Who Is “Be Finally Fit” For?
BFF is for women who tried before but failed to lose fat and keep it off, women who experienced yo-yo weight rebounds due to temporary fat loss plans designed without a long-term vision.
The program is also ideal for women who feel more comfortable having a fat loss program designed by a trusted source, such as another woman with first-hand experience and qualifications on the matter of what works for women, rather than a generic fat loss plan designed by a man.
The whole point of the program is being effective for the specific needs of women’s bodies, their metabolism, and physiology, from their naturally slower metabolic rate to the “enhanced sweet cravings” during their cycle.
The name itself of the program is a nod to the quest for a final solution to body weight management and, truth to be told, it does provide an impressive array of tools designed to make ladies succeed.
In fact, the program is heavy on materials, but author Hilde van den Berg has made a good job in making the plan actionable with a simple step-by-step layout, no guesswork needed nor confusion and information overload necessary.
How Does It Work Exactly?
Be Finally Fit works the good old-fashioned way, with a systematic approach to dieting and no guesswork, with progression tracking and a nutritional plan designed for female physiology.
The plan is built in a pyramid-like structure, whereas each phase is built upon the previous one, helping you achieve the targeted results step by step, in small tangible increments so as to keep you motivated for the following steps.
A very important aspect of the program is that it is designed to fight inflammation. Inflammation is the biological response of body tissues to harmful irritants and substances found in processed foods.
These harmful substances lead to a self-fueling cycle of more inflammation which in turn leads to more weight gain and so on.
The 28-day eating strategy of Be Finally Fit focuses on resetting your body and getting rid of inflammation with inexpensive foods that you can easily find in any supermarket for long-term results.
Muscles, Estrogen, And Testosterone
The dietary guidelines revolve around female needs with a focus on their naturally lower levels of testosterone than men, less muscle mass, and higher estrogen levels.
The premise being that generic fat loss programs for men can only work for men because they are designed for their physiology, hormones, and body composition that make it much easier for them to lose fat.
Anything else being equal, lifestyle, age, calorie restriction, and exercise levels, men do have an easier time when it comes to losing weight.
The author points out that less lean muscle in women makes their basal metabolic rate slower than men, making it normally more difficult for them to burn fat.
Also, hormonal changes during the cycle make women more tempted than men towards food cravings like cakes, pizzas, and sweet treats because these rich foods are associated with a release of serotonin, a feel-good neurotransmitter.
The nutritional guidelines in Be Finally Fit take into account these factors to offer a more effective diet regimen for women that works for their bodies.
Its careful guidelines pint point to exactly what to eat, when, and how much in order to offer the greatest possible fat loss in the shortest possible time but in the safest possible way, that is without muscle mass loss.
On the contrary, excessive calorie restriction leads to muscle depletion and not fat loss, as the body clings onto its precious reserve of fat for survival.
This is what makes most drastic weight loss plans fail, as the only thing they achieve is lowering your metabolic rate even further without burning any fat but eating up your muscles for energy instead.
Is “Be Finally Fit” Sustainable?
While the initial goal of the program is to make you lose as much fat as safely as possible within a 28-day time frame, the main purpose of the plan is to offer sustainable bodyweight management for life.
In fact, the maintenance part of the program is probably the best part of it because it offers a set of tools to keep its customers on track and hold onto their newly found healthy weight.
This is where other programs come short. They may offer an initial blueprint that may more or less work but then leave you on your own thereafter, with the chance of a weight rebound very high.
The “Sexy Body Maintenance” extra manual is particularly well designed for keeping you on track and help you keep off the fat you just got rid of.
Be Finally Fit Workouts
Be Finally Fit also provides workout guidelines for all fitness levels. Even though the author states that the exercise part is not compulsory and you can shed pounds just with the correct diet as outlined, it is recommended that you do exercise to maximize your results.
While it is true that you cannot out-train a bad diet and that diet alone is the main responsible for a healthy weight loss regimen, it is also true that exercising offers a whole host of benefits that add to the diet regimen, working with it to produce a healthy, fit, slim and sexy physique.
However, working out is still not mandatory in this program, a nod to the importance of diet first, and exercising as a bonus secondary measure for overall fitness.
It also helps you stay focused on diet alone first, without wasting energy on working out while you are getting the first tangible results, as you can always start exercising later once you have reached down to a lighter body weight.
However, Be Finally Fit is not just about the old cliche of eating less and exercising more, rather eating better and exercising less, if at all.
