In a previous article, titled "The 6 Commandments of Fat
Burning", I shared with you 6 fat loss tips, which if followed, will
supercharge your weight loss progress. Now that you have hopefully put
the other tips into action, I present you with the other half of the
equation. By combining these commandments with those mentioned in the
previous report, your weight loss progress will be unstoppable.
1. Eat Frequently - Every time we eat meals that are high in protein, we get a small spike from our metabolism. Therefore, we should take advantage of this and eat a minimum of 6 small meals everyday. Don't ever leave it more than 3 hours before eating again and you will help to ensure that your metabolism is working at peak capacity for the entire day. The optimum time would be every 2.5 hours. Of all of the fat loss tips to perform, this is the one that must be followed every single day.
2. Only Low GI Carbs Before Gym - Never eat simple (High GI) carbohydrates before training, as you will not burn as much fat as you would like if you do. In order to prevent your insulin being spiked, eat only slow-digesting carbohydrates, such as fruit, sweet potato or rolled oats. These will provide you with the endurance that you need for your workout and won't impede your fat burning efforts.
3. Never Forget Post-Training Nutrition - It is important that you refuel your body with quality carbohydrates and protein immediately after training. You have a 1-hour window of opportunity: Never leave it longer than 1 hour. This is the one time that you can actually eat fast-digesting carbs, as your body will not store them as fat during this time. Rather, your body will soak them up almost immediately in order to begin recovering.
4. Time Your Cardio Right - In order to get the most out of your cardio training, you need to be doing it at the right time. I personally recommend my clients to never perform cardio training after they have eaten in the last 3 hours. For this reason, perform your cardio in the morning when you first wake up and never after eating any form of carbohydrate. You can however have a small amount of protein and even a coffee (no sugar or milk) beforehand.
5. Don't Overdo It - You need to train hard in order to see results. You even need to be increasing your intensity if you want to see consistent results. But don't fall into the trap over over-training. If you push your body too far, you will not burn as much fat as you would like, as your body will not be able to function as it should.
6. Glycogen - Glycogen is essentially made from carbohydrates that have not been used by your body and is stored in your muscles. When your glycogen levels are down, you are able to burn fat more easily. Every 2 weeks, eat no more than 90 grams of carbohydrates for 2 days then return to your normal diet.
By combining these fat loss tips with those covered in the previous article, which covered the first 6 commandments, you will have a comprehensive knowledge of how to lose weight. If you make these commandments a habit, you will see that achieving the body of your dreams is just a matter of repetition.
