I wish there was a way for me to scream "NO!!!" loud enough for all to hear my cry. STOP investing in a slew of supplements that will NEVER work, no matter how long or often you use them (read on to learn why). NEVER purchase gimmicked exercise machines that promise miracle results (whether it be for the stomach, buns, hips, thighs, or ANY body part), but in the end, only serve as a cheap giveaway at your next yard sale. Ab machines promising to firm your stomach and help you lose weight, all in a mere 30 days, DO NOT ENHANCE THE APPEARANCE OF OR FLATTEN YOUR WAISTLINE, and will NOT BURN ONE OUNCE OF EXCESS FAT. Yet, they do add nicely to your weight loss related junk collection.

Realize that body fat not only attaches itself to our stomach, hips, thighs, and arms, but also to our FACE...losing fat improves the way we look from HEAD TO TOE! Trust me, I know...since I once had a chubby everything...

I'm Francesco Castano, and in my attempts to become a naturally large bodybuilder, I made MANY dietary mistakes that left me with over 50 pounds of excess fat and a grotesque 43 inch waist.

Every individual who is in need of weight loss has a goal of finding the perfect way to permanently lose FAT without devoting themselves to complex, dangerous, unrealistic diet and exercise routines. Throughout my initial years, I read many articles and books on nutrition, putting the various ideas, theories, and plans to the test -- on myself. Some worked better than others, but none worked very well. Nevertheless, I had much weight to lose, so I continued experimenting with different dietary strategies.

Along with trying many popular fad diets, I also spent loads of money and time experimenting with legal dietary supplements that promised quick, miraculous weight loss. I figured that with so many "fat burners" on the market claiming to quickly and effortlessly remove excess weight, at least ONE had to work as advertised. After spending countless dollars on popular supplements with the words "thermogenic" and "metabolic" printed on the label, I found NOTHING that came in a pill, powder, or spray that helped in eliminating ANY excess weight (FAT). What really upset me was that these companies legally and continually advertised amazing results, yet delivered nothing but the status quo. I even tried "stacking" several products simultaneously hoping for a hint of progress, but I was left with utter disappointment.

How can these supplement companies continue to deceive the public with their outlandish, UNPROVEN claims, when pharmaceutical companies must undergo rigid testing prior to releasing publically consumable drugs? The sad fact is, although the government regulates these supplement providers, claims are RARELY examined. Therefore, well known companies can release a new supplement monthly, advertise results that aren't even possible with ILLEGAL drugs, and suffer NO adverse impact. They benefit, but we continue to suffer.

Unfortunately, WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENT PROVIDERS COULD NOT CONTINUALLY PROFIT IF THEY OFFERED A PRODUCT THAT ACTUALLY PRODUCED PERMANENT RESULTS! IF YOU LOSE WEIGHT, YOU WON'T BUY THEIR NEXT "NEW, AMAZING FAT ABSORBER", BUT WILL KEEP SENDING THEM $200 PER MONTH TO TRY THE NEXT BOTTLED FAD. AMAZINGLY, THEIR GOAL IS TO KEEP YOU FAT! THE LESS WEIGHT YOU LOSE, THE MORE SUPPLEMENTS YOU WILL BUY! NEVER FORGET THIS!

If supplements can claim to offer an "easy, FAST, LEGAL aid to weight loss", we're all going to try the product in hopes of finally achieving rapid and permanent weight loss. Guess who benefits? Not us. This is scary, but very true. DON'T FALL FOR IT! I did, and am disappointed that it took me years to determine that I was not buying a legal, safe weight loss agent, but rather an overpriced, hard to swallow capsule that added to my confusion.

Can you obtain a rock hard stomach from a plastic pillow? What about a wheelbarrow? It would be nice if you could, which is why SO MANY people bought those frightening abdominal "rockers" and "wheels". On one box, I saw something like "Over 250,000 sold", which means that over 250,000 individuals wasted their time and money on an overblown bird feeder. First off, FAT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY THE ABS (STOMACH MUSCLES) ARE INVISIBLE. Case closed! Even if you perform thousands of crunches each day, OR EVEN ALL DAY, you will NEVER HAVE A FIRM MID-SECTION WHEN FAT HIDES THE UNDERLYING MUSCLE! The key to losing this stored fat is PROPER DIET -- you can even neglect exercise completely, and if you follow an effective diet routine, you will burn body fat (exercise simply enhances the rate of fat loss WHEN YOU FOLLOW A PROPER DIET)!

The makers of these machines are well aware of this fact, which is why they include a diet program with each of these contraptions. They hope the user follows the diet plan, and attributes any improvement in their appearance to the dummy machine. Wow! It's nice to see ethical behavior has taken the world by storm! But let's now examine WHY the machine doesn't work. Each of these contraptions, by nature, are designed to make a stomach crunch EASIER, which does NOTHING to increase firmness and improve tone in your mid-section! In fact, to make crunches effective, you need to increase, not decrease, resistance, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what these gadgets offer. Unfortunately, there is NO machine in existence today that can offer you such stimulation, so stop searching. Remember, you NEED TO LOSE FAT FROM THE MID-SECTION TO DISPLAY A FIRM, ATHLETIC STOMACH, and toy store items like these abdominal chairs and wheels will only eat up your hard earned money. LOSE THE FAT through proper diet (WHICH IS THE PRIMARY FACTOR), and CORRECTLY perform crunches (that require NO SPECIAL EQUIPMENT), to tone your abs. But remember -- YOU CAN'T DEFINE YOUR MID-SECTION WITHOUT LOSING FAT, THUS CRUNCHES WITHOUT PROPER DIET ARE WORTHLESS! Many perform crunches while following an ineffective diet routine, and achieve NOTHING, so never forget that proper diet is CRUCIAL! No special machines -- no awkward, uncomfortable exercises -- it's not as difficult as people think!

I could not even consider naming every available weight loss product that falsely promises rapid, dramatic physical improvements, as the list is endless. This is not taking into consideration the thousands of products not yet introduced -- a new batch of weight loss fantasy gadgets and supplements are released every 1-3 months, and they ALL fall into the same category (waste of time and money!). If you learn only one lesson from this web site, let it be the following:

The above may be difficult to digest, but it is nevertheless the absolute truth. Physical fitness enterprises make their billions by appealing to your inner most senses, creating the appearance of a "do-nothing" approach to achieving dramatic physical improvement. Despite their deception, never forget -- there is no product available NOW OR IN THE FUTURE that substitutes for proper diet/exercise techniques. If you remember this, you've learned more than 95% of the people who are currently pursuing weight loss. KNOWLEDGE IS KEY!

The only required element for consistent fat loss is proper diet, thus exercise is not an essential factor. Yet, if one chooses to engage in regular exercise, fat loss accelerates. For example, if you lose 15 pounds in one month through proper diet techniques (no exercise), you will enhance results by 5-15 pounds (losing 20-30 pounds) through introducing proper exercise variables in conjunction with diet. Thus, if you wish to enhance the rate of progress, adding exercise to proper diet is a worthwhile technique. Yet, if you are satisfied with the speed of weight loss using proper diet only, exercise is not necessary.

I don't have any specific gripes with weight loss clinics, but I firmly believe that anybody can lose weight without their symbolic hand-holding. They charge a mint for being a coach while YOU are putting forth maximum effort, NOT them. They should be paying YOU for working your tail, not taking a dollar a pound, or whatever their current promotion absorbs. Once you learn the proper diet and exercise methods, it's unnecessary to spend $200/month for somebody to watch.

From low carb high protein, to high carb low fat, to the strangely popular high fat diet, I experimented with all available options. I found that certain meal plans have some very effective ideas, but none offered ALL of the necessary ingredients to quickly, permanently, conveniently, and SAFELY eliminate fat.

