Well this week my inbox has been crammed full with mails telling me that the results are starting to show.(Infact, I'm barely through replying to half of them so if I haven't answered your query then please don't think I'm ignoring you. I'm doing my best to answer y'all).
Alot of people by the look of it have told me they're finding the diet easy to follow, others are asking me about "cravings", and some of you seem to be struggling on food variety (particularly at breakfast)!
You really shouldn't be!
There are SO many food ideas that you can try whilst your on my diet. As long as you're steering clear of your banned foods then the list really is endless!
Its time to get a little "creative" thats all!
So anyway look, if you haven't got time to be "creative" with your meal plans and you want something quick and easy then here's a few more food ideas you can try over the weekend if you're getting bored of eating the same ol recipes day in day out:
Breakfast Ideas
Eggs & Yoghurt Oatmeal
1/2 cup organic gluten free oatmeal mixed with 2-3 egg whites and water.
Cook it for about 2-3 minutes and top with natural live yoghurt.
Sprinkle bluberries ontop.
Omlette
1 whole egg
3 eggwhites
2. 1/4 cup natural live yoghurt
3.1/4 cup blueberries
Whip up the egg whites and one whole egg in a pan .
Top omelette with the yoghurt...And sprinkle with blueberries
Lovely!
Chocolate craving on this Diet? try this...
As I mentioned before, some of you "chocaholics out" there are asking me if there are any alternatives to chocolate whilst on this diet?
Let me just set the record straight guys : )
If you're craving something sweet (or chocolatey lets say) then usually this is due to something lacking in your diet. Your body will typically crave what it HASN'T had from your last meal so make sure your meals are balanced over the next week and try some new recipes out.
If you'd like a substitute for sugar/chocolate cravings then you must read this interesting article on the health benefits of CAROB.
Keep it up. The best is yet to come!
Catch you tomorrow,
Sam

Day Fifteen Of Diet Challenge
Well, it’s the start of week three and I can genuinely say that I’m feeling much better than I did on week one.
Any “detox-nasties” that were still left in my system seem to have disappeared and I’m feeling fresh, revitalised and ready to attack week three now so beware! : )
I myself have lost a couple of pounds (although this wasn’t the main reason why I’m doing the diet, I’m doing it for the health benefits) and I’m looking leaner and more defined than I have done in a while.
I’m working hard with my exercise (although not becoming obsessed with it!) making sure I get in 3 workouts per week whether it be at my local gym or in my garden. My stomach muscles are starting to come through again (yay!). I didn’t have much excess bodyfat in the first place if I’m being honest, although I am starting to notice some changes now, which is good.
I’m drinking plenty of fresh clean water (although not filtered water). As I’ve been saying for quite some time now using a high powered “super-duper” water filter can not be as great as we might think!
Why?
Well as well as sucking out all the bad bacteria, it also takes the good bacteria with it too so I’ve been opting for Evian bottled water.
So anyway whilst I’ve got you here, I just wanted to take some time out to talk to you about the 2 diet techniques that I refer to in my report and that’s Metabolic Typing and calorie zigzagging.
I’ve had 3 of the same question hitting my mailbox this week and the question was “when to start eating according to your metabolic type” and “when to start zig-zagging calories?”
Good questions these but you can relax!
These 2 diet techniques are implemented on day 50 (Week 8) of the Diet Challenge so you’ve got a while yet although it won’t hurt to find out what metabolic type you are now! You can go here to fill out the questionnaire and find out more info on it if you like (if you haven’t done so already).
So for now, keep going as you are (Remember this is a 60 day commitment so don’t stop here), and here are three more fat burning tips to help you stay on course this week
Cut out the alcohol
Having a drink whilst on this detox will not only seriously reduce your strength and recovery after your workouts but will also put a “screaming halt” on your fatloss goals.
I mentioned the affects of “acetate” in my report but incase it didn’t go in the first time, let me refresh your memory : )
Alcohol is converted into a substance called acetate and this stuff is bad news if you wan to burn that stubborn bodyfat.
You see, acetate stays in your system for a very long time. A car engine typically uses only the one source of fuel, however your body on the other hand draws from a number of energy sources such as protein, carbohydrates and fats.
The choice of fuel (for your body) is dictated by its availability. In other words, your body will use whatever you feed it! So when acetate levels rise, your body simply burns more acetate (for fuel) and LESS FAT!
The exact opposite of what you want to achieve!
So in essence, acetate pushes FAT to the back of the cue.
Need I say more? Do yourself a favour and cut it out completely for the next few weeks.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying “don’t ever drink alcohol ever again” that would be both foolish and unrealistic but what I am saying is that you do need to stay off the source for the next few weeks if you want to see some great results by Day 60.
And if you want some more reasons to stay sober for the rest of this challenge then check this out : )
Classic eh? Although some of those guys must have been seriously intoxicated to do some of the stuff they were doing : (
Anyway, just stay off it ok?
(ok where were we!)
Use your food diary
Keep using your food diary and keep planning what you’re going to have to eat for the next day. Remember if you fail to prepare then prepare to fail. Ok : ) that sounded a bit of a cliché (even by my own admittance!) but the truth of the matter is that those who stick to a food diary are more than likely to be successful than those who don’t.
So write down everything you eat and drink and make sure you know what you’re going to eat for the next day.
Use low fat Cooking Techniques.
Avoid frying and microwaving, instead replace with steaming, baking, grilling or stir-frying.
Good luck, keep the momentum going and I’ll speak to you in the week : )

