Francesco,

I want to say thanks for the MuscleNow program. This is actually my second time around with MuscleNow. As you can see in the first picture I had let myself go. I am 5’6” and at the time I was 240lbs with a 46” waist. I actually thought that I “wore” the weight well (self denial). At this particular time I was taking Muscle Milk (banana flavor) and thought that I was muscular (aka power lifter). I often found it hard to find clothes (at 46” waist with a 30” inseam). My ankles were always stiff and sore. I couldn’t walk a city block to save my life. I purchased the FatVanish for my fiancée (whom has also gotten great results) and decided to start back on the MuscleNow track. I will admit that it wasn’t easy. If weight loss was easy everyone would be skinny. You have to go 100% in the gym. You have to buy into the MuscleNow program 100% also. If you give the MuscleNow program anything less you will not see astonishing results. I want to thank my brother Phil (uses MuscleNow also) whom I talked to before starting (for inspiration) because I felt I was too far gone (aka FAT).

I feel great. I walk around with my head up. My confidence is through the roof. I’ve been able to shop in the “normal” sections of department stores vice Big and Tall shops. I still have a couple of Fat loss and Muscle Building phases to go. From there I will enter the maintenance phase (more pictures to follow). Keep in mind that I did have Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I also went on vacation (good food). I also attended my fiancées company Christmas party (good food). In spite of that I went 100% in the gym and still lost weight/fat. FRANCESCO’S PROGRAMS (FATVANISH AND MUSCLENOW) WORK!! Here are the measurements that accompany my picture:

I do have to give you alot of the credit. You made it possible for average Joe's to become healthy. You did it without expensive gimmicks, gadgets or supplements. You came up with the programs and made them available for a very cheap price. I've personally had alot of trainer's in my life (spending about $200 apiece) and have never gotten the gains in strength, health, and most importantly pride that I have with your programs. I would be honored for you to post my email address with my testimonial so that I can let people now that you are the REAL deal.  Thank you my friend.

I just finished a Muscle Gain stage. I feel great. Still making progress. I still have a little ways to go. I can't thank you enough for what you have done to help me live healthier and happier (self-esteem). More pics to follow.

Francesco,

How are things going? I've been doing great. I'm still getting compliments from the appearance changes that I've achieved with MuscleNow. My measurements are wght: 165lbs waist: 33.5 Bodyfat: 7%. The last photo you have of me I was 155lbs with a 31 6/8 waist. I look pretty much the same but my chest and arms are bigger. You are correct (in MuscleNow you addressed this) once you get by the paranoia of gaining a little weight you will achieve more results. I've made incredible gains of strength in the gym. I'm lifting more (with form) weight than I thought I ever could. Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you once again.

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'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.

Hi Francesco,

My full name is Alen Esmaelian and I live in Southern California in the city of Reseda, and I am 23 years old. I would first like to start off by saying that your program has made a huge difference in my life this past year. I originally purchased your program three years ago and after so many failed attempts, I was finally able to put all of your principles to use this past year. I started off at 240lbs. and a 43 inch waist.

I was the type of person that looked kind of muscular and big with my shirt on, but off, I just looked plain fat and sloppy. So I decided to go on your fat loss program, and as a result of the rapid results I stayed on it until this day. I am currently 165 lbs. and have a 27 inch waist. Hopefully my testimonial will motivate people to get on your program and stick with it. I have told many people about your program and even swear by it.

I think I will stick with the fat loss program just a while longer so that I can achieve more definition, especially in the abdomen region. Then I will switch to the muscle building phase.

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.

After ten years of working out regularly and seeing less than satisfactory results, I spent three and half years devoting little time to fitness and put on fifty pounds of fat. I had tried spending two hours a day in the gym, several different diets, and countless supplements that promised to help me reach my muscle building goals. While I saw modest results from my efforts, I didn't feel that the return was adequate for the amount of time, money, and effort I was spending to achieve my desired physical improvements.

I eventually become disgusted with the amount of body fat that I had gained and decided to give body building another shot. I decided to count calories as a way to lose fat. While I did actually lose about 30 pounds, I lost quite a bit of muscle in the process as well due to a lack of nutrition. I was searching the internet for a way to get back on track with gaining muscle while not putting on too much fat in the process. I stumbled upon MuscleNow and after seeing the testimonials paired with the 90 day money back guarantee, I decided that I had nothing to lose and purchased the system.

It took me about 2 days to read through the entire program. Everything is explained in a common sense fashion and can be understood by people looking to begin changing their bodies. While I had to make some changes in my schedule, diet and workout routine, the changes weren't overwhelming and after two weeks, I was following the program with ease. While the program offers a fat loss and muscle building phase, I decided to follow the fat loss program since I still had some unwanted body fat that I wanted to get rid of.

The results were incredible even after the first week. I lost a half of an inch of off my waist after just the first week! After following the fat loss phase for 9 weeks, I have lost 5 inches from my waist and can finally show off the six pack that I haven't had in over 6 years. If you would have told me that such incredible results could be gained in just 9 weeks, I would have thought that you were crazy. I achieved better results in 9 weeks than what I had achieved over the past year of working out and dieting. If the muscle building phase works as effectively as the fat loss, I can't wait to see the transformation that will take place in a few weeks when I switch to muscle building.

After these 9 weeks, I have received compliments from all of my friends and family and have even gotten paid from MuscleNow for friends that purchased the system because of the results that they noticed on my body. This system is the real deal and I can't recommend purchasing it enough. The price of this program is a bargain to achieve the kind of life changing results that you will undoubtedly see if you follow the system as it is described. Thank you Francesco for taking out all of the guess work and providing a system that really works...fast!

I have attached pictures of my progress over the past nine weeks. I will be sure to send updates as I continue to transform my body using MuscleNow.

Thank you for the encouragement and for the incredibly effective system that you have provided.

God Bless.

Francesco,

After not even one year on your program I have increased my strength on all lifts by at least 50% and have lost over 13% body fat! MuscleNow is continuing to transform my body and has changed my life. I am more confident in all areas of life because of the success I have been able to achieve using MuscleNow. It is awesome to see how so many people are amazed at the results that I have acheived. Just look at the definition in my abs and obliques! What is also incredible is that I have gained over 10 pounds of muscle mass to go along with the 13% decrease in body fat. I cannot recommend this program enough. For anyone looking to transform their body, MuscleNow will get you the results you have always wanted. Thank you for all of your assistance throughout the past months Francesco; I couldn't have transformed my body without your help. My statistics are as follows:

I also want to note that these numbers do not fully do justice to my progress because I spent about 4 months on muscle building where I neglected my cardio (I now realize that was a huge mistake) and increased my caloric intake much too fast which put my measurements back where I had started after I had dropped 25lbs and lost 5 inches on my waist. So in reality, over the past year I actually lost a total of 65 pounds and 12.75 inches from my waist - all while dramatically increasing my strength. I hope this helps and I will continue to provide transformation updates. It is the least that I can do for you after you have provided me with a system that actually works after spending many years of much effort in the gym with little rewards.

