This program is designed around your day. There are too many rules to follow in most programs that really do not make a difference. You must be able to follow a program that is designed for your daily routine otherwise you are destined to fail. We do implement 5 – 6 meals per day but the time in which these meals are consumed will be based on your schedule. We believe that you can eat right until bed. Meals are consumed during your 24 hour clock not ones that are set for you.
A goal to lose fat and gain muscle is only possible in extremely rare cases and with genetically gifted athletes. For the majority of clients who desire to gain muscle they must be in an excess of calories but to drop body fat they must be in a deficit of calories. In most cases we would design a program to drop body fat first. It is much easier to drop body fat than gain muscle. A lean body is going to grow more efficiently than a heavier body. Calories would be designed for the scale to drop. Once you are happy with your body fat percentage calories would be slowly increased so that muscle mass starts to increase.
People are usually shocked to find out that a lean desirable physique is really won in the kitchen and not in the gym. A lean midsection is made possible by losing body fat from the abdominal area. Doing numerous sit-ups will not drop body fat; sit-ups develop the muscle under the body fat. As long as you carry fat in that region you will not be able to see the muscle under the fat. Consuming the correct types of food choices and adding in some cardiovascular exercise will help you lean out and in time allow those muscles to show through. It is very common for our competitive clients to not add in any abdominal training as diet is the key to revealing a set of defined abs.
