The Low Fat Lie – Why You Must Eat Fat To Lose Fat

November 2, 2009 By admin 5 Comments

Hey! I hope you’re having a great time getting in shape, burning away that body fat and generally living life to it’s fullest. Today I want to share with you another video that I recently recorded that busts a commonly accepted diet myth way out of the water. It’s one of those widely accepted ‘truths’ that really are just complete nonsense, and as you know, I’m on a mission to read the world of all of the lies and untruths that we are fed about fat loss. So without further ado, here is my take on one of the biggest myths around – the idea that you have to eat a low fat diet if you don’t want to be fat, which is simply not true! As you can see from my argument in the video, you do NOT have to avoid dietary fat if you are trying to lose fat. It’s an unfortunate thing that a valuable macronutrient and an undesirable body state, have the same name, but that’s about all they have to do with each other. Yes, it’s true that dietary fat has more calories, but it’s also tremendously beneficial for your body to function and more importantly, it has not been shown that eating fat makes you fat! Honestly, take a look at our society today. We have more people than ever eating low fat diets and yet we are fatter than we have ever been! The real enemy when it comes to weight gain is starchy, processed carbs. Cut those out and leave the healthy fats in. You’ll be glad you did! Oh, and here’s a list of healthy fats for you to incorporate into your diet:

Nuts
Seeds
Saturated fats in lean meat such as beef and chicken
Avocados
Olive, peanut, coconut and macadamia nut oils
Fish oil

Start getting those into your diet today! And if you’re looking for a great diet and exercise plan that gives you EXACT directions that you need to follow to lose fat quickly, I highly recommend that you check out Warp Speed Fat Loss. Not only do you get a complete meal plan, so that you know exactly what to buy, cook, and eat for every single meal for an entire month, but you also get all your fat loss workout plans written for you by the world’s top fat loss expert.

Nutrient Timing – The ONLY Times To Eat Carbs If You Want To Lose Fat

September 18, 2009 By admin 9 Comments

One of the trickiest aspects of losing fat is knowing how to manipulate carbs the RIGHT way in your diet.

And that means that not only do you need to know the right kind of carbs to eat, but you also need to know the right time to eat them.

Last week we talked about the right kind of carbs, so this week I want to talk more about when to eat them – otherwise known as nutrient timing.

Check out the video below where I spill the beans about it all:

So there you go.

If you want to lose fat, you must restrict carbs to ONLY those two times during the day:

First thing in the morning
Immediately after a workout

Give this a try in your diet and watch how great the results are.

This is a huge secret to fat loss that very few people know, yet it is devastatingly effective. I hope you enjoy it!

Feel free to leave your comments and questions below.

Take care,

Yudi

Everyone knows that you need to cut those refined and processed white carbs out of your die if you want to lose fat.

In this video I share:

What exactly ‘refined’ carbs are and why they are so bad for you

How To Lose Fat By Raising Your Metabolism (With Tali The Dog)

August 19, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Ok, so you’ve been spending a bunch of time in the gym busting your butt working out.

You’ve been working out like an animal, and you feel like you’re really putting some hard work into getting the body you want.

And yet, you’re just NOT seeing the changes you want in your body. ARGH! SO FRUSTRATING!!!

If that describes how you feel, it’s VERY important that you check out this post and video, because they will show you the secret that you’re missing that’s stopping you from getting results.

In fact, it’s so important that I managed to get everybody’s favorite internet fitness dog Tali to get on camera with me to talk to you about it.

And you should know that Tali is VERY busy, she usually can’t fit activities like this into her schedule. She’s far too busy sleeping, chewing on her bone and trying to steal human food. So this info MUST be good!

Check out the video below to find out:

Why you have the wrong approach to fat loss if you’re trying to burn calories during your workouts
Why you MUST always think about the OTHER 23 hours of the day
Why you shouldn’t hop on the treadmill when you’re trying to lose fat
The key components to keeping your metabolism high all day long
What it sounds like when Tali yawns (listen closely at 1:44 in the video)

It’s as simple as that guys.

All of the progress you make in your fat loss journey comes from keeping your metabolism high around the clock, not just for 30 minutes while you’re working out.

I’ll be back soon with more videos about different strategies you can use to keep that metabolism revving all day and all night long. Until then, leave me a comment to let me know what you think. Or if you don’t want to leave ME a comment, at least leave one for Tali. She reads and replies to every single one.

Take care,

Yudi

The Calorie Restriction Diet – Is It All Just Hype?

June 23, 2009 By admin 4 Comments

Calorie restriction diet

The idea of eating low calorie diets to lose weight is nothing new. Millions of people are convinced that all they need to do is starve themselves and the pounds will melt off. As if this wasn’t bad enough, a few pieces of new research that have come out in the last few years have made things even worse.

The Most Hyped Diet Study Ever?

You see, a recent laboratory study indicated that rats who were fed a very low calorie diet lived longer than rats who ate normal diets. Interesting findings, for sure, but not quite worthy of the huge generalizations that were made as a result, with scientists proclaiming the idea that the same principle would apply to humans.

Suddenly, all kinds of magazines and mainstream media have been telling people that the secret fountain of youth is to live on a calorie restricted diet, causing even MORE people to start eating less food, hoping to lose weight and turn back the clock in the process.

The problem here is that people are getting caught up in the hype and missing the big picture. Sure, the rats who ate less lived longer. But that doesn’t mean that eating low calorie diets is a good option.

Where’s The Proof?

Firstly, there’s no proof to say that the same phenomenon occurs in humans.