I will continue to keep you updated on my physical transformation progress. Thanks again and may God Bless you for dedicating your life to helping others live a more healthy and fit life!

I am getting tired of dealing with the inconveniences that go along with my membership at my local gym, and I wanted to make sure that I found a piece of equipment that is smooth and will not sacrifice the results I have been able to achieve at my local gym. Yesterday I purchased all of the home gym equipment I will need to workout at home. It should be arriving late next week, at which time, I will be resuming my weight workouts. Your brother, Greg, was extremely helpful throughout the process and provided me with unbeatable pricing through IncrediBody.com. Thank you for the equipment recommendations and advice.

I received all of the pieces to my home gym (except one) and am really enjoying working out at home. The equipment is almost as smooth as the commercial pieces I was using at my local gym and I love being able to crawl out of bed and get on my elliptical machine. I am saving over 20 minutes of drive time to the gym every morning which allows me to sleep a little later or spend some extra time with my wife and daughter before heading to work. I feel that your brother was able to get us an exquisite deal on the equipment and I have no regrets regarding this purchase. I am continually thankful that I came across your MuscleNow program and don't know what my life would be like without it.

Hello, so far I've been following your program for 6 weeks and I've already lost 5 inches from my stomach, it's great.

I must say you do have the best program out there! I used it before to drop 65 pounds (265 to 200) and get my body fat down to 16.3%. Thank you Francesco and keep up the tremendously good work!

I've purchased many different workout regimens and diet plans in the past, however, NONE of my previous purchases let achieve quite what I wanted. Some would help me bulk up but not really lose fat, some would help me tone but end up costly me muscle. I've been working out for about 15 years now and don't really have a problem putting on muscle but staying lean has always haunted me (never had more then a 4-pack). 2 years ago I came across this program and decided to give it a go. After 4 months, I was transformed. I could start to see the all the muscle strands in my shoulders and arms flexing and twitching even when on my off days. Most importantly, for the first time in my life, I not only have a 6, but an 8-pack abs! I had bumps all over me! AND while I actually put on muscle! When I started this program, I had a bodyfat % of around 14...in four months, it dropped to 7! I went from 190 lb of soft skin to 195lb of rocksolid. I only gained 5 total pounds but if you take those numbers, I lost about 12-13 lb of fat and gained around 16-17 lbs of muscle. I don't know what I was doing wrong but I thank Musclenow for teaching me. Im so glad I spent the money on this program....knowing then what I know now....I would have spent $1,000 on it. If you follow EVERYTHING he tells you to do, from the diet to the workout to the intensity, the results are AMAZING!

Finally Ripped,

Francesco

Until just before my 50th birthday, I probably would’ve been voted the guy least likely to ever set foot in a gym. Lifting, grunting, sweating--- no thanks, not for me.

But reaching the half-century mark was a wake-up call, so I decided I’d better join a gym and get in shape. I was slender, a little bit skinny fat, as you call it, and had zero muscle. I wasn’t trying to get bulked and bigger really, just wanted to stay healthy and look more toned.

Things were going mostly okay. I was definitely seeing some small results , but it wasn’t enough. I was looking for more, so I turned to the Internet for advice. Lots of material about sets, reps, exercises, cardio, free weights vs. machines etc. The more I read, the more confused I became. I would still go to the gym wondering if I was doing the right things. After all, I’d suffered a nasty partial biceps tear from doing heavy bicep curls as my first exercise time after time, without even a warmup. Clearly I didn’t know what I was doing.

Then a trip to buy a suit led to a surprise when the tailor needed to let out the waist an inch and a half. Hold on, I thought, I’m going to the gym five days a week and he has to make the waistband larger? This was not good.

Enter Francesco Castano and the MuscleNOW program. I’d seen lots of other sites making promises, but something about his approach seemed genuine. It wasn’t cheap, but with a money back guarantee, I decided there was very little risk, so I signed on.

Well, I definitely made the right choice. Which exercises to do? Covered. Sets and Reps? Explained. Fat loss, food choices? Great details.

He takes the time to explain it all completely. He even builds flexibility into every area-- cardio, diet and strength training, so most people should be able to get what they need. He promises to respond to every email question, and he always does, very quickly.

I’d read that you can’t lose fat and build muscle at the same time. I think that means you can’t build massive amounts of muscle while losing fat, but if your goal, like mine, is to tone up, then muscle and fat loss seem to go together nicely.

I’ve even gotten some nice compliments at the gym, from serious muscle guys who know what they’re talking about.

My clothes still don’t fit. But now, the pants are too big.

Hi Francesco....I have been on your program from about 2 months now....All I can say is that you are the man!!!....I started out weighing 190lbs with a 38'' waist...I am now down to 157lbs with a 29.5'' waist...I got veins popping out in places that I didn't even know existed...If anything I am saving money by not eating McDonalds twice per day at school (Kent State), but I did have to go out and buy new clothes that actually fit and do not fall off my waist....trust me it is well worth it....I am not trying to take up your time but I have a pretty good story for you...a guy that I work with was identical to me in size and weight....2 months ago he got a membership to Bally's...right now he has only lost 10 pounds in 2 months, and he still looks like a blob....I keep telling him about your program and the wonders its done for me...but he won't listen...thanks for your time.

Francesco

First I've got to brag about your program. I started it earnest 16 months ago. Since then I have lost 50 pounds (265 down to 215) on my 5'11 1/2" frame. Due to my work and family obligations, I'm on your 3 times per week regimen, lifting Monday and Wednesday nights from about 7PM to 8:30PM typically, and again on Saturdays, either late morning or early afternoon. Your diet and exercise plan has helped me bring my cholesterol numbers that were in the 200's down to 166 at last count, and my body fat % is down from 43% to the low 20's. I'm a walking commercial for your approach.

Also, my son (age 15) has been working out with me for about a year. He had only about 20lbs to lose, and he is very well defined and muscular thanks to your program, and is enjoying his new image immensely! Thanks!

Francesco

I've dropped 45 pounds since I started your program and I almost have my abs showing! Thank you so much for your help! I just got the roll of film developed and almost cried when I saw my "Before" picture. I couldn't believe that I looked like that!! And to think people told me I was in "good shape" and that I was "just a big guy". Pictures don't lie or worry about hurting your feelings like people and friends do. I know that you are modest and always give credit back to me or any course member that thanks you, but if it wasn't for you taking the time and the effort to find out the "real" way to eat and lift correctly to get in optimum shape with out the use of steroids, drugs, or fad diets and sharing it with the world, I or any of your course members would have never been able to do it. So, for that I am truly grateful to you, and have been directing people to your website telling them it's the best money I've ever spent.

Again, thanks!

My waist is down from 40 inches to 37 from 3 weeks on your program, and I am getting so strong, I can just feel it!

OK I have been on your program for 5 weeks!!!!! Nice results in fat loss and tone. I wish I had pics to show you but I am down from a 40'' waist to a 35'' waist and from 200lbs to 190lbs with no muscle loss. The quality of your service is remembered long after price is forgotten!

