We didn’t do a weekly recap yesterday. So… You can spend the morning back tracking > here.
The weekend was a festive one @ fall season shenanigans heating up. So today… We’re going to kick start the week, with a topic that we haven’t talked about in a long time (since we’ve been focused on teaching you about the S-curve experience and the ‘becoming S-curvish’ process).
That is… The foods and meals.
But ‘not’ > this beginning part of S-curve food process. Nah… More towards, the eating restaurant food and foods from different cultures part of it.
Being from a melting pot city (raised around people from many different backgrounds). I got to experience a lot of different foods from early on in life.
First… Some faves of my own @ to try for Thanksgiving/Christmas
– Mint sauce on lamb
– Fried plantain
– Sugar cane juice
– Fried dumplins
– Bread pudding
– Look for a soft brown bun bread with fruit and raisins inside
That’s a wide mixture of very yummy A-F rated. It’s the festive season. So you’re allowed to care less, enjoy and embrace.
And In general…
– Pineapple boat with rice inside + various meat choppings (Thailand)
– Tacos + dip
– Chicken adobo (Phillippines)
– Special or chicken fried rice (Chinese)
That list is truly endless.
We typically start to embrace this stuff more, when you’ve reached at least 60% S-curvish. And to definitely be embraced on Travel-curvish 2.0 trips.
Which can be seen via the shenanigans album on my own profile and via the @fitbuzz Pinterest feed via > More buzz).
We don’t do much with recipes here. Just a focus on the ingredients.
So it’s…
A) Eye up the restaurants food menu
B) Subconsciously eye up the A-F rated foods in the meals listed
C) Order… Based on how you feel
D) Try something new… And take the meal ideas home with you :D.
The foods above, are just from my own experiences.
So reply or message with some of your faves. As I’ll be trying those and sharing them with everyone else here.
Like I said last week… Do all of that mental preparation stuff. But like with anything you intend to succeed with. Just ‘start’ @ whatever that is.
Which is exactly what you’re being prepared for, in this years > fall season program. Which is of course,what happens before (almost all) stage 2 members, migrate to stage 3.
They’re sitting there like that, because that’s the success formula that continues to work again and again. So it probably won’t change for a while.

It’s the weekend. In our world. That means…
– Cheat snacking shenanigans
– Travel-curvish 2.0 + Come up for air (Break away from tech) moments
TC2.0 is the most exciting aspect of the S-curve experience at present.
So…
Thanksgiving is here. It does only apply to those in the US of A. But the entire world is influenced by it.
– Especially by businesses
– And because the internet has now fully brought the offline and online worlds together into one (Almost)
Which is why we transitioned the main program into a LIVE process, to mimic what happens face to face.
Anyway…
You’ll embrace the binge next week. Or semi-binge like > Shawn. And after that… You’ll start to feel ready to tackle a new year.
Which usually means you’re ready to embrace a > results phase.
That results phase is what typically ‘fully’ happens after all the teaching, educating and coaching that goes on in this years > fall season program. (Which is what always happens before anyone becomes a long term member). Which spans about 2-3 weeks.
We’re very active in those 2-3 weeks. But it doesn’t mean we have to hit everything exact. We’re just going with the flow. And learning about your life too.
This is the usual time people want to be on a results phase. Which makes sense. New Years resolutions are BS as always. But new year goals are not. They should be embraced!
Got a few super trips coming up? Like Bora Bora or Fiji?
Then getting to 60-90% S-curvish is indeed a goal that should be reached. Using the time frame that’s listed on the results phase page above.
So ya. Goal setting is far from BS and super important.
Once that Feb-March zone hits. You should be mentally ready from all those results phase shenanigans.
Everyone that did it last year was. And they was more than ready to start enjoying life a little more by switching to a lifestyle phase.
Which is more easy going. And more of what the S-curve lifestyle…
The right time to start?
It is true that you have to get mentally ready to start here.
But the best thing to do once you’re in that mind space, is to then set a week for when it’ll happen. That’s why I started the countdown of the fall season program early. And why I’ve made it last until the 20th of December.
As I’ve seen how this scenario plays out many times now.
Enjoy your Saturday.
We had to ban your signal

Filed under The Fitness Bug
It was indeed a Justice League day yesterday.
