How long will it
take before I starting seeing results?
..................................................................................
 Eugene Thong:
Well, the answer to
that question is a tough one, because of the sheer amount of variables
at play.
Some unchangeable
(read: genetic) factors that affect the results you’ll get are:
-
Your age
-
Your sex
-
Your “framework”,
i.e., your bone structure and limb length
-
Your metabolic
type (fast-burning, or slow to go?)
Glum, I know, but
there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
In fact, while factors
exist that are beyond your control, there are an overwhelming number of
variables you can actively tinker with that will directly affect your
fat
loss success. The most important ones, in no apparent order,
are:
Factors that affect your fat loss
success:
-
How motivated you
are to create changes in your body
-
How well you will
adhere to nutritional and lifestyle changes
-
Your workout
consistency
-
How you deal with
the stress you have in your life
So
when I start to see results?
Assuming that you
follow our instructions and advice reasonably well (meaning, you
strength train consistently, you eat correctly more than 90% of the
time, you get semi-adequate recovery) then you can expect to see
real, tangible results at about the 4-6 week mark, maybe
later if you aren't particularly good with nutrition or if you miss
workouts, etc.
This figure is based
on my training experience and the pooled anecdotal experiences of my
colleagues, clients, friends, and acquaintances.
The biggest mistake I
see is that someone will be “good” for a day or two (“I ate a salad
today; why aren’t I losing weight?”), hastily conclude that the program
isn’t working, and return to their old habits.
Not only must you find
an approach that works for you, you must give it time to work.
We offer a solid, easy to understand, easy
to follow approach in Black Book of Secrets.