For example, the low carbohydrate diet plan will cause a reduction in body weight within the first 1-2 weeks, but the majority of weight lost is water / muscle, and NOT FAT. Fat loss will follow, but unfortunately it is accompanied by a metabolic slowdown. The initial reduction of water/muscle actually DECREASES THE RATE AT WHICH YOU BURN CALORIES and, as a result, you will GAIN BACK EVERY LOST POUND ONCE YOU INTEGRATE CARBOHYDRATES BACK INTO YOUR DIET! It is not possible to follow a no-carbohydrate diet long term (it is unhealthy to do so), and inevitably you will find yourself introducing them into your regular eating plan after several weeks. Never forget -- LOSING BODY FAT IS YOUR ONLY GOAL, as reducing muscle tissue and water weight DOES NOT improve your appearance, and in fact greatly slows or even prohibits the fat loss process (which is why so many are "stuck" with no further results). In addition, weight loss on a low carbohydrate plan produces a smaller version of your former self rather than enhancing your physical appearance (due to muscle loss, which eliminates tone, and creates a sagging, unappealing body structure). Lastly, once you begin to follow a normal, carb based diet (a low carb plan such as the Atkins diet is IMPOSSIBLE and DANGEROUS to follow long term), within several months, YOU WILL LIKELY FIND YOURSELF FATTER THAN BEFORE YOU STARTED THE DIET, and you'll quickly search for a new routine. Low carb diets are NOT a permanent fat loss solution!

Always remember that weight is composed of water, muscle, and FAT -- your ONLY goal is to shed excess fat, as MUSCLE is essentially a calorie burning furnace (and will help you to quickly and permanently eliminate ALL excess body weight, EVEN WHILE RESTING). Any diet that restricts carbs in favor of high protein OR excessive fat intake is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, and does NOT permanently eliminate body fat. In fact, most find themselves FATTER due to carbohydrate depriving diet plans.

HIGH carbohydrate diet plans produce a different, yet EQUALLY INEFFECTIVE, response. In cases of high carbohydrate ingestion, the body actually SUPPRESSES FAT BURNING HORMONES, PREVENTING the release of stored calories (FAT). In fact, the only enzymes produced through a high carbohydrate focus are FAT STORING in nature (insulin), meaning unless calories are very low, you will ACTUALLY GAIN FAT ON A HIGH CARBOHYDRATE PLAN! Even if you were to sharply reduce calories, the excess carbohydrate concentration will continue to prevent the release of stored fat, but will gladly burn up muscle tissue (as protein content in such diet routines is extremely low). Thus, common diet philosophies that concentrate on a high carbohydrate, low protein/fat basis provide results similar to that of low carbohydrate / high protein structures -- muscle is lost, and fat percentage INCREASES!

Remember, ANY routine that results in muscle and/or water loss is NOT leading you towards the ultimate goal, which is to STRIP UGLY, UNWANTED BODY FAT. This includes programs that focus on calorie restrictions! When withholding calories from the body for as little as several hours, you naturally revert to "starvation mode", which reduces the rate at which you burn fat. You'll not only suffer from very low energy levels on such routines, but your body fat percentage will actually INCREASE when you return to a reasonable food intake (sound familiar?)! Your weight will drop, but MUSCLE and WATER will comprise a portion of the weight loss, and reverting to "normal" quantities of food yields rapid body fat increase, thus beginning the infamous "yo-yo syndrome". Don't ever forget this! Diet routines focusing on calorie restriction or starvation are actually DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR SUCCESS! Have you ever noticed how most overweight individuals actually consume very few calories relative to their size? They may eat two or three small meals per day, yet actually GAIN weight over time! Why? CALORIC RESTRICTION and IMPROPER MEAL COMPOSITION! Yes, if you eat properly, you can actually consume A LARGER QUANTITY OF FOOD, WHILE CONSISTENTLY LOSING WEIGHT. You of course should not OVER-EAT or stuff yourself with junk (as this will prevent fat loss), but rather consume sufficient food to feel satisfied. Severely restrictive food plans automatically prompt the body to slow the rate at which it burns energy, which literally dissolves all chance of body fat reduction. Eating more while losing weight? Yes, it certainly does work!

Believe me, sharply reducing calories is NOT the answer to losing unwanted body fat. In fact, it will actually cause your body to generate fat storage hormones!

Contrary to popular belief, exercising a specific body part does not result in additional fat loss! The body has a predefined order of gaining and losing fat (this is genetic, which is why we all have different trouble spots), and we cannot modify this through exercise, diet, or any other method. What we CAN do is force the body to burn stored fat through following a proper diet, and as the body progresses through its own predefined order (arms, chest, thighs, waist, etc), fat in those "problem areas" disappears! If, for example, the stomach was the first area to gain considerable fat, you will find that it is also the last to LOSE fat, meaning you need to continue eliminating overall fat percentage through proper diet until the body begins to target the stomach region. You cannot change the body's natural, predetermined order of fat loss through exercise or any other method (sans dangerous surgery!), so do not invest in any machine or technique that promises to target specific problem areas (such as a "firm stomach, solid thighs, lean hips, or sleek arms"), as the key to solving ANY fat loss dilemma is overall weight loss through a proper dietary focus.

Firstly, remember that ANY DIET PLAN THAT IS NOT EASY AND ENJOYABLE LONG TERM IS COMPLETELY WORTHLESS IN YOUR EFFORTS TO PERMANENTLY ELIMINATE STUBBORN FAT! It's amazing how millions scour the Internet and book store shelves searching for the most radical, extreme diet plan imaginable, hoping to finally derive everlasting fat loss. Yet, since these unorthodox diet philosophies are unrealistic over the long term, any lost fat simply returns when the strategy is abandoned. Not only do such diet routines turn life into a painful ordeal, but they tend to discourage even short term consistency, which results in a quick reversion to prior poor eating habits. If your goal is to not only lose fat fast, but also ensure that results are PERMANENT, you need to embrace a diet philosophy that is enjoyable AND healthy, both of which spur CONTINUED consistency. Many lose X pounds of weight on a particular diet philosophy, and assume that once the weight diminishes, reverting to prior poor, unproductive habits will in some way MAINTAIN A LOW LEVEL OF BODY FAT. Of course this is ILLOGICAL, but many fail to think long term. IF YOU WISH TO AVOID THE YO-YO SYNDROME (losing, but immediately regaining weight), YOU CANNOT PARTAKE IN UNREASONABLE DIET AND EXERCISE TECHNIQUES, AS THEY ONLY LEAD TO FURTHER FRUSTRATION, AND LONG TERM FAILURE!

Well, if high carbohydrate/low protein, low carbohydrate/high protein, high fat, and calorie restrictive diets are ALL ineffective in promoting permanent fat loss, what method WILL provide dramatic results? Over the past several years, I have tried different protein/carbohydrate/fat ratios, caloric levels, meal frequencies, and exercise plans, and thankfully lost 50 pounds of FAT, 10 inches from my waist, and reduced my overall body fat level by over 20%. On a side note, since every supplement FAILED MISERABLY throughout my extended experimentation, NO external aids were used in producing my weight loss, as I quit consuming such rubbish after all of my past failures. I found, through years of experimentation, that it takes no special drug, cream, or machine to lose unwanted fat, but rather the knowledge to PROPERLY eat and exercise, as this is the KEY to quick, permanent, HEALTHY weight loss.

Remember, you don't need Daffy Diet Pills or the Sally Slim Step Slider Exerciser; once you know EXACTLY HOW to eat you'll achieve your weight (FAT) loss goal WITHOUT equipment, supplements, or ANY external aids. Don't worry, if you wish to exercise for enhanced progress, long 60 minute exercise sessions are NOT necessary. The most important part to a weight loss plan is realism, as even the most effective diet/exercise routine is rather moot if impossible to maintain long term. Programs based on high volume, frequent training, and complex diet structures ALL lead to mental burnout! This is why most people quit diet and exercise routines after only two weeks! Realism is the key to producing consistent, permanent weight loss.