Day Eleven Of Diet Challenge
Hey guys, only me!!!
Ok, midway through week 2 and I'm still receiving amazing reports of people losing on average between 6-9 pounds and thats just in the first few weeks!
And from the reports I've been receiving from alot of you, the "detox nasties" seem to be well and truly over and the increase in energy, mental clarity and general wellbeing is huge!
This is great news. keep it up guys, we've only just begun!
The next 2 weeks you can expect to further enhance your fatloss, excess fluid loss and increase muscle tone, further reduce your parasite population (if they were high!) and your energy levels will continue to rise too. Mine have noticeably started to get better, I actually feel like I have a spring in my step again and I've had some of my best workouts this week!
So things are looking good for you at the moment!
Hang in there!
So anyway, I wanted to blog my meal plan for today that I promised you from my last message and if you remember, all the ingredients were bought from my local farmers market at the start of the week so the chicken is fresh and the fuit and veg is all organic.
I actually find this way of shopping, coincidentally, MUCH cheaper than shopping "all organic" in the big chain supermarkets so before you start shouting me down saying "hey, organic is too expensive" then think again.
Ive said it once and I'll say it again. We don't have to break the bank to eat healthily! And if you want another reason to eat organically, then read my article "How Toxic Are You?" in the main forums area of my new community I'm building.
Oh and by the way, if I can make time to go down to my local farmers market once a week then I'm sure YOU can too so there really is no excuse NOT to eat organically whilst following this diet.
OK, mini rant over : )
I love you all really!
Here's my meal plan for the next couple of days
Breakfast
Organic muesli with rice milk
mixed seeds and raisons sprinkled on top.
Mid Morning
Organic peanut butter with Celery sticks
Lunch
Grilled chicken with Green leafy Salad
Mid Afternoon
Half a handful of Mixed nuts with plain natural live yoghurt
Dinner
Chicken Both (leftovers for tomorrow)
See Recipe uploaded.
Remember to eat a varied diet to avoid cravings guys!
Till next time,
heres to your fatloss success,

