A Critical Mistake with Fat Loss

A Critical Mistake with Fat Loss

People ask me how to lose fat more quickly.

But many people ignore the one element that MUST happen for fat loss to occur. So I want
to emphasize this to you:

The only way you can ever lose fat is: consume fewer calories than your body expends.

If you are not losing weight, then you are consuming more calories than you are expending.

In case you missed it, I’ll repeat:

If you are not losing weight, then you are consuming more calories than you are expending.

Now, read the following closely. If you are not losing weight, then there is a 100% chance that you are consuming more calories than you are expending.

Should Women Eat Low Carb Diets?

A 20-year Harvard study comparing the diets of 82,802 women was published in the New England Journal of Medicine two weeks ago (most diet comparison studies last a year or less). It has some interesting conclusions.

Low-carb, higher fat diets did not increase risk of heart disease over the long term. 

Low-carb diets with more fats from vegetable sources loweredrisk of heart disease. (I presume this is due to unsaturated fats in most vegetable sources vs. the saturated fats from most animal sources)

Be Cool

I used to feel proud about being drenched in sweat by the end of a workout. I held a common, but mistaken, belief that sweating buckets was helpful in losing fat and getting healthy.

The reality is that one can improve workout performance and results by cooling sufficiently to prevent sweating.

Abandon Counting

People often ask: “Should I do lots of reps with light weights, or few reps and heavy weights?”

The answer: neither, actually. There is a more precise measure of exercise performance, and it means you can stop counting reps.
