By the way, I’m about to tell you the story of how one twist of fate during a vacation. Thus, completely turned my lifelong beliefs–and my career–upside down…
Also, and how I discovered that a large portion of the science. Above all, we thought we knew about weight loss is just plain false…
Conversely, I’ll admit…It was a “WOW” moment that changed my life…and could quite possibly change yours.
As a rule, the old-school thinking goes like this:
Drinking alcohol is bad for you…
Hence, It makes you gain weight…
Also, It gives you the dreaded “beer belly.”
Well, it turns out they’re WRONG.
By the time you’re finished reading this, you’ll see that it REALLY works like this:
In short, If you combine a glass of red wine with some of your favorite foods. As a rule, in this very specific way, you shift your metabolism into hyperdrive!
In the first place, It’s important you get the full story about how one “off-the-wall” observation I made. Most importantly, during a West Coast vacation will change how you look at alcohol and weight loss forever…
Because, this quirk of science–which on the surface is a complete contradiction to what we’ve all been told. Above all, has been right under our noses for decades…even centuries.
Incidentally, I’m a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and Certified Nutritionist, hired to help people lose body fat.
Period.
In brief, I have been in the fitness industry for roughly 30 years. And for the last decade, I’ve kept detailed records of how much weight my clients have lost.
As a result, at last count, my clients have lost over 5000 pounds of body fat!*
For the most part, that’s two and a half TONS of ugly fat.
*NOTE: This is fully documented through my in-house Biometric Tracking software.
As a rule, if you lived anywhere near my facility north of Boston, I’m the guy you went to. Accordingly, when you absolutely needed to lose weight…kinda like a “hired gun of weight loss”, if you will.
I only mention it to highlight an important point…
Do you think all of my successful clients STOPPED drinking wine while they lost all that weight?
Of course not!
In fact, many of my clients started drinking a little more wine…(not to excess, of course!)
But…now I have a bit of a confession to make…
At first, I had no explanation of why they were losing this weight so easily. (of course, I could take some of the credit, but I knew inside there was more to it).
Also, not that long ago, I was one of those trainers who was telling my clients. Above all, they had to stop drinking alcohol if they wanted to lose weight.
Most noteworthy, many of them had no intention of giving up their favorite glass of red wine…yet time and time again, they still lost weight!
And even though I never fully understood the reasons behind their fat loss success, I thought…
“Hey, if they’re happy, I’m happy!”
But all the while, something kept gnawing at me. I just knew there was more to the story…
After all, 5000 pounds of fat loss doesn’t just happen by accident!
My personal revelation, and how it triggered the journey that changed everything!
I was on vacation visiting friends in California I hadn’t seen in at least 15 years.
I was really looking forward to getting together with them again…
And as I figured we would…we had a great time.
Now, this is a really fun crowd, and as expected, the wine was flowing freely.
The weather was ideal and Northern California looked as beautiful as I remembered…
I’d lived in California for a while in the 80’s and early 90’s when I was competing at a world-class level in the shot put and discus.
Back then we throwers all had one dream in common…
To throw as far as we could…and if everything fell into place at the right time, earn a spot on the US Olympic Team.
Staying ‘fit and lean’ was not our concern. Our dream required us to get as big and powerful as possible.
But that was then….and, as life goes on, our priorities change.
These days–with all of us in our 50’s or older–most of us pay close attention to our health and nutrition.
(In fact, I have made it the focus of my career.)
Anyway…
After back-to-back days of socializing with old friends, lots and lots of good food – and plenty of wine – it was time to head back East.
And this is where things took a strange turn…
When I got home, I couldn’t help but notice something…
My pants fit a little looser than normal, and I could feel something was different.
I stepped on the scale expecting bad news from a week of eating and drinking way more than usual; but, instead of gaining weight, something really bizarre happened…
I actually lost about 5 pounds over the course of 4-5 days!
On top of that, I didn’t even notice the weight loss happening…
And, I’ll admit to one thing for sure…
It was certainly not for a lack of calories!
I overindulged a LOT during this trip. Eating plenty of food and–yes– getting a little “buzzed” on a pretty regular basis.
That’s exactly why none of this made any sense.
As a fitness pro, this was just weird…
I mean, I’d been doing the weight loss thing for over 25 years, and was at a total loss as to what was happening.
I was experiencing first-hand the exact same effect I saw in my other weight loss clients for years.
And I was more than a little intrigued.
Something unusual was going on here, and that’s when the professional side of me took over. I could no longer sit back and take credit for something I didn’t fully understand.
So I sat down, grabbed a pen and paper and did something that I ask of all my clients to do…
I wrote up a complete ‘food recall’ of everything I ate over the course of my trip.
Every meal. Every snack. All of it…
I even tracked how much red wine I drank…admittedly that was a little tougher…(hey, don’t judge me)!
As I looked at my food log, an unusual pattern started to emerge…
Apparently, the change in my menu was the trigger.
And there it was, right there on the paper…staring me in the face.
A food-wine combination that burned fat like gasoline!
It turns out, I had accidently stumbled onto something science had just recently proven in the lab.
A newly discovered process that turned “traditional” weight loss assumptions upside down!
Because of my eye-opening vacation experience – and my geeky love for research – I dove in and quickly became an expert on alcohol and its powerful connection to weight loss.
