Thanks for the information, i was wondering about them. My email is getting full of junk emails about flushing away pounds and I often see tv informercials about these products that claim to cleanse you detox you. As you mention in your book, a high fiber and healthy lifestyle is all you need and your body will take care of itself. Great book and great website. Reply to this

I used to drink a lot of soda until I read about how bad it is for you from your Fat Into The Fire book. Soda should never have been made and should not be for sale to humans for consumption. As you mentioned in your book, "What are we, hummingbirds?" Your details in your book of the effects of fructose corn syrup on the human body is a wake up call for everyone. A wake up call that the soda companies want to keep hidden so they can continue to make disgustingly large amounts of money without any concern for people. Forget about suing tobacco companies, we should file lawsuits against the soda companies. I've been following your program for a few months now and am losing fat and getting in shape. I feel so much better now. Your program is so easy to start and keep up with. I am motivated to take better care of myself and invest in myself. I practice all three of the links from your book.

Fat Into The Fire has definitely been the best diet for me. I met the author, David P. Morrow, at a book signing in Charlotte in February of this year. I picked up the Fat Into The Fire book, Journal, and workout I on dvd. Since then, I have lost 40 pounds. I have also gotten myself in great shape. I'm now healthier, more active and full of more energy. The book is extremely inspirational, easy to read, and full of tremendous information and support.

I learned that just by changing a few things in my diet, squeezing a few minutes of exercise in daily, and having a right frame of mind I should be on the right track.

Hello, thanks for your great question. I have heard many debates over synthetic vitamins. More and more research suggests that taking too much of them could potentially cause negative effects to your body. Specifically, damage to tissues. More and more professionals are recommending whole food supplements instead of synthetic if you are not getting enough in your diet.
I am assuming of course that the vitamins added to these waters and drinks are synthetic. I also have researched that many of these drinks are not 0 calories, but instead do have sugar and carbs.
This all being the case, I would stick with good old fashioned H20! Water, it does a body great!

Thank you for your great comments! Often, at the bookstores and malls that I have been visiting I often hear many stories and comments as to why someone has not reached their fitness, diet, or wellness goals. I find the real reason is because they have not taken the first step. What's the first step, you ask? Read on.
I often also hear comments from people about:
how they would 'like' to lose weight and get in shape, or they 'should', or they just 'can't' seem to do it, or they 'can't' give up the soda, snacks, etc.., or they 'don't' exercise, or they are not active (I've heard too many excuses as to why on this to list here!),
Anyway, do you see the pattern here? The first step was never taken - which is part of The Missing Links in the Fat Into The Fire book. They have never really made a solid decision. They have always been 'wishy-washy'; wanting to get healthier, stating preferences about liking to be healthier and have more energy; but never actually making a solid decision to do so.
*Make a solid decision, *Set and write down some specific desires and goals - hold these decisions and goals firmly in your mind and thoughts! *Learn and practice the Missing Links, The Fuel Link, and The Physical Link from the Fat Into The Fire book- The Fat Into The Fire Book and Journal are the treasure map to your goals. You've got to make the decision first though!

Doing a few minutes of warm up is a very good idea, and for a couple of good reasons.
Prepare your body for the metabolism boost that is about to come. A warm-up increases your oxygen levels and gets the joints and muscles prepared for exercise.
Best way to warm up? A 3 - 10 minutes of any type of low impact, slow or medium paced cardio works great.
Walk around or march in place for a few minutes, make sure to get those shoulders and arms moving some.
Another great reason to warm up is not just to get your muscles and joints ready, but to get your mind ready. Warming up helps you mentally shift to get ready and to help you get enthusiastic about your workout.
Don't forget the opposite of warming up, that is cooling down. It is just the warm-up in reverse.
Doing a few minutes of cooling down helps your body return to a normal state gradually. This is good for blood flow and breathing levels.
Make sure to cool down with slower paced movements, stretching. Some abdominal work usually will fit in just fine also.

Thanks for sharing that great story, Janet. You can definitely get back into having and working towards a goal to participate in an event. Whether it's a running road race, a walk for charity, a biking event, a mini or full triathalon, etc., all you have to do is: Set the goal, Plan the way you will get to the goal, Put the plan into action, Achieve the goal!
Any age can do it, Any size can do it. So just do it! Do it, and you will reap the rewards of what I discussed above. The rewards of satisfaction, achievement, and fulfillment. Feeling great and looking great too. So what are you waiting for? Start setting your goal now and making a plan now! Feel free to email me or post any questions.

