Francesco,

It is obvious how much time and effort that you have dedicated to this amazing program. Your program was exactly what I was looking for when it came to weight training; a “step-by-step” approach to working out that didn’t leave you guessing.

In the past I have tried to do my own research to see what exactly needed to be done to maximize results. I had picked up a lot of things on my own, but after reading your program, all the bits and pieces that I had put together on my own had finally come together. In fact, I sometimes catch myself in conversations concerning weight training techniques with friends and they really seem to listen to what I have to say; all of which I learned after reading your program.

I had dedicated one summer to your system (approximately 12 weeks) and the results I saw were incomparable to any other weight training that I had done in the past. Bottom line, anyone looking to either start or modify there own weight training program will DEFINITELY benefit from MuscleNOW.

Francesco,

I am sending you an update on my training, and hopefully you will use this for your testimonial page. I have recently completed your six week program and I am starting it all over next week. The first cycle has been nothing short of magical. I gained about 7 lbs and had increases in all of my measurements. I will be the first to admit that I was skeptical when I first started. I always thought it was a prerequisite to take supplements in order to gain muscle, but your program has taught me the total opposite. It is amazing what food and proper exercise can do for you. I will NEVER touch a supplement again as long as I live.

When I first started your program, I neglected some of your recommendations. Finally, I realized what you said about every principle working together. I used the program EXACTLY like you put it, and my results have been amazing. I am stronger than I ever was, I have veins everywhere in my body, including my neck, chest, shoulders, arms, and even my legs!!! People are always asking me what supplements I use. I tell them that I don't take anything. I have even been labeled a steroid user. Well, I admit to them that I am; I use the internet's natural steroid. I know some people question me being natural, but I know the hard work I have put in and that's all that matters.

I now weigh 205 lbs with about 7% body fat. My goal is 215 lbs, which I know is achievable with this program. I am an independent professional wrestler and at one point I thought to myself that I would never be big enough to make it in the big time. Well, now I know that the future is in my hands because your program ensures success and results. I just want to thank you for putting out such a remarkable product. You are making it a lot easier for me to follow my dream. This program is definitely "all you need to succeed." Thanks for everything and take care of yourself.

I now weigh 215 pounds with about 7 percent body fat. I still see improvements constantly and live and breath the MuscleNOW program. Thanks again and take care.

Francesco,

I have enclosed some recent photos taken last month. I am back on your program and feeling the benefits. Thanks again for having such a great program that I can continue to look to for guidance. Hope all is well.

I have to say that the MuscleNOW program is the best program out there on the market. I had started working out at age 18 at 115 lbs standing 6 foot tall. When i got to 21 I weighed 160 and hit a plateau for about a year. I did not gain an ounce for a year until I ordered this program.  Within the first two 6 week cycles I gained 15 pounds of solid muscle and I am on my quest to tip the scale at 200 pounds. I live by the truth and the MuscleNOW program is the best!!!!!

Thank you, Francesco Castano for a life changing way of natural bodybuilding!!!!

I have sent a lot of business your way, I love your program. It is nice to have the truth about bodybuilding available and not have to rely on the muscle magazine adds for advice.

thanks again...changed my life!!!

Francesco,

I would like to thank you for your awesome course! Everything is laid out plain and simple. I followed the program for a solid 9 months in preparation for the Mr. Idaho State Natural contest. When the day was over, I walked away with the overall title of Mr. Idaho. I couldn't have accomplished this without the course (and your email support). I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to improve their physique. I have tried a lot of other programs out there, but nothing compares to this one.

Also, I would like to inform you that my wife has been training with your program and is achieving phenomenal results. She plans to compete next year so plan on adding another testimonial. Thanks for your awesome program!

Francesco,

This is my seventh week on your program and I am seeing awesome results. One body part that I've noticed really getting big is my biceps. Before they didn't have that much height, but now they look really awesome. The preacher curls have made a huge difference along with the other exercises.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for providing me with your help. I truly would have never made the gains I've been making without your help. I've tried all the pro bodybuilding training programs and diet programs, but have all failed. I've made more gains in this past 8 weeks than I have in 1 1/2 years. If anybody is reading this, I really suggest you invest in this program.

Thanks and God Bless.

I started at 145 lbs. (the before pic was taken around april, if you notice im getting ready for graduation, look at the hat) in the second picture i weighed 155 (august of the same year). so from may to august i ended up gaining ten pounds. then i went to mass since i can see my abs. so from september to december i put on another 25 lbs. so in picture 3 where i am posing i wiegh about 175/180.

all the muscle i gained was put on using your system. i could never gain wieght before i tried musclenow. by the way my brother who dosent workout still wieghs 145. so its in my genes to be skinny. following your program i put on about 2.5 inches on my arms and about 5 on my chest. your program is the best i have ever used. very straight foward and no guess work. also the diet is very simple to follow. bench press went form 155 max to 230. curl went from 40 lbs to 105 lbs. people actually accused me of being on steroids. including my mom and grandma. who knew i was on your program. i would reccomend this program to anyone who wants to go to the gym and actually be productive. i appreciate everything you and your program has done for me. thanks again!!!