This plan is geared toward men or women of any age who DO NOT desire a bodybuilder type physique, but rather wish to primarily lose FAT, and if they choose to follow my exercise recommendations, firm up sagging body parts (enhance muscle tone) ( -- If you are looking to lose fat while gaining considerable muscle mass, visit www.musclenow.com -- ) Whether you need to shed 5 or 500 pounds, the diet rules are identical. I know how unhealthy and undesirable it feels to carry around excess poundage, which is why I'm so excited about helping those who can't find a reasonable solution. It's interesting to note that after losing the weight, I received many compliments on my facial features, which surprised me. My belief was that losing fat would make for an attractive body, while never even considering the improvements it would have on facial appearance. Well, to my delight, fat loss offered equally significant improvement to BOTH my body and face. So I learned, through my own success, that it doesn't matter where the weight is located -- the hips, arms, waist, thighs, buttocks, FACE, etc., it all comes off with the same diet plan.

My MuscleNOW program (available at MuscleNOW.com) teaches you how to lose fat and build muscle (through weight training techniques), while Fat Vanish is for those who wish to focus on fat loss alone, and are not interested in building any muscle mass. The diet plans in both MuscleNOW and Fat Vanish are very similar, therefore you will produce excellent fat loss with both programs, so the choice of which to pursue depends on whether you also wish to build muscle (if you do, I suggest MuscleNOW, otherwise Fat Vanish is appropriate).

Yes!! In fact, I have a large number of female testimonials listed below, and my Fat Vanish system is appropriate for both women and men of any age. I have more photos of men because far more females tend to avoid the camera when they are heavier than they would like, or do not wish to show photos of themselves in what they consider to be embarrassing physical condition (most women can relate to what I am saying!), so I receive far less before/after pictures from females, but many women have happily written testimonials of their impressive success with Fat Vanish (see below). After writing MuscleNOW, I realized that many (especially females) do not wish to build muscle mass and have no interest in weight lifting, so this is why I decided to produce the Fat Vanish program, which offers the fat loss techniques from MuscleNOW without the muscle building workouts.

If you only learn ONE lesson from my web site -- PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY by AVOIDING gimmicked weight loss machines, pills, and creams -- they DON'T WORK! Isn't it funny how the same guy who promises results with one machine releases a new, more expensive product six months later? If the first was so amazingly effective, then why the second...or third...or tenth? Ask yourself the same question about weight loss supplements. Why new products? If one pill or powder provides results, we need not turn to new, more costly alternatives. This is common sense, but I unfortunately ignored this very fact for many years. NONE WORK -- you can either take it from me, or learn through negative experiences. Remember, I invested large sums of money testing supplements that promise quick, consistent weight loss, and found that they are ALL a big, FAT LIE!

In addition, AVOID UNHEALTHY FAD DIET ROUTINES! NO DIET IS WORTH FOLLOWING IF IT IS EITHER DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO EMBRACE LONG TERM, AND THE LARGE MAJORITY OF ROUTINES PROVIDE UNREALISTIC, UNHEALTHY TECHNIQUES! I have individuals who indicate reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol after several weeks of following my dietary recommendations, and even have a diabetic client who ceased medication due to stabilization of blood sugar levels. In addition, increased energy and appetite control are BOTH A FUNCTION OF PROPER DIET/EXERCISE, and FAD routines do NOT offer a healthy, energizing, appetite suppressing method towards permanent weight loss (WHICH IS WHY ALL WHO FOLLOW SUCH TECHNIQUES ALWAYS SEARCH FOR NEW ANSWERS).

Well to start I am a 27 year old male and have been slightly overweight or FAT if you prefer since I can remember. In the past I had tried the latest high protein diet with not much success, I also tried the protein drinks, and the good old starvation diet. Still I only lost a pound here and gained two or three there! So I surfed the internet and found the Fat Vanish site. I had to have read the site on five or six different occasions and I finally decided I would try it. I must admit I was very skeptical, but I agreed the money back guarantee could not be beat. So I received the book and I began implementing the information from the book around two months ago. At that time I weighed 230 lbs. By following the system and implementing all of the information I received, the weight literally started vanishing! At first people that did not know what I was attempting called it water weight etc. Whenever I ran into people that said this I informed them of what plan I was on and told them a little bit about it. I also joined the gym and started working out, for the first month I did cardio (running). After the second week on the plan my pants started to loosen up and I was starting to get a real good feeling about this.

Well three weeks turned into four and I had lost around 23 pounds. Everything on the site was right on and at that point when people asked why I didn't just copy the book and send it back I informed them that Francesco had worked a long time on this and the results I was getting couldn't be better, so in my mind he lived up to my expectations and I wasn't going to rob him of all of his hard work on the best self help book I have ever read!!

Well here I sit typing this and its been a little over 2 months and I now weigh 180 pounds that's a 50, that's right 50 pound loss and I feel great!! I had to go clothes shopping and everything, My mother told me she hasn't seen me this thin since I was six! And everyone else I run into can't believe it either, I am always getting compliments and everyone wants to know how I did it and I tell then all about the program and where to get it! I have been told I look younger, completely different etc. Now I'm at the point where I don't know if I need to lose more or what, I never thought I would have that problem, although I still need to do some additional toning etc..!! So to make a very long story short, the book is great, Francesco is a huge help with any questions and the first step is to order it and find out for yourself, if you follow the book you will lose that unwanted weight and you will feel better. Thanks!!

I have lost 20 lbs and 4 1/2 inches in 1 month. It is easy to follow and I still get to eat my favorite foods. My 14 year old daughter has been doing this with me and she has lost 15 pounds. Thank you for the awesome plan.

I finally have pictures for you. I lost 38 lbs and went from a size 14 to size 6 in 4 months. Thank you so much.

The following experiment was conducted by a freelance author who lives in the United Kingdom, and she wrote the following summary of her findings:

I am Emma Powdrill, a freelance writer residing in the United Kingdom, and as the world's popularity soars into an overweight frenzy, we decided to try out some popular diets that claim to help you shed some unruly pounds.

One of the ones we decided to test was the Fat Vanish program written by Francesco Castano. This diet claims to help banish the fat without any hard exercise and diet pills. Our tester Amanda Delallio is an average UK housewife whose weight soared after the birth of her 3 children.

No matter what I tried, I just couldn't lose the excess weight I had gained during my 3 pregnancies, so I was happy to be a tester for this particular diet. I have a very busy lifestyle caring for my family and needed something that was easy to follow, this seemed like just the remedy," says Amanda.

We put Amanda on the Fat Vanish program for 3 months, with thanks to the author who kindly donated the plan for our experiment.

"I started the diet program with high hopes and promised myself that I would stick to it word for word! When I received the book, it looked complicated, so I was a little worried I might lapse."

Although once Amanda started, she soon found the program really easy and was able to stick to it, even with her busy schedule as a mother of 3.

"The first week went by very quickly and I was surprised at how I was finding it easy to stick to! With my children I have chocolate and crisps everywhere I look but I found I was satisfied with what I was eating, and didn't feel the desire to snack on all the unhealthy food I once craved."

Amanda managed to lose an incredible 3 and a half stones (49 pounds) in the 3 months and is now a svelte size 12!

I have never felt sexier and healthier; I am so glad I took on the challenge offered to me. I want to thank Fat Vanish for a well thought out diet plan, without that, I would still be the size 18 I was 3 months ago, maybe bigger."

Amanda kindly allowed us to use her before and after pictures (shown above) so others can witness her achievement.

Evelyn Rhines Loses 93 Pounds
With Fat Vanish!

