Here’s the EXACT
Reason You Should
Never Diet Like a Man…
SCROLL FOR MORE INFORMATIONAnd today, I’m going to share what new research reveals is the exact reason why it’s so much more difficult for you to lose weight and keep it off compared to men.
And more importantly you’ll doscovered a breakthrough tip used by women in this page to banish unwanted body fat that you can use to do the same by…
John Barban
DRAMATICALLY
INCREASING
YOUR FEMALE
METABOLISM.
You’ll also see how this unusual tip allows you to strategically eat the foods you crave most, and still experience the slimmest, sexiest waistline of your life. Plus, you’ll also learn which common foods touted as “healthy” can make losing a single pound virtually impossible for women.
Now I totally get it if you think you’ve heard and tried it all when it comes to dieting and weight loss but I completely guarantee you’ve NEVER seen anything like this before and I promise you’re about to be absolutely amazed.
Listen, before we go any further let me assure you this has nothing to do with silly exercise machines, cardio, restrictive or pre-packaged diets, or whatever weird berry pill the diet industry is talking about these days. This is something completely different and you’re going to love it.

Weight loss 39 lbs, waist loss 9″ and hips loss 3.5″
Really quickly, a little tidbit about me you may not already know:
In the last 10 years, if you’ve taken any effective supplement by any of the world’s biggest brand names, chances are you’ve seen my work.
Now before you start thinking this tip has something to do with a supplement, let me stop you right there because it doesn’t.
I only mention this because I discovered this unique tip during the time I was consulting for the company that makes the number one selling weight loss supplement in the world for Women.
LISA’S
WAY
Which is what I’ll be sharing with you in just a few moments. First, I’d like to introduce you to someone I’m very proud of, my sister Lisa because to be perfectly honest, she is the real reason I was even studying the female metabolism so passionately in the first place.
You see, Lisa has always been one of the most important women in my life. Ever since we were kids she’s always looked out for me and has been there for me when I needed anything. She really is the best sister a brother could ask for. And when my sister reached out to me for help with her weight, I felt like the worst failure in the world when I couldn’t help her.
You see, none of my degrees, experience or world class certifications gave me what I needed to help Lisa achieve the true, long term weight loss she deserved the way I’ve been fortunate enough to have been able to do for thousands of men across the globe including myself with the cutting edge programs I’ve authored.
And to see my sister whom I absolutely adore suffer with her health and negative self-image issues because of her weight was heart-breaking. It got to the point she seemed ashamed to even order food at restaurants. Yet, I sincerely believed with all of my heart if she could solve her weight problem, it would positively affect every part of her life and relationships like it did for me.
Now our family comes from a long line of “bad genetics” and I know exactly what it feels like to hate the overweight reflection looking back in the bathroom mirror. And I would have given anything to have what worked for me work for Lisa. But it didn’t. And after Lisa had my niece Paige, things got even worse for her. She was tipping the scales at 210 pounds, which at 5 foot 1, was dangerously unhealthy… and emotionally she was totally depressed because she thought she had tried everything.
I remember it was a Monday afternoon, almost 2 years after Lisa had Paige, when I stumbled upon research leading to female fat loss loopholes unlike anything I’d ever imagined. Loopholes that would ultimately allow Lisa to shed a breathtaking 53 pounds of undesirable body fat!
However, as impressive as that was, what stands out the most to her family and friends is that her physical transformation led to a personal transformation that finally enabled her to live as the confident, proud, beautiful woman we always saw her to be.
Now listen closely and stay with me for what I’m about to share because this is the most important piece of information I’ve got for you, ok?
Science has now discovered that virtually everything to do with weight loss for both men and women is controlled by one master hormone.
This hormone that controls 100% of your body’s abilityto burn fat is Leptin.
You may not know how Leptin works, so let me quickly explain:
High levels of Leptin speed up your metabolism and signal your body to burn fat and low levels of Leptin slow down your metabolism and signal your body to store fat. Those are the basics, now get ready for some surprising facts regarding Women and Leptin.
