Nautilus North Study
REVOLUTIONARY NEW FAT LOSS PROGRAM
In February of 2006, 33 subjects, comprised of 22 women and 11 men (aged 25-64) agreed to take part in a radical experiment at Nautilus North Strength & Fitness Centre. After years of listening to “the latest thing” to come down the river of diet programs, we decided to conduct a study to determine just how little exercise was required to lose pure body fat, understanding that simply losing “weight” was relatively easy as some of that weight would be lean tissue. The study lasted 10-weeks. No supplements or special dietary restrictions were imposed, save for using a well-balanced but modestly reduced calorie diet in conjunction with a workout that lasted a mere two minutes and performed but once a week. Here are the results:
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 442.4 lbs.
GREATEST WEIGHT LOSS (MEN): 43.2 lbs
GREATEST WEIGHT LOSS (WOMEN): 25.8 lbs
AVERAGE WEIGHT LOSS: 17.02 lbs.
TOTAL PURE FAT LOSS: 405 lbs.
Greatest Fat Loss (Men): 33.8 lbs
Average Fat Loss (Men): 20.9 lbs.
Greatest Fat Loss (Women): 23.6 lbs.
Average Fat Loss (Women): 13.2 lbs.
AVERAGE PURE FAT LOSS: 15.58 lbs
STRENGTH INCREASES
(After only 10 workouts!):
Lower Body (Men): 43.05%
Upper Body (Men): 30.42%
Lower Body (Women): 43.73
Upper Body (Women): 32.51%
AVERAGE OVERALL STRENGTH INCREASE: 35.46%
TOTAL LEAN (MUSCLE) INCREASE: + 132.8%
Average Lean Gain % (Men): + 6.21%
Average Lean Gain % (Women): + 4.52%
OVERALL AVERAGE LEAN (MUSCLE) GAIN: + 5.11%
Never in the history of fat loss and exercise (and that’s quite a history) has there ever been this much fat loss from this little amount of exercise – and all of the above results were achieved employing a workout that lasted (on average) a mere 2 minutes and was performed only once a week! Moreover, when the results were compared between groups that trained with more exercise versus those that trained with less, that those who trained the least lost more fat and gained more muscle by a ratio of 2-to-1! No 45-minute per day sessions on a treadmill were necessary – nor any other form of aerobic exercise.
Knowing this, think for a moment of the billions of man-hours that have been wasted over the years by people who believe they “have to” train several hours a week if they wish to lose body fat.
In terms of diet, the subjects on the study consumed regular food – three meals a day, plus two snacks; food that you can find in any supermarket. No drugs were involved. No supplements were employed, nor were they required. And, in case you were wondering, we are half way through another round of this program, this time with 65 subjects – and ALL of them are repeating the results of those on the first study.
