Losing Fat Step 1

Your Fat Loss Plan Take This First Step


The last couple of posts we have been talking about diet changes and eating healthy for fat loss. Today let’s look at a very simple healthy eating choice. I call it step 1 because it really is so simple that we tend to overlook it.


I think the reason is all the fad diet programs that tell you about thier meal plans and shakes that are going to help you lose fat quickly we forget the obvious.



Losing Fat And Eating Healthy Doesn’t Happen Eating Processed Foods


• If you couldn’t hunt, fish, pluck, grow or ferment/culture the food, you probably shouldn’t eat it

• If it wasn’t food 100 years ago, it isn’t food today

• If it comes in a box or a plastic wrapper, it most likely isn’t food, it is a food product


The fact of the matter is that humans throughout history have thrived on a tremendous variety of diets. High fat diets, high carb diets, mostly animal foods diets, mostly plant diets, and everything in between.


Yet all of these societies were almost entirely free of the “diseases of civilization” that haunt us today – metabolic syndrome, diabetes, overweight, obesity, heart disease and cancer...

Belly Fat Do You Suffer From Excess Stomach Fat?

Like many people, you probably suffer from regional fat storage issues. That is, while you store fat over your entire body, it’s probably most noticeable in certain areas, and it's from these areas in which we struggle most to lose fat.

You know--the problem areas.These problem areas are influenced heavily by your hormonal environment, and where you store that last bit of fat is determined by which of your hormones are most out of whack (and yes, sometimes it's quite a few of them).

Today I’m going to talk to you about belly fat specifically.

One of the things that has been talked about quite a bit in fitness media lately is the relationship between belly fat and a hormone called “cortisol.” To put it simply, the higher your cortisol levels, the more belly fat you’re likely to have.

By the same token, if you have a good deal of belly fat, it’s reasonable to assume that you have high cortisol.Having high cortisol is detrimental for other reasons, but for our purposes, let’s focus on the fact that cortisol is keeping you not-so-little in the middle.

Rather than just suffer through this, the obvious solution is to try to lower cortisol levels and resultantly lower belly fat. And I'll tell you, lowering cortisol is a LOT trickier than you might think. I’m sure you’ve seen the late night TV ads trying to sell you anti-cortisol pills. Even if they worked (they don’t), it’s a hormone like cortisol can’t be fooled by a little pill.

Besides, wouldn’t it be much more effective to find a solution without taking expensive pills? Something that is also going to help you burn fat overall?

Lactic Acid Training To Beat Belly Fat



Of course, you’re wondering: how to I do it!? It’s easy. While lactic acid is produced in most forms of intense exercise, there is an unusual style of exercise that can actually produce even MORE lactic acid than is generally possible with other types of exercise. Appropriately (and not-so-cleverly) called “lactic acid training,” this type of training uses slow lifting speeds and fast lowering speeds.



The reason for the structure is that lactic acid is primarily produced during the “concentric” or positive/lifting phase of an exercise, and not so much during the “eccentric” or negative/lowering phase. To take advantage of this and produce more lactic acid, we simply–with apologies to Bing Crosby–accentuate the positive and (almost but not quite) eliminate the negative of each rep on all of our exercises.



To quantify it a bit, for each rep, you’d lift it over a period of about 4 seconds, and lower the weight extremely quickly, but safely.



If you were squatting, you’d drop down to the bottom position relatively quickly, and push slowly back to the top. In an overhead press, you’d lower the dumbbells quickly but safely, and press them back over your head over a period of 4-6 seconds.



Performing exercises with these extended concentric movements is going to create a tremendous amount of lactic acid, which in turn is going to prompt your body to produce fantastic amounts of growth hormone. And that growth hormone is going to help you manage cortisol and fight belly fat.



And if all THAT wasn’t enough, lactic acid training is also just a great fat loss training method, so you’ll lose fat overall
