This book acts as a kind of "prequel" to Beyond Metabolism. In Understanding Metabolism Scott Abel discusses the truth about metabolic damage, the truth about calorie counting and calorie math, and what will and what won't lead to a healthy, robust metabolism and a fast metabolism. Learn about: - What realistic protein needs are if you're weight training. - Why diets fail when they don't take metabolism into account. - What causes metabolic damage, and the reality of repairing metabolic damage or healing a broken metabolism. - The truth about cardio, and why more cardio can make you fat. - How less exercise can lead to a faster metabolism. - Why the current "calorie-burning" focus of exercise is flawed and ineffective for optimal metabolic function and weight loss. - What kinds of exercises and training is best for an optimized metabolism. - Is caffeine okay? What about artificial sweeteners? Should I be aware of gluten? The book also has in-depth discussions of current trends like Paleo Dieting, the DNA Diet, and more. Learn the proper diet for a fast metabolism and health, longterm metabolic function. Learn what you need to know to lose weight... and KEEP it off! Get Understanding Metabolism now!

Low carb diets... fat loss diets... Paleo diets... low calorie diets... and on and on, seemingly forever. Diets. Don't. Work. What's wrong with the standard, traditional approach to weight loss, dieting and nutrition? We know that the definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result... yet everyone forgets this when it comes to fitness, dieting, and nutrition "programs." People get caught going from one diet to the next, but never finding a sustainable way to live healthy and lose weight. Going from weight loss diet or fat loss diet to the next will give you a slower metabolism over the long term, making each weight loss attempt harder than the last! The multi-billion dollar fitness and diet-industry is built on repeated failure. There is more information about weight loss diets, nutrition, and fitness than there has ever been. People who struggle with diets and their own weight often know more than average, but what if everything you "know" about fitness and dieting was precisely what was holding you back? Have you ever felt imprisoned in a cycle of failure or yoyo dieting? - This book is a must read for anyone who knows a ton about dieting and fitness, and yet still struggles with weight and food. - If you have had trouble sticking to diets for the long-term, you want to read this book. - If you are sick of investing so much time, energy and money into dieting, only to find yourself with the same frustrating results, then read this book. Understand why all diets are destined to fail, and what the alternative is. Learn how to rid yourself of your the diet-mentality, in whatever form it takes. Work on creating a sustainable diet that lasts forever, and that gives you a faster metabolism over time, not a slower one. Note that this is not a book filled with diet recipes and fat loss workouts. Buying more books like that, for many people, would be a symptom of the very problem The Anti Diet Approach is about. You see, if you're stuck in a certain cycle of failure, and stuck within a certain mentality, then even when you have the "right" information, you'll still find yourself stuck. That's why this book is about breaking away from what's holding you back. It's about freeing yourself.

Forget settling for the so-called "golden" years. Instead, join the platinum club! Membership is open to anyone, as long as you're willing to take care of your body and your health as you age and as you experience some of the best years of your life. Physique After 50 argues that physique training doesn't have to end the moment you turn fifty. Aging is an important part of life, and this is the prime of your life. At the same time, as you age there are real physical and hormonal changes going on in your body. Being fifty is not the same as forty, so of course your exercise needs to account for this. Most younger fitness trainers out there just can't appreciate what these aging-related changes mean for you and your training. Physique After 50 offers real-world, practical training advice from Coach Scott Abel. Scott himself is in his mid-fifties, and has experienced these aging-related changes firsthand, both with himself and with his one-on-one coaching clients. By using smart training strategies (and by leaving your ego at the door) you can look and feel great during what can be some of the most fulfilling decades of your life. You can feel physically younger even as you embrace the wisdom that comes with age. Physique After 50 book tells you how to do exactly that. Physique After 50 includes: How aging affects your fitness and training, and what to do about it. Three different workout programs geared specifically for the "Physique After 50" demographic. You can choose which of the three programs is right for you depending on whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced trainee. (There is also advice on progressing from one program to the next.) Bodypart-specific training "tweaks" to avoid injuries (especially those "overuse" injuries that are often related to age). How to balance rest and recovery with training. "Forget About It" - what forms of training to ignore or simply stop using entirely as you age. What elements of the warmup are more important (and how most people do these things wrong). The hormonal realities of aging (for both men and women), and what that means for you and your training.

This book is for you if you have substantial weight to lose (20 lbs. or more) and you are tired of trying different diets and different workout programs. Permanent Weight Loss is not just "a diet." In this book, you will learn the emotional strategies, the mental strategies, and the diet and training strategies to lose a lot of weight and keep it off - permanently. Fewer than 10% of dieters consider things like the emotional aspects of eating, dieting, and weight loss when they undertake a new diet. The percentage of actual diets that take these things into consideration must be even smaller. This is why they fail! Permanent Weight Loss argues that it isn't about finding just the right diet, or just the right recipes, or the absolute perfect exercise program. Making the transition from "weight loss tourist" to "permanent resident" is about changing your approach to diets and dieting; it's about devising a personal diet strategy that is sustainable, reasonable, and effective, and then staying committed to the process of weight loss. Losing weight and keeping it off requires getting real about what a journey such as this takes. This book is about going beyond just "what you eat," and considering things like day-to-day lifestyle, your sleep health, the daily things that add stress and drain your willpower, and more. However, unlike other books that discuss mindfulness and mindful eating, this book is not against the idea of devising a personal diet strategy. You don't have to rely "only" on hunger. There are benefits to having a diet strategy in place. (For example, one of the benefits is that a good diet will get you back in touch with your body and inner cues about your hunger and energy.) In this book: - Why most diets fail, and how to approach weight loss instead. - "Getting real" about the emotional, physical, and mental components of weight loss, as well as getting real about what permanent change really takes. - What "integrative fitness" really means, and how thinking in this way can help you lose weight. - Use Buddha's eight steps to end suffering to stay committed to the process, rather than agonizing over the end goal. - Guidelines for creating your own personal diet strategy without having to endlessly count calories. - Sample meal plans, info on what macronutrients to include and why they're important, info and strategies for portion sizes and portion control. - Resistance training exercise programs to get you started, and guidelines for just starting out if you're not ready for stepping inside a gym.

