This is my uncensored review of what I really thought about Leigh Peele's The Fat Loss Troubleshooter.

 

Please keep in mind, this is a review, so if you're looking for The Fat Loss Troubleshooter website, then click here now.

 

Why am I writing this?  When I first came across this ebook, I searched online for REAL reviews, and didn't find any!  So I thought I'd save anyone the trouble if they're in the same position I was in.  Let's face it:  $77 is a lot of money to spend on an ebook, and although I've never had any problem getting a refund, knowing the nuts and bolts before purchasing is a big plus.

 

Below, I will show you a couple of my "before and after" photos.  Keep in mind, that I am nowhere near done losing weight, but I have lost about 15-20 pounds within the last couple of months.

 

Ok, so upon purchasing this product, I unzipped the file to my desktop.  My internet connection is the lowest available "high speed" and it didn't take but a few seconds to download completely.

 

In the folder, there's 12 pdf files!  Here starts my first gripe:  These files are arranged alphabetically, not in the order that they should be read.  So I was left with a "Where do I start?" feeling.  Twelve files is a lot to read when you want to lose weight NOW.  I know you know how that feels.  I don't want to spend 2 weeks reading through a crapload of pdf files to get to the good stuff!  (Mini-gripe over.)

 

Thank goodness you have me to tell you what order to read them in, huh?  :)

 

PDF #1:  The Fat Loss Troubleshooter (152 pages) – This is the guide that's gonna give you more info than you want, but it's the best place to start.  Specifically, if you want to skim, I'd suggest paying attention to Chapter 4: Food Counts, Chapter 5: Counting Calories, Chapter 7: Secret of Fat Loss, and Chapter 17: Putting It All Together For Fat Loss.  This will give you the overall jist of the info, and you can skim or read the rest at your leisure.  One thing that I liked:  She stresses that you don't have to exercise to lose body fat!  But, if you do, you'll like the end result much better.  

 

PDF #2:  The Metabolic Repair Manual (147 pages) – I have to be honest, I didn't read this one.  It is recommended for those who have wrecked their metabolism with years of low calorie diets.  I don't fall under that category, so I saved brain space by not reading it, ha ha.

 

PDF #3:  OPT Fat Loss (31 pages) – This is your program right here, laid out with exactly how you need to eat and exactly what exercises you need to do (with pictures).  This is the pdf that I printed out and have been using religiously for my big transformation.  The exercises are really easy, but you will need a set of weights or something comparable (water jugs, food cans, etc.).  I use 5, 8, and 10 pound free weights and a chair to do the step ups with.

 

PDF #4:  Meal Plans (33 pages) – This is going to help you tremendously if you've never counted calories and macros before.  She gives complete meal plans for a variety of different calorie targets, starting with 1200 calories.  It helped me put together some meal plans when I didn't know where to start, but I really wish she would have included more meal variations.    

 

PDF #5:  The Maintenance Manual (8 pages) – This, I loved.  Her philosphy is, that after you put in the work to lose the pounds, you can be a lot more relaxed while using the tips she gives.  She details "starve day" which is creating a large calorie deficit.  Basically, you choose a low activity day and eat as few calories as you can get by with and then you can be relatively relaxed the rest of the week. (Me, who loves food, LOVES this concept!)  

 

The rest of the PDF's include an alternate OPT Fat Loss plan for bodybuilders/figure athletes, a water manual, training logs, and a troubleshoot checklist.  

 

Whew, now that I have that out of the way, here's my second gripe:  for those who are new to calorie counting, it's going to take a bit of work to create meal plans that are in the correct protein, fat, and carb ratios.  It's not impossible, but you'll probably spend quite a bit of time creating your custom menu.  

 

What I did was to take a few days before I started and created a spreadsheet on my computer that calculated my different meal ideas.  Sheet 1 listed my recipes, such as chicken salad or turkey breast dinner, sheet 2 lists what I ate daily, and sheet 3 is my formula page that calulates the total calories and what percent of calories are coming from protein, fat, and carbs.  

 

Again, all of this is explained in her reports clearly, but you may want to take a couple of days before you start to get a clear idea of what you want to eat on this plan.

 

Now here's the part where I show you my photos (sans head!).  I started a couple of months ago.  And I'm not perfect!  I can follow a meal plan really well for a few weeks, and then I kind of fall off the wagon for a week (or two, if I'm being really bad).  So, my pictures could be a lot better.  But, I'm still really happy with the results.

 

I was fitting into a tight size 14, and now I'm back into my 12's (jeans size).  Since I'm pear shaped, I tend to store a lot of extra fat in my butt and thighs.  This means that as I lose weight, my shirt size will go down more quickly than my jeans size, but the bottom half of me should start to catch up here quickly.

 

I started off at 170 pounds.  I'm 5'5" tall, so that's a lot on my frame.  I now weigh in at 153.  I wish I would have started keeping track of my measurements from the start, but I only started that a couple of weeks ago.  I have lost inches consistently!  

 

 

 

As I said, I'm not done yet in my weight loss journey, so come back soon to see a more dramatic before and after picture!
