It’s a proven fact that our natural bodily processes lose efficiency if not properly cleansed. Much of the food we consume is over-processed and unhealthy and our environment, especially in cities, is teeming with toxins. Unchecked, a build up of toxins in our systems is directly linked to cancer, diabetes, obesity and premature aging.

The Centers for Disease Control tell us that obesity in the United States is at epidemic levels, with about 35% of adults and 17% of children and adolescents meeting the clinical definition of obese. The American Cancer Society reports that up to 80% of deaths from cancer involve toxic elements in the environment.

Environmental factors, for the most part, are beyond our control, but we are responsible for what goes into our bodies. The human body responds to an influx of toxins and chemicals by covering them in fat, putting us at risk for a myriad of health problems. Detoxification is essential to keeping the body well-tuned and avoiding weight gain and disease.

A detox or “reset” is a meticulously designed, comprehensive inner body tune-up that can restore your body’s natural vitality in just three weeks. A gentle, no-starvation cleanse can help counteract the effects of toxins and harmful chemicals from the air, water and food we eat.

The detox is designed to restore the body to its optimal “factory settings” to improve energy and focus, help overcome feelings of being fatigued and sluggish, improve digestion, lower cholesterol and regain maximum health. For some people, this means feeling truly renewed and restored for the first time ever.

In Phase 1, you “Reclaim” your body’s natural state, balancing inner chemistry and preparing it for change. In Phase 2, you “Release” the toxic compounds that are clogging your cells and stored within your tissues. In Phase 3, you “Restore” your metabolism to optimal efficiency, while strengthening your body with the nutrients, enzymes, and probiotics it needs to maintain healthy performance.

Supplement formulations are essential to help restore your body to optimal settings. (1) “Alkalinize” helps maintain alkalinity. (2) “Optimize” promotes a healthy metabolism and effective body functions. (3) “Oxygenize” helps provide supplemental oxygen to the body. (4) “Mineralize” adds natural minerals needed by the body. (5) “Detox” helps remove toxins and waste in the colon, and (6) “Revitalize” helps revitalize flora in the digestive tract.

It’s important to remember that a reset is NOT a starvation diet. Each day you’ll eat three healthy, satisfying meals. This is a life-transforming, detox program with proven results. The gradual, systematic approach delivers real, long-term change and a return to your natural state of balance and well-being.

In this article I want to review two highly recommended fat loss programs and help you see which one of them is right for you. The first program is the Transformation Solution Program by Bill Phillips and the second is Truth About Abs by Mike Geary. Let’s see how these programs differ from each other.

Truth About Abs is a fat loss program which is marketed as a way to get flat abs quickly. It is the most successful abs program online today and it boasts a variety of success stories among men and women both.

The program doesn’t merely address belly fat. It is a program that helps to tone your body completely. Truth About Abs is based on doing full body strength exercises and following a nutrition plan which is based more on healthy food choices rather than on calorie control. The program includes photographs to illustrate each of the exercises and there is also a version which provides videos of all the workouts.

The Transformation Solution Program is marketed as a generalized fat loss plan and an overall life changing program. The author, Bill Phillips is a well known bestselling health and fitness author and his approach is a more holistic one than that taken in Truth About Abs.

In Transformation Solution, a greater emphasis is placed on what goes on inside of you, on the psychological process which you need to go through in order to lose body fat, get fit, eat better, and maintain your results for years to come. While Phillips does teach you how to workout effectively and what and how to eat (including his own routine), he does so in less detail than Mike Geary does.

Transformation Solution is great for people who feel trapped in a cycle of bad habits, past failures, and lack of self belief and will power. The program provides a variety of techniques to create the right kind of mindset and thought processes to create a more positive lifestyle. I believe it is an excellent plan if you feel that you simply can’t lose weight.

On the other hand, if all you feel you need is some guidance in correct exercise and nutrition techniques then Truth About Abs should prove very effective. It is also cheaper.

Both programs and authors have positive reviews and testimonials. You can lose body fat and get lean with either. Transformation Solution is wider in scope, so if you feel that you’re looking for a total life change, it is the one for you.

Body For Life author Bill Phillips is at it again! He has a new program hitting the ‘interweb’ that is picking up where Body For Life left off and helping people to transform not only their bodies, but also their heart’s, soul’s, and lives. The Transformation Solution kicks off with some really impressive stories about people who have ‘transformed’ their bodies following Bill’s advice.

Bill then proceeds to share a story about when he was a kid and his Dad would take him and the rest of his family hiking. He used this ‘base and summit analogy to drive home the point that you have start somewhere on your transformation journey and that its vitally important to have clear goals in mind when starting your own transformation.

The rest of this Transformation Solution program goes on to reveal Mr. Phillips 18 Week proprietary program for transforming your mind, body, and soul. He has a knack for picking up where other health and fitness authors leave off and he covers a myriad of concepts that most would never touch (and I think this will be a big reason why so many people will have success following the Transformation Solution program while other programs have failed for them).

In the rest of the Transformation Solution a variety of topics such as Exercise prescription, right nutrition, the community connection, Lifetime intentions, healthy space makeovers, progress not perfection, the Big Forgive, accepting responsibility, and many more cool concepts that are all critical to a successful Body Transformation.

All in all I think Bill Phillips has topped his previous work and has done a great job creating a program that will help people transform in many aspects of their lives. Bill Phillips even said in his book that he has been researching why people successful at transforming their bodies did succeed and how you can do the same as well.
