What’s going on Nation! With summer approaching fast, I know many of you are looking to shred fat, bring those abs to the surface and show off your gains at the beach!
At the end of the day, there’s really no reason why you would want to kill yourselves in the winter trying to make some gains if you can’t enjoy the physique you’ve built. And that doesn’t have to be for just showing off guys, it can be for overall health reasons, maybe there is some clothing you really like and want to fit into, or maybe a special occasion you just want to look your best for. There are many reasons why we train hard and when it comes time to trim down, in my opinion, most of us take WAY TOO MANY drastic measures to cut the fat off.
So, I thought I would share with you guys my top 8 tips to help you trim that layer of body fat as fast and as safe as possible.
Tip #1 – Don’t Wait Until The Last Minute To Start Cutting
Now, you might think this is a bit TOO obvious to be a helpful tip, but it’s actually very important. Most people forget or neglect to start their cutting phase until it’s too late. Then they realize they don’t have enough time, start panicking and employ drastic measures in a futile attempt to drop weight fast. This never works guys and in most cases you will lose a lot of that precious muscle you have been building during your bulking season. In fact, you might even end up being less lean and less defined because you are depriving yourself of food and water to “lose weight” and your body just isn’t getting the hydration, vitamins, minerals and macros it needs for your muscles to look healthy and full.
In fact, RIGHT NOW is the time to start cutting. March is over and you’re left with 2 - 3 months to get it done. If you have been LEAN BULKING, you should have only gained about 10 – 15 pounds max of fat during your bulk and setting a goal to trim 2 – 4 pounds of fat a month is VERY realistic, especially if you apply the following tips I’m about to share!
Tip #2 – Don’t Fall Victim To Crash (Fad) Diets
I’ve read the articles in the so called “fitness magazines” too guys! I know what they’re spreading around, and it’s nothing more than misinformation which can even be dangerous and unhealthy at times. The worst was about 2 years ago when every damn Instagram account with over 100k followers was promoting that detox tea bullshit. Do you guys remember that? Made me CRINGE every time I saw it because I knew for a fact that 99% of the fitness “influencers” posting about it didn’t even touch that junk. At the end of the day if you eat healthy, you don’t need a detox and a few weeks of drinking FLUIDS ONLY will of course make you lose weight because you are going to shit and piss your brains out.
You also see articles about how low carb diets and ketogenic diets can be excellent for dropping weight fast too. Listen guys, these are just drastic and desperate measures to sell subscriptions or gain views and they are bound to fail. First of all, a low carb or ketogenic diet isn’t any better for losing weight than any other calorie deficit diet and secondly, in many cases they can even be bad for your health.
You have to understand that losing weight comes down to calories in versus calories out. As long as you’re in a caloric deficit (which means you eat less calories than your body needs), you WILL lose weight, regardless of the macronutrient ratios.
However, notice I said macronutrients and not micronutrients. Of course, a calorie deficit diet WILL help you lose weight. But that doesn’t mean you can eat whatever junk you want and still hope to drop weight like all these people eating McDonald’s and claiming IIFYM would like you to believe. In fact, if someone is telling you to eat McDonald’s in moderation, just unsubscribe from them. It’s low quality food and should never be on your mind as an option. Now there might be times you HAVE to get it because you had a crazy day and it’s a matter of eating something or nothing… but you’ll never look ripped eating McDonald’s in moderation unless you’re on drugs. Period. It’s LOW QUALITY shitty food guys.
