The purpose of a fat loss diet is to lower your bodyfat percentage by decreasing the entire mass of bodyfat for your body. Your bodyfat mass is your bodyfat percentage times your bodyweight.
Here is how to calculate your bodyfat percentage with the FatTrack Gold Digital Bodyfat Caliper. Simply use the caliper to pinch your skin layer at 3 body locations and the caliper gives you your bodyfat percentage, based upon your gender, age group, & weight. Do not spend time manually taking skinfold measurements and doing mathematics. Get the FatTrack GOLD Digital Bodyfat Caliper today!
The diet designed for losing fat is practically identical to the diet intended for building muscle, with the exception of a few crucial differences.
Here Are the Calculations for Cutting the Calorie Daily allowance for a person weighing in at 185pounds:
Start with multiplying the bodyweight in pounds by a variable number somewhere between 10 and 14.
To do that we could say: 12 (the number) x 185 (body weight in pounds) = 2,220 calories per day.

Adjust this number according to how quickly you are shedding pounds. You need to lose only 1% of your bodyweight weekly, no more than that! Any more means you are likely shedding muscle mass! Your goal is to lose fat and to maintain just as much muscle as possible.
In the cutting fat phase, you’ll want to limit your intake of food considerably. Continue to keep to the nutrition rules including eating every 3 hours, drinking a gallon of water daily, and eating protein with every meal. Cutting is the targeted burning up of fat.
NEVER CONSUME CARBS alone in the cutting phase. Always be sure to eat them with protein.
I suggest that your particular cutting calorie ratios be set up as follows – 30% Protein, 40% Carbs, and 30% Fat.
For fat loss, your daily calorie intake ought to be 500 calories below your everyday calorie needs. First, compute your BMR. Then, work out your daily calorie requirements.
Stay at 500 calories less than your Daily Calorie Requirements for so long as you want to still lose fat. Healthy fat loss is a maximum of 1% of your body weight weekly. Any further weight reducing than that is likely muscle reduction, except if your bodyfat percentage is quite high (25% ), in which case as much as 3% bodyweight decline a week is permissible.
A more rapid than 1% rate of weight reduction probably means you are losing important muscle. So, when you are 200 pounds before you start cutting, aim to lose 2 pounds per week. YOU MUST monitor your calorie intake daily with Fitday! See my FitDay food log (cutting phase diet).
If needed, modify your calories. If, within the cutting phase, you aren’t losing 1.0% of your bodyweight every week and the ratios are right and confirmed by FitDay, then you need to lower your calorie consumption. Start off by lowering daily calorie intake by around 200-300 calories and go on from there.
Continuously checking your progress is important. You simply will have to log your nutrient intake in FitDay each day to be certain of what and how much you are eating. The principal goal while in the fat loss phase is decreasing your bodyfat percentage, which means you must determine and calculate this at least once a week as long as you’re in the fat loss phase.
Focus on wholegrain foods, complex carbs, and protein (very important). Try eating foods in the Diet To Generate Muscle page. Only be sure to focus on your ratios (below) plus your fat loss calorie constraint.
You have exact rules for the cutting phase diet. During these times, you ought to be on a really low calorie, low fat diet. Consume 10-14 times your body weight in calories. The fat loss diet has 30% protein, 40% carbs and 30% fat. The fat intake is lowered due to the increased fat consumption within the mass diet. It is simply a process to cycle and re-adjust your metabolism. The protein and carb calories have been increased to make up for the lost fat calories..
The post cardio meal inside the cutting phase can be as vital as it was in the bulking phase. The major difference inside the cutting phase diet is when you eat the post-cardio meal. In my previous workout, I could eat it the moment I finished my cardio, however for my new program I can’t. I now wait for an entire hour before I eat my first meal. The reason is, your system continues to be combusting fat at a high rate for as much as 1 hour after you terminate exercising. Within the fat loss diet there isn’t any tolerance for going out to restaurants. To help keep your body fat in check, I advocate cooking all of your meals.
Minimize simple carbohydrate supply whilst in the fat loss phase. To begin with, you must cut down your consumption of simple carbohydrate (candies, syrups, sugar, alcohol, milk and milk products, and processed white flour products). Focus on eating complex starchy carbs like brown rice, whole grain products, beans, potatoes, and yams. You may, however, still eat simple solid carbs like rice cakes, cream of wheat, popcorn, etc. if you remember to mix all of them with protein. This will adequately extend the time of digestion to avoid any kind of insulin response.
Within this fat reduction phase you are not permitted to consume any fruit or drink fresh fruit juices. This is important to minimize fat storage. From an insulin reaction perspective, there is no distinction between drinking a soda and consuming fruit juice. Each of these are composed of simple sugars that create a high insulin response and the suppression of glucagon. Should you stay on the fat reduction diet for more than a couple of weeks, you could possibly begin eating fruit once more once your metabolism has increased enough. While I usually do not recommend it, if you really MUST have some fruit, your best option will be green apples. If you eat them peeling and everything, they’ve got more dietary fiber and less simple carbs than almost any other fruit.
You will also be keeping away from milk and milk products with this diet. Not only does milk have a very great deal of fat and sugar, it also comes with high levels of sodium, which leads to water retention along with a smooth bloated appearance. Make sure you reduce your eating of simple carbohydrates! Candies, syrups, sugar, alcohol, milk and milk products, and processed white flour products have to go, except for superior simple carbohydrates post-workout.

Having some lunch, heading out to do some cardio training. Florida is in a week, got to get ready!
I want to be fit, healthy & mobile. I do not care where I land on the scale. I was an incredible & powerful water fitness instructor at 290 lbs. Of course I was 10 years younger, but it is possible to be fit & “thick.” As long as I am fit and can achieve my goals & am healthy inside & out, I will be happy. As I get more fit & healthy, weight loss will be a side effect. I M OK w/ that………..lol. Good video. God Bless!
OMG!!! as soon as she said to stop eating after eight i dropped my pizza to the floor, god damn it
been studying the topic of weight loss for about 10 years now a personal trainer for a living) so I think I can shed some light on the topic.
HOW TO LOSE FAT
1) Cut out carbs in the evenings (eat “low glycemic” carb sources in the day).
2) Choose the exercises that burn the most calories (NOT sit ups and curls). Squats, Lunges, Pull Ups etc. are great examples.
3) Use the software and meal plans from FatLossCustomized. com
4) Perform high intensity interval training.
A peanut butter and honey sandwich with chocolate milk is a great post workout meal!
