Marshfield Weight Loss Program - Beach Belly


Watching this movie really opened my eyes during summer of 2009.

Not that I didn't know our grocery stores we're primarily loaded with horrible food options for staying fit and trim, but combined with the inconsistencies I had seen over my 16 years in nutrition and fat loss I realized that MANY PEOPLE still had no idea how to actually lose fat and keep it off.

I knew I had to put a foot in the door of the weight loss circle.

Not that Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and the like don't have their place... but...

I know I can help people eat find foods that are not chemical laden like the ones offered in stores and online by companies above.

In fact, foods that are offered as a service for my members are made fresh, free of chemicals and growth hormone, pesticides and the other nasty chemicals plaguing are manufactured and overly processed foods.

They are in fact prepared by a woman I trust whole-heartedly as personal chef and nutritional food preparer.

Her name is Brooke, of http://www.brookethecook.com/

Her foods are simply delicious. Mouth watering. In fact, she makes these peanut butter squares, well, consider them a reward once you graduate the first level of my system. They are worth becoming a success :) Trust me.

Her meals are just an option for you. Simply an option.

Do you need them? No. Will they make life easier? Of course.

But the last thing I want you to feel from my Marshfield Beach Belly Weight Loss System is that you need to depend on products to become successful.

I want to help you clear your cupboards and cabinets of pills and potions.

I want you to enjoy your fat loss while educating yourself.

My hope is that you would graduate and not need my nutritional guidance again. That you'll be self-reliant and never co-dependent of another weight loss group ever again!

Am I ambitious? Yes.

But why do I feel my system beats the other systems?

Well, for one it's not just about point counting and lecture. It's hands on. What does that mean? Well, once you sign up you'll know the details. But this is a weight loss group like no other.

I want you to come out of this feeling empowered and ready to conquer any goal that sets before you.

Like my private training clients. I'm going to help you set goals and shatter them. That's what I want for you.

So where and when?

System Rate:

equaling $19.75 per week... you get so much for such a little number realistically.

But why is this program the rate that it is?

I offer the Mercedes Benz of weight loss programs.

None of the frill just the necessary points, and, they are breakthrough points! You get what you pay for. Especially since my education is spanned over 16 years and I've trained thousands of sessions and helped hundreds with fat loss.

Magazines trust my knowledge as an expert in the field of fat loss.

I'm in dozens of issues a year.

You WILL succeed!

The only way you can't succeed is if YOU CHOOSE not to.

I'm going to set you up with materials and an education like you've never had. And I've got some great fat-fighting protocols for you to follow on your journey that are guaranteed to make you lose stubborn fat.

I WILL NOT LET YOU FAIL so long AS YOU TRY.

It will work.

Now does that seem expensive to you?
To keep the weight off for good?

Once you sign-up I'll fill you into what happens in the program that I'd hate to give-away online because I safe-guard my fat loss secrets.

If put them out there other companies may take and run with my systems and I do not want that.

I only want you and my group to have access to the knowledge I have and provide to my other successful fat loss clients.

So who wants a Beach Belly?


Your trusted Marshfield fitness and fat loss expert,

Weight Watcher's Circa 1991


So I'm going through some old paperwork.... extremely old... and I discovered a THINLINE copy from May/June of 1991. THINLINE was a bimonthly newspaper/letter put out by Weight Watcher's.

It belonged to my mother, who had attended Weight Watcher's back when I was still wrestling other neighborhood kids for the WWF Intercontinental Championship Belt held by one of my favorite soap opera wrestling stars of the day The Ultimate Warrior. Man I wanted to be as diesel as that guy growing up.

Any way, mom use to attend the weekly meetings, delve into Oprah late afternoons, and talk with her girlfriends about the latest scoop. This newsletter I'm sure was one of their seasonal topics... while a young 12 year old boy was trying to prove his supremacy over the other children in his small town neighborhood as an Elite Wrestling Figure. But I digress whose mission was flashier or more important. :)

So, back to THINLINE, what stuck out the most in this newsletter was most of their success stories were people together accomplishing weight loss. As in sisters, friends, coworkers, husband and wife, etc.

And I have to admit, although not being a big fan of Weight Watcher's in general, I agree with them that social support is ABSOLUTELY critical in terms of success with fat loss.

Yeah you can do it alone, heck I ran the Boston Marathon training alone, but having someone support you makes things far easier.

With the Marathon, I felt it was one of the easiest runs of my life.

Not joking.

But it was support of the other runners, the atmosphere of children and adults watching on who were extremely encouraging that made the greatest race in Massachusetts history inviting.

So, to share a similar message with the 1991, Shoulder Padded leaders of Weight Watcher history, GET SOCIAL SUPPORT.

