Want to look better naked AND improve athletic performance? You’ve come to the right place!
In all seriousness, this can be achieved by using a few simple tricks to lean out and strengthen the body while holding on to those beloved carbs!
First, let’s talk about what we want to avoid – the simple, calorie restriction approach. On its own, in my opinion, this fails. Why? Because it can be difficult to measure calories, day after day, and the constant pressure of balancing the numbers can become overwhelming. It also fails to address the types of foods we put into our body and how these affect us.
I should add that weight loss through this method can be achieved, though the individual will likely put the weight back on later or the weight loss will be due to lost muscle, not fat, making the body look smaller, whilst remaining untoned. Scientifically, this method has also been shown to lower testosterone and possibly reduce bone density.
So, how do we think it should be done?
We’ve whittled it down (you’re welcome) to the top 3 considerations you should make to improve your fat loss and strength gains:
