YES, it really is possible to transform your body from mushy with rolls of fat, to muscle with six-pack abs in Just 49 Days.

I’ll show you how in this article and the before and after pictures will prove it (more stunning transformation pictures below).

I’m sure some people are thinking, “Yeah right – I’ve heard this before, and I’m surprised to hear it from you Tom, because you’ve never been a quick fix guy.”

If you had that reaction, I'm glad, because it means you’re a critical thinker. You analyze things and look closer before taking them at face value.

It also tells me that you’re probably as fed up with quick fixes and tired of hearing false weight loss claims in the magazines, on TV and all over the Internet as I am.

I’ve seen all those crazy ads too: A quick web search on “lose pounds” brought up these results in just seconds:

“Drop 30 pounds in 30 days”… “Cut 10 pounds this weekend”… “Lose 9 pounds every 11 days” … Lose 7 pounds in 7 days” … “3 day diet - lose 10 pounds in 3 days”…

...And that's only a fraction of the ads that popped up in the first few pages of Google.

The entire diet industry is based on claims of quick weight loss in a short amount of time – it’s the most powerful promise - and usually the word “easy” is part of the pitch.

I don't know about you, but I sense that a lot of people are getting sick of this. After years of trying all the miracle diets and magic pills that promised fast results, but failed to deliver, people are becoming distrusting and downright cynical.

And yet in all my 22+ years as a fitness professional and fat loss coach, I’ve learned that people WANT answers about this. These are the questions that never stop coming in:

This isn’t just because people are impatient by nature, it’s because human beings don’t like uncertainty – they want to know what to expect.

I don’t blame them. This question deserves an answer. In fact, I think it’s a MUST to set specific goals for specific time frames.

But this can get tricky: If you set your goals too high, you set yourself up for disappointment. If you set your goals too low, you sell yourself short.

We’ve now proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you can create measurable, visible results – dramatic results that others will notice – in as little as 49 days.

• If you’re already lean, you can get ripped with 6-pack abs in 49 days
• If you’re average, you can get lean and start to see your abs show through in 49 days
• If you’re overweight, you can drop so much fat, you’ll need a whole new wardrobe in just 49 days (so please don’t yell at me about your clothes shopping bill)
• If you’re obese, you can lose enough fat to dramatically improve your blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids - while also dropping several waist sizes and feeling like a million bucks - in only 49 days

Hundreds of thousands of men and women have used the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) fat burning system world-wide since it was first released in 2002.

But just in the past two years, something extraordinary happened that made us re-think everything we thought we knew about realistic vs. unrealistic goals… about typical vs. extraordinary results…

The turning point was when we started hosting body transformation contests that were only 49 days long. At first there was no particular reason for the 49-day time frame except this:

We held the contest over the holidays, from Thanksgiving through the new year into early January. That “holiday challenge” just happened to be a 7-week period… 49 days.

At first people said we were crazy to have a body transformation contest during the busiest, most stressful and most temptation-filled time of the year.

The skeptics also said that 7 weeks wasn’t long enough to see any really major body changes. You needed at least 3 or 4 months for that, they scoffed, much longer if you were obese or overweight.

In spite of the naysayers, thousands of men and women of every body shape and size; every walk of life, and every age group, accepted my 49-day challenge.

After documenting their results with photos, weigh-ins, body fat testing, weekly progress reporting and strict date verification, hundreds of them finished the challenge… and by day 49, the end result was:

Maybe you’ve heard the S.M.A.R.T. goals formula: Specific, measurable, accountable, realistic and time-bound. That’ a GOOD acronym to remember, and making your goals realistic is an important part of it.

It’s been said that there are few unrealistic goals, mostly just unrealistic deadlines.

But the results of our new challenge made us realize that under a certain set of circumstances and with just the right goal deadline, the odds of a spectacular “results not typical” body transformation increase dramatically.

This doesn’t change anything I believe about setting long term goals, embracing goal setting as a habit or making health and fitness a lifestyle… it only adds a new twist.

