10 Fatloss Questions You Should Be Asking Part 1

[ Note: I like this post from Jon Benson. I think you will like it too. ]

There’s stuff you know.

Then there’s stuff you don’t know.

But the key to success in anything is the discovery of one other variable:

The things you don’t know you don’t know.

Think about that.

So many people ask me questions like…

– How can I get rid of my stubborn bodyfat?
– How fast can I do it?
– What’s the best dietplan for me?

These are good questions, don’t get me wrong.

But there are at least 10 questions most people never know to ask.

It’s the stuff they didn’t know they didn’t know… make sense?

Today we’ll cover 3 of the 10…

HIDDEN QUESTION 1:
“What’s The Best Dietary-Fat To Eat To Get Rid Of Bodyfat?”

Sounds nutty, doesn’t it?

The media loves to deceive you when it comes to dietary fats… and I’m here to set the record straight:

You absolutely must consume dietary fat in order to burn-off your bodyfat.

There’s an old saying: “Fat burns…but in the presence of dietary-fat.”

It’s true.

There are actually two “Best Fats” you should be eating:

Coconut Oil
CLA

Coconut oil is ideal to cook with. Use that in place of all the starchy foods you may be eating. You’ll get leaner faster… and you’ll be a ton more healthy too.

Coconut oil keeps you satisfied longer, lubricates your joints, and yes… actually helps you get rid of stubborn bodyfat.

Use 1 tablespoon per 50 lbs per day, but be sure to decrease your starchy carbs (breads, rice, potatoes, etc.)

CLA is a form of (gasp!) transfat… but it’s a healthy form that helps your body get rid of bodyfat. You can only get it in supplement-form… well, that’s the best way.

I personally take 4 grams per day. Jarrow is my favorite brand. You can get it at most health food stores.

I cover several other fats you need to eat in my video and book, found here:

HIDDEN QUESTION 2:
“Why Is Cardio Bad For Me?”

Okay… that’s an over-statement. It’s not ‘bad’ for you… it’s just not nearly as ‘good’ for you as the media and magazines want you to believe.

Especially if you do it the way they suggest: Too long, too frequently.

Do it the way I suggest and watch what happens.

First, spend 80% of your exercise time doing ‘resistance’ training, not cardio… but rest very brief between sets.

My newest update to “7 Minute Muscle” is called “7 Minute Body”. It combines both “7 Minute Muscle” and an additional 100 or so pages of in-home ONLY workouts.

That way you can train in the gym… or in your home… and get it done in 7 to 14 minutes a day. Done!

You will be shaping your body and burning-off some major calories at the same time… all without boring cardio.

Then when you “do” cardio, do it the way I detail in “7 Minute Body”… use the 9-minute GXP Cardio Workout.

Add simple walking to this several days a week and your cardio is set.

GXP works because it is progressive and does not over-tax the recovery system. You warm up, then hit about 85% of your max effort, then cool down.

But the key is ‘when’ to do it… and that’s covered in my book.

I still enjoy sitting on my bike and watching TV, but I do that just to burn-off those last bits of bodyfat. Most of you do not need to do this.

It’s a waste of time for the masses… but resistance training is not.

Oh, one more thing: Runners have a far higher degree of heart attacks than non-runners. So cardio ‘can’ be bad for you if you over-do it.

NOTE: You can pick up “7 Minute Body” at 77% off…
but only if you get EODD…

HIDDEN QUESTION 3:
“How Does Pizza Help Me Shed Bodyfat?”

Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

Think again.

My dietary plan not only “lets” you eat pizza (or whatever your favorite foods might be) every week, several times a week… it DEMANDS that you do it.

What the…. ?

Yep. Here’s why.

First, I have you eat less on certain days and certain times. If done the way I suggest your metabolism (the rate you use fat, energy, etc.) will not slow down that much.

Then… at a specific time… boom! You eat a lot more food… and the best way to do this is eating your favorite foods.

First, they usually have more calories.. duh! Second, you’ll ENJOY the freakin’ process! Most “diets” fail because people hate them… too restrictive.

So I created my System from the ground up to ensure I never got bored with my eating… and the extra cals from pizza (or my favorite… Mexican… or Key Lime Pie… yum) actually boosts my metabolism sky-high.