Those are some great ideas! I used to run in races in the past (a long time ago) and I remember that I always felt better about myself overall when I trained for them and then took part in them. Like you mentioned about picking an event and making it a goal - 'training for it'- I would pick an event, start training for it, then participate in it. During the training part, I was more focused at getting my exercise done since I knew I had a goal in mind. Regardless of how I performed in the event, I felt a real sense of accomplishment that I did it. I felt good about myself for seeing the goal through. I also felt more accomplished and more full of worth for helping a good cause (these events were held to raise money for a worthy organization or charity). Plus, I met new people at the event which is always refreshing to have a new positive experience and meet positive people. Not to mention, not only did I feel better emotionally/mentally, but I was also in better shape and healthier. I was full of energy.
Events like these and making it a goal like you mentioned is a win-win situation. I have been looking for a way to get back into shape again. You have inspired me very much with your Fat Into The Fire book and now this great idea of getting back into participating and training for great events. I have a new outlook of enthusiasm now and am anxious to get back in the saddle. I am going to do just what you recommended - pick an event and start training for it! It will get me in better shape - physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thanks! -Janet Team FIF! Reply to this

In the Physical Link section of my Fat Into The Fire book, I have some 'make fitness fun' ideas for you. This section includes information on unregimented exercising - specific things you can do to get your body in better shape, health, burn calories, and you don't even know it's exercising. Of course, there is also a section on regimented exercising. In the Fat Into The Fire book, I've put together a high intensity section, as well as a less intense section with 3 specific plans for you to pick from. So, you have many options and suggestions to chose from as well as mix and match. One thing you may like in this regimented exercise section, is the shortness of the workouts. Many of us don't want to spend hours in the gym or exercising. Many of us don't have the time. That is why I put together short workouts that can easily fit into anyone's schedule and be done at home. Through my years of training and testing, I put together workouts and combinations that provide the most benefit in the shortest time. These 3 specific plans are at different levels. If you are a beginner, start with Workout I. Then once you get more comfortable, you can move on to Workout II. Using these workouts and unregimented exercises that are in the book, along with the Fuel Link, and the Missing Links from the book, will get you to your goal! And that is very exciting!!

Great Information! Funny how most people don't realize this information. They should teach it in schools. Reply to this
When we sit too long or let ourselves become somewhat 'dormant', our bodies like to shut down. Our metabolism actually takes measures to decrease our fat burning!
How can we stop this, and keep ourselves in a 'fat burning mode'?
Easy - instead of just grabbing a cup of coffee or tea for that caffeine boost, why not energize yourself with a few quick moments of movements? You will keep your metabolism alive and keep yourself in a fat burning mode.
Fat Into The Fire show you how to achieve maximum health with maximum metabolism. This also means for many shifting your body into a 24 hour a day fat burning mode. Fat Into The Fire!
I encourage all who have bought the book and anyone simply interested in a healthy lifestyle to come on out to one of the Fat Into The Fire events to say hello! Reply to this

I've started using the Fat Into The Fire Journal and I have really noticed a difference in not just my achievment success, but in my mental focus as well. I really do feel and act as if I am in training for something now. Compared to the past when I was trying to get into better shape without using a journal, I did not feel that way. I had difficulty staying motivated and interested. But now, this journal is keeping me on my toes and keeping me more focused and paying more attention to myself and my goals. I have much more interest and attention going towards myself and my goals. I enjoy filling out the journal every day and reviewing my accomplishments. It is obviously also helping me to see what I have accomplished, which makes me get more encouraged and then I focus more and pay more attention to my goals and reaching success. It is a great way to reach success. It is awesome. Thanks! Reply to this

Funny story, but I was the same way. I thought if I starved myself I would lose weight. I lost a little, but couldn't get rid of a lot of stubborn pounds. By then I got tired (no energy) of starving myself so started eating a lot, and back to my normal over eating. I got the Fat Into The Fire Book, journal, dvd, and cd about two months ago. I have lost about 20 pounds and am feeling great. I have been using the 7 day diet in the book and keeping up with my journal. I have been doing the workouts from the workout I dvd (which is also in the book). I have also been getting my mental focus on track as a result of listening and practicing the Missing Links CD. The program is fantastic and really works great. I want to thank you for putting it together. I now know the importance of what to eat, when to eat it. I also know how to make the most of my time when exercising. I don't have a lot of time to do it, but am achieving it with your short yet effective workouts. They are also easy to do. And even though I've been on the 7 day diet for a few months, I am feeling more energized than when I was overeating. Of course, I'm also feeling better about myself and as you wrote, 'I am on a roll'. I think if anyone wants to achieve thier goals this time, they can do it with your program. Reply to this

That's very interesting, you don't think about the importance of protein normally. I guess in the past you would hear a lot about not to eat too much protein. But from reviewing your FIF cookbook that has the information about whole grains, it looks like some of the whole grains contain protein. And a lot of us aren't eating these kinds of whole grains. So even more the importance of getting protein in your diet. Reply to this

