Day 1 – Eating to
get ripped
The next time you go
into a gym take a look around. Muscular pecs
and biceps are a dime a dozen. But how many
tight and trim midsections are on display?
How many physiques sport the washboard abs
look? Not many we assure you. It’s one thing
to develop muscle mass, but something
entirely different to keep the body free of
fat so your hard-earned musculature can be
seen.
So you want to get
ripped? Here’s how.
Timing
How does the typical
North American eat? They skip breakfast,
grab a small lunch on the run, and then have
a huge supper. This is the worst way to eat
as not only are you not taking in
muscle-building nutrients on a regular basis
but you’re going long periods without eating
anything. As soon as the body goes more than
three or four hours without food it assumes
it’s in a starvation mode and these millions
of years’ old storage mechanisms kick in. As
soon as you do eat, much of the nutrients
will be stored as fat. The way to bypass
this is to eat small meals every two to
three hours. This keeps those storage
mechanisms shut off and most of the
nutrients will go to your muscles not your
waist!
Reduce
carbs
Unless you’re a
marathon runner or tri athlete, keep your
carbohydrate intake moderate. Many food
guides suggest that carbs should make up 60
to 70 percent of your diet. We think this is
too high. Excessive carbs that are not
burned will be stored as fat. In addition
excessive carbs cause massive insulin
release. Insulin is a hormone that
transports nutrients around the body. It can
also be called a storage hormone because it
increases the rate at which excess calories
are stored as fat. Keep your carb intake to
no more than 40 to 50 percent of your diet.
Drink lots of
water
Do you know that it
takes approximately 50 calories to warm a
glass of cold water up to body temperature?
Drink 8 to 10 glasses per day and you’ll
burn an extra 400 to 500 calories every day.
Every 7 days is 3500 calories or one pound
of fat! That’s 4 pounds per month or 48
pounds per year! Now do you see why most
fat-loss programs recommend drinking lots of
water? Instead of reaching for the
high-caloried sports’ drink or worse, soda
pop, grab that bottle of
H2O.
Reduce calories
carefully
While loosing fat will
probably require some degree of calorie
reduction, do it gradually. As soon as you
start reducing calories the body will slow
down its metabolism as it thinks it’s
entering that previously discussed state of
starvation. And worse, cut your calories to
drastic and your body may start burning
protein (in the form of muscle tissue) as a
fuel source. The last thing you want is to
start losing your hard-earned muscle. To
keep the body from going into this
muscle-wasting, catabolic state, only cut
250 to 300 calories from your diet every
day. This will also keep the body from
slowing down its
metabolism.
Reduce junk
food
If we had our way junk
food would be outlawed. If you’re serious
about building a muscular, fat-free body,
you must clear your cupboards and fridge of
any chocolate bars, potato chips, soft
drinks, fried foods, and other high-fat and
high-sugar foods. If you want to treat
yourself once a week with a candy bar or
small piece of cake, fine. But don’t live on
the stuff.
