Weight Loss Mastery: Weight Loss the way it should be

This is the food plan that is changing thousands of my clients' lives right now. The best way that you can lose weight is really no secret. You just need to be eating the foods that your body recognizes so that you will store as little food as fat, as possible.

See attached for my Real Food Guide and start losing weight now.

I am a huge fan of Pinterest as a means of putting all of my favorite recipes in one place. Check out my Pinterest board for some easy to make, tasty recipes that will make losing weight seem easy.

Hydration is one of the most important aspects of your health that you can utilize to lose weight and body fat. Most people do not get their 80 oz of water daily because they are busy consuming sodas, coffee, sports drinks, energy drinks, and alcohol.

The majority of our bodies are composed of water, and we NEED it to exist and function properly. If you do not properly hydrate, your body could be clinging to pounds of water weight as an emergency reserve because it doesn't know the next time you are going to have a glass of water.

Our body commonly mistakes thirst for hunger. That means most of the time you believe that you are hungry, you are probably dehydrated. If you are trying to lose weight, make sure that you are getting AT LEAST 80 oz of water a day. Try drinking 1-2 glasses of water before every meal so that you are no mistaking being hungry for being thirsty. Drinking plenty of water is an excellent supplementary method to lose significant weight.

I have found with the majority of my clients and students that abiding by a high frequency eating schedule is one of the best ways that you can lose weight. When most people go on diets, they feel hungry and deprived of the foods that they want.

By focusing on eating low calorie, nutrient dense, filling foods and keeping to a high frequency eating schedule, you should never feel deprived of energy or hungry.

If you are not willing to sacrifice the foods that you love in order to lose weight, you are going to have to count calories and eat a caloric deficit. If you choose to restructure your diet and stick to either the 10 day real food challenge or the fat loss food guide, you probably won't have to count calories.

By focusing on eliminating all of the foods that cause you to gain and retain weight, your body will start to lose weight and body fat naturally.

Crockpots and slow cookers are perfect for losing weight. They take little time and effort to use, and are able to make massive quantities of high quality food. Having the ability to batch prep large quantities of delectable lean meats and vegetables are going to be helpful in giving you great weight loss meals that you can eat throughout the week.

I have been testing a new eating protocol for over a year now and have found that I can achieve my lowest body fat percentage (8-10%) while using it. In this lecture I explain the benefits of intermittent fasting and how it can improve your weight loss.

Intermittent Fasting (IF) has allowed me to get down to the lowest body fat percentage of my life in the last 10 years, and has help me transform my mindset about the relationship between nutrient timing and the human body.

I put together a short cookbook to help you on your way through this course and the 10 day real food challenge. If you are intimidated by cooking, don't be! These easy to follow recipes will be your guide to making healthier meals in no time.

If you don't have access to a gym or workout equipment, no need to fear. There are hundreds of body-weight exercises that we can do to lose weight and get into the best shape of your life.

High intensity interval training (better known as HIIT) is one of the best exercise solutions for fat loss. It allows you to increase your workout intensity, elevate your heart rate, and burn more calories as a result. Not only this, but it will dramatically reduce your total weekly workout time, in comparison to traditional resistance training methods.

In the following section I have included some of my favorite effective HIIT training workouts to get your started on your journey to a leaner you. I would recommend checking out some other reputable resources online for some full/weekly HIIT training programs to keep you motivated and going strong.

Here are some sources I would recommend for your workouts. Most of these can be done at home with little to no equipment.

“Jack’s got all the qualities you want in a trainer! He is sweet and full of kind words and encouragement. I like that he gets creative with his workouts, since I am someone who gets bored easily. Even though his workouts are fun, but that’s not to say they’re not challenging. You can find a trainer anywhere, but not everyone is going to be as passionate as Jack.”

-Nicole C.

“Jack is truly an excellent trainer! He is personable and provides consistent and positive feedback and encouragement. His classes are the perfect combination of challenging and motivating. He works with the whole person – mentally, emotionally, and physically.”

-Kristy U.