Why do you we reach for that piece of chocolate? Why do we "cheat" or binge on our diets, especially after things have been "going so well"? What causes over-eating, cravings, and why do we "cheat" on our diets? How are our food habits determined by our environment, and what can we do about it? Going on "another diet" is never going to solve your food, diet, or over-eating issues. You're not going to maintain your weight or weight loss on yet another fancy diet with restrictions and rules. Going on another diet addresses the symptom, not the cause, and in doing so, can actually make matters worse. This book gets to the root causes behind your food, eating, or weight issue. If you struggle to keep weight off, or if you struggle to stick to a diet for longer than a few weeks, this book is for you. It's about addressing your habits and the underlying causes behind your food issues. In the modern world, we are seeing raising body weights, an increasing prevalence of food addiction, overeating, and eating disorders. The previous "unconscious mechanisms" that kept our body weights in check have disappeared. Part One addresses all the various ways things are stacked against us in our modern world. It discusses the reward center of the brain, and how it interacts with various modern environmental and cultural influences that cause things like food addiction and overeating. It talks about how our bodies are evolved to fight against fat loss, and prefer weight gain. It talks about recent changes in food industry, and the ways in which it specifically engineers "hyper-palatable" foods that have a very specific effect on your brain and your psychology. It discusses the importance of cues, your emotions, stress, and what every person needs to be "aware" of if you are going to truly solve your food, dieting, or weight issues. The main argument here is that a food or eating issue is actually rarely a metabolic issue. Most of the time there are other things at play. Part Two is all about solutions to food, dieting or over-eating issues. The solutions are not metabolic, or about going on another diet. This section is about higher (self) awareness, the truth about behaviour modification and habit reversal, and what it truly takes to get rid of an eating or food issue. There are no "one-size-fits-all" simple recipes for this kind of thing -- because each food issue is unique, so too will each solution be unique (even if the principles underlying the solutions are the same). Part Two is about becoming more aware, and learning to listen to your own body, your brain, and your thoughts, to achieve a higher level of food awareness. There are specific instructions you can follow, with advice about applying them to your own situation. Beyond Metabolism includes: - A special questionnaire to address the specifics of your food, dieting, or eating issues - The real biology of weight control and metabolism - The emotion of food, and the cognitive associations your brain creates - "Habit Reversal" How to reverse unwanted habits - How to tell if you have a real food addiction to a specific food - How "another diet" will never solve your current issues - Five Steps to Food Freedom - How to use the essential principles of behaviour modification for your food issue Get Beyond Metabolism now, and become more aware of of what's REALLY affecting your food eating habits and behaviour, and what you can do about it!

A blueprint for building a better body, gaining muscle, and overcoming your genetics Training for Strength and Training for Muscle Development You've been told, "train for strength, and development will come" and that "heavier is better." These are half-truths at best, and myths at worst. The Hardgainer Solution argues that you train first and foremost for development, and then a certain kind of strength will come. Yes, you will get bigger and stronger on this training program, but true physique development and muscle gain is not about 1RM strength. This program is designed with one thing in mind: gaining muscle and physique development. If you are a hardgainer, you need to gain serious muscle mass before you can focus solely on dieting down, getting leaner or getting shredded or getting ripped. Note that this weight training program does not require you to drink 2 liters of milk every day, or to drink protein shakes all day. You do not need to engage in 4-hour weight training sessions or take steroids. The diet and meal plans included are reasonable and sustainable, and come with guidelines for tweaking and customization. They are what Scott has used with his own clients. What's Included? The background and history behind this program, including its roots in Scott's training sessions with Bill Pearl in the 80s Explanations and introduction to the program's methodology Guidelines for not just "what" to do when you workout, but HOW to workout effectively A complete breakdown of over 80 individual workouts (plus links to get formatted, printable versions of the workouts) How to "keep it alive" and stay fresh while staying consistent on the same program Guidelines and formulas for determining your nutritional needs A list of meal plans for different calorie levels The importance of UNDERtraining The Hardgainer Muscle "Dilemma" Training Volume, Strength, and Recovery Needs The hardgainer dilemma is as follows: as a hardgainer, you need a certain amount of training volume to gain muscle. However, at the same time, as a hardgainer, you also struggle to properly recover both between workouts and within an individual workout. Most weight training and bodybuilding programs for hardgainers fail to address this. Those that do tend to edge towards extremely low volume: a low number of reps, a low number of sets, only 2-3 training sessions per week, and so on. That's just not the way bodybuilders train when their focus is development. To get the most out of your body, you need to train in a way that lets you get the proper volume in a way that allows your muscles to recover and grow. The Hardgainer Solution was designed with precisely this goal in mind. Order the Hardgainer Solution today to get the full program, meal plans, and more
