The Truth about Most Fat Loss Workouts and Diets
The way you’ve been doing your fat-loss workouts and diet has been making it harder and more complicated to lose weight.
You see, virtually everything you see and hear – in the media, in the fitness industry – is setting you up to have a harder time losing fat.
The problem with these kinds of hard diets and hard workouts is that most of them just aren’t very effective at helping you lose fat in the long term.
But there is another way.
An easier way. A more sustainable way. A more effective way.
That’s exactly what Dan John and Josh Hillis fat loss habits will give you in Fat Loss Happens on Monday.
What People Are Saying
“Josh and I met in person for the first time at a gathering of fitness professionals in Florida. That night at dinner was like we had known each other forever—Josh just plopped down and we started talking. His enthusiasm and passion for fitness was so clear and we connected immediately.
“Josh really gets that everyone has the same struggles, because food and diet and exercise and bodies and self esteem— it’s all messy stuff. And that’s where he and I really connect, that we want to help people. We want to give people freedom from some of these struggles.
“It’s the clarity of Josh’s writing and Josh’s deep desire to help people that made me want to be involved in this project.
“How much he cares comes through in all of his writing.
“Josh is awesome, and I love the way he writes. The reason his ideas make a difference for people is because his plan is clear, and it’s not fancy wizardry. Josh meets people where they are, and leads them by the hand—“Let’s put one foot in front of the other and walk forward, and it’s okay to freak out, and we’re going to keep going.”
“Fat Loss Happens on Monday is a book that’s going to lovingly hold your feet to the fire. You’re asking for results, and you’re going to get a realistic and manageable plan, wrapped up in eleven food habits to help you toward your goal. You’ll also get great workouts..
“The path is very clear. And it lets you know you can do it, and here’s how. It’s caring and it’s hopeful. I really believe if you follow the Fat Loss Happens on Monday program and implement the habits, you’ll get results and you can be your own superstar.”

I’m a big fan of tracking/food journaling; not just for short-term fat loss but for permanent weight maintenance. But many people rebel against change, as changing habit is HARD work. The authors set readers up with all the ground rules to succeed in the long-run.
Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
On being objective about your journal/progress/slip ups:
“If you’re judging your food journal, you need to grow up. Beating yourself up is the opposite of taking responsibility. Taking responsibility with food is looking without emotion at actions that work or don’t work for your goals.”
For those who rebel (intentionally or not) against food rules, practicing discipline/restraint/self-control:
“We all have our own rules— I don’t tell a lie; I don’t steal. This is how society operates— rules make everything work. It’s not bad to have those rules. We don’t think, “Oh my God, I hate that we have to stop at stop signs. I just want to roll through the stop signs.”
For those who think complicated is better with respect to food journaling; that you need fancy tools, expensive shakes and supplements, etc:
“Yes, it’s hard to hear that the basics are the key because we all love the new and groovy and exciting and secret, but success is rarely found in the exotic.
Basic and boring wins”
Remember: Monday’s just around the corner. “Some of the best successes of my life are when I trust someone else to plan things for me and I just dive in.”

This book is pure gold. It offers real and effective fat loss techniques that can be implemented with respect, intelligence and kindness, upending conventions in the fitness industry. Written by two legends. I ordered 20 copies and had them shipped halfway across the world.

I’ve read this book twice and I keep finding more great nuggets. It’s a very easy read with a conversational style. I really like the fact that he doesn’t just say “here’s the one way”. Josh gives you options and choices depending on where you are in your fitness journey. Not everyone is ready to do a nutrition overhaul. He shows you several different ways to step into it slowly. But I have to say my favourite piece is how he frames food prep – so that you actually do it! Thanks Josh and Dan

This book is fantastic. The other reviews have covered the fact that it’s full of useful information, and that the entire habit-based paradigm and structure is a powerful model without being overwhelming to implement.
That said, what sticks out for me, and what raises this book above others in the field, is the potent mix of wisdom and kindness that the authors thread through the material. The wisdom is without preachiness, and the kindness is without condescension. That is a rare combination.
Walter Dorey –
THIS is the book I refer people to time after time. It contains actionable steps. It just flat out works if people apply it and it gives the formula for fat loss. Formulas are great because all you have to do is plug in the numbers and boom, you get the answer. Plug in the steps outlined in this book and watch your habits change. Once the habits change the results happen automatically, just like a mathematical formula.
I have often told people similar things as outlined in the book, however, Josh Hillis and Dan John bring it all together and then some. I loaned it to my wife’s Physical Therapist and haven’t gotten it back yet as she said she loves the book too, lol. Stop buying all the hocus-pocus books on diets and get this book instead. You won’t regret it!
Rod –
Brilliant book. Its about the habits and behaviors behind how to change your body composition, rather than just another “fad” diet. A very, very different approach to other diet books on the market. This is a must read for coaches, trainers and therapists who want to help clients make effective, lasting changes.
Bob Boston –
This is the book that introduced me to both Josh and Dan. Bar none, the best book on fat loss and exercise spelled out in detail. The real meat and potatoes of this book, though, is really found in the sub-title, “Habit-based diet and workout hacks!” Loved it! Find myself implementing key principles not only for me, but also my clients. Thank you guys for providing a missing piece in my puzzle.

This book is written in a similar format of Simple Strength. The chapters flip between Dan John and Josh Hillis. Not only does this book cover easy to implement nutritional tips, it also contains multiple laid out training programs. From beginner to advanced there are nuggets for everyone to pick out. The practical and reasonable advice is what sets this book apart from others on the topic of fat loss.
RW Wrinkle –
Great common sense ideas. Make one of your workouts you schedule time to make food for the week. This book helped me get organized and gave insight into the reality of weight control.

I found this book to be really helpful when I first started researching fat loss. Now, some 120 pounds lighter (plus lots more muscle), I still go back to it from time to time to refresh myself and make sure I am staying on track, and progress/regress exercises as needed. I did a lot of research over the course of a couple of years and did not find anything else that was as useful and practical.
Oscar –
As a personal trainer, I read this book and immediately implemented the concepts to help clients achieve results. A must have not just for the trainer, but for anyone looking to lose fat and get strong with easy habits and excellent training programs.

I bought the audio version so I could take Dan and Josh’ wisdom with me in the car (and they read their own chapters themselves). What they say seems childishly simple but when I followed it, it worked without pain, injury or having to put the rest of my life on hold. I hate being told what to eat or given recipes. This book does neither but will fix your eating in a much more reasonable and sustainable way.

Really good book. The authors combine well to give lots of information & ideas for training & nutrition. Glad I bought it. (-:
