I was the fat kid in class. You know, the one who can't keep up in gym class, the one everyone pokes fun at, the one who goes home feeling miserable because the other kids were mean to him. The stigma of that is carried with you for your whole life. No matter how good you may look as an adult you will always carry that fat kid around with you somewhere deep inside. You spend your whole life looking for the miracle diet, watching the latest fads like a hawk, just to get some advantage.

That is how I found Don Lemmon. OK, I was no longer the fat kid, in fact I was quite sporty. I worked out regularly and watched what I ate. Still, I wasn't all that I wanted to be. I still looked for that one diet that would get me there, make me look as good as I believed everyone else but me looked. A guy in the office recommended the Zone diet, it had worked for him he said. No matter that he was carrying far too many extra pounds and I looked better than him, psychologically it didn't feel that way. So I went out and bought the book. I read it, and I read it again. Something didn't quite ring true but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I looked at the picture of the author. He wasn't fit or athletic, in fact he had more than one chin. Why would I want dietary advice from someone who looked worse than I did? I needed something else to help me on my way.

I looked on the internet, searching for more information on the Zone diet and the other craze, Atkins. Neither seemed entirely healthy to me, and found a site run by a guy called Don Lemmon. Now here was someone I wanted to look like. Slim, healthy and above all, strong looking. He had the kind of body you see on magazines. THIS was how I wanted to look. Don's site listed various reasons why the Zone, Atkins, Body for Life, food combining and more just do not work and are doomed to failure. Not only did he say why they wouldn't work, he offered an alternative in the form of his book, "KNOW HOW, Exercise and Nutrition - THE TRUTH". This wasn't a diet, this was a whole lifestyle designed to improve your overall quality of life in addition to better health. Not only that, he was available on e-mail for FREE advice: How many of the other "big name" authors offered this much? The lifestyle was designed for anyone and everyone. Want to drop some extra fat? KNOW HOW works. Want to build muscle mass? KNOW HOW works! The advice is the same and the results are amazing.

The best part for that fat kid inside? You get to eat - A LOT! This isn't one of those starve yourself silly diets. I am eating 7 meals a day, that is right SEVEN! My calorific intake is higher than ever but the fat just melts off. These meals aren't some "must buy" supplements either, these are real foods; Chicken, steak, fish - all are allowed and are back on the menu. In fact in his book, Don explains just why eating too few calories per day has the opposite effect and causes you to put on fat weight.

Following the advice in Know How Book 1: Exercise and Nutrition - The Truth, I saw phenomenal results. In just eight weeks I dropped body fat and had a lean body with visible abdominal muscles. I saw tangible increases in the weights I am lifting and saw my sport related speed and agility increase despite not actually training these areas. These results are not just temporary either. Because the KNOW HOW is a lifestyle I can be sure I will stay lean and healthy for the rest of my life. What more can I ask for?

The KNOW HOW works. It just does. Don't believe me? Just check out the "before and after"  shots below. Whether you want to burn fat or increase muscle mass, THIS is the program for you!