Francesco,

I've been using your program for nearly one year. I recently turned 50 and hadn't had a physical in 3 yrs so this past Monday I got one. I got my lab reports yesterday. Last exam my total cholesterol was about 210 now it is 148, HDL is 54, LDL is 85, CHOL/HDLC Ratio is 2.74, my total PSA 1.2 and everything else tested just as good. My MD was pleasantly shocked and surprised, needless to say so was I. Your program is not only good for your outside but for your insides too.

I'm in better shape now at 50 than I was 25 years ago and bodybuilding wise have made improvements that I previously thought I was too old to make.

Francesco, I thought I would update you on my recent progress. In 7 months I have lost 42 lbs. So last Friday, I went to a local health club for a fitness analysis. My blood pressure was 100 / 70, resting heart rate was 60 bpm., and my total body fat was 7%. My definition and vascularity are greatly increased ,my abs are now visible and I have separation between my delts and arms. My arms and lower abs look like a road map, and I have a vein about the size of a pencil that runs from my knuckle all the way up to my shoulders. I have surprised everyone and especially myself. I didn't think it was possible but I look and I am more fit at 50 than I was at 20. Your program coupled with a little patience, discipline and consistency works great. Thanks for all your help and encouragement.

Hi Francesco,

Man, you sure are the real thing, at the beginning I was skeptical about this program, you have delivered what you promise and for me that its big, am a man of my word and sure you are too. I started the course only doing cardio, I did 6 weeks cardio monitoring my heart rate like you said, 30 minutes a day 5 days a week, and now am on my 3 week with cardio and weights, I went from waist size 43" 1/4 to 38" 1/2, a whopping 4" plus inches off my fat belly, my arms got 1/4 inch bigger, and I feel like new, growing like a baby.

A lot of people contact me, I tell them the truth about your program, it's the best out there.

Thank you.

Hi Francesco,

I just wanted to let you know that I have lost about 25 pounds and I look so different. I actually have abs, I have never had them. I also wanted to inform you that I have made considerable strength gains. Thank you!

11 days ago I started your plan, and my wife kept telling me that my stomach was going down drastically. She was so impressed that she started the diet and is as happy as a lark because she lost 2 lbs in one day. she will probably weigh every day. heh,heh,heh. We both thank you very much.

GOD Bless you young man, so far you're almost too good to be true.

219 to 205 in 14 days. You know where they pull blood out of your arm. Well, if I rub real gently on my right bicep, about 2 inches above the elbow crease, I can feel a vein starting to stand out and if you get the light just right you can "almost" see it. I've never had that before. I am really happy about this small detail!

I am now 194, with 25 total pounds lost, and over 5 inches from the waist.

Francesco

Where do I start really? I bought your program and gave it a ho hum approach some 2-3 years ago. With this weak approach i still saw results, however not the results i was looking for. For those 2-3 years I went to college and by the end of it let me tell you... I was absolutely disgusted. My gut had reached 43 inches and i weighed in at a rotund 233 pounds with, get this 25.5% bodyfat!

I have to admit, i did not think your program would hold any answers for me but i always knew my dedication wasnt there. So i said what the heck instead of doing it for 3 weeks then stopping for a month, I am going to do Francesco's program for one whole year straight and if it still doesn't work im going to tell him hes full of crap.

Hahaha yes Frencesco, its been 3 months and one week, I am now 200 pounds with 16.5% bodyfat, and i am JUST at the beginning of my snowball effect so i know the fat is going to start melting off like butter over a hot stove. Youre program IS perfect , the only thing it lacks is a dedicated person. I am glad and somewhat embarassed to say that your program entails all of the best and I am totally addicted to my results thus far and hope to go down to 185 pounds with a bodyfat of 7%.

Your program IS bodybuilding just without all of the crap that others want you to believe. I have always considered myself an honest man, and along with my statement from before, you can also include that there is no 2 weeks and look in the mirror and youre ripped kind of deal with this program. you work your butt off for 3 months, never miss a meal nor a workout and ALWAYS do ur cardio. and tell me there is no difference, ILL give them thier money back. (along with a swift boot to the rear for not putting in the effort).

Thank you for all of help and motivation, people in my gym are asking me what im taking and if they should use "hydroxycut" and what not hahaha. I tell them all the same thing, when youre ready to dedicate yourself to building a better body whether you want to lose fat or gain muscle, ill give you a site that will give you all of the info, what you do with it is entirely up to you.

I feel GREAT. Thank you Francesco you know your stuff!

Francesco,

Part of the reason that I have had so much success with your diet and training program is because it is very black and white, and combined with your e-mail service, it takes all of the guesswork out of diet and exercise. I have been on programs before that required me to make educated guesses and use various forms of rationale in which I had no idea of how accurate some of my choices were regarding training and diet. These types of systems have not been very effective for me because I never knew if I was on the right track. Concerns and doubts soon follow when you start thinking that perhaps your lack of results is due to misinformation or a poor interpretation of information. I should not have to spend time interpreting and making educated guesses about what was meant in various training and diet literature. Fortunately, I stumbled across your web-site, and I have found your program and invaluable e-mail service to be a blueprint for success, not merely thought provoking suggestions like you find in other training and diet literature. Based on your program, I now know how much and how often to eat, as well as the proper ratios of protein to carbs to consume at each meal. I know when to consume simple vs. complex carbs, and I also know exactly how many grams of protein and carbs to consume with each meal.

Your training program is also very straight forward, easy to understand and implement. What I am trying to say is that I attribute my success thus far to your blueprint manual on how to build a better body. I do not have to think, I just follow instructions and I know that I will achieve success. This is extremely motivating as well because in the past I have justified cheating on my diet and missing workouts by telling myself quote "I dont even know if I am implementing this program correctly, I am making all kinds of guesses and I feel that I am getting nowhere. I will start fresh next week with a different program, but for now, I might as well enjoy myself before I start fresh." Pizza Hut here I come. Most of the time it is cognitions like this that start binges. With your program, these kinds of thoughts and cognitions are not an issue, because I know exactly what I am doing, and where it is taking me.

On week 4 of the Musclenow program, I am very pleased to report that I have lost a considerable amount of body fat. I also wanted to say that it is amazing how much food I consume on the weekends yet do not add any body fat with the calorie increase, and when I reduce calories back to weekday levels and resume my training program on Monday, it is almost miraculous to watch the rapid reduction in body fat during the first 3 days.

Thank you so much for all of your help,

Francesco:

I just wanted to thank you for your program. Its been about 5 weeks since I have been using your system, my gains are incredible. I started off lifting about 5 years ago. Since a shoulder injury, weightlifting was off limits per doctors orders. I gave your program a shot, and with your online help with my question my shoulder feels so much better. I can perform a lot more exercises than I could before and could even think that I could again. Through the past 3 years out of the gym, my physique was average. And thru your program, and taking it somewhat easy because of my shoulder, I have noticed a huge difference. I started off at a gross 185 pounds, 39" chest, 35 1/2" waist and a disappointing 14 1/2" arms. 5 weeks later after your help I am now 178-182 pounds, 42" chest, 34 1/2" waist and incredibly, my biceps grew about 2" to 16". My strength is even more noticeable. I am now benching 80 lbs. on incline dumbbells, curling 45 lbs. and 105 on preacher, all for 4-7 reps. And every week, these seem to get easier with your program. I never thought I would be this strong again, nor did I think I would be back in this good of shape.

