NUTRITION BASICS FOR FAT LOSS – 3 VIDEOS

One of the largest barriers people have when trying to burn fat and lose weight is their Nutrition. It is not necessarily that they are not trying hard, but the lack of knowledge concerning nutrition is what usually prevents the majority of people from starting or sticking with a diet.

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

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

MACRONUTRIENTS
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



WHAT TYPE OF FOODS TO EAT OVERVIEW

- Whole Foods, Clean Foods, Real Foods
- 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

DO NOT pollute your body with
• processed foods,
• packaged foods,
• deep fried foods
• take out like McDonald's,
• junk food,
• soda/pop,
• alcohol
• frozen microwave meals




Real 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.

  9. Awards have been tested to increase the credibility of a website
    (which equals more money) so make a website with a fancy logo and offer it to
    web masters that meet your award's standards. com is a relatively easy option if you just want to toss a quick hobby site online. The argument can be easily be made that athletics are the main reason that higher education institutions continue to receive ample funding and revenue to maintain a university and sports facilities.
