Been hard posting this last week as I've been WAAAAYYY busy with refitting my Islington Studios, giving a bunch of talks and preparing for my events this weekend with Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training Fame where we'll be presenting to the cream of the UK's fitness profession on how to build a great fitness business by overdelivering on service.
I've been very good though.
I've just started adding a little coffee back this week as I like the flavor (I don't use it for a kick) and I've done nearly 7 months on elimination so far this year with just a few breaks,
I had a little toast a few days ago too, though that bloated me up right away so that's off the menu again.
I'm giving myself until midnight on Sunday and started all over again, this time alongside a VERY strict training regimen to transform my body shape in 1 month.
I'll write in again tomorrow to explain how I'm doing it... you'll think I'm nuts : )

World's First Lose A Clothing Size In 21 Days Or Get 10 Times Your Money Back Guarantee
No, that's not a gimmick or some dodgy advertisement.
I mean it.
I'll explain more in a second but first a little background....
(Imagine wavy 'dream wiggles' here) : )
4 years ago, I became the first coach in the UK to offer a money back guarantee on the results I attained with my clients.
My industry were stunned and amazed by such a 'daring move'. In truth, it wasn't daring at all, I felt it was what EVERY trainer should do.
3 Years ago, I extended the guarantee to every member of my team and vowed that if they could not acieve a dramatic physique transformation with their client in the promised time then we'd refund.
The industry thought I was nuts!
2 Years ago I dropped our timeline for achieving the guaranteed loss of at least 1 clothing size from 6 weeks, to 4 and shook the industry.
They started to hate me.
Last year I pushed the envelope again and promised we could get the same result in 21 days and I was laughed at.
They stopped laughing at me this year when I promised a 21 day guaranteed result or a refund of double your investment back.
Then they just got plain scared.
Now, here's the thing.
Well, 2 things actually.
First, why should any professional (and especially one that's charging you upward of £40 an hour) feel that it's ok to charge so much purely for an hour of their time rather than for a result?
The truth is, no-one even want's a trainer for training's sake; they want them for the results they're supposed to be able to get, yet the public often spend months or even years pursuing their goals whilst the trainer rakes in the cash...
Second, why would YOU go on paying so much money for a workout, albeit in friendly, motivational environments, if the results are not guaranteed?
Worth thinking about.
Anyway, so here I am having just posted to my industry about what they should be doing about this http://personaltrainersuccess.blogspot.com/2008/10/do-you-have-balls-for-this.html when I thought to myself 'Why not take this up a notch... or ten?'
So I did and I am.
If my old guarantees scared the industry, this will petrify them : )
I'm going to promiise each and every client who works with me that they'll lose AT LEAST one clothing size in 21 days or they'll get 10 times their money back.
That's without being forced to count calories, follow stupid dietary regimes or living in the gym.
That's simply following what I already do with my existing clients.
This will change the face of this profession if enough trainers and gyms
take the same approach, don't you think?
Please leave me a comment on this... I'd love to hear your thoughts.

P.S - As I told you yesterday, I have 2 client slots to fill at my Islington studios. If you'd like to meet with me for a consult to discuss your suitability to take one of them then email daxmoypts@aol.com today.
Remember though, I only take those who're serious about their results and, as I stad to lose £1500 for every hour I work with you if you're not, you can be sure my selection criteria will be even higher than normal : )

