What often happens is the man sheds fat extremely fast – with much less effort, while you struggle to lose even 1-2 pounds a week, and hit more plateaus than you care to admit. It’s frustrating. The reason most women have trouble losing weight is because they’re trying to diet like a man. You’re not made like a man, so this doesn’t work. Weight loss isn’t a “one size fits all” approach. In fact, many women will find they have different weight loss struggles than their friends do. Grasping at Straws What usually happens is desperation kicks in. You’re so frustrated by your lack of success and the stagnant state you’re in that you jump on any trend you can find out about, such as: * Eating nothing but cabbage soup 24/7 * Gorging yourself on nothing but meat * Giving up everything in one food group * Not eating at all, but living off of water only as long as possible It’s all unsafe and will cause your body to fight back with an even bigger storage of fat (for survival) the minute you start eating normal foods again – because living on one of the extreme weight loss plans above isn’t a long-term option. When you’re out of options, and nothing’s working – what happens? Depression kicks in. John Barban of The Venus Factor talks about this in his video where he shares the touching story about his sister Lisa. He was able to take his own flabby body and morph it into something amazing, but his sister didn’t have the same results. He saw her sadness and actually did something about it, honing in on a single metabolism tip that finally helped turn her weight loss switch “on.” With himself and his guy friends, the solid advice that’s been around forever worked. He just had to apply it. But women are different – and no one was solving that one single issue – that one discrepancy that shattered the one diet fits all mindset. 
The Biggest Loser – Doesn’t Have to Be You! Have you ever watched The Biggest Loser? Chances are, if you’ve struggled with dieting, you have. Maybe you did it to get motivated – to get that butt kicking speech the trainers give into your head. Maybe you thought seeing the 20-pound weekly weight loss numbers would help you. And it probably did … at first. But then you realize that’s the exception to the rule, and even on that TV show, the men were able to lose WAY more than the women did! It took John Barban two full years to find the solution for his sister. When he did uncover it, she lost 53 pounds in 5 months. That equals about 2.63 pounds a week – a nice, healthy weight loss. The secret isn’t found in Jillian Michaels yelling in your face. It’s a specific hormone that Barban pinpointed where women have it – but their bodies aren’t using it properly. Don’t you wish there was a simple on/off switch you could flip to make it work for you? Another interesting thing Barban found in his research was that when you literally go on a “diet” – where you’re cutting calories and depriving yourself of specific foods, your levels of that hormone plummet – faster and more than a man’s. Aren’t you lucky? Actually, now you are! Because once you know the problem – and you know it’s not willpower or some strategic fad diet or extreme exercise program – you’re empowered. Empowered weight loss is being informed and knowing how to find a solution. It’s not looking at your husband or boyfriend and feeling like a failure because you’re doing the same thing they’re doing and yet for you, the pounds aren’t coming off. Women Are Notorious for Yo-Yo Dieting Have you ever noticed that when a man and a woman diet, and they “fall off the wagon,” the woman’s weight piles on at extreme speeds and in huge amounts compared to how slow and insignificant in volume that a man’s comes back on? That’s all thanks to a woman’s specific hormone stores – the one that signals to your brain that it needs to go into survival mode and slow the engine down so that you’re not only not burning fat, but storing as much extra fat as possible. It sucks knowing you’re not living in the caveman era where your body might need that protection – and yet your body doesn’t know that. It just knows you were once eating ample amounts of food (and it liked it) and then you weren’t (and it made you drained of energy, irritable, and unhappy) – and now you’re eating again – so it’s going to save up for a rainy day. Yo yo dieting is when your weight starts high, drops to a nice low level, and rises back up again – and it’s so very dangerous for your body. It also makes it hard for you to lose weight again, so the longer you allow yourself to jump on and off the diet rain, the more long-term damage you’ll be doing – and you’ll find it hard to lose weight the next time around. You’re probably just thinking about aesthetics – about how you hate the cottage cheese look on your thighs. But get a bit