Excerpt from BodyOpus Introduction: A Diet Book for People Who Aren’t Fat!
You’re not overweight; you’re normal. But there’s an itsy-bitsy secret, a painful part you keep to yourself because nobody will believe you. Well, I’m onto you. I won’t blab, but I know, because I’m a professional body confidante. The hush-hush is this – you’re still fat? Now relax. That was the worst news. The good news is that you’re not crazy.
You and I both know that you’ve been the good diet soldier – graduated from Weight Watchers, rotated your diet and embraced fit over fat. Perhaps you’ve even dabbled in Life Extension’s powders and pills. You doctor, looking over your weight, cholesterol and various blood tests, proclaims you marvelously healthy. Your nutritionist is upbeat; you’re on course. All those food labels at the supermarket are now memorized. (Alas, poor yogurt, I knew him well).
And finally, your clothes. Your trousers or your dress size – they’re the same sizes that the models wear (But Floyd, lose the Jockey shorts. They spoil the lines of the dress.)
Victory, You’re not obese, not overweight – you’ve finally arrived. You’re – ah, well – normal. Happy at last? No? Of course not. Deep down in your heart of hearts, you know that normal is just…normal. But let me gently remind you, you’re still not fat. You’re trim, toned, fit and in shape.
In Bodyopus, I’m here to present you with ways of realizing your dreams, the so-called physically impossible ones, by using a revolutionary new way of coordinating your diet and exercise to achieve an optimal metabolism. It doesn’t require much time, just 3 days of exercise, a total of 5 hours per week. You need a moderate amount of eating discipline, but you can “let loose” on the weekends. Interested? Read on, and I’ll show you a wild new diet system and a host of secret, insider body(building) tricks. This system will allow you to become exceptional – beyond normal – with the ability to ascend to a higher standard, perhaps to the highest standard; an optimized metabolism. If your ideal is to be a Wonderman or Wonderwoman comic book hero from your childhood, or a body model, triathlete or bodybuilder, you can set your own standard. And you can finally attain it.
It’s important for you to understand the entire title of this most unusual book (Underground) Bodyopus (militant) Weight Loss and Recomposition. Each word is significant (Underground) means not generally known, hidden. Many techniques and shortcuts that you will learn in Bodyopus are secrets that even doctors don’t know yet. Although they’re not buried like pirate treasure, these powerful metabolic adjusters are not known to ordinary dieters and GP’s. The secrets? I happen to know all of them. I discovered many of them while solving bodybuilding problems (which I do for a living). All of these “dirty tricks” are scientifically valid and researched – no body voodoo here. The result? Supra-healthy, long-lasting, vigorous, athletic and, in my mind, beautiful bodies.
Next word: Bodyopus. Flat out, I made this word up. An “opus” is a numbered musical composition. Changing your body is more than just diet and exercise, biology and physiology. It is also body art and aesthetic decisions. What good is an ultra lean athletic body if your face looks like death sucking on a cracker? Your hair, skin, face and even (yes) toenails, are all part of your body sculpture. Let’s be realistic. Most people will be looking at those areas first, not immediately at your keester (shame on you). Bodyopus is shape, art balanced with metabolism, optimized chemistry reactions. I hope you’ll accrue enough body wisdom to understand that leaner or bigger or more impressive is not necessarily better. Bodyopus is optimized aesthetic body balance.
Militant is a word people are touchy about, but it is particularly applicable to this book. Diet and exercise should be rooted in science and biology, but they are often swayed by trends, fads and public charisma. Diets, exercise programs and even nutrients are often victims of fashion. I hope that all of the products that are touted as metabolic miracles will fulfill their claims. Unfortunately, the creation of most diet books, health foods and sports paraphernalia is not inspired by the desire for optimal health. It’s naked (and sexy) consumerism. Buy my book, my vitamin, my exercise gear. Subtext: I want your money. Oh, by the way, some of this stuff might help you out.
In Bodyopus, I’ll present techniques and chemicals (over-the-counter, prescription and non-FDA-approved) that may go against accepted public opinion, but you won’t have to break any laws. Remember, the medical profession in the United States is designed to maintain your normalcy. Optimizing your body, metabolism and health is considered quackery to the FDA-AMA status quo.
However, lean wanna-be’s there’s a complex and diverse world out there. There are exciting studies, medications and nutrients from Europe, the Orient and the Third World. You can’t totally dismiss their medical contributions as backward or ignorant. The people who live and work in these countries have the same desires and problems that we do. To disregard their scientist’s work, considering it invalid, ineffective or dangerous just because it doesn’t have an FDA blessing, is a socially repugnant attitude on a global scale.
Who is Dan Duchaine? Perhaps you are familiar with my name and what I do. Notice that I’m not an MD, and I don’t have any PhD’s either. Many athletes and news reporters call me the “Steroid Guru”. It’s a part I’ve played (and quite brazenly) on many talk shows and interviews. Stories on drugs in athletics in the American news media usually follow a good guy/bad guy/victim dramatic formula. There’s no shortage of good guys and victims. As an authority on steroid use, I take the bad guy part. I happen to be the only one who will tell the truth and play the villain. It seems that there are no grey hats, just black and white.