225 Pounds: 132 Pounds:

I was a three-sport athlete on my way to a Division one school until I blew out my knee in the summer of my senior year, which resulted in seven knee surgeries, including Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Lateral Meniscus reconstruction, infections, two torn tendons and right femoral nerve damage. My most recent surgery just occurred last month, for reconstruction of my Left Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and I am still on Fatvanish keeping the weight off. I tried to play at the colligate level, but it was just too much for my knee to handle. I started to gain weight because of not being on a sports team and not being active or taking care of my body, adding a total of 30 lbs in college. My weight continuously increased year after year until I gave up the battle.

Several years ago, I found FatVanish.com and I became excited again about the potential to lose weight. I was doing great on the Fat Vanish Life change until I had a major life hiccup and fell into some depression after a bad break-up. (You know how some of us women can be.)

Three years ago I was involved in a major car accident, which resulted in a herniated disc and annular tear in my back, but I found my way back to Fat Vanish regardless. I restarted on the Fat Vanish program, at the time weighing a hefty 225lbs with a 45 inch waist. I am proud to say that by changing my lifestyle to match the Fat Vanish recommendations, I lost 93 lbs and now have a 25-inch waist.

Because of the Fat Vanish Program, I not only am far healthier, but I also reversed my most recent health issue of High Blood Pressure, chronic anemia and a high glucose level (Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Cancer run in my family.) Best of all, I have no High Blood Pressure and my anemia and allergies are almost non-existent.

With the grace of God, I followed Fat Vanish consistently, and have seen my body go from Flab to Fab!

Dear Francesco,

This is my first testimonial and I'm truly excited to let you know! So here goes...

When I first received the book in October last year, I read it thoroughly a few times and I must admit, I was indeed very skeptical. The plan sounded easy and I was really having doubts. After all, I have tried all sorts of diet plans out there with either no result, or with only temporary result. I always ended up getting fat again in the end.

When I was a teen, I was slim, I could wear whatever I want, my body looked good, even my face was slim. I'm 31 now, and I get disgusted and hate it everytime I look in the mirror. I was fat, my face looked like a watermelon, and when I went shopping for clothes, God knows how sad I was since all the good and nice clothes out there didn't carry my size. Each and every time, I came home from shopping depressed, upset and I ended up hating myself even more.

That's when I decided to give your Fat Vanish plan a try, and I took the first photo (dated October last year) where my weight was 75kg.

Since I was really, really skeptical and actually convinced that I would end up fat and ugly until I get old anyway, even though I was on Fat Vanish plan, I wasn't strict with myself and I "cheated" a lot during meal time.

However, in February this year, people started asking me if I had lose weight. Before this, everytime people opened their mouth to me, it would either be "Wow you're FAT now!" or the least harsh ones would say "You have gained weight!". Whichever it was, both meant the same - "Linda, you are FAT now". So when they started asking, "Have you lose weight?", I just laughed it off, as I was pretty sure that they were just trying to be nice.

In March this year (still on and off with Fat Vanish), all of a sudden I decided to take a photo again. Needless to say, I was surprised to see the difference when I compared this second photo and the first one taken last year.

So I started reading the Fat Vanish book again. Together with my sister who also wanted to lose a bit of weight, we started to plan our meal carefully since she and I had different goal (she's 21 and only wanted to lose a bit while I wanted to lose a lot). And since I'm vegetarian and she's not, my meal plan was different than hers so I took quite some time planning it.

Exactly one month ago (May 15th), I decided to go all out and to follow the diet strictly. At that time, I still weight around 71kg, just like in the second photo.

*ONLY* last week, I started exercising, following your simple exercise plan and doing cardio 3 times a week.

Tonight, I just took another photo and boy was I amazed. I now weight 67kg, a vast difference from the 75kg I once was.

Now, people around me no longer ASK me if I have lost weight. They SAY so. They TELL me so.

"You've lost weight!", "You look better!", "Wow... You look prettier nowadays!", and I have you to thank for.

So thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the amazing plan. I've got my life back and I am continuing with the diet and exercise to reach my goal of 55kg, and I will take more photos of my progress later and email them to you.

So watch out for my next testimonial!

:-D

I truly feel motivated now and I'm really eager to continue with this plan and witness the amazing transformation! You are most welcome to post my photos and testimonial on your website, I feel honored! I'd love to let the skeptical people out there know that Fat Vanish does work, even for vegetarians!

You can post my Hotmail email address with my testimonial should there be any skeptical people out there who would like to communicate with me directly, so people who may wanna ask me anything about the effectiveness of your diet can contact me at my Hotmail address. Thanks again, I'm very happy and like I said in my previous email, I'm going for my 55kg goal and I'll send you even more photos later!

Happy, happy, happy!!!

Francesco,

I have been on your fat vanish diet for many months now not following it to a tee though. I still have to work out with wieghts too. This program really tones up your body and helps you get in excellent physical shape. Lost about 15 punds in 12 weeks and have stuck with it. As for your course I put it into practice with my swimming, and with the bc specail olympics and won three medals. a gold a silver and a bronze. Your helpful tips in the course and my willingness to put it into practise with my Lord as savour, also helped out.

Pictured are three of the medals I won at the BC special olympics Provincials. I won a Gold in the 50meter backstroke at a time of 56.890, and a silver in the 50 meter freestyle at a time of 44.180, and a bronze in the 4 x 50 relay. That's the fruit of your fat vanish diet.

Thanks for the course.

Francesco,

Dennis (my husband, age 62) and I (age 55) started your Fat Vanish program 2 weeks ago and are very happy with it. At the 2 week mark, our fat pinch was down 4 marks (I don't know what the increments are), we both lost 5 pounds and 2" off the waistline. I know that the results will get even better as we go along. We both have 30-35 pounds to lose.

In the past, we were doing very heavy resistance training, tons of dif exercises for each muscle group with lots of reps. Aerobics was at 1 hour + each time also. We did not change our eating habits although we have always eaten healthy, we thought. Well, we were wrong! We were fat, fat, fat and heading for serious health problems. With your diet plan, which is much easier to stick with than the Provida diet (on which I lost 20 pounds but could not stick with it), meals are fast and easy and I think reasonably healthy. My husband doesn't have all the allergies I have and he gets a lot more protein choices but I am happy with those I can eat.

I am looking forward to a slim, toned, healthy body again. Thanks very much for sharing your ideas with us!

I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know about our continuing success at the 2 month mark using your plan. I have dropped a total of 13 pounds so far and my husband has lost 18. He had surgery 2-3 weeks ago and was not able to do any resistance or aerobics other than short walks daily. Everything is going well.

Here is the 6 month update for my husband and I. Dennis has currently lost 45 pounds and is at 180 and looking very trim. He says he hasn't weighed that since he was 16 or younger, (that is over 50 years ago). I have lost 30 pounds and feel that I can still peel off 3 more inches of fat from my waist. So, I am being really good and working hard at my aerobics and resistance training and sticking to the diet. The diet is very simple, satisfying and easy to follow for the long term. I'd advise anyone to start now and kick the fat habit.

Thanks again!

I just wanted to give you a quick update on my progress. So far, after being on the plan for 4 weeks, I've lost 17 pounds and about 3 inches. I'm not too sure on the inches part of it, but according to Curves, that's the decrease in inches. Anyway...I am so very happy and thank you so much. I'll be sure to keep you up to date.

I know it's been some time since an update so here goes....my total weight loss is up to 33 pounds and according to Curves, my total inches lost is somewhere in the low 20s. I thought I had an update sheet handy, but I do not. Also, at Curves, they are holding a Biggest Loser competition in which the winner gets 2 months free. According to one of the owners I am shoe-in! I can't tell you how happy I am with the progress I have made with my life change and I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge...I am forever grateful. I would love to see more people get involved with fatvanish. This is coming from someone who had to exercise vigorously for at least 60 minutes to lose even 2 pounds in one month. I am so incredibly happy with the success I have had with your plan. I truly can not thank you enough, and and God Bless You.