Here’s an example:

Last week I ate the normal Every Other Day Diet-way… for me it’s the “Extreme Plan” (there are 4 Plans, each for different goals.)

So, after several days of lower-cal, lower-carb eating, I ate about 5000 calories of Mexican food (so good!) But the TIMING is crucial. You just can wing it. Don’t worry… I tell you exactly when to do it.

The next morning I saw more of my abs.

I went back to EODD-style eating, which I love btw… and then later had some Key Lime Pie… and what do you know? Leaner the next day.

Now I’m doing this as I “peak” — I have to be in top shape in December. The only time I stop this is 4 weeks prior to a photoshoot… but unless you want to be 5% bodyfat (and you probably do not) you never have to stop it.

Works like a charm.

The Wendy’s fast food chain is 40 years old and there are over 6000 stores across the country. It is obviously a popular chain and people eat there regularly because they know what sort of food they are getting and they know that they can get the food quickly.

However, we are living in a society where people are becoming more and more health conscious. People want to know more nutritional information about what they are eating. With Wendy’s, there are three places that you can go to get more information about Wendy’s products and their nutritional value.

These days we are facing an obesity epidemic in society. There are more and more people who are overweight. Some studies suggest 2/3 of adults in western society are overweight. As such it is important to make sure that you take note of your nutritional intake. If you are going to eat fast food, then you need to make sure that you are informed about what you are eating.

Nutrition Supplements

There is a lot of debate about nutrition supplements, vitamins and minerals. The debate centers around whether they are necessary for a healthy diet. This is a complex answer. The answer is yes, and no. If you have the time to fully check your diet and spend a lot of time cooking and preparing meals, then you will probably not need nutrition supplements. However, if you are like the rest of us, busy in our hectic society, then you will benefit from taking nutritional supplements.

In this article, I have outlined three supplements you could consider taking to improve your health and improve your life:

Protein for muscle growth- After you exercise, you should consider taking a protein supplement. Protein is important for muscle growth and regeneration. This can help you build muscle if you are lifting weights but it also makes sure that you are less likely to get injured.

Vitamins to keep you healthy- You also need to make sure that you take vitamin supplements. Supplements are important because they help boost your immune system and ensure that you do not get sick. If you are living a hectic lifestyle, obviously you do not want to get sick so make sure that you get your vitamin supplements.

Calcium for strong bones- You should also make sure that you take calcium supplements to make sure that you have, and keep strong bones. You don’t want to risk breaking a bone if you fall over so should do all that you can to make sure that your bones remain strong.

With the hectic lives that we all find ourselves leading these days, it is important to ensure that you do what you can to stay healthy. For most people, nutrition supplements, vitamins and minerals are important because they can ensure that you get your body all of the nutrients that it’s needs to function properly.

Nutrition And Exercise

You have probably heard it a million times before – in order to lose weight, you need to combine a healthy diet with exercise. If you did a search on the Internet, you would find many people that are saying this but many of them do not explain very well why this is so.

Let’s review why nutrition is the fundamental to physical performance. Below I will outline to you how a healthy and nutritious diet is related to exercise and how combining both means that you will be able to more effectively lose weight.

Protein helps with muscle building and regeneration- A healthy and nutritious diet is one that is high in protein. Protein is important because it helps with muscle growth and regeneration. This is important because it helps ensure that you don’t get injured after exercise. A high protein diet can also help build your muscles and if you increase your muscle mass then you can actually lose weight faster.

Carbohydrates help increase energy- Carbohydrates are also important for health and nutrition. Carbohydrates increase your energy production, which means that you can do cardiovascular exercise for longer. If you can do cardiovascular exercise for longer then you will get fitter faster. This can only be good for your health.

Exercise helps burn calories- The basic premise of exercise and losing weight is to make sure that you burn more calories in your day than you ingest each day. Exercise is important because it is through exercise that you burn more calories and hence lose weight. You need to lift weights and do cardiovascular exercise routines as part of your weekly exercise.

The purpose of this article was to show you how health and nutrition are related to exercise. You need to burn more calories than you eat but you also need a healthy diet to give you the energy you need and also to ensure that your muscles grow and you do not get injured. Nutrition is all you’ll ever need to get the body you want.
