Don't even think about starting another diet without reading this first!

Diets are a waste of time and abusive to your health.  They create a vicious cycle that damages your self esteem and cripples your metabolism.  Are you aware of this vicious cycle?  Test your familiarity by reading the scenario below:

You are looking through photos with your family and someone points out that you are in none of them.  It hadn't occurred to you that you had been avoiding the camera like the plague.  You search and search until you finally find yourself in a picture.  There you are, blowing out the birthday candles (it's the only time you really couldn't convince your friends to let you be the photographer.) 

You are disgusted by what you see.  You've gained a lot of weight over the years, and even your most carefully calculated fashion choices don't disguise the truth. 

You know that you should lose weight but you feel overwhelmed by the prospect.  Besides, all of your past attempts to get in shape have only resulted in hunger, deprivation, and frustration.  To add insult to injury, these diets only provided temporary weight loss, and sometimes the weight came back double! 

In fact, just thinking about your past diet failures makes you hungry.  You head to the "contraband cupboard" to eat all of the junk food in the house.  After all, if you're going to start another diet tomorrow, you'd better clear the house of unhealthy foods tonight.

If this looks familiar to you, you're not alone.  I've worked with hundreds of women and men who describe similar experiences with the depressing rollercoaster of dieting. 

Good news: You never have to feel like this again!

By learning to work with your metabolism instead of against it, you can rewrite your future.  How about something like this, for example:

The next time someone gets a photo of you over your birthday cake, you are beaming.  You're proud of the number of candles on the cake because you know you look and feel years younger. 

You feel energized and happy, and you have a positive, optimistic attitude about your future.  You're no longer focused on the scale because you know that every week you will lose up to 2 pounds of fat while maintaining or even gaining muscle. 

You know that the way you are eating and exercising is good for your body.  The weight you lose will not be hanging over your head, just waiting to pile back on.  You know this because MyFitnessTrainer.com works *with* your metabolism, not against it.  This is also why you don't feel hungry, and even your cravings seem to have lost their power. 

Your loved ones are confused because you don't seem to be depriving yourself of anything.  "I thought you said you were on a diet," they say.  You confidently assure them that you are not on a diet, but that you are eating healthy and losing fat- for good. 

While your friends waste hours per week driving to and from the gym, you get in a quick workout at home each morning, and then forget about exercise the rest of the day.  That doesn't mean you're sitting around all day, though.  In fact, your increased energy means that you tend toward active leisure: a game of tennis sounds like much more fun than an evening on the couch.

After a few months, you decide to go back and look at your "before" picture.  You're shocked at what you see.  Because of the slow, steady, healthy nature of your weight loss, you were not fully aware of how well it was working.  After all, the main change you'd noticed was how great you felt.  But that "before" picture is shocking!  Were you really in such rough shape?  No wonder your back had been hurting and you didn't want to leave the recliner.  Now your "before" picture is a treasure to you- because it looks so great next to the "after!"

This sounds too good to be true?  It isn't if you have the right tools.  The secrets behind MyFitnessTrainer.com are the reasons why some people seem to lose weight and stay skinny without making any visible effort.  You too can be one of those people that others mistakenly label as "naturally thin."  I am going to let you in on these secrets and I'm going to make it incredibly simple for you to benefit from them. 

It is time to start working *with* your metabolism, not against it.

When you join MyFitnessTrainer.com, you will experience the world's most effective "undiet."  Diets cripple your metabolism, damaging your health and reducing your ability to burn fat.  Typically, the more diets a person has been on, the worse the condition of their metabolism.  In fact, I've met with clients who had so badly damaged their metabolisms that they could starve themselves and still gain weight! 

But don't worry: the damage can be undone.  Your body is resilient and will recover.  Think of it like a friend about whom you've gossiped one time too many.  It's mad, and it wants to hold a grudge, but if you mend your ways and try to treat it right, it'll forgive you every time.   

MyFitnessTrainer.com will retrain your body to burn fat, build muscle, and increase your metabolism.  You will create a "fat-burning machine" that will make quick work of the food you eat.  The burned calories will make you feel energized and empowered.  (Calories are a unit of measurement, used to measure energy.  When you burn calories, you literally create energy from food and/or fat and put off heat as a byproduct.)

You will continue indefinitely on the upward spiral of increased metabolism = increased energy = more exercise = increased metabolism.  This pattern will continue as you feel better and better and you look better and better.

To put it simply: You will be pleasantly surprised to see how well your body works for you when you apply the secrets of the MyFitnessTrainer.com weight loss formula.

Still not sure you've come to the right place?  Let me tell you a little bit about myself:

My name is Annette Hudson, and I am a nationally certified personal fitness trainer.  I have 9 years of experience as a fitness trainer, and about 20 years of experience as a weightlifter.  You can read a little bit more about me here.

I've trained hundreds of clients in my private training studio.  My passion is helping people lose weight once and for all. 

