Boot Camp Weight Loss

A question I get asked all the time is:

“How much weight can I lose at Portland Boot Camp?”

Well, the answer might shock you.

Are you sitting down?

Ok, here goes.  I sincerely hope the answer is: NOT MUCH.

WHAT?

Hold on… hold on… let me explain.

Hopefully you will not lose too much weight… you will just shed FAT.  Big difference.

If you really want to lose WEIGHT… here’s how:

Go on a fad diet and just skip camp.  A lot of water and muscle will leave your body and the scale will go down.

You’ll feel good when you see the scale drop… but you will end up tired, soft, and weak.

The thing is, super rapid weight loss is never really FAT loss.  It is loss of muscle and water.

Even worse, after you finish a “crash diet” you will yo-you right back up… and then some.
It’s a vicious cycle that can break your will!

That’s what makes Portland Adventure Boot Camp different.  It’s about health, strength, endurance, and STEADY FAT loss.

Consider this…

After every camp there are always women who lost several dress sizes…
but the scale hardly budges!

What’s the deal?

The deal is, they have lost 3-12lbs of fat… but gained as much WEIGHT in pure muscle and stored water.

See, muscle and fat weigh about the same, but muscle takes up less space.  So the waistline goes down, but the scale doesn’t.

If you are heavy (say 250+), you might lose more fat than if you are fairly lean.  The healthy rule of thumb is: about 1-3lbs of pure fat per week.

I know what you are probably thinking…

“What about all those ads that claim 30lbs in a month?”

You should know the answer by now.  It’s water and muscle and MAYBE 5lbs of fat.

If you look at the bottom of the screen it says, “Results not typical. Individual results may vary. Results achieved with a combination of diet and exercise”

Enough said.

Fitness isn’t a destination, it’s a lifestyle.  Those advertising tricks are designed only to lighten your wallet.

Believe me, if a product came out that really could make you lose 30lbs of pure fat in only 4
weeks… it would make them an instant billionaire and put me and every other trainer on the
planet out of business the next morning!

Healthy and permanent fat loss takes patience, dedication, will power and a proper exercise program.

See you out there!

Cheers,

Daniel
