Hey guys, I’m a guy that love to advocate nutrition, health, and weight lost. I wanted to start a small discussion about weight lost programs and what worked for you guys. I hope each person learns a little bit through this discussion and maybe be inspired to try some of these. Ill start off with my story.
Growing up I’ve been bless to be skinny. During my senior year I started to weight lift, and saw myself getting much bigger then I expected and a bit stocky with a wider frame. This made me confident but I’ve always struggled with weight lost. Even though I was skinny I have always had a stomach which never gave me the defining abs I always hoped for. After Weight lifting for 2 years, I setup a new goal for myself. That goal was to get a decent 6 pack. I accomplished this within 5 months and this is how I did it.
This is not for everyone but this maybe helpful.
My exercises consist of morning runs after a protein drink, afternoon weightlifting, and night time runs.
My Foods are
Yogurt, rice, Chicken, and eggs.
I ate 6 times a day but really what helped me lose my fat and preserve my muscle wasn’t the food but the protein shakes I ingested. As most athletes know the more cardiovascular exercises you do the more fat you burn, but on top of that the more muscle you burn as well. you must find some way to supply your body with the right amount of carbohydrates and protein so when your doing that high amount of cardiovascular exercises it doesn’t eat away your lean mussels. The way I ended up countering this was adding a high amount of protein through shakes to supplement the low carbs that I didn’t have. This resulted in my body burning fats and protein after my carbs were all used up.
Now it’s been awhile since I’ve been back to the gym. I ended with 9% body fat but now because i haven’t been to the gym for awhile now i am back to where i started with 25% body fat. I will try to do this again within the next several months and ill keep you guys posted. Hope this helps and I am also very interested reading other peoples experiences as well. Live well my friends.