A few years into my fitness training career, I stumbled upon the fitness formula that I now use in the MyFitnessTrainer.com program.  To my astonishment, right there in the study materials for fitness trainer certification was the math one would need to take the guesswork out of fat loss.  It was as clear as a bell. 

My first question was this: "If this same information is available to every person who studies and certifies as a personal trainer, why is it not common knowledge?" 

In fact, whenever I explain my formula to someone (whether that person is a fitness trainer, dietician, or not,) it makes perfect sense to them.  It seems logical.  That is because it is logical.  It's simple math, and it takes the guesswork out of fitness. 

If you're not a fitness trainer, you may at this point be asking yourself "what do I care?"  You may not get as excited about fat loss math as I do.  But here is the reason that you should care:

Diets use a very foolish "guess and check" method of weight loss. 

You never know if it will work for you until you try it.  Some diets work for some people, some diets work for others.  If your body type happens to exactly match the design of the diet, it will work for you.  Of course, the chances of this happening are very slim.

There is no one diet that works for everyone.  There is no such thing as "one size fits all" in the dressing room, and there is really no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to dieting.  The only way that you can get healthy, long-term fat loss is to use a nutrition and exercise plan that is carefully tailored to you.  And even that is not good enough:

The best results come from a nutrition and exercise plan that is constantly readjusted to conform to your body's changing needs.

That is the big difference between MyFitnessTrainer.com and every one of the millions of diets you can find online.  It is the reason why you need MyFitnessTrainer.com no matter what other tools you may have at your disposal. 

"But if MyFitnessTrainer.com is so special, why haven't I heard of it before?"

That's a good point.  I am doing everything I can to get the word out about this incredible fat-loss secret, but it does take time.  The most effective way of getting the good news out is by word-of-mouth.  That's because people are sick of hearing about weight loss claims.  Think about it, aren't you?  It doesn't matter how much I tell you about the value of the information I have to share with you. 

What would really convince you would be to hear from a friend that it worked for.  In fact, maybe you already do know someone who has turned their life around with the MyFitnessTrainer.com program!  Of course, the chances of that are slim because if that really were the case, you wouldn't be wasting any time reading my ramblings.  You'd know that the program works like nothing you've ever tried before, and you'd already be on the sign up page. 

So, most likely you're the first of your friends and family to make this fantastic discovery.  That means that it's my job to help you let go of your fears and doubts and take the plunge.  Unfortunately, I don't have any stories about the success of your friends to share with you, but I can tell you about others who trust MyFitnessTrainer.com.

 In fact, I think you might really enjoy these "before and after" photos.  I am so proud of the people featured in them.  If you read their stories you'll see that no two fat loss journeys are the same. 

That is the reason why you really need MyFitnessTrainer.com: because the only way to guarantee the results you deserve is to create a fitness program designed to fit your unique needs. 

Just as in the dressing room, there is no "one size fits all" here, either.  But there is a "one size fits you."  More importantly, what works for you today may not be what works for you in a week.  That's why the MyFitnessTrainer.com program constantly adapts to match your changing metabolism.  Say goodbye to plateaus.

MyFitnessTrainer.com is not the only fat loss website that has impressive before and after photos.  So here is another reason to trust us: because the leaders in the fitness industry do.  Here are some examples:

* Nautilus trusted MyFitnessTrainer.com so much that they sponsored our national weight loss contest, the Fit America Contest.  They donated over $10,000 worth of Bowflex home gym equipment for prizes.  (The Fit America Contest was a national weight loss contest that was hosted online and that was free to join.)

* Other leaders in the fitness industry also donated major prizes to the Fit America Contest, bringing the grand prize total up to over $50,000!

* MyFitnessTrainer.com has been frequently featured in news and magazines, including:

- Fitness Magazine

- Women's Health

- iParenting Fitness

- The Cleveland Plain Dealer

- The Minneapolis Star Tribune

- Entrepreneur Magazine's Startup Book Series

* I have had the privilege of making a guest appearance on the famous Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy show.

"Okay, so what's in it for me?" 

Good question.  Let's talk about what is really, truly, in it for you.  What can you get out of the MyFitnessTrainer.com.  Why is it worth it to you to put in the time and the effort to follow your program?  Here is a list of possible benefits you could receive for following this program.  Can you see any that inspire you to give it a shot?

