			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I apologize for being absent the past while.  It&#8217;s been a busy last couple months, and in January&#8230;well, all hell breaks loose in January if you work in the weight loss industry.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s that time of year where everyone has made a resolution to lose weight and transform their bodies. And it&#8217;s the time of year where the internet is FLOODED with new diet strategies.</p>
<p>Some Crazy, Some Foolish, Some Dangerous&#8230;and a couple of gems.</p>
<p>It is also the time of year where all the new Transformation Contests start.</p>
<p>As you can imagine <strong>Transformation Contests + New fad diets = Recipe for diet disaster, horrible rebounds and feelings that you just can&#8217;t do it.</strong></p>
<p>So, in order to do our part for helping prevent the fad crash diet mess from happening to you, John Barban and I have created a complete guide to PROPERLY managing your way through a body transformation. (This is why I haven&#8217;t been around much)</p>
<p>Because I&#8217;ll be honest &#8211; this is the one time you CAN diet wrong. You CAN lose muscle and you CAN make yourself tired, lethargic and miserable.</p>
<p>It happens when your body fat levels become very low (We&#8217;re talking 6 pack low). In this state&#8230;you really can mess up dieting.</p>
<p>Consider a man at roughly 5% body fat who decided to try fasting and dieting, while working out 6 days a week and ends up feeling tired, lethargic&#8230;and well, lousy the whole time.</p>
<p>What did he expect? Was his goal 0% body fat??!!!</p>
<p>To be honest, I think most of the weird stuff people do when dieting &#8211; carb cycling, fat loading, cheat days, crazy workouts -are all band-aid solutions covering the fact that they are dieting wrong.</p>
<p>Really, really wrong.</p>
<p>Mostly, it&#8217;s from taking advice from bodybuilders on steroids &#8211; you know the guys and girls who are already insanely RIPPED, but still do 2 hours of cardio a day for the weeks before their contest, just so they can be ultra-mega-insanely RIPPED. (HINT- natural people can&#8217;t do this, not without losing a little muscle, and generally feeling like they are perpetually hung over)</p>
<p>Look &#8211; when you start to get really really lean, things start to change&#8230;and this is when you can mess up a diet, especially when you fall prey to the more-is-better mentality.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t a departure from Eat Stop Eat in anyway &#8211; I actually consider this an add-on to ESE for people who want a bit more structure and who are trying to win a contest and want to make sure they don&#8217;t mess up during the final weeks.</p>
<p>And since I know that some people just need a tiny bit more structure when they are dieting  John and I have put together a guide on how to do it right.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve called it the <strong>Transformation Diet Plan</strong>, and it&#8217;s based on the <strong>Reverse Taper Diet Protocol</strong> and the <strong>Theory of Fat Availability</strong>. Two things you need to know if you actually want to make it through a diet and not feel (and possible look horrible)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the deal.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">There are two versions of the Transformation Diet (one for women and one for men)</span></strong></p>
<p>They are now available for individual purchase,<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> but only until Friday night at midnight.</span></strong></p>
<p>The Reason:</p>
<p>Simple, we only want about 500 people tops in on this first round so we can get your feedback and make the necessary additions and changes if need be before we release it to the general public&#8230;.As you know, sometimes you need to be fluent in &#8220;Pilon&#8221; to understand me <img src='http://bradpilon.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt="icon wink Transformation Diet Plan" class='wp-smiley' title="Transformation Diet Plan" /> ??</p>
<p>So we&#8217;re doing a test run right now&#8230; and won&#8217;t likely put this back out until April or May (depending on how much fine tuning we need to do).</p>
<p>Okay, that&#8217;s the deal, here&#8217;s what you get&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>- You get a very concise manual about how everything works and how to use the software.</strong></p>
<p>Yep, we&#8217;ve got some crazy new software, which tells you exactly:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*Your Ideal Waist Measurement,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*Your Ideal Shoulder Measurement,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*Your most Likely &#8216;Target&#8217; Weight,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*Your maximal fat loss per week,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*How many calories you should eat per day,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*How many fasts you&#8217;re &#8220;allotted&#8221; per week,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*What your estimated weekly change will be</p>
