"It is not "I am doing this," but rather an inner realization that "this is happening through me"." ?.Bruce Lee.
The outer is the inner and there should be no division.
The body lives with this understanding.
Exercise should not be complicated. Exercise is learning to practice a form of art that will later become formless. In your movements, include beauty and sensitivity. This creates an emotional substance of inner health functions that are living and giving the human-body and a human-being its human-life.
By did the way did you hear that a new condition has emerged, called Diabetes III. A symptom of this Diabetes III is Alzheimers: brought about by a LACK of cholesterol. Can we please not put all our faith into studies, what experts say or even me? Information we gather can be disproven within time and research. Do not deny or aprove, merely OBSERVE. Simply be uninfluenced.
How to eat
You need to eat EVERYTHING.
Carb, protein, fats ? they?re all essential to your body; the key is moderation.
You need to eat at the right TIME.
Don?t starve when your body needs energy, and don?t over-eat when you have enough.
Timing your meals allow you to stay full on less food.Your diet should fit your needs.
Diets are not one-size-fits-all.
Everyone?s bodies, lifestyles, diets, and dieting goals are different.
A weight loss diet for one person might lead to weight gain for another.
Healthy dieting requires:
TIMING (of meals)
VARIETY (of foods)
BALANCE (of nutrients)
MODERATION (of portions)
Meat - Stick to white meat. It is easier for your body to digest, processes faster through your body, and doesn?t sit around in your stomach making you sluggish. Examples of white meat are chicken, turkey, and fish. Funny how white meat happens to be lean animals that can fly or move quickly? Red meat is the stuff you try to avoid if you can ? which is beef or pork. Maybe it?s because our cows and pigs are fed crap that it makes their meat less healthy for the body.
Proteins - Besides meat, eggs, tuna, greek yogurt, beef jerky and almond or soy milk are an excellent source of pure protein.
Fruits and Vegetables ? Everybody needs vitamins, this is a requirement to be a healthy person in general. Eat a wide variety of them. Remember the more colorful the better. Broccoli, Spinach, Blueberries, Apples, Oranges, Cherries, Carrots.
Liquids - Water, water, water! One gallon a day is minimum for everybody in general. Two to three gallons is a must if you workout hard and/or live in a hot state. Again, this is a minimum, if you can drink more, do it. Stay the hell away from alcohol, it will slow you down, fatten you up, and put you in more situations where you are likely to be straying away from the healthy boxer?s lifestyle!
Fats - Honestly, this has more to do with your genetic makeup than anything. If you have a body that builds up fat easily, stay away from saturated fats for at least five days out of the week. Mono and poly unsaturated fats are good.
55% - Carbs
25% - Fats
20% - Protein
Try to maintain that balance.
Knowing WHEN to eat,is as important as knowing WHAT to eat.
Our #1 problem is figuring out when to eat. (Most people know what to eat. Fruits are good, junk foods are bad, etc) If you?re eating healthy but still not losing weight, it?s probably your timing that?s off. If you don?t eat at the right time, it matters very little whether you eat healthy or not?because the food gets transformed into fat anyway!
The #1 diet problemNot eating when the body needs food,and then over-eating when finally eating.
? so when do we eat?
Your body is constantly using energy, spiking its energy use during your workout.Your diet should follow your energy use as closely as possible.
Bad diet plan of eating 3 big meals a day.
Over-eating converts surplus nutrients to fatfewer meals leaves you hungry & weak in between mealsstarving often leads to more over-eating.
One of the biggest diet mistakes is waiting too long in between meals.
If you wait till your stomach is grumbling, your body is already starving (decreased energy and recovery rate).
Extreme hunger is usually countered with the next diet mistake, over-eating, which increases fat storage. One mistake usually leads to the other, putting your body in a vicious cycle of starvation (decreased metabolism) followed by periods of over-eating (fat gain).
Good diet plan of 6 meals a day
smaller meals keep you energized and full throughout the daysnacks keep you from starving during long workouts and in between mealssmaller meals keep your metabolism high while avoiding over-eatingEating smaller meals more closely matches your body?s energy use. Your biggest meals are in the mornings and the one before your workout. Smaller meals keep you satisfied without putting extra calories into you.
Start eating before you get too hungry. Stop eating before you get too full.
Biggest Meal in the Morning
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It?s the first supply of nutrients for your day and kickstarts your body?s metabolism. Once you have a full breakfast, you can make it through the rest of the day on smaller meals to avoid getting hungry. Don?t be silly and skip breakfast as part of your weight loss plan. This leaves you hungry and sends your body into starvation mode (decreasing metabolism), making it stingy for energy and storing everything you eat as fat. You You need to have energy to start your day; you need to eat good breakfast.
Breakfast AFTER Your Morning Run
If you do your runs in the morning, it?s best to eat breakfast after that. First off, running on a full stomach is a terrible idea. Secondly, running on an empty stomach helps you lose weight because your body will be burning off stored fat instead of the food you ate that day. It?s not necessary to do your runs in the morning, but the common belief is that it burns off fat stored from the previous night and energizes you for the day.
