Hey guys, it's time for this week's edition of fat burning foods, where we reveal some of our favorite meals and snacks to help you lose weight fast -- and all this without tasting like dirty cardboard...

That's right... contrary to popular belief, your fat loss diet plan doesn't have to make you feel starved or deprived of great tasting foods.  You just have to experiment a little and find some healthy food combinations that suit your palate.

For example, peep the following post-workout meal I made the other night...

I've got some fresh green beans, fat free cottage cheese and a big ole piece of salmon, topped with pesto sauce (which I certainly did NOT make from scratch, haha).  I had this about an hour after my Burst Bout strength training workout, which ended up being about nine o'clock at night.

The salmon provided a good amount of protein and lots of healthy fat (as did the olive oil-based pesto sauce); the cottage cheese provided my muscles with a slow-digesting casein protein while I slept; and the greens of course helped with digestion of this protein, plus helped to fill me up without costing me many calories.

To prepare the salmon, I drizzled just a tiny bit of olive oil on top, covered with tinfoil and threw it in the oven for about 60 minutes on 325...

A quick tip for those of you who think you can't afford salmon: make it a habit to grocery shop more frequently and buy the lean meats and fish that's just about to expire.  If it needs to be cooked within a day or so, guess what -- they hafta drop the price to get it sold.

You can actually eat like a king and save quite a bit of cash when you take advantage of this...

Oh, and while you'll usually hear me encouraging you to avoid sauces, condiments, seasonings, etc like the plague... one flavor enhancer that I do like to use occasionally is pesto sauce, which is basically basil leaves, olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese and a little bit of salt and pepper -- so all in all, it's fairly fat loss friendly (just don't overdo it).

Anyways, hope that helps give you some ideas for potential superfoods to incorporate into your fat burning diets.  Let me know in the comments section if you've got any cool recipes you'd like to share.

I'm back tomorrow with this week's last strength training workout, so we'll talk then.  Have an awesome night...

The only way to fight fat and transform your body into a shredded masterpiece is to eat lean body meal after lean body meal, until you finally become the product of your highly disciplined diet plan.

It's time to get you shredded like lettuce.  I'm talking ripped, sculpted, chiseled...the whole enchilada baby.  So you can be really, really, really ridiculously good looking (I love Zoolander, haha).

---> Of course, I'm going to let you indulge one day per week via a no holds barred cheat day.  This will actually help you to lose fat faster and keep your muscles looking full and hard.  In case you missed the detailed post on this controversial topic, you can read it here:  Cheat Day for rapid fat loss.

The only problem with following a "lean body meal plan" is that it can really start to become old news after a while.  Today I wanted to share another one of my favorite lean body meal recipes that I use to get shredded, without having to sacrifice taste.

I like to make this dish for lunch on the same day that I have my protein pancakes for breakfast.  This has to be a day where you're going to attack a total body weight workout like your life depends on it.

Why?  Because even though this is a normal day of lower calorie, clean eating, it will be higher in carbs than all of my other non-cheat days.  Although we're using complex, high fiber carbohydrate sources, we'll still want to make the best use of these carbs by beating up our muscles with an intense strength training workout.

This way we can be sure the carbs are used for muscle repair and not stored as fat.  This is a cool little strategy that kind of, sort of DOES allow you to build muscle AND lose fat at the same time.  I'll be coaching you through some of these more technical fat loss strategies in the TopFatLossTrainer Inner Circle, which will be going live shortly.

---> On a side note, thanks to everyone for your interest in joining the Inner Circle.  I have all your names on the waiting list, which will guarantee you a spot when I open it up in a couple of weeks.

Back to our lean body meal recipe...like I said, you should make this on a heavy and intense weight training day (preferably 90 minutes before or after your workout) to maximize lean muscle growth and eliminate the chance of fat storage.

