Despite its name, the Double-Edged Fat Loss system is not a diet program. Even though it provides nutritional guidelines, fat loss is achieved through “Neuro Fat Loss Workouts” designed to boost metabolic rate long after exercising.
The workouts last 25 minutes per day and are suitable for men and women of all ages. This review will uncover what these “neuro-workouts” are all about and what the components, pros, and cons of the program are.

Who Is This Program For?
Double Edged Fat Loss is for those who are prepared to work out in order to lose fat and reorganize their BMI, Body Mass Index. It does provide nutritional guidelines, but these are secondary to the workout regimen and the mindset protocol. Overall, it is more like a fitness protocol, not just a fat loss plan.
If you are looking for a diet-only program with meal planning but not workouts, this may not be the ideal solution for you.
Double-Edged Fat Loss Strategy
The Double Edge Fat Loss program is based on 3 cardinal ideas for optimal fat loss:
Train Smarter
The workouts target posture stabilization and muscle oxygenation so that you carry on burning fat for many hours after your workout.
The workouts are nothing like the regular gym drills and require some time of adjustment, but are quick to implement and designed to be done at home with little or no equipment, as there are tons of variations available.
A very important aspect of the workouts is “correct posture” to align your joints and improve muscle strength.
Eat Smarter
A great emphasis is placed on discarding restrictive ideas of low fat and low-calorie diets. Instead, the author recommends food quality.
Sure, calories in and out still stand valid, but it is not the only part of the equation. You also need to pay attention to what you eat and avoid processed foods, particularly sugar that wreaks havoc on your insulin and energy levels.
Processed foods, carbohydrates, and sugars make you dependent on them as a source of energy. By eating right, energy levels become steady and your body starts taking the energy it needs from your fat storage, making you lose weight in a healthy way.
Fruit juice, fructose, corn syrup have a high glycemic index, making it easy to get stored as fat. The nutritional guidelines in the program re-arrange your macronutrients with a healthy contribution of proteins and fats for better metabolism.
The bottom line is, stop worrying about calories and low-fat food and focus on proper food instead. So far so good.
Be Smarter
This is a real novelty not found in other fat loss plans. According to Dr. K. Samhouri, your mind has the ability to impact your body with direct consequences on fat loss.
Most people are not aware of this phenomenon but are apparently possible to increase fat loss by using your mind, as it has a direct link to hormone destabilization.
Part of the plan is developing a kind of focus and awareness of your muscles while you are working out, making the exercises up to 30% more effective.
The Double Edged Fat Loss owes its name to this link between body and mind for effective fat loss, called “Neuro Metabolic Training“. To optimize fat loss you not only have to focus on your body but also on your mind.
How Does It Work Exactly?
The core of Double Edged Fat Loss is the workouts. They are short, unusual, and demanding 25-minute workouts suitable for men and women of all ages.
They are designed to boost your metabolism well after your workouts, allegedly utilizing up to 278% more energy and calorie burning than other regular exercises.
The exercises are designed to use communication between your mind and your muscles in order to promote a boost in metabolism. Normal workout protocols neglect this aspect, resulting in decreased athletic performance and strength, aside from fewer calories burned.
Poor signaling between your mind and body through regular workouts limits your muscles’ contraction potential and real strength. As a result, your muscles fail too soon and you end up burning fewer calories, therefore losing less fat.
The Neuro Metabolic Training
The Neuro Metabolic Training of the program was put in place exactly with this problem in mind. It blends the nervous system with exercising for a more effective and time-saving workout, as the improved muscular contractions result in an improved ability of your body to burn fat.
However, some of the exercises seem complicated and may need practicing to master. These are not regular workouts.