Hi, Francesco,

I'm Linda Lenau. I've been on fatvanish for about 3.5 months now and havn't let you know how I'm progressing. I have lost 16 lbs. I have been measuring for years many parts of my body so I just kept on even though you say only waist and calipher. My waist is the last part to lose on my body so I'm glad that I saw improvements elsewhere on my body. Most of it came off on my neck and back. People noticed soon because my face also was thinner.

I noticed that the weight isn't important (havn't dropped a size yet either because of big waist measurement) but my clothes fit different. Almost at the place now where my body doesn't have much choice now but to take it off my waist! Yea! That means lower size also. I have had 6 children and have had a big stomach and waist with appearance of cottage cheese. Have tried repeatedly through spot training to get rid of it. Have also had trouble with low blood sugar and was aware of insulin control - your method helped my to fine-tune that. My stomach is looking more firm and feels less jiggly.(first time in many years) I have told many people about this. I think most aren't willing to try this hard. I think I was ready for I have tried through diets without exercise for years. I'm 55 yrs old now and it was becoming a losing battle as metabolism was slowing worse. I knew it was metabolism related but didn't know what to do. Neither do doctors. My mother died from diabetes. You are right about the glycemic index. I was following that and eating a lot of fruit because of that index. I now do it only for pre-post exercise. So thanks so much. I found your site by accident. I no longer looked for diet info, however, I did use protein powder and I was looking for egg protein that was affordable and I got directed to your site off someone else's site for the egg protein. Thats when I read all your stuff. I believe it was God directing me as I was praying for HELP! I give up, God -Help!

I have been to the doctor's since your program and had full blood work, and total cholesterol was like 217 last year but I had a good ratio of low to high. This year, my total cholesterol was 167 and the ratio was even better.

I lost 4.5 inches in my waist but still need to lose another 3 inches.

Will update again when I have acheived all my goals.

7 weeks into it....lost 20.5 lbs and 5.25" off my waist...down 4 sizes!!

I have been having trouble getting to the gym to do aerobics and I found a great solution which has led to great workouts!! I am a very busy mother of three kids. (6yrs, 3yrs, and 8mo. old) I started incorporating my kids into my routine. I pop in a workout cassette (which you can find cheap on ebay) and we all just start dancing!! I do some of my favorite moves from aerobic classes or I chase the kids up and down the hall, skipping, hopping, etc... This is great fun for all of us!! My 8 mo. old giggles and hops in her bouncy seat and if she starts getting cranky I pick her up and carry her with me..that really intensifies things!! Occasionally I use my baby as a workout tool as well! She loves when I bench press her or do my squats while holding her ( she's a great counterweight for balance!) This has led to great memories for all of us, as well as great naps for the baby!! If you ever come across a frustrated mom feel free to share this idea, or share my email address with them. I hope this helps someone else achieve their goals, too. Thanks for sharing such a great program!!

Francesco,

HI! I have been on the Fat-Vanish plan for 10 weeks now, lost 20 pounds and 3 inches! I love it that my clothes are very loose now!!!

I am in my 18th week of this diet! I have lost 30 pounds and 5 inches! I have had to buy smaller clothes!!! YES! I love to work out and watching what I eat has really helped some health issues I have had. I joined a gym in April and I go 3 times a week. THANKS SO MUCH!!

I just wanted to let you know that after following the diet for one month with no exercise, I have lost 16 pounds and two inches. I will keep you updated of my progress.

I was searching through the Internet looking for fat loss programs when I came across Francesco's web site. After reading about the Fat Vanish™ program, I felt some hope that I could get back into shape. I will admit that I am skeptical about weight loss programs. I've tried a few and did lose some weight quickly, but in time, whenever I would go back to eating a normal amount (not a lot), I gained back the weight I had lost, and then a few pounds more. It was so discouraging! This program offered a money back guarantee, which gave me the chance to try this without fear of wasting my money. I tried it and I am so thrilled that I did! Having Francesco available via the Internet for my questions and concerns makes a lot of difference. He has always been quick to answer my questions and concerns. Since I travel often with my work, I am not able to get to a gym or bring weight-training equipment with me, but by using the body weight resistance training instead, I am still getting good results. I have lost 11 pounds so far, and feel great about continuing to lose the fat, gain more muscle, and reach my goals. I'm never hungry with this program. It seems that I eat more than ever before. I just eat properly now. This is not a miracle program. You have to eat right, exercise and be committed. But if you do that, you can get some miraculous results!

I was just looking over your site again. I haven't looked in a while, and I saw you had my testimonial up. I thought you should know that I have now lost 23 pounds, beyond the 11 pounds when I wrote the testimonial. I am so happy with your program. I am still making progress, and everything in the testimonial stands as true today as it was then! Thanks so much for your program!

Francesco,

My daughter and I have reached our first measurement day (2 weeks). WOW! I lost 2 1/2 inches at my waist and 7 pounds. My daughter lost 2 3/4 inches at her waist and 8 pounds We are so excited! Your program is so easy to follow and satisfying it's hard to believe it works (until you take measurements). I will keep you updated on our progress and will send you pictures when I've reached my goal. Thank you so much. :)

After my measurements yesterday, I have lost an additional 1 1/2 inches at the waist and 3 lbs for a total of 4 inches and 10 lbs in four weeks!!

Dear Francesco,

I have been on your program for 7 weeks now to lose the excess fat from having a baby. It has worked super. I have lost 4 1/2" from my waist and ten pounds. Also I have lost 2 inches from my thigh! I am so glad I found your program.

I just wanted to tell you that I feel GREAT.. my pants are feeling a bit looser and I just feel pretty good.. I've lost about 9 pounds so far and it's only been like 3 weeks.. Thank you so much.

I purchased your book about three weeks ago and started on the plan two weeks ago. I measured and weighed myself yesterday at the two-week mark after I got up and was ecstatic to discover I lost five pounds and three inches! In just two weeks! Wow! This plan really does work! I had weighed over 140 pounds about a year ago and went on Family Fitness' program and lost nearly 20 pounds, but couldn't get the rest of the weight off no matter how I tried. Using this program really simplifies things for me, and although I do sometimes miss my old eating habits, I will never go back to being a fattie again!

Thank you and God bless you! You're wonderful!

How are you doing?? I must say I'm going fantastically! I had my first genuine compliment today, one of the instructors at my gym asked if I'd lost weight because I was looking thin! It's really easy for me to see the progress as we must weigh ourselves, take our blood pressure etc... at the gym here every time we go.

To anyone considering this program, just do it!

I had been going to the gym for about 6 months trying to lose weight and working out in a way which I thought was right. However, the weeks would pass and nothing changed I was getting nowhere! Then one day when I saw photos of myself on vacation I knew I had to do something. This is when I found Francesco's site. At first I was a bit skeptical, but the testimonies, and writing to Francesco convinced me that this was something that would really work. I was really impressed with how quickly he personally replied to me too.

So far I have lost 7 kilos (15.4 pounds) on this diet, and people are starting to really notice the change and comment. I am never hungry and always satisfied with what I eat on the program, I think I eat a lot healthier too! I feel a lot happier these days about the way I look.

Thanks again Francesco

The weight loss has gone really well and I'm down to 63 kilos which is pretty close to my goal now (about 9 kilos lost in total).

I just wanted to drop a note to say that I'm 2-weeks into your plan. Sunday was a grand day!

I'm a female who has lost 1-1/2 inches from my waist and 4 lbs! This has been pretty easy for me to follow. Will keep you informed!!

I have another wonderful report at the 4-week mark. I have lost another 4 pounds and 1 more inch from my waist!! I was able to wear an outfit to Church Sunday that I haven't been able to wear in over a year!! I'm sticking to this. It's working great!!!