deeper in the problem here. Yo yo dieting can: * Increase your risk of developing heart disease because your cells get damaged and can’t promote blood flow properly. * Ruin your metabolism * Increase your risk of cancer * Increase your risk of developing diabetes * Flood your body with cortisol (the stress hormone) * Ruin your arteries * Raise your LDL (bad cholesterol) And guess what? If you’ve yo yo dieted more than five times, you’re at an even BIGGER risk in your life. So now you’re panicking thinking you’re scared – because what if you go on another diet journey and fail again? That’s what Barban is working to help women avoid with The Venus Factor. Watching his sister go through it, he initially created this system just to help his loved one – but of course, it’s now helping women worldwide stop the crazy diet train and have long-term weight loss success instead. Some women – Moms in particular, have an even tougher time. If you’re a Mom, you wouldn’t trade it for the world. You love your kids. But an unfortunate fact that Barban reveals is that women who have been pregnant have it even worse when it comes to their bodies hanging onto fat for stored energy! The Solution Isn’t Starvation You’ve already gone that route – the overly restricted calories, the insane workout schedule. By the time you’re done draining your body of energy, you couldn’t even enjoy the weight loss if you wanted to. If you diet alongside a man in your life, then you might get worse with your extreme desperation. You’re sitting there seeing him effortlessly lose weight, so you might even get down to 500 calories and a 2-hour workout. You might see your hair start to fall out if you do this. Your muscles get weaker, not stronger. Your blood pressure plummets to dangerously low levels. You feel weak and can’t muster up the energy to complete day-to-day tasks. The Venus Factor isn’t about starvation and killing yourself on the treadmill. It’s about looking at one specific hormone in a woman’s body as this huge unused resource – and he shows you how he helped his sister tap into hers. The system is designed to work over the span of 12 weeks. There isn’t a horrid food restriction list where you can’t have this and can’t have that favorite food. That sets you up to fail right away. You will find out which foods trigger fat storage – and it’s a surprising list because all you’re thinking is “donuts” or “chocolate,” but you have to understand how your body works – it’s odd which foods it uses to convert into a “fat net” of sorts. This is more about the one thing you have to add to your body to ignite your metabolism. It’s kind of like firing up a grill – you have the coals already there, but without the match, nothing will happen. During his research, Barban discovered an herbal connection that helps your body use that hormone stored in your body to fight fat. But most women don’t even know about it. 
Like Spot Training for the Body Spend about 5-10 minutes looking at your body in the mirror. Name the top two areas where fat piles up most. For women, it’s often the stomach, thighs, or buttocks. There’s no exercise that helps you spot train where you can lose weight in those specific areas. But there is a way to shed fat in the places where your body likes to store it most. Not only is there no exercise to help you spot train, but every woman has a unique physical makeup that can help or hurt them whenever they follow one of those “one size fits all” programs. When you’re signed up for The Venus Factor, you have a built in virtual trainer that takes your specific data and creates a plan that works best for you. There are no weekly weigh in meetings or budget crushing frozen meal plans you have to pick up from your local center each week. Barban doesn’t just go into the hormone and herbal tips. He points out how the workout routines women do – well, they’re also designed for … men! It’s like the whole diet industry was created for men, by men – and everyone just assumed that women could apply the same concepts and get the same results. We all know that’s not true. A woman’s body stores fat differently. It also burns fat differently. Your husband isn’t sitting there with cottage cheese thighs – he might have a unique issue, like man boobs or flabby arms. You have to go with a program that’s designed specifically for a woman’s hormones and body type. Those long, hard workouts that men like to do at the gym? They’re NOT RIGHT for women. Yet you’ve been putting your body through that year after year as you struggle to shed pounds and get the figure back that you desire. It’s time for you to take full advantage born out of one brother’s love for his sister. Look into what John Barban did for Lisa and then get the relief you need to help you stoke the fat loss fires once and for all.