“My name is Daniel Castillo and I’ve been working out in Jack’s classes since September 2013. I enjoy Jack’s class because he is very creative in regards to new workout routines to keep me engaged. I have lost 25 lbs during this time.”

-Daniel C.

“In addition to a creative and thoughtful workout you can count on Jack for his own special brand of enthusiasm and encouragement.”

-Shawna B.

“Jack’s fit classes are always a great workout and burn away the fat!!

His motivation helps me to push myself to the limit!!

I love how he changes up the circuits with new routines. I've gotten leaner and meaner body, especially around the midsection with his ab workouts…whoa! Thanks Jack!!”

-Kathy H.

“Jack is a great trainer! He is very motivating, encouraging, supportive and always has a smile on his face. However, don’t let his sweet face fool you, his workouts are challenging and provide the right mix of strength and cardio training!

I have been training with him 2 times a week for over 6 months now and I really like how he mixes things up every time so no class is ever the same. Prior to taking his class, I never joined a gym and my daily “workout” routine was to walk my chihuahua (hey, that’s a half a mile LONG walk everyday!) . So, I was a bit worried whether or not I was able to survive the class.

Joining a new gym is a very intimidating experience especially for a total beginner, but Jack totally understood my concern and always made me feel welcomed. Sometimes when I have difficulty doing certain routines such as the kettlebell windmill that I absolutely hate, Jack is always ready to work with me to find a modified version. I am a lot more stronger than 6 months ago and I thank Jack for that!”

-Natalie C.

“Jack is an awesome trainer and motivator! I’ve been taking his classes for the past 7 months and the fitness results have been fantastic! I’ve toned up and gained strength to do exercises I didn’t think were possible for me… Let’s just say I am wedding ready for this Summer! In addition to a great workout, Jack keeps each workout fresh and exciting. I take his early morning class and his energy is great for a 6am class! In addition to being a great trainer, Jack also cares about the overall well-being and health of his clients and he is patient with people of all fitness abilities.”

-Rose M.

Making your food taste incredible isn't a matter of going to culinary school to become a 5 star chef. It's just a matter of having the right spices and seasonings in your cabinet and on your spice rack.

I have heard so many of my clients and students get burnt out on eating the same old chicken and steamed vegetables to lose weight. They inevitably get sick of what they are eating, and go back to candy bars and potato chips. If you can add a little spice to your life, you can make healthy food taste incredible.

It is a common misconception among runners that running alone is enough to strengthen your legs. I have had dozens of runner clients and friends of mine tell me that they workout their upper body with weights and push-ups, but completely avoid doing squats and lunges because they think running is enough to strengthen their legs.

What most don't realize is that strength training is a NECESSITY for runners so that their legs can stay healthy, flexible, and strong.

These are a few of my favorite, most effective techniques for adding volume and sheer size to your arms. If you are looking to add inches to your biceps, triceps, and shoulders, this is the lesson for you.

In this lecture, we'll be busting the commonly held lifting myth that heavy lifting makes you bulky. The truth is that heavy lifting doesn't make you bulky, but there are two things that do.

1. Eating a ton of poor quality calories will give you bulky, soft muscles.
2. Eating a caloric surplus of nutrient dense calories will give you big, defined muscles.

All the popularly held fitness publications are always talking about foods that have the ability to boost your metabolism. Can certain foods really elevate your resting metabolic rate?

This is a bonus download for a funcitonal ebook that I published a few years ago. If you are looking to lose weight and lose body fat, this will give you some of my favorite habits, tips, and tricks for getting to your goals.

I am so incredibly excited for you now that you have completed my course, but the journey is far from over. Getting to your weigh loss goal may only be a matter of weeks, months, or short years away. But maintaining your losses once you get their is a lifestyle of learning.

Many people believe that once they hit their weight loss goal that they can go back to eating how they did before they lost weight. THAT'S FALSE! You have taken that time to build a new body, and that new body requires new plans to maintain the results that you have seen.

Here is some valuable advice that I have for you in moving forward AFTER you have hit your weight loss goal.

