Do Body Transformation Programs Work? Part I

By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”

I just got an email a little while ago talking about yet another “total” body transformation system that’s going to take you from “flabby to fabulous in record time!”

Now I have no issue with people wanting to transform their body or any health and fitness professional showing them how, but I do have an issue with gurus saying they have the puzzle all figured out, meanwhile their talking about tactical solutions to manipulate weight loss… so you can “look like a celebrity.”

Do you really think you’re going to “look like a celebrity,” in record time? What do YOU think this is about; do you think it’ll be the result of true lifestyle changes or dietary manipulation and a tanning bed?

It’s amazing the smoke and mirrors we have to dodge these days to get to the fundamentals that keep us looking, feeling and performing well all year round. Meanwhile, these same people are saying “enough already with the hype!”

Let’s get real; most of these body transformation systems work. Yes, I said they do work. Unbelievably, achieving “results” is simple; you can do anything differently and you will experience a different “result”. When you do anything that’s different and do it intensely, like changing your diet or exercise levels, I promise you, you will see different results. This is good to know because whether or not you’re going to get a result is not the question.

The questions are about whether the results are

a) Truly better?

b) Just different?

c) Sustainable?

Body transformation programs are succesful only when based on a strategy that promotes health, better performance, and sustainable success. You can take an approach that yields these outcomes, just as simply and as quickly as you can an approach that is tactical and manipulative, unhealthy and unsustainable. Either way, you will look feel and perform better in the short term, only one approach outlasts the other.

Which approach do you want to take? Do you know how to tell the difference?

Body transformation programs are not successful lifestyles in and of themselves even though millions of people have made them a way of life. In some cases they are “chase your tail” lifestyles lead by guru’s profiting off your lack of experience and desire to get results fast, at virtually any cost. You never solve the real problem and have to keep starting again when you hit the wall.

In other cases, you are so focused on “sticking to the program” you actually reinforce the very problem the program is trying to solve, and continue to chase your tail. The problem is, “results” are being sold like widgets these days, and life has other plans.

The results that many body transformation programs offer are not truly better, they are just different, they are not sustainable and the long-term effects are unknowns.

Don’t get me wrong, many body-transformation programs, even if they aren’t the healthiest or for the long term, are often good for people because they can inspire lifestyle change in the right direction, and this is a good thing. I am very fond of some pro’ whom I disagree with in terms of overall approach or some aspect of it, because I love them as entrepreneurs, as people with heart and with good intentions in the world.

But just be careful.

For example, if you’re transforming your body, with a high “animal” protein low carb diet and lots of synthetic
supplements, there could be many negative consequences. Most plans that promise weight loss and celebrity makeovers
are based on this “model”. That’s right; it’s a proven business model for weight loss.

There are cases though where body transformation programs are bases on sound fundamentals; these are the ones you
want to seek out. These are the true lifestyle fitness challenges like that offered by the Monkey Bar Gym, and
various dietary programs bases on the principles of nutrient density; “Eat to Live” is a prime example.

Where does the Performance Lifestyle Stack up?

Given these insights and the obesity trends http://www.mytrainer.com/obesitytrends/ in the market, the fact that we’re not solving the real problem, making it more about “before and after” pictures than health and higher performance, I decided to attempt to
package up the real thing - the fundamentals of a healthy high performance lifestyle into a “formula” anyone can put into play.

I realized that the #1 reason why people don’t understand lifestyle, is because they don’t understand lifestyle, so we made it easy! Let’s face it, we need things to be simple today and what better model to use than the time-tested and proven model of healthy high performing athletes. It’s amazing, how so many millions of people try to stick to obsessively unnatural
weight loss programs, when they could simply model the lifestyles of the people they admire. You don’t have to be an athlete to do it!

Optimizing your Lifestyle, and unleashing it’s full potential is about mastering the fundamentals of successful living first, so you don’t stay stuck in this pattern of “hitting the wall” and “falling off the wagon”, again and again and have to trade your health for success. It’s about developing a lifestyle that works for you and the achievement of your goals.

Athletes don’t have to transform their bodies over and over again. They have healthy lifestyles that enable them to look, feel and perform better and achieve their goals virtually all year round.

If you are looking for the body transformation program that works ALL the time… healthy high performance living has been time-tested and proven for decades if not hundreds of years! What I’ve done is capture the core essentials of this lifestyle to create the Performance Lifestyle Formulaâ„¢.

Get the Lifestyle Formula into play first and you’ll be able to decipher the difference between a body transformation program that works and one that will keep you stuck. You’ll also get better results with a lifestyle that’s now reinforcing your health and success.
