Fat Loss: 3 quick and easy steps!

For ALL of you currently on the journey to lose the extra fat that you’ve collected over the years… I’m also in the process of shedding some of the excess blubber. Despite the fact that I’m fairly lean at the moment, we all have our aspirations and an ideal image of what we want to look at. That goes for me as well.

So a not so long 14 weeks ago, I had been enjoying my “off-season” bulking phase with all the good foods I love.  But now it’s time to trim down a bit and get the sought after 6 pack back. I’m still not COMPLETELY to my goal yet, but I’m getting closer each day.

As I’ve progressed over the last few weeks, I’ve gotten a LOT of questions about what I’m doing to get ripped and achieve such quick fat loss results. People accuse me of taking fat burners all the time, or they ask me how much I run.

Best part, I don’t do EITHER!!    >=]   Muahhh haa haaa!  <—-  Evil laugh

So here’s me before my fat loss journey:

Now that you can see how soft I was and the little belly I was toting around…  I’ll give you 3 of the most IMPORTANT rules of thumb I follow day in and day out to make my goal of getting a shredded six pack SO much easier.

So enough with the fluff. =)    Let’s get straight to some of my fat loss SECRETS

Fat Loss secrets the stars would die for!

TIP # 1

• Try to avoid long-duration high-intensity cardio exercises at all costs! As I mentioned before, I do NOT run.  Try keeping the heart rate around 120 beats per minute. The higher your heart rate climbs, the less body fat you actually utilize for energy.

TIP # 2

• When doing resistance training/weight lifting… Do a set of “Mountain Climbers” in between each set. This is a great exercise for maximizing the calories you burn doing a weight training session.

TIP # 3

• Eat 5-6 meals per day. This doesn’t just mean eat something 5 to 6 times per day. By 5-6 meals… I actually mean “meals.”  A good solid portion of protein(lean meat, fish or protein shakes) should be a staple every single time you eat. For the first half of the day, consume a complex carb (brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, quinoa, ect…) with each meal as well. The rest of your meals for the day should consist of both a lean source of protein AND a green vegetable.

So there you go!  Make a habit to incorporate these tips each day and start to feel the clothes getting loser every single week.
