True story:
Once upon a time, I was Very Fat.
Not quite a full blown hamplanet, but I was very much headed in that direction with the way I was eating and living.
It was a problem I was able to sort out with relatively little fuss and hassle (literally lifting weights for a couple of hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) while eating mostly a bog-standard bodybuilder-style diet (chicken, rice, broccoli, etc.).
Although, to be fair, I attribute a lot of that ease to my personal circumstances at the time (I was 20 and on a gap year with no responsibilities aside from turning up to agency shifts at times of my choice no more than thrice weekly).
As much as I would love to say I lived happily shredded ever after, that is not the case.
Far from it.
See, when you’re fat you seriously (and potentially irreparably) damage your body in manifold and horrible ways. The visible stuff like loose skin and postural problems are bad enough. Worse, though, are the invisible changes. Notably, the endocrine disruption and, of course, the awful attitude towards food.
The result?
A perpetual battle against the bulge in almost all cases.
It’s not a battle you can win, at least not all the time, so you can expect to put back on some or maybe even a lot of what you bust a gut to shift eventually.
Weight (re)gain is something that’s happened to me more often than I care to remember, most recently from probably last autumn ‘til around late spring this year.
Believe it or not, this recent bloating was actually part of what prompted me to bin off my gym membership, so I had no option but to do a tonne of bodyweight, conditioning, and GPP work (like a lot of fatties, I neglect this in favour of lifting weights), per what I teach in “Bodyweight Buccaneer”.
But that alone was still not enough.
It got some of the fat off, but not as much as I or, indeed, Jess would have liked.
Speaking of Jess, one morning, as I was getting out of the shower she decreed I needed to “winnow” my middle.
And so, I really upped the ante; re-introducing relatively heavy weightlifting alongside long(ish) runs, bodyweight work, and some other bits and pieces into what is by far the most demanding training regime I have ever created (most effective, too; at least insofar as fat loss is concerned).
I called it “Operation: Winnow” in honour of the firm kick up the backside my thin, attractive wife gave me.
If you want the system, the best way to get your hands on it is to subscribe to The Phil Tyreman Letter before the deadline (31/10 at 23:59) because it is the subject of November’s very special monster-sized (52 versus the usual 20ish page) special edition.
I will be selling Operation: Winnow as a standalone book at some point. And when I do, it will retail for many, many times the £20 you’ll pay as a Phil Tyreman Letter subscriber.
It’s an almost derisory sum, considering what you’re getting.
Something else to consider if you are on the fence is the subscription fee might be going up as well in the not too distant future, depending on what misery Rachael from accounts decides to foist upon us in the November budget.
If this happens, you won’t be affected.
To be clear: I’m not saying I WILL put the price up, only that it’s one option I am considering pending what financial tomfoolery comes our way. So I don’t recommend you make your choice based on this factor alone – it’s just something to think about.
Anyway, if you would like to become a subscriber, here’s what to do now:
1) Read the letter and/or listen to the audio at the below URL
2) Pay before the cart closes at the deadline
3) Wait for your bonus book and first newsletter