Thank you so much, this program rocks!

I purchased your MuscleNOW course approximately three months ago and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. I appreciate what the wisdom of your experiences has allowed me to achieve with respect to my fitness goals. It is my opinion that you should rename your program "the guide to adding power to the human body (without the bull)." I can confidently say that your program is the most comprehensive, best written, and easiest to follow (the logic) that I have ever read. After a couple of weeks of following your course you can actually feel your body becoming a fire breathing machine. I have never read anything that emphasizes the importance of not only nutrition, but also of sleep. It is one of those things that makes sense, but to actually be able to feel your body grow after a healthy meal and a good night's rest is amazing.

I decided that now was the proper time to send you a message because I am going to get 4 of my 6 pairs of dress pants tailored this afternoon. I bought my clothes for work when I graduated college in June. It's been two months since I purchased your program, and now my pants won't stay up. I've lost 1 1/2 inches around my waist since then, though I've only lost about 10 pounds in total body weight. I am fairly confident of the composition of those 10 pounds that I've lost since my body fat has declined by almost 2% while my bench press has gone up about 40 pounds.

I can't stress enough how informative your program is. The timing of aerobic exercise coupled to meal times for maximum fat burning is something I haven't heard anywhere else.

Hi,

I'm really pleased with the program so far. I've dropped an average of 2.5 pounds per week consistently! I just wanted to say how glad I am that I bought this program.

Thanks for your help and once again this program has done wonders.

Well, here is the deal I started your program 5 months ago at 233lbs with a 41inch waist, and I am now a 33inch waist and 190lbs. with 9.5% Body Fat. I have been an advent promoter of your program I try to teach and tell everyone I meet about your program and website.

Hi Francesco,

Just to tell you that I've achieved some progress. I've managed to drop from 72 to around 68-69 kilograms in less than 2 weeks. My mid section looks slimmer, and I think (I hope I'm not hallucinating) I can see the sides of my love-handles melting away (the fat I mean). Also, the fat in the area of my arm-pits have kinda.... disappeared. And I can now actually see the wings (what do you call them actually.... :P) and can also that my chest has kinda already separated from my arms :)

It's a wonderful feeling to look at myself in the mirror :) I thank GOD for letting me stumble across your program. Will inform you more on my progress in the weeks and months to come :)

I'm starting to see veins on my biceps. I've actually been on the program for 7 weeks now. Tremendous fat loss (as I've told you be-4) :)

It seems that I am noticing some improvement in my chest area. Seems to be getting less fatty and there seems to be muscle development. My chest is a bit 'abnormal' U see, becuz there is this one spott in the middle, where no flesh seems to grow :P Kinda scary uh? anyway, I can see that muscle has grown around it... and I am quite happy about this improvement. I can also see that when I harden my stomach, the upper abs are showing more clearly :)

Hi there Francesco....

Firstly... I'd just like to say that...

My body is in its best shape ever :) Thanx for the great programme

Veins are also showing on some parts of my chest... as well as my biceps. And the number of veins has also increased on my forearms :D And the shape of my forearms are also getting a bit weird... Their actually looking a whole lot....well.... MUSCULAR! HAAHAHAHAHA!!! :) I am happy :D tq tq

My abs are also getting FLATTER! And when I flex... I can see the upper 4 :P

I have to say, that you are the best entrepreneur I've dealt with. The most honest and one thats very concerned with customers. Never found this type of 'service' anywhere else.

Mr. Castano, First, I would like to take a moment to praise you on this program. For the first time, I actually have a routine to follow, that is producing results. I have just completed the first six week rotation, and recorded increases in strength across the board. I have also recorded a 6% drop in body fat. and lost an additional 10 pounds. I'm hooked! Thank you for making it so easy to follow the routine.

Hi Francesco,

I have an update on my progress. So far in 14 weeks on your program I have lost an amazing 40 pounds. My weight has gone from 230 to 190 pounds during this amount of time.

I am telling everyone I know about this awesome program.

I have been reading all of the testimonials from various people about how much weight they lost and I thought you might be interested in how much I have lost. I have always been big. I played football in high school and that was my introduction to weight lifting. I have worked out off and on for the past 18 years and I have to say that I thought the plan you laid out would not work. So i was dead set on proving you wrong. I mean there was no way that all the coaches, weightlifters, bodybuilders, and powerlifters I have known were wrong. You had to be crazy. Well I set out on my quest debunk your theories 10 months ago. I have been on your program ever since. I wanted to lose some weight and gain muscle. I started out at 315lbs 6' 0". My waist measurement was 53". To date I weigh 267lbs and my waist measurement is 42". That's a WHOPPING 48lbs and 11" in 10 months. I can't thank you enough for this program. I have even got the attention of my gym's top bodybuilders asking me what I am doing. My strength has increased tremendously. My bench went up from 245 to 280, squat from 365 to 455, incline from 145 to 205, leg press from 990lbs with both legs to 900lbs with one leg, and shrugs from 365 to 655. So all the people out there who think, like I did, that this program will not work DON'T BE STUPID! Stop wasting time. The only regret I have is that I didn't start it sooner. Thanks for changing my life.

The last time I wrote you I had lost 48lbs and 11 inches in 10 months. Well it is 3 months later and the weight is still coming off and the strength is still going up. I have the best upper body development that I have ever had. I am starting to see veins in places that I didn't even know I had veins. My family and friends have noticed that I am becoming more cut and ripped every time they see me. I have after following your program for 13 months and 11 days lost 65lbs and 13 inches off of my waist. I have maintained the same arm size (17.5 inches) and my legs have actually grown. All this in 13 months. I have never felt better. I have to buy new pants again. This will be the second time. I just wanted to thank you again. I also wanted to reassure all the skeptics out there that this program works if you work it. Thanks again and I will keep in touch.

I began this approximately two months ago and my results are shown below. The chest size reduction must have been fat loss. I have consistently increased weight or the number of repetitions each time I lifted. I feel much stronger and I'm started to see veins and muscle definition that I have never achieved before.

I must say I have caught myself more than once doing a double take noticing myself in the mirror at the gym now. I am amazed at the muscular definition I am developing.

I just wanted to say "Thanks." I was fat as a kid and have always had a stigma about my appearance, even though in clothes, I look fine. It's great to know that I can finally have the body I always wanted.

Thanks for everything,

Hi Francesco,

I want to tell you that I began the program 5 weeks ago, and I have seen some excellent results. I began the program weighing 190 pounds...not OBESE for me, because I had a lot of muscle, but definitely overweight. At this point, I weigh 182 pounds. 8 pounds in 5 weeks is pretty good for any long-term diet or lifestyle change, I think, but the real treat is that I know I have lost far more than 8 pounds of fat, since I am certain that on your program, I have put on a few pounds of muscle. I've lost about 5 inches off of my waist and see no sign of that slowing down, so the fat-loss phase in which I'm working is definitely effective.

I want you to know that I was doing a low-carb, high protein diet for about 3 years. I had indeed lost weight, but eventually my body just STALLED. I wasn't losing any more weight. Beyond the physiological effects on the muscles and fat, I think your program has a very powerful effect on curbing appetite and equalizing chemical balances that might otherwise lead towards intense cravings for different types of foods.

Best regards.

I started your program approximately six weeks ago and have been good results I started at 6'2" and 215 lbs. and 25% body fat. Now I'm 204 and 21%. I've also started bench press at 60 lbs now I'm up to 195 lbs, all my weights have increased thanks to your program.

If I could have found your plan 20 years ago (I don't know when you started publishing), I would have save myself hundreds if not thousands of dollars on supplements, pills and diets that promised the world but delivered almost nothing except a lighter wallet.

Your program is the best weight lifting program I've have ever tried. I make gains every week, I can hardly believe the results. Thanks!

Francesco,

just wanted to let you know after the first week, woke up the morning and i lost 2.6 pounds and gained 1/8 inch on my biceps...

i did low carb [south beach, atkins] this year and had no improvement and didn't feel well lost weight but had no energy to lift. now i can eat cereal, tortillas, bread again.....juice! it is great. it takes planning but it is easy.

Thanks.

Hi Francesco,

I completed my 3-month program of the fat loss phase two weeks ago. My weight decreases from 61.2 kg to 58.6 kg. My waist decreases from 82 cm to 78 cm, and the caliper measurement shows the decrease from 21 mm to 10 mm. My upper body shows more definition and my abs is now flat. I plan to continue the fat loss phase until I reach the caliper measurement of 5-6 mm. I noticed that besides losing fat, I also became more muscular.

Francesco,

I have been following your program for just over a week now and I am so please with results. The first week I've lost over 5 pounds of fat and 3/4 inches off my waist, gaining 1/2 inch on my left bicep( it was smaller than my right). Needless to say I'm on the fat loss phase of the program. I'm anticipating reaching my fat loss goal in 12 weeks. Thank you so much for this course.

I am so excited to be doing this and to have found your program. I can not thank you enough.

First of all, thanks again for providing this wonderful program. I love it and I have made great progress. My weight has dropped from 208 to 175 in just over 12 weeks. My waist size from 39 inches to 33.5 inches. I've been following the fat loss phase, of course, and though I haven't gain inches in my muscles yet, I've certainly get strength and I'm getting some nice definitions in my arms and shoulders. I've set some ambitious yet attainable goals for myself. One being reduce body fat percentage to 8%. Based on my height (6'2") current weight and waist size and by looking in the mirror, I thought I had about 12-13 pounds of fat to go.

I had my annual physical yesterday with my doctor which was great by the way. God bless you.

Francesco

I am receiving great results from your program! I am starting my second cycle this week and I can't believe how much progress I have made. I love lifting now. Even on my days off, I want to lift, but I don't. I have achieved more results in 6 weeks on your program than I did in my entire year of lifting. I have some pictures I took maybe a couple of days into the program, but I have to get them developed. I will send them to you sooner or later. Anyway, thank you for your knowledge, and if anyone is skeptic, you tell them to call me. Even other people are noticing. I am so excited. Sorry this is so long, just wanted to let you know how things were.

Ryan Vernon here. To make a long story short, i ordered your program about 4 or 5 years ago. I followed the program for about 8 months and made huge gains. Well, i am embarrassed to say when the "real world" hit, i got off off the program and lost just about everything i had gained. On August 1st, I decided i was tired of being overweight and feeling like crap all the time. I am proud to say that as of today, I have lost almost 40 pounds (238lbs to 202lbs) and I look even better than I did the first time. I have followed the diet as close to perfection as possible. I can now drive by Mcdonalds (and the like), and not even think twice. I have gone from a 43" waist to a 36" waist, and I am still losing weight and inches. I can almost fit into a 34" pair of pants. I can not believe it!!

What's more amazing is my shirts are fitting tighter, i look more muscular, and my wife loves the way i look. I still want to lose a couple more inches before i jump to Category A guidelines. I can't begin to imagine the gains i will make when i increase my food intake. I have taken pictures along the way and will send them to you when i am a little more satisfied with my physique.

Well, i will let you go. i just wanted to share my story with you. This program has worked for me TWICE. Once in college, at 21 years old, and now at the age of 26. Thank you so much, you have definitely changed my life!!!

God Bless You,

Hi Mr. Castano! Thank you for all of your help with the MuscleNow program. I am on week 19 and have had incredible results! I did a bodybuilding-type diet four years ago; I looked great but it was too extreme and I was just about insane by the end. :) I'm sure you've been there. This time, I'm mentally doing great and look excellent too! I greatly appreciate all of your efforts. I have a perfect amount of muscle mass for a female and my abs are showing (I've dropped 30 pounds and 11.5 inches off of my waist) and I wear a size 0-2 at about 118 pounds (I'm 5'1 and as you know this is a lot of weight as a very small person which is fine.)

FYI You should also know, since you've probably dealt with this before and this info could help you with other people....I was diagnosed with Graves disease in March and was not permitted to work out at all. They released me to work out in January of the next year and I started your program when my thyroid was still DYING after radioactive iodine treatment (which I received twice.) They were still regulating my synthroid until March of that year! So now we know, even with a dying thyroid, with enough determination and an excellent trainer such as yourself--the sky's the limit! Thanks again.

My husband and I would like to say thank you very much for your wonderful program. I am down two pant sizes and my husband has lost 30 POUNDS in 3 months!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

You might remember me ordering your program after talking to you through e-mail for a while. Well I have not even began on the FULL course yet, just keeping the concepts in mind when eating and excercising. So far Ive lost 20lbs of fat, lowered BOTH numbers on my blood pressure TWENTY POINTS (it was 145/98 now its 128/77), I also increased my pull-ups from ZERO to FIFTEEN (this just blew me away)! Before buying the program I weighed 210lbs, now I am down to 190lbs, because of this I have decided to join the school wrestling team. In addition to losing weight, I have became much stronger, that is how I know all the weight I lost is fat! Regretfully I dont have a good before picture, but I will certainly get one before starting the full program. I'd just like to say, THANKS, this is an awesome program and I am SO glad that I bought it. I will recommend it to all of my friends.

Started wrestling today and I kicked some butt, it's my first year (I'm 16 years old) and I beat 2 second year people in a practice match. I could not believe that, the program helped me get MUCH stronger while losing fat! I increased my bench 30lbs, from 245 to 275!

Thanks from a VERY satisfied customer!

I have spent 3 years losing weight and gaining weight, trying what every supplement out there. Never have i felt so comfortable in my own skin until i found the internets natural steroid. With the help of Francesco my confidence in and out side the gym has boosted. I've just started my second week and though what i have written sounds corny i can't express how great it feels to know your getting somewhere with your workouts and the nutrition program is outstanding. Thanks again for giving me hope.