Francesco,

I just wanted to write you and tell you how amazing your program is! I have been using your program for around 3 years now and I have to say that I owe you a lot more than the money i paid for your program! Before using your program, I had a thorough knowledge of bodybuilding and nutrition. I had worked at a couple gyms, and various supplement shops. I also had a bodybuilding show under my belt (which I placed 2nd in the northwest natural comp). Your program has basically brought everything I knew into perspective while helping me see a couple new techniques and how to incorporate them into my lifestyle. Your program also helped me with my nutrition. I have had a couple different training partners in the last 3 years and both have made very impressive gains as well! My friend Jason started lifting with me weighing 300 + lbs. and is now at present, 230 lbs with approx. 15 % body fat. The pictures in of myself in the red trunks are from the competition you helped me with (then, I was 163 lbs with around 3% bf). I had some questions that you helped me with thru email, along with information I used from your program.

I just want to say to anyone reading this; Francesco has truly made an easy to use program that can help anyone achieve his or her goals whether it is to compete or to get in shape. I don't care if you are 50 years old and think its too late to get in shape. This program will truly help you!

Ps. I am currently 5'10, 185 lbs with 7 % bf. I plan to do many more competitions, but with this program, I truly stay in shape ALL YEAR LONG. I never get above 8 percent body fat. And that is because, like Francesco, I have chose to make this program a lifestyle rather than just a summer program. Thanks again F! I will send you updates on any further progress!

Francesco,

I purchased your program because I was tired of being the 120 pound weakling I had been for the first 36 years of my life. After searching the web for different programs that I thought would fit my desire of adding a little "beef" to me I stumbled on your site. After reading it and the other testimonials I thought this would be the one for me. I had no desire to be a body builder or gain the bulking abouts of muscle most mags and others sites show, I just wanted to add a little meat to by body. I also had no desire to start taking all of the supplements and junk the other places want you to use. I had used weight gainer at one point in time and gained about 10 pounds. As soon as I stopped taking it I lost all of it. So anyway I ordered your program and read it cover to cover like you said and when I was done thought "Wow this guy really makes sense." And so I started. I saw results almost immediately. I started at 123 pounds, a 27 inch waist and about 10 inch biceps. I am now 38 years old at 137 lbs, a 30 inch waist and 13 inch biceps.

I know the slower results are of my own fault. I started lifting at home and due to my schedule I could only start lifting at about 9 or 9:30 in the evening. I also was lifting in my basement which got pretty cold in the winter. Living in northwest Pennsylvania. With these factors it was often hard to get the motivation to go and lift. I have since joined a gym, which I really enjoy, and making myself get up in the morning and go in. I have found it gives me a lot more energy for the day after a good work out in the morning.

The muscle now program is truly great for "natural weight lifting" and I would recommend it to anyone.

I started at 69,7 kg, waist 80 cm, chest 101 cm, arms left 37 cm, right 38 cm, sovrailiac plico 5 mm. The result after 1 muscle gain cicle is the following: pic taken 2 months later, weight 75,5 kg,  waist 83 cm,  chest 105 cm, arms left 39cm, right 39 cm, sovrailiac plico 6mm. For me this gains are amazing as i i have a very busy and messy life style being a long haule flights attendant for the italian airline and working often on night shifts, going through various jet leg, sleeping when i am meant to eat and eating when i am meant to sleep, sometimes i have to eat 2 meals at one sitting because of time limitations and use protein powder for convenience with simpe sugars (fruit juice) on non work out meals. Training as well is affected because of my job i use plan c from 2 up to 4 times a week as my shedules allows any days of the week and sometimes my recovery abilities are very limited. During the cicle i have been sick twice with fewer and stomach upset after a trip to Africa, i train often down routes in differents gyms with different equipment and often i don't find all the equipments i need. But i still made gains. All i did was trying to follow ur course as it is as much as i could and u helped me with advices to fit it into my life stile! That's the reasons why i say that this gains are amazing, i am sure that if my lifestyle allowed me to follow the course and diet just as it is written in ur program i would have made better gains!!!!!! But still i look forward to start another cicle following ur course as muche as i can, training, diet modification after measurements, raising calories or diminishing them if i need to and i am sure that in 5 weeks time i will post another pics with 5 kg of mainly muscles more on my body. That would be 10 kg in just 4 months, more than i have gained in 16 years of training! By the way this gains r even more amazing if u think that i am 37 now and just recovered from a shoulder surgery that made me to lose lots of weight.

My priority was to practice bodybuilding the way or should be NATURAL and thats why the discovery of ur progam has been for me a gift from GOD....In so many years i would never imagine i could get such a result with my lifestyle and most of all without supplements or drugs and thats why i thank u again from the heart.....

What can i say, ur program works, no need of supplements no drugs just dedication pumping iron and strong diet....and if in need ur consideration and help any time and just a few days after posting a question....that worth 10000 more times the price of ur course. Thanks so much Francesco for sharing with us ur effort to build a strong and healthy body and for helping us to achieve it! GOD BLESS U.... 