Thanks for your question Mandy, The Fat Into The Fire book is a complete book and a realistic approach. More than just a diet, it is a lifestyle change. It includes more than just diet and exercise. It also includes what I refer to in the book as the Missing Links. This is information that most people are not aware about when it comes to diet and exercise. The Missing Links also refers to being in the proper state of mind to achieve your goals. To put it plainly - train your mind, and your body will follow. The Missing Links explains this, plus has specific exercises to 'train your brain'. Of course, I also have a journal to help track your goals and progress. I added workouts on DVD, just as they are in the Fat Into The Fire book, for those who would like to perform the workout along with us. I've added a special audio CD to assist in practicing the Missing Links and 'training your brain'. The Fat Into The Fire book has some recipes, but I wanted to add more, so created the FIF Cookbook for All Seasons. All that being available, the Fat Into The Fire Book is complete in itself and a great way to start. The other books, dvd's, and cd are just 'icing' for those who would like extra assistance. They are the added 'boost' to get you over that wall and to success. A sure way to increase your success rate. Please read the press release about the Fat Into The Fire book and more information about myself on the website, www.FatIntoTheFire.com. You can visit www.Amazon.com to view excerpts inside the book as well. Thank you. -David Reply to this

My Fat Into The Fire 7-day diet plan is structured in a way that will help you get the most amount of fat burning from the food you eat.
This includes THERMOGENESIS.
There are a lot of food stuffs that induce a positive thermogenic effect.
One of the most powerful items in terms of thermogenesis is quality protein. My FIF diet centers around the proper way to do that.
However, as far as non-protein items that will cause thermogenesis......anything spicy, like hot peppers, black pepper, and any spicy seasoning.
Green tea is another thermogenic favorite.
Also, an old trick is to drink 2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar right before a meal. 2 - 3 times per day, in addition to drinking water before each meal. This will help you to not eat as much, thus getting you back to eating the correct portion sizes.
Just remember, in the grand scheme of your entire fitness program, the combination of the Three Links from the Fat Into The Fire book is what is most important: Proper nutrition, regular exercise, and a proper state of mind. I reveal the best ways to do all three in my Fat Into The Fire book.
These Three Links are the most important elements in total success.

Hi, I took your advice in your book and switched from soda to selzter water. Sometimes I add a lemon to it. other times I put a little bit of juice to it. I don't crave the soda anymore I guess because I have replaced it with the seltzer water and also because I am eating a lot healthier on your 7 day diet program. I am also drinking a lot more water per your program and do feel a lot better as far as energy levels go. Do you think some people may be dehydrated if they are drinking a lot of soda and not much water? Do you think that may be making them feel less energy and crave the soda? Reply to this

It is best to keep this in mind - maximum metabolism means that you will ultimately burn fat and excess energy at a maximum level.
Fat Into The Fire trains and coaches you on how to reach a maximum metabolism and your best health.
Do not focus on 'spot reducing' the abs or waist, but rather focus on the whole picture.
Cardio burns fat. Strength training burns fat. The Fat Into The Fire 'Fuel Link', 'Physical Link', and the 'Missing Links' all burn fat.
Combine the 3 Links, and the ultimate end result is that you will achieve the shape and fitness condition you want!
Focus on the Fat Into The Fire program as a whole, and the specific results will come.
I have a few DVD's from the Fat Into The Fire Program- all will work great at doing the physical part of burning the fat. Don't forget the other two links though from the book. Keep me posted, David Reply to this

The Fat Into The Fire book includes 3 weight training workouts, that is beginner, intermediate, and a higher intermediate.
These are the very same workouts that I do myself to keep tone and maintain; or to get better muscle definition.
Follow my FIF diet plan, which has a focus on protein, do the FIF workouts, and it is a guarantee you will achieve more muscle tone, strength, and definition.
Please note: One of my next books, due out in 2008, is a Champion's Guide to Bodybuilding. If you really want to add some muscle, above and beyond the range of a 'fitness physique', stay tuned! In the mean time, you can build a great and important base with the workouts in the FIF book. Thanks for writing.

Good evening Mary Ann, I certainly do address how to increase energy in my book. In fact, The Fat Into The Fire book is all about how to maximize your energy and your health. You see, it is much more than a diet or fitness book. I spent many years searching for the perfect combination of foods, exercise, and mental health to achieve the most energy and best overall health. I share this perfect combination in the Fat Into The Fire book. I break the book up into what I call three Links - The Fuel Link (proper and power nutrition); The Physical Link (fitness); and the Missing Links (positive psychology). Combine all three of these for high energy, and a healthy, fit body and mind. Use only one of the links, or part of a link, and it is incomplete. They have to all be used together. Then you will achieve maximum energy, maximum metabolism, and a maximum you. Once you begin practicing them, you will get on a high - on a roll. Just as I have, and many others, you can be full of abundant energy, excellent health, a fit body, and a happy mind. Thanks for writing, Your online Personal Trainer, David P. Morrow Reply to this

