Your Body for Fat Loss
Fuel Your Body for Fat Loss
Many individuals cut calories too
drastically in an attempt to drop fat quickly. Unfortunately,
these same individuals are often depriving their bodies
of important nutrients for overall health and physical
fitness. They're taking in less food and as a result
less vitamins and minerals along with that food.
Remember that the importance of supplementing
intelligently becomes magnified when you're on a reduced
calorie program.
For example, a massive study of over
25,000 individuals conducted by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture clearly demonstrated that well over half
of the women who cut their fat intake below 30% of total
calories did not get enough (RDA) vitamin A, vitamin
E, folic acid, calcium, iron, and zinc.
These are key nutrients which should not be sacrificed
for the sake of a low-fat diet.
The solution is simple: try to eat
a well-rounded diet by not cutting fat intake too drastically
and supplement with quality multi-vitamins
and extra
antioxidants.
Note: those who
use Meal Replacement Powders (MRPs) and/or Sports Nutrition
Bars as part of their program are much less likely to
deprive themselves of these key nutrients because both
are usually fortified with extra vitamins and minerals.
Use Variation to Intensify Your Progress
Have your fat reduction efforts reached
a plateau. It may be time to put the principle of Variation
to work for you.
The body is incredibly adaptive and
resourceful when it comes to adjusting to any program
geared at fat loss; in a word it's downright stubborn.
The only intelligent way to combat
this resourcefulness is to constantly change things
up in your program, to get variation into it and not
allow the body to become 'comfortable' and readjust
set-points.
In other words, if you've been doing
40 minutes of cardio work 4 times per week for the past
three months, then you may have made some great initial
progress, but it's not uncommon for the rate of progress
to eventually slow or stagnate altogether.
Your body has become used to this
training and it's no longer having as dramatic an effect.
The solution is to mix things up by:
- increasing intensity (go to level 7 rather than
level 4)
- breaking the routine (take a week off from cardio
work, or shift to two 60 minute sessions, or five
20 minute sessions).
- Change your routine to anyway you like, but CHANGE
IT!
You should also try to apply Variation to your diet
and supplement programs as well. Cycle your calorie
intake, your carb intake, your protein intake, or all
three.
If you've been using an ECA Stack for a while and
results have slowed, vary things up by shifting to
Metabolic Thyrolean and/or
L-Glutamine for 3-4 weeks. Then go back to the ECA
Stack and watch the results you get!
The bottom line rule is if you've hit a sticking point
or plateau, the last thing you want to do is what you've
been doing. Drop the routine and start making progress
again.
