Can Eating Fat Can Really Make You Burn Fat? 

You bet. In fact, cattle farmers discovered a few decades ago that coconut fat made their cows leaner instead of fatter, like they had hoped. They fed them coconut fat because it was cheap, but when they started seeing their cows getting thinner, they backed off and started feeding them grain, corn and all sorts of other garbage cows weren't created to eat. This fattened them up like a charm, so the practice continued and is why we have so many cattle problems and bad meat on the market today. There are other kinds of fats that will make you lean too, like avocado, CLA and omega 3 to name a few, but NOT when they are consumed with fast carbs, so remember to be strategic!

Eating breakfast makes you skinny
Polls found that 96% of people who lost weight and kept it off ate breakfast regularly. Their calorie intake was the same as the non breakfast eaters too! Science has already established that not all calories are created equal, but this shows that the timing of your calories is crucial as well!

Having the right goal really does matter
Researchers found that women who exercise only to lose weight are less likely to stick with it than those who exercise for the benefits of strength and stress relief. That might be why X Gym has such a great retention rate, because our style is the best for stress relief and strength! It is also the best for weight loss, so we got them all covered!
