      The 1-Hour Goddess - Anne Clara Laugesen

      The Death of Starvation and Treadmills

      Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

      - Jim Rohn

      Chapter 1

      Why you’re holding this book

      What you know about workout and nutrition is wrong.

      Most of us women believe that sweating on a treadmill and counting calories is the way to achieve happiness. But there is a better way.

      You don’t need to sweat on a treadmill four hours a week, and you don’t need to go to the gym every day to lose weight. I decreased my body fat dramatically with less than two short workouts a week.

      You don’t need to starve yourself. If that’s what you’re doing now, stop. I lost weight by systematically overeating once a week.

      You don’t need to count calories. The way society thinks about calories has twisted reality. Quitting caloric measures cut me down 13lbs in 4 months – for good.

      In fact, it’s possible to transform your body with just 1 hour a week.

      What you do need to do, is apply the minimum amount of effort that will give you the maximum results.

      So why are you holding this book? Because it will teach you how to eat without counting calories, how to lose weight without starving, and how to build muscle and get fit with the minimum time required.

      All this is possible because this book attacks conventional calorie and cardio paradigms and explains with research and my own experience why you will become a better you by taking up resistance training and focus on building muscle without worry of becoming bulky - with just 1 hour a week.

      The science of building muscle has belonged to men for too long. It also belongs to women.

      Say goodbye to I don’t have time to work out. At the end of this book, you will know how to become a better, fitter you. If you have access to a gym, use the training plan provided in the book. If not, I also have a Home Workout Plan that belongs to the book but could not get attached here due to technical reasons. To get the plan, just email me at anne@workoutperfect.com and I will send it to you.

      Chapter 2

      From Hopping Diets to Happiness

      It was February 2013, and I had been struggling for years to get those last 6kg (13lbs) of extra belly-thigh-and-arm fat off after a fun trip to South America too full of carbs, alcohol and sugar. My friends knew me as the girl hitting the gym every morning at 6am, and the one who randomly decided to complete a marathon in three weeks after never having run more than 10km (yes I got injured, please do not try this). I tried endless diets and heaps of cardio workout programs.

      Yet I would look in the mirror every morning highly unsatisfied with how I looked. I’d go on the scale, and the stupid number on the scale would crush my mood. The spare tire around my waist seemed to have grown stuck on me no matter how many crunches and sit-ups I did, and my hours of elliptical workout just didn’t make a difference. As many other girls I’d been struggling for years with eating disorders coming and going.

      Why am I telling you this? Because today I look in the mirror, and I’m finally happy with what I see. There’s always the occasional wine-belly staring back at me after a night out, but it doesn’t bother me anymore – cause I know how to deal with it.

      I lost the 6kg (13lbs) and gained a lot of muscle mass on the way, meaning I now look leaner than I ever did. I’m still no Scary Spice, but I found a way to get close.

      I started with functional high intensity training and Paleo-inspired clean eating, which proved to have amazing results for me – the downside was, it was time consuming. As I’m an entrepreneur at heart and a long distance runner by passion, I needed to find a way to cut down the time I had to spend on being happy about my body. Running never got me anywhere near my idea of a perfect body, so I knew it wasn’t enough. In business there’s a common principle called the Pareto Principle, and I figured this may be applicable for our physique as well. Pareto’s Principle is an observation that most things in life are not distributed evenly. An example is that 80% of a country’s wealth often belongs to 20% of the population. This can also be translated into effort: 20% of the input creates 80% of the results. This is exactly what this book is based on: creating a way to maximize the results we achieve while minimizing the time we invest.

      And yes, I finally found a method that actually works – A balanced, clean eating lifestyle with bi-weekly 30min intense workouts for maximum results. This method is what I’d like to share with you. Whilst various types of training for several hours a week may be great for competitive athletes and weight lifters, I found a recipe for the 20% of the effort and time that will give me – and you – 80% of the results.

      All in 1 hour a week.

      Finally, I broke up my long-term relationship with calorie counting, starvation diets and my evil scale. And with this technique, so can you.

      Most importantly, I found out that choosing a sustainable lifestyle would save me from diet-hopping, eating disorders and yo-yo weight. I found a great deal of happiness and self-acceptance this way. I don’t have a body fat percentage of 5% - but I know that if it meant more to me to reach a near-zero fat percentage, I could do that.

      My intention with this book is to share it with you ladies out there also struggling – whether you’re just missing the last few kilos or you are looking for a big change in your life, you can apply the principles that we’ll go through.

      The best part? It’s ridiculously simple.

      Chapter 3

      Credits to the research

      I am no great expert, nor a PhD in Health. I am a continuous explorer and student of a healthy lifestyle. I geek out about how to get the most of my time, achieve my goals and be the best physical and mental version of myself.

      This book relies not only on my own experiences but also highly on great research of experts and students, and I am merely the facilitator and mediator of the great knowledge that they have gathered.

      I don’t know everything, but I know what works and what doesn’t work. I wrote this book to pass on the knowledge that improved my health and made me a happier, more self-accepting person.

      Every small step to improve the world counts, and if I help one person live a happier, more fulfilling life, that has served the purpose of the book.

      Chapter 4

      What You Won’t Find in This Book

      Don’t think of this book as a perfect guide. There’s mountains of knowledge out there – search for it, find it and apply it, and use your common sense. Knowledge is worth nothing if not applied.

      Also, this book is not for professional athletes. With this approach we’re maximizing results while minimizing the input of effort. Although many of the concepts can be used and applied for anyone, if you’re a competing athlete you’ll need to put in more time than what I advocate because you will need the extra
