My Weight Loss Diet Plan

Try My Weight Loss Diet Plan and I Guarantee You will lose weight and do it naturally with Real Food!


My Weight Loss Diet Plan Try my weight loss diet plan and see for yourself that it is simple and effective.

If you ever tried to loose weight and either never have been able to do it successfully or at least never been able to keep it off then I have good news for you.

After never being able to lean up and lose weight all my life, I have finally figured out how to do it.

I kind of knew how before. I knew that I needed to burn more calories than I consume in a day but I was a victim of many myths going around. Plus, I just like eating and can never stick to a diet long term.

I was skinny when I was a child and a teenager. I was always concerned with gaining muscle. 

When I was in college I started lifting weights and gained some muscle but I never stuck with it because the gains are so few that it hardly seemed worth all the effort. My body type does not put on muscle easily.

Consequently, over the years I was always afraid that if I did too many reps or ran too much I would loose muscle. I didn't want to sacrifice any muscle for fat loss and really I never lost fat or became lean like I always wanted. I'm sure that there are millions of other men who have had or experience the same thing.

 

Myth 1: You'll Lose Muscle if You do too many Reps 
or too much Cardiovascular Exercise

Baloney! This false belief has kept me under a layer of fat and a double chin most of my adult life. The best way and the quickest way to lose fat is to do cardiovascular exercise that incorporates a major muscle group like running, cycling, aerobics, etc.

My main vehicle was running. It worked for me because I can get away from all the stress of working for a living and raising a family of four. Also, because I found out that my body is better suited for running than weight lifting. 

With my low fat diet plan you will lose weight but you'll lose it more than twice as fast if you regularly exercise with an aerobic routine.

Myth 2: Bread will Make You Fat

Hogwash! Fat makes you fat. Carbohydrates doesn't readily  turn into fat but consuming fat is easily converted to stored fat. Even the FDA recognizes that you should consume fat sparingly. 

The average American diet is full of fat and hormones. The hormones are what the farmers and ranchers use to fatten their livestock quicker. Then you consume the fat and the hormones indirectly. That makes for a fat epidemic.

Plus, a gram of fat has more than twice as many calories per gram (9cal) than carbohydrates and protein (4cal each). That's why high fat foods have so many calories.

This doesn't mean that you have to be a vegetarian though, unless you want to. My heart healthy diet plan has plenty of protein and is low in fat. This is very good for your heart. This is a concern for me since heart disease runs in my family. Does it run in your family too?

In addition, the fact that the average American has less time than ever to cook now leads to lots of fast food meals and eating on the run. Most of which ends up being poor choices of fattening food. My weight loss diet plan is all quick, easy and healthy!


How to Loose Weight (Fat not the Muscle)

It's a simple formula really. Don't make it more confusing than it has to be. The KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). principle applies here:

 

Albert Einstein said that the fundamental laws are so simple and beautiful, there must be a creator (of the Universe). Their is a beauty to simplicity.

In order to burn fat you must burn more calories in 24 hours than what you consume.

             Weight Loss = Calories Burned - Calories Consumed

First you have to determine what your Basic Metabolic Rate is (BMR for short). That is the amount of calories your body burns, assuming that you do nothing but normal activity in a 24 hour period.

 

You can simply do a search for "basic metabolic rate calculator" on a search engine and use a few of the calculators to get an average. They all vary a little. This should get you a close estimate.  

 

Then calculate how many calories you burn in your workout. I like to use the Weather channel's Health & Fitness Calorie Burn calculator. It has alot of different exercise options including walking, running, cycling, aerobics etc.

 

Add those two figures together and you know that you need to consume less calories in one day in order to lose weight and burn fat. The formula looks like this - 

Fat Burned = (BMR + Calories Burned) - Calories Consumed


Obviously, for this to work you've got to know how many calories you are consuming. So how do you know?

 

"Most people, under estimate how many calories they eat and over estimate how many calories they burn..."

 

You've got to get realistic estimates here or you will end up being frustrated with slow to no fat loss. 

 

So how do you get realistic food facts? By reading the labels on packaged food, required by the FDA. Start reading the labels when you go grocery shopping and/or look them up online.

 

I've already shown my sample diet below. It may be boring but it works for me like clockwork. Stick with this diet for a month, 3 months or 6 months and you will see how dramatically it works.

 

As a matter of fact, start getting ready for people accusing you of being anorexic or bulimic just because you have been so successful at loosing fat.

 

It happened to me. Many in my family were saying that I must not be eating, that I must be anorexic or bulimic...That's a new one to me...I've never been accused of such things before!

 

I said "All I'm doing is eating healthy and exercising. What's wrong with that?"

 

How to Lose One Pound A Week

This is what I was shooting for while I was loosing weight. Losing 1 pound of fat a week.

 

So in order to do this, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you consume in one week. There are approximately 3,500 calories in a pound of fat.

 

Try to exercise 3 - 6 times a week with an aerobic exercise like running, cycling, walking and calculate the calories burned by using the Health & Fitness Calorie Burn calculator

 

Also, you may try cross training with strength building workouts if you are concerned with losing muscle, which is not very likely as long as you maintain 20% of your calories from protein (like my fat loss diet plan below).

 

By the time that you calculate your plan, then you just need to execute it consistently. Even if you don't feel like it, try to stick with your plans. Make it a priority or you will end up giving up.

 

But if you do miss a workout, don't give up. Get right back on the horse and start exercising again on your next scheduled exercise. 

 

Likewise, if you eat bad for a meal because you are unable to eat what you want either because you don't have access to it or because of social situations, don't give up, eat in moderation, low fat if you can and get right back on your diet plan the next meal.

 

Keep doing these things consistently and you WILL lose weight (ie. loose fat not the muscle).

 

For a more in depth study on foods that burn fat see Tom Nenuto's Burn the Fat.

This is a sure-fire weight loss plan that will guarantee that you will:

  • Lose weight for good - No quick weight loss that will come right back immediately after you get off of it. 

  • 100% Real Food - No liquid diet or meal replacements. Just real food that you can buy at the grocery store.

  • Never be Hungry - This is the reason that most people fail. Who wants to starve themselves to death. That's not healthy. This keeps your metabolism up.

  • No Time Consuming Meal Preparation - My healthy diet plan does not necessarily require a lot of preparation unless you want to. That's up to you.

  • Know How Many Calories You are Consuming - Not what you think you are consuming but really learning the facts about what kinds of foods are lean or fattening.
