**** I AM A WEIGHT RETRICTED ATHLETE - THIS IS WEIGHT CUTTING ADVICE - NOT BB'ING COMPETITION ADVICE ****
Here is some advice from several years of trial and error seeking a healthy way to cut weight and reduce body fat. This is just the tip of the iceberg but here are three things the anyone can easily implement.
1. Drink water! Plenty of it. If you do not stay hydrated you are retaining water and bringing the fat burning process to a stand still. When you do not hydrate enough your body releases a survival hormone called vasopressin. It has a specific purpose of making sure your body holds on to all the water it can. 1.5-2 gallons a day for men and 1-1.5 gallons for women.
2. Cut out post workout carbs. Yes, you heard me right. Post workout carbs do not assist in protein synthesis. Also after working out growth hormone release is increased. Ingesting carbs increase insulin release which reduces GH. Lastly, in the attempt to replace glycogen stores post workout you are reducing the amount of fatty acids your body uses for fuel slowing down the cutting process. Wait several hours post workout before ingesting carbs.
3. Drink plenty of water! I said this already but because of its importance it was worth repeating.
Take care.
