7 PROVEN Techniques For Drug Free Fat Loss

Struggling to lose weight and burn fat?  If so here are 7 PROVEN techniques for drug free fat loss that will make your metabolism a fat burning furnace.

Fat loss is a result of doing small and consistent things over and over that becomes a complete lifestyle change.

How many people do you know went on a fad diet only to gain the weight all back and sometimes more?

Quite a few I’m sure.

I like to tell people it is more of a lifestyle change that is going to help aid in weight loss and keep it off.

With that being said, here are 7 PROVEN techniques that will spark your metabolism into a fat loss burning furnace.

Drug Free Fat Loss Technique # 1  Intermittent Fasting

People who fast intermittently often eat within an 8-hour block, leaving 16 hours of fasting in between.

During that 16-hour stretch, their bodies undergo an important change that sets them apart from non-fasters.

When you eat, you store some of that energy in the liver as glycogen.

But after 10-12 hours of not eating, your glycogen reserves will be extremely low.

As a result, you may feel more irritable than normal, a term scientists call “hangry.”

The upside is — with little glycogen left — fat cells in your body release fats into your bloodstream.

The fat cells head straight to your liver, where they’re converted to energy for your body and brain.

So, you are literally burning fat to survive.

Blood samples show that people who had fasted for 12-24 hours experienced a 60% increase in energy from fat, with the biggest change occurring after 18 hours.

This is the benefit to intermittent fasting because it puts you in a state called ketosis and it’s why researchers think intermittent fasting could be the key to a longer, healthier life.

Drug Free Fat Loss Technique # 2  Caloric Deficit/Ketogenic Style Diet

The ketogenic diet is the HOTTEST diet of 2018 and for good reason, it gets you fast weight loss results.

Most ketogenic diets require you to keep your carbs under 30 grams a day and the most carbs that I’ve ever seen on a keto plan was 50 grams a day.

Usually this will account for 5% of your total daily intake.

Then you would have somewhere between 75 to 80 percent of your calories from fat.

And finally 15 to 20 percent of your calories from protein.

With ketogenic it’s clear that the carbs are very limited at only 5 percent per day and the reason why carbs are so limited is because the ketogenic diet is trying to put you into ketosis.

To sum it up, ketosis is a state in which you’re going to burn more fat and produce Ketone bodies in your liver for use as energy when carbohydrates are really low.

Essentially you’ll burn body fat much faster in the absence of glucose which comes from carbohydrates.

Here’s a formula for how keto works.

1. First determine maintenance calories, then subtract 250–500 calories from maintenance = Body Weight x 14
2. Protein = Consume ONLY 20% protein total from your daily calories.
3. Carbohydrates = Consume ONLY 5% carbs total from your daily calories.
4. Fat = Consume 75% of healthy fats from your daily calories.

Drug Free Fat Loss Technique # 3 Exercise (Body-Weight Circuits or Resistance Training)

All you need is 8-10 minutes a day of exercises to burn fat.

Studies have shown that body weight circuits burn 9 times more fat than traditional cardio methods.

Resistance training is another activity that will burn fat.

Drug Free Fat Loss Technique # 4  Hydration

Drinking a lot of water will actually shed more water in your body.

From a logical standpoint this does not make sense however, many bodybuilders including myself have used this technique to shed water from underneath the muscle.

Drinking an excess of water is a natural diuretic.

The more you drink the more you’ll piss it out and the body has no need to hold onto more water.

Simple but true.

Drug Free Fat Loss Technique # 5  Macro Timing

Here is what a day would look like if you are trying to lose weight” (above 12% body fat) and how to use carb timing to your advantage.

1. Protein/Fat (Mornings)
2. Protein/Fat (2nd Meal)
3. Protein/Fat (Pre Training)
4. Protein/Simple Carb (An hour after workout, post training between 30-50 grams)
5. Protein/Fat (Before Bed)

Drug Free Fat Loss Technique # 6  Ditch the Cardio

What cardio does is make you more “efficient” at using fat as an energy source. On the surface this sounds fantastic, but it’s definitely bad.

Being efficient at using fat means you start to use fat slower and “better” to fuel activity.

To be more “efficient” at using fat as an energy source means to burn less of it, not more of it! You’re getting “more” out of “less.”

As you become more and more efficient at storing fat then your only option is to go longer and longer, which then in turn only enhances the effect of burning less and less fat as you get better conditioned!

It’s a deadly snowball.

Isn’t this the exact opposite of why you introduced cardio in the first place?

Eventually, you have to go LONGER to get the SAME effect as you did before, which is the law of diminishing returns.

This sets up a very bad situation for your body, sex-drive, and lifestyle.

When I discovered 4-minute body-weight circuits approach that can help you carve more muscle mass, less belly fat, better overall fitness and more testosterone than you probably need (LOL), I was pumped.

Drug Free Fat Loss Technique # 7  Sleep

The most common recommendation is to get 8 hours of sleep. However, a lot of people have a tough time doing that, either because of work or other responsibilities 8 hours of sleep every night of the week is sometimes hard to do.

Some recommend that it’s even better to get 9 hours of sleep, but at minimum I would say you need to get at least 6.

Do your best to shoot for the 8 hours of sleep as much as you can.

Check out this study on the importance of getting optimal sleep.

Conclusion

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat?  It’s true — as much as 70% of the population in some “westernized” countries such as the US and Australia are now considered either overweight or obese.

The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body.

However, what most people don’t realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health.

Scientific research has clearly determined that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.

Here is one simple step to REMOVE this fat permanently
