7 Revolutionary Fat Loss Studies
June 24, 2009 | 1 Comment
Alwyn Cosgrove recently posted a list of the 7 Fat Loss studies that have most influenced how he trains clients for fat loss. Here is the list:
- A 2004 diet study that shows a simple change can increase dietary compliance and fat loss (by 96%) — (and it’s not “eat less”!)
- A 1998 study that showed that the addition of 45 minutes of hard aerobic training, 5 times a week for twelve weeks – had no effect on fat loss
- A 2007 study – that showed the addition of 50 minutes of aerobic training, 5 times per week for six months – also had no effect on fat loss
- A 2008 study showing 40 mins of aerobic exercise three times per week for 15 weeks actually resulted in the participants gaining fat!
- A study from 1994 showed a specific cardio training method that when adjusted for calories burned – actually reduced body fat (actual skinfold measurements) nine times more than traditional cardio training — despite taking less time, and actually burning less calories per session!
- Another study (1999) showed that the addition of a specific resistance training program increased fat loss by 35% over diet and aerobic training.
- That same study also showed that 3 aerobic sessions of up to 50 mins, for 12 weeks (36 sessions) only increased fat loss by one pound over dieting alone
- A 2002 study used an Afterburn-type approach to training – and showed an elevation of metabolism for 38 hours post workout.
- A 2008 study showing an increased loss of visceral abdominal fat with a high intensity program – and no change with a low intensity program.
Alwyn has taken the information these studies (+100 more), his 10+ years as a trainer, and compiled it into at 16 Week Fat Loss blitzkrieg called Afterburn. Alwyn has told me in the past that most people never acutally finish the entire Afterburn program because they lose all the weight they need somewhere between weeks 8 and 10. Afterburn is one of the best selling fat loss training programs online. If you don’t have a copy go here and pick it up.

It would be pretty cool to have the reference so we could seek for the study.
Thanks!
