Fat Loss With Low Carbs

on Jun 27th 2007

Hi Yvette,

I hope your doing well on the program and I wanted to send out
a couple more cool motivational videos. When you look at these, they
will either motivate you or make you think that this is crazy stuff.
Either way, this is the kind of intensity that gets results and if
you are not there yet….you will be in time.

As always, you can achieve whatever you put your mind too. Just
stick with it. Here are the vids:

And from our commando cardio class:

I hope you enjoy them and I’ll be looking forward to some before and
after pictures soon!

In your next email, I’ll have a radio interview I did with health
talk radio…stay tuned!

You can do this!

Hi Ray,

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your “nonsense-free” book. I have sent books back in the past because what the author was writing was, quite frankly a whole lot of junk.

After reading it throughly, I do have a question. In regards to nutrition, you had mentioned people who benefit from reduced carbohydrates (starch). I believe that I am one of those people. I have the cursed body-type that can either put on fat or muscle quite easily, yet I am considered a pear-shape with curves. Some of my measurements are as follows:

Shoulders: 42″
Chest: 39″
Waist (just above belly-button): 30″
Hips: 40″
Legs: 24″

My height is 5′6 & current weight is 167lbs. (about a month ago it was at 177 lbs. (highest ever!!!)) and I am determined to get to 130 lbs. That is the lowest that my trainer at the gym is advising since I have quite a bit of muscle (her words!!) and should not go below 130.

I am following a Herbal Magic program that allows approximately 1300 - 1500 calories (depending on what you choose to eat), with the following breakdown:

Proteins: 3 servings (can of tuna, 5 oz chicken, etc.)
Starch: 2 servings (2 slices of diet bread,1/2 cup rice, etc.)
Veggies: 4 servings
Fruit: 3 servings
Fat: 2 servings
Free Exchange: 1 serving (this could be a fat-free pudding, 2 cups of popcorn, 1/2 cup of light ice-cream, etc.)

Well, what do you think so far??? Am I on the right track with reduced carbohydrates if I follow this plan??

The other thing I like with Herbal Magic that I should mention is that you can go as many times a week as you like to get weighed (measuring is done 1x/week, so it keeps a person consistent. I only go 1x/2x per week (I find anymore than that makes me crazy!!) They also have a one year maintenance program which I find to be encouraging. I have lost the weight before (between 2 kids), and have found the maintenance to be the most challenging.

Anyhow….I could go on and on. I really would like to hear back from you, so please email me with your opinion.

Hi Yvette,

I read over your email and I think you are absoulutely on the right track! Way to go. Everything looks right on. If anything starts to slow down results wise, just let me know so I can see if there are any tweaks needed. I understand the carbohydrate sensitivity. I am the same way, I can get away with general carbohydrate recomendations for a while and then I need to get back on the complex carbohydrate veggies before the fat starts to creep back on.

Great job on losing 10 pounds. I feel this is only the start for you. Remember to give everything you have during your training sessions and the diet will take care of the rest. You are doing great and I would love to get some pics of your progress when you feel its time.

I expect you to reach your goal if you follow the program in just over three months. See you then!
