The
Big Lie.
Do
you know the absolute BEST way to GAIN weight?
Not
eating. Does that come as a surprise? Fasting for extended periods of
time actually slows your metabolism (your body’s rate of calorie
burning). Add to that the fact that you will lose muscle and energy
by not supplying your body with proper nutrients. Instead of not
eating at all try just eating less! Going long periods without eating
will actually make fat increase. All my Toronto boot camp members
follow this and see results.
Ever
hear the term skinny fat? Flabby lose skin with no tone. Yes they are
light on the scale but carry around too much extra body fat relative
to their weight and height. Ever see those people who are thin, frail
and have no muscle tone, but are skinny?
With
out proper amounts of protein and nutrition the body goes into
survival mode and actually clings on to body fat for dear life. However, since your body still needs energy; the process of anabolic catabolism (the break down of
muscle) begins. The lean muscle tissue is broken down and converted into energy the
body can use.
The
result effect leaves your body low in lean healthy muscle tissue and
high in unsightly body fat.
So
instead of going long period without eating; try eating more often at
least every 2-3 hours smaller portions of nutritious food. This is
why those extreme body builders who eat hoards of calories have such
a low body fat. They eat often!
I'm
not saying to eat extra tons of food, but what I mean is spread out
your daily calorie target out over the day and divide into several
meals. Instead of one big breakfast and dinner, take that same amount
of food and divide it into smaller meals. Around 5 to 6 meals is much
more effective.
If
you are not sure what you daily calorie target is there are plenty of
calorie counters or online apps that free. One I like to use is
called Myfitnesspal
This
is what I tell my members in boot camp all the time, and they all see
results when they make this shift. If you would like to know more or

Talk
to you later,
Rob
