So, here’s an interesting question: WHEN do you burn the most fat?
Most every article on this topic begins with the word “HOW.”
“How to burn more bodyfat!”
That sort of thing.
I’ve written several books on the subject so that is not the point of today’s ah-ha moment. The point is WHEN.
At what time of day do you burn the most amount of bodyfat? How can you use this knowledge to increase your own fat-burning power?
Sounds interesting… so let’s dive in.
First, I want you to remember this old saying that I came up with about two years ago. That makes it old enough to be an old saying…
You burn more fat at night if you’re doing it right.
Next in line is the morning time.
Hokey, but effective… and true. If you are dialed in with your nutrition plan and sufficient exercise the night can become your best friend.
Your body is like a vampire, only it’s sucking on fat cells and doesn’t dress like a high school goth guy.
There are many reasons for this. First, you are secreting growth hormone in larger quantities at night. In particular during the first few hours of deep sleep.
Second, your mind is in the proper state. Yep: Mental relaxation is a powerful fat-burner. Decreasing the “stressmones” (that’s what I call them) like coritsol helps your body shed fat.
Finally, your body is digesting food at night which requires (you got it) energy. Energy that comes from your fat cells if you have your nutrition plan rocking.
Isn’t that cool?
Now, I promised I’d tell you something today that you’d have to see to believe.
Literally.
I am a pretty skeptical guy about anything that promises to help me “loose-weight while I sleep.” Most of that is nonsense.
Dumping carbs four hours before bed and walking for an hour… now THAT makes you burn bodyfat while you dream about… well, burning bodyfat I guess. You know…while you snooozzzzze.
But I found a cool little tool that helps.
It’s rather amazing actually. I stumbled on this when I was suffering from a very painful knee injury a few years ago. I was having a hard time sleeping and I didn’t want to take a lot of meds.
A good friend of mine, Michael Lovitch from the Hypnosis Network (NOT the “You’re getting sleeeeeepyyyy” kind, but the “medical” hypnotherapy variety) sent me four CDs.
One of them was a self-guided session to reduce pain.
It worked. Really well too! I was kinda shocked, even though I write about the power of the mind all the time.
I didn’t think that much about the other CDs. You know how it is when you’re in pain.
Then one day I decided to give the Weight- Loss CD a shot. Wow… really nice results as well.
I literally used this as I was drifting off into sleep. I would often wake up with the CD looping still.
I later found out that Michael’s team of “doctors” (not quacks with watches, or guys that make you bark like a dog) were on the cutting edge of alternative therapies, including weight-loss… and of course pain management.
Would you be willing to give it a shot too? If so, go here –

Night-time Weight Loss CD
Not many things help you burn bodyfat after you are done counting sheep and as you are visited by Mr. Sandman, but this is the real deal.
What I got the most out of these sessions with my CD player was a renewed energy and focus. Losing bodyfat became… well, much more effortless than before. Your subconscious mind can process information so much more rapidly than your conscious mind can.
Just to be clear, the program doesn’t magically burn bodyfat. Nothing does. The sessions simply make changing behaviors that positively influence fatburning almost effortless.
For example: If portion control is an issue, then this program is for you.
I also find that the deeper relaxation these sessions give you help increase natural Gh(growth hormone- which burns bodyfat).
I like to listen before I go to bed and listen while I snooze, but you can listen any time during the day as long as you have 15 minutes to spare.

The One Bodypart We All Love
Abs…the six-pack…the stomach. We all love a tight midsection.
I finally found a book that I really love and that follows my own 7 Minute Muscle principles — less training done with much more focus = better results.
Mike Geary’s book on “The Truth About Abs” is a must-have –

Your abs will be too.
A Blind Man Finds His Way
When Mike Winegarden emailed me a few years back with a request for one of my books in a “blind-friendly document”, I immediately liked the man. He was funny, ambitious and full of drive.
And, of course, totally blind. Almost totally deaf too. Can you imagine?
Did that stop Mike from losing about 40-lbs of bodyfat and adding ten in muscle?
Nope.
Did that keep him from saving up for his own home gym just so he could exercise more intensely?
Nope.
Was any of this easy?
Nope.
It’s because of all of this and more that I can’t wait to share Mike’s before and after story with you all very soon.
This is a man who has truly found his way when it comes to fitness. When I saw his after pics they blew me away.
Stay tuned — I’ll share them and Mike’s story with you later next week.
Until then, give thanks for what you have and for guys like Mike who can inspire you and remind you of how much you can accomplish with the right mindset.
Conclusion
Oh, one more thing: This economy is tough, but what’s inside of you is far more powerful than any outside force. Tap into it and make your life soar during the tough times.
