I tried your diet with a couple of friends recently and we got amazing results. In 7 weeks I dropped from 12% bodyfat down to just 5%! and my friends had similar results.Click for larger size image
Since then almost everyone I know is asking me what the 'secret' is and how I managed to get so ripped, so I just refer them to your page and now there are probably 20 more people I know doing it.
I've attached a few photos so you can see the results we got. We're not competitive bodybuilders, just fitness enthusiasts.
Thanks again,
Jason & Friend

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Leo Chang as my personal trainer for the past three years at frequency of approximately three times per week.  Mr. Chang has completely transformed my outlook towards fitness generally and personal training specifically.  From a position of total non-interest, personal fitness has become an integral part of my daily routine.  I have surpassed expected results, and feel great physically and mentally.  Mr. Chang makes every section different and engaging, thereby maintaining my interest on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.  I highly recommend Mr. Chang, the best personal trainer I have ever worked with.

"Pete and I have been training for 11 years and I've gotten progressively stronger and more defined over those years. Training with Peter has made me more confident in myself both physically and mentally. I've learned the right way to eat for health and for body-fat loss."

I have trained with Leo Chang for the past 2 years and although I have worked with a number of different personal trainers, my work with Leo has been the most satisfying. As a former maratnon runner and one who has worked out regularly for the past 25 years I am in the best shape of my life and I believe that Leo has been largely responsible for that. As a personal trainer Leo exhibits a number of qualities that make him unique. He provides a wealth of information while being an exceptional teacher. In addition he is creative and innovative making sure no two workouts are ever the same. The variety keeps the workouts fresh and fun. He’s very attentive to details and stresses the importance of good form. Leo’s workouts are always challenging.

I was a smoker, scoffed at exercise and was overweight and out of shape.
I had a bad back and my knees were continually giving out, preventing me
from enjoying walks with my family.
When I turned 50 I decided that my 35-year old smoking habit had to go.
And I was finally successful. I also put on 30 pounds which had other
serious consequences. My wife saw my frustration and discomfort and sensed that I was ready to do just about anything. She asked around and found Peter Marino who was instrumental in a process that has really changed my life.
Nutritional information, diet change, strength and aerobic training and
the consistent help by a posh trainer have drastically changed my life. I am in better shape than I have been in years...my knees no longer give out, the
back is supported by stronger muscles and I have the endurance to
participate in any physical activity.
Most surprising to me is that I no longer dread the formal exercise that
I avoided for so long. Peter shows up at my door so I have no choice, but I
now find him a welcome sight...and I feel great.

"At age 39, I decided that I was not going to reach my 40th birthday out of shape, that I would get serious about my health and fitness. My husband observed Leo Chang working with various people over time and said he thought Leo would be the perfect trainer for me. He was right.  With Leo's guidance, I dropped two dress sizes and toned everything. I was thrilled to turn 40 in excellent shape. Leo is adamant about perfect form when exercising, especially to minimize injury and is skilled at tailoring workouts for the individual body. He does not compromise these principles. Most of all, Leo's special skill is working with people, in a way that truly motivates them. Many personal trainers have good technical knowledge but few really connect in a meaningful way with their clients that is transformative.  I feel physically strong and more mentally positive than ever and Leo Chang is a key part of that success."