Should you watch? Well… I was entertained. Just as I was with the Wonder Woman film. And each Super Hero had their moment.
Banning your signal?
I’m basically going to put out all of the topics that was discussed, with the FitBuzzers that I was out with last night.
And one of those topics. Was the elimination of standard TV watching.
Yup.
Almost no one turns on a channel to watch random TV. But they do own TV’s to stream stuff. All of our oldest videos were uploaded in at least 720p HD. So no quality issues there for now.
Shredding fat on the midsection + Preventing boob shrinkage.
That’s hard to do. And the success levels of that outcome, mostly comes down to real world experience of achieving that goal.
That was the most important module that we focused on this year over in the tweak weeks. But if that is an issue for you right now. I can tell you for sure… It’ll take some months to achieve (As it did for me this year).
It’ll be quickly achieved if you have at least a couple of results phases in your long term plan, within a 6 month time period.
And no… There’s no individual quick fixes that’ll I’ll list here for you. Remember what I said > here.
Your upper butt
This is the 2nd thing that you’ll focus on.
#1 After that shred above
#2 If you currently do not have a naturally strong upper butt
There are 3 parts of your butt. The middle ‘biggest part’ is easiest to change. The upper butt is the hardest to change.
You’ll need to include one exercise as a part of your TDE video to help change the body part. And you’ll need to focus on exercises that hit your horizontal + semi horizontal muscle fibers.
Which usually means variations of…
– Hip extensions
– Leg lifts
– Lunges
– Abductions
Cheat snacking
I always have to highlight this first in new convos.
As new people tend to think they need to be super health conscious when they enter S-curve world. Which you know… Is the opposite.
So like I said recently…
– TGIF cheat nights we embrace
– Very small amounts @ D-F rated cheat snacks
– Fruit as your cheat snack at all other times
What we talk about in replies and messages ends up here on the newsletter. So do that. And > More buzz for everything else.
I have a story to tell…
November 18, 2017 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug
Yup… You’ll usually see a ton of throwback stuff on this day.
Today… It’s all > Justice League for me @ cinema shenanigans. So you can all imagine yourselves as Wonder Woman again. Since that’s what we turn you into here. Hehe
But since it is a TBT. I’m going to dig into some S-curve member stories from the past 5 years. Excluding the ones from the past (Big rush + program ‘higher end’ evolution) 12 months.
S-curve member Pamela
You know when you think you’ve tried everything to succeed physically…
News flash = You haven’t!
This applies to almost all who became members.
But if you look at the 121 coaching chats that we did with Pam. You’ll see that she was genuinely shocked @ the physical changes she started to see.
The biggest lesson she learned. Was that a real shred (That you get to keep) takes a number of months to achieve.
And to then… Know how to perfect. You don’t have time to learn how to do that. You just need to be shown. And then ‘DO’ @ stage 3 shenanigans.
FitBuzzer Arora
There was no timeline on that pic. But since I can personally tell you how long it’ll take someone to reach their ideal physique, just by looking at them ‘today’.
I can tell you… That result will take 8-12 months of being on a results phase. That’s not very fun though. And is not recommended here.
So… 12-18 months of shifting between a results and lifestyle phase.
One more… S-curve member Yani
She reminded me of the members from this past year. As we got really close. Which means I learned all about her family, boyfriend etc.
Which means I got to see how her changes impacted them too. Her mom genuinely asked her ”WTF have you been doing”.
Anyway… Her issue, is that she wasn’t triggering her results properly with the workouts.
Which meant that she didn’t get those increased hunger pains. Which meant that she didn’t feel the need to eat more (And eat S-curvishly too). Once she did… That result came.
All of the above is good and great. But it all happened during a time, when we was focused on the physical side of things ONLY.
Now… It’s about mastering the lifestyle and mental side of things. Because that is where the reality of your daily life exists.
In fact… Some members go long term. Just for the consistent mental fix.
– Accountability
– 121 coaching chats keeping you on the wagon
– An entity that has your back, regardless (Which is something that cannot be said @ some of the current people in your life)
Does your butt sound like this…?

Buzzers… Wednesday…
LIVE and direct part 2
Yup… Everything that you see me highlight at present. Is coming from the talks with new members, who are at stages 1-3 or on the > fall season coaching chats (Which prepares you for stage 3).