Steroids are now, in my mind, passe. Does that make me, the “Steroid Guru”, some pathetic throwback? I think not. I’ve created my own job description. Under “occupation”, let’s put: Human Performance Theorist.
I solve body problems, problems beyond maintenance of simple health. I work with athletes to increase muscle mass, decrease body bat, improve strength and speed recuperation. You might be surprised to know that I am apathetic toward most sports. I don’t participate or view any of them. Athletes just happen to have some interesting body problems. Bodybuilders have been especially interesting to work with because they are both technical-minded and fearless. I also work with actors and models who have a financial incentive to lose fat without destroying their salable camera-perfect-face. I’m a body doctor, but it’s not life or death, so I don’t have to do house calls. I’m a specialist and theorist, tackling situations.
What I do, I do well. Some say that I’m the best at getting results. It helps that I have no sport scruples. I delve into areas that others are too sensitive to pursue – like beating drug tests. Sports ethics are up to the athlete and his particular sport. I just fix the body problem. As you can imagine, the solution is often against the rules or philosophy of a particular sports organization. They call it immoral or unfair. So? As I said, I don’t read the sports pages in the morning newspaper. My job is to solve interesting body problems that other (sometimes more qualified) people can’t or won’t tackle.
As a result, I’m an obvious target for sport authorities. I also butt heads with the FDA, and now that steroids are Scheduled drugs, the DEA, Crotchety MD’s, the AMA and mainstream PhD researchers don’t like me either. It sure would be easier for all of them if I was just plumb crazy. Unfortunately for them, I happen to be, according to some people, brilliant and charismatic. Most of the time it’s been impossible to dismiss me as “that Duchaine crackpot” because I’m usually right. I’ve broken a few laws; I’ve never been shy in pointing that out. I’ve been in Federal prison twice so far. Am I a criminal? That depends on whom you ask. However, I’ve never lied to athletes or the public. Even the Government always got a straight answer out of me. I’ll never try to damage your health or shorten your life span. You will always get the brutal, honest truth, as I know it.
Am I believable? Sure. I have demonstrated my dedication, honesty and proficiency over the past 15 years. Like many coaches, I sometimes had to spring for groceries or hotel rooms for my athletes. I’ve helped thousands who have sent me letters. I have their trust, I think.
Bodyopus makes extraordinary demands of you. To follow it, you will need more than just perceptible results or provable science. You need trust. Accept this, and welcome to Bodyopus. The Bodyopus diet reveals how to use various thermogenics, low carbohydrate items, and drugs such as Clenbuterol to burn body fat quickly! Bodyopus also informs you how to implement exercise to your diet to burn calories faster and raise your metabolism more efficiently which will burn body fat at a quicker rate! Daniel Duchaine
Daniel Duchaine is the author of the original Underground Steroid Handbook, the Underground Steroid Handbook II, Underground Steroid Handbook Update 1992, The Best of “Ask the Guru”, the Dirty Dieting Newsletter, and the Militant Bodyopus. He has gained worldwide notoriety as the “Steroid Guru” due to his outspoken opinions on the use of performance enhancing drugs, and he has appeared on 20/20, Geraldo, the Ron Reagan Show, Now it Can Be Told, and even 60 Minutes. Duchaine is regarded as on of the most knowledgeable experts on real world facts about bodybuilding.
“I learned more about human digestive processes through this book then anywhere else. Dan goes into minute detail on what makes you grow, what makes you fat, and how to hold onto muscle as you drop weight. He spells out several diets, then he hits the big one “Ketogenisis” for the really hardcore lifters. (The bodybuilders version of the Atkins diet.) One thing I liked about Dan is that he doesn’t pull any punches and doesn’t play the PC game. For people looking for maximum gains (or loss) he tells you to use steroids, insulin and anything else you can get your hands on, in order to improve performance. I would recommend this book for anyone entering the realm of weight loss, weightlifting or improving his/her diet.” Muniwar Ali

“I get a little annoyed when I read armchair nutrition experts belittling this book and its diet.
People, get this through:
This is a book for ATHLETES, not the average couch potato.
Ketogenic diets have been around for quite some time – and given the proper application and insertion into an approach that integrates appropriate exercise and nutrition, they can really produce results. However, adherence to ketogenic diets takes strength and discipline that, quite frankly, some athletes do not possess.
As for the so-called “health risks”, I have been on this diet for some time and have witnessed a drastic lowering of bad cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat, and an increase in strength and energy that doesn’t accompany losing weight on low-fat diets. Eastern bloc athletes kicked our fannies in strength sports for decades eating like this. Our society got on the high-carb health kick, only to bear witness to the increased fattening of the nation.
Think outside the box on this one, folks. Heck, consider the source of the criticism. When was the last time you visited a physically fit doctor – the same type of doctor who decries this diet? You’ll be pleasantly surprised when you shun the establishment on this one…trust me.” E Conkling
