Hello and welcome to the Mr. Fat Loss blog!

This has been something I’ve wanted to do for awhile and with everybody  coming into the marketplace with a variety of fat loss products that promise the stars and the moon, plus make you look fabulous…I thought a personal guide to assist you would be a good idea!

The main reason is that I want to help you with sorting out some of the fluff and provide some direction for you while  you look for the right fat loss program that’ll help you.

After 32 years of personal experience with exercise, fitness and health…I still look for the “new” the better, the faster or best fat loss program.

Its very hard and determining the “best or right” program can be challenge when all the information is sounding pretty much the same, just a different person or company promoting the next “magic bullet.”

I’d like to provide you with as many resources available so you can look for yourself and measure the claims made by each of the experts on the marketplace. Along with the ones I feel are important to include when putting together and building effective fat loss programs.

I’ll also be very blunt in many cases, not to offend , but to shake some of you up that have been saying you are “trying, thinking about or should” do something or that “it’s too hard to change” a bit more than “doing” what you should be doing to accomplish healthy fat loss as your goal.

In my mind, over all improved mental and physical health should be the goal of everyone on the planet…actually, to be the best human being you can. But, without making this a political forum or blog, instead comments focused on important fitness and health related topics will be welcome and appreciated with fat loss more as a side benefit of healthy lifestyle changes.

I also will have people from around the globe looking at the information here with the translator bar in all dialects available…so welcome visitors! Along with that there are a few sections you may want to explore which contain elements you might not currently have employed in your own fat loss programs.

These individuals in my professional opinion are some of the best in the world and will offer you a lot of information so that you can judge their abilities for yourself before going any further.

In addition, there will be variety of teleseminars, videos, articles and Q & A opportunity with so much new information related to any and all areas regarding fat loss strategies…with fantastic, thought provoking content.

Although it seems that each year new ideas come out about the best or fastest method for fat loss…human beings have not changed physically in a long time and unlike technology, do not adapt or evolve as quick.

Same stuff that got people lean a hundred years ago, still works today…hard, purposeful work.

That being said, you will not find a short cut method here, nor will I endorse it, but just common sense approaches to an age old desire…lean muscle.

Thank you for stopping by,

Mr. Fat Loss

Mind over Matter – Goal Setting Life Change Transformation Product

How does anybody achieve success with their life and their personal health? Where do you begin, at the beginning or do you start at the end with the goal and develop a plan and go backwards from the goal? So you start where you are, look forward to the goal and just start making strides of what ever length and move in that direction? What should you do when an obstacle appears or occurs, how do you start back up if you stop?

These were the questions I wanted to answer as I began my personal quest for excellence and develop my 31 year (so far) fitness professional career. Did I set out with the intention of excellence? No, it’s just evolved as my understanding increased and interests have deepened along with my desire to quench my thirst for this endless goal.

The definition of mind/body connection is simple and complex at the same time but in its simplest form it’s the connection or resulting from the interrelationship between one’s physical health and the state of one’s mind or spirit and overall effect on one’s health.

“But I just want to get lean, drop some fat!” some of you are saying and you will…some of you. Some of you however will be trapped by the demons, monkeys, excuses or whatever term you want to give them that reside in your minds and will act as a gatekeeper forbidding your successes until you learn to manage the little trolls.

Historical perspective on mind and body connection

From the worlds shift and mankind’s evolution from old to the new world, the basic “software” of what it means to be human hasn’t changed, but the external world has definitely changed rapidly in comparison. We still feel, think and react to the same as we did thousands of years ago to external stressors.

From the Greeks and Romans, through the Renaissance period to early Colonial American humans are pretty much the same internally…same bones, same muscles and brain.

The changes externally going from an extreme need for physical survival skills and abilities have all been in recent times outsourced from the more prosperous in society to the lesser and knowledge work has replaced physical work. With this shift, a less physical body has evolved and an overstressed mind fueled with poorly engineered food has created the beginning of the end. Is this a possible shift back to the dark ages? Can we rebound? Some will…many will not.

This is what “Mind over Matter” is all about, developing the mental disciplines to handle life’s challenges while also juggling all the balls in the air without dropping them. Possibly having to have a life changing situation event occur usually does it for some…a death, a divorce, job loss, jail term, war, violent crime…puts them over the edge and nothing brings them back. Sometimes because the tools to do this or get back up after getting knocked down and dust one’s self off were never put in place. Do you want to discover how to get these tools or just “try” to figure it out on your own…how’s that been working out so far?

Managing to eat, sleep, work, train and have a fully functioning life with challenging accomplishments to help each of us achieve a level competency for a strong mind body connection with “Mind over Matter” disciplines can be taught, practiced, refined and learned.
