Part 3 Of The Jimmy Smith Interview
Jimmy Smith: Now you really specialize in fat loss. So what are some of the most common fat loss sins that you see in your clients and how do we avoid them?
Jeremy Reeves: I think probably the BIGGEST sin I see people making is not writing down exactly what they’re eating, at least for a week or 2.
To be honest I’m not sure why I didn’t include this in the book, maybe I’ll add it in there. It didn’t occur to me until a few days ago how incredibly powerful this is.
So when you grab my free report, if you see this section already in there, don’t mind that because I think I’m going to add it in once the interview’s over.
Anyway, here’s what I think you should do.
As soon as you wake up and get dressed in the morning, grab a piece of paper and stick it in your pocket with a pen.
EVERY SINGLE TIME you eat or drink something, write it down. And I mean EVERYTHING. Including tea, coffee, etc.
When you write down what you eat, write it down in detail. For example, if you have milk with your coffee, write that down. If you add even a tiny scoop of butter to your vegetables, write it down.
Trust me, it adds up QUICK.
At the end of the day, go to fitday.com and register for a free account, add in everything you ate, and just guesstimate on the little things like an ounce of milk for coffee, a small dollop of butter, etc. – but base those guesses on a serving of that food , not just a random guess.
I absolutely guarantee you…if you do this you’ll see how easy the calories add up. Then just take out those little stupid things you don’t really need to eat anyway (the dollop of butter, the small handfuls of snacks 2-3x per day, etc.) and the sugary drinks, and you’ll lose weight.
Another big sin I see people doing is taking their diet too seriously.
Unless you’re trying out for a fitness competition, it’s NOT necessary to eat perfectly for every single meal, everyday. I know people who literally get anxious if they miss one of their 6 meals and get all wacky over it.
I mean yea, most of the time you should be strict if you’re serious about losing weight, but allow yourself to have a cheat snack/meal or 2.
Let me give you an example of this.
On the superbowl this year I went to a party where they had all kinds of different food including stromboli, pizza, desserts, chips, etc.
What I did was I got myself a piece of pizza, a few small meatballs, a really small serving of homemade boneless chicken bites, and a big serving of shrimp (notice how I took a lot of shrimp and only a little of the other stuff).
When I was done with that, I tried 2 of the desserts (they were cut into like 1-inch squares), then I absolutely devoured the vegetable plate. I literally ate like ½ pound of vegetables because I was having alcohol too (I had 2 glasses of red wine instead of liquor or beer) and I get really hungry if I have a beer so I made sure to just keep eating vegetables.
Do you see my point though?
Instead of going crazy and not eating ANYTHING bad, I let myself have what I wanted, I just ate smaller portions of it. I kind of “grazed” the bad food, and gorged on the healthy food.
Just figure out what works for you and do that. I know from personal experience that if I try to not eat anything bad at all, I’ll start binge eating and completely ruin my diet, so I do what I just told you.
That’s really the ultimate secret to weight loss. Just figure out what works for YOU, and do it!
Jimmy Smith: Where can we find more info out about you?
Jeremy Reeves: Well I highly recommend you check out the report I wrote called “The 7 Deadly Fat Loss Sins” by going to www.7-deadly-fat-loss-sins.com. I’m also going to stick in that other sin as kind of a bonus I think.
So far the report is getting REALLY good feedback.
In fact, when I put it out there, I got positive feedback from the 3rd person who read it, which is very unusual (but also a great sign)!
Here’s the exact email he wrote me:
“Just wanted to thank you for your report. Also there is so much information about weight loss out there. I liked your report very much.I lost 27 pounds in the last 65 days and still going. Currently I weight 181 pounds, 5′8″ tall. My BMI seems high for my body – 27.6 also my body fat is 13.8%.Maybe the stats are not great, but hey… I am a 43 year old male and the last time I weighted under 180 pounds was well over 20 years ago.I’m still working on loosing weight, don’t really have a set goal… just feeling very well right now and I’ll see how far I can go. Again, thanks for your report Jeremy… I learned a lot.”
The report is kind of like this interview, very laid back and fun instead of “professional” and boring.
I have a very different thinking process than most people, as you’ve probably noticed, and I think people enjoy the change of pace.
I always hear the same thing over and over when it comes to fitness, so I try to be different than everybody else.
Anyway, I’m not really the kind of person to brag about myself or anything like that, I really just think you should check it out.
It’s completely FREE so I mean there’s really no really not to download it. Even if you hate it for some reason, just delete it from your computer.
So go check that out and when you do, please give it a read and write me an email letting me know what you thought of the report. I love getting feedback, it makes me feel like it was worth the time to write the report ya know? I love hearing that I’m helping people out, it makes my day.
So go to www.7-deadly-fat-loss-sins.com and go check it out. You’re going to love it.
I also would like you to know that I recently created a fantastic book called “Hassle Free Fat Loss” which you can find at http://www.HassleFreeFatLoss.com
The main purpose of this book was really to get people to understand that although a lot of these techniques work incredibly well and help you get in the absolute best shape of your life, there are a lot of things that simply aren’t necessary.
I think that one of the main reasons people give up on losing weight is because it’s too hard and too complicated – and once they start getting frustrated from these things, it just goes on a downward spiral which never really comes back up, and they eventually give up.
So the main purpose of Hassle Free Fat Loss is to simplify the fat loss process and make it very easy for the average person to do. I spent A LOT of time researching various fitness “truths” such as the myth that eating 6 meals per day boosts your metabolism (it absolutely doesn’t and has 0 research to back it up) and pretty much just include the things that DO work in the book.
It’s a pretty unique book, so I highly recommend you go check it out at www.HassleFreeFatLoss.com
Anyway, thanks for the interview and I’ll talk to you soon Jimmy, cya!
End of interview.
