Introduction!
Thank you for signing up to read this workout and diet program.
If you follow my Fast Start Fat Loss program you will lose weight and gain
REAL HEALTH. You will feel energetic all day, and finally get a physique
that you can be proud of.
You will gain lean muscle, strength, and endurance. You will reduce your
waist line, gain a flat, toned stomach and burn fat all over your body.
Your friends and family will be shocked at your transformation and you
will never be shy about showing off your new body.
If you follow my program, I guarantee you the results I have promised.
For whatever reason, at this point in your life you decided to give ME a try.
I think this will prove to be a turning point in your health and fitness
journey.
I know that you just want to get started, so I havent created a long
introduction. There are a few ideas that Id like you to keep in mind.
What you are about to read are the exact type of workouts and diet
principles I used to lose 27 pounds of fat in 113 days. I didnt starve myself
or go to extremes.
You should know something else: I dont have exceptional genetics. I
didnt have a nutritionist helping me, and at the time I didnt have great
will power either.
BUT I can follow a plan. And thats all you need to do too.
www.morellifit.com
When speaking to clients and people on social media, I find that there are
some core myths that prevent them from losing weight. These are some of
the roadblocks that you need to overcome.
!There are tons of lose fat fast programs on the Internet, and most of
them require you to starve yourself, completely cut out carbs and/or take
a magic potion or pill in order to see results.
You have probably tried some of these diets and failed?
Those are dangerous diets and unsustainable. Trust me, Ive been there and
done that.
If you follow those diets its likely you will gain all the weight back, and
more. Its usually because the diet programs arent centered around real
health and nutrition. Your goal should be, to take the diet and turn it into
an eating lifestyle.
Any program that claims major fat loss can happen overnight will advise a
diet that is simply NOT sustainable.
The program I present here is based on REAL HEALTH. This is a basic
principle in everything I create and I ALWAYS hold true to this.
!Without health, you have nothing. And more often than not, our health
only becomes valuable once we begin to lose it. Many diet programs only
focus on short-term weight loss, but this brings long-term health risks.
You might be muscular or you might be lean, but without real health, life
becomes tough, age comes quickly, often with, sickness and disease.
www.morellifit.com
If you follow my Fast Start Fat Loss program you will begin to realize what
I mean by REAL HEALTH, and in doing so you are going to lose weight. You
are going to put together a physique that you can be proud of.
Let me share a little of my own struggle with weight loss and how I finally
overcame it.
I am a pretty normal guy who reached a point where I had to figure out
how to get the health and physique I always dreamed of (after years of
below average results).
Like many people, I dabbled with fitness programs, diets and health
regimes for many years without much success. I would lose weight over a
30-day period, but then gain it back shortly afterwards.
Like a lot of people, I was frustrated by the lack of results. I was ready to
give up.
In one last attempt I implemented something much different than
anything I had tried before. I had done the cardio thing and I had lifted
weights before, but never together at the same time.
I began what some people call high intensity training, but with my own
twist based on years of personal experience. If you knew me, you'd know I
love to take things and make them better. And that's exactly what I did.
It worked!
I lost 27 pounds of fat, and reduced my body fat from 24% to 10% in 113
days.
I knew if I could do it then I could show others how to do it also. And
that's exactly what happened.

taking on clients. Coaching other people is a passion and my mission is to

the natural way.
I have extremely high standards, and think my programs are the best in
the world. I believe you will get tons of value from them.

enjoy hearing from clients and readers.
To your success,

Form!
Form is non-negotiable and a prerequisite before being able to attack the
next element. Without correct form we cannot be efficient and we open
ourselves up to injury.
Consistency!
Consistency and form are like brother and sister. Once you have the form
down for a particular exercise, consistency says your first rep should look
as good as your last.
!
!
!
www.morellifit.com
Before you increase intensity its important that you are performing the
exercises with good form on a consistent basis.
Intensity!
Intensity refers to how hard you are working during a given period of time.
There are two basic ways to measure exercise intensity; how you feel and
your heart rate.
Studies indicate that your perceived exertion correlates with your heart
rate. In other words, its likely that if you think youre working hard,
chances are your heart rate is elevated.
Every time you push yourself, complete another workout, you force your
body to adapt.
As your mind and body adapt, you will be able to perform more reps,
faster, with more focus, better form and consistency.
This is the intensity element.
Progression!
Progression means youre increasing the difficulty of your workout by
manipulating one or more of the following:
I.
II.
III.
IV.
Exercise
Repetition
Resistance
Rest