<p>And as part of the first group to get your hands on it it&#8217;s almost <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">50% off</span></strong> this week. The discounted rate is part of the deal on our side, the part we want from you is feedback on how it&#8217;s working for you and what you&#8217;d like to see added/changed moving forward.</p>
<p>So the deal is you get it for a big discount, and we get your input on how to make it better (and of course you get the new version with the upgrades you recommend for free when they&#8217;re ready)</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s the offer.</p>
<p>All in all, this is a very COOL product.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re thinking of attempting a transformation I feel it&#8217;ll be a great tool for you to succeed.</p>
<p>Point blank, I really don&#8217;t care WHICH transformation contest you are in &#8211; if you&#8217;re looking to lean down and possibly WIN a transformation contest WITHOUT losing lean mass, WITHOUT feeling lethargic and weak, and WITHOUT the crazy hassles of trying to figure out everything for yourself&#8230; this is for you.</p>
<p>If you just want to wing it, then it&#8217;s NOT for you. No biggie, just the truth.</p>
<p>And, if you&#8217;re not really looking to get super shredded&#8230;if you just want to get down to being beach ready and looking great then Eat Stop Eat is all you really need.</p>
<p>But, if you&#8217;re going for broke and trying to win a contest &#8211; <strong>Please do not do it without reading this manual first</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the &#8216;buy link&#8217; when you&#8217;re ready, really a drop in the bucket for the amount of sanity you&#8217;re getting ready to get back.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>SUPER IMPORTANT POINT ==&gt; The software is different for men and women &#8211; they use completely different algorithms, so please&#8230; make sure you get the RIGHT one.</strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Be careful with transformation photos&#8230;or really any physique photos for that matter.</p>
<p>By getting a tan, making sure your skin is well moisturized, shaving your body hair (guys) and getting a pump at the gym, you can easily make yourself look 10 pounds more muscular and 5 pounds less fat. This is very important when you are doing your Before and After photos.</p>
<p>To illustrate my point, I took these two pictures two days apart:</p>
<p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146580079467361538" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: hand; text-align: center;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gEXGWBbJrqM/R2xTUITA9QI/AAAAAAAAAEg/Tn_ba_di8pE/s320/Before+%26+After.JPG" border="0" alt=" How to gain 10 pounds of muscle and lose 5 pounds of fat in only 2 days"  title="How to gain 10 pounds of muscle and lose 5 pounds of fat in only 2 days" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The picture on the left is just regular old me. I&#8217;m not fasted, and I&#8217;m not flexing. I&#8217;m 177 pounds and my normal body fat levels (Thanks to following the <a href="http://www.eatstopeat.com/">Eat Stop Eat lifestyle</a>). I&#8217;m not sticking my gut out, or trying to look miserable (although I took the pic at midnight so I do look a little tired).</p>
<p>The picture on the right is regular old me after a couple tanning sessions, a quick shave of the chest and one really good chest and shoulders workout. I&#8217;m still 177 pounds and the same amount of body fat that I was two days before in my before picture.</p>
<p>To keep this experiment honest I did not fast in-between shoots and the only workout I did was the one right before the photo on the right.</p>
<p>As I hope you can see, some well timed pre-photo prep work can do wonders for your before and after pics. And, it is very important that you take this into consideration when viewing any sort of before and after pics.  If I could do this in two days, imagine what could be done in 8 weeks.</p>
<p>BP</p>
<p>PS- Both these pics were taken in my house with regular lighting, if I really wanted to make the difference extreme I would have used better lighting in the after photo.</p>
<p>PPS- If you want to learn more about how I eat and the methods I use to stay in shape then check out <a href="http://www.eatstopeat.com/">www.eatstopeat.com</a> to learn more about <a href="http://www.eatstopeat.com/">fasting for weight loss</a></p>
