5 fat burning tips from Chris Keith

1. High protein diets are very effective but we still need the carbs that give us the nutrients to burn fat, preserve muscle, also to create and maintain healthy cells. A diet that is high in protein without a significant amount of fiber will produce very limited results. Low Glycemic High Fiber nutrient dense carbs are essential for accelerated fat burning.

2. It is true that weight training does burn a lot of calories but aerobic exercise is still the most effective for fat burning despite what you read in publications like Muscle and Fiction. I have found that a combination of both is best for overall fitness and athleticism. If you insist on doing cardio indoors than you should only do The Stepmill. The indoor bikes and elipticals are very ineffective for burning fat.

3. The most effective fat burning is done best with a food journal counting both calories and carbohydrates. The kind of foods and the amount taken in is extremely relevant in your efforts. I have found that eating 6 or 7 small meals a day is a pain in the ass and is very ineffective because people are usually in a caloric surplus when doing so. 3 or 4 a day works best.

4. The volume of work is also very important to your success. The activity log is your best weapon for tracking the amount of work done. Exercising 3 hours a week is good but 7 hours is much better. Do not be to concerned with overtraining unless you are a complete Jack Lalanne is 94 years old and trains 2 hours a day 7 days a week, and look at him, my idol and inspiration.

5. Go to BOOTCAMP 619 for a free 2 week trial. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from the experience but don’t forget your helmet and your rifle because Chris Keith does not play when it comes to results.