One of the things I’m seeing. Is that folks are’ busy’. Seriously.
A time consuming, ‘learn stuff yourself’ program is NOT what folks need.
That’s why today, it’s….
– Internet connection
– Mobile device, tablet, stream on any TV (To stream the workouts and access your member page)
– Use those devices for 121 chat coaching sessions
That’s it. Nothing else is needed to start/continue. Regardless of where you are in the world.
Associates/FitBuzzers and established S-curve members are living like this.
This…
– ‘Coming up for air’ and being away from tech
– Taking your program with you on your trips
> The experience as a whole + Mental and lifestyle fixing FTW @ 60%-ish.
> Becoming S-curvish/Shred-curvish @ 40%-ish
Talking of ‘mental’… Some info for beginners, who are new to being a part of a ‘higher end’ experience.
If you look like shite. There’s a good chance that you’ve only dealt with lower end products or services in this space (The become S-curvish part).
For example: When starting on stage 1 or 2, after being a newsletter reader only.
Instead of asking what reps and sets you could do today, to start fixing the physical YOU. Think bigger and better.
Instead… Ask something like… ”What process can I follow over the next month, in order to see positive noticeable changes”.
Which includes:
– Lifestyle change fixes.
– ‘What to do’ with the ‘how to do’ @ workouts and nutrition.
– An overview of all the stages you’ll go through, long after that first month.
And even if we gave you some initial reps and sets to follow. That would only ‘trigger’ a short term change.
It won’t feed or keep the change that you want. Long term ‘LIVE and in the moment’ actionable plans
Again… Member page + 121 chats.
Becoming S-curvish reminder blueprint tips
#1 Your weakest looking body part…
Do an exercise that targets that area, every single day.
That sounds unstructured. Because it is. We structure it, by including that (best) exercise, into a tailored daily exercise video that appears on your member page.
And to then, change that exercise over time. Based on your on going results. Which is another reason why you need to be following through @ stage 3 shenanigans.
#2 Reply with ANY issue that you’re facing right now. And I’ll throw a blueprint tip your way to ‘start’ fixing it.
Coming in LIVE and direct

Coming in LIVE and direct
We’ve been S-curving for a while now. And this past week, looks exactly the same as every other long term S-curve members first week.
And the big highlight… Is that this shite takes time!
Aka… Teaching and coaching you into a a super S-curve lady, physically and mentally, takes about 1-3 weeks before you are ‘ready’.
That’s why we launched > this page to you a week ago. Rather than one week from today.
Besides… It’s the right time of the year to show you how ‘we do’ festive season food shenanigans (We embrace the binge).
Anyway… 36 days left.
Following through part 2
We did part one on Saturday. And today… I’m going to get into the dilemma that some folks face, after they’ve followed through.
So…
You got through stage 2 and are warming up to stage 3. Great. You WILL win. But the absolute worst thing you can start doing (If you wan guaranteed results) is to start following your own random path.
You can throw the ‘guarantee’ in the trash can if you do that. As I cant guarantee anything if you do that.
**LIVE update member page + 121 coaching chats**
That’s the formula that everyone who has won, has followed.
– Or being a first time driver and self teaching yourself to drive.
Also… You have to be careful. Because different workouts and nutrition shenanigans will affect your body differently, depending on what stage you’re at.
Like…
Doing the Aphrodite Butt Building routine without guidance (Doing it for 2 months straight) may get you injured.
And…
A super shred-curvish eating plan for more than 4-6 weeks might leave your muscles looking a little ‘under the weather’.
Or…
Progressing to an advanced exercise too quickly will most likely kill your motivation levels.
Follow through part 2 conclusion
It’s OK to want to get your trust levels up before going into stage 3. It’s a process. And like I said yesterday. You can never be rushed into it.
But once you’re on. And you feel comfortable. Follow the rules. You’ll save yourself a lot of pain and heartache.
Ingredients…
The long term stuff above (Re-emphasised)
– It’s the 121 coaching + LIVE updates that saves you. It shows us the problems that arise and how to fix them.
– You probably have one area on your body that needs a lot of work. That’s going to take you at least 3-4 months of successful work to fix. Which is what 121 coaching + the LIVE update member page is.
Like > this lady. Who went two years of trying to go it alone, failed miserably. Came back and succeeded within 3 weeks!