1. Stay on either the 10 day real food challenge food guide or the fat loss food guide.
2. Take healthy eating one day at a time.
3. Use these workouts or workouts like these 3-5 times per week.
4. Find a sport or activity that you enjoy that is social, and gets you up and moving.
5. Keep cooking simple! When it gets complicated, you will be more likely to drop your ways and go back to eating fast food.
6. Find support! Get your friends and family to join on this mission with you, to live a healthier life.

Technique for Push-ups and Modified Push-ups

Technique for push-ups

• Keep your back straight.
• Place the heel of your palms just at or slightly above your nipple line.
• Hand placement is just at or a little wider than shoulder width apart, concentrating your weight in the heel of your palm.
• Make sure that your chest is the first part of your body to touch the ground.
• Lower your chest to the ground by bending your elbows, either backwards toward your waist (advanced) or outward at a near 90 degree angle with your torso (intermediate).
• If you cannot lower your chest to the ground in either a push-up or modified push-up setup, go as low as you can comfortably.
• Press your upper body off of the ground until your arms are fully extended.

How to Complete a Proper Table Row

• Lay with your back flat on the floor and make sure that the bar or table is at a distance off of the ground so that you can fully extend your arms, through the motion of your row.
• Grip the bar with an underhand grip.
• While keeping a flat back with your heels on the ground, and your legs straight out, bend your elbows and pull your chest toward the bar or table.
• In a controlled manner, lower yourself so that your arms are fully extended, and repeat the exercise.
• This movement is perfect for sturdy tables and desks, for working out at home or when you are traveling.

Anti-extension and anti-rotation exercises are the best types of exercise for strengthening your core (low back and abs).

Here are some technique and form notes to keep in mind for safely and effectively performing these exercises.

When Planking...

• Keep your back flat and in a straight line. Make sure your hips don't sag toward the ground or drive up toward the ceiling.
• Keep your hips as steady as you can, as if you were balancing a glass of water on your back and you do not want to spill it.

When using anti-rotation exercises like the Russian Twist

• If you are just starting to exercise, keep your feet on the ground and lean back slightly to where you feel your abs begin to tighten. If you need additional assistance, anchor your feet by locking them either underneath either a piece of furniture, a bar, or a set of dumbbells.
• As your core gets stronger, you will be able to lean back further and eventually be able to lift your feet of the ground to increase the intensity and effectiveness of this exercise.
• As your core gets stronger, you will also be able to add weight (external resistance) to these exercises. Holding a medicine ball, gallon water jug, sand bag, backpack, or any safe item that you can find around the house to add more weight, is perfect for increasing the effectiveness of these exercises.
  

How to Complete a Proper Squat

• Begin this movement standing straight up with your feet at shoulder width or slightly wider than shoulder width
• While keep a straight back, press your chest forward and roll your shoulders back--- push your hips back and bend your knees so that your knees DO NOT go in front of your toes.
• Keep your weight placement back in your heels, NOT your toes. This will ensure that you keep your knees at a safe placement.
• If you are able, lower your hips so that you make a 90 degree angle at your knee. If you can't get to 90 degrees, go as low as you can comfortably.
• Under control, drive your hips forward and straighten your knees so that you come back to the starting position.

How to Complete a Proper Lunge

• Begin this exercise from a standing position.
• Keep your chest forward and shoulders rolled back.
• Step one foot back behind or in front of the other, bend your knees and bring your rear knee to the floor (or as close to the floor as possible).
• When you are in the lowered position, both of your knees should be at 90 degree angles.
• Your shoulders should stay directly above your hips throughout the entire motion of this exercise.
• The weight in your front foot should be focused in the heel.
• Bring yourself up by driving your hips forward, and using the strength of your front leg to bring you back to the standing position.
• Do NOT jerk your shoulders forward to help yourself rise.

For technique and form, the same principles apply here as you would follow through the movement of the squat. The box, bench, or ledge that you choose is used as an added safety net, and also to improve your hips range of motion and the amount of depth that you can safely and comfortably achieve through the motion of your squat.

