Setting and Motivational Advice

I think that I will hit my goals: one being proud to strut the beaches next summer, if I follow Mike's advice on goal setting and motivation. I was not exactly obese when I started this program, only a few pounds overweight and always feeling tired, so my goal of losing those extra couple of lbs is far more in my sight than it has been ever before.

* Customer Testimonials

And of course, no good product is without its' share of real life customer testimonials too. There's an overwhelming amount of testimonials on the Truth About Abs, this certainly does remove a much of the usual scepticism about kinds of programs that I personally tried in the past.

Who's This Program Right For?

This product is basically suited for people with more drive than the people who only go to the gym after Christmas. You need to have a real genuine desire to get fit, learn how to lose belly fat and get six pack.

Even though the exercises are clearly targeted at getting six pack abdominals, you need to realize this guide is essentially all about losing fat and sustaining muscle mass (instead of losing muscle mass like some diets will make you do).

If you don't like to read, to any extent, then I would probably recommend that you to steer clear of the guide. I may be a bit harsh for saying that, but I honestly feel that if you're not ready to learn the truth from reading a fair bit of info, then this program is not right for you.

Having said that, I've seen a fair share of videos on weightloss, abs and none of them have covered the info that Mike does in his book The Truth About Abs. So you've got to make a choice - Do you avoid the guide because you don't like to read or do you just bite the bullet and learn some solid, groundbreaking information on weight loss?

For those people who are willing to apply themselves and also give themselves a chance to change their lives, then this program is truly the most comprehensive and great advice on getting fit, with an all round lean and toned body.

This guide could have easily been called "The Truth About Fat Loss", because that is essentially what you'll discover in the program. Of course, once you begin start losing the fat and weight, while maintaining your blood sugar levels and energy, you'll not only mentally feel great, but you'll start to see those abdominals pushing through rather quickly.

Is this Program Worth My Time & Money?

The Truth About Abs is not for the faint of heart. Do not buy this guide if you're not prepared to change your ways and actually sit down first and learn the program.

With this guide, the fact is, it is a beast and contains a lot of content that you could spend days reading, before even getting started. But the truth is that even from the first chapter where Mike Geary explains the importance of your mindset, you just know that you are not only about to learn some fundamental lessons that will allow you to finally jump start the weightloss, losing the excess fat, and toning up, but you're also going to discover things that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

In other words, this isn't some quick fix guide on "working out". This is a entire U-Turn on what you had previously thought you knew about eating right (not eating less or dieting), along with one of the most comprehensive weight loss exercise programs to working out the correct way, and not the hard way.

My weight is slowly dropping, but more to the point I actually feel more energized. I can't see how you would fail to have 6 pack abs (or at the very least a lean body) while you are using this system.

I will admit that I probably won't apply everything that Mike Geary teaches, because I simply don't like going down to the gym all the time, but honestly that leaves about 90% of the guide which I can still do from the comfort of my house.

You might need to buy a couple of in-expensive pieces of equipment if you decide to do everything from home, such as a medicine ball, a pull up bar and possibly some floor grips.

The main benefit that I found was the good nutrition and eating advice. I was totally surprised at how mislead the general public are, and once you've learned what Mike explains, you could probably lose a lot of fat just from following this advice alone...without the exercise!

These reasons are enough from my truth about abs review to give this program an overall score of 4.8 out of 5.

Overview

The FatLoss 4 Idiots plan consists of two sections: an ebook and an online diet plan generator. The ebook is a guide that aims to remove many of the common myths of weight loss and eating properly to avoid putting on pounds.

The ebook guide covers 10 core rules you will need to know such as: altering your calories, protein and fat intake, carbohydrates, your eating habits, food preparation, rotation of eating, accompanying drinks, the right mental attitude, all the way to the consumption of water and walking habits!

The guide aims to explain to you how to change from your old ineffective habits & eating plans before you actually start your new weight loss program.

The online software is a little bit different, the software creates a specific set of meals plans based on your eating choices…therefore the diet generator is slightly more specific.

From what can be seen of the system, you can either follow the written dieting guide and be lead your self, or you can use the diet generator software to have a specific eating program set out for you, in advance, based on your food choices. However, the written ebook seems to have some general tips and advice that will enhance your actual meal plans as well.

First Impressions

After starting to read the main fat loss guide, we were surprised at how straight forward, to the point and easy to understand the guide was.

When you begin you are first taken through these 10 rules to a successful diet, which don't seem a large obstacle or too overbearing. The guide simply points out some basic do's and don'ts as well as some simple habits to take on, which we believe would be can easily accomplish, such as walking around more, drinking a more water and reducing the amount of salad dressings.

There are all so more specific pieces of advice such as how to stop looking for certain types of foods that really don't help your diet plan (low fat foods etc) and why certain types of fitness exercises that people say you should do actually do not actually burn off any fat at all (and what you need to do in its place).

In addition we also liked the parts about low carbohydrate diets being useless in the a long term diet and the reasons why. This cleared up a lot of things for us, and explained why many people don't stick to these sorts of diets programs (because theses types of diet plans are not designed for the long term).