Friend, Sister, Brother, Colleague, Parent, Wife, Husband, Boyfriend, Girlfriend who will ultimately talk with you and encourage you day to day. And if you do not have anyone, consider finding new people who contribute and take time from your life. Once you find warm, inviting, caring people, the rest is far easier.
Live the Dream,

To alli or not alli?

~ as article appears in CNC Publications ~

Move over Slim Fast and Weight Watcher’s, there’s a (supposed) new wonder pill in town and it’s being hyped by Wal-Mart’s and grocery stores nationwide. It’s called “alli” and it’s been dubbed as the only over-the-counter FDA approved weight loss supplement on the market.


Is it all hype though? Can it really help shed pounds of unsightly body fat? Will you need to sport Depends soil-absorbent undergarments over your Hanes? If you don’t understand the last sentence I advise you to take great care reading forward. This pill may not be for you. But after reading this article it’s my greatest ambition that you’ll be able to make a contentious decision before dropping your paycheck on this publicity monster. So let’s get into the dirt.


First off, alli may be remembered best as its predecessor, “orlistat”. In its simplest form, orlistat prevented the digestion and absorption of fat in foods. So if you ate something terribly wrong you can be happy to know that most of the fat in said meal will just end up passing right through your system…and then onto your pants in an oily discharge. Smile!


This phenomenon happens by way of the pill blocking lipase-the enzyme in the intestine that separates fat in food so that it can be absorbed into the body-and preventing fat absorption. It’s suggested twenty-five percent of the fat in a meal is blocked. Unfortunately, that twenty-five percent is excreted in the stool and furthermore in the disturbing result mentioned in prior.


But although orlistat is know for this tremendous amount of fat blockage let it be known that alli is a lower dose formulation of orlistat. So its effects are comparable to orlistat’s outrageous power. And if you’re wondering, orlistat is still only available by prescription.


To meet the requirements for orlistat’s prescription you must be an obese individual with a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or greater. In general, a five foot eight individual would have to weigh an unfit 200 pounds or greater. Or imagine being five foot 2 inches and weighing a pudgy 165 pounds. So it’s not for the fitness enthusiast or self-contentious individual looking to drop ten pounds or less.


In fact studies have only shown the average weight loss achieved with 100% compliance to orlistat for six months to one year to be twelve to thirteen pounds. Is it still worth the runs to you?


I’d rather save the money spent on new drawers and use it to enjoy some delicious foods at the restaurants of my choice while spending an hour or two a week training and watching what I eat. Plus not only do you have to swallow pills but you have to time them with your meal about an hour prior to each feeding. If not it’s a waste.


So, besides the mess, which I can not stress enough, here’s the kicker that’s associated with fat absorption in your diet; you lose needed vitamins. Sure, it may not seem like such a big deal, but vitamins are categorized as either water soluble and fat soluble in nature. These fat-soluble vitamins bind to fat (vitamins A, D, E and K). When orlistat is taken, these vitamins are not absorbed and are eliminated in the stool in increased amounts along with the fat. This leaves dieters having with no choice but to take a multivitamin at least a few hours prior to first use each morning to ensure that daily nutritional needs are met.


Now, to get back to my main rebuttal with orlistat compounds-as alli is-you have to be willing to deal with messy discharges…from your hiney! Side effects are as listed: oily spotting on underwear, flatulence, urgent bowel movements, fatty or oily stools, increased number of bowel movements, abdominal pain or discomfort, and inability to control stool (incontinence). Side effects occur within three months of starting this product and in about fifty percent of patients, the side effects resolved within one to four weeks, but the effects in some patients lasted six months or longer.


A helpful hint given by the manufacturers to reduce nasty occurrences is to consume meals with no more than thirty percent of fat because it is the unabsorbed fat that causes most of the symptoms. Alli causes fewer side effects because it contains half the dose of prescription–strength orlistat though. But are you willing to take a few days off from work to sit at home in case you have an irritable bowel accident?


So, do you take a pill nearly guaranteeing an embarrassing public moment in the hopes that it may help you drop a half pound this week? The manufacturer is clearly warning potential users of leakage and disastrous stains left on underwear and pants alike.


Or do you take care of weight gain the good ole’ fashion way by being active and putting down the damn swiss rolls and hamburger? I’d hope you’d choose to take it easy on your pants and just go for a light jog for goodness sake.


My final decision: alli and orlistat both lose. Sorry, but I just can’t justify how this is anymore than a clever and expensive advertising and marketing campaign to rob millions of desperate and lazy people of their hard earned money. Any individual uneducated enough to take this ridiculous pill will not experience a greater weight loss than traditional, well-earned fat loss success.


So save your money-Depends will never be the fashion-and get off the couch and into the expansive and beautiful terrains of our beloved New England to jog along gorgeous shoreline’s, hike through green and plush state forestry and swim and wade in our refreshing ponds and bays. You’ll thank me for it later.
