so we’re going to talk about why people

can’t lose weight there’s three videos

this is the first in its series and this

first video we’re going to talk about

the two main problems that I find people

have number one is that they’re not

eating the right things for their body

type or maybe they’re eating healthily

and nothing’s working so they are eating

the right thing for their body type or

they’re eating healthily and it’s still

not working so I’m not going to put too

much attention on that part because

that’s the most obvious thing that

people look at I want to talk about the

second problem which is basically your

body’s ability to burn fat you can you

can say your metabolism you can say the

health of your metabolism the health of

your body now you go to your doctor and

he says oh you’re healthy mrs. Jones you

just need to lose weight no you need to

get healthy to be able to lose weight

because if you were healthy you wouldn’t

have the weight in the first place

because that’s the strength of your

metabolism so we want to put more

attention on getting your body to

metabolize faster burn fat easier and

not make it so hard so instead of

putting all this energy on the next diet

that comes along or the next pill let’s

start focusing on how do we improve our

body’s ability to use food to tap into

the fat Reserve and burn it off so the

point about getting healthy is really

has it has to do with this one thing

called recovery now what is recovery

recovery is your ability to bounce back

from exercise stress sleep so when you

exercise do you see change right away

does it take a long time just to take a

lot of effort when you exercise you get

sore and it lasts for a week after one

workout that would kind of define what

kind of recovery that you have or let’s

say you experience stress how long does

it take to bounce back from stress do

you hang on to things for like a week

can you drop them fast how was your

tolerance to stress these are all things

that tell us what’s going on with

recovery if you push your body up the

stairs real fast you get out of win

easily

good test for recovery you can even

check your blood pressure it’s in my

book you take your blood pressure lying

down and then standing up if your blood

pressure drops down instead of going up

to adapt to that stress then we know the

recovery is low there’s even other tests

that you can do and recovery so the

point is that we want to use the these

different things to figure out what kind

of recovery you have why because then we

can adjust your workouts to your ability

to recover and prevent overtraining

because if you’re going to do p90x or

maybe something will they have different

gradients than p90x let’s say a Cross

Fit were you doing the massive hardcore

workouts it might not be you not might

not be ready for that okay so we want to

adapt to workout to your recovery so

recovery is really the ability to turn

your body off so when you go to sleep do

you go right to sleep and you stay

asleep for seven eight hours and wake up

feeling refreshed if you don’t then we

know the recovery is a problem so

instead of getting up at 4:30 in the

morning to go work out to try to

stimulate your body it’d be much smarter

to be able to get a good night’s sleep

to be able to let the fat burn because

that’s when you burn fat at night how do

we improve recovery well let’s we call

that negative gain it’s something that

we don’t we have to take things away

from your body and including stress so I

found it’s the accumulation of stress

that destroys your recovery overtraining

mental stress emotional stress that all

builds up over time and then now you

have no recovery so we want to do things

to pull stress out and that is why I

recommend the acupressure either to do

it yourself version or come on office or

I have tons of videos to show you how to

do this on the blogs on YouTube but you

want to do different techniques to pull

stress out of your body to be able to

turn your body off to the point where

you go to sleep sleep deeply and you can

start recharging that would be way way

way way way more important than almost

anything else you can do ok so what do

we get out of this video put more

attention on recovery

I have to overtrain get more sleep

pull stress out with various techniques

instead of wasting your time on trying

to put so much energy in to try the next

new diet that comes along of course you

need to get the right eating plan but a

lot of people that I see that come in

are not eating terrible and they’re

still not losing weight and the reason

is because their recovery and their

health is not higher they’re not high

enough to tap into the fat okay so

that’s that’s the most important thing