Hello, Thank you for posting your question. We have some good exercises for the inner thigh in Workout II on DVD. They include the side leg lifts while lying down on your side. Another great one is 'Plee-a's Squats'. How to do it? Take a fairly wide stance, feet wider than shoulders. Point your toes out. Then, hold a can of soup or a small dumbbell weight with both hands, arms straight, in between your legs.
Then, just squat down, feel the stretch in your inner thigh, and concentrate on squeezing the inner thigh muscles as you push yourself back up to a standing position.
Do the squat slow and deliberate, feel the stretch then squeeze on the push back up.
Do 2 or 3 times for 12 - 15 repetitions. -David P. Morrow Reply to this

Keep in mind, there are a few different options to chose from in the Fat Into The Fire book. There is a 'fast track program' if you are looking for a faster route. There is also a slower, more realistic route. This is great for many who don't want to make any drastic changes immediately. Lastly, there is the healthy route for all people. A way of life.

I used to drink a lot of soda until I read about how bad it is for you from your Fat Into The Fire book. Soda should never have been made and should not be for sale to humans for consumption. As you mentioned in your book, "What are we, hummingbirds?" Your details in your book of the effects of fructose corn syrup on the human body is a wake up call for everyone. A wake up call that the soda companies want to keep hidden so they can continue to make disgustingly large amounts of money without any concern for people. Forget about suing tobacco companies, we should file lawsuits against the soda companies.
I've been following your program for a few months now and am losing fat and getting in shape. I feel so much better now. Your program is so easy to start and keep up with. I am motivated to take better care of myself and invest in myself. I practice all three of the links from your book. Thank you.

I know, people don't realize that every minute of every day, you are either storing fat or burning fat. That's a great statement. I think if people realized that, maybe they would take the time to think about things like what they are feeding themselves and make better decisions. I love your Fat Into The Fire book, I am telling everyone I know about it and to get it.

Hi David,
I got a copy of your Fat Into The Fire Book and Journal and workout I on DVD at a book signing you had in Charlotte in mid February. The book and journal and DVD are phenomenal! I started using your program immediately and began filling out the journal. I started with your accelerated program along with the 7 day diet and Workout I. It is almost April and I'm very excited to report I've lost twenty pounds and many inches around my waist. I am feeling awesome and full of energy. I recommend your book to everyone! Thanks David! I'll send you some pictures and keep you posted.

Thanks for the recipes. It was a treat to meet you at a recent book signing. I got your Fat Into The Fire book and have read it. It is great information and very exciting. I'm very excited about my new goals and outlook. I just picked up a copy of your journal and cookbook on Amazon.com.

Great recipes! I picked up a copy of your cookbook and just love it! All of the recipes are so easy to make. And easy to use since it's split up into Seasons. I also like how you've made it so easy in one cookbook to learn how to eat healthy without sacrficing taste.

Hello, thanks for your great question. I have heard many debates over synthetic vitamins. More and more research suggests that taking too much of them could potentially cause negative effects to your body. Specifically, damage to tissues. More and more professionals are recommending whole food supplements instead of synthetic if you are not getting enough in your diet.
I am assuming of course that the vitamins added to these waters and drinks are synthetic. I also have researched that many of these drinks are not 0 calories, but instead do have sugar and carbs.
This all being the case, I would stick with good old fashioned H20! Water, it does a body great!
Thanks,

What do you think about those new vitamin waters and the protein waters? Do you think they would be something ok to have on your diet program? Thanks.

Thanks for all of your support. This is a terrific online source you're providing for free to all. I started your Fat Into The Fire program in November and went down two sizes and am now fitting back in my old size 10 jeans. I've tried a lot of diets in the past and never had these results. I'm feeling and looking great and am staying on track! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your great comments! Often, at the bookstores and malls that I have been visiting I often hear many stories and comments as to why someone has not reached their fitness, diet, or wellness goals. I find the real reason is because they have not taken the first step. What's the first step, you ask? Read on.
I often also hear comments from people about:
how they would 'like' to lose weight and get in shape, or
they 'should', or
they just 'can't' seem to do it, or
they 'can't' give up the soda, snacks, etc.., or
they 'don't' exercise, or they are not active (I've heard too many excuses as to why on this to list here!),
Anyway, do you see the pattern here?
The first step was never taken - which is part of The Missing Links in the Fat Into The Fire book.
They have never really made a solid decision. They have always been 'wishy-washy'; wanting to get healthier, stating preferences about liking to be healthier and have more energy; but never actually making a solid decision to do so.
*Make a solid decision,
*Set and write down some specific desires and goals - hold these decisions and goals firmly in your mind and thoughts!
*Learn and practice the Missing Links, The Fuel Link, and The Physical Link from the Fat Into The Fire book- The Fat Into The Fire Book and Journal are the treasure map to your goals. You've got to make the decision first though!
So, what are you waiting for?

