Make Drew Manning's spinach shake from new 'Fit2Fat2Fit' book

Trainer Drew Manning was on "The View" this morning explaining how he purposely gained 75 pounds to get a better feel for what his fitness clients had to face. He documents his journey in the book "Fit2Fat2Fit" HarperOne, $25.99), out today.

Manning, a trainer and fitness enthusiast, never had to struggle with his weight, so last May, he decided to put down the dumbbells, pick up the soda bottles and let himself go. He dumped his healthy diet for processed food, fast food, sodas, white bread and sugary cereals. A fat burning review can help you construct a clear summarize of what you require to focus on to carry out your fat reduction objective if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an advanced or more boost phase of their weight-loss program. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your special weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss courses have misled people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. In the first month, he packed on 20 pounds, which he says, shocked him.

He had only planned on gaining 40-50 pounds, but the weight gain was so rapid, he quickly gained 75 pounds in six months.

The next six months were devoted to losing the excess weight, which he outlines in his book, a pretty quick read for 233 pages. There are three stages to his eating plan:

• The Beginning: This ia a lower-calorie kickstart plan that focuses on fresh produce and lean protein.
• The Balance: This section is more for the long term and maintenance phase, adding in more carbs.
• The Breakthrough: This is a plateau breaker, which is similar to The Beginning but cranks up the protein.

He includes 18 recipes in the book, which include dishes such as Farmer's Breakfast Scramble, Caramelized Onion-Glazed Salmon, and Thai Turkey Skillet. And he also includes the following smoothie recipe, which impressed even vegetable-averse View co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