Dear Francesco , as promised here is another update after another mass cicle , i stayed on 3500 cal difficoulties cause of my life stile same and sometimes worse , can t weight food most of the time when i eat out (20 days a month ) , try to match quantity by eye balling the food i weight at home , and all other problems i wrote u about in my last mail , but i don t give up . So progress have been a little slowier during this cicle but consistent almoust every week , i could go up to 4000 cal but it s quite hot now in Italy and don t feel much eating plus i didn t want to put to much fat on .Sunday 12th of July measurement were : weight 77.8 kg , waist 85 cm , chest 107 cm , left arm 40 cm right arm 41 cm , suvrailiac plico 7 mm . That s 2 ,5 kg more from my last update 2 cm more on my chest and 2 cm on my right arm and 1 cm on my left arm , fat gain just a little on my waiste . I will take advantage of the hot season to go on a fat loss cicle for a while till my waist and plico get back as it was at begin of the program and try to mantain as much mass i can . In 3 months i ve gained with ur program 8.8 kg almost the weigth i lost in one year without training due tu a shoulder surgery , and as i said with my life style and age i beilive it s amazing .

People notice the change and they worry that i will get huge !!!!! ( they keep telling me no to go bigger than this ( i am 5.8 tall !) , but after a few mass and fat loss cicle i am sure that i will gain more weight and look proportionate as i won t put to much fat on and that what is amazing about ur course . Francesco let me thank u again for all ur hard work and for helping me with ur e mail when i asked , the money i spent for ur course have been the best spent in 16 years of training , where i waisted thousands of euro in useless supplements and magazines . God bless u Francesco

Hello my name is Titus LeFlore I’am 30yrs old and I’ve been using the MuscleNOW system for the past 6yrs. When I started college I began working out on campus but I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted in my routine. Soon thereafter I became frustrated with my training regimen and began relying on pills, protein powders and virtually anything else I could get my hands on. I will admit the supplements had some minimal effects but they were not permanent. In addition, most of the supplements I was taking had adverse side effects and provided no nutritional value past the empty promises printed on the bottles. I was not willing to admit it at the time but I began buying into ‘fad dieting’ as a desperate means of measuring my success. I had become consumed with products that were considered both dangerous and unhealthy and were costing me literally hundreds of dollars a year. It was then that I realized I had to make a change from the inside out.

I had to change both the way in which I thought about training and how I lived, and I knew it had to be a lifetime commitment and not just a minor inconvenience for the time being. So I began researching and reading articles online about natural body building methods. Throughout my research I stumbled upon a website that promoted a program called MuscleNOW. At first I was a little apprehensive about the claims made on this site although the information seemed legitimate. I visited the site every night for the next few days trying to find inconsistencies in the credibility of the author of the program, Francesco Castano. Before purchasing I e-mailed Francesco on several occasions asking him questions. He was very forthcoming throughout that time and responding rather quickly reassuring me that I would not be disappointed with the results if I followed the principles of the program and remained disciplined. Well after our initial discussions I gave the program a shot and once I received the book I read it from cover to cover. Initially I did see some immediate results however months rolled by I began to lose focus. I reached out to Francesco once again and he gave me a wake-up call that I would not soon forget. He told me that I would have to really kick it into high gear if I expected more dramatic lasting results and that meant becoming more focused and disciplined. At first I did not want to listen and it actual took some time before everything he and the book were describing about my diet and exercise began resonating with me. So after a year of wavering and waffling back and forth I began to conscientiously make a change and this time I was fully committed mentally and holistically. I began following the MuscleNOW principles veraciously and I retrained myself to think differently about my diet and exercise. I don’t believe this would have been accomplished without the MuscleNOW program.

Some of the reasons why I like MuscleNOW is that it is a natural bodybuilding program; there are no adverse side effects, no expensive products to buy and most importantly no gimmicks! The program is designed according to your goals and it is incentive based meaning you will get no more out of it then you’re willing to contribute. From fat loss and muscle gaining to mass building MuscleNOW runs the full gamut of everything that I had been looking for in a strategic training regimen. I truly believe this is the single most important investment I made since I began working out. It far exceeded my expectations and I’m so thrilled to report that I have been permanently released from the shackles of costly supplementation and pills. I hate to sound like an infomercial and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a radical skeptic but this is the best program for real people who are looking for significant results. I would not recommend any other program to anyone who was considering a strength training program.

This has been the most comprehensive resourceful book I've found on muscle training and development. This book has been the single most important investment I've made since I started a consistent training routine. I've made tremendous gains in my physical goals and achievements and I still reference some of the principles used throughout this guide. I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to come close to what I've been able accomplish without the aid of MuscleNow.

The information was very easy to understand, comprehensive, and most importantly effective. Before reading Muscle Now I used everything from weight gainers to numerous supplements only to have lackluster short-term results. Muscle Now has been the single most effective potent program I've used. I've gained and maintained significant muscle growth and more endurance throughout each workout. Since using this program I've read up on other programs but they don't come close to the information provided in this book. It was definitely worth the investment.

Several of my friends and co-workers have gotten on various diet/training bandwagons over the years. A lot of these individuals knew someone else who was following the same program and had some success. However most of these individuals ended up with temporary results which left them with feelings of doubt because their heart really wasn’t committed to their goals. Francesco and MuscleNOW gave me the confidence I needed to remain focused and to see past these deceptive diet/training programs and concentrate solely on what has delivered results for me each and every time. I thank Francesco Castano and MuscleNOW for not only making me a believer in his program but also allowing me to believe in myself.

Francesco,

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Thanks to your extremely well thought out MuscleNow system I am finally on the road to having the body I always wanted. It's everything you said it would be and more. No, It's more than that. It's everthing I need to know about eating right and working out to get the body I want and it will last me for the rest of my life.

