Welcome to Michael-Mountain.com

Much of what you will find here will be given to you absolutely free of charge! Why? Why for example would I be giving away an amazing, cutting edge and incredibly effective diet program called the Ultimate Fat Loss Solution for free?
Because I want you to have the vital information you need and I don’t want you to make the mistakes that I made, or struggle the way I struggled.
You see, I am assuming that you are a good caring person just as I was, but maybe just like I was, you are not happy. Not happy with the way you look, your energy or the way you feel about yourself. Yes you are a beautiful person inside right now, but you also realize that there is a leaner, fitter, more out-going version of yourself just dying to come out.
This is where I found myself also and I had been trying to change things for 20 years! I had tried 7 different diets over those 20 years and no matter how much weight I lost, I always gained it back.
It was so depressing… no, it was soul destroying.
I wanted to be more than I was, a better version of myself with great health and high self-esteem. I wanted to be a better husband and a better role model for my kids by feeling great about my body, my health, my energy and myself.
I knew I needed to create an incredibly effective diet program; one that quickly increased my over-all health, was simple to follow, was realistic long term and one that massively accelerated fat burning so I lost all the weight quickly.
Not only that, I also needed to find out how to create a permanent transformation, a true lifestyle change – not just for myself but for others as well…and I have!
In fact, I have come to believe that all of my past weight loss failures and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understanding that has created the new level of love, health and fitness, I now enjoy.

Is There Such a Thing as Good Calories and Bad Calories?
Is There Such A Thing? Good Calories VS Bad Calories
There is a common question that I hear and that is, “is there such a thing as good calories and bad calories? Well the answer would be yes and no.
You see, a calorie is defined as the approximate energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Oh geez, that doesn’t make it any clearer either, does it?
Now that you are totally confused, let’s cut to the chase and let me try to make it clear.
A calorie is a calorie, as long as you ignore the overall benefits or ill-effects the calorie has on health and metabolism. Said differently, and this was tested quite recently by a man who lost approximately 25 lbs eating nothing but Twinkies, that a calorie equals a calorie regardless of what the calorie is made of. This is why, simply from a calorie breakdown perspective the answer is that there are no good calories and bad calories.
Many people preach that weight loss is simply nothing more than a calorie deficit, energy in has to be less than energy out or expended. In essence, as long as you eat less than your body needs – it will burn calories stored as fat, the type or quality of the calories being irrelevant. And this is true if you don’t care about; health, energy, body composition, and stagnant weight loss! That is why that man could lose weight on a Twinkie diet, and the same can happen eating nothing but cookies, cabbage soup, subway sandwiches, cardboard, etc. As long as you eat less than your body needs, you will lose some weight.
The problem lies in that the type and quality of the calories have an effect upon the body; those effects lead to increases or decreases in energy and health as well as facilitate weight loss or inhibit weight loss. That is why I said that indeed there is such a thing as good calories and bad calories!
So, we could say that Good Calories are nutrient dense calories that promote a health and weight loss advantage, whereas bad calories are nutrient poor calories that diminish health and create a weight loss disadvantage.
Good Calories accomplish the following that Bad Calories do not…
- Increases the health and function of the liver – the liver is the major organ for burning fat in the body, when it works better you accelerate fat burning and weight loss! Bad Calories decrease the function of the liver.
- Decreases inflammation in the body – the number one problem of fat in the body is the production of inflammatory chemicals that lead to heart disease, thickening of the arteries, chronic pain and a whole slew of other stuff you do not want. You can lose weight eating crap but your body will continue to suffer with ill-health and disease due to inflammation.
- Burns mostly fat – Good calories burn the largest percentage of fat compared to muscle, bad calories do the opposite!
- Maintains and Increases the formation of new lean muscle – lean muscle burns more fat, so that your new muscle very quickly starts to accelerate fat loss. Dieting while eating only Bad Calories will have you losing as much muscle as you do fat, the scale might say that you lost weight but your body will be weaker than ever!
- Increases your energy and the health of your entire body – By increasing the health of your body by giving it the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to function better, it will affect all aspects of your body! Dieting while eating only Bad Calories will have you feeling terrible regardless of any weight change!
- You don’t have to be obsessed with counting calories when you eat good calories – They all increase health and increased health accelerates fat loss. Dieting while eating bad calories means you have to be obsessed with every bite. One too many French fries can tip the balance and screw up a day’s dieting efforts! Do you really want to bring a calculator to every meal?

Vince Delmonte
It has been aptly said that if you need to change anything in your life; find someone who has shared your struggle or problem, and who figured out a solution to that problem and do what they did.
Check out this great video from Vince Delmonte
Vince Delmonte might just be that person for some of you. He is not for those who feel that they are overweight and who need to lose weight to get healthy and become a better version of themselves. That is not his story.
Vince Delmonte has not had a life of struggle and frustration due to being a “fat kid”. On the contrary, Vince has lived a life of struggle, frustration, bullying and rejection from the opposite sex because he was the “skinny kid”. In fact, his nickname growing up was “Skinny-Vinnie”, obviously a nickname that was not meant to flatter him.
His life was tortured by the never ending desire to be noticed, to be attractive to the girls and to not forever be known as Skinny Vinnie.
It is in moments of struggle though, that inner-strength for change is forged. Vince took every moment he could to go to the gym to force change upon his unreceptive muscles. He experimented with diet, nutrition, supplements and weight gain powders in hopes he would find the hidden combination that would allow his dead, weak muscles to begin to swell, to begin to respond.
And yet, failure was always his. His father, watching his tormented son, told him to give up on his pipe dream and to be the runner he was built to be, not the strong, muscular man he wished to be. Vince began to listen and believe it was not meant to be, he was destined to be a 90 pound weakling.
He had just about given up on ever achieving his dream when while at church praying for the hands of god to make his muscles grow, he met the man who would forever change his life.
Vince met a former body builder, one who taught him the secret to developing a strong muscular physique even if his scrawny frame seemed resistant to it. Fortunately, it is a happy ending after that for Vince.
But, more than that the lesson is found in the fact, that changing anything including your weight, health and yes your physique is usually just one person away who has the right knowledge! When you need to change something, find someone who has found a solution to your problem and do what they did!