yea, you've got to take action and you've got to keep your goal and end result in your mind. Practice mind control with your thoughts and your goals, just as it is in the Fat Into The Fire book. I like the sections in the journal for writing and practicing the missing links. I use the journal every day to write down my thoughts and then I practice the missing links. 'Keep your eye on the prize'.
Reply to this
Amen to that! Your Missing links section, excuses section and motivation section in your FIF book says it all. They have really put the lightbulb on for me. It all starts in your mind. You control your thoughts and actions. You are in the situation you are now because you put yourself there from your thoughts and actions (or probably lack of action). I love all of the motivating quotes in the book. They really back up what you wrote about. After reading your book I set some goals and am following them through your journal. I'm feeling better and looking better. You've inpsired me so much. Thank you.
Reply to this
Yes, that's a great idea and offer. I had gotten one of your Team FIF shirts and jackets in the past. I was very impressed with the quality of the products - very hight quality. I look forward to participating in a walk and proudly wearing the Team FIF logo.

Wow, that's really a great thing for you to do. I will send you an email once I get a few people together to join me in starting a Team FIF group to participate in an upcoming walk in my area. Thank you so much. Your book is very encouraging and is helping me to get healthier and in shape. Thank you for all you are doing.

Your journal is so cool. I've been looking for a good journal for a long time now and yours is the first that I've been happy with. Two pages for each day to list your workouts, foods, and other things is what makes it so great. I made the protein bar recipe and they turned out really good. My roomates ate them all, so I'll have to make more. Much cheaper to make them at home like that than buy them.

Doing a few minutes of warm up is a very good idea, and for a couple of good reasons.
Prepare your body for the metabolism boost that is about to come. A warm-up increases your oxygen levels and gets the joints and muscles prepared for exercise.
Best way to warm up? A 3 - 10 minutes of any type of low impact, slow or medium paced cardio works great.
Walk around or march in place for a few minutes, make sure to get those shoulders and arms moving some.
Another great reason to warm up is not just to get your muscles and joints ready, but to get your mind ready. Warming up helps you mentally shift to get ready and to help you get enthusiastic about your workout.
Don't forget the opposite of warming up, that is cooling down. It is just the warm-up in reverse.
Doing a few minutes of cooling down helps your body return to a normal state gradually. This is good for blood flow and breathing levels.
Make sure to cool down with slower paced movements, stretching. Some abdominal work usually will fit in just fine also.

Hi David, I'm really enjoying your book. I started to do the workout with weights (workout I) and was wanting to know whether or not I need to do some type of warm up or stretching before I start the weights workout. Thank you.

I know of another great walking event nationwide that is for a great cause. It is the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. The walk is 2-3 miles and is done in the Fall nationwide. So, this could be one of many great goals to train for. The website is:

Thanks for sharing that great story, Janet. You can definitely get back into having and working towards a goal to participate in an event. Whether it's a running road race, a walk for charity, a biking event, a mini or full triathalon, etc., all you have to do is:
Set the goal,
Plan the way you will get to the goal,
Put the plan into action,
Achieve the goal!
Any age can do it, Any size can do it. So just do it! Do it, and you will reap the rewards of what I discussed above. The rewards of satisfaction, achievement, and fulfillment. Feeling great and looking great too. So what are you waiting for? Start setting your goal now and making a plan now!
Feel free to email me or post any questions. I would be more than happy to provide any guidance to anyone if this is your first time setting and planning this type of goal.

Those are some great ideas! I used to run in races in the past (a long time ago) and I remember that I always felt better about myself overall when I trained for them and then took part in them. Like you mentioned about picking an event and making it a goal - 'training for it'- I would pick an event, start training for it, then participate in it. During the training part, I was more focused at getting my exercise done since I knew I had a goal in mind. Regardless of how I performed in the event, I felt a real sense of accomplishment that I did it. I felt good about myself for seeing the goal through. I also felt more accomplished and more full of worth for helping a good cause (these events were held to raise money for a worthy organization or charity). Plus, I met new people at the event which is always refreshing to have a new positive experience and meet positive people. Not to mention, not only did I feel better emotionally/mentally, but I was also in better shape and healthier. I was full of energy.
Events like these and making it a goal like you mentioned is a win-win situation. I have been looking for a way to get back into shape again. You have inspired me very much with your Fat Into The Fire book and now this great idea of getting back into participating and training for great events. I have a new outlook of enthusiasm now and am anxious to get back in the saddle. I am going to do just what you recommended - pick an event and start training for it! It will get me in better shape - physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thanks!

That was a very interesting and helpful discussion you gave at the book signing I attended. I learned a lot of new things. A big thing I learned from your book is the power of the mind. I've never thought about it like that before, but if you don't have your mind in the right place, you can't succeed at any goal. I'm going to start practicing your mind exercises immediately that are in your Fat Into The Fire Book. I also got a copy of the CD to help. I like the idea that I can practice these techniques while driving to work. Thanks for taking the time to present your findings that you've researched as well as put them together in a book for us. It is obvious you are sincere about helping others.

