When you see a diet or plan that has complicated days, food combos or special supplements to have at certain times, you can be almost guaranteed that these are included to make it novel and different and to set it apart from other plans - not because of some secret that no one else knows.
This is especially true if exercise, particularly strength training is not part of the plan.
I love FAST FAT LOSS, however what I am knocking is the muscle and other lean tissues you’re losing on these programs.
Dieting (of any kind) without strength training will lead to a large amount of that weight loss not even being fat at all.
If you are reducing calories (which is what these plans do no matter what they’re telling you) you absolutely must strength train as well.
Walking is awesome. But it’s not enough.
It’s not enough if you’re 20 or 60 and it’s not enough if you’re 5kg overweight, at a healthy weight or have 40kg to lose.
You must strength train regularly and you must include some kind of cardio Side note, walking is NOT cardio.
If you’re following these plans successfully, great, but do not neglect protecting your lean tissue. I can guarantee you will come to regret that down the track.
My advice when dieting:
🥚Include enough protein daily with bigger amounts in each meal, not tiny serves
🏋️♂️Strength train. Without it all the protein won't help.
🚴🏻Do some aerobic training/cardio ( this does not have to be running !)
🚶🏽♀️Walk as well if you have time after the above. Don’t prioritise walking over other training - but include it definitely if you can fit it in as well.
💊Stop using expensive supplements / bars / meal replacements. They’re mostly making your wallet lighter and someone else’s heavier
📝Have an exit plan from the program. Even if you think you’re going to follow it long term, you won’t. And if the plan is to just stop following it, that’s not a plan. Plan for how you are going to prevent gaining all your weight back as body fat - because if you don’t have that plan, you definitely will
