ANSWER: Not at all! In fact, it's the first highly-effective fat loss program that I've found that doesn't actually require strict calorie counting to work and work very well.

The training and nutritional techniques found in the program (such as Fat-Loss Circuit Training, Macronutrient Rotation and Lactic Acid Training) will take care of boosting your metabolism so that you don't need to focus on measuring and weighing everything you eat.

If you do prefer to count calories and find you get better results that way, however, I've also included in the program not only advice on how to go about it but also specific ranges of caloric intake based on your gender and bodyweight to get the best results.

The information is there if you need but it is definitely NOT necessary to count calories on the Metabolic Surge program and still have it work effectively

QUESTION: Does this program require that I go to a gym or can I do the program effectively at home?

ANSWER: The "Metabolic Surge" program can be done very effectively at home. Naturally, the more equipment you have access to, the more variety of exercises you'll be able to do during the program but it's certainly NOT a requirement that you go to the gym.

The training program in the book lays it all out in a very easy-to-understand fashion, organizing the training sessions by bodypart, number of sets and reps, and specific training techniques.

All you have to do is determine which exercise you'd like to use, selecting from any of the ones you have available to you at home. This could be bodyweight lunges, push-ups, bench dips or any others that you know!

If you have a simple set of dumbells and/or a bench, you can greatly increase the number of exercises you can do as well.

QUESTION: What happens after the program is done? Is there going to be rebound weight gain?

ANSWER: Absolutely not! In fact, I and many others have actually experienced CONTINUED fat loss even after the program is done! The training involved in the program in unique amongst fat loss programs in that it actually makes your metabolism go FASTER as you go through the program, rather than simply trying to fight it's slowing down.

By the time you're finishing with the 36-day program, your metabolism will be cranking so strongly, you can go back to eating normally (but still healthy) and actually KEEP losing fat.

Also, even though this program does utilizes low-carb eating at time, it completely avoids the problem of rebound weight gain typically associated with coming off a low-carb diet. In this program, you will actually use that rebound to your advantage to build muscle! This is something not found in ANY other fat loss program.

QUESTION: Is this program useful for older adults? I'm in my 50's and I'm not sure I will get results.

ANSWER: This program is EXTREMELY useful for older adults. In fact, many of the greatest success stories from the program are actually from people in their 50's and 60's! The mechanism through which the eating and training work to burn fat and build muscle apply universally to people of any age.

QUESTION: Is this program useful for female trainers? You mention the program works to build muscle - I don't want large muscles but I do want better shape and tone.

ANSWER: The Metabolic Surge program is all about reshaping your body. Basically, what will happen, being female, when you use the program, your bodyfat levels will come down while your shape improves dramatically. You won't develop large muscles - only lean, shapely, sculpted muscles.

This program does not rely on testosterone production (which is a more masculinizing hormone) to build muscle and burn fat. It harnesses the power of Growth Hormone, to burn fat while building muscle, and the hormone Insulin (which is used primarily to build muscle). Men and women both have practically equal potential when it comes to both Growth Hormone and Insulin production, therefore making the program just as effective for women as it is for men.

QUESTION: How much time am I going to have to put into the training program to get results? Am I going to be working out two hours a day, every day?

ANSWER: Every single day of the training program with the "Metabolic Surge" program is designed to be completed in less than one hour. In fact, several of the training days will only require about 20 to 30 minutes of actual training! Spending your life in the gym is counterproductive to our goals with the program. Get in, work hard, and get out!

Training sessions are not done every single day of the week, either. It's important to give your muscles appropriate rest when they need it. The program is carefully plotted out to not only work your muscles thoroughly but to also allow them the chance to recover and thrive on the program. Quite honestly, it's the very first fat loss program I've ever used that has actually allowed me to GAIN strength and muscle mass while rapidly losing fat. It will do the same for you!

QUESTION: Is this program a scam? The results you say are possible with it sound pretty unbelievable to me. What science is this program based on?

ANSWER: This program is most definitely NOT a scam. It's based on sound scientific principles that are well-researched and well-documented in scientific literature. In fact, I actually include links to the studies that I've used to support this program so you can read them yourself, if you like!

The body reacts to both training and exercise in very predictable ways. For example, when you eat carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels rise and your body secretes insulin to help bring those levels down. Insulin is a very anabolic hormone, which shuttles proteins into the muscle cells for repairing and rebuilding those muscles. By properly targeting and MAXIMIZING insulin secretion, we can achieve extremely anabolic conditions in the body, allowing you to build muscle, even under low-calorie, dieting conditions.

The nutritional program, training program and supplementation utilized in the program takes FULL advantage of every fat-burning and muscle-building hormone and process your body has. When these are all combined in the proper fashion, the body can literally reshape itself in very short periods of time.

QUESTION: Do I have to take supplements to get results with this program?

ANSWER: While supplementation can certainly help with the program, it's definitely NOT required that you take supplements to achieve great success. The real power behind the program lies in the nutritional strategies and the training program. Supplements are simply there to support and assist with these processes. You won't have to take any fat burners, protein powder, creatine or anything like that if you don't want to and you'll still get great results.

Anyone who tells you that you have to take fat loss supplements to make their program work is not promoting a healthy program. When properly stimulated, your own natural metabolism is FAR more powerful than any supplement you can take to burn fat. Supplements can assist and support the process but they should NOT be the focus of your fat loss efforts.

QUESTION: Is everything in the program laid out for me so I can just follow along with the training and nutrition? Or will I have to try and figure things out on my own?

ANSWER: Absolutely! In fact, it's one of most frequently-mentioned plusses that users of the program comment on. People love how it's laid in an easy-to-follow, day-by-day fashion. Each training sessions is outlined from start to finish, with sets, reps, rest periods and even which exercises to do!

The nutritional and supplementaion aspects of the program are completely explained and mapped out as well. You'll never have a time when you're questioning what you're doing and why you're doing. Not only do I plot everything out in detail for you, I explain it every step of the way so you not only know in detail what you're doing but WHY you're doing it. This is a very powerful concept, which allows you to truly maximize the results you get with the program.