In the Physical Link section of my Fat Into The Fire book, I have some 'make fitness fun' ideas for you. This section includes information on unregimented exercising - specific things you can do to get your body in better shape, health, burn calories, and you don't even know it's exercising. Of course, there is also a section on regimented exercising. In the Fat Into The Fire book, I've put together a high intensity section, as well as a less intense section with 3 specific plans for you to pick from. So, you have many options and suggestions to chose from as well as mix and match. One thing you may like in this regimented exercise section, is the shortness of the workouts. Many of us don't want to spend hours in the gym or exercising. Many of us don't have the time. That is why I put together short workouts that can easily fit into anyone's schedule and be done at home. Through my years of training and testing, I put together workouts and combinations that provide the most benefit in the shortest time. These 3 specific plans are at different levels. If you are a beginner, start with Workout I. Then once you get more comfortable, you can move on to Workout II. Using these workouts and unregimented exercises that are in the book, along with the Fuel Link, and the Missing Links from the book, will get you to your goal! And that is very exciting!! Keep us posted on your success. Let me know if you need any additional assistance or have any additional questions along your road to success.

Jody,
Believe it or not, 75 pounds is nothing, a drop in the bucket.
Obesity and people who are over 100 pounds overweight, unfortunately, is very common nowadays.
75 pounds? You can zip that off in no time at all and feel and look fantastic.
Make the simple changes first.
Follow some of the simple substitutions that are in the Fat Into The Fire book.
The 7 day diet in the book could help you to lose upt to 50 pounds in one year.
Next, focus on my 'unregimented exercise' that is in the book. Over 1 year, that could make another 20 pound difference.
Adding an exercise program that is in the book could also result in another 20 pounds of fat loss, at least.
Add that all up, you can easily lose the pounds in approximately one year!
There are specific calculations in the Fat Into The Fire book and Journal for you to fill out and get your precise plan immediately.
You can do it! E-mail me and keep up with this blog for support.
Achieve.
-David

I used to not even eat breakfast, and when I would get to work be so hungry and dragging that I would drink the bad coffee with the awful, high fat and high sugar creamers. Then if anyone brought in any donuts or other junk, I would eat that also. Needless to say that was a 'fat time' in my life. I have learned a lot from your book and blog. I am getting thinner and fitter. I am also getting my mind more focused and feeling better emotionally. Thank you so much.

I have been able to make your 7 day diet my 'base' diet. Sometimes I may splurge during a family get together or a night out. But then I just get right back to my 'base'. It is really working out well for me. I don't feel like I am depriving myself and I am actually feeling more energized when I eat the better foods. So I want to eat the better foods now. Plus, I am getting in shape. Thanks for your Fat Into The Fire Book, it is awesome.

That is great, congratulations! I would also like to lose extra fat and gain more energy. I don't like to exercise though. It's so tough to start and then it seems to get boring. I lose motivation. Any suggestions? I guess I need to get the book and journal first.

Yea, I used to just eat a bagel or just a carb breakfast, but now that I have learned from your book and video regarding the importance of protein, I have changed my breakfast. I'm finding, I have a lot more energy and concentration all morning long thanks to the protein. I'm also not eating as many calories for breakfast or throughout the morning when I eat protein for breakfast. Thanx!!

5 minute coffee break boost - It's not just about the coffee!
When we sit too long or let ourselves become somewhat 'dormant', our bodies like to shut down. Our metabolism actually takes measures to decrease our fat burning!
How can we stop this, and keep ourselves in a 'fat burning mode'?
Easy - instead of just grabbing a cup of coffee or tea for that caffeine boost, why not energize yourself with a few quick moments of movements? You will keep your metabolism alive and keep yourself in a fat burning mode.
Fat Into The Fire show you how to achieve maximum health with maximum metabolism. This also means for many shifting your body into a 24 hour a day fat burning mode. Fat Into The Fire!
Take that excess body fat and BURN IT for ENERGY!

I've started using the Fat Into The Fire Journal and I have really noticed a difference in not just my achievment success, but in my mental focus as well. I really do feel and act as if I am in training for something now. Compared to the past when I was trying to get into better shape without using a journal, I did not feel that way. I had difficulty staying motivated and interested. But now, this journal is keeping me on my toes and keeping me more focused and paying more attention to myself and my goals. I have much more interest and attention going towards myself and my goals. I enjoy filling out the journal every day and reviewing my accomplishments. It is obviously also helping me to see what I have accomplished, which makes me get more encouraged and then I focus more and pay more attention to my goals and reaching success. It is a great way to reach success. It is awesome. Thanks!

