Can you workout only one day out of three and make gains?
I certainly can… and I bet you can too.
Today I begin my audio series where I address your questions and comments. Today’s question comes from Mike K. in NYC who asks…
“Hi Jon…First, I LOVE your Every Other Day Diet and 7 Minute Muscle books! But I was wondering if you could help me with a problem. I’m having a hard time finding the time to make it to the gym using 7 Minute Muscle. Obviously I’m not referring to the 7 minutes (ha!) but the 5-day-per-week Monday-Friday schedule you recommend for beginners. Is there any alternatives? Thanks!”M
Below you’ll find my response and a workout plan you can put to use today to make faster gains with less overall time in the gym. Just click the “play” button to listen in.

STUDY:
Hypnosis has long been used to help people lose weight. There have been multiple studies that have shown the long-term benefits of hypnosis on weight loss. In one meta-analysis, researchers found that after receiving several sessions of hypnosis, overweight women lost on average of 11.83 pounds while women who did not receive hypnosis lost 6 pounds. This means that the hypnosis group lost 97% more pounds than the non-hypnosis group.
What is even more astonishing is the follow-up that was performed on the participants of the study. Researchers found that those who received hypnosis lost an average of 14.88 pounds during the follow-up. This compares to only 6.03 pounds in the non-hypnosis group. The participants who received hypnosis lost 147% more weight than those who did not use hypnosis to lose weight.
This study shows that hypnosis is not only beneficial in helping people lose weight in the short term, but it helps people continue to lose weight even after treatment has ended. This is powerful information that can help a lot of people reach a healthier weight.

“Fat-and-Happy”… Is It True? Study Tells All…
Posted by: | Comments[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ]
Ever heard the phrase, “Fat-n-Happy?”…
Of course you have. We used to refer to obese guys as a “jolly fat-man”… or perhaps someone who is overweight as “fat-n-happy”.
Is it true? Can (gasp) being overweight actually make you happy?
Rather than giving you my opinion on the matter, I take a look at three national studies on this page.
The presentation is only 5 minutes long… and I reveal the number one case for alarm in the United States and Canada.
Read that again: The Number 1 Cause For Alarm.
And I’m NOT an alarmist… I’m a rationalist. But stats like these do not lie.
They cannot lie.
And this deals with our children.
Please… go see:
click.here—> Fat-n-Happy Study
P.S. I can tell you from my own first-hand experience, which I document in “Fit Over 40″, that my personal 10-year-journey through the muck of obesity was ANYTHING but happy.
I was depressed, to the point of suicide at times (thankfully I never went that far.) I was socially hidden. I wore “fat-clothes” all the time. The few times I HAD to wear jeans or dress pants I rushed home to change into sweats because they were just too damn uncomfortable to tolerate.
Bottom line: I was “fat-n-miserable”.
I think most people who are overweight or obese feel more despair, sadness, or perhaps just really frustrated than “happy”. Of course you can be happy and be any size, color, shape, etc. But I’ll tell you from my experience that I am MUCH happier now that I’m fit and trim.
Part of that is just because I feel better. The other part is how the brain functions. When you’re more active, you release more “feel-good” hormones… and these are powerful anti-blues hormones… they really make you feel like a champ. At least that’s been my experience.
But go watch the 5-min video and see what you think…

Bragging Time – JAH Style
Posted by: | CommentsWe’re all proud of our kids which is why we’re good actors moms. So here’s my brag for my kid – totally unrelated to acting – or is it?
I’ve always said that kids who go on auditions will be far more prepared for job interviews than the average adult. They have experience talking with adults looking to hire them from a young age. Job interviews will be a breeze.
My brag is that my son has launched a business career from confidence he gained through acting. He’s producing, shooting and editing skateboard videos and in the process starting a business.
Reggae colored gear is all of the rage, especially with the skateboard crowd and those wearing skate fashions.
JAH Style is a reggae clothing and accessories line we started before Adam was born. Adam is rebuilding it starting with re-issue of the Logo wear and presenting items he and his buddies like from other vendors.
Check out his site (a work in progress) www.JAHstyle.com

1-minute fatloss tip for this week
Posted by: | Comments[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. ]
Got a minute?
That’s all I need to share my first of many video-based 1-minute fatloss tips.
Go here for the first of many….

My new design is something to see too.
I have my weekly live 1-minute video, tons of new features… even a “diet quiz” if you care to test your fatloss knowledge.
Plus my main presentation: “1 Tip To A Flat Belly!”
Just don’t laugh at my ballcap/unshaven look in the video… I wanted this to be super-casual, but I may have taken it a bit too far… ; )
Oh… speaking of a flat belly… I’d like to give you yet another reason to eat and workout the way I suggest in “Every Other Day Diet” and “7 Minute Body”…
I had to go to the hospital last week. No worries… I’m fine… just a bit of a scare. Definitely enough to wake you up from walking through life like it will never end! But fortunately for me, only a scare.
Anyway, the doctors in the hospital were amazed when they looked at my heart and lungs (they had to make sure I did not have any infection… and I didn’t.)
“Most 46-year-olds do not have these around their heart,” the doctor said as he showed me the pictures they took. You could see all these vessels around the heart and branching off the main arteries.
“Peripheral vessels… they were formed by your exercise program. Well-done! These help keep your heart strong and healthy.”
Every doc that listened to my heart said, “Wow… strong heart!”
Indeed… resistance training makes it so.
Before I left, after the scare went away, I asked the doctor his opinion on my dietary plan. “Well, obviously you are very lean and in fantastic shape for a man of any age.”
Thanks doc, but I wasn’t fishing for a compliment! Since this was a heart doctor I was curious as to his thoughts.
“If you had heart disease, or if you want to prevent it, this is the exact dietary plan I would recommend.”
While I expected to hear this, it was still music to my ears.
So, my higher-than-normal dietary fat and protein, lower-carb, and relatively frequent “fun food” dietplan is “ideal” to combat heart disease according to the good doc. And according to my family doctor.
Nice to know.

Remember: A good dietplan and exercise is not always sufficient to keep you disease-freee… but I love what the doctor told me. “People who exercise and eat like you LIVE through it and recover much faster.”
Fortunately I didn’t have a nasty virus to recover from… but if I did, I know my condition would have helped me do just that.