The funny thing is, I am not working out any harder or dieting any more stricter than I was in the before picture. I am just following your system. On my path to develop an athletically functioning, strong, good looking body, I read a lot of muscle magizines and trained the way they said to train and ate the way they said to eat. All that happened was I got frustrated and burned out. Let me explain, after doing their "mass gain" diet and exercise routine I was at my fattest having put on almost no muscle (the only mass I gained was in my butt and belly!) Then after doing their "lean" routine (this is the before picture) you can see I have almost no muscle! ! My self esteem was in the dumps. I felt like I just had the wrong genes to look the way I wanted to look. I was really in the dumps.

After a friend pointed me to your site, I decided to invest the money in myself and get your course. I justified the price with the fact that you said I wouldn't have to buy any supplements and since I was already spending over 200/ month on creatine, protein, and stimulant drinks (amongst others) I figured it would pay for itself right away.

I started using the system the 1st day I got it. I started seeing results on the 5th day, and the results haven't quit yet! What a bunch of B.S. in those magizines! What a bunch of B.S. about those supplements! Those models in those magazines must be roiders, and those stupid routines and complicated exercises must be written to sell supplements. I think they give you bad routines then once you don't get any results, they tell you it's because you NEED these supplements! At least, that's what I fell for.

Conspiracy theory or not, you can't hide my results... my before picture is me at 172 pounds using stimulants. The after picture is me at 175 pounds using MuscleNow (and nothing else).

Now my self esteem is unshakeable because I know that the way I look doesn't have anything to do with my genetics or buying supplements that somebody wants to sell me, it only has to do with me using the MuscleNow system.

If anybody ever wants to talk to any of your students because they are on the edge like I was, have them e-mail me. They can contact me anytime. I know what it's like to be at a crossroads in my life.

Thanks again,

Dear Francesco!

Friend of mine showed me your MuscleNow program. I read it almost in one breath, transferred program in excel, filled up the fridge with healthy food and started to work out and eat as written in your MuscleNow program. I cannot describe how astonished I was about the results in next few weeks!! In first 10 weeks I lost around 4-5 Kilograms of FAT! I was on some training routines before, but it was only one failure after another, and results didn't want to come...and than I got even my back injured and quit weightlifting. Those were sad days, but they are OVER NOW!! ;D Your MuscleNow program works like magic for me!! All the fat is now gone and I am gaining new muscles almost every new month. I even quit my regular job at the police and started personal training. That's how good is your MuscleNow program!! ;D

And what's the best of it, I benefit from a lot of your advises also in other areas of my life! One can see very fast, that you worked real hard to put that material together into a wonderful working combination... I will keep you posted with new photos of mine!:D Thank you again for all motivating words in your email. I even got enlarged the part about consistency and stick it to the wall in my working studio.

With Kind Regards and outstanding respect from Slovenia!

I had MuscleNow for a couple of years sitting up on a shelf and collecting dust for most of that time. I'll admit that I pulled it down off the shelf and put it to use on a few sporadic occasions with fantastic short term results, but then got tired of being disciplined and put it back for another day. It finally took my deciding to make a documentary about health and fitness to really put MuscleNow to the test, and let me tell you, IT IS FANTASTIC!

The name of my documentary is Fitness Captured (web site is FitnessCaptured.com). It is the story of an average guy with a wife, kids, job, taking his obese and way out of shape body and turning it into that of a greek god, or at least as close as he can get in 4 months time. This was all done in the midst of the holidays, 2 weeks of downtime from illness, many more cheat days than what MuscleNow allows and yet, I was able to shed a total of 39 1/2 pounds in 4 months time by following the workouts and diet, even though I cheated and had to stay out of the gym from time to time! I am now on a path of fitness that will get me to that perfect vision of fitness that we all want to have!

The results I have experienced really have proven to me the total effectiveness of the MuscleNow product! Take some time to check out the website for the Fitness Captured movie. I hope you get a chance to see my results so that they can inspire you to do what I did, which was to get off the couch and get to work!

I have just finished my 1st cycle, that’s 6 weeks of training so far. I've gone up from a weight of 182 to 191, with my waist remaining at a constant 31 inches. My arms have gone from 14.25" to 15.125", so almost one inch. My strength has increased as well. I went from doing 315x1 on squat to 315x5 the other day. This program is the real deal.

First, I would like to say thanks once again for the program. My brother from college who hasn't seen me in a few weeks was very impressed with my new size. It's so great to know you're gaining muscle so fast.

I would like to update you on my progress as well as my roommate Tom's progress. We have consistently been on the MN program since January 18th. I believe the deal we made was by mid-May I would send you my pictures as well as Tom's so you could post them on you website. The results will be dramatic for both of us, as you will see in about one month from now.

In three months, I have gained 3" on my chest, 1.5" on the arms, and added a good 20 lbs. And this is saying A LOT since I was in an advanced stage of bodybuilding. I am on target for my goal in May, which is a 44-45" chest and 18" arms. I have 1/2" on arms to grow and 1" on my chest to grow, and I will hit them at the rate I'm progressing now.

Tom has gained about 15-20 lbs. as well, and nearly 2" on his arms and 4" on his chest. He's getting stronger each time we workout because of his beginning stage. He's hooked on MuscleNow, and we complement each other perfectly. If one of us is tired or lazy, we get the other one going.

