The HIERARCHY of Fat Loss

Stolen from a great article by Alwyn Cosgrove:

1.         Correct Nutrition

2.         See Number 1

3.         Activities that burn calories, maintain/promote muscle mass and elevate metabolism

4.         Activities that burn calories and elevate metabolism

5.         Activities that burn calories but don’t necessarily maintain muscle or elevate metabolism

·         Time is a finite resource so use it wisely.

·         If you have 4 hours a week to dedicate to working out avoid long slow cardio.

·         High intensity metabolic work and Strength is priority #1.

·         Combine this with a healthy diet of mostly vegetables, lean meat, fruit, nuts, seeds, but not too much.  No processed foods

·         Treat grains like a poison.  No liquid calories-drink water. 

·         You cannot out-train a bad diet
