What does work for true fat loss and a lean muscular body for life?
The ONLY way to lose body fat and get to a nice lean body composition and maintain it for LIFE, comes from these basic aspects:
- Make your health a priority. With everything you eat, drink, and do, think about whether it’s helping or hurting your health, and only do the things that help. If you honestly think about what you’re eating and what it will do to your body before you put it in your mouth, you’ll be one step closer to eating clean for life.
- Eat a clean healthy diet made up of natural unprocessed foods regularly, and make this a habit. Avoid even allowing yourself to buy junk or processed foods at all. There’s still a TON of delicious natural foods that can satisfy your cravings and give you great nutrition at the same time. If you can’t give up junk foods altogether, choose 1 day per week as a “cheat day” and only eat your junk foods on that day (this still means not having them in your house, but getting them only for your cheat days).
- Make regular exercise a daily part of your life. Every single day doesn’t have to include an intense workout, but try to at least workout intensely 3-4 days/week, and then at least get out and walk or ride a bike or something that involves movement almost every day.
Every day I go to the gym I see dozens of people running on treadmills. Some of them are running from the moment I arrive until the time I leave. I always wonder if these people are running because they really like running, or if they are running in hopes of burning off body fat.