Another Quick 4 Minute Fat Loss Workout
Fancy another short, sharp yet highly effective
fat blasting workout to help speed up your
elimination diet results?
Great!
I've got another 4 minute workout that you
can do at home with no equipment yet still get
fantastic results... fast!
Try adding this to the other 4x4 workouts I gave you last week for some great results!
Perform 20 seconds of squats, 10 seconds rest then 20 seconds of pushups for a back to back circuit of 4 minutes and tell me how you get on : )
Dax Moy
Your Results Coach
www.daxmoy.com
www.themagichundred.com
www.lookgreatnakedchallenge.com
P.S - I've just had 2 clients (a husband and wife) leave
me after 4 years to go and move to another location
so I rather unusually find myself with 4 appointments
a week free in my diary.
If you're the sort of person who appreciates working
with a coach who will simply not allow you to fail then
you might, just might, be the person I'm looking for.
But before you go getting all excited about working with
me, let me be straight with you.
1. I'm only looking for people who are SERIOUS about their
results - I really don't enjoy working with people who are
just going through the motions.
2. I'm expensive (In fact, I'm the most expensive coach in
the UK) - I make no apologies for that, nor do I
give discounts for 'bulk packages'. As immodest as it may
sound, I'm worth every penny I'm paid, as all my clients
will tell you.
3. I routinely 'fire' clients who will not follow my coaching
advice - Let's face it, I'm too expensive to ignore. You could
by a magazine for 2.99 and ignore that instead... much
cheaper! : )
4. You WILL get results - No if's no but's you'll get results
from the very beginning of our time together or I'll refund
double your money. I don't HAVE to... I WANT to!
So look {!firstname}, if I haven't put you off and ONLY if you
understand and agree to the 4 points above, then drop me a
line at daxmoypts@aol.com with the subject line
'Train With Dax' and I'll arrange for a consultation at my London
studios next week.
If that's not you, then thanks for reading : )

2 week FREE with Dax Moy!
It's true!, I'm offering all my readers who live or
work in London the chance to train with my coaches for 2 whole
weeks starting Monday for zip, nil, nada or, in plain English, for
free!
Now, I don't normally run free promotions as I tend to feel that
they devalue the services and the expertise offered by my team, but
this time I've listened to my guys and decided to go ahead and do
it this once.
So here's the deal.
We're running a full compliment of pre work, post school run,
lunchtime and after work SMALL-GROUP classes at times that
fit into practically anyone's busy lives.
Not only that, these classes are short yet relatively intense 30
minute sessions which means that they won't take up your day and,
if you're performing them in your lunch break, will still leave you
time to eat after your session.
See, we think of everything : )
The classes we're offering include our famous Meltdown Training, a
seriously effective fat-burning workout, that'll have you losing
pounds and inches in no time, kickbox fitness where you can punch
and kick your way to a strong, slim and supple body, Yoga... with a
twist (this class is actually fun rather than serious and moody)
and not least our Ass and Abs class which is a hardcore butt and
belly workout for those who love to feel the burn.
You've got a full two weeks to attend these classes as my guest and
you can literally attend as many as you want during that time. In
fact, I'd love for you to do so.
Y'see, I'm hoping that you'll come to my classes, use them all,
love the workouts, the motivation, the support and, best of all,
the great results you're getting and that you'll choose to stay on
with us so that you can get even more.
There's no catch though {!firstname}.
There's no hidden sales machine in operation here. I want to be
transparent with you. I'm giving you these classes for free so that
you'll experience the benefits and hopefully stay, but if you
don't, if you choose to say goodbye at the end of 2 weeks then I'm
still happy as I know you'll tell other people about your time with
us.
The way I see it is simple; I'd rather give YOU the experience for
free than pay some slick advertising department a stack of money
for space in a magazine ad.
It's win-win, right?
But look, here's the thing.
Our classes are small, 10 people maximum, and it will be first
come, first served as far as allocation goes.
So you've got to move quick ok?
Send an email to daxmoypts@aol.com with the subject line FREE
Classes.
Within the email tell us which classes you're most interested and
what times of day and days of week you'd most like (I know you
don't know our timetable yet so tell us what time you'd RATHER come
come)
Remember though, we're starting classes next Monday so you can't
hang around.
As soon as a class is filled with 10 people then that one will be
closed to the public and you'll have missed your chance.
For that reason, please don't 'claim' a place on a class if you've
no intention of using it, ok?
This is a great opportunity, I hope you take me up on
it and I get to meet you in Islington very soon.
Seeya!

