The September 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge combines a metabolism boosting meal plan with an exercise program designed to burn calories and build metabolically active lean muscle mass to get your metabolism working to your weight loss advantage.

Why metabolism is crucial for weight loss...1. Simply put, your metabolism determines how

much energy your body needs and how efficiently that energy will be used.

2. The better your metabolism, the better your body can burn calories.

3. A healthy metabolism promotes a healthy body weight and increases energy levels.

The September Challenge meal plans are loaded with nutrient dense, whole foods that make it easy to sustain a healthy way of eating to aid your metabolism and long term weight loss maintenance (crash diets are a disaster for the metabolism).The exercises in the September Challenge focus on increasing the heart rate for optimal energy expenditure both during the workouts and throughout the rest of the day. The exercise plans also build lean muscle mass that significantly increases your fat burning potential.