How to Complete a Proper Squat to Box

• Begin this movement standing straight up with your feet at shoulder width or slightly wider than shoulder width
• While keep a straight back, press your chest forward and roll your shoulders back--- push your hips back and bend your knees so that your knees DO NOT go in front of your toes.
• Keep your weight placement back in your heels, NOT your toes. This will ensure that you keep your knees at a safe placement.
• If you are able, lower your hips so that you can sit on the box.
• Under control, drive your hips forward and straighten your knees so that you come back to the starting position.
• DO NOT jerk your shoulders forward and rock backward and forward, using momentum to help you stand up from the seated position. You should only use the power of your legs to stand up from the seated position. If you cannot standup without using momentum, you need to use a higher box, bench, or ledge.

Same technique and form notes apply for this exercise as the squat. The only differences are...

• Exploding up from the lowered position, so that you jump off of the ground.
• Propel yourself from your heels, to the balls of your feet and straight up.
• Land as softly and quietly as you can to reduce impact.

The technique and form for step-ups are explained live within this video. Many of the principles that are used to safely and effectively perform step-ups are very similar to lunges.

Remember, 90 degree angles at the knee for the foot that is stepping up is ideal. If that is too much, start with a lower ledge or step and work up from there. Safety is our first priority.

No matter what your dietary parameters and habits may be, this technique is a surefire way to start losing weight with. This simple principle takes no added time to incorporate, if you are already eating breakfast.

If you can't go cold turkey on your old, unhealthy ways, LISTEN UP! Don't be so hard on yourself, because small changes in your diet and exercise can lead to phenomenal results. Start small like...

• Eating one less brick in your chocolate bar
• Adding half of your normal amount of cheese to your sandwich or salad.
• Eating your burger open faced or lettuce-wrapped
• Substitute a salad in for fries
• Use balsamic vinegar instead of high-calorie dressings
• Take the stairs
• Park at the back of the parking lot
• Ride your bike to work 1 day a week
• Take a 10-20 minute walk before work in the morning or on your lunch break

Mexican food is by far my favorite type of food on the planet, and not just because it is great for losing weight and dropping body fat. The average Mexican meal can be a perfect combination of...

• Lean proteins
• Health fats
• And healthy carbohydrates like vegetables.

• Queso
• Sour cream
• Chips
• Four tortillas
• Fried foods

The best portion control tool that you can use to keep yourself in check is your hand! It is something that is a great approximation tool that you can take anywhere. Here's how it works:

• Thumb: About the size of a tablespoon. You can use this to measure your healthy fats.
• Palm: You can use this to measure the amount of protein that you have at each meal
• Fist: Approximately the size of a cup. Use this to measure your vegetables
• Cupped hand: Use this to measure your fruit portions.

Want to know the truth about fitness trackers??? They WORK! The best successes I have seen from my clients and students are from those of them who quantify results. That means measuring something and anything as a means for tracking success and progress.

Fitness trackers are great because most of them measure:

• Steps
• Calories burned
• Distance traveled

• Sleep quality
• Stairs climbed/Elevation
• and heart rate

Toe shoes are like anything else in fitness. You need to gradually condition yourself to running in them and training in them, and build up slowly. The biggest mistake that I see with clients training in toe shoes is that they take on too much, too fast. This is a quick way to get calf, foot, and Achilles tendon injuries.

Toe shoes can be great for running and lifting though. I find that toe shoes allow me to get better technique with my squats, dead-lifts, and lunges by helping my focus my weight in my heels instead of my forefoot.

Make sure to speak with your doctor, physician, orthopedist, or health specialist to find out if you are healthy enough to start using toe shoes.

Is it possible to workout too much? YES! Working out too much can...

• Make you exhausted and restless
• Hinder your sleep quality
• Make you irritable
• Make you gain weight or plateau in progress
• Keep you from other things in life that are more important.

I have recently had a huge influx of students from India who have been asking about the best foods to eat to lose weight. I recently found some incredible paleo Indian food recipes that will help you remove the macronutrients and micronutrients in your diet that have been causing you to gain and retain weight.

See the attached document for a link to some excellent Indian recipes that are geared for weight loss.

This is one of my favorite topics when it comes to losing weight. So how much protein do you need to be eating to see the best weight loss results?

