Fitness Tips
Find Your Fat Burning Prime Time
We discovered that getting to the four-hour fat burning window can potentially double your rate of fat burning progress. Based on research and our experience working with numerous clients, we’ve determined that it takes as long as 12 hours of fasting on average to reach your fat burning pinnacle. As a result we recommend a fast period starting after dinner until lunch the next day between three and four times a week. Overall the fast state can last from 10-16 hours depending each client’s individual needs and fat loss goals.
“I used the KISS plan for two months last spring and lost 28 pounds of body fat. I have gained a significant amount of muscle since then and kept the body fat off thanks to your training and nutrition articles! Now I would like to burn off 10-15 pounds of stubborn body fat so I can show off a six pack this summer. Do you have any advanced KISS tips?*
There is much more to fasting than caloric reduction
A fasting status is highly effective for body fat loss due to distinct metabolic and hormonal improvements that take place. Reduced caloric intake is a part of the success equation but it is relatively minor compared to the metabolic and hormonal improvements which allow the body to burn more stored fat as fuel 24-7! Do not be intimidated by modified fasting. A majority of this time spent not eating is while you are sleeping or not otherwise hungry. Following fasting, consumption of the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis first thing in the morning can help in optimization of fat burning, increased energy, protection of hard- earned muscle, hunger blocking and and assisting to reduce cravings.*
Leucine is an amino acid which increases protein synthesis following an overnight fast. This is crucial toward preventing muscle loss during an aggressive fat loss effort. Increased protein synthesis and muscle retention sends naturally anabolic signals to the brain which enable the body to focus more resources to burning stored fat as fuel. (3) An optimal amount of Leucine is included within the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis proprietary blends to promote anabolism, prevent catabolism and to optimize insulin sensitivity. Too much Leucine spikes insulin to undesirable levels, leading to body fat accumulation. The proprietary 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis ingredient ratios were developed based on published research, extensive patient hormonal blood work reviews, muscle biopsies, body composition progress testing, and performance evaluations.*
Loss of lean muscle during a fat loss effort can slow fat burning progress and increase the odds that body fat will be reaccumulated at a later date due to the negative impact on hormones as well as metabolism. Every pound of muscle burns a significant amount of calories 24-7.
How does the rate of fat-burning increase during a fasting period?
During the fasting period, as a part of the KISS Fat Loss Nutrition Plan, the body typically seeks out the most readily available fuel source. In this case; stored body fat. Dr. Serrano scientifically engineered the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis proprietary ingredient ratios to enable protection of hard-earned muscle from being burned as fuel while signaling the brain that burning fat is the best option to fuel activity around the clock.*
Why the KISS plan can be so effective in burning belly fat
One of the leading causes of high levels of belly fat is poor insulin sensitivity. This means that the body releases too much insulin; a potent fat storage hormone every time that food is eaten. The KISS Plan protocols including modified fasting can improve insulin sensitivity so the body responds better to everything that you eat. High stress levels can also contribute to belly fat problems; making insulin levels even higher while activating fat storage receptors.*

“My name is Megan, I am a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, US Navy Veteran, and a WBFF Bikini Diva Fitness Competitor. I have always been an active person, but also a very social person. Being social lead me to a lifestyle of excessive poor food choices and a lot of partying. I made the change of lifestyle January 2014, and entered my first fitness competition with the WBFF placing in the Top 10 at the WBFF Fitness Atlantic in April.
It was the end of April that I noticed my body was no longer making lean gains, I wasn’t losing body fat, and I was craving sweets and chocolate. This was unusual for me, as normally I tend to crave chips and salsa. This is when I contacted Scott Mendelson at Infinity Fitness and within moments I had communication with Scott himself.
We discussed my body measurements, what I needed to happen, and the date of my competition. I was 41 days out by this time, and Scott referred me to the KISS Fat Loss Nutrition Program. I could not believe the results I had in a week! The KISS program [can] works with any person’s activity level. I used the 100% MR, Muscle Synthesis Powder, Alpha Omega M3, Fat Reduce FBO5 and GCX10 with great success.
Scott always kept in contact with me, making sure I had my questions answered, and how things as a whole were looking. When I wasn’t dropping numbers on the scale, I was dropping inches off my waist and hips.
I successfully reached my goal from starting weight of 134 pounds at 18% body fat (Top Picture) to 126lbs at 12.5% body fat measured by calipers in 30 days. I placed 3rd in the Diva Bikini Category and could not have been more pleased with my results.
I recommend this program for any athlete or people looking to start a program, create their own transformation journey, or even continue the one they are on. Thank you Scott for all your help!”*
GCX10 is an advanced supplement designed to attack extremely stubborn and visceral fat without the use of stimulants
Research shows that key GCX10 ingredient Lactoferrin interferes with the accumulation of fat in cells, prevents the formation of new fat cells and increases the utilization of stored fat to be burned as fuel. (cite) Alpha Omega M3 is a scientifically engineered essential fatty acid complex designed to destroy belly fat by optimizing insulin sensitivity and cleansing fat cells. This is not your Grandma’s generic price club fish oil! A scientifically calibrated balance of toxin filtrated EPA, DHA, CLA, Vitamin E, Lecithin, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, ALA, GLA, Avocado Oil and Flaxseed oil are unmatched for their belly fat burning effectiveness.*
Belly fat burning published research
A groundbreaking eight-week study published in the August 2010 British Journal of Medicine demonstrated that daily intake of Lactoferrin produced a significant decrease in visceral fat and total body fat. The group using Lactoferrin lost an average of 1.79 inches of body fat from their waist while the control group lost only .35 inches over the same time period. (1) The GCX 10 proprietary ingredient blend includes more Lactoferrin in a dose of four capsules than what was used in the study to improve client belly fat burning.*
Alternating fasting and non-fast days to prevent staleness
We suggest that you consider using the modified fast 3-4 days per week and adding in breakfast on the remaining days of the week. It is ideal to weight train on days with higher food intake. Our clients have had great success reducing body fat levels and improving core definition when using an explosive medicine ball circuit combined with interval sprints during the early evening before dinner on a modified fast day several times per week. The 20-30 minute sessions can work to fire up metabolism and fat burning hormones while improving abdominal muscle definition in your backyard.*
Advanced carbohydrate and dietary fat-loading diagnostic testing
Over the last few months our customized training and nutrition plan clients have had great fat loss success using an advanced nutrition protocol toward determination of best responses to carbohydrate or dietary fat loading. We ask clients to record specific information including how they look in the mirror on the loading days to gauge their response. Following the 16 to 24 day testing protocol we gain necessary information to build a highly effective fat loss plan for the next eight to twelve weeks customized to the client’s specific needs and hormonal conditions.*