Day Eight Of Fatloss Challenge
Well, its week two and by all accounts from the emails I’ve been receiving today and over the weekend, people are doing really well.
Most people so far on average have lost between 5 and 9 pounds. Some losing more and some less but on the whole though some good results right?
(Remember there are no “rules” as to how much you’ll lose and at what rate you’ll lose it.)
I myself have dropped 4 pounds so far (I must have been REALLY toxic over the Christmas period!) but after having some minor headaches over the weekend I feel much more energised now.
So look, here’s a bunch of tips for you all this week to fast track your fatloss even further : )
Eat little and often throughout the day.
This will help to keep your energy levels steady so that you don’t feel tired at any point during the day
Eat protein with every meal.
Base each meal around some protein (either meat, fish, chicken or half a handful of nuts if you’re snacking) as this will help hunger stay locked up for a lot longer and will stop you from snacking on sugar.
Drink plenty of fresh, clean water.
Water will help flush out the toxins and by-products you’ve been consuming over the festive season. A general rule of thumb is to try and drink a litre of water for every 50 pounds you weigh. So, if you weigh 10 stone, you should be drinking just under 3 litres of plain, clean water every day.
Eat plenty of fruit and veg (but don’t go mad!)
Eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. Make sure it’s fresh and steer clear of anything tinned, canned or frozen as these have been processed to a certain degree.
Stay off the caffeine!
All caffeine beverages are out (that includes coffee and decaf). Decaffeinated coffee (incidentally) is actually VERY processed because of the chemicals used to remove the caffeine so steer clear of this too : )
There you go! 4 more detox diet speed up tips
OK, I’m off to my local farmers market tomorrow to get my fresh fruit and vegetables for the week. I’m also going to stop in on my local butchers to stock up on some fresh meat and chicken.
I’ll keep you posted on what recipes I did with these purchases later this week to give you some more ideas on what to eat.
Keep it up : )

Day 5 Of Fatloss Challenge
Well it’s the end of the first week of my Diet Challenge (only 7 weeks to go, yay!) and already I’m starting to receive early success stories from you. : )
Now if you’re anything like me, you maybe starting to feel the affects from eliminating your banned foods.
Affects such as:
Bloating,
Bad breath (nice!)
Zits,
Gas,
Sweet cravings
…and headaches : (
Everyone is different when it comes to side affects. Most people following my diet will experience these symptoms for a few days, provided they’re not cheating! For others, they will linger for a little longer and for many, they may not kick in until week 2.
Some won’t experience hardly ANY symptoms at all!(hey that’s not fair!)
The thing is, symptoms can vary from person to person.
YOU may experience one symptom more than say, your best friend (for instance if you drink a lot of caffeine, such as coffee, tea, coke or any other caffeine beverage then it’s pretty common to get headaches or migraines).
If you eat a lot of sugar (or processed food) you may get some kind of sugar craving.
Whatever category you fall into, you can rest assured that there’s no right or wrong so relax.
Everyone is unique.
My advice is hang in there, these affects won’t last for long, provided you stick to all my guidelines. Drink plenty of water as this will help flush out all the toxins(that are causing your symptoms) a little quicker and take some hot baths as this will speed up the toxin release too : )
Now you maybe thinking "Oh, it's ok, I'll just have a bit of chocolate or a quick coffee...surely that won't hurt?"
Well let me tell you that it WILL hurt, and it WILL make a difference.
Here's why...
You know I said that these symptoms usually only last for a few days?
well guess what, if you add MORE toxins into your system whilst your trying to expel all the old ones, then these symptoms will last alot longer than a few days!
Now if you're anything like me, I'd prefer to get them over and done with in just a few days rather than have them drag on for longer wouldn't you?
So look, it’s plain and simple, be determined that you WILL complete these 60 days and refuse to stop.
I know you can do it!
In the mean time here’s a workout you can do if you want to speed up your results : )
Enjoy your weekend and I’ll catch up with you on Monday

