Good News: Researchers are Nuts

More on FTO -- and this one really deserve the "why on earth did some university grant this guy a PhD?" award.

The headline read:

"Fat-Gene Can Be Conquered IF You Exercise 3-4 Hour Per Day!"

I won't even bore you with the details of this ridiculous study, but suffice to say they went so far as to look at the Amish lifestyle as an 'answer' of sorts to the FTO issue.

"Gardening, housecleaning, yard work... all of these count."

Okay, show of hands: How many of you do plenty of EACH and are still not where you want to be body-wise?

All of you?

That's what I thought.

Look, all the super-moderate activity in the world is not going to help anyone turn off any fat-gene.

Short, intense exercise will. A realistic nutrition plan (like mine, or the ones detailed in Christopher's book) will.

Common sense will.

You do NOT need 3-4 hours of exercise a day to be healthy any more than you need 3-4 hours of investing each day to be rich.

You need SMART exercise (and smart investing for that matter.) It's not an issue of time, it's an issue of intensity and focus.

The links at the bottom of this newsletter are to my books, all of which answer the question: "How can I get the most done in the least amount of time?"

I'm all for an hour of walking a day, only because it's great for you and I love it. But to suggest anyone needs 3-4 hours of measly activity a day is damn silly.

7-21 minutes of intense activity (that is safe for you) and 30-60 minutes of moderately brisk walking (or an equal measure of exercise) is all you need to be in SUPER shape, let alone healthy.

I made the case in "7 Minute Muscle" and thousands are listening:

7 Minute Muscle Freee Report

Perhaps these researchers never met guys like me, Clarence Bass, Richard Winett, or any of the thousands of real- world experts who stay lean and healthy without 3-4 hours a day of activity.

And we have "the fat-gene"... at least I do. So there.

And that means you can do it too.