If you’re confused about what men want in a relationship, you’re not alone. The battle of the sexes truly is a battle where one half often doesn’t understand what the other half wants or needs. So as a result of this, you find too many people who are alone, but together in a relationship. You’ll also find people not in a relationship, but who want to be in one, yet when they get it, they just can’t seem to make it work. Or it’s working, but not really at the level that it could be. If that sounds like something you’ve experienced, you’re going to want to find help. You can find help knowing what men want in a program like What Men Secretly Want. This way, all of the not knowing is taken off the table and you’ll be able to approach your relationships with the knowledge you need to make them work successfully. Understanding Men If you’re like most people, the thought of knowing how to understand a man ranks right up there with as easy as being able to scale Mt. Everest in your sleep with no climbing gear. But the truth is, that while it might seem like he’s living in a completely different universe from the one you reside in, he isn’t. And truthfully, men aren’t that difficult to understand once you know what it is that they want. Digging for what it means to understand a man is something you’re going to have to do because the majority of men will not communicate what they need or want. There’s no deep secret to that part. Men just keep things close to the vest. It’s how they’re naturally wired. You might think that you have to be a mind reader in order to figure out what the man you’re interested in likes, but you don’t. You simply need to learn how his basic makeup operates so that you know how to understand what makes him want you. Because there are some things that you can do that not only turn him off, but will also make him run the other way. This is why some people can be in a relationship, it seems like everything is going great and then all of a sudden, they’re breaking up. The one who got dumped is left baffled trying to understand what happened. Knowing what will give you a great relationship can be hard when one of the people involved doesn’t like to be as open with his feelings but that can be worked around. But you do have to face the fact that men and women have totally different needs in a relationship. These different needs can drive the two of you apart. But if you know how to work them, they can actually be what pulls you together. Before you get in that relationship, you go through the exciting stage. There’s a connection and everything you say to each other seems magical. Men respond to this stage in a relationship because the woman is flirting with him. Flirting makes a man feel desired and it commands his interest. But when most couples get into a relationship, this flirting is one of the first things to go. So that initial spark, that excitement dies down. Not only is that a shame, but it can quickly lead to the man losing interest. Men have a natural born desire to hunt. It stems from the beginning of time. This is what makes it exciting to them. Once they get what they want from the hunt, they’re done. This is what can lead to that no flirting and them losing interest. A lot of women wait for the man to make a move and then respond. They don’t understand that a man not only wants to be desired, but he needs to feel that from the woman who’s interested in him. 
Hold His Interest There seems to be a misconception that if a woman isn’t the same trim and young person she was when they met, that a man will lose interest. That’s not the truth and while staying healthy is a good goal for anyone, keeping your shape and looks is not the only thing that holds a man’s interest. Think about it. If that were the case, you wouldn’t read about men cheating on girlfriends and wives that look like or are models. So what’s the tip that can help a woman hold his interest? What will make him crave you above all other women? It’s the way that you make him feel. And you can influence his feelings by knowing what’s at the core of his feelings. If you make a man feel like he’s desirable, that he’s sexy and that you want to be with him, that taps into a man’s innermost need and keeps him interested. By the way, this is also one of the reasons that many men cheat on their partners. Someone else made them feel desirable and sexy. Women that know how to take care of themselves hold a man’s interest. A man doesn’t want a clingy woman who acts helpless around him. He would prefer that the woman he’s interested in knows what she wants out of life and be someone who’s independent. That doesn’t mean that you’ll keep his interest if you give off the air of never needing him for anything. A man stays interested in a woman who isn’t afraid to need his help from time to time. There can be a tendency among some women that when they begin a relationship to want to be with the man as often as possible. This kind of behavior makes a man feel as if he doesn’t have any space. And it’s guaranteed to push him away. There are all kinds of jokes online and on television about men going out with the guys or having a poker night to spend time with his buddies. The punch line is always how the woman didn’t like it and gets angry that he chose to spend time with them over her. But this is a need that a man has just like a woman needs to spend time with other women. It’s the being apart and having other interests that strengthens a relationship. Being together all the time and not understanding his need for space will drive him to seek it away from you permanently. Men don’t want to be controlled any more than a woman does. Some women try to desperately monopolize where the man goes and who he’s spending time with. This is a big mistake. Encourage him to spend time with other people. There are helpful programs like What Men Secretly Want that can help show you how to hold his interest by being your own person and encouraging him to do the same. Show the Respect You might have heard this before, how that a man wants a woman to respect him, but you might not understand exactly what he means by this. It’s important that you do because a man’s deep need is to have respect and when he doesn’t think he has it, it makes him feel frustrated and unhappy in the relationship. What a man means by respect is that the woman in his life needs to respect what he decides to do when he decides to do something. That doesn’t mean that you have to always agree with everything he says or does. But what happens when a woman questions what a decision a man makes is that he doesn’t see it as her simply asking a question. He sees it as her not respecting that he knows what he’s doing. A romantic partner is far more likely to question a man’s judgment than a woman he works with is. A man needs to feel respected with not only his judgments but in his opinions as well. Now does that mean that you’ll automatically like or agree with everything he does? No. And it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a right to an opinion. But if you’re constantly questioning his decisions, it makes a man feel like you don’t respect him and he feels like you don’t think he’s smart enough to be doing whatever it is he’s doing. Men feel this lack of respect when they’re trying to do something around the house. Maybe they’re trying to do a simple repair job. Something goes on and it doesn’t look good to you. Trying to be helpful, you suggest that he call an expert. What that says to him is that you don’t respect his opinion that he can handle the job. That may not even be what you meant by your suggestion at all. You were only trying to offer some help. But that’s not the way it’s perceived. This is very important if you’re in the beginning stages of a relationship. Because while you feel good and are basking in the thought that you offered some helpful advice, he’s thinking the opposite. He’s thinking, “She doesn’t think I can handle this. If she doesn’t think I can handle this small job, she’s not going to think I can handle anything bigger.” From that, it branches into him thinking you don’t respect him. You have to respect the way he communicates. This is a big problem area for women. Nine out of every ten women are better at communicating than men. That’s because women are more likely to share how they feel about a subject and how they felt when someone said something that bothered them. A man on the other hand isn’t going to do this. When a man says he doesn’t want to talk about something, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel upset by whatever is going on. It’s not a sign that he doesn’t care. A woman must learn how to respect a man in the area of communication if she has hopes for a good relationship. What a lot of women don’t understand is that when she shows respect to a man, it makes him want to be with her and it makes him more attracted to her. 
