​​🔥The modern approach: fat burning protocol 2020

Today one of the most sought after effects in the fitness and health sector is fat loss, we are going to provide you with a protocol consisting of training, supplementation and diet focused on fat loss and that its validity has been proven.


🏋🏼Training

We are going to focus on a metabolic type training for two reasons, it is an intense training that consumes a lot of Kcal and increases our metabolic rate in the short term, I would do this type of training 2 to 3 times a week and the rest of our days follow your normal workout routine.

A metabolic training is usually composed of compound exercises with very little rest between them, the training will consist of Supersets (groups of different exercises) of which we will perform 2-3 sets of 10-13 reps resting between 30 to 40 secs: 1 (Barbell Squats, Standing Dumbbel Shoulder Press), 2 (Standard Lunges, Incline Dubbell Bench Press), 3 (Single Arm Dumbbel Rows, V Ups).


🔪Diet

We are going to do a PSMF diet, it is a diet really high in protein and low in calories.

If we have less than 15% fat (M) or 24% (W) we will consume 2.5-3/p x kg of LBM on metabolic training days and 3.5-4g on weight training days, we will follow the diet for 11 days and we will carry out a carbohydrate load 🍚 3 days in a row after finishing it.
If you have a higher fat percentage, the protein will be reduced by 0.5-1g.
Carbs and fats will only be consumed in trace form.


💊Supplementation

☕️Caffeine: stimulates the NS, increases energy expenditure and the transport of fats and their oxidation.
🍵EGCG: increases energy expenditure and lipid oxidation.
⚪️P-synephrine: increases metabolism, lipolysis and thermogenesis.

I would recommend taking them at a dosage of 200mg caffeine (or more) + 10mg Synephrine + 500mg EGCG, 30 minutes before training.

​​🔖 Pro tip of the day: carb cycling

Carb cycling is a plan that consists of rotating High, Moderate and Low carbohydrate intakes according to your daily workout plan and to the end goal of your diet.


👨🏼‍🔬According to the current research, when the amount of glycogen is lower the basal metabolic rate increases 🔥 (in part due to the enhance mitochondrial density), increasing fat burning up to three times the amount of fat that the control group burned (but it can also cause a greater loss of muscle 🙅🏻).


📝One of the simplest methods of carb cycling (and very useful to see how your body reacts to it) is known as "Fuel for the work required", the premise of this method is simple, adjust 📈 the amount of carbohydrates consumed depending on the training needs.

An example of this routine would be on leg days using high carbs 🍚, on upper body moderate carbs 🍙 and on rest days low carbs 🥩.

If your goal is to progress in a specific muscle group, just change the high carb days to the days of that specific muscle group ✔️, if you train a strong muscle group the first thing in the morning ☀️, it would be advisable to do the high carb day the day before, since muscle glycogen is not lost at night, only liver glycogen.

​​📜Stomach health guide: Prebiotics

Prebiotics are substances that nourish specific microorganisms in the intestine, favoring the growth of populations of beneficial bacteria (generally the prebiotics are polysaccharides and oligosaccharides).

✔️They stimulate the increase in the population of bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, responsible for the fermentation process in the colon.

✔️They produce a decrease in the stomach pH, managing to control the populations of the most harmful microorganisms.

✔️At the blood level, they have various functions such as the reduction of cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid levels ⬇️, the absorption of minerals and the reduction of glucose levels, among others.

✔️They improve intestinal defenses 🛡 against intestinal infections.

✔️They reduce the time of intestinal transit and have a laxative effect, which can lead to diarrhea 🚽 or an upset stomach if the dose is not properly regulated.


👨🏼‍🔬We have the following types of prebiotics:

🧄Inulin: It is a dietary fiber.
🌾Oligofructose: it is obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin.
🍎Pectic substances
🥛Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)
🍅Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS)


📝The effectiveness will depend on two factors:

The type of oligosaccharide selected although the average dose to increase the population of bifidobacteria is 15g / day .

The intestinal microbiota of the user, since the number of bifidobacteria prior to the start of treatment is very important, for example in the adult population 3g / day may be sufficient 👌🏻, for this reason an examination of the intestinal microbiota is recommended.

​​💡Pro Tip: Lazy meal planner

🍽 We all know the importance of meal planning in bodybuilding and training in general. However most are lazy enough to skip this part. Here is the lazy meal planner aimed to ease the daunting task. The right proportions for each meal, no calcs:

🍳Protein:
For each meal, choose a protein food from the following:

✔️2 eggs plus 6 egg whites
✔️Can of tuna
✔️140 g of chicken breast
✔️140 g of fish or lean beef
✔️100 g of cottage cheese
✔️50g protein powder
📃Numbers to help you: A 75 kg person should aim for 30-35 g of protein per meal, or 165 g for the day.

🍚 Carbohydrates:
For each meal, choose 2-3 foods from the following:

✔️2 slices of bread
✔️1 medium bowl of oatmeal
✔️100 g of rice
✔️1 medium potato or sweet potato
✔️1 medium bun
✔️100 g of corn
✔️36 cl of orange juice
✔️1/2 liter of milk

🥦🥬🥒 Eat as much vegetables as possible. It will help to digest everything above and fulfill you with vitamins and important nutrients.

