The Easiest Diet Tip For Fat Loss

Hope you’re having a great week!

With spring around the corner, and summer not far off, so many guys are focusing on fat loss for a spring break vacation down south.

I get people asking me diet and workout questions almost everyday.

The easiest diet tip for fat loss I always give them that they can use TODAY is to have a PROTEIN and PRODUCE dinner.

This one small switch without changing anything else in your diet makes a huge difference. Plus, this easiest diet tip for fat loss is easy to do and the tasty meal varieties are endless but the results are almost instant!

By eating REAL FOOD such as lean proteins like chicken, turkey, beef, pork, or fish with some vegetables and staying away from starchy carbs like pasta, potatoes, rice, bread and even beans in your evening dinner you avoid that large spike in insulin (the fat storage hormone).

Most of our activity levels are low in the evening anyway so our bodies don’t need all this excess energy rich calories (carbohydrates).

With this easiest diet tip for fat loss You will get LEANER but also feel a lot better without the drowsiness, bloating and gas that high carb foods cause…

Even if you workout in the evening, lean meats and veggies will provide you with all the nutrients you need to build muscle and burn fat.

Give this easiest diet tip for fat loss a try, enjoy the foods you do eat and more importantly enjoy the results!

Last week I posted a video showing you warmup exercises for your workout. Performing a proper warmup is the first piece in the puzzle of having a perfect workout.

It’s especially important if you live in a colder climate like me where it’s currently -50 degrees Celsius with the windchill!  Yeah you read that right…minus 50 degrees Celsius.  So I make sure to add a couple extra minutes to my workout warmup when the temperatures drop to these insane levels…

If you started your workout off right with a dynamic warm-up, now its time to call it a day with a proper cool down. This is when you should be doing some old school static stretching, which basically consists of stretching a muscle as far as your flexibility will allow and then holding that position for 10-15 seconds.

Static stretching is of value primarily for preventing or correcting excessive muscle tension and establishing proper muscle length at the joints, both of which will improve movement efficiency.

This type of stretching is best performed post-workout or several hours after the exercise session. Always easy into a stretch while gradually increasing the range of motion as your flexibility improves.

Here is my stretching routine that I make sure I do after EVERY workout…

I CRINGE every time I see some clown stroll into the gym cold off the street and start loading up the bar without completing a proper warmup.

Coincidentally it seems the same people who neglect this important part of their workout are the same people complaining about shoulder pain or back pain and wrap themselves up like a mummy before their workout with wrist wraps, elbow wraps, knee wraps and the infamous weight lifting belt for EVERY exercise so they can manage to get through their workout.

Even though I don’t recommend the “old school” warmups of walking on a treadmill for 5 minutes and then static stretching before your workout, (which I will explain in a future post) it is still a lot better than doing nothing at all!

What I do recommend is a Dynamic Warm-Up before you workout, so here is my current warmup I do before EVERY Dad Fitness workout to enhance muscular activation and increase joint mobility.

Give this one a try or let me know what you do for your workout warmup by leaving a comment below…
