Most people are completely confused when the word diet or nutrition is used. Your body needs to have nutrients replaced, whether through foods being eaten or supplementation. Do you remember what you learned in elementary school about the four major food groups?
About the fact that food is a fuel?
As an adult, eating balanced healthy meals from these four food groups still applies. It is extremely important to remove the “junk food” from your meal plan and stick with healthy balanced foods. If you do not like certain things such as fruits and vegetables, be sure you are taking a supplement to get the nutrients you definitely need.
With that said, by far the most important thing to consider in a meal plan is how long you can realistically stick to it. If you can’t stick to it 90% of the time…it is not worth it.
There are diets that work and diets that don’t.
Choose wisely. Eat well. Win.

I grew up in a generation of “you don’t leave the table until you finish what’s on your plate”.
Some how that has become – if my kid isn’t going to finish that snack than I will because we just can’t waste food. Cheezits, Doritos, popcorn, Ruffles and even the good snacks like fruit and veggies add up. A handful here and a handleful there. It’s more than you think and it will not only sabotage your efforts to lose weight but will make you gain unwanted poundage as well.
Now we haven’t even talked about ‘real meals’.
How many of you are finishing off those last bits of dinner for the little one? Again…it adds up.
Tupperware, Ziplock bags or the trash!
Don’t ruin your efforts to lose weight as certainly don’t set an example for your kids that they can’t put food away for later.
Leftovers are a terrific way to implement eating smaller more frequent meals throughout the day.
Go snack free for two weeks and see what happens!
Be snackless. Lose weight. Win.

I was doing a little grocery shopping the other day when I got the
idea for Bathing Suit Season Strategy #13.
When I was in the checkout lane I noticed all candy bars and sugary
snacks to my right. It always gets me to chuckle.
They know exactly where to put the “impulse” items. It might not be
a large transaction, but when you get enough people day after day
to add a 75 cent candy bar to their total, well, that’s big bucks.
And when you consider all these little “impulse” buys you may have
made over the course of the years…
I’m not talking about the money.
I’m talking about the calories from fat and sugar you have consumed
just from adding a little 75 cent purchase to your grocery bill.
But now you’re aware of it. Don’t let “them” prey on your impulses.
That’s why you need a plan.
My Carb Rotation Diet program gives you that
plan. AND it helps you drop up to 15 lbs in just 30 days.
Why not spend the money you used to spend on candy bars and chips
on something that will help you look better naked for a lifetime?
I know you can do it!
Yours in health
Jayson Hunter RD, CSCS

PS – It works for people just like YOU.
The Carb Rotation Diet has been designed to fit into any
womenÌs lifestyle. The Diet is very simple to follow and has taught
me the steps I needed so that I never have to diet again! The Carb
Rotation Diet changes the way your body looks as well as your
lifestyle! The best part is that it is so simple to follow.

It’s the tail end of the week so I’m going to make today’s strategy super quick.
Stay Conscious.
Have you ever found yourself mindlessly eating an entire bag of
potato chips just because they were sitting in front of you?
Have you ever nibbled on a few things while preparing a meal?
Have you ever eaten everything on your plate even though you
weren’t hungry anymore?
All of these calories count. And they all add up.
Stay conscious of what you are putting into your mouth at all
times. Simple, but VERY powerful!
I know you can do it!
Yours in health
Jayson Hunter RD, CSCS
Carb Rotation Diet
PS – Will the Carb Rotation Diet help YOU? This
doctor thinks so.
“Jayson, you’ve done it! “The Carb Rotation Diet”
tells all. It’s too often that people make the mistake of extreme
dieting to get temporary results and cause undue stress to their
hearts and other vital organs. This nutrition plan is safe,
results-driven, and easy-to-use. If you’re serious about getting
rid of your gut and ripping up your abs, once and for all, you
have to read this e-book. And that goes without mention of your
incredible bonuses. This e-book should be a resource for every
women out there.”

One day during her personal training session a client aked me, “Why
aren’t I getting better results? I’m working out hard, but I don’t
seem to be losing any weight.”
“How many glasses of wine did you have at that cocktail party
Saturday night?”, I responded.
She moaned back, “Oh, no, but I can’t give up my wine!”
I have no idea if YOU enjoy a couple of cocktails, beer or wine.
And I’m certainly not judging you.
But I can tell you that if you want your body to “sacrifice” those
extra pounds you’re going to need to sacrifice some things, too.
As always, I’m not here to tell you what you want to hear. I’m here
to tell you the truth. And consuming too much alcohol is not only a
great way to PACK on the pounds, but it also prevents you from
dropping them, too.
It’s simple, if you want to look great in a bathing suit you’re
going to have to severely limit your alcohol intake.
But remember, when your lean and sexy you not only look great, you
FEEL great.
I know you can do it!
Yours in health