Long term goals – those that span a year or more – are vitally important. But there’s a problem if you only think long term: It’s difficult to keep up your motivation and action in the present moment with the target so far away. You tend to rationalize: “I have plenty of time, so if I miss this one workout, or cheat on this one meal, it won’t matter.”

Short term goals are equally important because reaching daily goals gives you a confidence boost. Weekly results serve as a compass or guidance system which tells you exactly what to tweak in your nutrition and training each week to keep the results coming.

If you don’t get frequent feedback by setting short term goals and measuring your progress against them, you easily drift off track. By the time you make a course correction, you’ve wasted days, weeks or even months without payback.

I wondered… what if a shorter time frame actually INCREASED the urgency to produce results? What if you picked a time frame that was:

• Short enough that you knew every workout and every meal mattered, which maximized your motivation and kept you totally focused
• Long enough that you could measure and see dramatic results
• Broken up into one week blocks allowing easy progress tracking and fast course corrections

And what if you attacked this goal under highly-motivating conditions which included:

• Social Support
• Accountability
• Rewards, recognition and prizes

What we discovered is that the urgency of a 49-day goal combined with the right motivational leverage conjured up the “perfect storm” for breathtaking body transformations.

It is pretty well-established that "typical" weight loss on a well-designed program is usually 1 to 2 pounds per week. One percent of total body weight or 3 pounds a week is not uncommon if you have a lot of weight to lose. (larger and heavier people can lose weight faster than short, lean or smaller people).

Beyond that, I can't make any claims or predictions about your 49-day results.

The truth is, I don’t know what you’ll accomplish – only you can decide that by how hard you're willing to work at it.

What I can tell you is that above average results ARE possible with the right program, under the right conditions, combined with a healthy dose of hard work.

I can also tell you that if you do it the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle way, you won’t just lose body weight, you’ll lose body fat and keep the lean muscle. If you choose, you can even gain lean muscle while losing fat at the same time: that rare achievement also known as "body re-composition."

The best way to demonstrate all this is not with more talking, but by showing you some of the inspiring body transformation results that our clients and members achieved during our most recent 49 day challenge.

PROOF That You Can Transform Your Physique Only 49 Days...

Let me first introduce you to Chris Sohayda, the most recent winner of our 49-day Burn the Fat Body Transformation Challenge:

From the back, what you see there is called the classic "V-taper" - that much-envied, much sought-after wide-shouldered, wide-backed, tapering-into-a-small-waist look. You're also sure to notice this: Love handles.... GONE! From the front, Chris looks a lot like a bodybuilder. Truth be told, Chris doesn't compete on stage. He's just a regular dude - a 42-year old dad - who woke up one morning and said to himself, "I've become one of those "skinny fat" people... Chris only weighed 171 pounds in the before photo - clearly not overWEIGHT by any height-weight chart standards, but his body fat before was 19%... that's pushing the upper range for men where you're borderline "overFAT." Chris came across Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle and learned about body composition and how to alter it naturally with nutrition and exercise. He received the invitation to the Holiday challenge and dove in head first. After just 49 days, Chris's body fat had dropped from 19% to 10%. His body weight dropped down to 158 pounds. If you do the math on that, you'll calculate that Chris burned 16.7 pounds of fat and gained 3.7 pounds of lean body mass. That is a VERY large drop in body fat relative to a 171 pound starting weight and you can clearly see the new muscle in the pictures. Chris is a spectacular example of what many natural bodybuilders know and practice: You don't need huge amounts of muscle bulk to display a physique so impressive it looks something Michelangelo carved out of stone. It's all about the symmetry, proportions (having muscle in the right places) and being nicely cut, with a low body fat percentage.

