Fat Loss Coaching Call

This week's 7-day fat loss coaching call covers research studies that explain the success traits of people who lose weight, how to reduce your calorie intake by "hiding" vegetables in meals, and reveals an athlete with a 90.6ml VO2 max (that's insane, like running a 9.5 100m).

I`ve had terrible hearing since I was a kid, so I take this stuff seriously, even though I`m sure doctors will invent some crazy bionic ears before I go deaf.

Today`s tips:

"Sometimes it's the sand in the oyster that creates the pearl. You need some irritation. You need some conflict." - Hugh Hefner. Take what is less than ideal in your life and use it as motivation to create a better world for yourself and reach greater accomplishments.

And today`s Internet Independence Tip:
Become ruthless with your time. Every moment stolen from you is a moment you are stealing from spending with your family. When you're working, work. No time wasted. Become a robotic action taker during work time...so you can have more "dedicated no-work" time for family and friends and fun.