Don’t make your 2018 look like that! It makes the S-curve experience as a whole (Pre-headline on More buzz) ‘suck’. Get out of disability mode… Get enabled.
Staying Fit Without a Gym Membership – A How to Guide
November 14, 2017 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug, The Health Bug
Have you been neglecting your workout? Can’t afford a gym membership? Don’t have access to one in your local area? Maybe you just hate weights, mats and standing in line at the water fountain. Whatever the reason, you don’t have to let a lack of equipment get in the way of your health or fitness. So set a goal. Jot down a few of Bugs’ Quick Tips, and slip on those short shorts, because here are four ways to help you stay fit wherever you are.
The Park, the Running Shoes
Wide green spaces, autumn leaves, dogs running about. Your local park is the perfect opportunity for fresh air and a good bout of exercise. Forget the treadmill. Pound those feet down the running track and nod hello to your fellow joggers whizzing by. Cardio is great for you, and logging one or two hours every couple of days can be the first one of the first steps towards a stronger, healthier body. Calorie lab breaks down just how much you can expect to burn if numbers are your thing, with input for weight and speed/activity to personalise your count. 5mph for 30 minutes? That’s an easy 238 calories, thanks very much. Runnersworld has a whole list of good podcasts if you find yourself bored while working up a sweat, and there’s no need to be self-conscious while you do so, even if you recently took a break from working out. In 2016, an estimated 64 million people of all fitness levels and sizes popped out for a jog.
Sit Down. Rest. Watch a Game, or Two
The park, the home, the morning commute – they’re all good ways to stay fit without access to a gym. But what can you do when motivation fails you? When one break day turns into three, and three into a week? Willpower is just as important a part of building and maintaining fitness as the actual exercise itself, after all. Well, something that might help is simply sitting your butt down and watching a bit more sport. It sounds strange, I know, but trust me. According to The Guardian, over 750,000 Brits took up sport following the 2012 London Olympics, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why. When you’re surrounded by idols, competition and passion for exercise, it’ll start to rub off on you. Who do you look up to? Follow their progress if you’re in need of inspiration. Take Anthony Joshua, for example. He’s on the line to win Sporting Personality of the Year in 2017, following the likes of Andy Murray, Paula Radcliffe and Brad Wiggins, as Betway reports. This 249 lbs heavyweight star’s victories over Klitschko in the ring and endearing personality are enough to make anybody keen on sport and exercise again! If Joshua won’t do it for you, how about Serena Williams or Kevin Durant, whose defensive prowess was recently praised on ESPN?
A Quick Home Workout
There’s no excuse for failing to move, not really. A 2×2 meter space is all it takes. Just clear that coffee table and get ready to squat. A whole host of home workouts are available online, so finding one that suits you best is easy, and with enough experience, you’ll be able to pick, choose and personalise the exercises that suit you best, whether that’s working your core or building muscle. Click here to see a comprehensive calisthenics guide from AthleticMuscle.
Make sure you’re getting enough water, while you’re at it. 2 litres a day should do the trick. Added bonuses of the home workout include easy access to the shower and the ability to strip down if you start to overheat, so don’t hold back! A high intensity home circuit will get those muscles moving and burn up to 500 calories depending on weight and effort.
Tight on time? Not a problem. Consider swapping out the morning drive for a morning cycle ride. Have confidence in those spandex leggings while you crack out the old bicycle from the garage. It doesn’t have to be the world’s greatest model to do you some good, you know. All you need is a helmet, working brakes and basic knowledge of cycle safety. If one mile of cycling burns 60 calories an hour, a daily eight-mile commute home and back again could have you burning up to 1000 a day. That’s on the extreme end of things, obviously, but if you’re willing to commit a little extra time and effort around sunrise, this could be a quick and killer way to maintain fitness. Make sure to fuel up and replace that lost energy with a good breakfast beforehand, perhaps one that’s tailored to increase your metabolism, then get out and join the masses. According to Bikeleague, an estimated 4 billion journeys were made on the back of a bicycle in the US in 2014.
There you have it. Three ways to stay physically fit, and one to help your mental motivation. Stay strong. Stay on target, and your body will follow. Say bye-bye gym fees and hello health!