You’ve got a craving.
You’re desperate for something loaded with fat and sugar and
calories.
Sure the stuff tastes good, but you don’t understand why you find
the urge almost irresistible.
Off to the vending machine you go to get a candy bar. Maybe even a
couple of them.
Not good. Not good at all.
That’s why Bathing Suit Season Strategy #10 is BE PREPARED.
You know the times of day you get cravings. So make sure you have
some healthy stuff around to eat.
1. Nuts are good for you again. Almonds contain healthy omega
fats and are a great snack to fill you up. They provide a good
source of protein as well. A handful should satisfy you.
2. Yogurt is another great snack to have on hand. It is low
calorie and also provides a good source of protein.
I know you can do it!
Yours in health

Wow Jayson really nails it with this one! Thanks again Jayson for sharing!
Dave
PS. You can get a copy of Jayson’s 100 Calorie Snack Guide when you visit my site!. Now on to Strategy #9!
——————————————-
Be careful of the 100 calorie snack packs!!!!
That’s right you need to be careful with this new food fad.
I am talking about all these 100 calorie snack packs that are on
the shelves now.
Sure they are great because they are only 100 calories. Let me
pick this thought apart a little for you. I am using the 100
calorie OREO candy bites as an example. There are 12 small candy
pieces per bag. They are small enough that you could eat them all
in 2 small handfuls.
Will that satisfy you?
Then the very first ingredient is “white confectionary coating
(sugar, palm kernel and/or palm oil). This means that the largest
ingredient in this product is sugar and oils.
Will that satisfy you?
I can tell you that it will spike your insulin levels, which tells
your body to store these calories as fat as well as trick your body
into thinking it is still hungry because of the insulin spike.
Finally it forces your mind to have a lot of self control and
discipline because after two small handfuls you have to stop so
that you stay at the 100 calories. The alternative which is
usually what happens is that you are going to have another pack or
two.
See how your calories just doubled or even tripled.
Remember the Fat Free Snackwell days?
Everyone thought they were the greatest food in the world because
they were fat free. Yet they wondered why they kept getting
fatter. It was because Snackwells were loaded with sugar.
Instead stick to healthy 100 calorie snacks that are going to
provide fullness instead of emptiness and having you crave more.
I know you can do it!
Yours in health
Jayson Hunter RD, CSCS
Carb Rotation Diet
PS: The Carb Rotation Diet program comes with an
approved 100 calorie snack list bonus. Find out what you should be
eating that will not only limit you to the 100 calories, but more
importantly satisfy you so that you aren’t craving more.

Were you able to behave yourself?
Or did you stuff yourself instead?
Hey, it’s new week, so I know you’re busy. That’s why I’ll keep
today’s message very brief.
Guilt isn’t good for you. It’s not going to help you get ready for
Bathing Suit Season. Guilt is a form of stress. And stress is NOT
good for your figure.
And the hormones that are correlated with stress actually increase
your appetite for sugary snacks and fatty foods.
So if you’ve got the “guiltys” make sure you forgive yourself and
move on.
Here is your remedy:
Get some exercise. Take a walk after lunch. Clear your head.
You can also pick up a copy of my Carb Rotation Diet program
and really jump start your fat loss this week.
NOW is the time to start living the Triple-E Formula:
Eat right, exercise, educate yourself.
I know you can do it.
Yours in health,
Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS

As I’ve been stressing this week, Bathing Suit Season will be here before you know it. You’re going to look at your calendar some Tuesday in June and you’re going to freak out because it’s almost time to dust off the old swimwear. You’re going to wonder what happened. You’re going to wonder where the time went. You’re going to beat yourself up because this was the year things were supposed to be different. You know what I’m talking about. And unless you get your butt in gear the same thing is going to happen this summer that happened last year.
So let’s get going Ladies! (and you male slackers too!), I know you can look awesome in your bathing suit. And I know if you follow all these Bathing Suit Season strategies you’re going to succeed.
Today I want to talk to you about jumpstarting your success. I know from experience that you want to see INSTANT results. And I don’t blame you. I think seeing the pounds melt off your body quickly is a great way to pump you up and get you excited about looking better naked.
But there’s a danger to it. And that leads to Bathing Suit Strategy #6. Keep your eye on the LONG-TERM prize. I do NOT want you to think the Carb Rotation Diet is just some sort of Quick Fix. I do NOT want you to continue your Yo-Yo cycle of shedding pounds and then putting them back on again.
You see, my Carb Rotation Diet is scientifically designed to trigger your body to shed up to 15 lbs in only 30 days. But the progress will be sure and steady from there. You will NOT continue to see extraordinary results like this. Fat WILL continue to melt off your body at an accelerated pace. You’re going to look better and better each week. But do NOT let some unscrupulous marketer promise you miracles. So be sure to expect LONG-TERM success. Expect to make some permanent changes in your life so that year in and year out you are ready for Bathing Suit Season.
Isn’t that what you really want? Don’t you want to know the truth about having a body that ALWAYS looks great naked? But again, when you drop a quick 15 I promise you you’re going to take that success and keep running with it. Keep your eye on the prize and think LONG-TERM.
I know you can do it.
Yours in health,
Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS

PS- Just think how great you’re going to look in just 30 days when you put the full power of the Carb Rotation Diet to good use.

