 I got your book black book of secrets last week and I'm loving it.  What would you say is the biggest benefit from using the techniques in the book?

.....................................................................................

 

Michael Collins: Hmmm. Interesting question.

 

Obviously the book is aimed at fat loss, but I consider that a "feature"

 

I think the real benefit comes when you apply the techniques and lose those first few pounds.

 

You fit better in your clothes, you have more energy and you'll get that "glow". Some people call it the attraction factor.

 

When you lose weight, everything changes.  Your self- confidence knows no bounds and people are magnetically attracted to you. They want to be around you and they want advice on how they can lose weight like you did.

 

That's the biggest benefit that I've seen people talking about.
