RE: 13 WEEKS TO 6 PACK ABS - DAY TWO
I agree with most of your rules. However it has to be mentioned that there are different types of diets that work for different types of people.
Not everyone is going to find this as the perfect diet. In fact FASTING is a great way to lose fat because, yes you will release cortisol and you will be in a catabolic state, however during that time the body will turn to fat oxidation to obtain energy. Then when you break the fast the body will turn into an anabolic state.
The diet that you propose is in my opinion and experience great to gain weight, as you need to feed the body constantly to stay in a anabolic state and in a positive nitrogen balance. But as you constantly eat food the body will use that food for energy and not the stored fat.
At the end of the day the easiest way to lose WEIGHT is being in a caloric deficit (burn more than what you eat) but if you want to lose FAT it's going to take a customised diet. Examples are ketogenic diet (where you eat no carbs and the body uses fats for energy), fasting or carb rotation (different days have different carbs amounts).
It comes down to preference and effectiveness among people.
Hope you all find this useful, if you want more info I am a PT and nutritionist :)
I totally agree with you. I'm taking a little bit of all your concepts here and combining it in the way that works for me. I'm one of the lucky ones that know what works for them. You are right, there isn't a one size fits all. Thanks for the wake up call. I'll shout you out on my next video. Dont want to take away anything from the pros like yourself. One thing I know for sure, and you'll agree with me, the secret key is documenting your progress and sharing it. If you have to face the camera and show it off to the world, you will surprise everyone, almost guaranteeing success.
Yea just like Rome wasn't built in a day, the same goes for the body it takes time and patience. For sure committing to sharing your journey will also push you further to continue :)