Whether you’re following the Dress Size Reduction Diet or some other rock-solid plan guaranteed to help you look better naked you need to be VERY aware of Bathing Suit Season Strategy #5.
PROTECT your mind.
As we’ve already talked about, there are plenty of unscrupulous food companies and marketers promoting miracle solutions, magic pills and potions just waiting to get a hold of you. Yes, they are, in fact, out to get you. Well, not you, but your hard-earned cashola. They know most people are easy prey. They know you’d much rather be sold a dream than the truth. They know if they reach when you’re vulnerable they’ll be able to pry a bunch of bills from your wallet.
There is always going to be some part of you that would love to find an easier way. Who wouldn’t love to sit on a couch eating their favorite fried food day-after-day and wake up one morning with a gorgeous bikini body? And as I’ve told you before: I’m not going to be the one to lie to you. I’m not going to tell you the things you want to hear. I’m only going to tell you the truth.
And the truth as it pertains to Bathing Suit Season Strategy #5 is this: You need to be ever vigilant of the people and companies pushing quick-fix solutions. You need to stay FOCUSED on your plan. When you stay on target with the Dress Size Reduction Diet you are guaranteed to see incredible results delivered in a healthy way.
Don’t let “them” trick you into thinking a box of cookies injected with Omega-3’s is going to help you look great in a little black dress. Don’t let “them” fool you into believing a magic pill is going to make your love handles disappear for good. Don’t let “them” swindle you into buying another ab contraption that you think is going to produce a beach ready body in just 60 seconds a day.
Protect your mind.
The Carb Rotation Diet is designed to help you melt up to 15 pounds in 30 days. But the entire program is based on science. Not hype. And yes, there will be some effort on your part. Oh, and the emphasis of the program is on helping you MAINTAIN the healthy lifestyle changes you need to make to KEEP the pounds off – forever.
Don’t let “them” lie to you anymore. Arm yourself with the truth. Protect your mind. Create a plan and stick to it.
I know you can do it.
Yours in health,
Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS
Carb Rotation Diet
PS – Again, Don’t let “them” lie to you anymore. Arm yourself with the truth. Protect your mind. Create a plan and stick to it.
“Having worked in a nutrition oriented healthcare clinic for the past seven years, I found the Dramatic Dress Size Reduction Diet to be well written, and a valuable resource for anyone striving to lose weight by embracing a healthy lifestyle. I found the resource guides to be especially helpful. No fad diets or unfounded claims. Just straight forward information that the reader can utilize from day one to lose weight and keep it off.”

Yesterday we started to talk about exercise and it’s critical role in helping you look better naked. We briefly discussed how very important it is and why you should focus on the incredible benefits of fitness. Remember, what you focus on grows. So instead of dreading exercise you need to look forward to the amazing results it will produce!
Today I want to tell you about the type of exercise you should be performing. There is simply no better exercise modality for fat loss than strength training. NONE. If you want to blast fat fast, if you really want to create a supercharged metabolism that melts fat ’round the clock then you simply MUST be performing the correct type of strength training.
Now ladies, my guess is you’ve been told this many times before. And I assure you, as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Fitness Professional with over ten years of experience…as an expert who has literally worked with hundreds and hundreds of women exactly like YOU…you are NOT going to get big and bulky. 99.9% of all women DO NOT have the hormones necessary to create unattractive amounts of muscle. I am fully aware you want to look trim and tone. And the correct method of strength training is exactly the recipe to looking great in both your bathing suit AND your little black dress.
With the Dress Size Reduction Diet program comes an amazing “30 Day Lose A Dress Size Training Plan” created by world-renowned women’s fitness expert, Rachel Cosgrove. It’s a complete blueprint that works hand-in-hand with my nutrition program to help you drop up to 15 lbs. in just 30 days. It’s a very unique training regimen that most women have never seen before. It goes way beyond the bland routines I see most women performing at the gym.
In fact, most women things do some sort of cardio for 45 minutes to an hour and then pick a couple of light dumbbells for a couple of minutes afterwards. And most women are stunned when they fail to see results by doing the same thing day in and day out. But it’s not necessarily their fault because they’ve simply been given the wrong information. If this is you, well, you’re going to be blown away when you see the transformation of your body when you use Rachel’s easy-to-follow program.
The Carb Rotation Diet program comes 100% guaranteed to work for YOU. I know if you commit to the plan you won’t be able to resist sending me your before and after pictures because you’ll be so proud of your new body. If you want to look great this Bathing Suit Season then don’t waste another minute. Get on the road to looking better naked TODAY.
I know you can do it.
Yours in health,
Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS
Carb Rotation Diet
PS – Yes, it’s doctor approved.
“Jayson Hunter not only walks the walk, but talks the talk, and when he talks, you should listen if you want results. Following his suggestions, tips, and tools laid out so well in his books are a sure fire way to get results quickly and effectively. The only people who shouldn’t get these books are those are can look at themselves in the mirror and say with 100% confidence, I am happy with what I see and happier with how I feel”

