Work the Principles

You have heard me say it before that fat loss is simple. I also say that it is not easy. Knowing that it is simple but not easy makes it easier. Does that make sense?



Follow these principles for fat loss and you are guaranteed results.



1. Create a calorie deficit.

You must use more energy than you take in to lose fat. There is no way around this. You can do this by eating less, spending more or a combination of both. I suggest a combo approach.

You need to know how many calories you are currently eating. Then subtract between 250 and 500 per day. Coupled with an increased expenditure through exercise, you will be golden.



2. Perform whole body workouts at least 3x per week.

Full body workout routines are more efficient and also cut down on injuries as you are not working some muscles several days in a row as in many split routines. Focus on large compound moves. They burn lots of calories because so many muscles are being used and add in incomplete rest periods and your metabolism will be boosted for many hours after the workout.



3. Eat whole, natural foods.

Try as much as possible to stay away from packaged, processed foods. Stick to the basics; lean meat, fruits, vegetables and nuts. Foods that have few ingredients are the ones that will transform your body.



4. Do interval cardio.
Science has proven that interval cardio is more effective at fat loss than traditional cardio. It is more efficient and the risk of injury is lower. It takes half the time of regular long slow cardio and you get better results. Whats not to like?


There you have it, my fat loss principles. They are all basic and the basics are what work every time. The principles work if you work the principles.

Why I have been away...

I have been absent for the last several weeks. I have been getting a fat loss program together that will be released soon. I decided to write all my methods out because so many people were asking me what they should do to lose their belly fat and get the six pack they want.





Since I am a husband and father of two little ones, I wrote the program for busy guys everywhere. My program will help you crush all of the lame excuses you have for not working out and why you have let yourself get so out of shape.





- I don't have time





- I don't belong to a gym





- I have a wife, a kid or a job or whatever








Blah blah blah, I have heard it ll before. When you get tired of looking at your gut in the mirror, you will get off the couch and get moving!

How important is workout intensity for fat loss?

You see people all the time in gyms doing the same things day after day, week after week and not changing. They lift the same weight, walk at the same speed on the treadmill, or the worst sit on the bike and read the latest 'entertainment magazine' . What a waste of a life!

Your body will never change unless you give it a reason to do so. If you constantly lift the same weights, you will continue to look the same. How do we fix this?

Intensity is the key to changing you body and ultimately, losing body fat. Using more weight though is not the only manner in which to up your intensity. Here are a few other methods.

Take shorter rest periods

Lift faster

Lift slower

Do the same amount of work in less time

Go farther, faster

Use super sets and tri sets

These are just a few of the variables you can manipulate to up your intensity. The bottom line on this is that nothing will change unless you change things. Your body is not going to change into a sexy lean physique until you give it a reason to, so up the intensity and see your results speed up.
