To truly transform your body you need to have a strong muscle building component to your plan. This is true for men and women.
Remember that every ounce of muscle you build you will increase your resting metabolic rate and thus greatly aid the fat loss process.
Weight training is the catalyst for the muscle building component of your plan and there is no better weight training approach for encouraging muscle building than Max-OT.
Pictured to above is Stuart MacDonald and he underwent an amazing body transformation in a 6 month period of time and one of the keys to that transformation was Max-OT training. (You can see Stu's amazing transformation unfold in front of your eyes in the popular documentary "I Want to Look Like That Guy.")
Don't have the mindset that you have to lose weight before you focus on building muscle. It is best for your plan to have an emphasis on muscle building right out of the gate!
Believe. Achieve.
