You’re Eating Too Much Fat

Speaking of trendy diets…

Some people buy into the no carb bullshit. They cut carbs and assume that they’re good to go and there’s nothing else to worry about. Unfortunately, the low/no carb diet isn’t as much fun as Dr. Atkins made it out to be.

You can’t just eat pounds of bacon and mayonnaise with reckless abandon and think that you’ll magically end up ripped.

Fat contains calories; nine per gram to be exact. That’s more than twice the calories of a gram of protein or carbs. At the end of the day total calories still matter, and if you’re eating more than you burn you’re never going to get ripped.

Please don’t mistake this as my advocating a low fat diet. That’s just as bad as eating too much fat.

About 20% of your calories (and at the most, 30%) should come from healthy fats like pastured egg yolks, wild caught salmon, grass fed beef and coconut oil to ensure optimal health. Just be careful about going overboard with it and thinking that low carbs automatically leads to single digit body-fat.

You still need to keep a handle on things like total calories.

And carbs are NOT evil. They help you lose fat, feel better and perform optimally.

Want big results in very little time?, If yes, then we have tips for you to look shaped, you can get amazing results-up to 3 inches in 4 weeks

You’re Not Training With Enough Resistance


When you want to lose body-fat the first inclination is often to crank up the reps and cut the rest periods. I actually have no problem with fairly low rest periods.

But not if you’re used to resting two minutes between sets and all of the sudden cut them down to thirty seconds because you decided it was time to get shredded you’ll be in trouble.

That never works. All that happens is your weights start plummeting on every exercise and you get weaker and smaller.

When dieting, the primary role of strength training is to maintain muscle mass. That is the single most important thing.

If you’re trying to lose 10-20 pounds of body-fat without losing all your muscle mass in the process you should use strength training as a way to maintain size and strength. So the same principles that helped you get big and strong apply when dieting.

You’re Eating Too Many Calories

This should be pretty obvious to most people, but there are still those who are claiming that you can eat all you want as long as you avoid carbs.

That’s just not true. At the end of the day you need to eat less. It’s really simple.

If you’re eating the right amount of healthy food it would be hard NOT to lose fat. Most people eat way more than they think they do.

Eating less is challenging. That’s why most people look for another answer. Consuming just 2500 calories per day requires some discipline. But then so does anything else worthwhile that you’d want to accomplish.

When you’re not losing fat the way you want to the solution is pretty simple. Eat less food.

You’re Drinking Too Many Protein Shakes

When you want to get ripped it’s always better to chew as many of your calories as possible. The very act of chewing and digesting solid food burns more calories than drinking shakes does. Most physique competitors cut out shakes when getting ready for a show.

Take note and learn the lesson. One small one after a workout is okay but that’s it. I wouldn’t be slugging down three a day. And if you really want to get ripped I strongly consider cutting them out completely.

Health / Watch What Happens Inside The Human Body After Marijuana Consumption by vinmore12: 3:18pm On May 21, 2016
When you smoke marijuana, the mind altering chemical THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and other chemicals travel through the bloodstream to your brain.

Your lungs absorb the inhaled smoke, which travels through the alveoli and into the blood. THC reaches the brain just seconds after it’s inhaled, creating the powerful feeling users experience as a “high.” While the high varies for each person, here are a few of the most common side effects for marijuana users and why these physical and psychological changes occur.

Appetite Changes

The cannabinoids in marijuana interfere with the appetite suppressing hormones in the brain, which tell you when your body is full. At the same time, your increased endorphins, or pleasure hormones, are enticing you to eat more, for a one two punch that is colloquially known as “the munchies.”

Memory Loss

THC also acts on the hippocampus, the part of the brain that forms and processes memories. Changes to the hippocampus can cause short term memory loss in marijuana users, as well as permanent cognitive impairment for those who use the drug while the brain is still developing. It’s not all negative, though; recent research shows that the drug may prevent the development of Alzheimer’s disease. According to a 2006 study published in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, marijuana blocks the enzyme in the brain that causes the formation of the brain lesions associated with Alzheimer’.