THREE WEEKS COMPLETE!
Well, here we are at the end of week three and across the board people are telling me of increased energy, better skin, better mood and, oh yes, tons of fat loss.
Now let me be clear here. Fat loss doesn't mean the same as weight loss.
Granted, many, many people are losing a good bit of weight too, but some people have only lost 4 or 5lb so far yet, from what I'm told, they've lost many inches throughout the body.
So why the big fluctuation in results?
Well, it's got a lot to do with how much water you were holding at the start of the diet due to toxicity (the more toxic you are the more water you retain) as well as how diligent you are about following your exercise routine.
If you've been training as advised then you'll have definitely built some muscle and, of course, that extra muscle adds a little weight. However, muscle is dense which means you'll be smaller and 'tighter' as a result.
Not bad huh?
Now, for this last week, I want you to go full out and make sure you're following the diet very strictly.
Bed by 10.30.
Drink 1ltr water for every 50lbs of body weight
Eat from a variety of foods.
Eat higher than normal (normal for you) amounts of protein.
Exercise daily!!!
Consume spicy meals a couple of times this week.
Add fish oil to your diet.
Take a multimineral supplement, especially zinc and magnesium.
Do all this and some great things will happen for you this week, I promise.
C'mon guys, just 7 days to go... finish strong! : )
Truth, joy and love

Fast Fat Loss Workout With Kettlebells... and more!
First off, thanks so much if you were one of the wonderful people
who popped over to http://tinyurl.com/3h3r6d and answered my short
1 minute survey.
You've helped me so much!
I've already used some of the information I've learned to write a
bunch of new articles and shoot some new video's that I'll be
sharing with you in the coming weeks.
(Hey, if it wasn't you, then move your butt on over there... it'll
take you less than a minute!) :
http://tinyurl.com/3h3r6d
So far, I can tell you the main thing that's on people's minds.
LOSING FAT.
No surprise there right, but did you know that the MAJOR reason,
I'm talking well over 45%, that most people feel that they have a
problem achieving their fat loss goals is...
Motivation!
People tell me that the lack of motivation is the main factor with
a shortage of time coming a not too distant second.
Seems like the ultimate solution would be a fat loss program that
had a lot of support and guidance (rather than an ebook) and used
shorter workouts conducted preferably from home, right?
(If you want an IMMEDIATE dose of great motivation then check out www.themagichundred.com and you'll have the most amazing 100 days of your life)
That's why I'm uploading a bunch of new workout videos that'll give
you shorter, more intense fat burning workouts that can be
completed from home with little or no equipment.
In fact, I've already got one up at my blog at www.dailydoseofdax.blogspot.com
for you.
Ever done a kettlebell workout?
No??
Then check out my sinister 6 workout, one of my favourite short, yet highly effective fat loss workouts that I use with my clients to get them into great shape fast.
It's simple to perform, very straightforward...
What do you think of that then? : )
Give my sinister 6 workout a whirl and tell me how you found it.
Don't have a kettlebell? Then use a dumbell instead :)
Speak soon!
Dax Moy
www.daxmoy-pts.co.uk
Oh, and don't forget to tell me where you're at with your diet challenge... we're at day 19 already and, to be honest, I'm finding it really easy this time around.
How about you?

Elimination Diet Challenge Day 16
Yesterday I told you about some of the short and effective workouts that people are using to lose fat and get in shape fast. Well, here's yet another short, sharp yet highly effective workout to compliment your elimination diet journey.
This time, I'm introducing a good friend of mine, Vince Delmonte who's programs over at http://www.mysixpackcoach.com/ are selling like hotcakes right now.
Vince's programs are all about rapid fatloss and the building a fabulous sixpack and are genuinely great workouts in their own right.
Better yet, in keeping with my own beliefs about short, sharp impactful workouts, Vince has created his own variation of the 4 minute workout and it's well worth giving it a try. It may be short but it'll give you a great workout!
Give this one a go...
If you like Vince's system of training then check out www.mysixpackcoach.com where I've persuaded him to offer my readers a trial-run of his workouts and nutrition plan.
Both work well with the Elimination Diet and, with just a few nutritional modifications you'll be getting amazing results fast.
Go check it out!

Seeya tomorrow!

