The Transformation Diet Lifestyle Program

By Domenic Mauro

In a newly published book, The Transformation Diet Lifestyle Program, fitness/conditioning expert and Muscle Insider writer John Robert Cardillo presents a new strategy for fat loss. Unlike most diet book writers, Cardillo does a deep dive into the biochemical effects of the foods we eat that cause fat gain. He examines the hormonal connection responsible for fat storage, meticulously reviewing the interplay of the seven hormones that control our hunger. The eating cycle Cardillo advocates is conducive to fat loss by stimulating the secretion of hormones that trigger our bodies to use stored fat for energy.

With more than 60% of North Americans being overweight, and obesity rates at 27% in Canada and over 40% in the U.S., the Transformation Diet Lifestyle Program is timely and badly needed. Cardillo’s revolutionary strategy relies on the science of metabolism, which helped him to achieve 2% body fat and win bodybuilding championships. He also introduced his fat-loss program to hundreds of thousands of members in his 50+ fitness clubs over his 30-year career.

This book offers a blueprint for predictable fat loss and a healthy lifestyle eating program. You will learn the following:
