Why Most Diets Don’t Work and What to Try Instead

The Dream of the Quick Fix

Imagine a world where you could shed those extra pounds effortlessly. A world where you could eat whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted, and still, your waistline would continuously shrink. That’s the dream, isn’t it? It’s the promise that many fad diets make, the promise that has us jumping from one diet to the next, hoping that maybe this time, this diet will be the magic solution.

But, let’s get real. Deep down, we all know that this dream is just that – a dream. Something not grounded in reality. And yet, we continue to chase it, hoping against hope that maybe, just maybe, it will come true.

Don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s human nature to seek out the path of least resistance. But in the journey of weight loss, this path often leads us astray. It’s time to face the truth: most diets don’t work. And here’s why.

The Problem with Most Diets

Many diets are built around the concept of restriction. Whether it’s cutting out carbs, fat, or sugar, the idea is the same: by eliminating a certain type of food, you can force your body to lose weight. But here’s the thing: our bodies are not designed to function this way. We need a balanced diet to stay healthy and happy.

When we deprive ourselves of certain food groups, we’re not just cutting out calories—we’re also cutting out essential nutrients. This can lead to a host of health issues, from fatigue and mood swings to more serious problems like nutrient deficiencies.

Plus, let’s not forget the elephant in the room: diets are hard to stick to. They require immense discipline and willpower, and let’s face it, life can get in the way. A stressful day at work, a night out with friends, a family celebration—these are all situations where sticking to a strict diet plan can feel nearly impossible.

The Solution: Healthy Nutrition Habits and Regular Exercise

So, if most diets don’t work, what does? The answer is simple: a balanced, healthy diet combined with regular exercise. It might not be the quick fix we’re all hoping for, but it’s the only approach that truly works in the long term.

Healthy nutrition habits involve eating a variety of foods from all food groups in the right proportions. This ensures that your body gets all the nutrients it needs to function properly. Instead of cutting out carbs or fats, focus on choosing healthier options—whole grains over refined grains, lean proteins over fatty meats, fresh fruits and vegetables over processed foods.

Regular exercise is the other half of the equation. The key is to find a type of exercise that you enjoy and can stick with. This could be anything from walking or cycling to dancing or yoga. Mixing up your routine with a functional fitness workout like MMAXOut can also be beneficial. These workouts are designed to improve your overall fitness and strength, making everyday activities easier and helping you burn more calories even at rest.

Do You Know Which Workout Is The Best For Any Type Of Sport

Mmaxout & Specific sport training.

Soccer: a sport played by 250 million players in over 200 countries, making it the worlds most popular sport. Players cover 8-12km during a game which in turn consists of 24% walking, 36% jogging, 20% grazing, 11% sprinting, 7% backwards jogging and 2% moving while in possession of the ball. Given this information, a soccer players endurance must be flawless. Mmaxout training will not only strengthen and enhance agility and skill but it is the most superlative way to improve endurance training. Soccer requires a balance of explosive power and muscular endurance. Mmaxout interval training is prime in order to achieve maximum explosive power. Also, the combination of all Mmaxout attributes will fulfill Muscular endurance.

Mmaxout Interval training has become the most advanced and accelerated way to burn fat and build muscle. Interval training is a type of intermittent physical training that involves a series of low to high intensity exercises with short rest periods. Our main goal of interval training is to improve speed and cardiovascular fitness. High intensity intervals result in the effect of drastically boosting metabolism. Boosting metabolism is the best way to burn fat. In turn, as you build more muscle through the exercises, you burn more fat. Mmaxout interval training excels in a variety of interval categories.

A few examples of how we set up for our interval training:

30 seconds on/10 second rest period/ 8 sets

60 seconds on/10 second rest period/ 4 sets

Interval training is not only beneficial for building muscle, burning fat & increasing cardiovascular fitness but it also keeps boredom away. A 20 minute workout of alternating high/low intensity periods burns more calories than a 20 minute workout of steady intensity. Interval training boosts metabolism significantly longer than a steady workout of even longer length. It also builds lean muscle tissue faster than steady state exercise. Which in turn is why Mmaxout interval training has surpassed all other workout programs with proven success.

MMAXOUT is the latest, hottest adult fitness program that is taking over the country. It has been featured in multiple media outlets as the number 1 high intensity-training program with a MMA emphasis. So what is all the hype about?

MMAXOUT incorporates a unique training technique to its fitness program. It was designed by Bruce (Fit Boss) to incorporate high- intensity interval training in which the client is advised to give 100% effort through quick, intense burst of exercises, followed by short, sometime active recovery period. Recent studies conducted by Laval University, East Tennessee State University, Baylor College of Medicine, and the University of New South Wales have shown this type of training increases and maintains heart rate and torches fat in less time. The workouts are designed to increase the bodies demand for oxygen during maximum effort that creates an oxygen debt, resulting in your body to ask for more during recovery. This effect is known as the Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). This is informally referred to as the after burn. EPOC effect clearly increases with MMAXOUT’S high intensity interval training resulting in greater fat loss 16 to 24 hours post exercise. The result: more calories burned than if you’d exercised at a lower intensity for the same (or longer) period of time. Exactly how much you can burn after exercising directly correlates to the duration and intensity of your workout.