Elimination Diet Challenge Day 15
Well, here we are, day 15 and the start of week three of the elimination diet challenge.
I didn't post over the weekend as I've had feedback from people that they rarely read their mails at weekends and that it was a bit overwhelming to come into work on Monday to a hundred or more emails (you should see MY mailbox on monday.... HUNDREDS!) : )
Anyway, the good news is that I'm still getting reports of amazing results from those who've stuck it out this far with most people in the region of 8-12lbs weight loss already. Bearing in mind that we've only 2 weeks under our belts, this is pretty amazing, right?
And, by all accounts, the detox nasties are well and truly over and the impact upon energy, mental clarity and overall feelings of healthiness is massive.
This is all great news and heralds the start of the REALLY great phase of the program.
In these next two weeks you can expect to see even greater impact in fat loss, excess fluid loss and increase in muscle definition. In addition your energy will continue to rise and your hair, skin, teeth and nails will look and feel better than they have been in ages.
Not only that but you may find that if you're on meds of any kind that they're working better than ever and, in many instances, you may need to talk to your doc about reassessing the dose.
(NOTE: DO NOT tamper with your meds, change doses or stop them without first consulting your doctor, I'm just telling you what many of my readers have told me. I'm not ADVISING you to change your meds)
So things will definitely be on the up for you.
So now's the time to really start thinking SERIOUSLY about your fitness programming.
I know, I know, you don't want to be spending ages training and you don't want to join a gym but there are lots of ways to get a little fitness work into your life without it taking over.
And you should!
After all, you want GREAT results, not just 'good' ones right?
Well, here's a few brief workouts I recommend. They can all be done in 30 minutes or less and won't cost the Earth either.
1. Turbulence Training by my good friend Craig Ballantyne is a fantastic fat loss system that is designed around shorter, more intense (though not outrageous) workouts that create an ongoing calorie burn even after the session is over.
The training produces some of the best results I've seen from anyone within the fitness and fatloss market.
2. 7 Minute Muscle by Jon Benson is an amazing little system I've just learned about recently and, although sceptical at first, have found it to provide an amazing workout in just 7 minutes.
I know 7 minutes doesn't sound long enough but the truth is, when you're doing these muscle shaping workouts, it's more than enough. Better for those who are working more on shaping and strengthening their muscles than for fat loss.
3. My own Look Great Naked Challenge HAS to be included here, although it's much more than a workout ebook. It's an entire online workout program with training sessions, videos, audios, printouts and 90 days worth of bossy emails from me : )
I've had hundreds of people go through the program now and they all love it due to its no nonsense approach, short workout sessions and the clarity of the instructions on how to get the best results.
It's the next best thing to actually having me working with you.
The thing is, you can choose these workouts or you can choose something else altogether, it's up to you.
But the real message is start, and start today.
Put some exercise into your life for at least the next 2 weeks and you'll see some amazing results, I guarantee it.
Til tomorrow!

P.S - I've just had a new website built for the Elimination Diet over at www.eliminationdietblueprint.com . The rest of the site isn't finished yet but you can still tell others about it.
In fact, I'm hoping you will.
Y'see, I want to TRIPLE the number of people going through the diet by the end of the year and so I'm hoping you might help me.
Can you tell 3 other people about your experience on the diet so far?
I'd love it if you could!
Just send them to www.eliminationdietblueprint.com so that they can get their own FREE copy of the diet and get the same kind of results that you are.
I didn't post over the weekend as I've had feedback from people that they rarely read their mails at weekends and that it was a bit overwhelming to come into work on Monday to a hundred or more emails (you should see MY mailbox on monday.... HUNDREDS!) : )
Anyway, the good news is that I'm still getting reports of amazing results from those who've stuck it out this far with most people in the region of 8-12lbs weight loss already. Bearing in mind that we've only 2 weeks under our belts, this is pretty amazing, right?
And, by all accounts, the detox nasties are well and truly over and the impact upon energy, mental clarity and overall feelings of healthiness is massive.
This is all great news and heralds the start of the REALLY great phase of the program.
In these next two weeks you can expect to see even greater impact in fat loss, excess fluid loss and increase in muscle definition. In addition your energy will continue to rise and your hair, skin, teeth and nails will look and feel better than they have been in ages.

