How fast can you lose fat?
What's the rate limiting step (i.e. what is the one thing that is
slowing the whole system down)?
How can we get around it and speed up the entire weight loss process?
It always bothered me that we're told - a good weight loss diet
could results in 2lbs of fat loss per week.
"Any more than that and you'll lose muscle".
Or a good exercise program could result in the same.
But if you had a good weight loss diet AND a good exercise program
- your results didn't double - they canceled each other out! You
would still lose "2lbs per week...".
- Diet worked.
- Exercise worked.
- But diet and exercise didn't seem to work much better.
We've all been told that 2lbs a week is the magic number... yet
there are actual scientific studies showing weight loss way higher
than that.
What about losing muscle and slowing metabolism?
Again it's another
myth. There are studies showing metabolism increases and muscle
gains on programs with intakes as low as 800 calories per day.
Is it just about calories? Nope.
There are studies showing that interval training, while burning
less calories during the session, results in a significantly
greater fat loss than a higher volume of calorie burning exercise...
There are also studies showing the same total calories burned from
weight training and cardio results in drastically different amounts
of fat loss.
So it's not just calories...
There are nutrition studies that show changing the source of
protein intake doubled the lean mass gains and increased fat lost -
without changing total calories or activity levels.
Another one showed the same thing when you changed the source of
dietary fat. Again - no change in total calories in, or activity
levels (calories out) -- but there was a pronounced reduction in
body fat.
After bringing together tons of fat loss information - both from
studies that I've read, and people that I've worked with - I came
to a conclusion:
The limit for fat loss - if it even exists - is definitely way
higher than we first thought. You can lose more than 2lbs per week.
And if we did everything right - looking for synergy between the
different components as opposed to incompatibility and canceling
each other out. - we could ramp all the processes up, and
"front-load" the program so that instead of training and dieting
for 12 weeks -- you'd get great results in 28 days.
Let's face it -- training for fat loss sucks. Dieting sucks. And we
all usually leave it until the last minute.
If you're ready to make fat loss your number one priority for the
next 28 days - check it out -- Warp Speed Fat Loss.
