Fat
Loss Diet
Lose Fat Fast!
If you're looking for a fat
loss diet that helps you lose fat fast, you've
found the information you're looking for! I must warn you about one
thing, though, before we continue; you must be serious, dedicated, and
willing to change some of your lifestyle in order for this fat loss
diet to work for you! If you're none of those, you should look for an
easier diet to follow.
If you're really serious about fat loss and losing fat fast, implement
the diet exactly as I recommend below. No changes. No tweaks. Just
implement it as written.
Here at Weight Lifting Complete, we believe in a complete weight
lifting program to reach your goals. No matter what goals you have, you
should always include weight lifting, diet, and cardiovascular
exercise. So, on this page, I will discuss all of these components but fast
fat loss will be the focus. I will go over the diet
guidelines, and it's your job to implement them!
Main
Objective of a Fat Loss Diet
The main objective of any fat loss diet should be
to get your body to use fat as fuel because there's nothing else to
burn as energy. Your body will burn fat when it needs energy!
Most people know that you must burn more calories than you are taking
in to lose weight. We don't want to just lose weight here. We want to
lose fat! I hate the term weight loss because it usually means loss of
muscle and fat. Muscle loss is very bad.
We want to hold onto all of our muscle while losing fat and possibly
even build more muscle. It's a lot tougher to build muscle when your
body doesn't have the extra energy it needs to do so, but it is
possible with the correct weight lifting program, fat loss diet, and
cardio plan.
We will do everything in our power to get you the best plan for fat
loss! You follow this plan, and you will lose fat fast. Be prepared to
be amazed.
Preliminary
Guidelines
Here we go. You follow this plan as laid out and
you will lose fat fast. Some preliminary stuff I want you to follow
before I get into diet details. Always weigh yourself once per week
under the same conditions. I prefer morning time as soon as I wake up
and after I use the bathroom. Shoot for 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss
per week. No more than 2 pounds. Adjust your diet each week depending
on body weight results.
Ensure you follow the WLC Program for weight
lifting. Lift weights 3 times per week. Every other day and then two
consecutive days off. I like Monday, Wednesday, Friday for weight
lifting. Always ensure you are not losing strength in the gym. You can
continue to gain strength while in a calorie deficit. Don't let anyone
tell you differently!
Never go below 10 times your body weight in
calories. If you are not losing weight at that calorie intake, simply
increase your cardio duration or increase number of sessions. There is
no reason to starve your body to lose fat fast! If you starve yourself,
you will lose lots of weight but most of it will be muscle.
The Fat
Loss Diet for Fast Results!
Listen carefully to the guidelines here. These are
not difficult if you slowly go thru these and apply them to your WLC
Diet. We will be doing low carb for the first five days of the week.
Let's assume we are on the Monday, Wednesday, Friday weekly
lifting schedule. So, Monday thru Friday will be low carb
with a few exceptions.
Those exceptions will be on your weight lifting
days. The only time I want you to have carbs is for 2 meals post
workout. I do not want you to have carbs before or during your workout.
I do want you to drink BCAA's
right before and during your workout. Directly after your workout, I
want you to have a post workout shake consisting of Waxy Maize and
BCAA's. 15 minutes after that shake, I want you down a few scoops of
whey protein. This concludes your first post workout meal.
For the second post workout meal, I want you to
have a whole food meal consisting of protein, carbs, and fat. Maybe
something like a steak and baked potato with everything you like. Have
a salad too along with some veggies and dressing. Lay off the bad
foods. Use this important time to get the best foods down that you can!
After the two post workout meals, back to low
carbs for the rest of the day. The two post workout meals are the only
meals of the 5 day week that you will eat carbohydrates. Now, let's
talk about the weekend: Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday and Sunday will consist of mostly protein
and carbs. The carb sources should be complex and you should not be
mixing lots of carbs and fat! No doughnuts. No cookies. No cake and ice
cream. None of these bad foods are allowed. We want fat loss, and we
are going to optimize every aspect of this fat loss diet.
Calorie
Cycling for Fat Loss Diets
Losing fat fast is accomplished for longer periods
when calorie cycling is utilized. If you've read any of my weight
lifting guides, you'll know that I love calorie cycling
throughout the weeks and year no matter what your goals may be. Now,
let's go through a typical week of the fat loss diet in terms of total
calories per day.
Remember, the calorie levels below are only an
example. You will need to determine your calories through trial and
error that cause you to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. Everyone is so
very different that it's very tough to recommend a certain calorie
level for everyone. If you have no idea, I would start at 15 to 16
times your body weight and see what happens at the end of the week.
Example Only!
Average Calorie Target for
Week = 3500 Calories
| Day of Week |
Calories |
| Monday |
3800 |
| Tuesday |
3200 |
| Wednesday |
3800 |
| Thursday |
3200 |
| Friday |
4000 |
| Saturday |
3500 |
| Sunday |
3000 |
Pay attention to the different days and the
calorie levels. You will be amazed at what calorie cycling will do for
your fat loss results! Usually on the WLC Program, Friday or the last
workout of the week is the toughest. I like to distribute extra
calories to the toughest weight lifting day of the week. Here at Weight
Lifting Complete, we always optimize every part of your complete weight
lifting program!
Low Carb
and Fat Intake
So, now you know that we will eat low carb
throughout the week except post workout for two meals and on the two
weekend days. Tuesday and Thursday will be completely low carb. Now,
you need to know what I mean by low carb, right? You also need to know
how much fat to eat throughout the days.
Before I get into the numbers, I want you to know
that green veggies will not count as carb intake. I want you to have
veggies with most of your low carb meals throughout the day. Here are
some ideas for veggies:
- Broccoli
- Romaine Lettuce
- Spinach
- Green Beans
- Peppers
- Cucumbers
- Zucchini
- Carrots
When I say low carb, I want you to keep each meal
to 10 grams of carbs or less. I want fat intake to be 40 to 50 percent
of the total calories in your diet. The rest of the calories will be
designated for your protein intake. You'll most likely be around 40
percent fat on your workout days and closer to 50 percent on your two
off days during the week. Don't worry about any fat percentage for the
weekend days. Just keep the fat low and to good sources if you have
any. Fish oil is a good source of fat to add to a few meals on the
weekends.
Other
Fat Loss Diet Guidelines
For cardiovascular
exercise, I want you to do low intensity directly after your
workout. Start out with a lower amount and increase over the weeks. I
like to start with about 10 minutes and increase to 20 or 30 over the
weeks. On the two off days during the week, I want you to do HIIT
starting around 15 minutes and increasing to 30 or so over the weeks.
Starting out, I want you to rest completely on the weekends. But, you
do have the option of adding cardio to these days if needed down the
road.
Another option you have if fat loss slows towards
the end of the weight lifting cycle is to make Sunday low carb and only
keep Saturday as a carb up. So, treat Sunday as a low carb day as you
would for Tuesday and Thursday.
Keep water intake very high on this diet. Have at
least a gallon of pure water not including protein shakes. Use water as
your only source of liquid. No juices. No milk except on carb up day if
you have to have it.
Ensure you are sleeping well each night. Take naps
if you need them during the day. Take a nap when you get home from work
or school if you need the extra sleep. Rest on your off days! That just
about wraps it all up! I hope you enjoyed this. Now get to work. Hard
work will pay off! You will get fast fat loss with this diet. Get
started today.