Depending on who you ask, you are bound to get different answers for this question. Some research has shown the BARE MINIMUM amount of protein that you need to eat to preserve your muscle mass while losing weight is approximately .4 grams per pound of body weight.

I would personally recommend eating between .8-1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight, or making sure that 40% of your daily calories consist of protein. The reason is that protein is really filling, functional to your body, and is digested very slowly so that your body will hardly store any of it as glycogen or fat.

It has been commonly held by health and fitness professionals that there is a magic protein window, approximately within 1 hour after you workout, in which you NEED to get a certain amount of protein to improve muscle recovery. Through research and testing we have found that this notion is FALSE.

Even if you are a seldom weekend drinker, alcohol can dramatically inhibit your ability to lose weight. Follow these tips and pointers to minimize the amount of damage that a few drinks can do to your weight loss goals.

Protein is more than just a macronutrient for meat-heads who want to gain a ton of muscle mass. Protein and healthy fats are actually the ONLY macronutrients that are absolutely necessary for our survival. So if you are looking to lose weight and get shredded, proteins are the kinds of functional, slow-digesting foods that will help you get to your goal.

This stirfry is ideal for weight loss because it focuses on our key food groups

1. Lean proteins
2. Healthy carbohydrates: Vegetables
3. Healthy fats

Here are a few personal recommendations that I have for your stirfry recipe

• Keep mixed frozen vegetables handy. It cuts out the time that you would have to spend chopping and mixing your vegetables. This is a time-saving stirfry
• Use 1-2 eggs to serve as a cohesive bonding agent to keep your stirfry together. Since we aren't using rice in this stirfry, this will be the rice substitute that holds it all together.
• Cook your turkey patties or ground turkey in a separate pan from your vegetables, and use separate spatulas.
• Add your favorite seasonings, chili paste, and/or gluten free soy sauce for extra flavor

I had a student request to me recently to add a visual of the seasonings, spices, and sauces that I use to make my healthy meals taste incredible. Here's a sneak peak at what I stock my spice cabinets with to make every meal taste delicious.

You may have noticed a certain trend in my body weight based workouts. I have 5 favorite exercises that I love to incorporate into my workouts because they are great for building muscle, burning calories, and melting fat.

How to Perform a Plyometric Push-up

-Start at the top of the push-up position

-Lower your chest to the ground like a normal push-up

Broad Jumps

Incorporating squatting and jumping to build explosive strength and burn more calories.

Broad jumps are an excellent plyometric exercise for building explosive strength in your leg muscles. Because of their cardiovascular nature, they are excellent for burning body fat, increasing your weight loss, and increase EPOC or the after burn effect.

Burpees

Don't enjoy running? Throw some burpees into your workout to ramp up your cardio.

Burpees are an excellent exercise for building explosive strength, burning calories, and strengthening your heart. Burpees are intense, so make sure that you work slowly into them before you push yourself to the limit. You DO NOT have to perform burpees with a push-up to reap all of the strength and cardiovascular benefits of this exercise.

How to do a burpee

-Start from an upright standing position

-Squat down by bending your knees and pushing your hips back

-Plant your hands just inside your knees

-Explode through the heels of your palms up from your pushup

-Push your hands off of the ground, clap, and replant your hands to return back to the planted pushup position

Floor Wipers

Floor Wipers are one of my favorite core exercises. They are excellent for working the full range of your abdominal muscles.

How to do floor wipers

-Lay flat on your back and put your hands under your glutes, so that your palms are facing the ground.

-This position will protect your low back while you are exercising.

-Push your chest slightly off of the ground to contract your abs. Do not strain your neck upward.

-Raise your feet off of the ground and up toward the sky until your butt comes slightly off of the ground. Keep your legs as straight as you can.

How to do a jumping lunge

-Do a step-back lunge so that both of your knees are at 90 degrees at the bottom of the lunge

-Explode with both of your feet from the bottom of your lunge and switch feet midair.

-Land softly on the balls of your feet and repeat the jumping lunge.

How to do a lunge glute raise.

-Get into a split squat position so that when you drop your hips and back knee to the ground, that both of your knees are at 90 degrees.