At the gym we train at, I am now probably the largest guy and strongest in there. I have found that even with advanced stages, your strength can go up slightly. I bench pressed 315 lbs. for the first time in my life the other day actually, which only fuels the muscle growth fire.

MuscleNow is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Tom and I get questions all the time..."how do you do this..", "man how are ur arms so big" and so much more.

I'll email you in one month with your progress and the pictures. I'll write a testimonial along with it as well. Tom owns his own copy of MN, so I'll have him do the same as well.

I have been on MuscleNow for the past three years, but unfortunately due to other areas of my life I have not been able to be on the program consistently. I finally decided to get serious and I devoted four entire months to MuscleNow. The results? I got bigger and stronger than I ever was...much bigger. In those four months, I gained 1.5" on my arms and 3.5" on my chest, and also gained 25lbs. or so, all muscle. These gains are exceptional cosidering I am an advanced lifter!

I think MuscleNow is the perfect fast gain program that beginners seek for and advanced trainers dream of. The results are quite amazing when done correctly...you will be growing by the week. The program is layed out step-by-step and Francesco did a great job answering all of my questions that I could come up with, which weren't many because the program really explains it all. The overall knowledge in this program is worth the price itself! I am so glad I finally stuck with the program. In the future I plan on sticking with MuscleNow and gaining more size until I finally feel ready to shred up, so these pictures are just preliminaries!

In these pictures I weigh 215 with a 44" chest, 17.75" arms, 28" thighs. I have a 345 bench press, a 505 squat, and a 615 deadlift. I do not have a before picture available currently (perhaps in the future) so just to give an idea of what this program can do for you, here are my before stats--182 lbs., 38" chest, 14.25" arms, 23" thighs, 230 bench press, 315 squat, and 295 deadlift. By the way, this is done with nothing but food, lifting, and MuscleNow!

I have tried many routines. Max-OT, Don Lemmon's nutriton and training, HIT training, training twice per day, training all day on a certain body part, EDT training, Vince Gironda techniques...the list goes on and on. I can safely say that if it's size you're after, MuscleNOW is the way to go.

My name is Stephen and I began using MuscleNow in order to shed fat and gain muscle. My sister bought the program and asked me to try it out. I had been lifting and doing minor cardio prior to starting the program. I am 6'4" and weighed 240 pounds and had an approximate body fat of 18%.

I picked a few friends to do MuscleNow with me. One friend had very little fat and was very skinny. The others had quite a bit of fat to lose and little muscle. We followed the nutrition and training program to the letter. Within six months, I was weighing 198 pounds and my body fat was down to 7%. I could not get my body fat this low even when I was a Marine. I am also lifting 25% more weight than when I began the program.

The skinny friend who needed to gain muscle did and the others who needed to lose fat have dropped down to 9% body fat from approximately 22% body fat. MuscleNow has given me the body and strength I have always desired and I finally feel great about myself. I am now going to introduce this to my father who is now retired and back in the gym. I look forward to sending you his before and after shots.

The incredible thing about it is he did all of this while living abroad and didn't have a lot of access to weights so he improvised with his body weight and filling up bags with water, etc. He followed your nutrition suggestions to the letter, which helped him a lot. He ended up having about 8 guys following him every day doing this stuff. Some were very over weight and needed to drop fat, and others were very skinny and needed muscle. Your program worked for them all.

Francesco,

Hey, I'm now the national lightweight subchampion. I just won second at the National Independence Pro Cup. I just want you to know that the nutritional knowledge you provided was a GREAT HELP, THANKS! I've been comparing my before pictures with the ones of this competition and the difference in size and hardness are obvious.

I'm 54 years old so it ain't easy, but I'm motivated! Thank you for all you've done for me so far, I'm so plesed with the results. I've lost 117 pounds in 7 months now, I've lost at least 18" off my waist, I'm back to sleeping in a bed (before your program, I was sleeping in a recliner because my lower back won't let me lay in a bed). Yesterday I did 315 on the dead lift for the first time in probably thirty years, what a great feeling. Shrugs are up to 375. I just got home from the gym and I caught myself running up and down the stairs.

Took some pictures this weekend thought you'd like. Now you can see the improvements I've been telling you about. As you can see from the one picture, I'm half the man I used to be, thank you Francesco.

Before purchasing your program, my back was so bad that I became dangerously obese. Listening to doctors who wanted to give me pain pills and then operate on my spine was pretty detrimental to my health. I read your web page and decided to go back to lifting weights, I hadn't lifted in at least twenty five years, but knew it was worth a try instead of surgery. Before your program, it required both of my hands to pick up a gallon of milk. Now I do deadlifts with over three hundred pounds. How's that for progress?

This is a lifestyle not a "muscle building or fat trimming program." It's a lifestyle change that will add many useful years to my life, I feel like I'm 34 instead of 54 and there's plenty of 34 year olds down at the gym who can't even pick up the bar I do my deadlifts with, or my shrugs, all 375 pounds of them. Imagine what I'll be lifting next summer! I hope I can inspire someone to do it. It's not easy and you have to do it for yourself from yourself, no one can give you the motivation it's got to come from you. You provide the plan that saves a lot of heartache and pain trying to find something that works. I thought I knew what I was doing when it came to weight lifting, but you put it all together with a diet and detailed plans that work if I just put it into practice. Your workout routines and diet have made this possible for me in such a short period of time. I can't thank you enough for your personal correspondence. That has made this all work, you've answered everything I've asked and it's pointed me in the right direction. I hope we can meet some day when I've gotten to the maintenance level and I can show you just how much your program has done for me. Maybe put up a few reps together sometime. I can already see it in my minds eye, now it's just a matter of staying consistent till it's in the flesh.