Day 3 Fatloss Challenge
Well, Day 3 and I'm getting into the swing of things now.
Still no sign of any withdrawal symptoms yet although I'm NOT counting my chickens too soon. From previous times of following my report I personally have a tendancy to get sweet cravings and mild headaches from eliminating sugar but it might be different thi times round (We'll see!). No major side effects (such as bloating, gas etc) as yet, although I'm aware of it so I'm looking forward to maybe experiencing some of those at some point....hmmm not!
Have had a VERY busy morning today and I have a busy afternoon and evening ahead of me so I'm just chilling for a bit after my garden workout. It was only 20 minutes but hey, it's better than nothing and I put a big effort in for those 20 minutes.
Gotta dash,
Speak with you tomorrow and in the mean time, here's a fun video that you should watch before your next workout and another reason why you don't need to be a member of a health club or a gym to to get the fatloss results you're after : )
Watch this now and don't forget to turn your speakers up! : )
Sam Winkworth
ps - don't forget to leave me a message here to see how you're getting on ok?
pps - Feeling brave?
Tell me what you weigh and some of your measurements so that we can track your progress over the 30 days.
Feeling braver?
Submit a photograph or start your very own diet blog and chronicle your own journey.

Day 2 Of Fatloss Challenge
Well it's day 2 of my fatloss challenge and have to confess I'm feeling a little stiff from my H.I.T workout I did with my brother yesterday but all in all not feeling too bad. Got to bed at around 1030-11 last night (I managed to stop working by 10 and switch my computer off which was a miracle!!!) however I want to try and drop that down to 10-00 for atleast 4 out of 7 nights just so that I'm not losing out on that vital hour (between 10 and 11) where my muscle tissue is repairing itself.
Eating is going well. So far today, I've had organic porridge with some nuts and seeds for breakfast.
Mid morning I had half a handful of nuts with some natural plain live yoghurt.
Just had organic chicken with some mixed salad for lunch and later for dinner I plan to have chicken (left overs from lunch) with a small amount of brown organic rice with some vegetables.
I'm not going to train today but tomorrow I'm going to do another H.I.T workout in my garden around lunch time so I'll let you know how that goes.
I have to dash as I have 4 clients back to back tonight...busy, busy busy!!!
Talk to you tomorrow

Day 1 Of Fatloss Challenge
Well, it’s day 1 of the fatloss challenge and I’ve just come back from working out with my brother. We did one of my H.I.T workouts. We were only in the gym for 45 minutes but boy did we work hard during that time!
The workout consisted of 20 minutes of weights followed by some challenging intervals on the treadmill. Feel great now!!
I had my last few alcoholic drinks over the weekend with my friends. That’s it now for 60 DAYS! No more alcohol (I don’t drink that much anyway, only a few every now and then so I won’t notice it that much…he says!) : )
I don't drink coffee or eat processed food (I try to eat organic whenever I can) so these won't be much of a problem eliminating them completely from my diet. I am rather partial to the occasional sweet though after a meal, so it will be interesting to see how I get on with eliminating sugar over the next few days.
Eating has gone well today so far : )
Had breakfast at 8:30 this morning: Organic Porridge with seeds and raisons,
mid morning: half a handful of mixed nuts with apple,
Lunch: Tuna with balsamic vinegar, salad, 1 x apple.
Later in between clients, I plan to eat the following:
Midafternoon: half a handful of mixed nuts with natural live yoghrt
Dinner: Organic salmon, with a couple of baby new potatoes with broccoli
Ok, I’m off to my next client now so I’ll catch up with you tomorrow. I hope you’re going ok today aswell?
Whatever you decide to do this January, please don’t join THIS slimming club! : )
Have an awesome day : )