Warning: You have exceeded the old limit

Mission statement: From the list
To keep you looking 10-15 years younger than your biological age.
Which is something I have noticed all year with S-curve members. But have not spoken about openly on here.
That is… To prevent you from dying early.
Let me explain…
There have been several members this year, who came into the program with ‘issues’. Many of which required surgery in the past. Or recurring attendance to… in the current day.
And in many cases… These things happened, because they kept their bodies in an unhealthy state for years on end. Until one day… It became too late.
Boom… ‘Gotta start looking for an expert source that I can trust to help me fix this’.
It’s a horrible situation. Because there you are. A woman in your 30’s or 40’s. Who wants to look and feel sexy.
Yet… You’re having to fix things inside (Which may be visible on the outside of your body). Making you feel 20 years older than you are.
This is the reason why I’ve been urging certain members not to wait around to start (They recently hit 40 years old @ their motivation for messaging).
Because time really is not on your side, if you’re currently that age (Or any age over 18 @ that’s when things start to fall apart) and currently ‘broken’.
Because you can at least start reversing some of the crap you’ve gotten your body into.
– Eating S-curvishly will push out the bad and replace it with the good.
– Cheat snacks will be fruit only.
– The exercise and strength progression process will actually make your body function better. Like…
These are the deep important topics that go on in the 121 chats. Which you can see in some of the past chat screen shots on the results pages. These are the issues that people come in with.
It’s truly heart felt.
And anyone that’s coming into this with issues like that, cannot be ‘rushed’.
That’s why we have stages 1-4 via > More buzz. And is the most important reason why we ended up creating a longer term/higher end program, over the past 3-4 years.
Because people have been coming to us with problems like this since 2013. And at that time, there was no solid program in the place, like what we have to today.
I simply had to hold their hand. There was a lot of divorce issues too, from what I remember.
That’s why we have now come full circle and why I’ve made ‘hand holding’ the focus of this years > fall season/Thanksgiving/Black Friday offering.
And it’s ‘game on’. As a couple have officially started as of last week. Which means they’ll have an awesome 2018. Just like everyone who started in last years fall season ‘rush’.
I’ll tell you this right now though…
We’re going to get real close once you’re inside. This is the only way we can truly succeed. I’m used to it. As I’ve done it a lot of times now. So it’s my job to get YOU used to it @ working closely together.
No more exceeding the ‘old’ limit. It’s time to start giving you more years of ‘good’ life.
You deserve a wonderful ‘now’ S-curve experience.
[Your Doctor] I have a cure for your infection

Yesterday… We talked about the TC2.0 shenanigans that are going on with everyone that’s involved here. And just a few hours ago… I put up a status, encouraging you to put your phone away for at least 6 hours a day.
You need to. Otherwise ‘coming up for air’ doesn’t work.
Like…
Shawn from the > first podcast cringed, at being without internet for 2-3 days for one of her upcoming trips (Understandable. But 12 hours can be OK).
And Danni from yesterday, felt like she needed a break from that same ‘come up for air’ TC2.0 trip (WTF)!
So from me to you… You see the way you have to get into the right mindset before starting on stage 3? Just… Do the same with your TC2.0 trips. Because if you don’t… There’s no point in taking a trip at all.
So keep that trip time, as ‘calendar free’ as you can @ no interruptions.
Monday
– We introduced this years > Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Fall season shenanigans.
– We explained that the S-curve formula as a whole, is a combination of science + real world testing.
– We explained how your goals will change throughout your journey.
Tuesday
It’s that festive time of year. New people are always entering our world here. So it was time to re-explain the embracing of the binge-fest, that happens on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We talked about all the things that are going on. In different areas of the S-curve experience @ levelling up.
Here… We talked about the big shift that started to happen this year @ focusing less on the nutrition and workout parts of all this (Important for the long term). Along with some blueprint tips.
Friday
– Embracing your improved daily lifestyle shenanigans… Without wishing to be somewhere else at any given moment.
– New people like > Miss Greene have started, since the announcement of this years fall season program shenanigans.
It’s very hands on, with a lot of questions floating around. So here, we talk in detail about the 4 stages.
Saturday
– What I talked about earlier.
– The issue of following through.
– Other Thanksgiving/Black Friday things that are going on, in other parts of the S-curve experience @ the stuff that exists on > More buzz.