Funny story, but I was the same way. I thought if I starved myself I would lose weight. I lost a little, but couldn't get rid of a lot of stubborn pounds. By then I got tired (no energy) of starving myself so started eating a lot, and back to my normal over eating. I got the Fat Into The Fire Book, journal, dvd, and cd about two months ago. I have lost about 20 pounds and am feeling great. I have been using the 7 day diet in the book and keeping up with my journal. I have been doing the workouts from the workout I dvd (which is also in the book). I have also been getting my mental focus on track as a result of listening and practicing the Missing Links CD. The program is fantastic and really works great. I want to thank you for putting it together. I now know the importance of what to eat, when to eat it. I also know how to make the most of my time when exercising. I don't have a lot of time to do it, but am achieving it with your short yet effective workouts. They are also easy to do. And even though I've been on the 7 day diet for a few months, I am feeling more energized than when I was overeating. Of course, I'm also feeling better about myself and as you wrote, 'I am on a roll'. I think if anyone wants to achieve thier goals this time, they can do it with your program.

One thing I've been doing is putting a few drops of hot sauce on most of my protein. It really seems to get my metabolism going. I've also been doing your coffee break boost video in the afternoons. I was surprised how it refreshes my energy and attitude. Thanks.
Reply to this
That's very interesting, you don't think about the importance of protein normally. I guess in the past you would hear a lot about not to eat too much protein. But from reviewing your FIF cookbook that has the information about whole grains, it looks like some of the whole grains contain protein. And a lot of us aren't eating these kinds of whole grains. So even more the importance of getting protein in your diet.

Thanks for your question Mandy,
The Fat Into The Fire book is a complete book and a realistic approach. More than just a diet, it is a lifestyle change. It includes more than just diet and exercise. It also includes what I refer to in the book as the Missing Links. This is information that most people are not aware about when it comes to diet and exercise. The Missing Links also refers to being in the proper state of mind to achieve your goals. To put it plainly - train your mind, and your body will follow. The Missing Links explains this, plus has specific exercises to 'train your brain'. Of course, I also have a journal to help track your goals and progress. I added workouts on DVD, just as they are in the Fat Into The Fire book, for those who would like to perform the workout along with us. I've added a special audio CD to assist in practicing the Missing Links and 'training your brain'. The Fat Into The Fire book has some recipes, but I wanted to add more, so created the FIF Cookbook for All Seasons. All that being available, the Fat Into The Fire Book is complete in itself and a great way to start. The other books, dvd's, and cd are just 'icing' for those who would like extra assistance. They are the added 'boost' to get you over that wall and to success. A sure way to increase your success rate. Please read the press release about the Fat Into The Fire book and more information about myself on the website, www.FatIntoTheFire.com. You can visit www.Amazon.com to view excerpts inside the book as well. Thank you.

The 'magic' of PROTEIN!
My Fat Into The Fire 7-day diet plan is structured in a way that will help you get the most amount of fat burning from the food you eat.
This includes THERMOGENESIS.
There are a lot of food stuffs that induce a positive thermogenic effect.
One of the most powerful items in terms of thermogenesis is quality protein. My FIF diet centers around the proper way to do that.
However, as far as non-protein items that will cause thermogenesis......anything spicy, like hot peppers, black pepper, and any spicy seasoning.
Green tea is another thermogenic favorite.
Also, an old trick is to drink 2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar right before a meal. 2 - 3 times per day, in addition to drinking water before each meal. This will help you to not eat as much, thus getting you back to eating the correct portion sizes.
Just remember, in the grand scheme of your entire fitness program, the combination of the Three Links from the Fat Into The Fire book is what is most important:
Proper nutrition, regular exercise, and a proper state of mind. I reveal the best ways to do all three in my Fat Into The Fire book.
These Three Links are the most important elements in total success.
Best of health to you,
David

Hey, I read about Thermogenesis in your book and on your blog. Are there any other foods other than spicy or coffe and tea that help this?
Reply to this
Hi, I took your advice in your book and switched from soda to selzter water. Sometimes I add a lemon to it. other times I put a little bit of juice to it. I don't crave the soda anymore I guess because I have replaced it with the seltzer water and also because I am eating a lot healthier on your 7 day diet program. I am also drinking a lot more water per your program and do feel a lot better as far as energy levels go. Do you think some people may be dehydrated if they are drinking a lot of soda and not much water? Do you think that may be making them feel less energy and crave the soda?

Hey it would be cool if they could interview some of the people they have quotes of in the book. Then that would be a motiviating movie. Are you using the 7 day diet they have? I am and the snacks are what really help I think.

Yea, that journal is awesome. I like to workout with weights and use it for that. I'm telling people at the gym about it.

Hello Ashley!
'Spot Reducing' is a great idea, in theory.
It is best to keep this in mind - maximum metabolism means that you will ultimately burn fat and excess energy at a maximum level.
Fat Into The Fire trains and coaches you on how to reach a maximum metabolism and your best health.
Do not focus on 'spot reducing' the abs or waist, but rather focus on the whole picture.
Cardio burns fat. Strength training burns fat. The Fat Into The Fire 'Fuel Link', 'Physical Link', and the 'Missing Links' all burn fat.
Combine the 3 Links, and the ultimate end result is that you will achieve the shape and fitness condition you want!
Focus on the Fat Into The Fire program as a whole, and the specific results will come.
I have a few DVD's from the Fat Into The Fire Program- all will work great at doing the physical part of burning the fat. Don't forget the other two links though from the book.
Keep me posted,
David

Josh,
That is a definite plan to impress your girlfried, with recipes from the FIF Cookbook for all Seasons, especially with Valentine's Day right around the corner.
However, if you really want to impress your girlfriend, make sure you get pumpin' with one of my workouts in the Fat Into The Fire book.Short workouts, just 2 or 3 times a week to tone and sculpt your body!

Hi David, I started reading your book and started your program. So far it is going very good. I really like the book. Some parts are funny but so true. I would really like to concentrate on my stomach area and reducing it. Do you have a specific workout just for the stomach? Thank you.
Ashley

Yes, I definitely agree. So many people feel out of energy or can even get health issues if they are not getting the proper nutrients. Most of us don't get the proper nutrients from our food. I've been taking Maximum Living's supplements and mineral juice for over a year now and I have not gotten sick since. I feel a lot more energized also.

I can tell you what I use and find to be reputable and effective. It is the line of Maximum Living's supplements and mineral juice. I highly recommend their mineral juice. It is like getting a shot of energy. Packed with trace minerals. Minerals that many of us don't get through our diet. Click on the link below to see more information about them:

I have lost weight pretty fast using the 7 day diet in the book. My friend, who cheated a little more has also lost fat but of course a little slower. It is so great how just this one book has so many options. I've started mixing in some of the other meal suggestions with the 7 day diet. I'm going to get the cookbook for more options and to help pick healthy dishes to make for my friends and family.

Scott,
The Fat Into The Fire book includes 3 weight training workouts, that is beginner, intermediate, and a higher intermediate.
These are the very same workouts that I do myself to keep tone and maintain; or to get better muscle definition.
Follow my FIF diet plan, which has a focus on protein, do the FIF workouts, and it is a guarantee you will achieve more muscle tone, strength, and definition.
Please note: One of my next books, due out in 2008, is a Champion's Guide to Bodybuilding. If you really want to add some muscle, above and beyond the range of a 'fitness physique', stay tuned! In the mean time, you can build a great and important base with the workouts in the FIF book. Thanks for writing.

Good evening Mary Ann, I certainly do address how to increase energy in my book. In fact, The Fat Into The Fire book is all about how to maximize your energy and your health. You see, it is much more than a diet or fitness book. I spent many years searching for the perfect combination of foods, exercise, and mental health to achieve the most energy and best overall health. I share this perfect combination in the Fat Into The Fire book. I break the book up into what I call three Links - The Fuel Link (proper and power nutrition); The Physical Link (fitness); and the Missing Links (positive psychology). Combine all three of these for high energy, and a healthy, fit body and mind. Use only one of the links, or part of a link, and it is incomplete. They have to all be used together. Then you will achieve maximum energy, maximum metabolism, and a maximum you. Once you begin practicing them, you will get on a high - on a roll. Just as I have, and many others, you can be full of abundant energy, excellent health, a fit body, and a happy mind. Thanks for writing,
Your online Personal Trainer,
David P. Morrow

Hello, Thank you for posting your question. We have some good exercises for the inner thigh in Workout II on DVD. They include the side leg lifts while lying down on your side. Another great one is 'Plee-a's Squats'. How to do it? Take a fairly wide stance, feet wider than shoulders. Point your toes out. Then, hold a can of soup or a small dumbbell weight with both hands, arms straight, in between your legs.
Then, just squat down, feel the stretch in your inner thigh, and concentrate on squeezing the inner thigh muscles as you push yourself back up to a standing position.
Do the squat slow and deliberate, feel the stretch then squeeze on the push back up.
Do 2 or 3 times for 12 - 15 repetitions.

Keep in mind, there are a few different options to chose from in the Fat Into The Fire book. There is a 'fast track program' if you are looking for a faster route. There is also a slower, more realistic route. This is great for many who don't want to make any drastic changes immediately. Lastly, there is the healthy route for all people. A way of life. Methods to maximize metabolism, energy, and health. That is the system I personally use every day. The Fat Into The Fire plan is a way of life plan. A way to get the most out of yourself. Take care of yourself. Invest in yourself.

I have a question: What would be some ways to increase energy? I just ordered your book, do you address this in your book? I seem to often feel low on energy in the afternoons.

Hi B.L., that is great news. Congrats. I am finding this program easier than others I've tried in the past. I guess because I am using their slowest option. I am using the 7 day diet on some days, and on others 'cheating'. It is turning out to be a more effective and a permanent change. A very positive and encouraging program. I can see myself reaching my goals. Anyway, congrats and keep it going.