🔖 Basal Metabolic Rate – How to estimate and how to use it

🔥Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR for short, is the term used for the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals (including humans) at rest. In practical terms, metabolism consists of the processes that the body needs to function, such as breathing, blood circulation, controlling body temperature, cell growth, nerve and brain function, and contraction of muscles. BMR affects the rate that a person burns calories and ultimately whether that individual maintains, gains or loses weight.

​​🔖 Pro Tip: Intra-workout supplementation

When people talk about supplementation for athletes and gym-goers, they usually think of pre and post-workout shakes containing protein, sometimes carbs and that’s about it. However, intra-workout supplementation🥛 is a great tool as well and these are some benefits of using it:

⚡️ Increased Energy and Endurance: intra-workout supplement users usually experience prolonged energy, especially those that are on a restrictive, low-carb diet or working out fasted.
💧 Improved Hydration: intra-workout supplements here help in two fronts. They provide the electrolytes necessary to keep drinking more water without causing unbalance and by making the water taste better since they add flavor to it.
💪 Reduced Muscle Breakdown: amino acids and the carb load provide enough energy for your body to go through a training session without having to tap into the amino acids in your muscle tissue for energy.
🧬 Improved Muscle Protein Synthesis: if your body doesn’t have to break down muscle tissue to access amino acids, it means it will have an increased metabolic capacity to build lean tissue.
🛠 Better Recovery: you don’t have to wait until your workout is done to start replenishing your body with the nutrients it needs. Why not get a head start and do it while you’re training?

🍰 Hardcore Appetite Suppressants

When it comes to losing fat, one of the most powerful tools one can use is an appetite suppressant, especially if one is always struggling not to eat during a cut.

There are dozens of appetite suppressants that one can get over the counter in any pharmacy or even through amazon. Supplements containing saffron extract, apple cider vinegar, garcinia cambogia, among other ingredients, are very common, legal and somewhat effective for most people. Even caffeine is an appetite suppressant and mild fat-burner.

💉 Tesofensine 101

Tesofensine is an SNDRI (Serotonin-Norepinephrine-Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor) medication that was originally developed for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, but which is now being studied for its fat-burning properties.

SNDRIs are similar to SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) in that they increase the activity of neurotransmitters to improve mood and well-being. In other words, Tesofensine could be described as an anti-depressant medication.

💊 Albuterol 101: better than Clenbuterol?

Albuterol is a Beta-2-Adrenergic Agonist developed for the treatment of respiratory disorders in humans and animals. Albuterol is very similar to Clenbuterol, but it has never been as popular because it’s a much weaker compound.

Despite this, Albuterol is easier to get and much safer. In fact, most people who have tried both prefer albuterol because it allows them to still lose a lot of fat without feeling as bad as they do on Clenbuterol.

💊 DMHA: Better than DMAA?

Bodybuilders are always on the lookout for new Performance Enhancing Drugs that can help them take their physique and performance to the next level. A drug that has grown in popularity in recent years is the stimulant / fat-burner known as DMHA (1,5-Dimethylhexylamine), which represents an incredible alternative to the now illegal (yet still widely available) DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine).

DMHA is a sympathomimetic compound, meaning it mimics the effects of the sympathetic nervous system. It was initially developed as a nasal decongestant and bronchodilator, but it is more commonly used for increased focus, energy levels and fat loss.

🍩 T3: a misunderstood fat-burner?

T3 (triiodothyronine) is a naturally-occurring thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism, digestion, cognition, immunity and even sexual function to a small extent.

This is a hormone that we all have and need in order to function optimally, but it can also be used exogenously to replace endogenous T3 levels in people with hypothyroidism, or as a fat-burning drug in a bodybuilding context.

The exogenous form of T3 is called liothyronine (brand name Cytomel) and is orally bioavailable. Even though this drug is safe and effective when it comes to fixing hypothyroidism, it can be very dangerous when used to speed up fat loss in a bodybuilding context.

☝🏻 Protein powders: what differs between them

Achieving your fitness goals, particularly when it comes to building muscle and conquering a nice physique, requires a complete approach that includes proper nutrition, exercise, endocrine conditions and recovery. One of the most important components of this equation is protein intake, the “building block” of muscles. Achieving the daily target of protein eating just natural foods is not always easy, so supplementing with protein powders is quite common. Different types of protein powders do similar jobs but have their own characteristics in supporting muscle growth and recovery. In this article, we’ll explore various proteins and how they contribute to your journey of building a better looking and stronger body.

👩‍⚕️ How to fix your gut health

If you are a bodybuilder, chances are your gut health is suboptimal. Years of eating copious amounts of food can cause gut distension and mess up your digestive system. Pair that with the use of all kinds of supplements and oral PEDs and you’ve got yourself a recipe for constant flatulence, irregular bowel movements, diarrhea, and most importantly, systemic inflammation which leads to skin problems, hair loss and other health issues.

Even though this is not a “hardcore bodybuilding” topic, I feel like it’s important to share tips on how to fix gut health because it plays such a big role on overall health and well-being, especially among bodybuilders.