I soon realized that a lot of the warnings about alcohol and red wine just didn’t hold up.
Red wine is actually one of the healthiest types there is.
Studies on red wine have been popping up in the media for a long time now. You may have seen some of them…
Here is summary of an expert opinion from the Mayo Clinic.2
The alcohol in red wine can…
- Help prevent artery damage caused by high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol
- Produce positive changes in blood pressure
- Raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol
- Reduce the formation of blood clots
In fact, there was some great news for women specifically!
“A study of more than 19,000 middle-aged women from the Archives of Internal Medicine found that women who drink a moderate amount of alcohol, such as a glass of red wine a day, are less likely to become overweight or obese than women who don’t drink.”
Here’s another one…
“Scientists followed nearly 16,000 middle-aged women in a seven-year study for the Women’s Health Initiative found that women who drink moderately are more likely to maintain a healthy weight than non-drinkers.”
However all of this good news comes with one important warning:
If you make a common mistake and combine your wine with the wrong types of food, most if not all of these health benefits can be lost!
You’ll shut down your fat burning machinery completely!
Professor Min Du’s work at Washington State verified the existence of a previously unknown fat burning process in humans.
And it even has a name: “The Fat Conversion Pathway”
Let me explain…
Without diving into the details too deeply, here’s how it works:
Dr. Wu and other researchers discovered there’s a powerful enzyme with the sole function to trigger the conversion of stored fat into energy.
The problem is (and the reason you haven’t lost weight with wine before) there are toxins common in most diets that makes it impossible for this enzyme to do its job…
This enzyme (called AMPK for short)–when activated–ramps up your metabolism and melts fat off your stomach, arms, and thighs faster than nearly any other nutrient out there.
The problem is these toxins inactivate this enzyme. Now, I’ll give you one guess where this “fat-converting” enzyme can be found…
Yup. Red Wine.
Can I really drink wine AND lose weight?
The short answer?
Yes. Absolutely!
In fact, I now believe that drinking wine is exactly what you SHOULD be doing to lead a healthier life, while you get rid of those unwanted pounds…
…Also, even if you drank wine in the past and actually GAINED weight!
…even if you’ve tried all those MISERABLE fad diets…
…even if you DESPISE working out.
Because today, you’ll discover how to lose weight
…without giving up your favorite glass of wine…
…without spending hours at the gym…
…and without weeks or months of deprivation spent trying to get that body you’ve been longing for.
Believe me, as a wine-drinker myself, I’d be skeptical too…but since I’ve pulled all the pieces together and witnessed this approach work soooo many times, there’s just no denying it!
In fact…
My newly discovered approach has helped my clients collectively lose more than 5000 POUNDS total!
And I’ve pinpointed a simple food-wine combination that reignites AMPK, and turns on a fat-burning pathway inside your body that’s so powerful…
You could lose 15 pounds in just 60 days
Keep in mind, like so many fitness experts, I’d sworn off alcohol for both myself and my clients whenever weight loss was the goal.
But, because of this new discovery, now you don’t have to choose between enjoying your favorite wines and losing weight.
You can have both.
Listen, if you’re over 45 like me (OK, so I’m actually over 55)
- You don’t have illusions of being a fitness model…
- You’re not training for a bodybuilding competition…
This may sound weird coming from a fitness business owner and former All-American athlete, but the reality is –
The majority of us simply want to…
- feel better…
- move better, with fewer aches and pains…
- have plenty of energy throughout the day…
- maintain a clear mind…
- keep stress levels in check…
- enjoy life with family and friends…
- and yes, lose weight and look good while doing it!
I suspect most of you would agree, these are not outrageous goals.
Can you imagine what your life would be like if these simple desires fell into place?
No longer carrying around that extra 10, 15, 20 or more pounds…
No more waking up with aching and painful joints…
Walking through your day with a surge of additional energy, without that jiggly fat slowing you down…
Noticing your endurance levels suddenly skyrocket…
Stepping on the scale every morning and seeing the numbers drop lower and lower…
Feeling a renewed confidence as you make your way through the day.
Realizing your stress levels are plummeting…
And even starting to turn heads like you did years ago…
In fact, putting this process into place involves nothing more than “tweaking” the things you ALREADY do!
Here’s why this matters to you…
I had finally figured out the one simple factor that can make the difference between weight-loss success or failure for the average wine drinker…
Now, I can finally explain how you could be sabotaging your own weight loss, without even realizing it, by rendering your own “fat-converting pathway” inactive!
When you take red wine and combine it with this simple food trick you push your own metabolism into overdrive – by re-activating AMPK!
In fact, it turns out that drinking red wine may actually be the ‘missing link’ to your weight loss goals.
I realize this is completely contradictory to what every fitness expert in the industry may tell you, but research has verified it!
Losing body fat does NOT have to involve weeks and months of starvation and stress.
Just as I had proved it to myself over the course of a few short days in California…
I was ecstatic!
…And it’s something so simple, ANYONE can put it to use!
This powerful secret explains how red wine can go from being a cause of your weight gain to your most powerful weight-loss ally!
So, here’s what I did next.
…including drinking red wine!
It’s called
The Red Wine Diet