---> LEAN BODY MEAL:  Turkey Spaghetti, Cheesy Broccoli and Salad

---> Here's what you'll need:

2 oz dry whole wheat spaghetti noodles

4 oz 99% lean ground turkey

2 tbsp chopped onion

1 tsp fresh minced garlic

1/2 cup Italian style canned tomatoes (no salt added)

1/2 cup frozen broccoli

1 tsp Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup diced avocado and red bell pepper

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

---> Here's how to make it:

Boil 2 cups of water in a large pot, add spaghetti noodles, reduce heat and cook for about 10 minutes (or until desired consistency)

Cook turkey, onion and garlic in nonstick skillet over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink (about 5 minutes or so)

Add tomatoes and continue cooking over low heat for another 5 minutes

Cook broccoli in microwave according to directions on bag, then add cheese and allow to melt

Toss avocado and bell pepper with vinegar

When spaghetti noodles are done, top with turkey tomato sauce, add your broccoli with melted cheese and avocado and bell pepper as your 'sides' and enjoy

---> Here's what you're getting:

Calories: 500  /  Protein: 33 grams  /  Carbs: 55 grams  /  Fat: 20 grams

What I love about this lean body meal is that it actually feels like you're eating something.  It's nice to have a complete meal once in a while (with a main dish and a couple of sides), rather than tiny snacks that make you feel like you're starving.

At the same time you're only taking in 500 calories total, so it doesn't throw a wrench in your plan to get shredded.  It takes me about 20 minutes from start to finish to whip all this up, but if you have the time I think you'll dig this lean body meal big time.

Speaking of getting shredded, it's time to practice what I preach and hit the weights for a total body workout.

That's it for today.  I'm out like a scout on a new route.

Your Coach,

Brad Campbell

The first thing I think about when someone says “Shakira” is a toned body with great curves and a pair of hips that definitely don’t lie (pun intended).  Someone told me Shakira sings too…go figure.

All jokes aside though, Shakira’s got a banging body that girls should be using for inspiration.  If you had to pick a female celebrity’s body to model your own personal transformation after, Shakira’s toned and curvy physique would be a great choice.

Although she doesn’t give a lot of specific details when asked about her workouts, Shakira has been known to add circuit weight training, on top of all the dancing, to sculpt her famous belly-dancing figure.

To look like Shakira, you’ll want to work hard to slim down your waistline as much as possible.  Remember, a knockout body is all about perception and illusion.

Granted, genetics will play a role in how your body takes shape to some extent, but to get hips like Shakira…the best thing you can do is follow a workout plan that will narrow your waist.

With a smaller and firmer stomach, your hips will naturally look curvier.  Not that it’s a problem for most women, but you also want to make sure you don’t get too lean.  The trick for women is to get ‘just tone enough.’

For guys, I think being lean and ripped is the only way to go, but for girls I like to see a little bit of curves.  Shakira has perfected this.

Obviously, to look like a female celebrity who spends so much time dancing, you should consider enrolling in your own local dance class.  Dancing is an excellent way to burn lots of calories and helps tone your body…and best of all, you don’t even realize how hard you’re working.

I have to admit, I’ve always liked dancing and although I’m not that good…I can still own most wedding receptions, haha.  You can check out an embarrassing video clip of me getting funky right here ---> Brad Campbell (musta been listening to She Wolf)

On top of using my advanced fat-burning workouts and spending lots of time dancing, I’d also recommend doing a variety of specific strength training exercises that will help to shape your butt, tummy and thighs to match Shakira.

Here’s a body weight exercise you can do to give you a booty that will make guys drool ---> Get a Shakira Booty (scroll down to the 2^nd video on this page…lying hip extensions)

Shakira’s diet is a no-brainer.  Like any lean bodied female celebrity, you’ll need to keep the carbs, unhealthy fats, and alcohol to a minimum.

Save this crap for your one weekly cheat day, where you can enjoy it guilt-free and burn more fat at the same time.

As always, the bulk of your diet on all other days should be centered on lean protein sources, as many vegetables as you can handle and a select amount of fresh fruit.

To carve your own toned and curvy body like Shakira, you absolutely MUST follow an appropriate lean body diet.

Hope everyone liked my Shakira workout/diet celebrity review article.  Here's another cool thing I want to give you -- my friend wrote a very a controversial report on womens' fat loss... sign up below to get instant access (it's 100% FREE, don't worry):

After reviewing many other celebrity workout routines and being totally bummed by the generic, outdated and ridiculous excuses for workout plans they were using to get lean and sexy for the camera...I finally found one that is "advanced fat loss approved."

I'm talking about action movie bad ass, Jason Statham, who reportedly performed his own stunts and fight scenes in The Transporter, Crank, The Bank Job, War, Death Race and Snatch.  If you've seen any of those adrenaline-filled flicks, I'm sure you just gained massive respect for Jason Statham.

Okay, now that you know about those two killer body transformation resources, let's take a look at the Jason Statham workout and diet plan that helped him to lose 17 lbs of fat in just 6 weeks...

