The Rapid Results Nutrition Crash Course . One hour full of the hardest hitting fat melting strategies, tactics, tips, and tricks!

Diets Fail. And it’s not you. It’s them. And the 3 Big Reasons are.

#1 Diets are CONFUSING- one book says no carbs, another says no fats, the next says protein is bad. Aren’t you dreaming of the day you can walk into a grocery store and not be terrified or torture yourself with guilt, no matter what you eat?

#2 Diets are CHALLENGING- just like you I can’t possibly keep up with all the “breakthrough” diets that rain in from the sky each-and-every-day.

#3 Diets are CONSUMING-being consumed with food is affecting your mood and self-worth. And life is way too short to be downright depressed because you ate some some garlic toast for lunch!

In less than an hour you’ll discover:

-How to fire up your metabolism with 3 simple secrets(the weight-loss industry doesn’t want you to know)

-Why eating less and exercising more is a recipe for disaster(yo-yo dieting comes from this)

-The Top Twelve WORST foods you should never eat.

-The Top Twelve Best foods you can eat all the time

-Why this one group of foods will never be stored as body fat(also how to take maximum advantage of negative calorie foods)

-Why counting total grams of fat is an antiquated weight-loss technique( and what works better instead)

-How to boost your energy levels higher than you ever thought possible – almost instantly (you’ll feel the difference the very next day)

-the Single most important thing you must do before you even set foot in a gym or start any fat loss program ….(it’s more important than any diet, training routine, supplement, or drug known to mankind!)

I know you hate having your time wasted as much as I do.
I guarantee not to waste your time. This is no bait and switch. You will walk away from this talk. With not just what to do. But how to put it into play and maximize your results.

The 100 Best Foods You Can Eat



Before Rapid Results Fitness Boot Camp

Before Boot Camp

After only 8 Weeks

Only 8 Weeks and Down 16lbs.

Congratulations to Michelle Gumm! 12 weeks ago she joined our Rapid Results Boot Camp. She was that time at her heaviest weight ever and um…soft and doughy(her words not mine!). She told me she had  8 weeks to get  ready to walk down the aisle.

I explained what we would  need to do to get her there picture ready(wedding photos last forever!).  I told her a food journal would be the first step to cleaning up her eating habits and getting traction. When it came to exercise long steady-state cardio wasn’t the way to go. We’d use resistance and short-burst cardio in boot camp to get her visible results quickly.

Michelle  delivered on her promise to go all out and throw herself into the program. From Day 1 she wrote down all her food  and started to cut out junk and unsupportive diet habits. Michelle knew that the diet was key and really poured her efforts into eating lean and clean.

Just as important she never, never, never missed  a Boot Camp session.  This special-ed teacher has had perfect attendance…and it shows!

After 2 weeks she’d dropped 4 pounds! At 5 weeks she was down 10 pounds and 11 inches. We did this video at 5 weeks.  If you’ve seen it before watch it gain. She made the “gym membership that I never use”  and  “personal training with no nutrition so no results”  mistake so many people make. She also talks about keeping her food journal from the very beginning.

After we shot this video she lost another 6 pounds  and was 135 before she left for Florida. Total dropped  in 8 weeks was 16 pounds and went from an size 8 to a 4!

Now she’s in Florida putting the final touches on her July 4th Wedding. She’s in great shape and looks fantastic even after moving  half way across the country and planning a wedding!

Thanks to her  two of her fellow teachers have joined the Hurst-Colleyville camp and we’re expecting great results from them too!

Michelle showed what a person with a tight deadline,  a lot of desire and the right program can accomplish in a short amount of time.

So from Me, Kris, The Body Firm and your fellow Boot Campers Congratulations Michelle!

Have a Great Wedding Day!

Dedicated to Your Success,

Dave

Week 1

Ryan Mordecai came to me with a goal of losing 40 pounds by the end of the summer getting rid of the gut and getting his life back. Well I think from these photos the belly  is history.

Over the last 10 years with a high pressure job in banking, a desk job and taking clients to lunch every day  had taken a toll on his body, mind and most of all his confidence. The weight gain made him physically tired and sluggish all the time. The fatigue and struggle really started to take it’s toll on his self-confidence. Hitting a high weight of 280lbs. Ryan got out of breath walking from his car to the house at night. His blood pressure was spiking every day and sleeping through the night was a distant memory. Ryan put it to me “I just don’t feel good. I don’t feel like myself. This isn’t who I am.”.

Ryan decided to join my Accelerator Program  and made some big moves with his eating from day 1. Those nutrition changes and his exercise consistency paid off big and fast. He revealed how he lost 23lbs in 8 weeks with these 3 tips in this blog post. Losing that 23 pounds and 8 inches in his waist the first 8 weeks gave him a lot of momentum and confidence in the program and his own potential.

Now after 12 weeks on the Accelerator Program he’s down a total of 35 pound and has lost 22 inches overall. He’s working with his trainer Heath 3 times a week and tightening his diet down.  Ryan through his hard work and dedication, hit the Body Transformation Trifecta- He looks better in the mirror and in his clothes, he feels better and has the energy of a teenager , and his health is better he’s sleeping through the night and his blood pressure is down. When you hit those three big movers you don’t just look better in a swimsuit you’re a new and improved version of yourself!

This has all been accomplished in 3 months. In February he was at his heaviest weight ever and now in June he weighs the same as he did in High School-Insane!

He might need a tailor

Get this man to a tailor

Right now Ryan is in his 4th month of Accelerator. His goal is to hit the 40 pound down mark by July.

Congratulations to Ryan for his incredible transformation and insane results!

Dedicated to Your Success,

Dave

Like Bodyweight exercise and Kettlebells  some of the old-school moves like Donkey-Kicks have been proven over time to be highly effective.
