Question: How will I know if/when I am losing body fat?

Answer: A few days into your Iron90 program you should feel changes. The first sign that you are losing body fat is that your clothes fit looser around the waist. The reason for this is that most body fat is stored where it can be carried to the stomach quickly, your waist area.

Question: My friend that uses the Iron90 System was told that his excess weight was being used as an critical element of his Iron90 training plan, and that this excess weight was actually a useful benefit at the start of the plan. Is it true that Iron90 uses one's own excess weight as part of the plan to deliver results?

Answer: Yes, this is true. The Iron90 System was designed to use your own excess body weight as resistance to develop lean muscle, while simultaneously shedding body fat and total weight. Over the 90 days you will shed the excess fat and total weight but retain and build lean muscle.

Question: What is the difference between a meal plan and a diet?

Answer: A diet is a list of food types to eat or not eat. Most diets fail because they are too restrictive and overemphasize food types. Food types - whether they are protein, carbohydrates, cookies, pizza, chicken, etc. - DO NOT MAKE YOU FAT. Stored and unused calories are what make you fat. We like to say, "Chicken does not make you fat, but eating the entire bucket of chicken will."

Question: Where can I view, add to, edit and save my meal plan?

Answer: Each day for the next 90 days you have a Meal Plan and a Training Plan, which appear side by side on your Iron90 System Dashboard. You can view, edit and save your meal plan in this dashboard.

Question: I was told that carbohydrates (carbs) are bad is this true?

Answer: FALSE, your body needs carbohydrates (carbs).

Question: I was told that carbohydrates (carbs) are stored as fat, is this true?

Answer: FALSE, carbohydrates (carbs) are not stored at fat, they are converted in the digestive process to a sugar and these sugars are stored as fat IF THEY ARE NOT BURNED.

Question: Can I eat chocolate, ice cream, cake or other sweets on the Iron90 Meal Plan?

Answer: Yes, you are an adult. Your Iron90 System gives you a caloric budget per meal and per day, so you can eat what you like.

Question: What is the difference between a calorie and a carbohydrate?

Answer: A calorie is a unit of energy; it is the fuel your body uses to function. A carbohydrate is a constituent part of an edible item that may be converted to a calorie/calories.

Question: What if I go over my calorie budget for a meal?

Answer: You have a number of options:

1. You can reduce your calorie intake for the next meal

2. You can adjust your calorie intake so that you stay within your caloric budget for the day

3. You can add time to that day's training plan and use your Heart Rate Monitor's Calorie Burn function to burn off any additional calories over your daily meal plan.

Question: What if I go over my calorie budget for a day?

Question: How many calories are there in one pound of body fat?

Answer: 3,500 calories per pound of body fat.

Question: I was told that my Iron90 System customized meal plan requires that I eat at least 6 times a day, is this true?

Answer: Yes, we look at food as the most pervasive drug you will ever put in your body. For example, turkey contain L-tryptophan which converts to serotonin in the digestive process and makes you feel drowsy. Coffee contains caffeine and keeps you awake. If you get medication from your doctor, you would take it in the required dose. Similarly, we ask that you "dose" your food in smaller portions more frequently, ideally six meals and three snacks per day. However, we understand that not everyone can do this. If you can't keep to the ideal "dosage," just remember that smaller, more frequent meals are better than one or two large meals a day.

For Mayors and Elected Officials:

Question: It appears that the Co-Founders have a political agenda, is this true?

Answer: Yes, Co-Founders Robert Vera and J.R. Rosania are serious about ending the obesity epidemic in the United States.

Question: The Iron90 Co-Founders Robert Vera and J.R. Rosania have been very outspoken about the need for calorie information on all restaurant and all school lunch menus. They have praised Mayor Bloomberg's efforts in New York and the recent efforts made by the Los Angels City Council to accomplish this. Why have they been so outspoken?

Answer: The Co-Founders, Robert Vera and J.R. Rosania understand that there is a direct link between our ailing health care system and our ailing population. The fact is that the Heath Care system in the United States is overburdened with sick people who have become dependent on heath care for their entire life.

There is a direct link between our overweight and obese population and the number of sick people entering the health care system earlier in life with more severe illnesses and remaining dependent on the system thoughout their life. Many in this overweight and/or obese population have become a health care dependent population. The genesis of the problem lies with individual's lifestyle; in order to fix the health care system, our population must change its lifestyle.

Our city mayors and elected officials are on the front lines of this battle and can make a difference by demanding that restaurants publish calorie information. The Co-Founders understand that simply knowing how many calories are in a meals/food items is not a cure; however, it is a step in the right direction. Our population has become fat and/or obese because it eats more calories than it burns off. The ills of our population are the ills of our health care system.

The Co-Founders are currently working to craft the "Iron90 ACT" that would require all restaurants to provide calorie information and a simple BMR formula on all food menus.