I have lost 20 lbs and 4 1/2 inches in 1 month. It is easy to follow and I still get to eat my favorite foods. My 14 year old daughter has been doing this with me and she has lost 15 pounds. Thank you for the awesome plan.

I finally have pictures for you. I lost 38 lbs and went from a size 14 to size 6 in 4 months. Thank you so much.

I was a three-sport athlete on my way to a Division one school until I blew out my knee in the summer of my senior year, which resulted in seven knee surgeries, including Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Lateral Meniscus reconstruction, infections, two torn tendons and right femoral nerve damage. My most recent surgery just occurred last month, for reconstruction of my Left Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and I am still on Fatvanish keeping the weight off. I tried to play at the colligate level, but it was just too much for my knee to handle. I started to gain weight because of not being on a sports team and not being active or taking care of my body, adding a total of 30 lbs in college. My weight continuously increased year after year until I gave up the battle.

Several years ago, I found FatVanish.com and I became excited again about the potential to lose weight. I was doing great on the Fat Vanish Life change until I had a major life hiccup and fell into some depression after a bad break-up. (You know how some of us women can be.)

Three years ago I was involved in a major car accident, which resulted in a herniated disc and annular tear in my back, but I found my way back to Fat Vanish regardless. I restarted on the Fat Vanish program, at the time weighing a hefty 225lbs with a 45 inch waist. I am proud to say that by changing my lifestyle to match the Fat Vanish recommendations, I lost 93 lbs and now have a 25-inch waist.

Because of the Fat Vanish Program, I not only am far healthier, but I also reversed my most recent health issue of High Blood Pressure, chronic anemia and a high glucose level (Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Cancer run in my family.) Best of all, I have no High Blood Pressure and my anemia and allergies are almost non-existent.

With the grace of God, I followed Fat Vanish consistently, and have seen my body go from Flab to Fab!

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.

I just wanted to give you a quick update on my progress. So far, after being on the plan for 4 weeks, I've lost 17 pounds and about 3 inches. I'm not too sure on the inches part of it, but according to Curves, that's the decrease in inches. Anyway...I am so very happy and thank you so much. I'll be sure to keep you up to date.

I know it's been some time since an update so here goes....my total weight loss is up to 33 pounds and according to Curves, my total inches lost is somewhere in the low 20s. I thought I had an update sheet handy, but I do not. Also, at Curves, they are holding a Biggest Loser competition in which the winner gets 2 months free. According to one of the owners I am shoe-in! I can't tell you how happy I am with the progress I have made with my life change and I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge...I am forever grateful. I would love to see more people get involved with fatvanish. This is coming from someone who had to exercise vigorously for at least 60 minutes to lose even 2 pounds in one month. I am so incredibly happy with the success I have had with your plan. I truly can not thank you enough, and and God Bless You.

Hello Francesco,

I lost a total of 45 pounds while following the plan - the most I have EVER lost with any weight loss program.

Thank you,

7 weeks into it....lost 20.5 lbs and 5.25" off my waist...down 4 sizes!!

I have been having trouble getting to the gym to do aerobics and I found a great solution which has led to great workouts!! I am a very busy mother of three kids. (6yrs, 3yrs, and 8mo. old) I started incorporating my kids into my routine. I pop in a workout cassette (which you can find cheap on ebay) and we all just start dancing!! I do some of my favorite moves from aerobic classes or I chase the kids up and down the hall, skipping, hopping, etc... This is great fun for all of us!! My 8 mo. old giggles and hops in her bouncy seat and if she starts getting cranky I pick her up and carry her with me..that really intensifies things!! Occasionally I use my baby as a workout tool as well! She loves when I bench press her or do my squats while holding her ( she's a great counterweight for balance!) This has led to great memories for all of us, as well as great naps for the baby!! If you ever come across a frustrated mom feel free to share this idea, or share my email address with them. I hope this helps someone else achieve their goals, too. Thanks for sharing such a great program!!

I just wanted to let you know that after following the diet for one month with no exercise, I have lost 16 pounds and two inches. I will keep you updated of my progress.

Francesco,

My daughter and I have reached our first measurement day (2 weeks). WOW! I lost 2 1/2 inches at my waist and 7 pounds. My daughter lost 2 3/4 inches at her waist and 8 pounds We are so excited! Your program is so easy to follow and satisfying it's hard to believe it works (until you take measurements). I will keep you updated on our progress and will send you pictures when I've reached my goal. Thank you so much. :)

After my measurements yesterday, I have lost an additional 1 1/2 inches at the waist and 3 lbs for a total of 4 inches and 10 lbs in four weeks!!

I just wanted to tell you that I feel GREAT.. my pants are feeling a bit looser and I just feel pretty good.. I've lost about 9 pounds so far and it's only been like 3 weeks.. Thank you so much.

How are you doing?? I must say I'm going fantastically! I had my first genuine compliment today, one of the instructors at my gym asked if I'd lost weight because I was looking thin! It's really easy for me to see the progress as we must weigh ourselves, take our blood pressure etc... at the gym here every time we go.

To anyone considering this program, just do it!

I had been going to the gym for about 6 months trying to lose weight and working out in a way which I thought was right. However, the weeks would pass and nothing changed I was getting nowhere! Then one day when I saw photos of myself on vacation I knew I had to do something. This is when I found Francesco's site. At first I was a bit skeptical, but the testimonies, and writing to Francesco convinced me that this was something that would really work. I was really impressed with how quickly he personally replied to me too.

So far I have lost 7 kilos (15.4 pounds) on this diet, and people are starting to really notice the change and comment. I am never hungry and always satisfied with what I eat on the program, I think I eat a lot healthier too! I feel a lot happier these days about the way I look.

Thanks again Francesco

The weight loss has gone really well and I'm down to 63 kilos which is pretty close to my goal now (about 9 kilos lost in total).

Hello Francesco,

It has been a LONG time since I wrote to you, I think. I wanted to write and tell you how things are going for me and Fat Vanish.

This is about the 6 week mark for me. I have to say I am very pleased. I had a couple of weeks where I was on the road unexpectedly and that SERIOUSLY complicates the regimen... but I was thrilled to see that in that time while I didn't make new progress, I also didn't lose ground - phew! I am beginning week 7, now and have the following to report:

I am so happy - FINALLY I am taking off the fat! My husband is THRILLED!! ;)

Blessings to you, and I"ll be sure to keep you updated

Smiles,

Dear Francesco,

I have been on this program now for 8 days and I have lost 10 pounds!!! Within the 8 days I lost not only 10 pounds but also an inch off my waist and an inch off my hips!! I also lost 1/4 inch off my arms! As soon as I can get some before/after pictures made, I will send them to you.

I am just excited that I am actually seeing results!! I am down 1 pant size and I look forward to dropping more. I really appreciate the support and feed back to any of my concerns that I might have. Thanks again!!!

Francesco,

Thanks for your supportive emails and valuable information. First you sent Dan the muscle building program. We were impressed enough that we ordered Fat Vanish. I did reach my goal.. An inch and a half from my waist and hips. Like you said, the results are addicting. I've started another 6 weeks of the program. I'd like to see how low I can get my body fat. I wish I would have taken a picture before I started. I didn't think a couple of pounds would be noticeable enough. I can defintely see the difference though. I wiil take a picture this time and will be happy at any time to leave a testimonial.

Thanks for providing a great fat loss program.

Dear Francesco,

It is time to share my progress with you:

In only seventeen days (I started immediately after having read your program, on Thursday, and took measures on Sunday) I eliminated 7 cm from my waist and 3 cm from my thighs. My weight dropped 8 pounds and is still dropping. I am indeed very, very satisfied and grateful to you and I intend to stay on your program for a very long time.

Thank you for being there.

Francesco,

Here are the results of the first 2 weeks: 1 inch from my waist - 27" down from 28", 1 inch from around my abdomen - 34 inches down from 35 and 2 pounds on the scale.

I love the diet plan. It has been the easiest 2 weeks. I don't feel deprived, have no sweet cravings and really enjoy all the foods I am eating. I have been very happy so far!

Francesco,

I recently went for a glucose tolerance test and passed with very good numbers. The fasting glucose before ingesting the sugar drink was down to 103 this time. I have to assume that the 127 reading 2 months ago was somehow flawed and my actual glucose level dropped from it's usual 110 - 112 to 103 which is what I expected with the diet, exercise and resulting weight loss.

From the first of the year up until the first week of May I was following the Fat Vanish #6 diet, doing aerobics 5-7x/wk and doing biceps,triceps,chest press, chest flies and stomach crunches 2x/wk. This resulted in a 28-29 lb loss and about 5" in the waist. We did a lot of vacationing in May. While on vacation I didn't exercise at all, ate whatever I wanted, and drank much more alcohol than usual. In between trips I would get back to the diet and just now am getting back to exercising. I'm surprised but elated to say that even though I gained a pound or two here and there, they came right off once I got back on the diet/exercise routine. This is a true testament to your methods.

I've been traveling a lot this summer so it's been tough to stay on a good weight lifting schedule but I have managed to keep off 95% of the weight I lost early in the year just by doing aerobics 2 -3 times a week and eating as close to the diet as possible while still enjoying an unlimited diet on our trips. Any weight that comes back during our vacations is lost again as soon as I get back to normal (your diet is now normal for me) eating.

Hi Francesco,

Well I made it through the holidays without putting on much/if any weight. With all the unhealthy eating and drinking it was a pleasant surprise. So I'm still maintaining the 28 -30 pound loss for the past 7 months.

I'm a 19-year-old college student, and I've been overweight since the day I was born. With your course, I'm finally able to turn my life around. As a student, I don't have much money lying around, so I didn't bother buying a scale. I weighed myself for the first time at the gym today, and I was amazed with what I saw. In the 8 weeks I've been on your program, my waist has dropped from 37 to 33.5 inches and my weight has declined from 190 to 174 lbs. I've actually lost more fat weight than that, however, because of the muscle I've added to my body. I've been overweight for 19 years, and one of the most gratifying things about losing weight is watching the fat melt off of everything -- my face, my arms, my chest, my legs. My clothes are becoming looser and looser... You get the picture. Sorry to ramble on, but it's very cool to be getting thinner. I'm really looking forward to impressing my family when I see them in two months!

Thanks for everything. Every time I look in the mirror, I look better. I hope everything is as good for you as it is for me.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm down to 148 pounds (from 190) and I've gone from 37 inches around the middle to about 29. I hope you can keep helping people like you've helped me. I'm so much more self-confident now, and I just look SO much better. Of course, the downside is that I have to buy lots of clothes, because I look like a clown in the stuff I was wearing before. Oh well, that's one expense I'm grateful for.

Francesco,

I started your program about a month ago, and have achieved results I never thought possible in that amount of time! I never knew i could eat so much and lose weight. But after reading the part of your program about how the body goes into starvation mode, it all makes sense now. So far I have only followed the diet portion, but now I am ready to start a workout.

Let me start by saying your program has helped me greatly. So far I have lost 30 pounds, without taking a single pill, or drinking a single shake. I've been eating real food, and now I see that this is possible without supplements.

Thanks again for the help!!

I meant to write a while ago, but have not been able to. I wanted to let you know that your program is helpful far beyond the realm of fat loss. For years I was a smoker. I know, the worst thing anyone could ever do. When I started your program, I smoked, but because of the words you wrote in your program, I was able to quit. Particularly the phrase 'exercising the virtue of patience-it's a virtual key to success'. For the past 6 months I have been smoke free, and again, without the use of any supplement. All by myself. The right inspiration is the most powerful tool.

Unfortunately recent family matters have occupied so much of my time that I was unable to follow the program. (illnesses, deaths, other matters of emotional distress),. But today I am jumping back on board to continue my success. while off the program I noticed a gain in fat, and I will not settle for this! For so many years my friends were cigarettes, beer, and whiskey. Now my friends are chicken, fish, oranges and oatmeal.

One last thing. I found a way to not only incorporate cardio into my day, but also brighten my day. I got a dog. Every day we jog for 30 minutes, and on weekends we run around the park for an hour or so. This is such a great form of exercise. Plus, it's been said pets tend to put people in more positive moods, therefore making it easier to achieve their goals. I've noticed an incredible difference.

Fell free to post my message on your website. If so much as one of your clients is able to use it for motivation, then it makes it well worth the time it took to write it, and the time it takes for you to add it. Like you said, your words were a mere catalyst, as mine will hopefully be. Without a catalyst, there will never be a fire.

I hope business is going well for you, and I wish you luck in all future endeavors.

Happy to let you know that results are showing after my first 30 days on your program. I have lost 3 inches off my waist and dropped 11 pounds of FAT. I'm feeling great, and have more energy than I know what to do with.

Thanks to your plan, vision, and motivation, I'm on the way to a new me!

I just completed my 8th week on your program. To date, I am happy to report the following results: 5 inches of fat have vanished from my waist. I have lost a total of 19 pounds of fat, and can't tell you enough how great I feel! People are starting to notice the difference.

Francesco,

I received the Fat Vanish program about 1 month ago, and am now in the 5th week of practicing it. When I began, I weighed 280 lbs. At my first measurement (last Sunday) since beginning I now weigh 268 lbs. I also have much more energy, sleep much better, and perhaps most importantly, have a hope that at long last I have found the right path to permanently regain my health and appropriate weight. For that I thank you, and I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for leading me to your website. You are literally the answer to my prayers.

In gratitude,

It is with great pleasure that I advocate the Fat Vanish program.

I managed to shed 3 inches off my waist in the first month, a further three inches off in the second month and now having just finished the third month have lost a further inch, my waist size is now 32.5 inches....and needless to say I am very happy with the results !!!

