The questions in the FLR Quiz are directly relevant to your success losing bodyfat, and they come directly from my ebook Fat Loss Revealed. They are directly relevant to the “real world” knowledge required to obtain your goals along the continuum discussed in the article “Knowledge is Power.” The quiz is not very long, but gives a solid sample of what people should know if they wish to be informed and educated about nutrition and supplements as it applies to the goals listed in the continuum, such as losing fat, improving performance, etc. Take note, I have put these quizzes on my forums and most members could answer most of them, so they are not designed to simply make people feel ignorant. They are designed to be challenging, and let people test their knowledge of the topic; topics which will ultimately help them obtain their goals. Are you ready? The answer key is at the end after the quiz so you can score yourself!

    hey Will
    im reading of late that saturated fats are ok for fat loss like butter, coconut oil and fat from meats etc. even the poliquin centres encourage taking butter etc. . . . pls clarify. thanks.

    Hey Will, I have a suggestion to make – those acronyms / abbreviations really puzzle people who have read the eBook a while back and hence defeats the purpose of the quiz. Suggestion – give some back ground to take out the concept / knowledge required; than to test someone’s mental retention power. Thx!! -AJ