Yesterday I wrote about having a BURNING DESIRE and a clear mental image of how you want your body to look this Bathing Suit Season.
Today here are some fat-fighting tips to get you started on the success fast-track.
1)Limit portion sizes: One very simple tip is to use a smaller plate to put your food on. We have this psychological issue that we have to fill the plate when we eat. Studies have been conducted where they took two groups and gave them their favorite ice cream to eat. One group had a small bowl and the other group had a large bowl. Their objective was to eat until they were satisfied. The group with the larger bowl not only dished themselves larger portions per bowl, but they also ate more ice cream than the small bowl group.
2) Keep a food journal: Studies have shown that most people underestimate their calories by as much as 25% so if you are serious about losing weight make sure you record what you eat to know how much you are actually eating. I actually just received an email yesterday from someone that thought they were eating the right amount of calories until they kept a food journal and realized they weren’t even close to the calories they were supposed to be eating.
3) Do NOT skip meals. Especially not breakfast. I’ll be writing more about this in the coming weeks, but for now, I CANNOT stress how important breakfast is to a fat-burning metabolism. It sets the tone for the rest of the day.
If you want your body melting fat all day long make sure you eat breakfast. And if you don’t have the time to make something nutritious then I highly recommend a great tasting and convenient Meal Replacement Shake.
If YOU have a burning desire to look great this Bathing Suit Season then the Carb Rotation Diet program is the answer to your prayers. Just imagine how motivated you’ll be when you drop up to 15 lbs. in 30 measly days!
I know you can do it.
Yours in health,
Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS

Here is the first installment of Jayson Hunter’s 13 part series for a beach ready body. Enjoy as this truly is a treat and I want to be the first to thank Jayson for letting us in on his strategies!
-Dave
Bathing Suit Strategy #1
Full-blown beach season will be here before you know it. You might have a June wedding to look great for.Whatever reason you have for wanting to look better naked is fine with me. But what is absolutely critical to your success is a burning desire.A vivid image in your mind of how amazing you are going to look and feel in your new body. That is by far and away Bathing Suit Season Strategy 1.
Now you might be rolling your eyes at just how simplistic and hokey the above sounds. But it’s not. As a registered dietitian with over ten years experience I can tell you that my MOST successful clients all had one thing in common – they wanted it BAD. Real bad. This time was different. This time they had a crystal clear image of what they were going to look like in that bathing suit.
They could literally FEEL it.
Close your eyes right now and imagine. Imagine yourself in your bathing suit looking at yourself in a mirror. But not as you are now. No, as you WANT to be. Imagine looking at that reflection and admiring what you see. Imagine the PRIDE you feel at the accomplishment. Imagine how great it feels to be LEAN.
Imagine how your significant other looks at you. That sexy little smile they let out as they walk by you. Imagine rubbing suntan lotion on your tight arms and legs.
Imagine how flat your stomach is. Imagine how confident you are as you stroll down to the water to cool yourself off.
You START with a clear mental image of what you want and a BURNING DESIRE to achieve it. The second step is to get my
Carb Rotation Diet program and start shedding that fat FAST.I know you can do it. Yours in health,
Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS
Carb Rotation DietPS – It’s working for people EXACTLY like you.
So far, and this is the truth, since I started your diet and exercise program I have dropped from a size 22 to a size 18 and I am hoping to get down to a size 14 for the wedding. I have already given my size 22 clothes to the womens shelter here in town because I never plan to wear them again ever thanks to you. I don’t care about the pounds as much as I do the clothes fitting better.
Before I started they were stretched till the seam threads were showing. Now they fit comfortably and I no longer worry if I am going to pop a seam during a meeting or bending or sitting. I am VERY happy about that. Thanks so much for your encouragement, your interest in helping us, and your concern about how we are doing. I never expected that. I am very pleased I started all of this with you and I am talking others into joining as well.God Bless you Jayson for your caring and concern.