Jason Statham's Workout Routine:

--> You know it's an effective workout regimen when the actor himself uses words such as:  brutal, nauseating, nightmare and horrible to describe the training sessions...of course, all of these words were preceded by an f-bomb in the interview I was listening to.

--> Apparently, Statham trained with a former Navy Seal named Logan Hood, who concocted this comprehensive workout routine.  They hit it hard 6 days per week for about 35 minutes per session and rested on Sundays.

--> Statham religiously followed two main principles:  1) every workout was at least slightly different from the previous one and 2) everything was recorded in detail, including weights used, times for active and recovery periods, etc.

--> Each workout consisted of 3 primary stages that progressively increased in 'suckiness':

1) a 10-minute warm-up using the Concept 2 Rowing Machine, which is easy on the joints, raises core temperature and prepares all muscle groups for the upcoming work ahead.

2) next is 10-minutes of moderate intensity work that is always varied and may include:  medicine ball throws, kettlebell circuits, 'farmer walk' type of exercises (carrying heavy shit while walking, like sandbags or dumbbells), circuit weight training or heavy compound strength training lifts.

3) the last phase is interval training, which again varies slightly every workout, but would look something like this:  8 pull-ups, 20 medicine ball slams, 20 weighted step-ups, 20 hanging knee raises, 20 barbell squats and 20 burpees.  All 6 exercises are performed back-to-back without rest, until you complete each movement in the circuit.  Rest briefly and repeat for up to 5 circuits total.

My thoughts on Jason Statham's Workout:

Finally...I found a celebrity who followed a top notch workout routine to lose fat and get ripped.  I'm guessing his trainer was forced to give him a REAL workout, because he actually needed to lose 17 lbs of fat that had crept up on him...as opposed to most celebs, who are already lean and tone to begin with and therefore can get away with using half-ass workout programs to look great (assuming their diet is dialed in).

Jason's workout was super successful in sculpting his body because it was based around some outstanding fat loss principles.  For example, his workouts were kept short and intense (unlike the marathon sessions we saw with other celebrities, such as Megan Fox's Workout or LL Cool J's Workout) to maximize the post-workout fat burning effects.

Statham relied entirely on heavy, compound weight training, grueling circuits and intense intervals to pack on lean muscle mass and turn his body into a fat-melting machine.  These strategies are on point with my advanced fat loss tips I discussed in this post:  7 Ways to Torch Body Fat Faster.  Sweetness...now that we've found a celebrity workout worth following, let's check out his diet plan...

Jason Statham's Diet Plan:

--> Jason credits his rapid weight loss success mainly to his strict diet plan, which ended up being around 2,000 calories per day.

--> He avoided refined sugars, flour, breads, pastas and booze like they were incurable STD's =)

--> Just like with his workout routine, Statham recorded everything he put into his mouth.  This makes it literally impossible to screw it up...and if he wasn't losing enough fat, it'd be easy to figure out why.

--> He drank a boatload of water and consumed 6 small meals per day, focusing on the typical lean body foods, like egg whites, veggies, lean meats, whey protein shakes, raw nuts and fish.  Desert would often include fat free yogurt with mixed fruit added for flavor.

My thoughts on Jason Statham's Diet Plan:

Proven to be effective time and time again, the typical bodybuilder's diet is definitely the safe way to go when you're serious about losing weight and/or adding lean muscle.  Every single celeb I've reviewed so far has reported following these exact guidelines...so do you think it's a coincidence that they all look fantastic?  I think not.

Statham's diet plan is clearly going to be low enough in calories to create a caloric deficit, but high enough in protein to support muscle growth...this is a key step in building a lean and tone body.  Again, my only beef with this nutrition strategy is that it might be too consistent and a lil strict.

Most of us would slip up after eating this clean for too long because we don't have million dollar movie deals providing us with crazy motivation levels.  Also, there's a risk of entering starvation mode and slowing your fat loss progress, as the body becomes too accustomed to this lower caloric intake.

I suggest eating clean and sensible like Statham does for 5 days out of the week (here's an example:  Fat Loss Diet Plan) and then rewarding yourself and resetting your fat burning hormone and enzyme levels by taking one entire cheat day each week.  Follow this cheat day up with a fasting day to round out the week and put your metabolism into overdrive.

I hope you enjoyed this review of Jason Statham's diet and workout routine... you can definitely take away more from his style of training than you can from the other celebrities I've posted about.  Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below.  See ya on the flip side...

Your Coach,

Brad Campbell