Aside from breakfast, the workout meal is the second and only other big meal on your training day
1. No sugar
2. No saturated fat
3. Cut the bread out of your diet
4. Don't combine foods (burgers, sandwiches, etc)
5. Eat things seperate, for an example: a can of tuna
6. Think before you eat. Ask yourself why? Are you really hungry?
7. Take it as a challenge and be proud of yourself for taking care of your body.
8. Motivate yourself. You have a photoshoot of your body that will be posted on facebook in two weeks. What are you going to do about it?
Improve your diet?not your supplements.
Into the realm of training: Work yourself to 80% of your maximal output then rest adequetely. It produces the best results through my research. If I can do 40 max pull ups, I only need to do about sets of 30 to improve aesthetics and fitness components. Do not work yourself out to failure.
Do your endurance cardiovascular workouts in broken rhythm of intervals. It creates a perfect balance of fat loss and lean muscle gain.
You're not serious about fitness if you dont start out with and keep running outdoors in your routine. Running outside is extremely effective, especially if you're aiming to burn belly fat. Another great workout to lean your body and burn off fat in unwanted areas is jumproping. If you don't have a jumprope, do yourself a favor and purchase one. A routine of jumproping for 15-30 minutes 4-5 times a week will suprise you with the results you'll get in just two weeks. When you do your cardio, keep it hard & continous exceeding steady physiological state and producing near exhaustion, not complete exhaustion.
The best four tips for losing fat are diet, metabolic resistance training, high intensity interval training and time.
Signing up at a gym: People need to be self motivated. No piece of equipment is going to get some lazy fat ass off the couch and to the gym. Motivation comes from within.
The gym enviroment is horrible, copying someones style dulls your creativity, conditions & freezes your freedom. You no longer "be", just "do". Your routine becomes stale and inner growth is limited. It's best to discover and arrive at fitness. Surround yourself around experienced fitness professionals who will allow you to be creative.
Poor form: For every incorrect repetition you have completed, three correct repetitions must be done to change the pattern of body memory compartment.
If the exercise movement is performed incorrectly for twenty one days, the body will adapt and accept it.
When one is feeling good, you stand upright and breathe slow and deep. This posture creates a moment of health because it opens you up.
Posture regulates energy levels. A good physical posture can blend in with gravity. A healthy mental posture can blend well in life.
Specificity + Frequent Practice = Success
Do not train to failure. If you can perform a maximum of 10 pull ups, then you?ll want to train by performing 5-8 reps, 3-4 times per day, 4-6 days per week. There is neurological process of where strength gain becomes more efficient, it becomes easier for your muscles to repeat that movement. Hence, by doing more pull ups or more pushups, you get better at doing them. This technique does not only work with bodyweight exercises either. You can easily increase your bench press or squats by incorporating the same methodology.
You may preform 50-80% of your maximum number of reps so that your muscles avoid failure. You should do this 3-4 times per day: morning, noon, night, before bed, any time really. The more often you do it, the better you?ll get at pushups or pull ups. Always stop at least 1 rep shy of failure. You don?t want to teach your muscles to fail during this process.
Do as much work as possible while staying fresh as possible.
Abdominals: Many people are zoned into the aesthics of abdominals and forget the function of abdominals. We get stuck with our ego as human beings to look pretty and put aside our health benefits. The purpose of the abdominal is quality stability, to serve and protect the vital compartment called the Abdominal Cavity. A strong core improves respiration, breathing, blood-flow, brain, immune-system and the other functional obligations to the health of the human body. t's cute to have wash board abdominals, but it has to be a priority to health advancements to exercisers to maintain a strong core.
Keep in mind the stomach is not the abdominal. It is an organ located lower left under the rib cage.The right diet, nutrition and progressive exercise will help to ?flatten? the belly-gut.
The abdominal crunch or sit-ups is ?suppose? to work the upper abdominal. Why are people than working the upper abdominal area? To work abdominals it'll be more efficient to work all areas of the abdominals; obliques, lower abdominals, and your back. Do not divide, but arrive at a functional-collective-effort.
I'll end this writing by killing some myths that may have completely ruined you due to crappy conditioning from "fitness experts" that have fed you with hot bull****.
Myth: Bread and pasta make you fat? How about no.
Truth: Anything can make you gain weight and add excess fat. Lettuce can be stored as fat. Any food or drink with calories can be stored as body fat if it causes your blood sugar levels to exceed what the body NEEDS at that TIME. Bread and pasta are actually great sources of complex carbohydrate! The key is HOW much you eat and WHEN you eat it. Got it?
Myth: Strength training will make you bulk up.
Truth: NO! Mostly women are concerned with this one. Muscles bruns calories, so the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn. This makes it easier to burn fat and harder to gain fat.
Myth: Eating after 6pm will make you fat.
Truth: Not really. It all depends on whether or not the body needs that amount of calories at that time. Keep in mind your body is constantly burning calories, 24 hours per day, just the amount varies. It's just better to eat earlier for energy storage and body recovery. I eat late at night because I work the entire day training people, and I'm only 7% body fat.
We begin again, we never give up.