Thank you so much Francesco, I feel like a new man and a new man that's getting younger and stronger by the day, what a great program You have really made a big difference in my training and I'm seeing the results quicker than I would have ever thought possible for someone 54 years old. I feel twenty years younger than that.

All I have to provide is the body and the time and effort, the program is flawless, your money back gaurantee is safe, anyone who works the plan will get the results. If they ask for their money back it's their personal failure not your programs failure, you've done just what you promised, provided the needed diet and exercise program. I am more than happy with the results so far and can hardly wait to see my next set of pictures.

Life's Short, Get Big Now!

Hi Francesco,

After several years of enjoying the wonderful gain I had made in my physical health and in particular, the loss of all that weight and the great gains I had made on the MuscleNow program. A couple of years ago I had a pretty serious health problem that required some pretty strong medications that really depleted my body in some very unpleasant ways. I lost muscle at an alarming rate, my strength and endurance was gone. I could no longer even cut firewood to heat our home. I was on "chemo" for six months and wondered if I would survive the cure. The problem was that after the chemo I started feeling better, but I was as weak as a baby and it was a slow road to get back to the point that I could even think about returning to the program, I was playing catch up with all the things I had to let go for the two years I was so ill.

I had come to the point that I couldn't fit my clothes any longer due to the lack of structured eating and workout. I asked my wife if she would try working out with me and eating the right way as Francesco had taught me to do. She was hesitant at first but said she would certainly "try it". Much to my great pleasure she not only tried it but she tried it with such vigor that I had to contact Francesco about SLOWING her muscle gain. My wife took the the program with such determination that she was doing her sets to failure and fast reps, eating exactly what we were supposed to and making changes so fast I was amazed. This is a woman who has never lifted a weight in her entire life. My wife, Donna, has lost five inches from her waist in just four incredible weeks! She began to ask about the muscle mass gain she was experiencing. That is when I contacted Francesco for more personal help for my wife and I. The lifetime support I get from MuscleNow has been invaluable.

I will be sending progress reports periodically to update our progress. We are starting our second cycle this week. I tripled my strength during the first cycle and my wife had the most amazing gains I have ever seen in ANYONE, man or woman. Needless to say I am very proud of her. I can not tell you how wonderful it is to have your mate sending the time and energy with you to improve yourselves and literally increase the years we will have to spend together.

Thank you again Francesco. Just as I told years ago, you have changed my life forever, and now that includes my wife's life as well. We both thank you.

I am adding my email address here so that anyone even thinking about improving their life through better health, more vigor, and just plain looking better. I would love to share my experiences.

I wanted to thank you for your advice and interest during our email interchange. I learned a great deal from your input. I took a picture on my 50th birthday -- my semicentennial (five decades, two score and ten, or half a century). Compare against where I was just 18 months before.

Thanks again, and best wishes with MuscleNOW.

This is a great program I would recomend it to anyone! I have seen awesome results i went from 207 to 164 in weight my waist from 36 to 31 in about 2 - 3 months. In a few more months I am going to compete in a bodybuilding competion, its great, I am so happy.

I want to write you to thank you for designing this wonderful program. I had just finished six weeks of the fat loss phase and have begun a new cycle of the muscle building phase. The result has been both physically and mentally rewarding. I am 5'6" tall. My weight was 155 lb and my waist was 35" when I first started. By the time I had completed the first cycle, my weight had dropped to 147 lb and my waist to 28". My chest and biceps, however, have grown an inch respectively, looking firmer and bigger as the fat level assuaged.

I worked out with three trainers before and had tried many different theories, methods, and supplements. Last year, I had even given in to steroid precursors, which bulked me up to 180 lb. While my chest, arms and legs became massive and solid, I ended up with a 37" stomach. From a holistic medical standpoint, I also experienced side effects that were related to toxication of liver and kidney, and had a compromised immune system. I found that a lot of steroid users who recommended ways to administer these products and workout programs were highly uneducated and misinformed. The result was that my body would entail an increasing dosage of these products and supplements, whereas the accompanying training was often so strenuous that attending a gym had gradually become a burden. I did quit training for half a year after a minor work-related injury. Needless to say, the cost of purchasing these supplements made one wonder if bodybuilding was equivalent to creating debts.

Your program is a gift of which everybody who is interested in training would dream. It has answered every question that has been puzzling me for the past seven years. After reading the material, I have been feeling that you, a sagacious and earnest trainer, have been always with me to motivate my workout. The program has not only changed my physique, and has encouraged me to keep attaining an increasingly higher and practical goal with patience and perseverance. It has truly maximized my physical and mental potential. It has certainly boosted up my immune system, and I would not hesitate to admit that it has even increased my hormonal level in a positive, constructive, and natural way. I have also noticed a very affirmative energy within me that helps my life and creative work in general. In other words, what I have gained from your program is beyond a physical transformation.

