You’re here because you want to lose weight fast, and that’s completely understandable.Whether you have a lot or a little fat to lose, the sooner it’s over, the better.You have to be careful what you wish for, though, because if you go about it incorrectly—like most people do—you may just wind up skinny fat.In other words, if you do what most people do—starve yourself and do a bunch of cardio—you’ll lose weight alright, but you’re probably not going to be happy with what you see in the mirror.The reason for this is most rapid weight loss protocols are essentially “crash diets” that burn just as much muscle as fat, which ruins your body composition.The goal, then, isn’t to loseweight as quickly as possible, but to lose fat and not muscle as quickly as possible.That’s how you get lean, toned, and defined, not skinny, flabby, and weak.And when that’s the goal, you have to do things very differently. The good news, though, is the better way is also easier than you probably think.That’s right, once you know what you’re doing, you can not only lose fat (and not muscle) rapidly, but you can do it without suffering. In fact, you can evenenjoy the process.That’s what you’re going to learn in this podcast.You’re going to learn the 3 worst mistakes people make that stop fat loss in its tracks.You’re going to learn the simple rule for determining how fast you can lose weight without losing muscle.You’re going to learn the 5 steps you need to follow to lose fat and not muscle as quickly as possible.And then you’re going to get a proven diet and exercise plan that you can start today and see real results within your first week.Let’s get started.6:40 - How to lose weight the wrong way 8:43 - Why is a very low calorie and low protein diet bad? 10:15 - Why is lots of cardio bad? 13:03 - Cardio and overtraining 14:40 - Why is high-reps, low-weight training bad? 15:41 - What’s the best way to lose fat? 17:21 - Use an aggressive but not reckless calorie deficit 24:04 - Eat a high protein and high carb diet 29:07 - Do a lot of heavy, compound weight lifting 32:26 - Keep your cardio to minimum 33:06 - Take supplements that are proven to accelerate fat loss 34:53 - How much weight can you lose in 30 days? 39:19 - Why is losing fat fast so hard? 46:36 - Can you lose weight quickly without going to the gym? 49:13 - The best way to diet to lose fat fast 20:10 - How to determine your macros 55:15 - How to create a meal plan 1:05:03 - How to adjust your numbers/plan based on how your body respondsWant to get my best advice on how to gain muscle and strength and lose fat faster?