Elimination Diet Challenge Day 11 - Early Success Stories!
Well, I asked for it and I got it!
Some amazing feedback about how the Elimination Diet is impacting on my readers... all 30,000 of you.
Thankfully, I only received about 60 emails and not 30,000 but hey, where are the rest of you guys?
I know you're out there! : )
I want to hear from you ok?
Look at this!
"Hi Dax~
THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing this FANTASTIC opportunity
to make some much-needed lifestyle changes!!
Due to awareness that comes after the diagnosis of serious illness,
I have been living what I thought was a pretty healthy lifestyle.
Your program has been quite an eye opener as to just how lazy
I've gotten with some of my choices over the last few years.
The first 4-5 days were really tough... Giving up my morning
ritual cup of coffee, my nightly glass of wine . The cravings
were strong, the 2 day migraine miserable and the constant
search for a little "comfort food" proved a challenge.
And then....OH MY GOSH... like MAGIC,no more cravings,
no bloat, sluggishness, foggy head and lack of energy.
I feel FANTASTIC, ENERGIZED, MOTIVATED, INSPIRED, ENTHUSED,
LIGHTER, RADIANT and so PROUD to be honoring my body again!!!
Even though I've only lost 3 lbs,,(maybe menopause and the fact
that I don't have a thyroid contribute) I am inspired and excited
to continue, knowing that I'm going to feel better every day!!!
I have reclaimed my life!!!!!
Thank You again for your inspiration!"
Claire Hockett
Scottsdale, Az USA
Isn't that amazing?
Sounds like a complete health turnaround and we're only 11 days in...
What about this?
"I've been battling my way down from 20st since Xmas - I hit a wall at 16st - 16 4 to be precise - 10 days on elimination with exercise to match and I'm through 16 and into the 15's - this works!!!"
Dave B
And this?
"Dax - I have lost 4 pounds as of this morning,
after being on a weight loss plateau for about a year.
I originally lost 20 pounds last year, then saw a couple
creep back to stay. I don't measure inches but I know
clothes are starting to fit looser and a friend I hadn't
seen in a month asked if I had lost weight.
Four pounds may not sound like a lot, but I am an
athletic person with fairly low body fat to start.
My ideal weight would be 138 and 17% bf.
(not to say I wouldn't love 130!)
Losing these last 10 pounds would mean improving my
running times and getting rid of the last bit of flab
around my waist, arms and butt. It would also mean a
happier me. I am 48 years old and determined to prove
to all the people who told me "once you're forty, it's
all downhill. Your metabolism slows, etc etc."
I tried doing this diet last June, but ignored the part
that said "all or nothing" and allowed myself wine or
beer on the weekend, which led to other cheats, which
led to failure.
This time I am determined to follow this through and
possibly stick with it longer, until I reach that magic
number on the scale. Oh and I love your workouts, they
are very similar to the circuit training I've been doing,
and more variety is always good. Thanks for doing this. "
Char
Or This?
"I am working on those last stubborn 10 pounds
and I am aiming at losing 4 inches on my waist.
I have been exercising regularly for the past 10
months, but needed to clean up my nutrition and
decided this was the diet to try.
I am happy to say that I have knocked off 3
pounds and have lost an inch around the waist,
an inch on the bust and an inch around the hips.
And this is only Day 10.
I have found this elimination diet a challenge,
but very rewarding. The first 4 days were the
toughest and my husband was ready to tell me
to quit because I was so grouchy. But by about
Day 5, I was feeling better and started to
really notice a "clean feeling" inside. I still
have days where I really crave sugar
(my weakness), but my body is already telling me
I will feel miserable if I give in to temptation.
Thanks, Dax, for your motivation!"
Rhonda Joan
And last but not least...
"Dax
I followed this program religiously for 90 days
and lost 30 pounds,I relaxed a tiny bit and now
after 90 days later I still had not gained any
weight.
I want to continue to lose more so I decided
to be more focused and once again I am completely
on board with the program. 100% ED lifestyle.
In the past 10 days without excercise I have
lost another 4 pounds.
This program works.
It's not easy but well worth the effort."
Margot Faircloth
Not bad is it?
It works and it works well.
So commit to it, give it your all and complete
the 30 days.
You won't be sorry!