Next, Meet Linda McVetty:

Linda shredded 17 excess pounds, slashed her body fat 8.6% (down from 27.9% to 19.3%) added on 2.1 pounds of lean body mass, and flattened her belly - all in just 49 days (not to mention, she survived a bikini photo shoot in the snow!) Like Chris, Linda is another person who understands the importance of body composition versus body weight. Linda wrote: "Becoming just a smaller version of myself just wasn't good enough anymore. This time I was focusing on building and preserving lean muscle." As her pictures reveal - Linda succeeded! Just look at that back double biceps pose! the muscularity is stunning! A mom with a 6-year old daughter, her goal now is a triathalon... or maybe even a figure competion. We think either one is within her grasp! Oh, and about the before snapshot, why the santa cap and the red bikini out in the snow? Well, this was the Burn the Fat holiday challenge and Linda was showing some real holiday spirit!

Ok, now this is the part where you'll want to pay close attention because these are THE success secrets that every one of our champions used to get the kind of "beyond typical" results you see in the photos.

By looking closely at what Chris, Linda and hundreds of our Burn the Fat champions had in common, we may have cracked the code on why some people routinely blow past “average” results and achieve more in 7 weeks than most people do in 7 months:

1. Proven Program. All of our champions used Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - most importantly, they were using strategies for improving body composition - that means fat loss, not just weight loss.

2. Positive Association/ Support. All of our champions participated in a support forum using the power of association with like minded people

3. Accountability System. All of our champions used an accountability system – “keeping score” by tracking results weekly, and posting the results for others to see

4. Rewards/External Motivation. All of our champions achieved their transformation during one of our official Burn the Fat body transformation challenge competitions and the prizes/rewards were pretty "juicy."

5. Hard Work. All of our champions worked their butts off. As Thomas Edison once said, "There is no substitute for hard work." None.

If you follow the same success strategies that our Burn the fat champions did, you too can achieve an incredible body transformation in 49 days.

All of these success strategies are available to you - even the rewards part. If you don't have a contest with prizes to enter at the moment, then think about how else you might reward yourself for a goal achieved; How about a vacation? A spa treatment or massage? What about sharp new clothes?

It’s important to know that Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle is not a “49-day program.” That would imply that it’s over in 49 days. If a program ends in 49 days, what then? 49 days is just a goal; it’s a motivational challenge. Burn the fat is a lifestyle.

Here’s how the program will work for you, long-term:

Use the program to lose all the fat you want, until you reach your ultimate goal. When you’re satisfied with your current body weight and body composition, you can simply move into a maintenance phase with maintenance calories (or start building muscle, if that's what you want). But the nutrition guidelines and foods you’ll eat are mostly the same.

How long it takes you to hit your long term goal depends on where you are now…

We have people using the program at every stage along the journey...

You can use the program whether you have 100 pounds or more to lose or just the last 10 pounds (so you can finally see your abs!) You can use it whether you’re a year away from your goal or just weeks away.

Health and fitness is not a 7 week program, it’s a lifelong journey. But along the way, you need short term goals and motivational challenges to help yourself achieve your longer term goals.

Look at them as stepping-stones, and each time you step from one level to the next, you’ll look back and amaze yourself with how far you’ve come.

Start today and 49 days from now, I know you’ll surprise yourself and everyone around you with your killer new body. Your co-workers, your friends, your family… jaws will drop everywhere.

If you’d like to make amazing body changes like our burn the Fat Challenge champions did, everything you need can be found in the "bible of fat loss" - Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - the same fat-burning program our champions used.

It’s an e-book available right on this website and it’s downloadable so you can get started literally just minutes from now.

Included with the Burn the fat e-book, you get 60 days of membership in our Burn the Fat Inner Circle: The internet’s premier fitness motivation and support community. This is where you get the accountability and support that are so vital if you want results that are far beyond the norm.

As a confirmed and registered Burn the fat owner, you’ll also receive private invitations for all our Burn the Fat Challenges – we hold these exciting competitions twice a year – once in the summer and once in the winter (the original 49 day holiday challenge).

Put your trust in this system – and in your own potential to do so much better than you're doing now – and you could shave weeks or even months off the time it would normally take you to reach your most desired body shape and fitness goals.
