Frequently Asked Questions
Q: “Is this a Diet?”
A: No way! It’s a Sustainable Lifestyle.
Who wants to be on a diet? Not me that is for sure!
We all know that diets don’t work as people just get on and then off them (and fall back into the same destructive habits). The secret for any lasting results is a healthy lifestyle that you enjoy! You can’t stay on something you are counting the days until it is over.
IF is just a “tool” to use to create your ultimate healthy lifestyle as many find different approaches that they enjoy. The main goal is you being able to be free to eat and live how you want, while still having health (and weight loss).
Q: “What’s the Secret Trick?”
A: There really is None!
This isn’t some super secret diet just discovered….as nothing is new in the weight loss world (unlike what some other slick advertising might tell you)!
What this is, is natural programming that no one is telling you about and rediscovering how your body should work! I started this site to help people “understand” how and why they burn fat and to stay healthy.
To me understanding is the path to freedom (as they say the “truth will set you free”)….as you will never fall for all the gimmicks out there about other “secret” plans, as you already know and have the answers.
Real information and science driven, explained to you in the easiest lifestyle approach there is….I guarantee you that (as I know all the other approaches….and this is the one I personally use too!). You can get back the control that all those diets have taken away from you!
Q: “Is IF just some New Fad?”
A: It’s nothing New and has been around for 1000s of Years!
The body and it’s natural evolutionary system for food survival has been around for thousands….millions of years.
If you made a machine that was designed to use fuel one way, and then you completely throw out the user manual and do something else…..well, do you think that machine will still run correctly?
Same thing for the human body….it was designed to eat and survive one way, and nowadays people have thrown out the manual and do all the wrong things and expect good results. Won’t happen!
Disease and obesity is just a result of the human body not being used in the way it was designed (as it was not designed to be sick and overweight all the time…..storing some fat was just a survival tool to use once in a while).
Get back in tune with your natural design and the rest will take care of itself.
Q: “What Kind of Foods Do I Eat?”
A: That is up to You!
Here is why most people hate and can’t stay on diets, they are too restrictive and mentally stressful.
People have cravings and likes of certain foods even if they may not be 100% ideal, that is just reality. I know that….and that is one of the many reasons I wanted no part in a restrictive eating plan.
I can guide you to make smarter choices (as once you see how food affects you, you start making better choices for health and weight loss), but in the end you have to make sure that you are not feeling “deprived” of anything.
So while real whole foods is always the #1 recommendation, that doesn’t mean you can’t go out and have other things time to time.
You will not feel deprived with a flexible eating approach like IF and that means your results will be lasting.
Even more importantly…a funny thing happens as you start to get healthier with IF and listen to your body. Your cravings will most likely change also to more natural food options. The body can actual help you know how to get back on track….if you are able to listen to it.
Q: “How Complicated is it?”
A: It’s so Simple You could Start Today!
I hate complicated…and if you are looking for super detailed charts and graphs on how to measure food, weigh individual grapes or want to be eating every hour (and lugging around food with you all day)…..I’ll save you some money and tell you that this ebook/lifestyle is not for you!
Sure a complicated approach can work, but is it really how you want to live your life?
However if you are like the rest of us who want to just have a simple approach you know that works, leaves unlimited flexibility, and can be modified in the easiest of ways….then the IF way of life is for you.
Once you read the approach on IF, many have started that (or the next day)! It’s not meant to be complicated (although there is plenty of details about the science behind it for those that want that as well).
I keep things simple and straight to the point so you can understand how it all works. Once you understand, then you have control and will never need to read or buy another diet book again…..because you will already have your lasting lifestyle solution!
Q: “Is this for Anyone?”
A: In short….Yes!
The great thing is that IF is a “tool” to use in a lifestyle and not just a strict set diet plan. You can modify, change up, alter variables and do whatever it takes to get you results.
I am confident that there is an IF lifestyle approach for most every person out there*!
While I always suggest that if you have medical conditions that you work with your doctor before attempting any nutritional or exercise changes, there is no reason that there can not be a simple lasting lifestyle solution for you!
Try it, and if it is not your lasting lifestyle change…get all your money back. No questions asked! 100% refund up to 60 days after you purchase it. Nothing to lose, but you may just gain your freedom and control back!
*IF is meant for healthy adult individuals. Always check with your doctor first before changing dietary or exercise habits.
Q: “Can I get Ripped Abs?”
A: Ummm….Sure….why not?
I see all the time diets, pills and crazy looking machines advertising how to get “ripped abs” (too bad none of the models for that product ever used the program/pill/machine….nice marketing scam huh?).
Let me make it simple for you, everyone has a six pack…but you are not going to see it under a layer of fat! I can’t tell you how many overweight people at the gym I see doing endless ab-work when it won’t make a difference (as you can’t spot reduce either!).
If you are spending hours doing ab workouts then you may want to keep this little motto in your head…..“Abs are made in the kitchen”! (Since the majority, upwards of 80%, of fat loss comes from how and what you eat….not solely how often you workout!)
You want six pack ripped abs? Then burn the fat and be able to see them first! IF can help you get there and break through those “stubborn fat” plateaus.
Q: “But if I don’t Eat all Day won’t I just Starve Myself and lose Muscle?”
A: Your Body Thinks Longterm….not Meal to Meal!
While meal to meal nutrients and delivery is usually the focus for most diets, they all neglect the most essential survival view of the body…..how it reacts over longer periods of time. If the body broke down that quickly by missing just one meal….well the human race would of died off a long time ago!
If you want to starve yourself, then you don’t eat alot of food for a periods of days…weeks! That is true starvation, and that is NOT what IF is about.
When you eat correctly and enough healthy foods, your metabolism will NOT slow down and you will NOT go into a starvation mode (like most “crash diets” that advertise quick weight loss…..only to not tell you all the people who do it gain all the weight back!).
Muscle is also not lost if you don’t have some protein every 2-3 hours. Althought the bodybuilding and supplement industry make a killing selling people protein powders based on that myth/paranoia. I mean, who do you think keeps suckering you into believing that to continue making a good profit?
IF is a lasting solution….to lose fat, keep/gain lean muscle (don’t worry women…you won’t “bulk up”) and keep your metabolism strong.
Q: “How Fast Can I Lose Weight?”
A: The Real Question Should be “How Long Can You Keep it Off?”!
Remember all those “crash diets” we talked about earlier? Well anyone can do that, but what happens….the body slows down its metabolism, the weight loss plateaus, the person gives up on the “diet”, the weight packs back on and now the metabolism is in worse shape than before the diet ever started!
Realistically people should be looking at 1-2lbs of weight (fat) loss to happen per week. Can some lose quicker than others? Sure…especially if they are more overweight and have more to lose.
Also it is interesting to note that a large chunk of initial weight loss with any diet (esp lower carb) will be mostly water in the first 7-10days. But after that initial drop it is reasonable to lose 1-2+ lbs a week.
Just imagine….a simple lifestyle…no effort….losing 2lbs a week….over a month….2 months….etc. That is real and lasting weight loss!
Don’t go for the quick fix….because the people I see saying “I need to drop 20-30lbs in a month” are usually doing the same thing year after year after year….when they could of just had a simple lifestyle approach and got results for life.
All that is left if for you to take back control of your life and results (and stop giving that control to all those diet books out there). Try IF today…and you may never look back again, like so many of us have done! Just click here to get started today!