Elimination Diet Challenge Day 10
Well, 10 days have passed and, unless you're doing something wrong (like cheating) you should be seeing and feeling at least a few results from the program by now.
I've been getting emails from people everyday telling me about the results people are getting and, well, some of them are simply amazing!
6lbs, 8lbs, 10lbs and even 12lbs in the last 10 days. Supposedly impossible when you speak to the mainstream fitness industry and the medical community about what's possible and yet, well, it's happening.
In fact, that's what I wanted to talk about today.
I wanted to ask you if you'd want to be featured in the posts I'll be making in the next few days.
Now, you don't have to have full on photos and measurements if you want to (though that would be great) but even if you'd take a minute or 2 to write in about the results you've achieved so far I'd really appreciate it.
Why?
Well, for a very simple reason actually.
People want to know!
They want to know what to expect, they want to know that the elimination diet works and, most of all, they want to know that this is real and not just a figment of Dax Moy's marketing imagination.
By posting in you'd be a source of motivation and inspiration for over 30,000 people who currently receive my elimination diet newsletter and a reminder about what is possible and probable when you commit.
Think about it, there's nothing like hearing of success to make you feel more motivated right?
So, c'mon, leave me a message below. Tell me what you've accomplished so far... and be specific : )
Speak soon!
Dax Moy
www.daxmoy.com
www.themagichundred.com
P.S - I've been asked about food ideas and resources I trust for the elimination diet.
Well, as well as my own cookbook that you'll find at www.daxmoy-pts.co.uk/eliminationcookbook.asp I also recommend Rosa Coelho's Excellent 101 Healthy Recipe's For The Office as it fills in some of the blanks about how to fit the diet into worklife. You can read more about it HERE

146 Reasons Why You Can't Have Sugar On Elimination
I got a couple of emails yesterday asking me why sugar is banned n the elimination diet "after all" my questioners asked "a little of what you fancy can'yt be that bad... can it?"

Elimination Diet Challenge Day 8
Well, we're officially into week two and, despite the fact that a relatively small number of people are actually stepping up and posting into the comments section of the blog, I'm receiving literally hundreds of mails a day to tell me that people are doing really well.
In fact, I myself have dropped 4kg in the last week. That's nearly 9lbs (I must've gotten pretty toxic over the summer, huh?)
It's great to know that so many of you are achieving so much.
So look, here's another bunch of 'tweaks' for you all so that you can get even faster results.
1. Keep the fluids high - yes, I know this isn't new, but it's the hardest habit most people try to build and the one that's invariably the first to be forgotten. Drink 1ltr for every 50lbs of bodyweight.
2. Consume high quality DHEA Omega 3 fish oils - Fish oils speed up your metabolism and ability to burn fat. Taking a high dose fish oil supplement daily will make a REAL difference.
3. Consume slightly more protein than you normally would - you don't have to become a protein nut but try to eat more than you're used to. Just 1 or 2 eggs a day, a bit of extra meat, more pulese and nuts if you're vegetarian. Just get more and you'll feel a big difference.
4. Eat more greens - Green cruciferous veggies like Broccoli, Kale, Cabbage, Turnip etc They contain huge quantities of antioxidants that will really speed up the detox and get you faster results.
5. Eat some spicy food - Get a few spicy meals such as chili, curry etc into your weekly diet. The spices speed up metabolism like crazy and also assist with detoxification... and taste great!
There you have it. 5 more detox and elimination diet speed up tips.
Apply them today!

Elimination Diet Day 7
Well, we've got a week under our belts already!
Congrats everyone.
By now your main detox effects should be pretty much gone (though I've had this throat infection in place of the detox nasties) and you should be starting to feel the effects of being 'clean' inside.
But we're not there yet!
Don't relax, don't let up and don't even think about cheating. If you do then most of the detox effect will be ruined. It's only now that you'll START to get the great results of the diet. This is the beginning.
Adding a little exercise daily will really help at this stage so I recommend you do at least a little every day. You can use the vids below for now but also add any other exercise that you feel will be beneficial.
You could also look at my Look Great Naked Challenge where you'll find a fully supported exercise and nutrition program that works beautifully with the Elimination diet.
Of course, you don't have to follow that, it's just a suggestion : )
You can also check out Jon Benson's '7 MINUTE MUSCLE' program that burns fat fast whilst helping you to sculpt lean muscle. It's pretty cool and, as the name suggests, works around training sessions that are only 7 minutes long. Pretty neat.
Whatever you do though, add some exercise to your day now if you can, you'll be delighted at the combined result of exercise and the elimination diet together : )
Speak tomorrow!

