Rapid Fat Loss

High-protein low carbohydrate diets are an excellent way to lose weight. Most of us consume far too much or the wrong types of carbohydrates and not enough protein. The end result is that we have become predominantly a sugar (aka carbohydrates) burning race. Our body uses three main sources of energy, fats, carbohydrates and protein. If you are consuming lots of carbs then your body will tell itself to use that as its main energy source as out of the three it finds this easiest to draw its energy from. The end result is that your metabolic rate will slow down and burn less body fat at rest, and fat loss becomes more difficult.

The solution is that you need to re teach your body to burn body fat as an energy source and you do this by depleting your carb intake and increasing your protein. This will have a twofold affect. Protein will feed your muscles thus naturally increasing your metabolic rate. This on its own will burn more body fat at rest. However the most important factor is to reduce your carbohydrate intake so your body has to use your fat reserves as and energy source.

Here is a simple meal plan

Breakfast - Porrage with skimmed milk and smoked mackerel fillet
Snack - Rhy bread and almond butter
Lunch - 2 x chicken breast with green vegetables
Snack - Protein shake
Dinner - Fish with lots of vegetables

If you are going to the gym repeating the same routines you are wasting your time! The key to seeing results is to have a progressive, dynamic and reactive fitness program. Progression is fundamental in any workout. Changing the exercises, increasing the weights, reducing rest times, or changing the sets and reps are all examples. Dynamic exercising challenges your body in multiple planes is more fun and far more effective. For me though, the most important element of fitness is to be reactive. Adapt to your energy and mood, if you can do more do more, if you are bored change or the exercise is not working do something else.

My advice is to stay away from any cardio and weights machines (if your trainer is making you run on a treadmill for 10 mins while he watches sack him/her!!!) they are boring non functional and there are better, faster and more fun ways to get into shape.
