We all slip. We have in the past and we will again. Look, even the pros do, finding themselves in life situations that takes away (some of) their focus temporarily.

Here’s the key word: temporarily!

All too often, we non-pro athletes get discouraged, give up even; just because we slipped up for a given reason. I used to, and ended up at 205 lbs!

I don’t anymore. I react, switch gears, take the closest and shortest way back to the road leading to my goal.

That’s what happened in February. I had the road mapped out and was packed (1RF in hand) and ready to go. Almost immediately, I hit a bump in the road, actually more of a pot-hole! Flu. I didn’t have any significant fever for more than a day, but was weak and sluggish for 2-3 days.

A stuffy nose does nothing to give you any sensation of taste of you foods, which – stupidly – led me to seeking foods I remembered had taste (i.e. pizza, burgers, etc). The sad thing was that I couldn’t taste even that; but worse, this junk went directly to some fat cells I’d just cleaned out!

I trudged along on my pot-holed road, with 1RF doing its damndest to help, but finally decided it was time for something more drastic. A deviation. A 3-week Radical Fat Loss deviation, leading back to my 1RF road! 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor 

1RF, just so it’s 100% clear, has not disappointed, not in the least. And I am not getting off, just taking a fat loss deviation for 3 weeks, then coming back to do phase 3 of 1RF in a better mind set and with less bodyfat to weigh me down (mentally as well as physically).

You will therefore get a double for the next 2 weeks: the result of my “deviation” and the final verdict on 1RF (but I’m sold on that, in fact I’ve already scheduled a re-run in September after spending the summer on 7MM).

A quick note on this Radical Fat Loss Blueprint deviation.

If anyone came to me with a wild plan promising a 21-pound fat loss in 21 days; I’d tell them where to take their plan. The thing was, the person with this plan isn’t “anyone”, it’s one of a select number of trainers I trust. Jon Benson is crazy yes, but not so crazy he’ll sell you a health risk.

In fact, he won’t even let you have Radical Fat Loss Blueprint unless you have a lifestyle plan to go to after the 3 weeks! That’s sane for a guy I just called crazy (smiling here, Jon) and you can basically only get a copy if you own (or get here and now) his Every Other Day Diet http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/FitnessFor   (which incidentally, I have been using for over a year and can’t see not using for the rest of my days, it’s that good!) or prove that you own another good, sound and life-long nutrition program.

I could use the 1RF nutrition plan for example, or any of the other ones we give you access to on www.atozfitness.com , but you must have a plan for the after Radical-weeks.

RFLB (Radical Fat Loss Blueprint) is limited in time and only to be used for a maximum of 4 times a year. OK, there should be a warning triangle on the front page of the pdf, J kidding, it’s safe when it’s done the proper way, for the prescribed time, and with the necessary supplements. Jon even decided that he wasn’t letting anyone do the program or buying the supplements without completing a Certification course on his web site!

No direct information on how the RFLB goes or even went until May, as there is an on-going competition and of course, I don’t want to have the other competitors know where I am so they can more easily beat me.

Conclusion: my 12-week 1RF-journey gets a 3-week RFLB deviation which will get me back to the “main road” which is the 1RF-track. Life is unpredictable. We just have to deal with it and adapt our strategy. Giving up is never an option! (The word is deleted from my vocabulary, as is the word “problem”).

Have a great week!