At 28 years old and standing 5ft 11 inches tall I had developed a rather ugly mid section over the space of two years. Very unhappy with this situation and at the end of my patience with fad diets and exercise programs I turned to Francesco, suddenly all the dietary and exercise advice made sense....I had to give it a go.

Thanks Francesco, finally a program that covers all aspects of fat loss truthfully and thoroughly, and does get results.

By the way Francesco - before you add my comments to your site, you may want to add that, as well as losing 56lbs so far - I’ve also lost 9 inches around my waist!!!!!!! - People seem to always say "wow" to that stat hehehe :) Here in the UK, you tell them "i’ve lost 4 stone" and they say "oh very good" then you say "and 9 inches around my waist" and they all go "wow" hehehe!

Just to let you know that I had my heart health assessed today by the doctor and in the 7 months I have been on the Fat Vanish plan, my resting heart rate has now dropped an amazing 21 beats per minute (74 bpm to 53 bpm)!!!!!

Now, If God determines that you are only getting so many heartbeats in your lifetime - then i’ve just extended my life by years!!!!!! - How can you put a price on that?

Thanks mate - don't know what to say - im almost speechless!!!!

I am an 18 year old sprinter and therefore require low body fat for optimal performance. A fairly lazy diet gave me a bit of unwanted body fat for a few years and I was determined to shed myself of it and feel better about myself, appearance wise and for general self esteem. Francesco's program did this for me and due to this I will always be very grateful. Probably the two most influential factors in this course are the practicality (and making it adaptable for long-term weight control), and the email option. Being able to ask any question you have regarding nutrition and fitness and knowing you are getting honest answers from a professional and a great person, just adds to an already unbelievable course. Don't hesitate to start the program, you won't regret it.

Sorry to bother you Francesco, but I just wanted to let you know I've reached my goal weight of 75 kilograms, and to reinforce my thanks to you. I owe you a lot more than the small amount of money I sent you a few months ago. I didn't predict it quite right because the old six pack isn't exactly bulging yet, so I'm gonna lose maybe another 3 kilos or so, and then worry about putting on a bit more muscle for my sprinting. Speaking of which, I'm running the best times of my life due to being lighter on my feet, I can't put into words how grateful I am to you. Francesco, if there's every anything you need help with, or advice on, or just someone to talk to, I'm here for you man. Thanks once again Champ.

I've started your program, and it's been a good start for me.

I've lost an inch and 7 pounds in 2 weeks, and I'm moving into the eating habit phase of your program.

Thanks for making fat loss "real".

Lost 11 pounds in 4 weeks. I love this program! I eat what I want following your guidelines, and am never hungry.

I've hit 239 pounds from 254.50 in less than 6 weeks. The difference in 6 weeks, I think, is very amazing. I owe it to you, and your great program. Thanks again!

I'm at 233 so far, and have lost 4 inches from my waist. Thanks for the program. It WORKS.

Just to let you know that I just followed your plan for one week and saw great results, I'm working out every morning and I managed to loose 6 pounds in one week, I realized some of it was water but it is the first time I see the scale go down on a diet...I'll keep you up on my progress.

Hello Francesco,

It's been since August that I emailed you last and from that time until December I went from a 42" waist to a 37.5" waist. I have also lost about 20 pounds, although this is hard to measure because I have also gained muscle since I have weight trained consistently in the past and I returned to it upon starting the diet. The results are incredible and the diet is remarkably easy. Even when I cheat, I don't binge because I don't crave junk as strongly, and I don't like the feeling afterward, physically and psychologically. I am actually enjoying it! Thank you for your wonderful plan!

Dear Francesco,

I'm on week 4 right now and am making better progress on your plan than I've made on anything so far. I've had your program for about 8 years, when I first got it I remember going through a cycle before I had to commit to the football weightroom and the coaches plan, and I remember going from benching 145 to 190 in 6 weeks time... and then I get on the coaches program for about 8 months and I only got up to 205.

I actually tore my acl that season and got on your program again for a quick minute after I got surgery and did pt and my leg press built itself back up quickly. But all that is neither here nor there because I've never been able to stick to a program and up until now I'd been in limbo between workout philosophies because I sometimes had a lack of dedication and I gave in so many times to these programs and diets that ultimately wouldn't work out for me.

Anyways, as I said I'm on week 4 and my results are outstanding. On another diet program that required no workout, I lost alot of weight but most of it was muscle. The gimmick was that I could lose 9 pounds every 11 days. I did lose 9 pounds every 11 days like it said, but only about 3-4 of those pounds were fat. I lost so much muscle, as I started out weighing about 281 and I got down to around 210.

When I was 281, 200 pounds of that was muscle, as I use a bodyfat analyzer that is pretty accurate.

Well, after I got down to around 210, I found out that I had 158 pounds of muscle and 52 pounds of fat. I only lost about 30 pounds of fat. 50 pounds of muscle was lost.

All I was eating everyday was maybe 700 or 800 calories. I had next to no protein and I was very hungry. I was drinking alot of water, and even through fruits and vegetables are good for you, they shouldn't be the base of your diet.

I quit this diet around december, and didn't workout or eat right... and as I went back to eating like I used to, my weight went up to 240.

I gained about 10 pounds of that muscle back when my weight went back up, but now I had gained back 20 of the 30 pounds that I had lost.

So ultimately, this diet lost me 10 pounds of fat and lost me 30 pounds of muscle.

Well, I started your program full speed and since then I've gained 10 pounds of muscle and lost about 5 pounds of fat.

It probably would be ALOT more fat but the thing is, I'm not following the diet as welll as I should be. I'm getting the protein and carbs that I need to get for a 2500 calorie diet, but I'm cheating on my diet everyday by eating a normal dinner where I don't count any carbs or protein and drinking a coke or 2.

On top of that, I'm not doing cardio. I'm doing high intensity interval training twice a week because I'm trying to slowly make every single aspect of the musclenow lifestyle a habit.

I believe that after this cycle I'll be able to drop my cheating ways and start doing real cardio...

But the results of your program so far have been outstanding.

The strength I lost doing that 9 pounds in 11 days diet has come back FAST.  just a few months ago I could only bench 185 about twice. Right now 185 feels very light and I use it on 8-11 rep weeks, getting it for about 10 usually.

Everything else is going up really fast, too.

Anyway Francesco,I will soon be able to do your program in full force.

No cheating and 5 days of cardio. When I start that I know that these last 40 pounds of fat I want to lose will fall of quick, and I'll have good testimonials that you can put on the site with pictures, hopefully sporting abs. I know I'll sport abs with your program, but I am slightly fearful of excess skin around my midsection, which I will get removed.

I will surely be on your program for the rest of my life because I now realize how good it can get if you do it right, and how easy it can be. how much better i feel now than how I felt when I didn't workout and ate garbage all day.

If I don't get abs because of the excess skin, I plan on getting surgery to remove it and when I start gaining mass on your plan, I will have the 6 pack and I will send you pictures for your site.

Thank you for your contribution to my life and many others Francesco, you've made a *HUGE* difference in many, many lives.
