First Ever DPM Performance Member of the Month

Starting this month I have decided to implement a new reward program to recognise the hard work that so many of you have been putting in for so long.

There will be a new winner each month and each winner will receive a $50 Sanity gift voucher that can be used at any Sanity, HMV or Virgin Megastore.

Just my way of saying thankyou for being part of the DPM Performance way of life.

What do you have to do to be in contention?

Firt of all you must be currently training with me but that is an obvious one right?

I am looking not just for those who are losing body fat, that will help though,but for those who have made a noticeable mindshift which has them on track for success to someone who just turns up week after week, month after month, year after year without missing sessions or making excuses.

So, who's the first winner?

February's winner is Farnaz Farhadi - congrats Farnaz!

Farnaz has been training since 2007 and attends the Botany Boxing sessions on Monday and Wednesday and also the Saturday morning sessions at Observatory Hill.

The reason that Farnaz has won is over the last few months I have noticed a visible shift in Farnaz.

Rather than giving up easily or taking a short cut which may have happened in the past, she has really stepped up a notch and is even the first one to get started and get the job done. There is no complaining about certain hard exercises, she just makes it happen.

Her boxing power has gone through the roof. Now I know not to get her angry! She has a punch on her that I haven't seen before.

Her fitness has also gone through the roof since she first started training.

So congratulations Farnaz, enjoy your gift voucher.

I asked Farnaz a few questions about her training and here is what she had to say.

1) What is your favourite training exercise?

My Favourite has to be Boxing...

2) What is your least favourite training exercise?

when i first started I would have said most exercises but now I really cannot think of anything...I even request some running which is very unusual for me.

3) What motivates you to continue to train month after month, year after year?

Seeing results, and also how much fun it is.

4) What's your best workout tip for someone?

Keep focusing on how good I feel after a session, and I try not to take a very long break (ie a few weeks off), if you are in a routine then it's easier to stick to it.

Thanks Farnaz, great suggestions that everyone can relate to I am sure.

Stay tuned for the March winner. Could it be you?

Now onto rewards.

Do you reward yourself for a good job well done, when you achieve something significant?

I'm getting a massage today which my girlfriend shouted me (thanks Bron!) to enjoy some downtime after a big few months.

It doesn't have to be massage. It could be buying yourself clothes, going to the movies.

Just make sure you take the time and do something for you.

Finally, what on earth is the get out stakes?

Well if you are a keen punter like me, and the Cox Plate is on tomorrow by the way, you will know that the get out stakes is your last chance to get in and make amends.

Today is your last chance for the get out stakes before the price goes up on my Aussie Fatblast Success System.

I will show you exactly how to lose the body fat that you want to shed - safely and efficiently in 20 minutes or less each day.

Don't let fear hold you back

The Food Pyramid Is Wrong For Fat Loss

I am just going to come straight out and say it. I believe the food pyramid as we know it is wrong.

I believe that it is not just slightly wrong, I believe it is way out of wack for what should be considered healthy eating.

As it currently stands, you can find various definitions of how the food pyramid should look just by doing a simple Google search.

Nutrition Australia’s food pyramid shows us that we should be eating mostly vegetables, dried peas, lentils, cereal, bread, fruit and nuts.

We should be eating lean meat, eggs, fish, chicken (without skin), milk, yoghurt and cheese moderately.

Finally in small amounts we should be eating oil, margarine, reduced fat spreads, butter and sugar.

Wow. No wonder why are waist lines are continuously expanding.

That is astounding that a recognised authority organisation can recommend that people should be eating some of this rubbish.

Don’t just think that Nutrition Australia is the only organisation pedalling this line. They were the best of a bad bunch. At least they actually had vegetables, fruits and buts on the bottom of the pyramid. Every other organisation recommends that breads and cereals be on the most consumed list.

You may think I am joking. Unfortunately, I am deadly serious my friend. Pun intended, as that is what people are slowly doing to themselves by following these recommendations every day. You are just digging your way to an early grave.

So, how should the revitalised, Aussie Fatblast inspired food pyramid look?

First of all, the foods that we should be eating the most comprise of vegetables first and foremost, followed by lentils, fruits and nuts.

Next group on the pyramid are the foods that we should be eating moderately. These are made up meat or meat alternatives just like fish, chicken, eggs to name three examples. Limit your red meat intake.

The foods that we should eat sparingly include dairy products like butter, milk and yoghurt and grains like pasta and rice. I would recommend once a day at most for people looking to lose body fat.

No, you do not need dairy to provide you with calcium. That is what the marketing from the nutrition and dairy organisations would like you to believe but you will get enough calcium from canned fish like salmon (eat the bones), nuts, fruits, vegetables (especially leafy greens), and dried beans.

The foods that should be at the top of the pyramid comprise the foods that we should only be eating as part of a cheat meal occasionally. These would include foods that are highly processed such as breads, sweets or fast foods.

Yes, I include breads in this bad group. That is how detrimental it is to achieving your ultimate fat loss results.

Bread is processed. It does not grow in the ground, or on a vine or a tree like vegetables, nuts or fruits do. It is highly processed rubbish that is keeping you from burning your body fat.

I also do not include sugar, breakfast cereals, reduced fat spreads or margarine. These trans fat containing foods are causing your waist line to expand each and every single day.

Sugar does not have trans fat but it is a whole poison on its own. There is enough natural sugar in fruits to sustain you without adding it to every coffee you drink or overdosing on processed, sugar soaked sweets or breakfast cereals.

In wrapping up, it may seem controversial but if you follow the recommendations I have listed here instead of what the recognised nutrition authorities are preaching to you, I am extremely confident that you will be looking sensational and enjoying the body fat that you are shedding at a rate like never before.

Be a pioneer, change your own personal food pyramid and enjoy the increased fat loss results that you will soon be experiencing.