I’ve recently seen some popular talk shows that brought on a couple of people who claimed to have achieved amazing results with this diet – but what no one mentioned was the fact that these were just two guys (not exactly a huge sample size) and they both had terrible diet and exercise habits before switching over to their low calorie diets.

stuffing his face

So there’s no proof that these positive changes they’ve been experiencing have anything to do with low calorie diets – it could just as easily be the transition from living a lazy lifestyle to living a healthy lifestyle!

Just How Low Are We Talking?

Another point that nobody notices is that most of these people are eating diets that are only moderately low in calories, not severely low. For example, on one recent major TV show, both of the guys who were featured as low-calorie adherents casually mentioned during their interview that they take in 1950 calories a day.

Now 1950 calories is not a lot for a man, but it’s also not ridiculously low either. The problem is that many people won’t realize this point and will think that low calorie diets require them to essentially become anorexic and barely eat all day long.

Living Longer = Living Inactive?

Lastly, even if calorie restriction does help you live longer, you’ll likely be spending those extra years inactive and nursing some disease or disability.

Restricting your calories without proper design and modified exercise can lead to lower bone density, nutrient deficiencies and a lack of the essential fats that are crucial for cognitive and physiological function.

calorie restriction diet

You could very well be more at risk of developing osteoporosis and other debilitating diseases usually correlated with aging – and the research has not yet been done long term to show that this won’t happen when severe calorie restrictions are placed on the human diet.

The Honest Truth About How Long You’ll Live

We all know those people who smoke, drank and ate terribly their whole life and lived to their late 90s, and we also all know someone who was the consummate health nut and died young.

old-guy-smoking-cigar

Life span is a product of genetics, lifestyle, medical treatment, preventive healthcare, mental state and a whole host of other factors. To say that prolonging life is all about restricting calories is misguided and frankly unproven.

The Bottom Line

I could go on and on about all the negative aspects of low calorie diets but instead of doing that I’m just going to tell you this – you do NOT need to severely restrict your calories to lose weight.

If your calories are too low you will miss out on essential nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants that your body needs, and you also run the risk of losing bone density and running low on mental and physical energy which is unsustainable and will come back to bite you big time in the long run.

If you want to lose fat, keep your diet clean and get in more exercise! When possible, you should always increase your physical activity before lowering your caloric intake when you’re trying to lose fat. I’d much rather have you get all the nutrients you need and have to work out a little more to keep your fat in check as opposed to having you run short on valuable nutrients for your body while losing weight. The former approach is a MUCH better one for long term health, wellbeing, and body composition.

Final Thought

In this blog post I’ve laid out all the reasons why I don’t buy into the calorie restricted diet hype.

But having said that, I understand that you might still want to try it and hey, it might suit you well. So go ahead and try it out for a while if you want and see if it’s for you. But do it intelligently and don’t just run after what you see on TV, blindly believing it to be the truth.

Think, discover, explore and test it for yourself. That’s always the process you should follow when it comes to health, fitness and wellbeing.

How To Get Rid Of Your Muffin Top / Love Handles

April 8, 2009 By admin 2 Comments

Last week we talked about how to get rid of fat in your problem areas. This week I want to take you beyond the ‘theory’ of how to do it and actually show you how you should eat and work out to get rid of a common problem area that people often ask me about – muffin tops (a.k.a love handles)

How To Fix ‘Problem Areas’ And Lose Fat From Your Whole Body At The Same Time

April 3, 2009 By admin 1 Comment

I get a lot of questions asking me about how to lose fat from particular areas of the body.

Some people want to lose belly fat, others want to get rid of their saggy arms or cottage cheese thighs. Some even want to get rid of their double chin.

And that’s only natural because we all have ‘problem areas’ that we’d love to get rid of more than anything else.

My first response when people ask me how to lose fat from a particular body part is:

The Magic Formula For Fat Burning: The Secret Sauce That You Need To Add To Your Workouts To Keep Burning Fat For 48 Hours Or More After You’re Finished Exercising

March 26, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

The Magic Fat Loss Formula

Everyone is always searching for that elusive secret that will allow them to magically get thin without having to do any work for it. The idea of magically tricking your body into losing fat is one that has entranced our generation, with millions spent in research every year trying to find that secret formula.

If you ask me, all of this is a futile cause that will never amount to anything. Because in life, you can’t ever get something for nothing. That’s just not how it works. That’s why all of those get rich quick schemes and fat loss supplements that constantly flood the market will always be nothing more than a scam – because it simply isn’t possible to achieve long-lasting, meaningful success without putting in the hard work to make it happen. Even the most successful people in the world who now spend their days just kicking back while the cash flows in will tell you that they only got to that point through sheer hard work and sweat equity.

Now, with that being said, I do believe in finding ways to leverage your effort so that it takes the least possible amount of that effort to produce results. The fact that you’ll have to put in the work is a given, but ideally we want to make that work as efficient and effective as possible so that it gets us to the end goal with the fewest possible hiccups.

And this is where it gets interesting for fat loss.

Because while you can’t ever lose fat without putting in some kind of effort or willpower or action, you can leverage this effort to make your fat loss MUCH easier.

It’s a little secret that only the best personal trainers and the most ‘in-shape’ people in the world know, and once you make this change to your own workouts, you’ll find that fat burning is easier than it’s ever been before.

Are Weight Loss & Fat Loss The Same Thing?

Yesterday, we spoke about weight loss and the various theories that underpin how to do it successfully. However, there was one key point that we neglected to mention – the distinction between losing weight and losing fat.

What? You mean you didn’t know there was a distinction?

Well, there is. And it’s a big one.
