Geez, I hate dieting! I'll eat better instead..

**bigpetefox** · 11-01-2006, 03:45 AM

Sometimes I read forum after forum wondering,"Do any of these guys actually lift?" "Do they just take product xyz, and what happened to the 30lbs they gained on product abc last month?" I sometimes don't do logs online simply because my training is my business.. I'm no the least bit shy, I've posted many a pic over the years, and have met some of the more popular forum members in person.. But, enough about me..

Why do diets fail? Because we're conditioned to believe that a "diet" is suffering through salads and tuna.. Plenty of misconceptions about when/how to use a fatburner, calorie intake, use of multivitamins and/or antioxidants.. Alot of guys/girls still don't realize insulin is the maker or breaker of your diet sucess..

The 3 main things to keep in mind while leaning out:

1. Like I said in my last statement, insulin can make or break your fat-burning.. Ever have "that last few inches" you try to get rid of, only for it to taunt your efforts? Glucose, my friend, manage glucose.. Even if you're on a low-carb type of eating program, proper nutrient partitioning is key for the spikes in insulin that may occur even with the low glycemic foods..

2. If you don't take any antioxidants, you really should start.. Besides just being damn good for you, they absorb free radicals in the bloodstream.. Not to mention (and this is the simple science) your body stores toxins and free radicals in the FAT! As a defense mechanism, fat will not be released to be burned UNLESS there are enough antioxidants to combat the toxins built up.. Some may seem to think otherwise, but anyone who's had a deep tissue massage knows you feel like crap afterwards due to the toxins being forced out into the bloodstream..

3. Calories in should be less than calories out.. In reverse, you should burn more calories than you eat.. I read on another board a guy was "cutting" at 1500 calories.. If I eat that little in a day, shoot me! Do you think muscle can survive without nourishment? Sacrificing muscle to see your (amino deficient) abs shouldn't be the goal.. Saving as much muscle while allowing your metabolism to burn off as much fat as possible is the one thing we want..

That's a good start, very basic and easy to do.. Next time I have an insomnia-infused idea to type out, I'll put all 3 together in a plan to give an idea how it'll work..

IMO, the highest amount of potency the better.. Turmeric, green tea, resveratrols(grape skin extract), pycnogenol.. Here's afew products that are well worth the $$, yet can be found for good prices..

New Chapter Supercritical Antioxidants
Source Naturals Resveratrols
Garden of Life Tea Trio
Now Foods Super Antioxidants

Take as directed while cutting, enjoy the new abs..

BIG Z · 11-03-2006, 03:47 PM

good post man, another great every day antioxident is blue berries.

**bigpetefox** · 11-09-2006, 06:03 PM

Blueberries are indeed potent, just be sure not to go over your caloric needs when munching away on them..
