First, if you already have an established workout routine, good for you! Having a scheduled time that you work out will help you better adhere to kicking it up a notch in your intensity and cleaning up your diet by discovering what you may doing wrong.
If you are still looking for ways to motivate yourself to hit the gym, here are a few facts to put your mind at ease and to rid your thoughts of those excuses that may be keeping you from your diet goals.
Can the Diet Solution Program help me Gain Lean Mass?
Whether you are male or female , the biggest goal commonality there is, is to lose fat in order to expose and increase lean muscle mass. Your workouts alone will be very important in getting your body fat lower, but your diet will be where the real work is done.
Combining a balanced meal of complex carbohydrates and sufficient protein every time you eat a post-workout meal will be one way to get your fat stores burning properly. This will help you utilize that post-workout surge your body develops correctly.
If you are looking to lose fat fast, consider going on our "no grain" diet. Meal plans that contain fewer carbohydrates in the form of grain tend to show off lean mass quicker.
That will help to increase muscle retention. However, look to lean meat sources as your protein choices. Protein shakes, bars and the like are filled with preservatives, sugar and unnecessary calories. There are so many wonderful ways to incorporate organic meats, like lamb, organic buffalo, bison, chicken and beef.
Workout "Do" #1 Lower Grain intake and up your protein intake
Workout "Don't" #1 - Don't rely on protein supplementation as your protein source, instead eat lean, natural organic meats
What Specific Workout Moves are the Best for a Fat Burning Diet Program?
Get moving. Don't simply rely on long cardio sessions or instead turn to long, strenuous weight sessions at the gym instead get moving in all directions. Your body is designed to use all planes of movement to its advantage. So develop a workout plan from the basics by adding an extra step, jump, lunge, or walk in order to get twice the results from the same effort.
For example, instead of doing a basic squat try this:
Place both of your feet shoulder width apart. Then sit into your hip and lean back as if you were going to sit on a park bench. Once you are into the "sitting" position of the squat then push through your legs and butt to come back up to a stand and repeat.
Another example? Try this:
Get your body back into the same "sitting" position as the basic squat, but add a side step before you come back to standing position. Be sure to alternate left and right steps with each squat.
Combination exercises are major players in getting the most fat burnt in your workouts as possible. Anytime you are doing a basic workout- whether it is a shoulder press or a dumbbell fly, add a lung, a bicep curl, a burpee or a squat. Make singularly planar movements, multi-planar movements and see your body shape begin to change before your eyes.
Workout "Do" #2 Turn basic exercises into compound movements for the most calorie efficient way to increase lean muscle mass.
Workout "Don't" #2 Don't keep your workout the same. Always be on the lookout for new ways to challenge and surprise your body to instigate real change.