60 Day Fatloss Challenge Countdown: 2 Days Out!
We’re only 2 days away from the 60 day fatloss challenge and hopefully by now, if you’re truly serious about achieving great fatloss success with me this year then you should have emptied your cupboards and downloaded your report by now.
If you haven’t, then hey, there’s still time!
I’ll be with you every step of the way. You see, over the next few weeks I shall be blogging my own blow by blow account of the journey to help you stay on course. (I completed 5 months of my diet during 2008 but I’ve also had a real slack period over Christmas and like most of you guys I need a good kickstart for 2009.
So we’re in this together! : )
I’ll also be uploading some training videos for you as well to give you some new ideas for the next few weeks. Simple workouts that are designed to boost your metabolism long after you’ve finished the workout, meaning you’ll be burning body fat all day long.
Referred to top coaches as “The Afterburn Affect” this means you can literally burn fat around the clock, even while you sleep. Not bad eh? Not only this but these workouts can be done anywhere. You don’t have to be a member of a gym to create The Afterburn Affect so watch this space
All you need to do is join my new community I‘m building at http://www.samwinkworth.ning.com and tell me how much weight you want to lose.
Don’t worry, it’s free and its already got some sample meal plans, recipes and videos uploaded there that I know will help you stay on course whilst following the challenge.
Tell me why you want to lose it and when you want to lose it by and remember research shows that those who write their goals are more likely to be successful than those who don’t so go ahead and leave me a comment there.
Here’s that link again:

Have a good weekend and I’ll catch up with you on Monday for Day 1 of the fatloss challenge!

Hey,
I won’t keep you for too long today, I know you’re very busy.
Just wanted to let you know that we’re only a few days out from the start of the next 60 day diet challenge, and by the volumes of email I’ve been receiving, it looks like people are more than ready for it.
The last few days I’ve been busy preparing myself for next Monday sorting my fridge, freezer and cupboards for the next 60 days.
I’ve been getting rid of all my banned foods and replacing them with my allowable foods.

Get Back In Shape After Christmas: Sam’s 60 Day Fatloss Challenge
Well, Christmas and new year have been and gone and 2009 is upon us already and I don’t know about you but I had a real pleasant time spending it with friends and family. Trust me, having worked extremely hard over the last year I felt as though I fully deserved a break this year (all be it for 3 days!).
Although I have to admit, I did do a little over indulging myself (hey, I’m being honest!), and whilst writing this am actually feeling a little lethargic and still have the remains of a cold that every man and their dog seemed to have over Christmas!
I feel like the festive party season has gradually taken its toll on my body. I haven’t put on any excess body fat mind as I‘ve been keeping my exercise up, but now I’m more than ready to get back into my healthy diet regime.
So how was Christmas for you?
Did you get a visit from the festive flab monster?
Was Christmas a little too good to you?
Are those jeans a little tighter than they were before the festive season?
Feeling like you need a good detox? : )
If you answered yes to any of the questions above then hey! it’s time to get yourself sorted and back on the road to health and fitness for 2009.
Now that Christmas is well and truly over, vacations are done, kids are back at school,
its time to lose that excess body fat isn’t it!
Its time to get serious about getting back into great shape.
Think about this for a second,
All of December you’ve been over indulging on Beers, wines, mince pies, (not to mention all that Christmas pud) during which time your kidneys, liver and lymphatic system have all been taking a hammering (which it turn can affect your bodies ability to burn body fat) so its only fair that you give them a break for January wouldn’t you say?
And if that’s not a good enough reason to eat clean for the next 60 days then
check this out now.
Yep, its time to commit to my 60 day diet challenge (or recommit to it if you‘ve already downloaded it) It costs nothing, except a little commitment and effort from your end, but the rewards are huge. Remember there are no pills, supplements, powders or complicated calorie counting involved whatsoever just eating the way mother nature intended us to eat.
That’s it!
In fact, If you commit to start it over with on Monday 12th January I’ll commit to going through it with you so you don’t feel like you’re in it alone.
There’s no catch, I just want to kickstart the first 60 days to 2009 to make sure that all of my readers start the year in great shape.
What do you say?
Want to commit to this?
Just leave me a message in the comments section of the blog. Tell me that you want to go ahead and work with me for FREE on the diet for 60 days starting Monday next week and what you hope the result will be.
Catch up with you tomorrow!
