Hey Fatty.
One thing to keep in mind, is you will be dropping both body fat and water.
The way I look at it, yes you have inordinate amount of body fat.
But you are also storing too much water in your muscle and fat.
Sweat it out, and don’t put it back.
So along with caloric loss, turning into fat losses, plan to lose water over the course of the time.
One way to make sure your losing water, is to measure how much water you take in.
Water is 1lb for 16 oz.
And know how much water you lose.
Scale weight lost in a day is mostly water.
For me, the example was:
1hr of cardio with full clothing dropped 4LB of water.
I was drinking about 90 oz of fluids daily. Drop that down to 64 oz or so of fluids and you easily can drop 1LB a day in fluid.
Its probably not safe for the long haul, but for the short term when you know your packed full of water and fat, you can drop it quick.
I wear sweat suit and a hat to get that water out fast.
Don’t eat alot of sodium. It causes your body to retain water.
Measure your food intakes, and get enough fat.
Don’t trip on losing muscle vs losing fat.
I have a different theory on that than most. Just make sure you eat enough.
If your fat, you will not burn muscle.[/quote]
^^ check out John Berardi’s opinion on the burning fat vs muscle this is not a “different theory”
OP: eat PLENTY of sodium just not in the form of processed foods add sea salt to everything, read scott abel’s article, you will have much better workouts and sodium does not affect fat loss.
cut your carbs to peri and post workout only (i.e., 1 serving of Surge split up)
do A TON of cardio as in 1 hour per day
eat assloads of green veggies, no starches (maybe once a week is ok)
eat low carb nuts, seeds, oils, fish oil
obviously plenty of protein is a must but don’t go over too much or you’ll start using it as fuel.
micro manage training and diet only when you get to around 12-15% bodyfat.
My woman is already complaining that I should take a shower instead of writing this post. So, since I don’t want to get the short end of the stick tonight, I’ll comply.
