A big mistake I see with dieters is that they go into a diet with the intention of being overly strict on what they allow themselves to eat. The problem is that when they slip up and cheat, they see it as absolute failure and quit the entire idea. The result is a retiring back to old, bad habits.
I was no exception to this either. Healthy nutrition was my biggest struggle. I was pretty big and muscular to an extent, but I could not get the six pack abs or real defined muscles.
So after I retired (from volleyball) and changed my training from traditional weight lifting to High Intensity Interval Circuits, the fat started to peel off, but I still couldn’t get the six pack.
So I decided to concentrate more on cleaning up my diet, getting rid of all the junk and crap and learning more about proper nutrition. And you know what? It was easier than I thought.
Look I am not a certified nutritionist, but with a few years of research, working on my own nutrition for my pro Muay Thai fight, fitness modeling and becoming a nutrition guru for MMA athletes.
Add working alongside Laura Discepola from Fit to Eat Nutrition for my Spartacus Program and of course engaged to a former bodybuilder and current muay thai fighter, I have been able to somewhat master the art of nutrition for fat loss and I am still learning and evolving.
So now I want to share all my nutrition knowledge and success with you. Over the next couple of months, I will be posting 10 nutrition videos to help you with you weight and fat loss goals.
I used all the nutrition information I am going to share with you to help me with my 8 Week Spartacus Workout and Nutrition Body Transformation, plus it’s a key in my two of my up-coming projects (Spartacus Workout 2.0 Program and Nutrition for Combat Fighters).
The great thing is that it has also worked for hundreds of people. The information that I am going to share with you is not new, I did not create it, and in fact it’s simple to follow.
So if you are a male or female with a goal for weight and fat loss, sit back, grab a pen, watch, listen and take down some tips and start to implement clean healthy nutrition into your lifestyle.
Below is a 3 part series on the Nutrition Basics for Weight and Fat Loss. I have also included some notes that accompany the information in the videos, so that you don’t have to remember everything or in case you missed the important points
NUTRITION FOR WEIGHT AND FAT LOSS - PART 1
NUTRITION FOR WEIGHT AND FAT LOSS - PART 2 -
WHAT TO EAT AND WHAT TO STAY AWAY FROM
NUTRITION FOR WEIGHT AND FAT LOSS - PART 3 - ONE DAY FAT LOSS MEAL PLAN
VIDEO NOTES:
We know how important nutrition is to fat loss.
- 75-80% of fat loss success will come from your nutrition
- You can’t out train a bad diet
- You go on the treadmill or elliptical and burn 300 calories and then you step into the kitchen and eat a muffin or a piece of pizza and within a minute it you put those 300 calories or more back on.
PHYSICALLY ACTIVE PERSON (SPARTACUS, MMA ATHLETE, WORKOUT FANATIC, ATHLETES VS SEDENTARY PERSON
- More calories needed
- Timing of Nutrients
- Increase Carbohydrates
- Increase Protein
NUTRIENTS
- Everything we eat provide nutrients – all foods
- 6 categories of nutrients which all provide different functions
- Eat proper food to get the best and most nutrients for your body
- Nutrients work together
MACRONUTRIENTS AND MICRONUTRIENTS

1. Carbohydrates – provides energy for the body
2. Protein - rebuilds and repairs tissue and helps to build muscle and fat loss
3. Healthy Fats – part of all cells and protect internal organs and provide fat soluble vitamins
4. Water – most important nutrient for the body, 60% of the body, without any water we can only last a couple of days before we die, we can last about 30 days without food
MICRONUTRIENTS
- Vitamins and Minerals regulate varies body processes
- They work in different cells- Vitamins and minerals DO NOT PROVIDE ENERGY – a lot of people will be taking a vitamin supplement and think that their energy is higher – that is physicalogically impossible unless you are deficient in a mineral – in in our society (Western) the levels of very low deficiency is very low
CALORIES
- Carbs 4 Kcal/g
- Protein 4 Kcal/g
- Fats 9 kcal/g – that is why they must monitor fat intake
- Alcohol – 7kcal/g
- Water 0kcal/g
- Lean Proteins, Real meats like chicken, fish, turkey, lean ground beef – unless your are Vegan
- COMPLEX Carbs – veggies and fruits
- Real fruits like strawberries, apples, oranges, bananas, etc
- Real vegetables like broccoli, spinach, carrots, etc- Healthy Fats - Olive oil, omega fish oil
- Real drinks like water, green tea and non-sweetened iced tea
THINGS TO STAY AWAY FROM

• junk food,
• soda/pop,
• alcohol
• frozen microwave mealsReal foods don't have as many calories, and they don't have near the amount of terrible side effects
Stick to the real foods and you'll be sure to hit your weight loss goal.
BASIC ONE DAY PLAN RULES

Great post Funk, thanks for sharing these very useful informations. I can't wait to try the Spartacus 2.0 program.

While the mainstream fitness media still insists that aerobic
Deleteexercise is a great way to lose weight, Turbulence Training users
know that interval training is the better way to burn body fat.
Still not convinced?
A recent study published by the North American Association for the
Study of Obesity, subjects aged 40 to 75 were instructed to do 60
minutes of aerobic exercise per day for 6 days per week for an
entire year.
Given the amount of exercise, you'd expect weight losses of 20, 30
pounds, or more, right?
Well, the surprise findings showed the average fat loss for female
subjects was only 4 pounds for the entire year, while men lost 6.6
pounds of fat over the year. That's over 300 hours of aerobic
exercise just to lose a measly 6 pounds of blubber. Not time well
spent, in my opinion.
So what's the better way? Stick with Turbulence Training, using
interval training and strength training to get better bodysculpting
results. With intervals, you'll achieve more fat burning results in
less workout time.
The next time you are out exercising, perform a session of interval
training. If you are walking or running outside, find an incline
that can challenge you for 60 seconds, then walk down for 60-120
seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.
If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to
safely increase the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to the
normal pace for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.
You can also use a rowing machine, bicycle or stationary bike, or
even an elliptical machine to do intervals.
But whatever you do, stay away from boring, ineffective cardio
exercise workouts and stick with Turbulence Training for your fat
burning program.

"I'm 25 and was seriously overweight at the start of this year. I've
been doing the TT for Fat Loss Workouts and after 5 months of
training. I've lost nearly 28lbs. I want to take this opportunity
to thank Craig for making your knowledge so accessible and your
articles and blogs that not only make us think about our
lifestyles, but encourage us to change them for better health."

"Turbulence Training makes so much sense and I really enjoy the
different workouts so never get bored. From an aussie that was
looking for something other than just another weight workout
with the same old moves this has been a real eye opener for me and
I have been telling my friends just how great the TT method is."
Kelli Tomkins, Australia

I love your workout. I started and missed a week of the four week challenge so I decided to start over. Do you have a workout video for week two? I do warm-up and strech before and after my workout however not sure why the stretch was on week two workout.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say, I have lost so much weight (25 lbs and counting!)and look leaner and feel so much stronger since I have adopted these simple rules. It's common sense really but it takes commitment to do it. I used to hate sweet potatoes but now I love 'em! I look forward to working out too now that I am over the initial sore phase:) You are an inspiration. I owe you bro!
