Faster Fat Loss Why Your Limiting Your Fat Loss Results
Is your current diet and exercise program giving you the results in fat loss you are after? The fact of the matter is that there are limiting factors in your diet and exercise program that are holding you back from faster fat loss.
Let’s take a look at the factors that are holding back your true potential to lose fat at a faster rate.
Your Metabolism Is Your Diet Really Having The Right Affect?
It’s not really your metabolism that’s the problem, but rather the effect that most fat loss programs, particularly diets, have on your metabolism. What happens if you don’t consume enogh calories for an extended period of time?
No problem, the body simply causes ”bad” hormones, fat storage enzymes, and hunger to all increase while “good” hormones, metabolism, and fat burning enzymes all take a dive. Your body has now entered starvation mode.
Going on your typical fat loss diet is basically putting yourself into starvation mode. Go on a diet—any diet—and it wont be long until the body begins fighting for every ounce of your body fat. You want to lose fat; your body wants to keep it. And guess what? Your body wins every time.
Not Enough Of A Calorie Deficit
It is without a doubt a fine line between too much of a calorie deficit and not enough. There’s no getting around the fact that if you want to lose fat fast you have to create the greatest calorie balance possible.
But, you need to do it without your body shutting down and fights against your fat loss efforts ( the “starvation mode” ).
Again, it is a thin, fine line in which, almost all fat loss diets fall somewhere to the left or the right.
Most diets create a moderate calorie deficit, leading to moderate results (in the short term). Which is not neccessarily a bad thing but if you want the fastest fat loss, the deficit simply isn’t great enough.
The other side is the crash diets but the side affects of these are: A) Only small amounts of fat loss B) Your really losing mostly water weight C) Muscle loss D) Your detroying your metabolism E) You will quickly regain any weight you lost (but check the list you didn’t lose very much fat at all) and then some.
Your Diet and Exercise Program Do They Work Together?
Most people pick a diet and exercise program, without considering whether they work together or if they don’t provide any additional benefit to one another. Unfortunately many people are stuck because of damaged metabolisms and for reasons we’ve talked about.
When diet and exercise team up to achieve a greater result than the additive effect of either of them alone. That’s synergy—when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Your Losing Muscle Not Fat
99% of so called fat loss diets result in a significant amount of muscle loss. And there are consequences to pay for muscle loss. Losing muscle is not going to give you the look in your body composition you want. Yes you are losing weight (according to your scale) but remember there is a difference between weight loss and fat loss.
Have you ever seen someone that has that skinny but fat look. what I mean is they aren’t fat per say but they have no muscle tone and there body still has that soft “pudgy” look but they aren’t really fat per say? That’s what happens when you lose muscle.
If you just want to be “thin” while still hiding behind your clothes because you’re not 100% proud of your body, then losing muscle is the way to go. Losing muscle = decreased metabolism. Muscle burns calories at rest; it’s the fuel that keeps your metabolism going full blast. When you lose muscle as you diet, not only does it slow your week to week progress by decreasing overall metabolism, but it also sets you up to easily and quickly gain back lost weight as a result of the decrease in metabolism over time.
A “smaller” version of the same body, decreased week to week progress, and long-term metabolism issues? I don’t know about you but I say Thanks But No Thanks!!
“Extreme” methods like fasting CAN work in the short term to create massive calorie deficits.
Strategic “Cheat Days” in which you indulge your most intense cravings and purposefully abandon your diet can be used to offset the adaptations to extreme dieting.
Strategically timed workouts when the body is most primed to burn fat and others when the body is extremely receptive to build muscle CAN allow you to achieve both simultaneously.
Nutrient timing and strategic nutrient manipulation can literally put your body in any “state” you want it to be in, for whatever purpose you want it to be there, at any time.
Combine ALL of these methods, and a LOT more—each at the most strategic position within a radical 5-day cycle in which every single workout, every single day of the diet, and every single combination of each come together to create a fat loss result exponentially greater than any one of them ever could alone or in any other sequence.
That, my friends, is strategic synergy. When you learn how to unlock the right methods in the right combination in the right sequence, the strategic, synergistic results are profound.
