The whole internet is looking for good diet advice, right? Of course. They want to know how to burn fat, get that six pack, and look sexier. We all know the point is to lose weight, fast, so suddenly that it looks like it happened overnight to everyone else.
Look, I’ve been into fitness for ten years...I LOVE that feeling after hitting the gym, and topping it off with an invigorating meal full of energizing ingredients. I’ve tried lots of weird diet stuff – vegan, juice fasting, low carbs, balanced (of course) even the hi-protein low-everything-else typical American hamburger diet.
On my own I intuitively found ways to stay around 8% body fat eating six meals a day, and even big sloppy peanut butter fudge sundaes once in a while at that. I just wanted my abs to always have that cut six pack look. Classic Fight Club Style. The key was manipulating metabolism.
Well, I can't teach the whole planet a fitness class, so I'm doing the next best thing: finding the best weight loss courses and diet information online and posting them here. I review and give commentary so that you can easily decide which one you want.
Anyway, most people start out with a rather persistent complaint, in fact this is usually the first thing I hear: "I've been eating less frequently, but nothing's happening."
They also usually pose the question: "What kind of fitness approach is best for me?" Now, I gotta be honest. There ARE some crazy, effective, and powerful weight loss programs! They work, too.
But, most of the online information (especially free) is geared towards people who either want to make monstrous muscle gains or do the same boring exercises that took up the first 10 minutes of your high school gym class. It's the rule, not the exception.
Furthermore, most people who come to me with diet questions just want to look like a cut, sexier version of themselves. And they want to achieve that fast, and in exciting ways.
So what I tell them is to check out these videos (they're free, no worries).
This site also goes over 5 key facts about core and ab work, many myths are dispelled here which I agree with from personal experience. For example, did you know that many health foods are cleverly disguised junk foods? Or that the situps and crunches most people do aren't using their core's maximum potential?
Crunches certainly don't hurt, no form of healthy exercise is harmful, however I personally want to always have the most EFFECTIVE practice possible when I need to, don't you? Why spend 20 extra minutes "sort of" getting ripped abs when you could spend less time and get better results? Exactly, no one would. :)
