In case you are not familiar with the "Combat the Fat" fitness program, let me introduce you. It has been around for a while, but was totally revamped in March 2008. It was created by Jeff Anderson, an ex-soldier who spent a good part of his hitch training a variety of soldiers, from the rawest 18 year old recruit to the crustiest old battleaxe.
What he has done is taken his experience, along with tons of research on fitness, weight and fat loss, nutrition, and exercise and packaged it into an easily-digestible format. This is for everyone, no matter your present level of fitness, or your severe lack thereof.
A lot of the whole military/combat theme is for marketing purposes, but it works. It gives his work a common element that is easy to believe and easy to stick with. In spite of the military theme, there is no shouting in your face, no pushups on the beach with the surf washing over your head, and no 50 mile forced marches carrying packs and weapons. In fact, the only weapon this program deals with is you as a finely tuned machine!
I have had a preview of this package and there is a ton of content. I'm frankly very surprised he is selling it for as little as he is, because there are other programs that contain less material that sell for significantly more. Be that as it may, here is what Jeff gives you:
- The main manual is very thorough. Jeff's approach involves both nutrition and exercise, which I encourage and support. He discusses eight "metabolic factors" that help you lose weight.
- There is an 87-page workout guide that teaches you all the exercises you need to know. Many of the exercises can be done at home, while others may require gym equipment. There are charts and a detailed two-week plan to get you started.
- The nutrition guide is 46 pages of knowledge about how to eat properly. Don't think "calorie counting," think "portion control." Believe me, that's a lot easier to manage! Jeff includes daily tips, nutritional information, even shopping lists. He warns against too many carbs, and is big on protein.
This program is for people who want an effective, but realistic way to get in shape and lose weight. It is not a short-term "miracle" diet, but common sense for the long march.

Well I know for a fact that you have to fight the fat to keep it off - especially as you get older, and especially if you are female :). My husband can just say the word diet and he loses weight. Me? I have to take up the battle cry!
I appreciate your article. I'll be 43 next month, and it's been a battle to keep the weight off as each new year goes by. I used to be very active, captain of my soccer team through all 4 years of college, etc.
I don't eat a lot, but my main problem is my metabolism and level of inactivity. Therefore, it sounds like this may be a decent option for me to check out. I've got to do something. Losing 60 pounds would quite a nice thing for me.
