Weight loss
So after reading the title you're probally thinking theres some easy way to get rid of your fat ass. Im here to tell you there is no magic pill (Theres one but it will not be mentioned), no way to shed 40lbs in 7 days and that losing weight is a matter of dedication and willpower.
Dont get me wrong, there are aids to weightloss, some work better than others, but in the end it is all going to come down to how much effort you put in and how dedicated you are to losing the weight!
1.The key to weight loss
In my opinion weightloss is based 70% on diet and 30% exercise.
The only way you are going to lose weight (without surgery) is to consume (eat + drink) Less calories than your body burns in a day! aka Eating at a deficit
A good rule of thumb is:
Bodyweight
in lbs (pounds) x 10 = Calories to consume
So someone weighing 220lbs would
need to eat 2200 calories or less a day to lose weight
or
burning more calories than you consume by using exercise to create the deficit (EXERCISE IS A CHOICE NOT MANDATORY)
A.k.a If you eat 2500 calories, you have to do enough exercise to burn off atleast 300+ calories!
2.Muscle Burns fat (Optional)
Whether you are a man or woman weightlifting should be a part of your weightloss routine. Mainly because Muscle burns calories even when you are resting. So the more muscle you have the more calories being burned before you even lift a finger. And secondly because when you do lose weight, you do not want to look like a saggy pile of bones!
Including 3 x 30-60 minute compound weightlifting sessions is all you need to not only lose more weight but also have a half decent figure when you reach your goals.
3. Weightloss Aids
There are a number of Weightloss aids on the market... 95% of them highly likely do nothing and are just scams to get your money. The ones that do work, are still not going to make that much of a difference without a controlled diet and exercise in the first place. Below are the top 3 Aids Iv tried in my weight struggle and now use when cutting after a bulking session.
1. Ephedrine + Caffeine + Asperin (ECA Stack) - Ephedrine is no longer legal in all countries, even though its used in majority of breathing medications... But when combined with caffeine and asperin it has shown to cause moderate weight loss.
2. Clenbuterol - Very similar to ephedrine but no caffeine and asperin needed. "Clenbuterol is a steroid-like chemical, initially developed to alleviate
asthma symptoms in horses by relaxing the muscles in the airways. Its
stimulant effect on the heart and central nervous system mimics the
actions of adrenalin or amphetamines, and it is also used in animals as a
partitioning agent - a substance that increases lean muscle mass and
reduces fat deposits."
EPHEDRINE AND CLENBUTEROL ARE BOTH CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES IN SOME COUNTRIES AND BOTH HAVE PRETTY SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS, MAKE SURE TO EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE PURCHASING EITHER.
3. CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid) - Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring free fatty acid
found mainly in foods such as cheese, milk, lamb and beef as well as
many processed foods - but only in small amounts! To consume enough CLA
you would require a large intake of these types of foods. This of course
would be of no use as it would require you to eat alot of calories.
CLA is proven by research to build lean tissue, reduce body fat, and help general improved health!