Another benefit to MMAXOUT’S high intensity interval training program in appetite control. Many people post exercise are starving. After an hour on the treadmill, elliptical or bicycle you can’t wait to eat to recoup. This can pose a challenge to your fitness goals. With MMAXOUT’s Fitness Program the opposite is true. People are less hungry post workout allowing them to make sensible post exercise food choices. Research suggests a direct correlation of post exercise appetite to the type and intensity of exercise preformed. It has to do with the “hunger hormone” ghrelin, which lines the stomach wall and signals brain to eat. A recent study done at University of Western Australia found that this type of high intensity training suppresses this hormone, resulting in decrease appetite. It has also been found to increase levels of blood lactate and blood glucose, which will decrease post exercise appetite. Similar studies conducted at Leeds University in Britain and University of Munich confirms this theory that short high intensity exercises actually suppress appetite.

In conclusion, MMAXOUTS Fitness Program by design has been proven to allow you to workout less by pushing your body to its MMAXimal potential resulting in greater results in fat loss and muscle growth. So why waste your valuable time doing anything other than program. It’s time to MMAXOUT!

Cheap Beach Toys = Amazing workouts

If you are beach-bound, pack this beach workout with you. Exercising on the beach isn’t only fun, it’s also a great way to challenge your body.

Sand provides an uneven surface which makes working out more challenging. Since your body has to work harder to balance, you end up burning more calories. There is also less impact on joints when you do running or jumping in the sand, which means your less prone to injury.

The options to working out on the beach are endless, but here are a few exercise’s you can take on vacation with you. All you need is a beach ball park bench, and maybe some cones, or life guard chair as a marker, to burn crazy calories.

Warm up with 25 push ups, 2 laps of jogging about 100 yards and 25 basic squats

Ok here you go, find some markers like a life guard stand, trash cans of volley ball nets and make a 4 different area of markers about 60 yards…. you are going to do suicides to each marker

1) 1 suicide sprint at the end do 10 sprawls

2) 1 suicide sprint at the end do 10 jump squats

3) Find a Bench and do 30 bench jumps

4) 1 suicide Sprint at the end do 10 dive bombers

5) Kick a soccer ball as far as you can then chase it then grab ball and do 10 Ball Sprawls – 3 sets….

That will kick your butt in just 30 minutes 🙂

MMAXOUT Strength Conditioning School:

Clientele 101

Welcome to MMAXOUT Strength Conditioning School!

During this first class you’ll learn the fundamentals of building a clientele base of 400 + members in 6 months or less. Here’s the syllabus…You’ll learn what we did, how we did it, the results when done right, and how easy it is for you to use. Take it from us, we increased business from 15 to over 400 members and are now opening multiple locations in less than 6 months using these few simple rules broken down into a few simple chapters.

Chapter 1: What we did.

One of the most important tools essential for cutting overhead and creating local buzz is available in free advertising. There’s no sense in spending money that you’re not making. Don’t buy into believing that you have to spend money to make money. It’s obvious that when members spend money on you it’s because you’re worth it. Potential customers see more value in how your members spend money then how you spend money. So its time show them what you’re worth!

Chapter 2: How we did it.

As stated in chapter 1 everything you need to reach your target market (and more) is available in free advertising. Start by reaching out to other local businesses and community groups to support each other’s success. This is as simple as asking to place a few business cards on the counter for customers to grab at their time of purchase or during an event. Additionally, offer to place other businesses cards in your brochures and make a few referrals for them who will mention you by name. Lesson #1 “NOTHING TRAVELS LIKE WORD OF MOUTH.”

What we use as our main campaign is what we call “Talking Billboards”. Talking Billboards are members who are enthusiastic about our program and who we know will be enthusiastic when telling others. These members don’t have to be your most fit or toned. In fact, the best billboards are ones where others can see the results happening right before their eyes. So, like that of partnering with other businesses and community groups’ lesson #1 still applies. People will trust what they can see and hear, a walking and talking billboard.

Use your website to filter, track, promote, and communicate. If there is one item that deserves TLC and money it’s your website. Never forget the 6 B’s of marketing. Always go Big, Bold, and Brief to get the Biggest Bang for your Buck. Everything you do to market and advertise should call action to your website. It’s here that people will get a second introduction to your program and the affirmation needed to sign up. Before and after pictures with testimonials are the perfect ways to show people your guaranteed results.

Have you caught on the theme of our first chapter yet? Let your existing members do your advertising, recruiting, customer service, and retention for you! While this is a win-win situation don’t think that it isn’t guided by a few extra tricks learned later in the course.

Need to know a trick now? Give something away for free!! Think we’re crazy? If you give something away for free…ANYTHING…a shirt, a pen, free lessons (WHO CARES) it is a guarantee that others will hear about your good deed. Everyone wants something for free and they love to tell others about it.

Chapter 3: The results.

We could have spent thousands of dollars in newspaper ads, highway billboards, commercials, radio advertisements and the like. Instead, we increased business from 15 members to over 400 members in less than 6 months without creating a dime of additional overhead advertising expenses. Save yourself the time and the money. Create a “buy in” effect with every member you have because they are the greatest marketing tool at your disposal.

Our biggest result? Other than each and every member committed every day to better living, our biggest result is more free time. We unloaded the burden of wasting our time outside the program and invested it into the program. Now we can focus on what matters, our members, and they know they can rely on us.

Clientele 101 free tip…

Our program and marketing strategies cast a shadow over competitors because it is shredded of gimmicks and schemes others use to gain membership. Reach beyond your target markets by kicking old marketing and advertising habits out the window and generate business buzz FOR FREE!