What Works in Communication Respect is a big part of communication when it comes to men. If he doesn’t think that you respect him, you can be sure that the communication will be affected. A woman will often shut down communication when her feelings are hurt. A man will often shut down communication when he doesn’t feel respected. What you say in conversation with the man in your life will go one of two ways. It will either make him feel good about himself and his relationship with you or it will make him feel frustrated. While a lack of respect for him is the biggest turn off for a man in communication, there are other ways that you can be sabotaging your relationship and you might not even be aware that you’re doing this. In a conversation, you tell your partner not to forget that he arranged to meet you for drinks at a certain time at your favorite bar. You’re excited about the meeting and you just didn’t want him to forget. That’s just being helpful. But that’s not how it comes across to the man because men don’t read communication like a woman does. Instead of seeing it as a help, he sees it as a nag. And he’s thinking, “We’re not even married and she’s nagging me to be somewhere when I already said I would.” To you, you were being helpful. To him, it’s not helpful. It’s a sign that you’re mothering him and that will drive a man away. Men do pay attention to how a woman acts during the first stages of the relationship. He sees it as setting a stage. “Oh, if she’s this way now, how much worse would she get if we started dating seriously?” These situations also work the same even if you’re already married to the man. A wife that doesn’t respect and doesn’t know how to communicate with a man can drive him away. Just because you think something doesn’t mean that’s the way that the man will see it. While you can easily and openly discuss that weight gain with your girlfriends, you certainly wouldn’t want your guy bringing it up in a circle of your friends while you were all gathered. It feels like an insult. That’s how a man feels when you bring up something you feel needs correcting about him when you’re together in public. So what if he doesn’t have all his facts correct about a fishing story? Or an outing the two of you went on together? It’s better to let him save face publicly than it is to be right. While a man might be strong physically, their egos can be easily be damaged by what you say. If it’s negative, don’t say it in public. If it’s something that needs to be addressed, do it privately and ask, don’t demand an explanation for something he’s said. When it comes to communicating, men and women are always going to view it differently and respecting that difference can make a man think you’re the greatest, easiest woman to talk to in the world. He might even brag to his friends that you understand him. When you’re just starting the relationship, laying the groundwork for communication is so important. There are programs like What Men Secretly Want that can help show you tips on early communication so that the relationship will be strong from day one. Get the Commitment A man with commitment issues is the plot line of several sitcoms. It’s a running joke that’s not funny to women who desire a commitment from the men in their lives. The key to this is to build the relationship. A relationship has to have three tiers of intimacy – an emotional one, a psychological one and a physical one in order for it to be successful. You have to know how to balance these three so that you’re not paying more attention to any one area. Many women complain that the men in their lives just won’t open up and let them in emotionally. But there is a key that does unlock that area and will allow you to have a closer emotional intimacy with a man. Here’s a tip about men and commitment. You can’t cajole, suggest or nag a man into making it. But your attitude is what can convince him that he wants to make a commitment to you. Men like women with a positive, glass half-full attitude over women who have a negative one. For my full in depth review of What Men Secretly Want, watch the video below.