• burn fat (on a consistent, predictable basis)
• gain muscle (while most diets cause you to lose muscle, this program will allow you to gain it)
• avoid the gym (why bother with the germs, the sweat, the oogling, and the commute?)
• save money on equipment (work out from the privacy of home, but don't waste hundreds of dollars on gizmos or exercise equipment)
• gain strength (being stronger will make you feel younger and more capable- empowered, even)
• improve confidence
• protect yourself against injury (correct form makes all of the difference with weight lifting, and our detailed photographs and instructions will teach you all you need to know)
• improve your appearance (enough said!)
• avoid getting bored (because the workouts change every single day, you will avoid getting bored with your routine, and you'll avoid letting your muscles become too efficient at any one movement)
• learn the "why" behind exercise and nutrition science (research indicates that results improve when someone knows why they are doing something)
• find the answers to all of your fitness related questions
• read an article per day to help you stay focused on your goal
• more time to spend with your family (no time wasted commuting to the gym or doing inefficient exercises)
• fewer excuses for skipping workouts (when you work out first thing in the morning, and your workouts require little time or equipment, there is no good reason to skip them)
• you're less likely to quit (because this program is so simple, there is no reason to stop)
• save money on a gym membership (though it is possible to use the MyFitnessTrainer.com program with a gym membership, no gym is needed)
• get all of that fitness related clutter out of your house (you can throw away those "as seen on TV" gizmos, and you'll only need a few simple items and your body weight for a workout
• you can work out when you travel, even if there is no gym at your hotel (just log in from your lap top)
• midnight workouts are A okay (24/7 access means it's never too late or too early to get a workout in)
• access your program from home, work, school, or vacation (because it's online, and not a CD rom, you automatically have access to it wherever you are)
• stop plateaus in their tracks (because your program will be completely adapted to your needs and will match your changing metabolism, you can say goodbye to plateaus)
• stop starving! (unlike most diets, you need not feel hungry on the MyFitnessTrainer.com program)
• be accountable (because the things you do directly and immediately affect your calorie goals, assignments, and goals, you will always feel accountable to put in the effort)
• see the consequences of your actions (while diets almost seem like a strange other-worldly entity that you are trying to cling to, the MyFitnessTrainer.com program is much more connected with you- what you do affects the program significantly)
• eat more (you are likely to be allotted more calories on the MyFitnessTrainer.com program than you would be on a typical diet)
• your muscle will not starve (diets often over-restrict calories to the extent that muscle is burned and used up in place of fat: very counter-productive!)
• no tummy pains (although you may feel hungry at times, this will usually occur right before a meal, not after you've finished eating)
• empower your metabolism (while most diets weaken your "fat-burning machine," your MyFitnessTrainer.com program will strengthen it, causing you to increase your calories goals over time)
• look better naked (the fastest way to look better naked is to lose fat while gaining muscle tone- this is exactly what MyFitnessTrainer.com does)
• protect your heart, liver, and kidneys (some diets are dangerous for these vital organs)
• lose weight to protect against heart disease, diabetes, and stroke
• choose your own foods (no need to avoid carbs, fats, or any other nutrient- you can eat the foods that you like, and even eat out)
• stop feeling guilty (restricting certain foods usually results in slip-ups, which usually results in guilt)
• daily tips help you to learn little-by-little, step-by-step (years of misinformation and improper messages clutter your mind and can be hard to give up cold turkey; the daily tips will help you to retrain your mind to let go of the "dieting mentality")
• constant encouragement will keep you feeling upbeat and positive about your progress
• emphasis on fiber foods steers you in the direction of healthier eating, without limiting your choices
• high fiber intake fools your body into thinking it's eating a lot (this is very important, as it is one of the keys to maximizing metabolism)
• higher food quality (fiber-rich foods also tend to be high in vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals)
• regulate your digestive system (a high fiber diet can help regulate your digestive system as well as protect against colon cancer)
• be less constipated
• takes the guesswork out of dieting (remember learning the "guess and check" method in math class?  remember how much effort and time was saved when you were taught the formulas so you could skip the guessing and checking?)
• motivation to track calories (studies show that people who track calories lose more weight than those who don't; MyFitnessTrainer.com motivates you to accurately track your calories, because the formulas won't work right if you skip this important step)
• feel younger (because this program works with your metabolism, it allows you to make maximum use of the energy stored in the food you eat- instead of storing food in the form of fat, you'll use it to fuel a younger-feeling you)
• works with programs you may already use and like (for example, if there is an app that you like for calorie counting on your ipad, you can continue to use that right along with your MyFitnessTrainer.com program)
• delicious recipes (allow you to really savor and enjoy your food- you'll forget you're even on a program!)
• satisfy your sweet tooth (many recipes use stevia and agave to please your sweet tooth without raising your blood sugar levels- thus avoiding the blood sugar roller coaster)
• eat fast food and eat in your favorite restaurants (extensive information about healthy restaurant choices, and nothing is off-limits)
• protect against diabetes, or control diabetes (recipes using stevia and agave help control blood sugar levels and they taste just as good as sugary treats
• have more fun! (MyFitnessTrainer.com exercises are fun and unique)

What our members have said about the MyFitnessTrainer.com program:

This is a great big THANK YOU for your wonderful program.  I've been going a month now and am still going strong or should I say stronger?  Am losing the pounds and inches and my clothes are fitting much better - I'm even getting interested in looking at clothes again.  I think it's nine pounds gone now but even better than that, my strength level has greatly improved.  I think in this month's time, I've seen that the program is very doable and I've recommended it to several people.  Thanks again.