Last Sunday I celebrated my two month anniversary of being on your Fat Vanish program! Great news, I've met my first big goal! I have lost 26 lbs. and 3 - 1/2 inches from my waist!! I haven't been hungry, and have much more energy. This is a difficult time of year to be watching what goes into the mouth so intently, but I've made up my mind - I'm going all the way this time!! Besides, your system of eating really makes it easy.

Thanks again and will keep you informed!

Had a great Doctor visit today! My blood pressure is great and he's definitely pleased at the weight loss and the method I'm using!

I am down 31 pounds now!! Praise God! I can see the glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel! As I am into the second stage of my weight loss adventure, I'm starting to feel pretty good about myself!

Mrs. R. Walker

Francesco,

I want to thank you so much for your assistance and support with your Fat Vanish™ program.

I found your site at a time in my life when I was looking to make changes after a breakup with a boyfriend. Many of us know too well how an experience like this can affect our confidence and image of ourselves. I admit I was very skeptical and almost returned the package after receiving it. Before doing so, I e-mailed Francesco and the support he gave to me from that moment on made a huge difference. Now I had become determined to succeed. I wanted the athletic body back that I had before the relationship. More importantly, I wanted to do this without fad diets and supplements.

Now, 5 weeks later, thanks to your program, wonderful, quick and professional e-mail support and my determination, I have reduced my body fat from 23% to 18% and have lost 1 1/2 inches off my waist and dropped a size in clothing. The confidence and strength I've gained has been worth all the effort the last few weeks and I am motivated more than ever to make this program a new way of life for myself. The compliments I receive and the happiness I feel inside now radiate to the outside.

Thank you, Francesco, for giving me my life back.

Sincerely,

Julie Neubauer

Hello Francesco,

It has been a LONG time since I wrote to you, I think. I wanted to write and tell you how things are going for me and Fat Vanish.

This is about the 6 week mark for me. I have to say I am very pleased. I had a couple of weeks where I was on the road unexpectedly and that SERIOUSLY complicates the regimen... but I was thrilled to see that in that time while I didn't make new progress, I also didn't lose ground - phew! I am beginning week 7, now and have the following to report:

Total weight loss: 5 kilos (11pounds)
Loss of 18cm on my "baby belly"
Loss of 14cm on my waist!

I am so happy - FINALLY I am taking off the fat! My husband is THRILLED!! ;)

Blessings to you, and I"ll be sure to keep you updated

Smiles,

Dear Francesco,

I just wanted to give you a quick update on my progress. I weighed myself at the 2 week mark, and I have lost 5 1/4 pounds! And to be honest with you, I have "cheated" a few times, and haven't been exercising as much as I should . . . so I am thrilled with my progress so far! Your program really does work! It's very easy to follow. Now I've got the motivation to keep it going. I can't wait to get into my "skinny" clothes again! Thanks so much!

Sincerely,

Hi Francesco,

Im excited to see what the next 14days will bring and so on. Im hoping to lose another 20lbs of fat, and gain some muscle. Im sure I will make that goal, thanks again for your help, your response and assistance thru email really made a difference for me.

Dear Francesco,

I have been on this program now for 8 days and I have lost 10 pounds!!! Within the 8 days I lost not only 10 pounds but also an inch off my waist and an inch off my hips!! I also lost 1/4 inch off my arms! As soon as I can get some before/after pictures made, I will send them to you.

I am just excited that I am actually seeing results!! I am down 1 pant size and I look forward to dropping more. I really appreciate the support and feed back to any of my concerns that I might have. Thanks again!!!

Francesco,

I have to say that the fatvanish program worked great for me. I'm 35, and got into a "Biggest Loser" contest with some friends and relatives and in 9 weeks lost 45 lbs. I was working out hard and was very faithful to the diet (other then an anniversary dinner and a trip to Hawaii) but even with those distractions the diet plan worked wonders. I went from a 44 pants to 38's. I only wish I had taken before and after pictures to send you. I went from 278 to 233. Needless to say losing that much weight has caused some fun dilemmas like getting new work clothes and bothering my pregnant wife who is 8 months along and only gaining while I got semi-skinny again.

Speaking of work, everyone has noticed the loss and are curious to find out my "secret". I thought there was some kind of referral program but wasn't sure how that worked or if I should just send them to the website. Thank you for the plan because I am sure losing the weight will add many years of healthy living to my life.

Francesco,

I recently went for a glucose tolerance test and passed with very good numbers. The fasting glucose before ingesting the sugar drink was down to 103 this time. I have to assume that the 127 reading 2 months ago was somehow flawed and my actual glucose level dropped from it's usual 110 - 112 to 103 which is what I expected with the diet, exercise and resulting weight loss.

From the first of the year up until the first week of May I was following the Fat Vanish #6 diet, doing aerobics 5-7x/wk and doing biceps,triceps,chest press, chest flies and stomach crunches 2x/wk. This resulted in a 28-29 lb loss and about 5" in the waist. We did a lot of vacationing in May. While on vacation I didn't exercise at all, ate whatever I wanted, and drank much more alcohol than usual. In between trips I would get back to the diet and just now am getting back to exercising. I'm surprised but elated to say that even though I gained a pound or two here and there, they came right off once I got back on the diet/exercise routine. This is a true testament to your methods.

Francesco,

I have been on the Fat Vanish™ program for 1 month. I am very pleased with the results. I have lost 17 lbs. and 2 inches around my stomach. The meal plan is very satisfying, and I know I am eating much healthier. I enjoy it and it seems to be working great.

When I started the Fat Vanish™ program, my beginning weight was 268 pounds and my waist was 45 inches. After only three months I now weigh 219 pounds and have lost 6.5 inches off my waist. I have already exceeded my goal weight by 6 pounds and I did it in half the time I expected. I have adjusted my goal weight down to 200 pounds, and I know that it won't take me very long to get there. I have been very consistent with your instructions and I believe it has paid off tremendously.

I think my favorite part of the whole program is that I can implement it on a permanent basis. The problem with "fad" diets is that no one spends the rest of their life drinking only grapefruit juice and weight loss shakes while eating scarce amounts of food to starve themselves down a few pounds. Your program works for people who truly desire to lose fat and adopt an all around healthier lifestyle. I'm really convinced the program works and I give God all the glory.

I'm a 19-year-old college student, and I've been overweight since the day I was born. With your course, I'm finally able to turn my life around. As a student, I don't have much money lying around, so I didn't bother buying a scale. I weighed myself for the first time at the gym today, and I was amazed with what I saw. In the 8 weeks I've been on your program, my waist has dropped from 37 to 33.5 inches and my weight has declined from 190 to 174 lbs. I've actually lost more fat weight than that, however, because of the muscle I've added to my body. I've been overweight for 19 years, and one of the most gratifying things about losing weight is watching the fat melt off of everything -- my face, my arms, my chest, my legs. My clothes are becoming looser and looser... You get the picture. Sorry to ramble on, but it's very cool to be getting thinner. I'm really looking forward to impressing my family when I see them in two months!

Thanks for everything. Every time I look in the mirror, I look better. I hope everything is as good for you as it is for me.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm down to 148 pounds (from 190) and I've gone from 37 inches around the middle to about 29. I hope you can keep helping people like you've helped me. I'm so much more self-confident now, and I just look SO much better. Of course, the downside is that I have to buy lots of clothes, because I look like a clown in the stuff I was wearing before. Oh well -- that's one expense I'm grateful for.

Francesco,

I never did send you an update of my progress in Fat Vanish. When I started six and a half months ago, my waist size was 40, and my weight was 189. Currently, my waist is 29 3/4, and my weight is 157. Other than my Krav Maga martial arts classes, I really haven't been working out. Although I need to if I ever expect to move to the next level and have an actual beach body-caliber physique. But your diet by itself has worked wonders. I didn't think I could ever fit into size 32 pants again, and now I am fitting into size 30! Thanks again, and I will send you another update when results warrant.