Elimination Diet Day 6
Well, day six has been and gone for me and, despite suffering a man cold from hell with blocked nose, throat infection and a banging head, I've stayed on track and avoided the temptation to comfort eat my way through the day.
(Hey, I'm human y'know, I often feel the need for the same treats as you, especially when I'm feeling under the weather!)
I decided to keep my energy reserves high today by not training but the food side of things went well.
Still, I'm over 5lb lighter than I was on Monday, even though weight loss is not my primary aim. I'm more concerned with cleaning myself up inside.
Anyway, my meals:
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, peppers, onions and tomatoes
Lunch: Hummus, crudite and wheat/gluten free bread (might as well have eaten the packaging it came in. Was awful, wouldn't recommend it)
Dinner: Mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and pork cutlet
Evening: Oatmeal, banana and dollop of natural yoghurt.
Not bad!
Could have done with more protein but still ok : )
How are you doing?
Still on track?
Let me know by filling in a comment below ok?
Dax
P.S - If you're running low on meal ideas, try my elimination diet cookbook. It's got nearly 200 diet compatible recipes and more being added all the time.
P.P.S - Don't forget to keep that water intake up if you want to get the best results.

Elimination Diet Challenge - DAY 5
Well, we're approaching the end of week one already and, if you're anything like me, you're already getting into the swing of things with the Elimination Diet.
I don't know about you but my ED headaches have stopped already, though I've still got a few cold-like symptoms, sniffles and a sore throat.
Of course, I could just have a cold : )
Training's been a bit hit and miss for me this week (I'm ashamed to admit) as I've been catching up on my jetlag from my U.S trip as well as handling some pretty large projects that I'm working on with the re-release of The MAGIC Hundred, The launch of several new websites (I'll tell you about them later), and the promotion of a seminar I'm delivering next month with my good friend Craig Ballantyne.
Anyway, that's my excuse : )
However, tomorrow everything changes.
I'm beginning my new program and will be posting my results here in the blog to hold myself accountable.
You might want to do the same...
In the meantime, try this....
...and don't forget to leave me a message in the comment section to tell me how you get on.

It's day 4 of The Elimination Diet Challenge!
How are you doing?
I'm hearing lots of great stuff via the blog and still TONS of
emails every day telling me about seeing results already : )
So I thought, 'hey, let's have a day 4 check in'. I want to know

ourselves a boost right now, huh?
(Yep, I think so too!) : )
So post me your update below in the comments area.

Elimination Diet Day Three: The Workout You MUST Avoid!
Well, day three is pretty much done for me now. Just dinner to go and I'm free and clear : )
Now, as for the exercise programs I rate.
Easy day nutritionally:
Breakfast - Scrambled free range eggs and bacon
Lunch - Mixed salad (concoction of rare roast beef, chicken, tuna, shrimp and salad - protein feast!)
Dinner tonight: Chicken, baby new potatoes, broccoli
Snacks: Boiled eggs
Easy!
Now, I've had a bunch of emails regarding exercise so I thought I'd address that today by telling you about some of the systems I regard as beneficial at speeding up results.
(No, they're not all mine!)
Before I do though, let me tell you what you SHOULDN'T rely on for your fitness and fatloss goals...
Now, as for the exercise programs I rate.
First off, my own : )
www.lookgreatnakedchallenge.com - This is a full 90 day fat loss and fitness blueprint that tells you EXACTLY what to do every single day through videos, audios, printouts and even a daily email to keep you on track.
My average participant loses around 25-30lbs on the program with many losing much more!
Next: Turbulence training! from body transformation expert Craig Ballantyne - This is an excellent fatloss training system that has been used with great success by thousands of people over the last few years
Finally (and not least) a relative newcomer to the table Warp Speed Fatloss from Super Trainer Alwyn Cosgrove, world reknown fatloss expert with more fat loss success stories than practically anyone else around.
They're ALL great programs, all work EXTREMELY well (or I simply would not even mention them) and they all fit nicely with the elimination diet with a few minor tweaks that are easy to apply
Check them all out and see what you think or, if you prefer, simply continue with your own program.
The thing is, the elimination diet will work regardless of the exercise program you participate in, but, of course, if the program's a good'n....
Speak tomorrow!

P.S - Don't forget to leave me a message to tell me how things are going for you. This IS important!

