The Blueprint Part 1

Lots of questions lately about the methods that I've employed to achieve the fat loss success that I've had over the past 5 months. Putting it all here to clarify my own thinking on it as much anything else.

In the coming days/weeks, I plan on assigning priorities to each, depending on the stage that a person is at in their journey (i.e. out of shape and just getting started on a major weight loss program vs. pretty fit and just trying to lose a few lbs.)

• Consistency
• Low carbs, but nothing crazy like some
• Little/no refined carbs (white bread, white sugar, white rice, etc.)
• A lot less meat
• Little/no processed foods
• Smallish portions
• Intermittent fasting (I usually eat all my meals in an 8 hour period each day, with my caloric cutoff usually at around 3 pm)
• Fasted cardio first thing each day on an empty stomach.
• Weight training each night.
• Drink only water
• Little/no caffeine

This is just my own personal set of rules - they may not necessarily be for everyone. But I can unequivocally say that I swear by the effect that following them have had on me.

More to come soon.