Once again, I would like to thank you again for your work, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn from you. I am sure that this is only the beginning and I will experience something similarly or even more amazing as I progress by following your program.

Dear Francesco,

I would just like to give you an updated photo and a quick note of my progress. I have not stopped using your program ever since I have purchased it seven months ago. My body fat level kept lowering and I have finally achieved a level of definition, especially on my abs and arms, of which I have never dreamt before. My chest and arm measures maintain the same from the last time I wrote you, and my waist is now about 27 1/2 inches.

Once again, this is a truly amazing program. I am now trying to focus on bulking from this week on. Hope that everything is going well with you.

Francesco,

I just want to thank you; I am a Doctor of Chiropractic and found myself grossly overweight. I was gaining weight slowly over the last several years, and my busy practice seemed to have distracted my attention. One day I found myself getting very tired after playing with my 5 year old boy. I knew then I couldn’t put off losing the excess weight any longer.

Now as a doctor, I have some training in physiology and nutrition. However, I had very little experience in practical application of that knowledge. I began a search for information regarding application of nutrition and exercise to loose weight, and I came across your website MuscleNOW.com. After reading the information at the website and pondering for several days, I realized that what you had fit very well with my concepts and philosophy as a Chiropractor. I quickly ordered your program MuscleNOW, and waited patiently for it too arrive.

After receiving your program, I sat down and read it immediately. I was very impressed with the depth on knowledge and with the ease of understanding. Once finished I began to apply the information for the Fat Loss phase, which I am currently working on. The results have been amazing. See for yourself in the pictures above.

I began my Fat Loss phase a little before I received your program, and I had a 46 inch waist, 35% body fat, and weighed 250 pounds at a height of 5'11 1/2 ". After following the program for fat loss for a little under 4 months, I have lost a total of 58 lbs (current weight of 192 pounds), 12 1/2 inches from the waist (now 33 1/2 inches), and 19 1/2 percentage points from my body fat (currently 15 1/2 %). I still have a few pounds to go before I reach my goal weight of 175lbs, at which time I will start to sculpt the lean mass using the muscle building phase from Francesco’s program.

It’s just absolutely amazing how fast my body’s changed since starting with musclenow. I have just started on my 3rd cycle so that means I’ve been doing it now for around 13 weeks. If you look at my pictures which were taken right before I started and now, you can see the difference. I’ve been working out off and on (more off though) for about 8-10 years. Ever since starting lifting weights, I’ve always been told that I just should eat healthy food and eat more than usual so that way it sustains muscle so then I can build more muscle. Also, I’ve been under the misconception that there’s no real need to worry about fat much as long as I work hard in the gym because that’ll burn it off and PLUS..muscle eats fat so that will be taken care of with time. Well, learning and using this program sure changed all of that thinking! I’ve realized just how important it is to eat the right things, when, and how much. All of these factors play important roles. Francesco’s program has taught me how to do it all. Mind you, I NEVER knew anything about looking at food labels and measuring my meals or any of that before starting this program. It’s taken time and practice. Now, I’ve gotten much better. Francesco has been there every step of the way for me. Most every time I email him for something, I get a reply the next day. Not only has he helped me in the muscle building and fat loss areas which is his job, he’s gone further to explain how I should avoid lots of different food that I would have never known to avoid for reasons such as it’s cancer causing. He hasn’t had to do that seeing as there are quite a lot of things out there to eat and it will help build muscle however, it’s not good for health. I was working out pretty hard core for about 8 months before getting this program. I did increase in my strength on my workouts but I also got fat and you couldn’t really see any of my muscle. Using this program, I’ve changed all that. I see guys in the gym working out pushing an enormous amount of weight but they look like fat couch potatoes! If I saw them outside of the gym I would never imagine in a million years that they’ve ever even seen a gym. I used to wonder when I saw them why they don’t look better than they do. Well, now I know. They’re not using a program like this to change the way they look. This program will transform you!!

Dear Francesco,

I hope you're doing well lately. I would like to tell you that life has taken me to start my own business as a publisher of a health newspaper here in Hong Kong. I bought the franchise from California and am operating here now. I would have never done any of this without your MuscleNOW program! I've gotten my brother in Florida onto the program and it seems that he really likes it as well.

Well to start I am a 27 year old male and have been slightly overweight or FAT if you prefer since I can remember. In the past I had tried the latest high protein diet with not much success, I also tried the protein drinks, and the good old starvation diet. Still I only lost a pound here and gained two or three there! So I surfed the internet and found the Fat Vanish site. I had to have read the site on five or six different occasions and I finally decided I would try it. I must admit I was very skeptical, but I agreed the money back guarantee could not be beat. So I received the program and I began implementing the information from the program around two months ago. At that time I weighed 230 lbs. By following the system and implementing all of the information I received, the weight literally started vanishing! At first people that did not know what I was attempting called it water weight etc. Whenever I ran into people that said this I informed them of what plan I was on and told them a little bit about it. I also joined the gym and started working out, for the first month I did cardio (running). After the second week on the plan my pants started to loosen up and I was starting to get a real good feeling about this.

