When people start a new fitness regimen, they do so because they want to see results. Counting calories and working out can be a major challenge, especially for those of us who are in poor shape to start with. When our efforts do not produce results quickly, it’s easy on giving up.
If you are lacking motivation or your motivation hinges on tangible results, the Body for Life program, could be the answer to your weight loss quest.
Body for Life founder Bill Phillips claims that anyone who follows the program for 12 weeks will have the best body he has ever had. It sounds like a lofty claim, but many participants obtained fabulous results with this program.
The Fat Burning Workout Plan
Intense fat burning workouts are the core of the Body for Life plan. The fat burning exercise plan requires participants to alternate between weight training and aerobic exercise. Each type of exercise is done three days a week, and the remaining day is designated as a day of rest.
The fat burning workout plan is carefully constructed to minimize the risk of injury. Participants do upper body weight training one day, aerobic exercise the next, and switch to lower body strength training the following day. After another day of aerobic exercise, the cycle repeats, leaving at least four days between weight workouts on the same part of the body.
Six Meals a Day
With its heavy emphasis on working out, the Body for Life program advocates eating six small meals each day to boost metabolism and keep energy levels up. Each meal consists of one serving of protein and one serving of carbohydrates. A serving is the size of one’s fist. Dieters must choose from a list of approved foods.
Dieters are also encouraged to eat at least two portions of vegetables each day and drink ten glasses of water. Supplementation is encouraged, including a protein supplement and a small amount of flax seed oil or another healthy oil. Total calories should be about half protein and half carbohydrate, with a minimal amount of fat.
The Body for Life diet and workout plan can sculpt the body, but it’s not for everyone. It requires a great deal of dedication, and it’s extra heavy on the exercise. Even so, it has become a very popular program. The fitness challenge is still going on today, providing a chance for motivated individuals to win cash and prizes.
Anyone who sticks to the Body for Life plan comes out a winner. If this sounds like too much hard work try the Easiest & Fastest Way To Lose Unwanted Fat In only 4 Minutes Flat… and create a fat burning workout that fits your lifestyle like a glove.

Very good information. I completely agree with the six meals per day. I think it is the only reason I haven’t gained a lot of weight in the past few years. My activity level has decreased, but I have managed to maintain my weight.