Researchers recently discovered that women naturally have twice as much of the fat burning hormone Leptin in their body compared to men.
That’s the good news!
However, brand new research revealed the following bad news that explains why women can struggle so much to lose unattractive body fat and keep it off:
1.
2.
And have you ever suffered from that terrible rebound weight gain after you stop a diet?
Well that’s because your Leptin dropped significantly making your metabolism even slower than before you started the diet, resulting in fat piling back on even when you’re eating next to nothing.
So, to quickly recap:
Not Fun!
Fact is evolution has made it much more difficult for women to lose weight by keeping Leptin’s signal to burn fat ‘disconnected’
Because of the demands of child bearing, and child nurturing. Your body doesn’t know or care about your desires for a sexy waistline that looks hot in those skinny jeans.
All it knows is the unattractive body fat you’re carrying provides stored energy and warmth to ensure protection and survival of the next generation.
With this being the case…
…guess what happens with your Leptin issues following pregnancy!?
Well, they get a lot worse which is exactly why losing that baby weight can be painstakingly difficult, as my sister Lisa knew all too well.
You see, your body is hardwired to fight a losing battle with Leptin every single time you attempt to lose weight. And I’m sure you can now truly understand why this is totally not your fault.
Yet, this is where it gets really interesting. Recall the good news researchers discovered:
You naturally have twice as much Leptin as a man.
This, as odd as it sounds…
…means you have much more fat burning potential than men… it’s just almost completely UNTAPPED… it’s like your genetics have been playing a cruel trick on you!
Yet, what if I told you there is a solution to turn the tables on your genetics by resetting the way your body utilizes Leptin to turn your fat burning switch all the way on, and never let it drop again.
Can you imagine how much faster and easier you’ll lose weight when you have your master fat burning hormone working in overdrive for you instead of against you? The difference is like night and day!
Can you picture how much firmer and flatter your stomach becomes and how much tighter and sexier you look and feel?
Well, you can make this your reality starting today just like all of the real, everyday women you’ve been seeing have. There is now a solution proven to deliver these spectacular results.
AND IT’S CALLED METABOLIC OVERRIDE
Metabolic override consists of simple, yet extremely powerful strategies that hold the key to unleashing your full fat burning potential that your genetics has kept locked away your whole life.
These totally unique strategies have transformed Lisa and her friends… and now countless hundreds of women have experienced the same shocking, life-changing results. The tried, true and proven metabolic override strategies have now been honed into one guaranteed plan for female fat loss.
I’d like to introduce you to what really is the future of female fat loss.
THE VENUS FACTOR
The Venus Factor is the first and only weight loss plan designed to dramatically increase female metabolism and bring out the sexy goddess in you by delivering fast, long term, enjoyable fat loss…
Without restricting the foods you crave most, without working yourself in some death trap contraption, and most certainly WITHOUT working against your body so your fat loss process becomes simple, and even ENJOYABLE.
This female fat loss blueprint will work for you even if you have little to no time, terrible genetics like Lisa and I, a super slow metabolism, a thyroid condition or even if you think you’ve tried everything.
Now, let me tell you what The Venus Factor is NOT so you know what you’re about to experience.
It is NOT another fad, restrictive, or difficult diet that inevitably results in:
- Uncontrollable food cravings
- Frustrating plateaus
- Diminished energy and fatigue
- A damaged, slower, fat storing metabolism
Or at best, temporary weight loss with piles of embarrassing rebound weight gain to follow.
No…
GENERIC DIETS FOR MEN HAVE SET YOUR METABOLISM UP TO FAIL ENOUGH.
It’s time for a solution that truly works with your female metabolism instead of against it to ensure your success.
When your metabolism’s fat burning switch is turned on using The Venus Factor strategies that have been proven and perfected with thousands of women just like you, you can expect the exact opposite experience of other diets.