Francesco,

I started your program about a month ago, and have achieved results I never thought possible in that amount of time! I never knew i could eat so much and lose weight. But after reading the part of your program about how the body goes into starvation mode, it all makes sense now. So far I have only followed the diet portion, but now I am ready to start a workout.

Let me start by saying your program has helped me greatly. So far I have lost 30 pounds, without taking a single pill, or drinking a single shake. I've been eating real food, and now I see that this is possible without supplements.

Thanks again for the help!!

I meant to write a while ago, but have not been able to. I wanted to let you know that your program is helpful far beyond the realm of fat loss. For years I was a smoker. I know, the worst thing anyone could ever do. When I started your program, I smoked, but because of the words you wrote on pages 3 and 4 of the fatvanish book, I was able to quit. Particularly the phrase 'exercising the virtue of patience-it's a virtual key to success'. For the past 6 months I have been smoke free, and again, without the use of any supplement. All by myself. The right inspiration is the most powerful tool.

Unfortunately recent family matters have occupied so much of my time that I was unable to follow the program. (illnesses, deaths, other matters of emotional distress),. But today I am jumping back on board to continue my success. while off the program I noticed a gain in fat, and I will not settle for this! For so many years my friends were cigarettes, beer, and whiskey. Now my friends are chicken, fish, oranges and oatmeal.

One last thing. I found a way to not only incorporate cardio into my day, but also brighten my day. I got a dog. Every day we jog for 30 minutes, and on weekends we run around the park for an hour or so. This is such a great form of exercise. Plus, it's been said pets tend to put people in more positive moods, therefore making it easier to achieve their goals. I've noticed an incredible difference.

Fell free to post my message on your website. If so much as one of your clients is able to use it for motivation, then it makes it well worth the time it took to write it, and the time it takes for you to add it. Like you said, your words were a mere catalyst, as mine will hopefully be. Without a catalyst, there will never be a fire.

I hope business is going well for you, and I wish you luck in all future endeavors.

Francesco:

Just wanted to give you an update on the progress I have made thus far. It has been 4 weeks since I started your program and so far I have eliminated 2 inches from my waist and dropped 20 pounds. Needless to say I am very enthused with the results so far. I plan to continue to my ultimate goal of 5 inches and 45 pounds reduction.

A little history just so you know how I found your web site. I like yourself, am a Christian and give praise to God Almighty every day. When I first saw your site I knew God led me to it. I admire your conviction and honesty towards recognizing the Lord in your literature . In this day and age more of us should do the same. Anyway, thank you for the start towards a new me, keep up the Good work and Good fight. God Bless.

Happy to let you know that results are showing after my first 30 days on your program. I have lost 3 inches off my waist and dropped 11 pounds of FAT. I'm feeling great, and have more energy than I know what to do with.

Thanks to your plan, vision, and motivation, I'm on the way to a new me!

I just completed my 8th week on your program. To date, I am happy to report the following results: 5 inches of fat have vanished from my waist. I have lost a total of 19 pounds of fat, and can't tell you enough how great I feel! People are starting to notice the difference.

Dale Kelley

I just want to thank you. I have been overweight my whole life and since starting Fat Vanish™ I am seeing results. I have been on it approximately 3 weeks and lost around 13 pounds. Due to having a newborn baby at home I have to help my wife a lot, but if I dont go to the gym, I swim for half hour. I have more energy and actually feel lighter.

I hope other people will read this and see that it DOES work!

Francesco,

I received the Fat Vanish™ program about 1 month ago, and am now in the 5th week of practicing it. When I began, I weighed 280 lbs. At my first measurement (last Sunday) since beginning I now weigh 268 lbs. I also have much more energy, sleep much better, and perhaps most importantly, have a hope that at long last I have found the right path to permanently regain my health and appropriate weight. For that I thank you, and I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for leading me to your website. You are literally the answer to my prayers.

In gratitude,

Your Fat Vanish program has helped me so much. I've gone from a 43 inch waist (6'0 tall) down to 37 1/2. I'm guessing I've still got about 3-4 more weeks to go before I'm the way I want. I recently bought a bathing suit about a month ago and it was somewhat snug. Now, its barely staying on. Im seeing results every two weeks as Im supposed to.

Your system is THE ONLY ONE that I've EVER been this dedicated to. I tried using some personal trainers plans, some "quick reference" style eating plans on the net, and even looked at Atkins. With your plan, I now actually look forward to getting up 2 hours prior to going to work and running/jogging for 30-45 minutes. Even when I'm finished with my 8 hour work day, I'm anxious to go running/jogging. I would have NEVER done that or been so enthusiastic about doing that come 3-4 months ago. Your eating style has become so natural to me now that I turn down foods that I would normally stuff my belly full of because it was sooooo good. Granted, I still do drive thru once in a while but I don't feel guilty about it and I eat a fraction of the amount that I used to (I cant even finish a meal anymore when I do go for drive thru!). I've even got a story about Atkins plan that I heard from a friend just recently. A lady & her boyfriend (friends of mine, heard about this 1st hand) went on the Atkins plan (who only needed to lose maybe 10 lbs each, they weren't overweight at all) and they CONSTANTLY complained about feeling very hungry, dizzy, and lack of energy. Needless to say, they were on it for like 3 days.

Once again, thanks sooooo much for this AMAZING plan. It has changed my whole attitude on life. Soon I'll actually be going to the beach, public pools, friends pools without feeling self-conscious about what people think of my appearance.

It is with great pleasure that I advocate the Fat Vanish program.

I managed to shed 3 inches off my waist in the first month, a further three inches off in the second month and now having just finished the third month have lost a further inch, my waist size is now 32.5 inches....and needless to say I am very happy with the results !!!

At 28 years old and standing 5ft 11 inches tall I had developed a rather ugly mid section over the space of two years. Very unhappy with this situation and at the end of my patience with fad diets and exercise programs I turned to Francesco, suddenly all the dietary and exercise advice made sense....I had to give it a go.

Thanks Francesco, finally a program that covers all aspects of fat loss truthfully and thoroughly, and does get results.

Francesco,

My name is Kedar and stumbled on to Franceso's Fat Vanish program's website around middle of last year. Just like many out there, I was searching for an effective way to lose weight and keep it off. I had tried the fad diets, supplements, pills, etc. to lose weight to only yo-yo and have it come back or lose mostly water weight. I was drawn Franceso's program because the wealth of information that he provides on the website about nutrition and food intake along with the importance of excerise. The information seemed real, pratical and it made sense of how we're disillusioned by all so hyped weight loss programs that we are bombarded with, which don't really lead to a sustainable long-term healthy weight/fat loss. However, still being not completely sold and being vegetarian, I decided to email Francesco to get more information about this program and confirm if vegetarians can also use this. I got a prompt and very informative email from Francesco outlining many things and how I can also use this program to acheive fat loss.

So, I had gone ahead and ordered the Fat Vanish Program. Let me tell you, this was one of the best investments of my life. I went through the manual and composed my meal plan accordingly based on the samples provided. The program is just awesome as it makes you so much more knowledgeable about nutrition and exercise and of course what you have to eat! I ended up losing around 20 (fat) pounds within 1-2 months on this program and that was with minimal exercise! The results are very much real and I had to get my dress pants altered as I lost inches off my waist. If you follow this program, you'll see the fat melt off your body, increase your metabolism and see noticeable results. I felt great, full of energy and got compliments from others as they noticed the weight reduction too. I would HIGHLY recommend this program to everyone wanting to lose weight, whether its 20 pounds or 200 pounds. Thank you Franceso for helping my family and I transform our lives.

I wanted to drop you a line telling you the results of the system. So far, in one month, I've lost 6 pounds! It was utterly difficult for me to lose fat before, but it seems to be melting off now. I never realized how much fat one carries on their body. At this rate, I will have reached my goal in 10 weeks ... that's amazing! Your course is everything you say it is!