www.morellifit.com
I will dive deeper into progression in some upcoming blog posts and
exercise programs. For now, focus on the first three elements. Your
foundation is the primary concern.
Recovery!
Recovery happens when your body is at rest. You absolutely have to rest
your muscles. The newer you are to strength and resistance training the
more rest you need.
You may think that results take place during training. But the reality is
that the results take place during recovery, providing you are feeding your
body with the proper macronutrients. Dont worry, I cover nutrition in an
upcoming section.
Its just as important to keep your body guessing on the recovery side as
well. So I strongly suggest a workout schedule that consists of 2 days on
and 1 day off during your first 30 days of strength training.
This will ensure that your rest days never fall on the same day, week after
week.
Now that we have covered the 5 key elements for efficient training, lets
go over, diet and supplementation strategy.

What is a diet? !
Diet is referred to as the sum of food consumed by another person or
other organism. We are essentially all on a diet. What that consists of
either moves you toward your goal of optimum health or away.
We all hate the word DIET, even me! Unfortunately, when we take the
first step toward a healthier approach to eating thats what its called.
Chances are your friends and family will always call it a diet.
My best recommendation is that you gradually transition from old
destructive eating habits to new healthy ones. Each and every new day is
an opportunity to improve your eating habits, and progress is progress, no
matter how large or small it is.

Lets assume you wake up around 6:30am and you go to bed around
10:30pm. We are also going to assume that you get 8 hours of sleep on
average every night and that you train around 5:30pm.

3 Hour Rule!
After looking at the chart above youll notice the meals get cleaner and
smaller the closer it gets to bedtime, taking into account the 3 hour rule.
In other words, every time you get ready to eat , ask yourself; What will I
be doing for the next 3 hours?
14
www.morellifit.com
Its these next few hours that should ultimately determine whats on your
plate. For more details on timing subscribe to my YouTube channel and
watch How To Diet & Supplement.
Table 2-1
Weekly Training Hours

.8 - 1.2
> 20
1.2 - 2
Generally speaking most people train 20 hours per week or less. Its my
recommendation to follow the workouts in this guide, which means you
wont exceed 20 hours of training.
With that in mind, in order to arrive at the suggested number of daily
protein (g) intake you simply do the following calculation.
Protein (g) * Body Weight (x) = Y = Daily Intake (g)
Its my recommendation that you use .8 (g) as the number for daily protein
consumption to begin with. As your training intensity increases so will
your protein intake.

Why?
Simple, because they work!
Subscribe to my YouTube channel before you forget, and never miss
another workout. I will continue to post workouts that address form,
consistency, intensity, and progression.
I may even decide to put together a 90 day program! We shall see... ;)
Lets take a look at this workout:
20
www.morellifit.com
The Workout!
Increase Difficulty!
If youd like to increase the difficulty you can do so by increasing the
isometric holds from 30 to as much as 60/90 seconds.
Or decrease rest time at the end of the rounds to 45s.
Advanced athletes can also increase the number of rounds from 3 to 4.
Goal!
Your GOAL is to progress to the most difficult progression of each
exercise. Decrease rest time to 30 seconds per round without sacrificing
form.
Perform 4 rounds per circuit without sacrificing form, consistency, or
intensity.
You will effectively be making progress. This is the goal of all goals.

I know that the information in this book will change your life. All you have
to do is take it and apply it in your life.
!
Do This First
!It is my recommendation that you find a pace, a pace that works for you
and your lifestyle. All I ask is that you stay consistent.
Lets work in 30 day increments. Set a new goal every 30 days; remember
it should be difficult but attainable.
If you draw a line in the sand and completely rearrange your diet and
exercise to mimic everything in this book all at once, you are only setting
yourself up for failure.
Remember, change takes time and patience. Your success is right around
the corner. The only difference is now you are equipped with the right
information and tools to get there faster without jeopardizing your health.