- No food cravings
- No plateaus
- An astonishingly faster, fat burning metabolism
- Fat loss from female problem areas like your stomach, hips, butt and thighs
All while your energy soars, your weight rapidly decreases and you finally have the freedom to claim the life and body you absolutely deserve.
The Venus Factor is a super easy to follow 12 week nutrition plan that shows you exactly what to do step by step to create a new, fat burning metabolism. You’ll discover things like:
- Surprising foods that damage Leptin sensitivity and make losing even a single pound next to impossible for women. Watch how fast the weight falls off in the first 2 weeks of the program when you simply eliminate these processed and soy foods.
- The one cheat food trick that spikes female metabolism and keeps your Leptin sky-high. This is the only way for women to burn fat around the clock… even when you’re sound asleep. Once you learn this secret, you’ll never look at fat loss the same way again.
- The one vital nutrient for weight loss almost all women are exceptionally deficient in. Raise this one nutrient starting today and immediately increase your fat burning and skyrocket your energy levels.
- The one odd herb recently proven to accelerate female fat loss by increasing Leptin sensitivity a whopping 52%!
AND NOW WHAT WOMEN FIND MOST REMARKABLE:
The groundbreaking Venus Factor Virtual Nutritionist that shows you exactly what to eat and when for the next 12 weeks to disintegrate fat from your problem areas. Your Virtual Nutritionist is designed to help make every 10 pounds you lose look like 20 by burning fat from where you visually need to most.
As you can probably tell, The Venus Factor was developed to take female fat loss to another level. And fast. In fact, hundreds of women report inches vanishing from their problem areas within weeks and they have the startling pictures you’re seeing to prove it…
…which is amazing considering they’re experiencing these rapid results while still enjoying their favorite foods like pizza, pasta, ice cream, and chocolate at the perfect times to accelerate female fat loss.
Now look, before we go any further, it’s important for me to be 100% honest and upfront with you.
If you’re looking for that magic weight loss answer, or if you just want this week’s celebrity fad diet… or some gimmick deep down you already know will never work, The Venus Factor is not for you.
The Venus Factor is only for Women that are ready to put down the gimmick answers in order to follow a proven, flavorful step by step system for weight loss.
So, if you want the real answer to female weight loss…
…and if you want to get the bikini body you desire without damaging your metabolism, or spending endless hours in the gym and sacrificing your favorite foods or red wine to do it, then The Venus Factor isn’t just “a system” for you…
IT’S THE ONLY SYSTEM FOR YOU…
Now, you may believe a one of a kind system that delivers all of this will be extremely expensive.
And truth be told, it really should be considering the countless hundreds of women it’s transformed so quickly when nothing else worked. And of course when my hourly consulting fee for the biggest supplement companies in the world is over $500.00 it’s only natural to think a system that I’ve poured years of my life into creating might be unaffordable.
However, it’s not. I only felt right by making The Venus Factor affordable for every woman that needs to lose weight so don’t worry. I’ll get to the price in just a moment. First I need to make you aware of something.
This 12 week female fat loss exercise program is a perfect complement to your main program because most women that workout are unknowingly ruining their results using strategies designed for men instead of following a system proven to match a woman’s hormonal environment. This program uses unique exercises to match your hormonal state to target, strengthen and tone your softest areas, and eradicate cellulite from them while accelerating your fat loss results.
Inside you’ll discover things like:
- Why your workout needs to be much shorter and way less intense than a man’s in order to burn fat optimally
- The exact exercises women should never do because they actually stall fat loss and make cellulite worse. And you’ll be happy to know this includes eliminating long, useless cardio
- Unique, easy exercises you can do from home to boost your metabolism, significantly increase Leptin sensitivity, kill cellulite, and maximize your fat loss
Now, as crazy as this sounds, I’m not even going to charge my 1 hour rate of $500.00 for The Venus Factor in which I’m also including this $297 bonus absolutely free for you today. Nope, I promised you I was going to make this affordable for every woman that needs to lose weight and I meant it. That’s why you’re not even going to pay half of that.