Well three weeks turned into four and I had lost around 23 pounds. Well here I sit typing this and its been a little over 2 months and I now weigh 180 pounds that's a 50, that's right 50 pound loss and I feel great!! I had to go clothes shopping and everything, My mother told me she hasn't seen me this thin since I was six! And everyone else I run into can't believe it either, I am always getting compliments and everyone wants to know how I did it and I tell then all about the program and where to get it! I have been told I look younger, completely different etc. Now I'm at the point where I don't know if I need to lose more or what, I never thought I would have that problem, although I still need to do some additional toning etc..!! So to make a very long story short, the program is great, Francesco is a huge help with any questions and the first step is to order it and find out for yourself, if you follow the program you will lose that unwanted weight and you will feel better. Thanks!!

The following experiment was conducted by a freelance author who lives in the United Kingdom, and she wrote the following summary of her findings:

I am Emma Powdrill, a freelance writer residing in the United Kingdom, and as the world's popularity soars into an overweight frenzy, we decided to try out some popular diets that claim to help you shed some unruly pounds.

One of the ones we decided to test was the Fat Vanish program written by Francesco Castano. This diet claims to help banish the fat without any hard exercise and diet pills. Our tester Amanda Delallio is an average UK housewife whose weight soared after the birth of her 3 children.

No matter what I tried, I just couldn't lose the excess weight I had gained during my 3 pregnancies, so I was happy to be a tester for this particular diet. I have a very busy lifestyle caring for my family and needed something that was easy to follow, this seemed like just the remedy," says Amanda.

We put Amanda on the Fat Vanish program for 3 months, with thanks to the author who kindly donated the plan for our experiment.

"I started the diet program with high hopes and promised myself that I would stick to it word for word! When I received the program, it looked complicated, so I was a little worried I might lapse."

Although once Amanda started, she soon found the program really easy and was able to stick to it, even with her busy schedule as a mother of 3.

"The first week went by very quickly and I was surprised at how I was finding it easy to stick to! With my children I have chocolate and crisps everywhere I look but I found I was satisfied with what I was eating, and didn't feel the desire to snack on all the unhealthy food I once craved."

Amanda managed to lose an incredible 3 and a half stones (49 pounds) in the 3 months and is now a svelte size 12!

I have never felt sexier and healthier; I am so glad I took on the challenge offered to me. I want to thank Fat Vanish for a well thought out diet plan, without that, I would still be the size 18 I was 3 months ago, maybe bigger."

Amanda kindly allowed us to use her before and after pictures (shown above) so others can witness her achievement. 

Francesco,

I have been on your fat vanish diet for many months now not following it to a tee though. I still have to work out with wieghts too. This program really tones up your body and helps you get in excellent physical shape. Lost about 15 punds in 12 weeks and have stuck with it. As for your course I put it into practice with my swimming, and with the bc specail olympics and won three medals. a gold a silver and a bronze. Your helpful tips in the course and my willingness to put it into practise with my Lord as savour, also helped out.

Pictured are three of the medals I won at the BC special olympics Provincials. I won a Gold in the 50meter backstroke at a time of 56.890, and a silver in the 50 meter freestyle at a time of 44.180, and a bronze in the 4 x 50 relay. That's the fruit of your fat vanish diet.

Thanks for the course.

It has been 1 year of training and I must say the results have now started to speak for themselves. I am becoming huge, I mean when i flex my bicep and chest the entire shape of the muscles are visible even with the shirt etc.

I must say i am so turned on with the mass building stage that i did not even started the fat cutting phase yet. The trainers in the gym are asking me what supplements i am using etc and when i am doing my sets they quietly go through my workout chart and weight chart that you have provided me. I mean each day I am keeping on adding weight, I mean the strenght etc are just sky rocketing each time. I must say the results took a bit time but now they are comming at a great pace. Soon I am going to send you a picture you will be surprised, I mean i started at 55 kgs and now I am 70 plus kgs in a year.

I want to say that if you remember around 8-10 years back when my sister ordered the manual for me from london. I was 55 kgs mostly fat and now i am 90 + kgs with around 9-10 % body fat. ALL NATURAL.

I remember there were days when i started out, i used to be on my knees and in tears because my mind wanted to give up but the heart wanted to continue always, that is when i always emailed you for motivation and you did that for me always. You will not believe me but when i felt i cannot do it, I always made printout of your emails for motivation. Sometime i secretly even took the printouts to the gym this is when i started out. The motivation made the difference because i knew it was coming from a top bodybuilder who is natural and not from some foolish so called bodybuilder. I started believing in my self.

Honestly speaking i always wanted to go hard and never believed in cycling the diet like going down 500 calories etc. I felt this was foolish. I mean i always felt you want to grow big then you have to eat big. I always had questions about your manual.

However i came to my senses when i hired a pro bodybuilder from the US for online diet and consultation. He gave me the same theory and i the felt that francesco know his job. However when i realized this my pocket was 900 dollars lighter, thanks to the pro bodybuilder consultation which went on for nearly 1 month.

All and all I just want to say there are no shortcuts. I used Francesco Castano's program to build the solid base and foundation for around 3 years and now i have modified it to my own. However the base foundation remains the same.

The one thing that makes his manual priceless is the lifetime support. I mean i remember asking almost everything. I think most of my questions always missed the target and were based on some foolish questions other than bodybuilding most of the times, like dangerous anabolics etc. he always replies back.

This is a 5 year transformation all natural with a lot of blood and sweet. Remember these are raw pics no fancy lights and no fancy camera.

God Bless.