Elimination Diet Day 2!
Oh, and by the way, you can reheat your cold foods via either pan top steaming or... rubbing sticks together : )
Seriously, the 'packed lunch' aspect of the elimination is a bit tough and there's no simple answer.
Most people use a thermos or pan top steaming, but many workplaces don't have that kind of facility.
Let me ask you guys; how do YOU get around this?
Speak soon!
Dax
P.S - Don't forget to leave me a message here to let me know how you're doing ok?
I want to see who's still playing? : )
P.P.S - 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 elimination diet blog and chronicle your own journey.
You can link it to me : )

Day 1 of Elimination Diet Challenge
Well, day one's almost over for me!
I flew back in from the U.S last night and pretty much crashed out right away and then was up for work at 6am.
After a cup of peppermint tea, a little oatmeal and an egg (boiled) it was off to work at my Islington personal training studios.
The jet lag kicked in a bit this morning and yes, there was a temptation to excuse myself for 'just 1' cup of coffee but after all of 3 seconds, I let it go and got myself a cup of morrocan mint herbal instead.
I didn't really eat too much today as I wasn't hungry. Must be the mixed up body clock from flying, but this evening I had steamed rice and stirfried curried vegetables. Filling and lovely... and completely on elimination diet rules.
No sign of detox headache yet, but I'm sure it's coming as I certainly 'toxed' this weekend at the conference with lots of alcohol (yes, shame on me!) and bread and other bad stuff.
But I'm in the game now, just like you all are.
I'm going to go get some training in now to speed up the detox factor and, of course, keep fit, but before I do, let me give you a few pointers on how to speed up the process and minimise the detox nasties that are on their way to you right now : )
1. Stick to the rules 100%, no compromise - Even little slip ups prevent your body from clearing through. Don't do it. It's just 30 days!
2. Drink at least 1 litre of water for every 50lbs of bodyweight - Yes, it sounds a lot but that's just because you're not used to it. Start drinking more and even adding a tiny pinch of salt to it and you'll speed up the detox and drop pounds fast.
3. Try to have a hot bath every day for 3 days - The skin is the largest detox organ in th body and sweat is the way many toxins escape. Get in the bath, get hot and... sweat. You'll be surprised at how great you feel after this!
4. Exercise - Yep, sweating comes with exercise too, but more important than that is that you speed up ALL metabolic processes... and build some fitness and muscle!
5. Take lemon water - Boiled water and lemon juice (just cut 1/2 a lemon and squeeze it in) and you've got the benefit of additional aid to your liver. Not bad!
Do those 5 things and your detox blues will be shortened quite dramatically!
Now, before I sign off, let me ask you, all of you who're serious that is, to drop me line here on the blog (comments section below) and tell me about your day, what you've done, what you're eating and how you feel.
It may not seem important but I guarantee, the accountability and support will really help you in the days ahead.
Speak soon!

But I'm in the game now, just like you all are.
I'm going to go get some training in now to speed up the detox factor and, of course, keep fit, but before I do, let me give you a few pointers on how to speed up the process and minimise the detox nasties that are on their way to you right now : )
1. Stick to the rules 100%, no compromise - Even little slip ups prevent your body from clearing through. Don't do it. It's just 30 days!
2. Drink at least 1 litre of water for every 50lbs of bodyweight - Yes, it sounds a lot but that's just because you're not used to it. Start drinking more and even adding a tiny pinch of salt to it and you'll speed up the detox and drop pounds fast.
3. Try to have a hot bath every day for 3 days - The skin is the largest detox organ in th body and sweat is the way many toxins escape. Get in the bath, get hot and... sweat. You'll be surprised at how great you feel after this!
4. Exercise - Yep, sweating comes with exercise too, but more important than that is that you speed up ALL metabolic processes... and build some fitness and muscle!
5. Take lemon water - Boiled water and lemon juice (just cut 1/2 a lemon and squeeze it in) and you've got the benefit of additional aid to your liver. Not bad!
Do those 5 things and your detox blues will be shortened quite dramatically!
Now, before I sign off, let me ask you, all of you who're serious that is, to drop me line here on the blog (comments section below) and tell me about your day, what you've done, what you're eating and how you feel.
It may not seem important but I guarantee, the accountability and support will really help you in the days ahead.
Speak soon!