Some other useful knowledge is found in eating at restaurants, how to eat foods when you are dining out, without sacrificing your diet plans, and they also mention eating fast food the healthier way!

There is also a ton more info ranging from water retention (silent weight adder) right through to some myths about salads, brown sugar and honey, wheat bread and all kinds of other fat piling foods that have led you to believe they are helping you when in actuality, they are making you fatter!

Finally, there is a useful section in the guide on alcohol consumption (how to drink it and still maintain weight loss) and a couple more great chapters on eating habits during the day.

The diet generating software is also very easy to understand and use. It creates a specific weekly diet plan based on the FatLoss 4 Idiots dieting principles, and what types of foods you prefer.

Who is Fatloss 4 Idiots Right for?

Without any doubt, anybody that has tried a low calorie, low carbohydrate, low fat bland dieting routines and found it hard to shift weight should pay a lot of attention to this one. While we are keen on fitness and exercise, there are no real directives and commands for you to go running, swimming or general exercising. The truth is that this plan can be effective even if you just follow the diet meal plan and 10 rules alone.

There's nothing expensive to buy or complicated to learn, which we think makes up some of this diet program's unique appeal.

Therefore, the program is clearly best suited to casual dieters. People that don't have the time, inclination or money to exercise all day and night and still want to eat "normal regular" foods without feeling left out of the nice good stuff (particularly when your dining out!).

Unfortunately, if you're looking for a long term diet plan then this might actually be a bad choice. This diet program seems squarely focused on people who need to lose that initial bulk of fat and body weight so that they can feel motivated and good about themselves enough to start and continue eating healthier foods and live a more active lifestyle.

Also, those individuals who need a quick emergency diet plan to lose weight before certain occasions (like brides to be, guys going for a medical exam etc) then this is the sort of fatloss plan that can be a dieting saviour.

The biggest key to success is to continue the motivation, mindset, and general daily eating habits after the diet program is over, so that you don't eventually put back on the pounds.

The dieting guide does cover a long term approach towards the end of the program, but always keep in mind the main focus of the FatLoss 4 Idiots guide is short term weight loss and fast results.

The Negatives

While the plan does clearly work, specifically at reducing your body fat (and not just reducing your caloric intake), there are a few things we're not too happy with in the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program on the whole:

The whole idea of losing large amounts of weight too quickly may sound good at first, but it needs to be done carefully due to health risks.

Also, when losing weight so quickly, it's can be just as easy to put the weight back on in the future. Therefore, it's recommended that if you do buy this fatloss plan, that you have a stronger motivation to KEEP the weight off in the long term…otherwise you could be kind of cheating yourself and destroy your self esteem and motivation from the constant up and down dieting patterns.

In terms of the diet plan itself, although there is now a new plan that was recently added to bring even more food variety, some of the foods can get a bit repetitious after a while.

With this said, there's no reason why you can't change things up a bit, but obviously you need to remind yourself that the plans have been specifically created to increase metabolism and lower the fat intake at the same time, so mixing the fatloss plans up too much may have a negative effect.

The Positives

The diet generator makes the entire process easy, with full weekly diet plans based around the foods that YOU choose from a wide variety menu.

While some better cooking plans could help the program, the meals are very easy to put together and another positive point is that the meals are all so simple it actually saves you time in the kitchen too!

The meals can get a little repetitive after the 4 weeks, but that should give you enough of a head start to see results in the your mirror and really get a good feeling about yourself…knowing that you CAN lose fat without dragging the whole process out or starving yourself!

Like all diets plans there is a requirement for you to change your habits in some way to accommodate a new method of thinking towards food.

The truth is that healthy eating is much, much easier than you are made to think and once you've learned the 10 rules along with the handful of chapters on your daily habits, you'll soon forget the old ways for sure.

Does FatLoss 4 Idiots Work?

While most plans are so stuck in theory and strict regimes that it's no wonder people leave them quicker than they put the weight on in the first place.

Also many diet programs out there are so dependent on having you work your butt off in the gym (so they can get away with having naughty foods in the diet plans to make it look more appealing) that most folks just don't have the time, money or energy at the end of the day to bother with them.

Besides, not all of us actually want to spend all our extra time sweating in a gym anyway. We just want to know how to eat properly in order to naturally lose fat.

That is essentially how Fat Loss 4 Idiots will help you. While it's not exactly a diet program that you could (or should) follow for the rest of your life, it's a great twist on eating certain foods and changing simple habits in your daily routine to shed the weight quickly and enjoyably.

Don't mistake this program for a 3 to 6 month personal training programme, because it's clearly designed for every day people who need to reach their own personal weight loss targets, usually in a short time.

Providing that you have an ounce of self discipline to actually follow the program for at least 3-4 weeks, there is no reason why you can't be the one saying "Hey look, I've lost 9lbs this month!"

While 9lbs may not be a lot of weight to some, it's a huge difference when you're struggling to shift even couple of pounds. And for most of us busy individuals, all it takes to start a healthier, slimmer and attractive new life is losing that first 9 pounds.

These reasons are enough from my fatloss 4 idiots review to give this program an overall score of 4.2 out of 5.