In about eight weeks I've lost 11 lbs. of fat using your course! I dropped from over 16% bodyfat to 11.5% - my abs are finally poking through, and the beer belly has shrunk dramatically. People are starting to notice that I've lost weight, even when I'm wearing clothes.

Now: 230lbs
Goal: 199lbs (my initial personal goal)

By the way Francesco - before you add my comments to your site, you may want to add that, as well as losing 56lbs so far - I’ve also lost 9 inches around my waist!!!!!!! - People seem to always say "wow" to that stat hehehe :) Here in the UK, you tell them "i’ve lost 4 stone" and they say "oh very good" then you say "and 9 inches around my waist" and they all go "wow" hehehe!

Just to let you know that I had my heart health assessed today by the doctor and in the 7 months I have been on the Fat Vanish plan, my resting heart rate has now dropped an amazing 21 beats per minute (74 bpm to 53 bpm)!!!!!

Now, If God determines that you are only getting so many heartbeats in your lifetime - then i’ve just extended my life by years!!!!!! - How can you put a price on that?

Thanks mate - don't know what to say - im almost speechless!!!!

Francesco,

I couldn't devote fully to the plan, but keeping the concepts in mind and taking things day by day, I went from 250+ pounds to 223 pounds making it 2 months this past week that I actually started watching what I ate (27+ pounds lost). I can't thank you enough for that. I've got more expenses headed my way, as I can't keep my pants up at all. One thing I'm particularly proud of is my belt. Before I used to just squeeze into that last notch, now I'm on the very first notch and will most likely be needing a new, and more importantly, smaller, belt. People have taken notice and the compliments and overall feeling of being healthier has made me happier than anything else. I'm hoping to break the 200 lbs. barrier but I don't mind where I am right now. 223 lbs. fit my 6'2" frame better than 250+ lbs. and even though I'm just 18 years old, I feel like I'm starting a new life. Thanks again.

Although it took many months of experimentation with various ideas and theories, I thankfully produced an effective, realistic diet and exercise plan (exercise is optional, but does enhance the rate of fat loss) which has a dramatic impact on both appearance and health. Rather than wasting all of the time and effort experimenting on yourself, benefit from my vast knowledge, and current success.

• EXACTLY how to eat and exercise for rapid, permanent weight loss.
• EXACTLY how to achieve a firm stomach (abs), hips, thighs, arms, buttocks, etc. (You'll need nothing more than the course)
• Diet techniques that not only burn fat, but also improve ALL aspects of health (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, etc).
• Effective toning exercises that you can perform AT HOME, without equipment.
• EXACTLY how long to exercise for quick fat loss -- it's MUCH less than what you may think!
• Which foods encourage fat loss, and which don't.
• How many meals per day are necessary for a proper fat burning metabolism.
• If dietary fat makes you fat.
• How protein and carbohydrates are vital to the fat burning process and what quantities of each to consume.
• Why carbohydrates, when used incorrectly, will PREVENT fat loss!
• Why the high fat diet is counterproductive and VERY DANGEROUS!
• Why muscle plays a VITAL role in the fat burning process, and how to take advantage of this factor WITHOUT becoming a bodybuilder or building large muscles (for those wishing to build noticeable muscle mass while losing fat, visit www.MuscleNOW.com)
• How to ensure that weight loss is in the form of FAT and NOT muscle.
• How to accurately assess your progress and adjust accordingly for CONTINUOUS fat loss!
• How to space meals for a metabolic surge -- you'll eliminate more fat at REST than you currently burn during exercise!
• How to PERMANENTLY MAINTAIN FAT LOSS using my simple, enjoyable diet routine.
• How WATER contributes to the fat loss process, and how avoiding this vital nutrient can actually PREVENT one from achieving results.
• How to achieve muscle tone WITHOUT building muscle mass.
• The SIMPLE, STEP-BY-STEP meal planning system that allows VARIATION, ENJOYMENT, and FLEXIBILITY, while producing QUICK, CONSISTENT WEIGHT LOSS!
• How to ENHANCE MOTIVATION and CONTROL IMPULSES through REALISTIC diet and exercise techniques -- FLEXIBILITY AND SIMPLICITY ARE KEYS IN PRODUCING AN EVERLASTING PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION!
• ...plus MUCH more!

In addition, the book is extremely easy to read, using plain English and not obscure "health" talk or cryptic terminology. You'll learn, step-by-step, exactly how to eat and exercise for quick, permanent weight loss. STEP-BY-STEP IS KEY, as I don't leave ANY item to chance.

After wasting so much money purchasing garbage supplements, I now know it's simply the proper DIET routine that strips fat -- those that have experienced permanent weight loss will agree.

I spent years, money, and effort developing the Fat Vanish™ program, testing various techniques and theories on myself in hopes of achieving eventual success. If I can convince people to STOP PAYING INFLATED PRICES TO FUEL AN INDUSTRY FULL OF FALSE PROMISES (SUPPLEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT) and TEACH THEM THAT PROPER DIET AND EXERCISE PRODUCES PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS, then everything I've done is well worth the effort. Even if you don't purchase my program, ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT YOU'VE JUST READ -- AVOID WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT, as they are a total WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

The course is over 70 full size (8 1/2 x 11 inch) pages of diet and training knowledge that provides all of the necessary techniques to burn FAT from all areas (including those most troublesome). In essence, I'll become your LIFETIME personal trainer (while others charge $80 PER HOUR, I include lifetime coaching with Fat Vanish at no additional charge to you). Ask any question, plus learn everything necessary for rapid weight loss. Here's more:

Remember, I provide 70 full size (8 1/2 x 11 inch) pages of step-by-step, easy to understand information that WORKS in eliminating ANY level of excess body weight, LIFETIME UNLIMITED FREE personal training where you can ask me (the author) ANY AND ALL questions regarding diet and exercise, and $20 for EACH referral! Remember, I include a 90 day 100% UNCONDITIONAL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, which allows you to test drive the weight loss system RISK FREE.

Nonetheless, you're going to learn exactly how to achieve ALL of your weight loss goals the SMART way. I've lost 10 inches in waist size and 50 pounds of FAT using PROPER DIET / EXERCISE ONLY, as all supplementation has proven fruitless. Effective diet and exercise techniques produce rapid, consistent, PERMANENT results, and this is a fact supplement companies refuse to admit (for obvious reasons). After trying many ideas and strategies, I've come up with a program that allows you to finally win the weight loss battle!

YES! Since you can consume nearly any food and may implement "cheat" days at strategic intervals (if you wish), this is not only a realistic weight loss routine, but due to its very sound carbohydrate, protein, and fat structure, you will want to follow my recommendations to construct all future meals, even after all excess weight is lost. The diet is NOT radical, does not prohibit consumption of protein, carbohydrates, or fat, and in fact contains no controversial techniques (yet is extremely effective). It is not high in fat, and concentrates on natural foods suitable to either the meat eater or vegetarian/vegan. Anybody can follow this routine! Simply the proper combinations to produce consistent, permanent weight loss, while enhancing energy levels and improving long term health. You are unable to reduce body fat due to lack of proper diet/exercise techniques and NOT genetic predisposition -- following the Fat Vanish™ system will not only allow you to consistently burn fat, but also improve overall health.

It is actually beneficial that you follow my dietary recommendations for life, as it will not only enhance physical appearance, but also control blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and enhance immune system function (my clients have documented blood pressure and cholesterol improvements, and even cessation of medication for these issues). The problem with common fad diet routines is their radical nature, which makes them unsafe and impossible to follow long term. My recommendations are quite the opposite, and will ensure long term health for all age groups (families can follow my diet routine with success and enjoyment).

As for consistency -- once you begin achieving results, dedication naturally follows. If in 2 weeks you are not witnessing changes, the diet is flawed in some way, and it is best you look for an alternate solution (as motivation will immediately vanish during periods of lackluster physical improvement). Those who follow my program
