I just wanted to say thanks for reading this , the reason I
thank you is that people like you ask GREAT questions…… those
who don’t read them seem to ask questions but seem to expect a
different answer each time. What’s known as an ASKHOLE!
When it comes to getting the energy you desire, improving your self
esteem and ultimately doing what you want with your body, there is no need to re-invent
the wheel.
Sure there are some ninja tricks you can do.
BUT whilst people worry about what supplement they are taking and
still eat cornflakes and others worry about how many sets and reps they are doing when
they still do that really weird exercise for the for the inner thigh as one of their main exercises!
There are then those who GET IT!
I had an awesome email from a dude, Sid is his name.
“I am happy with my weight, just want to lose it from certain areas”
Now I haven’t got a hidden camera in Sid’s house but I thought I
would send you over 4 tips to help…coz I bet there are others
thinking the same.
1. Start lifting weights- using your own to start with, then
resistance bands, dumbbells etc….yes I know Sid is a dude, but
ladies reading this too….it goes for you as well! You WILL NOT
get bulky, you WILL lose body fat. The effect of increasing
resistance and time under tension results in a hormonal shift that
will optimise fat burning during your recovery for far longer than
a long slog on the cross trainer ever will! That is a fact!
By the way don’t let me here you use the “Fat Burning Zone”
words…..it’s otherwise known as the ” I am comfortable here” zone
which = POOR RESULTS
2. Reduce added sugar- in particular in processed foods (not rocket
science). With that if you use your natural sugars (fruit etc) just
after exercise this will help optimise blood sugar levels. Added
sugar is a killer for testosterone as it leads to an insulin spike
which is associated with increased oestrogen….remember oestrogen
cells like to store body fat! So stop snacking on glucose all day!
Proteins and fats are good snacks if you need them.
3. Protein– not the atkins style, but make sure you consume
protein in your first main meal of the morning. If you train, its
better to eat after, but it comes down to personal preference.
Protein comes in your lean meat, eggs, fish, protein powder and a
certain amount in nuts and seeds etc.
4. Go GREEN- yep cruciferous veggies such as broccoli, kale,
spinach, sprouts all contain a substance known as indole-3-carbinol
which helps by binding to oestrogen’s and the liver metabolises the
fats. I ran a trial on this, it worked a treat with my clients. If
you are pushed for time like me in the mornings or can’t be
bothered with washing up (like me) then I can highly recommend Lean
Greens as a perfect solution.
So, not a dissertation by any means but 4 simple tips that you can
introduce if you want to start shifting body fat from the back of
your arms, outside of the hips, stomach or if you like your beer
(which is highly oestrogenic ) and you are a dude like Sid ( i don’t
know if Sid does like beer) then this will help reduce man boobs!
By the way, if you want to know more about exactly how you can
get in control and start making progress with your health and fitness
then feel free to check out our latest Online Fitness Camp that can be
done from home. It starts Monday, but only do it if you want to change.
